"Here you go, please keep your Adventurer ID safe."
After completing the registration, Elena took some time to inscribe the information onto a gray metallic plate using a magical device before handing it to the young woman.
The plate featured a small circular hole – likely designed for threading a cord so adventurers could wear it around their wrist or neck to prevent loss.
"Simply hold your Adventurer ID and concentrate on this plate to view its information."
"Oh, I nearly forgot – you’ve been an adventurer in other towns before, haven’t you? You’re probably familiar with all this already."
"Mhm."
Actually, I’m completely clueless…
Lin Yu accepted the metal plate.
Concentrate, huh?
Let me try…
Ah! It actually works!
Text suddenly materialized before her eyes.
Let’s see…
Name – correct. Race – human… also correct!
Adventurer Level shows E-class. Just as expected – no matter how strong you are, you have to start from scratch.
The class, level, and skills sections all matched the information from registration.
Merely placing a hand on the crystal tablet-like magical device made the Attribute Panel’s data appear midair.
What appeared was the "disguised" Attribute Panel.
What a relief.
But… what if the real Attribute Panel had shown up?
Well, obviously I’d have to make the Adventurer’s Guild members keep it secret… Exactly how to ensure their silence… would depend on the circumstances.
Continuing to read further…
The evaluation records must function like an adventurer’s career profile, correct? These affect future promotions in Adventurer Level.
No issues regarding team affiliations…
No concerns about the recommender either.
The golden-haired girl tucked the Adventurer ID into her pocket.
"Now allow me to briefly explain our guild’s operations."
"First, our operating hours – we typically close at midnight and reopen at dawn. There’s another clerk besides myself; we work in shifts. You’ll likely meet her if you visit tomorrow."
"Ah, these rowdy folks only gather here drinking and making noise in the evenings. The guild is much quieter during daylight hours."
"Now, about that area…"
Miss Elena gestured toward the right wall where several wooden display boards hung, densely pinned with handwritten notices on yellowed parchment.
"That’s our guild’s Commission Board. Like all Adventurer’s Guilds, we categorize missions into three primary types. First are collection quests – mainly for herbs and monster parts, typically requested by Apothecaries, Armor Stores, and weapon merchants."
"Second are escort missions – safeguarding clients or cargo to specific destinations. The Wings of Freedom Squad recently accepted such a contract."
"The third type – extermination quests – have seen a significant increase lately."
Elena sighed heavily.
"Western villages face constant harassment from goblins and wild wolves recently. Even town roads suffer monster infestations disrupting travel. I can’t fathom where this monster surge originates."
Shaking her head, she continued:
"Those are our core mission types. You’ll encounter other varieties eventually – clients have diverse needs, after all."
"Care to browse the board?"
"No, I’ll return tomorrow."
Lin Yu declined with a headshake.
Suddenly remembering something, she inquired:
"What about regular monster hunt materials?"
"We purchase most monster materials here. Selling more valuable specimens improves your adventurer rating, though we pay slightly below market rates."
"Should I produce them here now?"
"Produce what? Oh, monster materials?"
"Correct."
"Then please accompany me."
They proceeded to the guild’s rear cold storage facility.
After depositing the carcasses of Granville Wolves, goblins, and wild wolves eliminated during their journey, cold storage staff examined the remains and determined reimbursement values.
Six Granville Wolf pelts (including the alpha’s), though slightly damaged with preserved meat quality, fetched eighteen silver coins.
The remaining seventeen goblin and wolf carcasses, more severely damaged, only yielded twelve silver coins.
From the thirty silver coin total, Lin Yu claimed merely six coins, honoring her agreement to leave twenty-four coins for the three youths.
In addition…
"Do you accept Smoked Grass?"
"Smoked Grass, you say? Absolutely – we’re always short on herbs for staunching blood."
"I happen to have some with me."
After a moment’s consideration, Lin Yu retrieved a bundle of Smoked Grass from her dimensional storage and offered it to Elena.
"Vibrant green leaves, plump and larger than ordinary Smoked Grass… This is premium quality indeed…"
"What price can you offer?"
Elena passed the bundle to the cold storage attendant for appraisal.
"Remarkable quality! It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen Smoked Grass this fine. Where did you gather these, young lady?"
"The Granville Monster Forest. I spent some time there."
Observing their mild reaction, Lin Yu felt a wave of relief.
"I’ve more of this caliber. What’s the rate per pound?"
"Hmm… Two silver coins per pound."
"Agreed."
Lin Yu proceeded to produce bundle after bundle from her dimensional space, halting only when Elena and the attendant’s expressions shifted to astonishment.
Ten bundles in total, each approximately two pounds in weight.
"That should be all for now."
"This is more than sufficient…"
Combined with the earlier monster carcass sales, the total came to eighty silver coins.
For convenience, Elena assisted in exchanging several silver coins for smaller denominations.
Lin Yu received a pleasantly weighty coin purse.
Eighty silver coins total – even after deducting twenty-four for the three youths, fifty-six remained!
Who would have thought these lesser-quality bundles could fetch such sums? Perhaps I should sell some Class C monster materials next opportunity.
Lin Yu mused cheerfully.
Elena too was thoroughly pleased.
With monster-hunting commissions increasing lately, demand for medicinal herbs like Smoked Grass had surged. These ten premium bundles not only addressed their shortage but would also yield superior Hemostatic Powder and ointments – commanding higher prices than common-grade herbs.
A mutually beneficial transaction indeed.
…
Back in the guild hall, when the twenty-four silver coins were presented to the young trio, they erupted in excited exclamations.
"Shall we depart?"
"Absolutely!"
The quartet exited the guild premises.
"Might you recommend nearby lodgings?"
"Oh! I know an excellent place! Only two small silver coins per person nightly, with affordable meals that taste wonderful! The rooms are somewhat cramped though, and walls are thin."
"That settles it."
Anywhere’s fine – I’m positively famished!
