Chapter 32: Patrol
When Xiao Shi arrived at the gathering place, there were already many night patrollers gathered there.
However, most of these night patrollers were old people from the past. There were much fewer newcomers than the last time they had gathered. Many of them had died in the previous mission.
Wang Changhuan and Yang Zhen were also in the crowd. When the two of them saw Xiao Shi, they smiled and nodded at him. Their previous mission was to guard the prison. It was the easiest and safest mission.
The narrow-eyed captain of Team D was still the last to arrive. He looked around at everyone with a smile on his face. After saying a few simple words, he took out his token and began to assign tasks to everyone.
Compared to last time, Xiao Shi and the others were not as nervous. After all, even if they were assigned a more difficult mission this time, they could still exchange with the other night patrollers. He no longer had to brace himself to carry out missions that he could not complete.
Xiao Shi secretly decided.
If he received a Level 2 or Level 1 mission this time, he would definitely have to exchange with the other night patrollers. Although he had completed the mission safely last time, he did not want to take such a risk again.
He had no choice but to carry out the previous mission. With his steady personality, he would definitely not carry out such a difficult mission. Before he had enough strength, he did not want to face martial artists stronger than him.
He only wanted to cultivate to the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level as soon as possible and then destroy the evil forces around him to strengthen himself.
At that time, he would have enough ability to protect himself.
Soon, Xiao Shi immediately checked his mission through his identity token as the captain completed the distribution.
Mission: Patrol Golden Cloud City
Mission Difficulty: Level 5
Mission Time Limit: 10 days
...
Xiao Shi heaved a sigh of relief.
In terms of danger, patrolling the Golden Cloud City was second only to guarding the prison. It just so happened that he wanted to quietly cultivate in the city at this stage. The only shortcoming was that there were relatively fewer contribution points.
The contribution points for this mission were calculated according to the daily inspection. If nothing happened, he could obtain 30 contribution points in a day. If he encountered any situation during his duty period, every time he handled something, he would obtain different degrees of additional contribution points according to the situation.
For example, when patrolling the city, if he encountered a savage person who did not follow the rules and killed civilians indiscriminately in the city, as long as he killed or captured him, he could obtain additional contribution points.
Usually, the more difficult the matter was, the more contribution points one would obtain after handling it.
This made Xiao Shi realize something. If he wanted to obtain more contribution points during the patrol, he would have to see if anyone was causing trouble in the city. If the city was calm and no one caused trouble, he could only obtain 30 contribution points every day.
However, if someone kept causing trouble, he would be able to obtain more contribution points.
That day, Xiao Shi began to patrol the city after receiving the mission.
There were more than 100 night patrollers carrying out this mission. After all, Golden Cloud City was huge and needed more manpower.
Xiao Shi was mainly responsible for patrolling the eastern district of Golden Cloud City today. He looked at the talisman he had just received. Usually, in addition to maintaining law and order in the city, they were also responsible for expelling some people who had not paid the residency fee.
The Golden Cloud City was the main city controlled by the Red Tiger Sect. As long as one entered the Golden Cloud City, it was equivalent to receiving the protection of the Red Tiger Sect.
However, the Red Tiger Sect was not a good organization. They would not protect everyone for free.
Therefore, every resident who entered Golden Cloud City and lived here had to pay a certain living fee every day.
Under normal circumstances, the fee for a day was five Wu coins. It could also be paid with equivalent items. If there was no renewal fee when the time was up, they would have to be expelled from the Golden Cloud City.
As for the way to check everyone's residence time, one had to paste the talisman paper on their body.
Xiao Shi immediately tried to stick the talisman to his chest.
A light flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, Xiao Shi realized that green lines that looked like health bars had appeared on the heads of the residents he saw.
Every person who entered the Golden Cloud City to pay the fee would obtain a special seed. The seed would gradually disappear as time passed. The green line that Xiao Shi saw now was the time the seed existed.
When the green line was shorter, it meant that there was less time left. If he saw people without green lines above their heads, it meant that their residence time was up. If they did not renew the payment, they would have to be driven out of the Golden Cloud City.
For every person he successfully chased away, he would receive an additional five contribution points.
After understanding this, Xiao Shi kept paying attention to the green lines on everyone's heads while he was patrolling.
Until evening.
He finally saw a person without a green line above his head. After expelling him from Golden Cloud City, Xiao Shi obtained an additional five contribution points. Although the gains were not great, it was easy and there was no danger.
In Golden Cloud City, no one dared to disobey the night patrollers. Even the bounty hunters of the Senluo Organization would resort to assassination here. They would not directly appear in Gold Cloud City and attack the night patroller.
Just like that, he patrolled Golden Cloud City for two days.
Golden Cloud City was calm. Other than expelling those who had reached their residence time every day, nothing special happened. These people who came to Golden Cloud City all knew the rules of Golden Cloud City. So they did not dare to mess around here.
As a result, the contribution points that Xiao Shi gained from his patrols over the past two days were not much.
Until the afternoon of the third day.
Xiao Shi, who was patrolling as usual, suddenly heard a loud bang. Not far away, a battle was taking place. One of them looked terrified and fled in a sorry state. Behind him, another person chased after him with killing intent.
When the fleeing person saw Xiao Shi in front of him, he quickly ran towards Xiao Shi and shouted for help.
The person chasing after him looked anxious and moved even faster.
"Stop!" Xiao Shi shouted.
In Golden Cloud City, killing was prohibited. This was a rule set by the Red Tiger Sect. As long as they entered the Golden Cloud City, they had to abide by it and not violate it. With a flash, he appeared between the two of them and raised his hand to stop the pursuers.
However, the person chasing after him had already been blinded by hatred. After seeing Xiao Shi stop him, he directly waved the long saber in his hand and slashed at Xiao Shi, letting out a low roar.
"Get lost!"
"You dare to attack me?" Xiao Shi raised his eyebrows.
This person had clearly lost his mind. If he attacked the night patroller in Gold Cloud City, he would definitely die.
A fist shadow flashed in front of the pursuer as fast as lightning. Before the long saber in his hand landed, it reached his chest first.
Puff!
It instantly pierced through his chest.
