Chapter 677 Trying too hard
"Keough, you invited me here because you want to ask me something, right?"
"Huh?"
Facing the sudden change of topic, Keogh raised his head in surprise.
Looking at Keogh’s expression after his little idea was exposed, Gordon couldn’t help but smile and said: “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, in fact we are very similar.
At that time, I did not choose to come to Jiangbo Village, but went to Minagard. It was my first time to go to a big city and I was not familiar with the place. In order to seek help, I could only rack my brains.
Using his little savings, he invited the veterans to drink and get information about the monsters.
Voluntarily reduce the share of task rewards, join other people's teams, and accumulate experience.
Bring back special products from the hunting ground, "honor" the owner of the processing shop, get suggestions for weapon enhancement, and so on.
Of course, we also received selfless help and care from many seniors in this process. This is the tradition among hunters.
It is not a shame to seek help from seniors. If you are big, you can straighten your back. One day you will become a "senior".
You don’t want your descendants to shrink back when they ask you for help in the future, right? "
When Keo heard this, most of the embarrassment and tension in his eyes dissipated. He stood up, took a deep breath, and bowed vigorously to Gordon, "Senior Gordon, can you tell me how to become stronger quickly?
Although I have grown somewhat today, I am still not strong enough. I want to respond to the expectations of everyone in the village! "
“Sure enough, that’s the problem.”
Gordon held his chin, "Let me ask you a question first, Keo, if the price of becoming stronger is to leave Jiangbo Village, what choice would you make?"
“Huh?” Keo was stunned.
“There are ways to become stronger. From what Rossi and the others said, you are already a four-star hunter, so this stage is almost the same.
I can introduce you to Longli Academy to learn ‘hunting style’ and ‘hunting skills’. In just one to two years, your strength will definitely reach a higher level. "
"One to two years?" Keo stuttered, then shook his head decisively, "No, Jiangbo Village is now in a stage of rapid development, and I can't live without it.
Everyone in Jiangbo Village takes such good care of me. This is already my home. My purpose of becoming stronger is to abandon Jiangbo Village at the cost, which I cannot accept. "
Sure enough.
Gordon muttered to himself, and then continued to suggest: "Where are Rosie and Edirica? How about discussing it with the village chief and them?"
Keogh smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Gordon, you may not know that I am actually the only resident hunter in Jiangbo Village, and Rosie and Edirika are not.
As my companions, it is true that they have been active in Jiangbo Village more frequently in the past two years, but I am the one who truly benefits from the village, not them. It is impossible for me to force my responsibilities onto them and then walk away. .
Most importantly, an old gentleman recently expressed his willingness to support Jiangbo Village on the condition that he provide a large number of various specialties and materials. This is when the village needs me most, so..."
Gordon glanced at the huge package, "So you get up early and hunt late at night, hunting alone until midnight?"
Keio lowered his head.
Looked at the equipment on Keo's body again, the salon armor, and the Blue Dragon King Dagger Kai (Pan Hand Sword). It may be suitable for a three-star hunter, but it is obviously a bit outdated for a four-star hunter.
In order to complete the task of building the village, do you not even have time to upgrade the equipment?
Gordon didn't know what to say.
This guy obviously belongs to the kind of person who treats others better when others are good to me. Jiangbo Village is led by such a village chief, and all the villagers are warm-hearted.
From the time he first arrived, the villagers took care of the young Keo. As he grew up and matured, Keo naturally worked hard to reciprocate. The villagers who witnessed Keo's efforts became more and more protective of him, and Keo worked harder and harder.
“I said Keogh”
Looking at the young man who couldn't hide his tiredness and his eyes were a little dark, Gordon said helplessly: "I think what you need now is to take a good rest for a few days instead of thinking about how to become stronger quickly."
"Not yet, Mr. Gordon. The specialty matsutake mushrooms in the dense forest are about to go out of season. The quantity of spiritual antlers is not enough. There are still many gaps. If we don't hurry up, the order will be in default." The young man seemed particularly paranoid when it came to completing tasks for the village.
Gordon sighed softly. He patted Keogh on the shoulder and stood up. "At least have a good sleep tonight. I won't continue to disturb you. As for the way to become stronger, let me think about it again."
Keogh pursed his lips and nodded, "I understand, thank you very much, Mr. Gordon."
After sending Gordon out of the house, Keogh looked back at the huge package.
“.Before going to bed, let’s sort it out first.”
Keogh, who went to bed just before dawn, felt vaguely that someone was dragging him out of the warm bed.
But he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes. His heavy eyelids only opened a crack, and then he fell asleep again.
I don’t know how much time passed. Keo opened his eyes again and sat up suddenly. He blurted out, "It’s over! If you don’t go pick the special matsutake mushrooms, you’ll be in trouble!"
Then he was pushed back to the bed by a pair of big hands.
“Huh?”
Rosie's big face came into his line of sight. The blond guy who was always laughing and joking had an extremely serious expression at this time, even a little angry.
“Mr. Gordon has already told us that he collected materials alone until midnight, and that ‘you are the only hunter in the village, and you are the one who benefits from the villagers, not us’, etc. Rosie was very angry.”
Edirika, who was sitting by the bed, said quietly, "Of course, me too."
“I asked you why I haven’t seen you recently. It turns out that you have been sneaking out to collect materials alone? What do you think we are!” Rosie yelled.
Keough's face froze.
It was then that he realized that he was not lying at home. This seemed to be the house of the village doctor?
Hearing the noise inside the house, the doctor and village chief who were waiting outside ran in. It seemed that there were more people blocking the door.
The old doctor from the Dragon Tribe quickly checked him out and nodded to the village chief: "It's nothing serious. I'm just too tired. I need to supplement nutrition and sleep. It's best to rest for a while."
The village chief nodded solemnly.
After the doctor left, the big-nosed village chief looked at Keogh.
“Village chief.”
Keogh whispered: "I know what you want to say, but if we don't hurry up, we will really miss the delivery date."
The village chief said seriously: "That's not important. The village's pursuit of development is true, but it cannot be at the expense of anyone's health.
I will discuss it with the old gentleman. It would be best if he can extend some time. If not, I can only cancel the transaction with apologies. "
“Are you blind? Isn’t there an uncle here?!” Rosie yelled, “I don’t like collection tasks, but that doesn’t mean I can’t collect them!”
"But."
Edirika interrupted him, "I will also help. Aren't there more important things waiting for you to complete than collecting materials for delivery?"
“That’s right! I went all the way to Kokot Village to help you collect intelligence, and even gave you the right to challenge that guy. Why don’t you prepare for me and go to pick mushrooms in the middle of the night?!”
"What are you going to challenge? You have to go to our hometown to collect intelligence. Do you mind telling me?" Gordon pushed open the window from the outside and asked with a smile while lying on the window sill.
