Chapter 36: Cheap Master

"You can find someone else, bye." Zhang Yang refused and turned to leave.
"No, wait..." The blonde girl hurriedly stopped Zhang Yang, pondered for a moment, and showed a painful expression. She said, "How about this, I'll split... 30% with you... that's nearly a thousand spirit coins. As a newcomer here, you also have a chance to worship a master for free. I can be your master and guide you for free. Isn't that acceptable? If I didn't have something urgent to attend to and couldn't wait too long, such a good opportunity wouldn't have fallen to you..."
The painful expression on the girl's face seemed to indicate that she had made a great concession.
"Haha, they've already started calculating the five hundred spirit coins for my apprentice task. Do they really take me for a three-year-old child?" Zhang Yang sneered.
"Stupid, if you publish this task, you'll definitely attract all sorts of unreliable people. Can you trust their abilities? You're young but quite cautious. Alright, I'll make an exception and give you a lesson, consider it your first class," the golden-haired girl said, crossing her arms and speaking in an old-fashioned manner.
"The simplest and most profitable task here is the beginner master task. Just teach a beginner and you can get five hundred spirit coins with no risk. Who wouldn't want that? So many bounty hunters who couldn't make it started targeting beginners. Some of them might be kind enough to trick you into giving them five hundred spirit coins, pretending to be your master and guiding you for a few days, only to give you some worthless spiritual techniques and tools. Others, like the person earlier, would capture you first, force you to reveal the location of the outside world, and then control your body. At that point, they can make you do whatever they want." the girl said.
Zhang Yang's heart suddenly chilled when he heard these words. If he were really caught, he would probably become someone else's tool for the rest of his life, and it would be difficult to even think of death.
"The quality of bounty hunters nowadays is not as good as before. In the past, the mentors for beginners were at least high-level bounty hunters of level four or five. But now, some level two or three bounty hunters, who have just practiced a little bit of spiritual arts, dare to claim themselves as experts and guide others randomly. It's really misleading. The 5,000 spiritual coin mission just now actually had restrictions, only bounty hunters of level five or above can take it. I dare say, in this hall, besides me, you won't find a second level five bounty hunter." When she said this, the golden-haired girl proudly pushed out her chest, as if being a level five bounty hunter was a very high rank.
“那你怎么不去接他的任务啊，五千灵币肯定比抓捕那几人赚的多。”张扬不为所动，继续问道。
“榆木脑袋，我都说了遇到紧急的事情不能耽搁太久，你咋就是不开窍呢。想当我徒弟的多了去了，我还不收呢。”少女恨铁不成钢说道，说完在屏幕上一阵操作，指着屏幕上蹦出来的页面，继续说道：“喏，看到了吧，这是我的五级猎人证明，这回相信了吧。拜师后系统上都有记录的，为了我自己的信誉，也不可能坑害你，而且我都说要免费当你师傅，你那五百赏金我自然会返还给你的。”
After listening to the girl's words, Zhang Yang looked closely at the hunter's license on the screen. It read: Name: Yihan, Gender: Female, Level: Level 5...
Looking at it, it doesn't seem fake," Zhang Yang pondered, rubbing his chin.
Currently, what he lacks the most is a experienced master to guide him.
As the saying goes, the master leads the way, but the practice is up to the individual. "Leading the way" refers to providing guidance and direction.
If there are no experienced people to guide you in the right direction, it may take a considerable amount of time and effort for you to find the most suitable path through trial and error. Some detours are unnecessary and time is precious, so focusing your energy on the most worthwhile endeavors is the right way to go.
If I agreed to her conditions, not only would I have a master with a seemingly high level, but I would also inexplicably earn over a thousand spirit coins. It seems like a really good deal.
Although I always feel like she has another motive and it's definitely not as simple as she makes it out to be to catch someone, it doesn't seem like a bad idea either. As they say, fortune favors the brave, and if I don't take the risk, I probably won't be able to improve my strength much in this lifetime through other conventional means.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I promise you, but I have to become a disciple first before taking action."
"Hmph, you're getting off easy, turn around and look over here. Register yourself here, so we don't have to issue a formal discipleship task," Yi Han said as she clicked on another page on the self-service machine.
Zhang Yang turned to the self-service machine, which immediately recognized his information. After confirming that the information was correct, Zhang Yang quickly clicked the confirmation button.
Seeing this, Yi Han didn't say anything else. After a series of operations, she transferred the 500 Ling Coins to Zhang Yang.
After finishing his apprenticeship, Zhang Yang took a glance at his account balance and felt delighted. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Master, how are we going to catch them?"
"You just didn't want to call me your master a moment ago, and now you're asking me so quickly?" Irritated by Zhang Yang's quick change of attitude, Yi Han rolled her eyes and said. "
"Hehe, Master, you're a magnanimous person. Forgive this young one's ignorance." Zhang Yang chuckled and said.
"Usually, they will take people out of the city, as there is an enforcement team inside the city. To maintain the stability of the city, the enforcement team won't allow killings to happen freely. I set up an ambush halfway, waiting for them to take the bait."
Yihan said, taking out a button-sized object from somewhere and handing it to Zhangyang, saying, "You keep this with you, and I can track and contact you anytime. If it vibrates once, it means everything is normal. If it vibrates twice, it means there's a change in the situation, and you should find an excuse to run away quickly. If it keeps vibrating, just run away as fast as you can. I'm afraid the fight might endanger you."
After discussing again, the two people were completely sure and finally started to take action.
Zhang Yang pretended to go around in a big circle and found the enchanting woman he had just approached at the other end of the hall. After expressing his intention, the enchanting woman immediately smiled and said, "So you finally came to your senses, huh?"
"Yes, sis, I'm new here and there's nobody to guide me. I really can't do much. What specific task are you guys doing? Take me along, alright?" Zhang Yang scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Okay, it's actually quite simple. We need four people to transport a batch of goods to a factory in the suburbs. The company requires someone to accompany the goods, even for short distances, but we've never encountered any danger in all the previous deliveries. I dare not violate the rules that are clearly stated, but you newcomers are lucky, you'll get fifty spirit coins each."
"Great! When are we leaving?" Zhang Yang asked eagerly with an innocent expression.
"No time to waste, we're leaving now."
The seductive woman signaled to two other people, one was a middle-aged man and the other was a seemingly frail young girl.
When the middle-aged man and Zhang Yang met, both of them were stunned. It turned out to be the guy who kicked Zhang Yang's butt in the temple.
The enchanting woman introduced herself, and immediately the two of them were like long-lost friends, with big smiles on their faces, leaning on each other's shoulders, and telling each other their faults in the temple. Their expressions and postures were as humble as possible, and they even went so far as to kneel down and apologize to each other.
The enchanting woman listened to the two people's account of the situation and laughed even more happily.
There was a young girl carrying a large package behind her, presumably some goods to be delivered.
The four of them no longer hesitated and walked out of the hall while chatting and laughing.
