The level of danger in the wilderness is indeed too high. Those who have completed extreme training seriously wouldn't venture into the wild alone unless absolutely necessary. If they do decide to go, they need to form a reliable team. In particularly dangerous areas, even powerful individuals who have broken through the genetic lock and embarked on the path of evolution wouldn't dare to take risks lightly.
The commission to escort Yasha would require careful consideration from Li Wei, especially if it involved going to the town of Wa Lake. Unless there was a substantial reward and a reliable team, Li Wei wouldn't even think about accepting the commission.
Fortunately, that wasn't the case. This made Li Wei breathe a sigh of relief, but he still needed to clarify the details of the task.
"If it's not going to Wa Lake, then where is it going?"
"To the Clover Branch."
"The hunter branch in the upper district's Clover community?"
"Yes. Judith will also be accompanying you. This commission requires the two of you to complete it together."
"What?" Li Wei was taken aback. He asked, "Judith is coming too? Are you sure about that?"
Judith, a high-level Demon Hunter who was on the verge of manifesting elements, with seven levels of chain development, including four levels in Nexus Chain. Having such a character lead the way, what could Li Wei do? Serve tea, pour water, and do odd jobs?
"Yes, exactly, serve tea, pour water, and do odd jobs." Eileen, with her ample chest, said matter-of-factly, "Judith is my good friend, and she is already a high-level hunter in the Clover Branch. She happened to be visiting me, and since Yasha is going back anyway, we decided to take her along."
Li Wei squinted his eyes and began to think.
Eileen spoke casually, but it couldn't hide one fact: Judith, a high-level Demon Hunter, acting as Yasha's bodyguard. This wasn't as simple as Eileen made it sound. Despite their friendship, according to Eileen, this was a legitimate commission.
For a high-level Demon Hunter like Judith to serve as Yasha's bodyguard wasn't a trivial matter. What level of commission would it take to pay for such a service? A starting price of five hundred amethyst crystals?
This was a substantial sum, equivalent to the price of one hundred bottles of C-grade genetic fluid. It couldn't be justified by just being convenient or having a good relationship.
Judith had to personally handle it, so the commission level was at least B-rank or even reaching A-rank.
Given this commission level, Li Wei could only do odd jobs.
Eileen saw what Li Wei was thinking and said satisfactorily, "It seems your brain hasn't rusted yet, thinking quite a bit. Yes, this is a B-rank commission. And I can tell you that Yasha's identity is not ordinary. If it weren't for my current situation... which I can't explain, I would have gone myself."
Li Wei said, "Hehe, a B-rank commission, even odd jobs could be quite dangerous, right? I'm curious, who is Yasha really? Does she have trouble to the extent that a high-level Demon Hunter needs to escort her?"
He did have some doubts. He guessed that Yasha wasn't an ordinary person, especially since the girl possessed special talents.
However, if she were some important figure, why would only a small gang be dealing with this matter? Even if Yasha had an extraordinary identity, how could she be captured alone? Regardless of Konstantin's abilities, there was still a considerable distance from the level of a high-level Demon Hunter.
After considering it, Eileen said, "I can't reveal Yasha's identity, but her family has some special ties to the Hunter Guild. In any case, you only need to know that we must help her."
Continuing, Eileen said, "Don't think too much. With Judith there, she will handle any big trouble, and you'll only need to deal with some small fry. Plus, there might be a smooth journey, and nothing will happen. You'll earn the experience and reward for a B-rank commission for free."
With Eileen's words, Li Wei was somewhat tempted. As Eileen said, with Judith, a high-level Demon Hunter, and without leaving the city, what big trouble could arise?
But he still didn't plan to hastily agree. He said, "Let me consider it. When is the departure?"
"Three days later."
"Alright, I'll give you an answer at the latest tomorrow night. Now, help me estimate the value of these things."
Saying this, Li Wei took out two items: a small cloth bag containing blood slaves and vampire fangs. Additionally, there was a pair of folded vampire wings.
Eileen casually took them and threw a D-grade genetic fluid at him.
"Is it worth just one bottle of genetic fluid?"
"It's more than enough." Eileen said, "If you can find someone to use these fangs and wings to create some special magical equipment, it might be worth more. However, with just these raw materials, one bottle of D-grade genetic fluid is sufficient. Take it or leave it."
"I'll take it." What else could Li Wei say? If possible, he would also like to use these materials to create some equipment, such as a better dagger. But the problem was, this rundown place in the 17th Street district didn't even have a skilled craftsman.
Forget it, exchange it for a bottle of evolution fluid. That was reasonable.
After completing the transaction with Eileen, he also picked a D-rank commission with a relatively generous reward.
Two days later, having completed the commission and obtained two bottles of genetic fluid, Li Wei returned to his residence.
After injecting one bottle of genetic fluid, Li Wei once again felt the surge of life force.
He had a plan for this bottle of genetic fluid: to unseal another page.
However, this time, there were some problems.
When Li Wei felt the entire bottle of genetic fluid being absorbed by the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, the fifth page still didn't fully manifest.
To continue revealing the pages, the Book of Ten Thousand Laws began extracting his own life force.
This process was decisively terminated by Li Wei. Depleting his own life force would harm his foundation. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't engage in such actions again.
But this problem still needed to be solved.
He thought for a moment and guessed the reason – the Book of Ten Thousand Laws required even more life force to unseal now. One bottle of D-grade genetic fluid wasn't enough.
This conclusion was quite easy to draw. When he unsealed the third page, he only needed one bottle of D-grade genetic fluid; when he unsealed the fourth page and obtained the Devil's Left Hand, he used an entire vampire heart, equivalent to a bottle of C-grade genetic fluid. Now, trying to unseal the fifth page, one bottle of D-grade genetic fluid simply wasn't sufficient.
After injecting one bottle of genetic fluid, Li Wei felt that only about a quarter to a fifth of the fifth page had been revealed.
The situation was quite dire. It meant that even if he invested all the genetic fluid he had on hand, he still couldn't fully unseal the fifth page.
