Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 117 Do you want to make money?
The rain seemed to be getting heavier. The two turned left and right, and finally saw the figure in front of them stopped at the door of a very luxurious-looking house.

He spread out the notice again, checked it, and then walked forward to chat with the servant standing guard at the door.

Seeing this, the other soul masters who followed closely also gathered towards the door of the residence.

Kong took a look and followed forward. He wanted to see what the young man who had the commission was up to.

"Are you all here to sign up for the Soul Ring Hunting Team? Wait here for a moment. I'll go get the butler."

After the servant at the door had a conversation with the young man, he looked at the crowd behind him, said something, and then turned and walked into the door.

Another servant stood guard at the door, looking warily at the group of soul masters in front of him who relied on bounties for a living.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a hunched figure appeared in front of the gate. He put his hands behind his back and squinted his small green bean eyes as he looked at the people outside the gate.
Then he nodded imperceptibly and said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm my employer's housekeeper. This time we're going to hunt a soul beast that's about two thousand years old. However...any soul master above level 30 can sign up to participate."

After the butler finished speaking, the discussion at the door started again.

"What? A two thousand year old soul beast? If you can join at level 30, then isn't that just asking for death?"

"They said anyone above level 30 can participate. They don't insist you go at level 30. Why are you so anxious?"

"All of you go back. I'm level 42, and I can kill that soul beast by myself!"

"Humph! You dare to speak so arrogantly at a mere level 42?"

A strong man in the crowd snorted coldly and activated his martial spirit. A sickle-shaped martial spirit appeared in his hand.
The four soul rings below him, white, yellow, yellow and purple, lit up at the same time. Judging from the fluctuation of his soul power, he must be a high-level soul master of at least level 45.

"You... one more person means more security. The notice says that several spirit masters are needed. You can't do it all by yourself."

The man who had vowed that he could kill the whole thing by himself said this angrily. He looked unhappy after being slapped in the face in public.

"quiet!"

The steward roared impatiently, and when he saw the discussion subsided, he said:

"The more soul masters we need this time, the better. Anyone above level 30 can come and sign up with me."

After the butler finished speaking, he symbolically took out a pen and paper to prepare to take notes.

When the people in the field heard this, the soul masters of lower levels had their eyes shining and rushed to sign up.

However, some people hesitated and expressed doubts.

"Anyone above level 30 is fine. We have at least 20 to 30 of us here. How will we divide the bounty then?"

"Yeah, how do we divide it?"

"Hmph, how do we divide it? Whoever works the hardest gets the lion's share! You little bastards, even a penny you give me is just errand money at best!"

The soul master who still had his martial soul activated said with disdain.

"..."

Perhaps there was no one in the field with a higher soul power level than him, but in the face of his ridicule, everyone fell silent and no one paid any attention to him.

"Hey? Isn't this the bounty I saw earlier? Traveler, didn't you say you wouldn't do it?"

When Paimon heard others talking about the bounty, he immediately understood and said with disdain.

"..."

Sora's fingers moved slightly, quietly pointing at the young figure in the field, and whispered:
"The commission I'm talking about isn't this one, it's that person..."

"oh oh."

Upon hearing this, Paimon touched his chin with his little hand as if in deep thought.

This person was dressed in rags, had a nervous expression, and was pale. Even his hands were subconsciously clenched...

Hmm~ Confirmed! Looks like someone has a commission!
But why don't travelers just go and ask...

The housekeeper at the door listened to the noise below, but didn't care about it. He picked up a pen and asked the people in front of the line.

"What is your name?"

"Zhang Dali." "Release your martial spirit. Let me see your spirit power level."

The honest man named Zhang Dali scratched his head embarrassedly and immediately activated his martial spirit.

A nail-shaped martial spirit appeared in his hand, and three white, yellow, and yellow spirit rings lit up below him.

"Level 32... barely acceptable. Stand aside and leave once you've recruited enough."

The butler waved his hand, signaling him to pass.

"Yes!"

Zhang Dali originally thought that he could not take on this task with his soul power level, but who knew that this employer would not mind.
He stood aside happily. After completing this mission, even if the errand fee was only a few soul coins, it would be enough to cover his expenses for a while.

"Next……"

"Level 39? Not bad, just stand aside and wait."

"Next……"

Almost everyone who came here was above level 30, and the butler accepted everyone and registered their names, then asked them to wait on the side.

"name……"

Finally it was the boy's turn. Sora stood at the end of the line and listened carefully.

"Xu Lai."

"Activate your martial spirit and let me see."

Xu Lai nodded, and a martial spirit in the shape of a long sword appeared in his hand, and two yellow and yellow soul rings under his body lit up.

"Wow~ There really are people who aren't afraid of death."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this idiot has a good martial soul and a pretty good spirit ring, but he's not even level 30 yet, and he wants to steal my job?"

"Where did you come from, little brat? With your strength, just go back home."

As Xu Lai's soul ring lit up, mocking voices were heard all around.

However, he didn't seem to care. Instead, he stared at the butler and said:
"Although I'm only level 29, my martial spirit is very powerful."

After saying this, he took up the martial spirit sword in his hand, and a destructive force brewed from his body. The people around him unconsciously took half a step back.

Even the Soul Master at level 46, who currently had the highest soul power level, squinted his eyes and looked at him.

"Hmm~ Pretty good strength. Okay, I'll make an exception and take you in. Just wait on the side."

The butler thought about it for a while, and finally drew a check mark behind Xu Lai's name on the paper, and put a dot on it.

Kong looked at Xu Lai who still had a stern face after passing through, standing silently in the crowd, ignoring the sarcastic looks cast at him.

After some thought, Kong decided to follow him and find a suitable time to ask about the situation.

It just so happens that Paimeng doesn't want to make money, so he can grasp both ends.
But there are only four or five people ahead of me right now. What should I say when I sign up later?

Sora turned to look at Paimon, an idea came to his mind, and he whispered:

"Paimon, do you want to make money?"

"Huh? I want to!"

Paimon immediately became excited when he heard this.

"Then listen to me, in a moment..."

"Yeah! As long as you buy me something delicious when you come back, I'll do whatever you say!"

"The one behind, do you want to sign up?"

As the two of them were whispering, the people ahead had already been recruited, and the steward and the twenty or so people who had passed all turned their eyes to Sora and Paimon.
