Monster Girl Contract Manual

Chapter 50 Clever or Foolish

"A total of 12 silver coins and 87 copper coins, please keep them safe."

Having earned nearly 13 silver coins in a single day, House couldn't help but exclaim once again how incredibly useful the manual was.

"Unfortunately, this is not a long-term solution. The number of tasks and herbs is limited, and we cannot collect them repeatedly in a short period of time."

We still need to find a way to make money, collect evolution materials for monster girls, or contract new monsters.

House returned to the tavern.

Although the environment here isn't great, the prices are indeed reasonable.

And it did not affect House's rest.

House could easily filter out those random noises.

If all else fails, just have Lilim extend two tentacles to block her ears.

Back at the tavern, House was just about to take a good rest when Ian suddenly appeared in front of him.

"House, how's the bar?"

"good."

It's barely habitable.

After a few casual words, Ian took the opportunity to ask where he had gone that day.

House didn't hide anything and immediately explained that he had accepted an adventure commission and was going to do the mission.

Seeing Ian's hesitant expression, House asked him what he wanted to say.

"I was originally thinking of inviting you to team up with me."

Ian explained his plans.

He felt that House was quite capable, and with his archery skills and the close-combat coordination of the Yuri brothers, the group together was fully capable of taking on many challenging adventure missions.

Not only House, but Ian also suggested forming a team with the Yuri brothers this morning, and they agreed.

Is it difficult?

House didn't rush to refuse, but pondered for a moment.

Without much thought, House accepted Ian's invitation to team up.

With his current strength, even if he encounters a goblin lair with goblin warriors, he should be able to escape even if he can't defeat them.

Ordinary goblin imps couldn't catch him at all, but powerful goblin warriors, if they dared to break away from the cooperation of other goblins and chase after him alone.

House wouldn't mind giving it a try and soloing the goblin warrior.

......

The next day.

The four met at the tavern and headed to the Adventurers' Guild to accept the quest to wipe out the goblin's lair.

Currently, due to the sudden appearance of a small number of goblin warriors on the outskirts of the forest, adventurers face increased risks when dealing with goblin lairs.

In response, the guild has specifically increased the commission fee.

The price of Goblin Warriors remains unchanged at 10 silver each.

However, the bounty for ordinary goblins has been increased from 50 copper coins to 60 copper coins.

Don't underestimate these mere 10 copper coins.

From an economic perspective, the bounty price for each goblin has increased by 20%.

This also means that the overall revenue from the task has increased by 20%.

Just like when people go shopping at the supermarket, their eyes will always be drawn to those products with yellow labels that indicate a short-term price discount.

Compared to other monster quests whose prices haven't increased, everyone generally agrees that hunting goblins offers better value for money.

House and his friends accepted a mission to clear out a large goblin nest.

This lair contains a full forty goblins, and the total reward for the entire extermination contract is as high as 26 silver coins.

The reward is divided equally among four people, and each person can receive more than 6 silver coins.

After receiving the mission in the morning, House and the others couldn't wait to head to the mission location.

Thanks to the fact that Fengyan Town is situated in a cliff and valley crevice, it naturally possesses a terrain advantage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, the outer perimeter of Windrock Town does not need to be specially cleared out as a buffer zone like Windchime Town. The forest thickets belonging to the Misty Forest extend almost directly to the edge of the town.

The mission location doesn't require traveling too far.

According to House's plan, they should arrive at the mission location around noon. After spending some time clearing out the remaining enemies, they might still be able to make it in time for the Adventurers' Guild's dinner.

Unfortunately, plans never keep up with changes.

......

At noon, the group arrived near the goblin's lair.

These were all experienced adventurers who had gone through many adventures, unlike the newcomers who couldn't wait to rush forward and start clearing out enemies as soon as they arrived at the mission location.

Everyone rested for a while to recover their strength.

While Ian and Yuri discussed their plans, House sent Harpy, who was on his shoulder, to the treetop to keep watch for them.

Upon seeing this, Ian's tone was full of envy.

"I never knew your pet had such abilities, House."

"After all, my abilities are limited, so it's naturally a good thing to be able to contribute more to the team."

House answered matter-of-factly.

In the initial plan, House, as a mage, could only cast fire missiles twice in a short period of time, one of which needed to be reserved for dealing with emergencies.

Therefore, aside from the initial operation, he was not required to participate in the subsequent cleanup operations.

He only provides remote support and backup when his teammates are in danger.

With this arrangement, in terms of contribution to the cleanup, he is definitely not as good as the other three.

Considering the possibility of uneven distribution of responsibilities, House made a temporary adjustment, taking on more of the duties himself.

The other three were slightly taken aback by House's words.

Then, they exchanged a knowing smile.

"That's good, we can divide it equally among everyone."

Ian repeated the sentence again.

House returned the smile.

After exchanging polite smiles, House drew his five-gold steel longsword from his waist in front of everyone and began to apply poison to it.

When House drew his longsword, and the cold glint of it flashed, the Yuri brothers stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Especially his younger brother Yurik, who couldn't help but swallow and unconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

Fortunately, his brother Julian subtly stopped him by raising his hand.

Ian, on the other hand, also gave a warning look.

Yurik then suppressed his inner impulse.

Complete the tasks first, then get the work done!

House, standing to the side, kept his head down, carefully and evenly applying the poison to the steel blade, a gentle smile always on his face.

Beneath his palm, the translucent blade gleamed coldly, reflecting the faces of the three men perfectly.

really!

Ugh.

......

After a short rest.

The group got up and went to clear out the goblin's lair.

At this moment, Ian deliberately showed off his other skill in front of House.

With one bow and two arrows, the first arrow was fired, taking down the goblin sentinel in front of the lair.

The second arrow was fired instantly, taking down the goblin archer in the tree.

The last goblin archer was taken care of by House with a fireball.

Then, the two Yuri brothers rushed out of the bushes at the same time and blocked the entrance to the cave.

One man stood guard with a shield, while the other wielded a sword, ready to strike. Their perfect coordination perfectly replicated the battle tactics of Garp and Zem.

A steady stream of goblin imps swarmed out of the cave entrance, falling into the two men's defensive perimeter, where they were slaughtered one by one as if being sent to the guillotine.

Seeing this, House's opinion of goblins changed again.

Even a cunning rabbit knows to have three burrows, but these goblins are so foolish as to leave only one entrance?

Sometimes House really couldn't understand whether goblins were intelligent or stupid.
