In the team-up plaza, Wang Han wandered among the crowd, holding his Tier 1 Adventurer Badge. He listened to the people around him shouting out their respective quests, the required strength and class, and looked at the quest details and requirements written on the signs held up by the people around him, searching for a quest that went along the way to the Ten Thousand Mountains.
"Escorting a caravan to Batu, a C-rank mission, requires one hundred people. Departure in two days, journey of six months, with carriages and horses throughout, traveling with the Pegasus Mercenary Group. No adventure level or class restrictions, minimum requirement is mentor level. If you meet the requirements and are interested, hurry up and sign up!" In the square, a chubby mercenary carrying a large axe walked out of the Adventurers' Guild and shouted loudly.
"Batu... a C-level mission... usually only those with god-level strength dare to accept it. Even long-distance escort missions require several professional saints... It's near the capital of the Tianyuan Empire, close to the Elf Forest, a distance of 14,000 li, passing through two small kingdoms and also crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains." Upon hearing this, Wang Han immediately walked towards the chubby mercenary. These long-distance missions advertised in the square are generally only chosen by mercenaries traveling along the same route; the rewards depend on contribution and strength. Therefore, besides Wang Han, few others walked towards the chubby mercenary.
"Count me in," Wang Han said as he walked up to the fat mercenary.
“Profession badge, adventurer's badge,” the fat mercenary said somewhat awkwardly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Han handed over his professional badge and adventurer's badge.
Upon seeing Wang Han's professional badges, the fat mercenary's attitude immediately improved. After taking the two badges and confirming their authenticity, he respectfully said, "Greatsword Master, Great Mage Master. Sir, please come in with me to register."
"Shouldn't we wait for other people who want to join?" Wang Han asked.
"It's alright, just keep calling out when you come out later," the fat mercenary said respectfully. He thought to himself that Wang Han alone was worth a hundred, so of course he should register Wang Han in the mission first; otherwise, it would be a huge loss if Wang Han changed his mind.
On the way, the chubby mercenary introduced himself: "My name is Leidun, and yours is Leidun."
“Wang Han,” Wang Han said. After that, the two remained silent.
Ten minutes later, the fat mercenary brought Wang Han out to register. He breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt at ease explaining the details of the mission to Wang Han.
"This mission is to reach the capital of the Batu Empire, 14,000 li away. Along the way, we'll pass through two kingdoms, the Kingdom of John and the Kingdom of Deji, and also cross the Ten Thousand Mountains. However, the caravan pays for the road through the Ten Thousand Mountains every year, and this year's toll has already been paid, so there's almost nothing to worry about. The entire journey will be by carriage, and all food and supplies will be provided by the caravan. We are just a detachment of the caravan. In two days, we will first head to Chaoyang City in the Chaoyang Empire to meet up with other caravans and mercenary groups, and then we will set off together. Have you taken on any quests along the way? If they are time-consuming, I hope you can decline them. Also, if you do take on a quest, you must report to the guild leader, and the time spent on a quest cannot exceed one day. After completing the quest, you must catch up with the main group as soon as possible. If you find the quest difficult, you can also find others to cooperate with, but you will need to pay a reasonable fee."
"Yeah. I picked up a mission along the way, but it won't take much time, at most half a day to finish." Wang Han nodded and said. Reg had already told Wang Han the rules for taking missions along the way, after all, they couldn't wait for him to finish the mission before continuing on his way.
"Okay, that's good." Hearing this, the chubby mercenary nodded and said, "Now that you know, you can go back and rest. Meet at the assembly square in the west of the city at nine o'clock in the morning two days from now. The assembly flag is the Pegasus Mercenary Group."
"Understood." Wang Han nodded and said, "I'll go into the guild and find a quest along the way."
"Don't take on any missions that are too long or too troublesome," Fatty Lai cautioned. He didn't stop him, as this was normal practice. The journey was too long, and it wouldn't be worthwhile not to take on some side missions. Their mercenary group had already taken on two such missions (they could only perform a maximum of three). They planned to complete the missions along the way and then take on some more. He wondered what Wang Han would think if he knew what missions Wang Han had taken.

On the other side, after rejoining the Adventurers' Guild, Wang Han went straight to the fifth floor. Amidst everyone's respectful greetings, he arrived at a counter, pointed to the screen, and said, "Give me that A-rank quest about the extinction of the Luo Lie family."
"Pfft..." The people who had just regained some of their heartbeats were startled again. The Luo Lie family, although the Luo Lie family had a bad reputation, was a powerful family with two gods. Even the Chaohui Empire did not dare to provoke them easily.
"My Lord, won't you reconsider? This family has two god-level experts, plus other experts within the family and some from other races. It's already an S-rank mission, but because it was issued early, when the Luo Lie family wasn't as powerful as it is now, it's still considered an A-rank mission," the staff member asked cautiously. An A-rank mission to annihilate the Luo Lie family was already barely considered an S-rank mission.
“I’ve already thought it through, so stop with the nonsense,” Wang Han said impatiently.
"Yes, my lord, I'll record it for you right away." Seeing that Wang Han was getting impatient, the staff member could only reluctantly record the task on Wang Han's adventurer badge and remove the task of destroying the Luo Lie family from the task screen.
"By the way, what's the reward for this mission?" Wang Han asked after accepting the mission.
"Uh..." The staff member was speechless when he saw Wang Han asking about the reward after accepting the task, but still looked at the task list and said, "The task was issued a thousand years ago. The reward is everything that was left of a powerful family that has been wiped out. This includes their collections and the family's surviving descendants. There are also some additional rewards from other people, such as medicinal herbs, weapons, magical items, and crystal coins."
"Destroying one family and gaining the collections of two families makes my collection even richer. It's a good deal." Wang Han nodded in satisfaction and left without looking back.
"The destruction of the Luo family was merely for his collection." After Wang Han left, a professional saint murmured, unable to comprehend Wang Han's thought process. Such a dangerous undertaking was simply to increase his collection, and he even thought it was a worthwhile deal.
——————————————————
"My God, that A-rank quest about the extinction of the Luo Lie family has been accepted!" When Wang Han walked down the fifth floor, the entire Adventurers' Guild was in an uproar. No matter which floor, there were several quest screens showing quests that could be accepted without an adventurer's level. Just now, on the screen for quests without level requirements, the A-rank quest that had been hanging for a thousand years suddenly turned red, showing that it had been accepted. A minute later, the screen refreshed and disappeared.
The entire Adventurers' Guild was in an uproar. With the quest posted, many members of the Luo Lie family were shocked that someone would dare accept such a task. It wasn't just the Adventurers' Guild in Dawn City that was in an uproar; as the screen refreshed, many other adventurers' guilds erupted in chaos, even those in other countries. Everyone knew that only a deity would dare accept such a quest, meaning either the deity would fail and die, or the Luo Lie family would be wiped out.
