F*ck, this was not good. Why would a level 48 Mercenary appear here?

Xiao Yu screamed to himself. Of course, it was not to say that a level 48 player was invincible. In this game, level did not represent everything, so even when facing a level 48 player, as long as there were enough people with good teamwork, she could still be killed. However, don’t forget that there were other reinforcements like guardians, Adventurers, the Ancient Tree of War, and so on. Originally, Xiao Yu’s advantage was not that great; therefore, this Bandit would definitely be a key character that could influence the result of the battle.

The appearance of Shadow Chaser instantly attracted the attention of many people, especially the Mercenaries that were drinking. They had all stood up one after the other and paid their respects to Shadow Chaser. It was obvious they were NPCs.

Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser seemed to be used to such a situation, so she casually waved her hand and found a spot to sit down. She crossed her legs and placed them on the table. Then, with a snap of her finger, she asked for a special set meal and thanked the waiter.

She casually took out a book from her pocket and started reading it. It seemed like she was killing time.

Xiao Yu did not leave, because something had to be done. No matter who this Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser was, she was probably an obstacle that he would have to pass using money, so rather than leaving, it would be better to ascertain the circumstances.

At this point, Xiao Yu put on the standard NPC expression and walked to the counter in the Tavern in a relaxed manner. He said to the coquettish Night Elf owner, “Morning, Ruth. I’ll have the same thing, a glass of wine.”

He looked as if he was a regular that was used to ordering, so the owner did not notice anything strange and gave a glass of wine to him before taking the few silver coins passed to her.

Xiao Yu took his wine and casually sat down on a table behind the female Mercenary.

As he drank the wine, he secretly observed Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser. From her name, it was obvious that she had purposely imitated the characteristics of the Night Elves’ name, thus it would be difficult for normal people to differentiate if she was a player or NPC. However, Xiao Yu was certain that she was a player, or else she would have definitely killed him at the forest that day and not given him a mark to let him return to the camp. Afterwards, she followed Xiao Yu back and slaughtered the whole camp. That was surely the style of a player.

Also, since she was able to reach level 48, it meant that she was quite skilled. That’s because although the current maximum level in Firmament was level 60, the game company seemed to not want the players to reach the maximum level at all, because after level 40, the EXP needed was frighteningly high. Currently, the number of players at the maximum level could be counted on one hand, and basically all players above level 40 were experts, not to mention the fact that leveling up in Mercenary Mode was much harder.

Was it possible that she was a professional gamer? However, that didn’t seem right. Wouldn’t professional gamers play Adventurer Mode or Monster Mode normally? The advantage of Adventurer Mode was that one could have a stable income. As long as one trained to the maximum level, obtained above average equipment, and had good technique, it was basically no problem to make ends meet. A few thousand dollars or even up to $10,000 per month was possible. Although the amount could not be compared to those of high-income, it was higher than those moving bricks and receiving a fixed income.

Meanwhile, Monster Mode could be said to fluctuate radically, but the amount of money earned was actually not much as it was difficult to advance one’s Mode. However, as long as one was good at it, then one could earn big bucks most of the time—tens of thousands dollars per month was not impossible. Of course, the investment in it would also be quite high because reviving just once in the later stages might cost tens of thousands of dollars.

However, this woman had picked Mercenary Mode, thus it would not make sense if she was a professional player. Xiao Yu had tried the Mercenary Mode before for a short time and he felt that it was impossible to earn money in that Mode.

Just when he was puzzled, he saw a few Adventurers enter the Tavern.

“Here it is. If you want to hire Mercenaries, just come here.” The person leading was a level 13 Knight player. He was talking to the level 10 Warlock beside him.

“Is it really possible to bring Mercenaries to do missions? The job-changing mission description said that it must be done alone.”

“Hey, Mercenaries are not counted, they are like Summoned Beasts. You just use money to hire them temporarily, so there’s no need to worry. I also found Mercenaries to help me do the Power of Light job-changing mission when I was level 10.”

So this was how! After hearing the conversation of the two Adventurers beside him, Xiao Yu instantly understood. Who said that Mercenary Mode was useless? Although their battle strength was weaker than that of Bosses or even normal Adventurers, the advantage of Mercenary Mode was that they were not counted when doing missions. Thus, it would be reasonable for them to collect a fee for helping with job-changing missions, and Xiao Yu had already thought of many missions where Mercenaries could earn money, such as helping others level up, bringing people to clear dungeons, and so on…

“I think she’s quite good,” said that Warlock as he pointed to Shadow Chaser, who was drinking tea.

Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser suddenly turned around after hearing his voice and revealed a charming smile. “Hehe, you’ve found the right one. I’m not bragging, but I’m definitely the strongest Mercenary in the Tavern. Not to brag, but even if all the other Mercenaries joined hands, they would not be my opponent. So you want to do a job-changing mission, right? Don’t worry, the Warlock’s job-changing mission is not difficult. I’ve already done it more than just a few times, so as long as you pay me, I can totally help you settle it from the start to the end. You would just need to stand at the side and watch me do all the work.”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. “Bullsh*t, you’re already level 48, so isn’t it just like playing when fighting other Mercenaries that are around level 10?”

“Really? Eh, are you a player?” That Warlock seemed to be a little surprised. When he saw that she was quite pretty, he thought that she was a normal NPC since there were basically no ugly female NPCs in the Elf race. However, once he discovered that she was a female player, it instantly felt awkward for him.

“Why, is that strange?” asked Moon Scar•Shadow Chaser.

“It’s n-nothing.” The Warlock shook his head hurriedly. “Then, what’s the fee for hiring you?” After asking, his heart thumped from nervousness as it was quite good to be able to hire a beauty bodyguard.

The Warlock was quite eager to know. “Then how much is it to hire you?”

“Quite cheap, 200 per hour.”

“200 bronze coins?” asked the Warlock in a tone of disbelief.

Shadow Chaser shook her head.

The Knight beside him hit the Warlock’s head. “Are you dumb? There’s no Mercenary’s fee that is only 200 bronze coins. It’s 200 silver coins, of course.”

Who knew that the female Elite would shake her head again.

“F*ck, you can’t mean 200 gold coins, right? That’s a little expensive,” said the Knight in shock.

In the Firmament world, the coins in the game were quite difficult to obtain, so one could get a game point card for 200 gold coins—though basically nobody used point cards to play games anymore.

“It’s $200.”
