A few hours later on the mountain road, a parrot was perched on the head of a dejected calico cat, and the parrot was still squawking.
"Boss, boss, do you really want to do 1,035 things for that black-hearted businessman for Ah Mao? How is this different from selling yourself?" The parrot pecked his ear. "Don't tell me that you have been tricked by that black-hearted man and you are still counting money for him after being sold."
"Go, go play."
Joseph shook his head, and the parrot flapped its wings and flew away.
He originally just wanted to test Daniel's attitude, but he didn't expect that they almost got into a quarrel. It turned out that one couldn't expect a black-hearted businessman to show his kind side.
The monsters in the guild were clamoring and would not feel at ease until they saw him safe. Joseph had planned to finish the work at the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion that night, but they were clamoring so loudly that he had to go back to the guild first.
There are continuous mountains in the distance, and there is a lake on the mountainside. There used to be a garden here that had been abandoned for many years, covering an area of several hundred acres. It was used by the humans in the surface world to open a zoo some years ago. The zoo was not opened, but it was a good opportunity for Joseph and his friends. They occupied the land and set up a barrier, and regarded this place as their own territory.
When Joseph came over, there was no movement in the row of farmhouses. By the lake, a few porcupines covered with thorns were lying on their backs in the water to bask in the sun. The atmosphere was unusually harmonious and quiet. Joseph breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously and looked at the parrot above his head.
"It's been pretty peaceful today---"
Before he could finish his words, a duck hit him on the head.
"Quack, quack, quack! That dmn thrush by the lake is quarreling with the old turtle again," the duck ran around in a hurry, calling monsters everywhere to watch the fun, "but the old turtle was too slow to argue, so he fainted out of anger!"
"Ha ha ha ha, go check it out, don't miss the opportunity!"
The duck flapped its webbed feet, pushed the beaver away and ran around. With a "swish", several crocodiles and cranes jumped up from the lake, and then a fox with a rabbit in its mouth jumped out of the bushes over there.
"Where is the excitement? Where is the excitement?"
"On the east side of the lake! The old turtle is so angry that his belly is turning white! Gagaga!"
All of a sudden, three or five peacocks flew out of the forest, and monkeys came over swinging on branches. Then, with a "bang", a few penguins rushed out of the freezer in the row of farmhouses and waddled over.
"Quack, quack, quack." The parrot on Joseph's head also called out, "This silly old turtle can even turn over on his belly. Let me see!"
"Awoof woof---" Several huskies that were peeing by the tree started shouting in unison. The kangaroo that was chased over suddenly punched the porcupine, and the kangaroo sat on its butt0cks with a lot of thorns, howling like wolves.
The garden, which had been very quiet before, suddenly became lively. At the gate, Joseph looked at the dozens of monsters rushing out and the rattling sounds all over the garden, and his temples began to throb.
He thought today would be a rare quiet day.
"Is the boss back?"
"Where is the boss? You must have heard wrongly."
"That's the one standing under the tree over there." A few geese flapped their wings and flew over, pointing with their wings, "Aren't you guys out to see the boss?"
The monsters were all stunned and scratched their heads.
"That's true."
"Boss, boss, I heard that you were infected with the soul-bewitching vine. Are you okay? We have settled the new demons and are waiting for you to come back!" A group of demons pulled their robes and hurriedly surrounded them. "You didn't come back directly this time. Did you try to find a way to get the space magic weapon?"
There was only half a month left before the guild submitted the application. Powerful space instruments were hard to come by, so the monsters naturally thought that Joseph stayed with Daniel in order to get the villa.
After having the villa, they no longer had to stay in this abandoned garden. They could transform into human form and do what they wanted. The monsters gathered around one after another, looking expectantly at Joseph who was surrounded in the middle.
Joseph put on a black robe and stood up, and suddenly he was at a loss for words.
"I need more. I'll think of another way."
"Oh, the boss is here, one is worth ten!" The monsters cheered, "I knew that with the boss here, that black-hearted businessman can't do anything bad. Maybe this year's application will really produce results."
"Is the boss going back this time?" the sparrow chirped.
"I'll come back to see you guys. I have other things to do." Joseph thought of the treasure appraiser that Daniel asked him to deal with. He wanted to finish the task earlier so that he wouldn't have to worry about it later. "Help me find the whereabouts of a treasure appraiser. Just give me the information before sunset."
"Okay, then, boss, you take a rest, we'll go right away."
The monsters all dispersed with excitement on their faces, and a few birds rushed down the mountain.
In the past few years, they called themselves a guild, but in fact, Joseph was the only one who was busy every day. They hoped that they could help Joseph with anything so that they could share some of the work. They just thought it was news that the treasure appraiser had a space magic weapon, and they all worked hard.
After a long time, Joseph stood there, looked at the old turtle crawling slowly towards him, and sighed.
"Don't be too stressed, don't always take on everything yourself." The old turtle patted his instep and lay down beside him. "We are all low-level monsters, some of us even have difficulty transforming, but we are not completely useless, we can always help you."
Joseph's expression moved slightly.

When it got dark, Joseph went down the mountain. He only came back to the guild once every six months, and had to leave again two hours after coming back. There was really not much time left for him. After finishing the things Daniel had asked him to do, he also had to look for a new space magic weapon.
The news brought by Que'er said that the treasure appraiser would go to a bar in the evening. It would be a dark and windy night with dim lights, which was a perfect time to kill someone.
"The new demons want to help you too," the birds flew around him, chirping, "Boss, no matter what you do, remember to come back safely."
"I will." Joseph smiled.
The light of the space magic array lit up and completely engulfed Joseph.
The streets of the other world had just rained, and the streetlights were wet. The neon lights in the city that never sleeps were lit up, and there were many monster hunters wasting their time with handfuls of crystals. A figure in a black robe flashed by and disappeared on the street.
Daniel's request was to leave a black market certificate nearby after killing the person, which was also a revenge for the previous conspiracy between the Appraisal Pavilion and the arrest alliance to embezzle the villa. He took the villa and killed the middleman openly, just to let the outside world know that the black market is not something that can be bullied at will.
"That's really your style, Lu Heixin." Leaning against the wall, Joseph said with disdain.
"Solve it as soon as possible." Daniel only sent four words through the life link, which were concise and to the point.
"Don't worry, tonight either he kills me or I kill him."
At the other end of the link, Daniel frowned slightly. He wanted to say something, but Joseph had already cut off the link neatly. Joseph jumped into the end of the alley, tiptoed silently across the puddle, and stepped into the door of the bar amidst the spreading ripples.
"A blue margarita."
The copper bells rang softly, and Joseph walked to the bar, his black robe covering the ends of his silver hair. He turned his head and saw the treasure appraiser drinking with Mei Yao in the corner. He took the wine glass and took a sip very naturally.
The azure eyes stared at the swaying wine. The demon beside the treasure appraiser was quietly inviting the guy to go to the small hotel across the street. Joseph smiled, leaned lazily against the bar, and blocked the view from the other side with his wine glass.
The next step is to wait for the opportunity.
Not long after, the treasure appraiser stood up with Mei Yao in his arms, and walked out of the bar a little staggeringly. Joseph put down his wine glass and followed him, raising his hand to cover his hat more tightly.
Suddenly, in the dim light, he seemed to be tripped by something, and then the thing climbed up his calf quickly and coldly.
"hiss."
Joseph suddenly reached down.
"Sir, do you need any help?" The bartender noticed something was wrong with him from behind and asked him while wiping his glass.
"...It's okay, I just tripped."
Seeing that the treasure appraiser was about to walk away, Joseph slowly loosened his hand and walked towards the door with a limp. He tried to walk faster, and even his expression was a little stiff.
At this moment, under the black robe, the silver chain turned into a leg ring, firmly locked on his thigh, and when he walked, he felt a cold foreign body, which was hard to ignore. The chain head was intimately attached to his thigh, as if greeting him.
...
Joseph suddenly remembered that when the connection was cut off, Daniel seemed to want to say something.
This guy, was he really afraid that he couldn't kill the treasure appraiser or something, he actually teleported his natal magic weapon over after such a long distance!
Have you ever considered how he feels if there is suddenly something on his leg?
It really delays my work.
He cursed Daniel angrily and felt the silver chain seemed to be tightened.
The author has something to say:
Mr. Lu, the businessman: I was afraid that the wild cat would really be beaten to death, so I specially sent it my natal magic weapon. I must be very touched.
