He must be a noble!
At the very least, he has to be the descendant of a wealthy rchant!
This was the shared thought of the receptionist girl and everyone waiting in line to conduct business around them.
That’s over a hundred Gold Coins, it’s simply too extravagant; I’ve never seen so many Gold Coins in my life.
Such a vast amount of wealth would astonish common folks, even the receptionist girl who routinely handles task publication has never seen such abundance.
Gold still holds high value in this world.
A single gold coin the size of half a thumb on Water Blue Star would be worth around a few thousand.
However, in this world, purely in terms of purchasing power, it could amount to about fifty thousand units, aning a hundred would be five million.
Such a huge fortune would absolutely attract even High Order professionals.
Once the receptionist lady had finished registering the first task, Zhang Xiaoman promptly stated his second commission.
"The second task is a bounty-type mission, aid at helping find the Dinsion Rift. The reward is ten thousand Gold Coins, and I will attach detailed information about the Dinsion Rift to the task..."
As he spoke, he took out a note from the inner side of his garnt.
This was pre-written intelligence about the Dinsion Rift, including its shape, size, level of danger, and more.
All of this was ticulously prepared by him; as soon as he found the rift, his return to Water Blue Star would not be far off.
However, just as he finished speaking, the crowd gathered to watch suddenly erupted.
"Wait, did you hear how much he said the task reward was, man? I feel like there might be sothing wrong with my ears. Did he say ten thousand...?"
"Well, maybe... If I heard correctly, he should have said ten thousand..."
"Ha, haha... what kind of joke is this, ten thousand Gold Coins? Does he think we’re fools? I admit he’s a wealthy man, but posting a task with a ten-thousand Gold Coin reward... Haha... I don’t find this joke funny at all."
"..."
The crowd voiced a burst of whispers, clearly Zhang Xiaoman’s ntion of the task reward completely shocked them.
Most of them, after their initial amazent, wore strange expressions, accompanied by a slight teasing look in their eyes.
Although you’re certainly wealthy enough to hire a personal alchemy tutor at a high price, for you to say ten thousand Gold Coins, that’s truly shaless boasting.
Anyone with that kind of wealth would be a noble as affluent as a kingdom.
They couldn’t believe that by simply coming to the rcenary Guild to post a task, they would encounter such a situation.
From behind the counter, the receptionist lady also stared blankly at the person before her, not speaking for quite so ti.
The pen in her hand that recorded task information stopped at the reward amount, hesitant to drop it down.
"Sir, may I ask... how much did you say the task reward was...?"
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at her and replied:
"The reward is ten thousand Gold Coins, though not coins minted by the Adren Kingdom, but they are forged purely of gold. I recall that you accept foreign-minted coins here, correct?"
"Yes, absolutely... As long as they are Gold Coins, our place can certainly conduct appraisal and exchange..."
The receptionist instinctively responded, but quickly realized, the issue isn’t which country’s coins they are."
"Sir, I don’t yet know how to address you, may I ask...?"
"Just call Ji Xing."
"Alright, Mr. Jixing, you’re sure the task reward you ntioned is ten thousand Gold Coins...?"
"That’s right, exactly ten thousand. If you require early paynt of the task reward, I can also deposit the Gold Coins here beforehand."
"Ah! No, no..."
The receptionist hurriedly waved her hand and said:
"Mr. Jixing, you’ve misunderstood, I just... find it hard to believe..."
Zhang Xiaoman chuckled, naturally understanding her discomfort.
"It’s just... Sir, considering the massive amount of your task reward has exceeded my handling capacity, I need to report to my superior, who can arrange for soone higher-ranked to accommodate you. Is that acceptable...?"
The girl spoke while cautiously glancing at him.
Though the task reward proposed was sowhat unrealistic, she still chose to believe it might be true, treating it as a genuine matter.
"No problem, go ahead."
"Alright, please follow to the VIP area for a mont of rest..."
Zhang Xiaoman left the counter under her guidance, the site erupted with heated discussions as soon as they departed.
"Impossible! That’s just a con! What’s even the concept of ten thousand Gold Coins? It could practically fill this entire hall! My God, if he really cos up with that kind of money, I’ll eat this table!"
"Haha, ignorant fool having never seen the world, while ten thousand Gold Coins are a great amount, they wouldn’t entirely fill this hall, but they could fill up three of those small carts over there; it’s that much money, one I certainly have never seen in my lifeti."
"Tch, you’ve been talking all this while, yet aren’t you just like ?"
"Alright, stop arguing everyone, I believe compared to how many coins can fit, we should concern ourselves more with the task itself, right?"
"You all heard it a while ago, that guy ntioned it’s a bounty task, and it’s about finding sothing, not slaying a Magic Beast. If that’s the case, doesn’t it an we all have the chance to complete it too?"
