Chapter 402 General Affairs Hall, Formation Mission! [Subscribe Please]
The next day.
Wei Hong disguised himself as usual before going to the General Affairs Hall.
He didn't want his identity as a formation master to be exposed. Once people knew that he was not only a talisman master, but also an extremely rare formation master, it would definitely attract all kinds of attention and jealousy, which was not in line with Wei Hong's principle of keeping a low profile.
This time he disguised himself as a middle-aged monk, with a slightly burly figure, a square face, and thick beards on both sides of his cheeks, which looked a bit majestic.
At the same time, he named himself Guan Yu this time, which seemed both casual and simple.
After arriving at the General Affairs Hall, Wei Hong went straight to the huge jade disk that displayed the tasks.
The jade disk kept refreshing rows of tasks:
For example, hiring people to mine.
For example, asking people to repair the formation.
For example, asking people to draw talismans for him.
And so on.
All kinds of tasks, both numerous and complicated.
Wei Hong completely ignored the others and focused only on the tasks related to the formation.
Soon, he locked on the target he wanted to find.
Then he walked directly to the jade table next to him and said directly: "Fellow Daoist, I want to accept the task No. Bing307 and No. Bing225, please register."
If you want to accept tasks in the General Affairs Hall, you must first register and then get the token.
In many cases, the General Affairs Hall only recognizes tokens and not people, so keeping the task tokens safe is the most important thing.
The young man sitting behind the jade table responded without raising his head: "No. Bing307 and No. Bing225, right? Wait, I'll find them."
After a while, the young man who was originally a little indifferent looked up at Wei Hong with a little surprise: "What is your name, fellow Daoist, are you a formation master?"
He just checked the two tasks that Wei Hong asked to accept, both of which were related to formations.
Task No. Bing307 requires the arrangement of a first-level inferior water mist formation, and the time limit is to complete it within two days.
Task No. Bing225 requires the repair of a first-level inferior water mist formation, and the time limit is to complete it within one day.
In addition, the rewards for these two tasks are 20 and 15 spirit stones respectively.
These two tasks are not only related to formations, but also require proficiency in water mist formations.
It just so happens that this kind of formation task is often posted in the General Affairs Hall for ten days or half a month without anyone taking it up, so the young man in charge of registration seemed a little surprised.
Wei Hong nodded lightly: "I am Guan Yu, indeed a formation master!"
As soon as this was said, the young man's attitude immediately improved a lot: "Haha, it turns out to be Guan Daoyou, Guan Daoyou, please don't blame me, it's like this, all tasks related to formations are issued by our stewards, Daoyou, please follow me."
Obviously, the identity of a formation master seems to be valued no matter where it is.
"Oh? Then Daoyou, lead the way."
Wei Hong was slightly surprised, but didn't say anything.
He didn't expect that tasks related to formations must be issued by the steward.
Following the young man, Wei Hong soon came to the back of the General Affairs Hall.
They stopped at the door of a slightly smaller side hall at the back. The young man turned to Wei Hong and said, "Fellow Daoist Guan, please wait a moment. Let me go in and report to our steward."
"Okay!"
Wei Hong just nodded lightly and stood still.
Seeing this, the young man went straight into the side hall and came out again after a while.
"Fellow Daoist Guan, please come in. Our steward is inside!"
The young man greeted Wei Hong.
Wei Hong nodded and then walked into the side hall.
In the hall of the side hall, a silver-haired old man was sitting on a recliner, holding an unknown book and reading it with relish, as if he didn't notice Wei Hong and the others coming in.
"Master steward, Fellow Daoist Guan is here. He wants to take over the tasks of Bing 307 and Bing 225."
Coming to the silver-haired old man, the young man reported softly.
"Oh?"
The silver-haired old man looked up at Wei Hong with a frown: "Fellow Daoist Guan wants to take the formation mission? I wonder if you are proficient in the water mist formation?"
Wei Hong also frowned. He didn't expect that he would be questioned when he met the steward of the General Affairs Hall for the first time.
But he didn't show any strangeness, but replied lightly: "Hello, senior. I do want to take two formation missions. As for the water mist formation, I dare not say how proficient I am, but I can complete the mission."
Although I don't know why the steward of the General Affairs Hall questioned me, Wei Hong still responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The meaning is very simple. Let's not talk about proficiency or not. Just the fact that I can guarantee to complete the mission is enough.
The silver-haired old man naturally understood what Wei Hong meant. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? You are quite confident."
"You can accept the task, but before accepting the task, I have to declare in advance that if the task is not completed or something goes wrong, you will have to pay compensation according to the price. Can you accept this?"
First courtesy, then force!
Obviously, this is the method used by the manager of the General Affairs Hall. I don't know if he is looking at the person.
He seemed to be a little unconvinced about Wei Hong's identity as a formation master, so he had many doubts in his words.
Moreover, without knowing Wei Hong's identity, he directly questioned Wei Hong's ability.
Wei Hong frowned slightly, but still nodded and said, "Okay, please issue the task, senior!"
The other party was the manager of the General Affairs Hall. He would need permission from him to accept any missions in the future. Therefore, Wei Hong could not show any displeasure to him and could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, as long as you can accept it!"
The silver-haired old man smiled with some unknown meaning: "Since you already know, it's easy to say, missions C307 and C225, right?"
"Here, these are the tokens for the two missions, take them first!"
The silver-haired old man handed over two tokens, and after seeing Wei Hong take them, he continued: "One is a repair mission, and the other is a layout mission. A total of eight formation flags are required. The formation flags are here, take them!"
"Thank you, senior!"
Wei Hong took the eight formation flags handed over by the silver-haired old man, looked at them with a little curiosity, and put them in his arms.
He knew that formation flags were needed to set up the formation, but this was the first time he saw formation flags today, so he was inevitably a little curious, but he didn't mean to study them.
However, it was this slightly curious look that made the silver-haired old man frown.
Then, the silver-haired old man reminded him calmly: "Let Guan Daoyou know that although the water mist flag is not very valuable, it is also the property of Qingyun Sect! If you fail to set up the formation due to your poor skills, you will have to pay for the flag."
"Haha, don't worry, senior, I naturally know this, and I will never joke about my reputation!"
Wei Hong replied neither softly nor hard, then turned and left.
