Chapter 27: Preparing for His Wife’s 60th Birthday!

Translator: Zayn_

Happy times were always so short.

Lu Qingge was here day after day.

In the satisfaction and joy of beating up the Goblins, the days flowed by like a river.

At the same time, from that day onwards, Caroline felt that her life seemed to have entered a strange cycle.

Just a while ago, she clearly remembered that strange adventurer called Lu Qingge would accept missions from her and then slaughter Slime crazily.

And such a cycle lasted for nearly half a month before it ended.

Caroline thought that from that day onwards, she should be able to get rid of this annoying fellow.

However, what she did not expect was…

This was just the beginning.

Because after that, Lu Qingge didn’t farm [Slime] anymore.

He changed to farming [Goblins]…

History seemed to be repeating itself.

Every night, Lu Qingge would carry a full set of [Goblin Hand Bones] and come back on time to hand in the mission.

That was the only thing worth rejoicing about.

Probably.

Goblins weren’t as simple and crude as Slime.

Moreover, it was within the range of Gran Forest.

It was also a little wider than [Slime].

So things had reached this stage where Lu Qingge could no longer rely on his own strength.

It wouldn’t affect the supply and demand of the missions for newbies.

Therefore, Caroline didn’t have to worry about receiving complaints from newbies again.

But even so, Lu Qingge’s Adventurer’s grind-set made Caroline feel a sense of awe.

She felt extremely flustered and afraid.

..

At this moment.

In the hall of the Hero Association.

“Alright!”

“Thank you, Miss Caroline!”

“See you tonight!”

Just like every morning, after accepting the mission, Lu Qingge politely smiled and said goodbye to Caroline.

He got up and left the workstation, then walked out of the office hall.

“He really has perseverance…”

Mona, who was sitting at the side, couldn’t help but whisper, “This guy always comes first, right?”

“He always gets the first token.”

Caroline said helplessly, “Yes.”

When she heard this, Mona’s gossipy soul began to burn uncontrollably.

“Hehe! Senior! Tell me… Is there such a possibility that this guy interested in you?”

Usually, in the early morning, in the hall of the Hero Association in Gran Town, there would not be a lot of traffic.

So at this time, only Caroline and Mona were calling numbers at their desks.

The two of them were already used to it, so Caroline called the first number first.

And Lu Qingge was the first person to come to the office every day to accept missions.

With that said, if one had to explain it as “creating a chance encounter”, in fact, it was not completely impossible.

But Caroline had never thought of this.

Mona suddenly gave her a wake-up call. She was indeed a little caught off guard.

“Cough cough!”

Caroline choked. “What are you kids thinking about every day?””

“Senior, you’re too anxious.”

“I’m not! Who would be interested in that kind of guy!”

Caroline’s voice unconsciously rose.

“How are your KPIs?”

Just as the two were playing, a cold voice came from behind them.

The voices of the two people stopped abruptly.

Caroline didn’t even need to turn around.

This voice…

It belonged to their supervisor, Betty.

Betty was about 35 years old.

She was a woman who had a cold face for almost 24 hours and was extremely difficult to talk to.

“I’m sorry, Supervisor .”

Caroline immediately smiled apologetically and said, “We’ll definitely pay attention in the future.”

“No idle chatter or noise during office hours.”

Betty crossed her arms in front of her chest and said expressionlessly, “Think about your bonuses this quarter.”

After throwing down a lukewarm sentence, Betty’s footsteps gradually faded away.

Caroline and Mona’s tense bodies finally relaxed.

“Hu…”

“I’m convinced.”

“Supervisor Betty can really scare someone to death!”

Mona heaved a sigh of relief and muttered, “Besides, she’s really too much!”

“Every time something happens, she always bring up the bonus.”

The salary of the basic staff was not very high.

If even the bonus had to be deducted, that was no different from a low-income household.

Just like the guy who had been receiving relief money for a whole year…

“Speaking of which, Senior, how’s your KPI this quarter?”

“Can you manage it?”

Mona asked curiously, “I heard from other seniors before that the political achievements of Gran Town have never been good?”

Caroline nodded and sighed. “Yes, I am aware.”

As a clerk who had worked in the Hero Association for two years, Caroline naturally knew about this.

All along, the local performance of Gran Town was indeed not very good.

This was because the local young population was losing a lot, and the aging population was more serious.

Therefore, there were naturally very few outstanding and capable adventurers.

In fact…

When it came to the annual quota for Gran Town, half of the missions had been accomplished with the help of adventurer teams led by the Iron Wolf Team.

Therefore, he had no choice. If he performance of Gran Town was not good, then the pressure on the Hero Association would increase.

In the end, the ones who suffered were still the low-level clerks.

And when Mona mentioned this matter…

Caroline began to feel dizzy again.

She was indeed a little short of completing this quarter’s quota.

However, those bits and pieces were not particularly important.

More importantly…

The completion indicator of the F-1’s bounty mission…

For the clerks of the Hero Association, completion indicators were different from referral indicators.

The recommended task… Only after the adventurer successfully completed it could it be considered a completion indicator.

And the completion indicator of the F-1 mission could definitely be said to be the biggest highlight of this season.

As long as this target could be completed, then the bonus for this season would be guaranteed.

She didn’t have to rack her brains to write those disgusting reflection reports.

But this season, she had already recommended at least a hundred adventurers to take this mission.

But until now, no one had come to her to hand in the mission.

“The most promising one is probably that young muscular male Warrior at Level 6.”

“But during this period of time, he was busy preparing for his wife’s 60th birthday…”

Caroline rubbed her forehead and felt her head ache even more.

This mission was already unpopular enough. Low-level players could not do it, and high-level players did not want to do it.

This made it even more difficult to find a suitable person to do this hard job.

Anyway, Caroline always felt that her bonus was most likely going to disappear.

– Until the evening came.

When the sun in the west was about to set, Caroline saw a familiar figure walk into the hall.

“Good evening, Miss Caroline. I’m here to hand in a mission.” Lu Qingge smiled faintly.

The system notification sounded. Caroline looked up at the panel.

In the next moment, her heart and lungs stopped.
