Chapter 22: Protecting goods
Nix entered the pub and sat at a table in a corner and then an alluring waitress came and sat opposite to him.
'hmm'
He scanned her whole body from up and down. Her cloth was totally revealing everything except covering her Double D breasts and her crotch. She had long glossy curly black hair and her pupils resembled a green jade crystal. She was extremely arousing and out of all the other waitresses she seemed to be the most beautiful one. Nix licked his lips and tried to control himself from the sexual urge.
'Damn she's hot!'
"Tap!"
He tapped the table feeling nervous. He is a healthy virgin young man and reacted just like every man would react. He was feeling a bit flustered but he ain't a wimp though.
She gave him an alluring smile and asked.
"Hello! what's your order ?"
" "
"Hello?" She waved her hands near Nix's face.
Nix shook his head and snapped out of it.
"Ah yes!"
The lady smiled and asked.
"fufu First time here huh?"
"Yes"
"Okay we have some drinks and Food based on the countries our customers come from "
"You have south Indian foods here?"
"yes but currently we have only Idly with sambar and parotta with chicken gravy."
"Okay, four parottas with Gravy please."
Parotta is a normal food Item which is made using Maida and wheat as an ingredient and it is a cheap meal to fill a heavy appetite which is a popular dish in the southern part of India.
"okay will be here in a minute!" She winked at him.
"No, I am not in urgent need, so make it slow even if it takes 30 minutes. It's okay," Nix replied with a smile.
"Okay"
She walked away somewhere and Nix cast his eyes on other tables examining other people and scanned his surroundings. The area was congested but it was populated with many people and all the customers were men as the name suggests it was made this way to attract men. Just like the waitress who attended Nix, many waitresses were wearing the same attire and all of them were exhibiting their voluptuous body.
Suddenly a man come and stood in the middle of the pub and started making some attention.
"Attention everybody I am from the Red fangs clan. We are hiring Level 4 players to join our bandit's team. Interested people, please contact our Red Fangs faction or you can contact me."
Nix clicked his tongue and muttered.
"tsk What's up with this guy? who would join bandits?"
The waitress who took Nix's order came and sat closer to Nix. Nix gulped as he felt her shoulder touch his.
"Fufu why are you looking so flustered? relax yourselves you came here after seeing that board right?"
"Yes but this is too close. It is making me feel a bit uncomfortable. I am not good at interacting with women a bit," Nix replied.
"hmmph" She pouted and folded her hands.
"It's not like I don't like it though. it is just that this is my first-time visiting places like this so I haven't got used to it yet" Nix replied to ease her.
"hmm, it's okay but you are not going to join as a bandit? You came here looking for a job and information right?"
"What? how did you know?" Nix exclaimed.
"fufu I just guessed it. I can easily see it from your facial reaction from the start."
'So, I completely look like a pathetic newbie huh?'
"What are the other jobs Outlaws can get"
"Hmm," She raised one finger and opened her mouth"First Bandits" She raised another finger
"Secondly there is smuggling where you should smuggle products and weapons into Cities ruled by royal families."
Raised another finger
"Third is a job to protect the goods when delivering to another designated place safely."
and she raised her fourth finger.
"Fourth slave-trading where you help slave traders to catch and hunt slaves."
She lastly opened her thumb.
"Lastly there are two more jobs one is Joining as thieves where you team up with others and steal and the other one is join assassins to do the assassination missions."
'Hmm, all that Outlaws can do are a shady business? But what about protecting goods? It looks kinda decent'
"So, how do I sign up for the delivery of goods?"
"How did you even become an outlaw in the first place you look like someone who seems to be just teleported here and what's your level?"
'It's better to not reveal my level. I think I am equal to a level 4 player so let's stick with two.'
"hmm, a level two, and I always relied on my team leader so I don't know how Outlaw's side works."
"fufu It's okay, I guess you had your reason for choosing to become an outlaw."
"More like they pushed me " Nix muttered to himself.
"What?"
"ah, it's nothing."
She got up from her seat and turned to him and opened her mouth.
"Okay, aight I'll bring your food."
"Okay!"
Some people came and tried to recruit some outlaws for Jobs and as time went by Nix just ate the food and waited for the Delivery job. And after a few minutes, a tall lean man who had long blue hair announced a delivery Job.
"Anybody's willing to join in our delivery job we urgently need level 3 or higher level players so interested people can either visit Burning Blood clan base or me to join."
Strangely many weren't willing to accept the Job so, Only he decided to sign up for it.
Nix ate his food and said goodbye to the waitress.
"Okay, I think this job is the one I need."
"hmm Come visit often! And I forgot to introduce myself I am Felishia" She winked and ran her fingers on the surface of her body from her chest and smoothly went to her pierced navel and looked at him seductively.
Nix's lips curved up "yes I will visit often and how much for the meal?"
"20 silver coins for the meal"
he paid her for the meal and the amount of balance he had now was 480 silver coins.
And then he walked to the Blue haired Man.
"I listened to your announcement can I join your team? And how much pay can I get for the job."
The Blue-haired man had a look that didn't give out any kind of malice or evil intention.
The blue-haired man spoke in a calm voice.
"I am Loganathan. it's nice to meet you. Are you perhaps new here?"
"yes I just came to the city early morning"
"Hmm, you know Delivery jobs won't receive much income than the other jobs right? the pay will be 5 gold coins after delivering the goods plus there will be me and 3 other members of Burning blood with us ."
"Hmm I am level 2 and it's okay if the pay is low." Nix said indifferently
Loganathan was surprised after noticing the handle in his back and questioned Nix.
"hmm is this a sword of a soldier from Ranrak?"
"yes"
'Does this sword has greater value than I thought.'
Thinking Inwardly Nix started speaking.
"No, I am sorry but currently I don't have any other equipment so I can't sell it for now. When I do I'll sell it to you."
"Okay, Now about the Job firstly you need to sign a contract with the Burning Blood clan ensuring that you will not steal the goods or leave the team until it's delivered."
"Those are the only needs? and about the goods, what are the goods that we need to deliver?"
Loganathan started speaking with a straight face.
"Sorry, but I can't reveal details about the goods until you sign the contract and yes those two are the only clauses. so, what's your decision."
"Deal" Nix smiled and shook hands with Loganathan.
"We will be departing early this morning so, be on time the place we will be departing from will be this pub."
"Okay then I will meet you tomorrow"
Nix walked from the pub and started going through the roads again to get a place to stay. He went seeking places and he found diverse inns.
But, the cost was very expensive so he went searching for an inn with a low price after wandering here and there he found a shabby lane which looked dark and shady and in that lane, he found an inn called Steel armor which gave out the same vibe like how the lane was giving out and many people seemed like suspicious but anyway he didn't have anything expensive with him so, he didn't fear about getting stolen.
He walked to the receptionist while the receptionist woman was half asleep lying on the table so he knocked on the table to wake her up.
"Ah, y-yes!"
she woke up in a panic. Nix gave her a gentle smile.
"Welcome to steel armor inn, sir! May I know how many days you are staying?"
Nix opened his mouth.
"What's the price for staying here per day?"
"Its 100 silver coins per day sir"
'Shit these money-hungry sharks! aren't there any other inn that is more affordable than this own if this is the most affordable in here then I don't know how much a luxurious one will cost? so, That's, why Malini explained her problems to me. Outsiders don't think this is costly because of their wealth but my case is different though.'
"Okay, I will be staying here for a day."
"Okay, sir your room will be on the second-floor no.13, and please take care of your belongings sir if you lose anything we can't be accountable for that."
"Okay," he got the key and walked to his room.
He opened the door of his room and there wasn't anything remarkable it was a cheap inn's room, so expecting much will make him fool. There was a single bed and the walls had rifts on it while the paint of the room looked too old. But, Nix grinned with a satisfied face and laid on the bed and gazed at the ceiling.
'Ah after all that searching, Finally! this feels good, I need to get stronger as soon as possible. And I gotta go for the job tomorrow just to stay in an inn... It's like I can't be free from work anymore. If only I was a regular.'
He mumbled and placed his sword near the drawer for any emergency that may appear and then he closed his eyes after that for a nap.
