Chapter 109: Instance 99 seems a bit easy now [Seeking monthly passes!]
“Director, Director, I have one more thing to tell you,” Liu Hao shouted as he ran.
“What is it?” The Director stopped in his tracks, not far away, and looked at Liu Hao.
“Director, the Butcher’s Pig Slaughter Blade is missing. He asked to help him look for it yesterday. You weren’t in the factory last night, and I just rembered, so I rushed over to tell you,” Liu Hao said.
“Hmm? The Pig Slaughter Blade is missing? Are you sure? You know, without the Pig Slaughter Blade, how did he manage to slaughter the pigs yesterday?” The Director’s gaze flickered as he spoke.
“This… Rufeng told about it yesterday; whether it’s true or not, I don’t know. As for slaughtering pigs, he has his own kitchen knife,” Liu Hao still did not dare to confirm it directly.
“He has his own knife? …However, you might have been fooled by him. I just went to the slaughterhouse, and the Butcher was holding the Pig Slaughter Blade, not any kitchen knife,” the Director said.
...
“What? His Pig Slaughter Blade wasn’t lost?” Liu Hao’s face showed great surprise, and his heart was filled with anger, but he quickly suppressed it.
This is an abnormality, and abnormalities should not be fully believed.
Liu Hao said, “It seems he really was deceiving . Thank you, Director, I’ll go on patrol now.”
“Mm.” The Pig Head Factory Director nodded slightly.
…
Rufeng glanced at the ti; there were ten minutes left until the end of his shift.
Rufeng stood up and stretched lazily.
The once crowded slaughterhouse had been cleared out for the most part, leaving only twenty pigs.
Rufeng planned to deal with these twenty pigs in the afternoon.
“What a fine blade!” Rufeng caressed the Pig Slaughter Blade and thought to himself whether this blade could be brought back to the real world.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Pig Slaughter Blade should be able to return to the real world with him.
After all, there was no indication on the blade’s attributes that it couldn’t be taken back or that it belonged to a scene’s Special Items etc.
He tucked the Pig Slaughter Blade into his apron and slipped it into his waistband, quietly waiting for the shift to end.
The ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The slaughterhouse’s doors opened at just the right mont.
Minutes later, Rufeng arrived at the canteen.
Since the pigsty was closer to the canteen than the slaughterhouse, Rufeng, being a Contractor, was the last to arrive.
He saw Liu Hao and three others already sitting in the sa corner, eating the free al provided and chatting.
They didn’t even notice Rufeng’s entry.
Rufeng first went to the window, followed the usual procedure, ordered three dishes, paid for them, and then approached the group.
“Everyone seems so cheerful today; what happened, sothing good?” Rufeng looked at the smiling Luo Jing and Tang Hao and spoke as he took a seat next to them.
“I should be able to complete my task and return today,” Luo Jing said with a smile.
“I’m the sa. It should be enough by this afternoon,” Tang Hao added.
Although i Xizi said nothing, the envy in her eyes couldn’t be hidden.
“Oh? What’s this about? Didn’t you say yesterday it would take two or three days?” Rufeng asked, puzzled.
Luo Jing imdiately explained, “Do you rember what the Director said this morning when we went to the pigsty?”
“Of course, I rember,” Rufeng nodded, “Hmm? Are you saying…”
“Yes, the Pig Head Director ntioned he would use his own savings to buy a batch of pigs that are about to be sold. That batch has already arrived—there are a hundred pigs, evenly divided between Level 1 and Level 2, with none at third-level,” Tang Hao said.
“Good gracious, that adds up to millions, doesn’t it? However, since they are not fully grown pigs, the price should be a bit cheaper,” Liu Hao took a sharp breath.
Millions, and these weren’t just millions of RMB but millions of soul coins.
“In just one morning, I’ve already sold five grown pigs; my task is only short by two now. This afternoon, I’ll try to increase that number, and by the ti I return, my completion percentage should be higher,” Tang Hao stated.
“With such a good opportunity, why not wait a day? Get a few more out tomorrow?” i Xizi suddenly said.
“Hehe, better not, I just want to pass quickly and not take risks. This is my third Level 2 instance. After this, I’ll level up to third-level and then need to enter an instance only once a month,” Tang Hao said with a joyful smile.
Obviously, Tang Hao didn’t want to enter an instance.
Others visibly envied him at his words.
Once a month, how enviable.
“Congratulations then, this is only my first Level 2 instance; I still have a ways to go.”
“These pigs eat a lot and produce a lot too; it takes only two hours, which could account for half of yesterday. This afternoon, we should be able to fill the manure pit and return,” Luo Jing said.
“By the way, i Xizi, you should be able to complete it today too, right? With a fifty percent increase yesterday, you could have another fifty percent completion after work today,” Tang Hao turned to i Xizi.
“Mm, but I’m still a bit worried; what if sothing goes wrong with those pigs that just entered the pens?” i Xizi nodded her head.
It could certainly be said that among the five of them, four could have returned today, especially Mu Rufeng, who could return at any ti now.
This was because he had already t the clearance conditions when he slaughtered ninety-one mature pigs last night.
[Ding! It’s detected that the player has successfully slaughtered ninety-seven mature pigs and t the instance clearance conditions. Would you like to submit?]
This ssage appeared in Mu Rufeng’s mind last night, and naturally, he refused directly.
Ninety-seven pigs were not the end but just the beginning.
So, it could be said that Liu Hao was the most distressed one now.
“Mu Rufeng should be able to clear the instance today, right? You killed six pigs yesterday, and I heard from Manager Bai that you have almost dealt with the pig corpses. You’ll be sending mature pigs to the slaughterhouse this afternoon for you to slaughter,” Tang Hao added.
“Right.” Mu Rufeng nodded and didn’t elaborate much.
“Ha-ha, it looks like all five of us can go back today,” Liu Hao said with a laugh.
“Huh? What, did that thief get caught?” Luo Jing asked upon hearing this.
“Before I talk about that, I need to ask a question,” Liu Hao said, shifting his gaze to Mu Rufeng before continuing, “You said your Pig Slaughter Blade was lost, but why did the Factory Director tell today that you used the Pig Slaughter Blade to slaughter pigs?”
“Your Pig Slaughter Blade wasn’t really lost, so why did you tell it was?”
Mu Rufeng was taken aback and then said, “Oh, last night the Security Ghost tried to kick in the door and barge in, but I killed him in defense and found the Pig Slaughter Blade on him.”
“I just didn’t rember it this morning and forgot to tell you,” Mu Rufeng explained.
“Huh? The Security Ghost was killed by you?” Liu Hao exclaid in shock.
The Factory Director had told him that Old Zhang had retired, but then he thought, how could a ghost retire?
But that Security Guard Ghost was a third-level ghost, and even the Level 3 Gambling Ghost inside him wouldn’t dare say he could defeat it.
“Right,” Mu Rufeng nodded.
“This… this is impossible, that Security Guard Ghost is a third-level Evil Ghost, and you’re just a Level 1 Contractor, even if you contracted with a Level 2 ghost it’s still unbelievable,” Liu Hao still refused to believe it.
“Heh, just because you can’t do it, doesn’t an I can’t,” Mu Rufeng said with a light smile.
“It seems I underestimated you,” Liu Hao cald himself down.
Then, he began to describe his own plan for clearing the instance.
His plan was simple, gambling with a ghost.
If the ghost won, Liu Hao would give it five hundred soul coins; if Liu Hao won, then the ghost would have to steal sothing from the cafeteria.
It didn’t matter what, even if it were pots and pans, food ingredients, or even chairs or chopsticks.
Moreover, Liu Hao had found his target and gambled with it while patrolling earlier at work.
He had successfully beaten the Abnormality.
So now, he just had to wait for that Abnormality to steal sothing.
His conditions for clearing the instance were not just about helping Mu Rufeng find the Pig Slaughter Blade and catching the thief.
But as long as he caught a thief stealing sothing, no matter who it was from or whatever it was, once caught, he could complete the clearance task and return.
Upon hearing this, Mu Rufeng and the others all understood.
So it turned out, all five of them could return today.
“I feel like this instance is a bit too simple?” i Xizi suddenly spoke up.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
It was easy, indeed, as they could return on just the second day.
Although unlike so instances that could be cleared within a few hours, as a work-related instance, clearance generally took three to five days.
Hard, it was indeed hard for so people’s tasks.
But it had also beco extraordinarily easy due to last night’s turn of events.
“I just hope there’s nothing wrong with the batch of live pigs,” i Xizi added.
She was genuinely worried, as these pigs had been purchased from outside, who knew if one might be a sick pig.
If so, she wouldn’t be able to et her clearance conditions today, and if the sick pig didn’t recover, she might even die in the instance.
“What are you doing? Dare to co to the cafeteria and take things? Are you looking for death?”
Just then, a loud scolding ca from the entrance of the cafeteria.
The cafeteria lady was standing at the doorway, holding up a skinny Abnormality with one hand.
The other hand grasped the Abnormality’s left hand, which notably held a soup spoon.
“Ah, sorry, sorry, I just forgot to put it back, I had just finished my soup, and subconsciously slipped it in my pocket,” the skinny Abnormality hastily said.
“Forgot? How co you didn’t forget I’m your mother?” the cafeteria lady relentlessly rebuked.
“Ah, we used to bring our utensils to the cafeteria in the past, I’m just used to it, that’s why I subconsciously slipped it in my pocket. Please, give another chance,” the skinny Abnormality pleaded, pulling out ten yuan and stuffing it into the hands of the cafeteria lady.
