The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

But he said nothing, because he knew he couldn't stop the kid.

Awu went to the first floor, asked the innkeeper for a very ordinary meal, ate it quickly, then got up and left the inn.

She still had things to do.

After crossing three streets, Awu arrived near the bustling central street.

This is the most prosperous area in Baishi Town. Every store opened here is very expensive. Even the leasing price is extremely high. If you want to buy it, you may have to empty 70% of the savings of an average medium-sized adventure group.

Awu stopped in front of a store with a cat logo.

She straightened her clothes and walked in.

"Sister Bethie~"

Ah Wu called out to the boss who was reading a book behind the counter.

"Awu is here, go change your clothes, there shouldn't be many customers today."

The cute cat Bestie looked up when she heard Awu's voice. Seeing that it was Awu, she signaled to Awu that he could start today's work.

Yes, in addition to occasionally going to the Clan Forest to complete missions, Awu also works in many shops in Baishi Town.

However, because her working hours are very short, there are not many places where she can work.

Last week, when she passed by here, she saw that the owner of the shop was a cat lover. She felt familiar with him, so she interviewed him with a try-it attitude, and she was actually accepted.

Awu's job is relatively easy. Basically, he works as a clerk and introduces the store's merchandise to customers.

Because Bestie's store closes late, she needs a clerk for the night shift. Coincidentally, Awu has time during this period and his ability is not bad, so he was accepted by Bestie.

But the main reason is that the store is short of staff.

There was no shortage of them before, after all, the shop was small and only one owner was enough.

But as the store expands and adds branches, more manpower is needed.

The most that Olivia's subordinates can do is to help keep the place under control. It is impossible to ask them to work as shop assistants because these people are full-time adventurers, that is, professionals who make a living by adventuring.

The owners of restaurants, taverns, shops and other stores in the White Tower area are basically retired adventurers or members sent by major chambers of commerce. The shop assistants are either teammates of retired adventurers or members sent by major chambers of commerce.

Of course, there are also some young adventurers who have spent all their money and are not strong enough, so they can only work in the store temporarily.

There are even part-time adventurers who go out adventuring occasionally and work in the store for a long time.

Awu doesn't care much about these things, she just simply needs more money.

After changing into shop assistant's clothes, Awu started his work in the store.

Just as Bestie said, there were very few customers today. It seemed that because of what happened before, there were fewer adventurers heading to the White Tower recently, so there were also fewer customers buying supplies and equipment.

It was not until twelve o'clock in the evening that Awu changed out of the clerk's clothes, put on his own clothes and left the store at Bestie's reminder.

Even at this late hour, there were still many adventurers on the streets.

The street lights provide bright light, dispelling the darkness of the night.

Awu looked at the street lamp. It was said that this was invented by the alchemist of the Adventurer's Guild. The light inside was produced by consuming magic crystals. It seemed to be very durable. The magic crystal only needed to be replaced once a year, and only the lowest quality magic crystal was needed.

After staring at the street light for a while, Awu walked towards the hotel where he was staying.

Back at the inn, the innkeeper was not at all surprised that Awu came back at this time.

Awu said hello to the innkeeper and went upstairs.

Gently pushing open the door of the room, Awu found that Kate was still sleeping, but he had already drunk the potion on the table.

Awu nodded with satisfaction, sat on the soft chair beside the bed, closed his eyes and took a nap.

After a hard day's work, she was exhausted.

Soon, Awu fell asleep.

After a while, Kate opened her eyes.

He first glanced around, and after seeing Awu, his originally vigilant heart calmed down again.

At Kate's age, she is not only listless but also very sleepy.

That's why Kate was sleeping all the time.

"Hey..."

Kate's tiny sigh quickly faded into the room.

Chapter 254 Encounter

The next day, Awu woke up very early.

She washed up, yawning, and quickly ate her breakfast.

"You must eat your meal well. You are not allowed to skip it."

While instructing his adoptive father Kate, Awu tidied things up for Kate and then hurriedly left the hotel.

He almost squeezed into the hall of the Adventurer's Guild and snatched the tasks related to the Clan Forest from many formal-level and Hematite-level adventurers. Awu went straight to the Clan Forest with the task list in his hand.

Awu was almost familiar with the Clan Forest.

From the time when Awu was first brought here by his adoptive father Kate at the age of twelve to now, six years have passed since then, allowing Awu to transform from a naive novice adventurer into a slick veteran adventurer.

As for the knowledge about the Great Forest of Clan, apart from those adventurers who have stayed in White Stone Town for decades, she may be the one who knows it best.

After finding the mission location with ease, Awu began the collection mission.

This is also the most common task in the Clan Forest.

After all, the Clan Forest is a huge natural treasure trove. Those who are familiar with it can obtain many resources from it, while those who are not familiar with it can only return empty-handed.

Squatting on the ground and carefully digging herbs, Awu looked very serious.

The price of the herb varies depending on whether it is complete or not. The more complete the herb is, the higher the price. Especially for rare herbs, the price difference between a complete and a damaged one is huge.

One, two, three...

Awu quickly collected the herbs needed for the first task.

But she did not stop, but continued to dig up several nearby herbs.

Even if there is no quest, the Adventurer's Guild will purchase these herbs, but the price will be lower.

It is normal for veteran adventurers to take on several quests at the same time.

Although Awu was only at the Red Iron Rank, he had been an adventurer for six years, so naturally he took on five missions at the same time.

These missions all have one thing in common: they are relatively safe and require little combat.

However, they are all tasks that require searching and collecting, which are quite time-consuming.

If an adventurer who is not familiar with the Clan Forest comes, he will probably have to spend a lot of time searching, and it would not be surprising that the time to complete the task will double.

In this case, the value of the task will become very low, which is what is called not cost-effective.

This is why there are rarely high-level adventurers coming to take on these low-level quests.

As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. A large number of low-level adventurers in the White Tower area have almost reached the extreme in their exploration of the Clan Forest and the Cangqing Plains on the first level of the White Tower. Even adventurers above the Gold Rank may not be as familiar with these low-level areas as them.

After all, adventurers above the Gold Rank usually stay above the sixth floor of the White Tower all year round, and are probably unfamiliar with the lower-level areas.

Awu finished the second task quickly and the third task before noon.

Because he was a little hungry, Awu found a relatively clean place, took out the cold food and started eating.

On her back was a large backpack containing the herbs she had picked and the mission materials she had collected.

Although space backpacks are widely known among adventurers, in fact many low-level adventurers cannot afford them at all.

Originally Kate had a space backpack, but it was sold by Awu in order to treat Kate.

Anyway, for the red iron steps, such a weight is not too heavy. It just affects the movement a little, but it is not to the point of being heavy.

"Shasha~~"

The rubbing sound of leaves made Awu alert.

She looked in the direction where the branches were shaking.

Three men came out from the bushes over there.

Awu stood up vigilantly.

"Look, haven't we found it?"

A ferocious smile appeared on the face of the leading adventurer.

"As expected of a hunter, the boss is really good at finding people."

The burly man standing beside him was flattering the boss.

"Little girl, you should have quite a bit of money in your hand, right? Hand it over and I can let you go."

The eldest of the three raised his hand holding the sword.

The last adventurer stared at Awu sinisterly, the dagger in his hand kept turning, as if he was looking for a better place to strike.

"I don't have any money now, this is all I have."

Awu said as he put his big backpack on the ground.

It's obvious that these three people are not good people.

Of course there are adventurers who rob others.

However, generally no adventurer would do this, because once discovered by the Adventurer's Guild, their adventurer career would be completely over, and they would also be caught, tried and executed by the Adventurer's Guild.

But in fact, judging from the number of adventurers who go missing every year, there are actually quite a few adventurers who like to target adventurers as prey.

Awu didn't quite understand. What was there for a guy like him to steal?

Each of the three adventurers in front of her was as strong as her, and the leader among them was even slightly stronger than her.

With such strength, it would be a complete waste of time and energy to snatch a Red Iron Rank from her.

"Do you think we'll believe it?"

Adventurers rarely leave money in an inn or with injured teammates because no one knows whether the money will be stolen.

The money in the hotel disappeared, which was not surprising for those dilapidated hotels. After all, some hotels on the edge of the White Tower area didn’t even have windows. What could such a hotel protect?

"Don't think I don't know what you guys think."

The vicious boss took a step forward.

"Hand over the money you have hidden on you."

"I was seriously injured before, and I used all my money to buy healing potions."

Awu's body gradually tensed up, ready to escape at any time.

Although this place is close to the middle area of the Clan Forest, it is actually relatively remote. If her speed is fast enough and she can make use of the terrain and environment in the forest, she should be able to run to the outer area where there are more people.

In this way, these guys will not dare to act rashly.

"I know, but if you can keep buying healing potions, you must have a lot of money, right?"

The boss' tone was extremely certain, as if he was certain of his guess.

It turned out that he saw the healing potion I bought before!

Awu was secretly annoyed that she was still a little careless.

But the main reason was that she didn't expect that someone would actually target her, a penniless Red Iron-rank adventurer.

"I really don't have any money."

Awu made his final struggle.

She doesn't want to die here.

As for what the boss said before, about letting her go before handing her over, she didn't believe a word of it.

Most of those lost adventurers must have heard similar words at the end of their lives.

"It seems that you value money more than your life."

The vicious boss showed a cruel smile.
