Chapter 688 Adventurer's Guild



Ten thousand meters in the air, Danas looked at the flying sword under his feet in silence, then looked at the noisy Taishan below, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, are you sure this is a reward?"

"…I think so."

Lin Zhongtian looked at Mount Tai below and said, "After all, this is a world where gods and many extraordinary powers exist. I have given them a systematic path of cultivation, which is much more suitable than pure high technology and will produce faster results."

"If there really is a peerless genius, perhaps within ten years a national swordsman will appear..."

Yamu suddenly asked, "But what if that national swordsman is from my motherland?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Qingyuan Sword Technique is a standard righteous martial art that emphasizes a clear and flawless sword heart. It is impossible to cultivate it to perfection if you have too many negative desires."

Yamu nodded and felt relieved.

Danas asked with a smile: "So where are we going next?"

Lin Zhongtian waved his hand, opened a silver portal, and said with a smile: "Go to Mount Olympus and rob!"

On the other side, the second high-energy world.

In the capital of the human kingdom called Re-Estize, two adventurers, one tall and one short, were walking on the bustling streets.

Although they are said to be one tall and one short, in fact the taller one is too tall. He is nearly two meters tall and wears tight blue armor with black stripes. The muscles all over his body fill up the armor, making the armor look angular as if it grew out of his body.

In line with his sturdy figure is his handsome face with a slightly exotic look.

His black hair fluttered in the wind, his facial features were deep, and his blue eyes were bright and lively. One could say that just by looking at his appearance, one could tell that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Next to him, the man who was slightly shorter was 1.85 meters tall.

He was wearing a silver light armor that was thinner than the former. He held a silver spear on his shoulder in his right hand and looked around the streets with a slightly nonchalant look.

The bustling crowd was filled with all kinds of people. The shop owners on the street enthusiastically shouted their wares to the passers-by, and the elderly women bargained with the vegetable merchants who came into the city...

Just as the silver-armored warrior was enjoying the scent of fireworks, a large armored hand patted his shoulder.

"Gangzi, I found the Adventurer's Guild, come with me to hand in the quest!"

Bai Lang said this excitedly, and then immediately took a step forward and walked towards the five-story building not far ahead.

Deng Yougang came back to his senses, looked at Bai Lang's back with helpless expression, then sighed and quickly chased after him.

"Brother Bai, we've been here for so many days, but the main quest hasn't progressed at all. Is this really okay?"

“…Who said there was no progress!”

Bai Lang stopped, widened his eyes, pointed at the silver medal on his arm armor and said, "Hasn't this made me a Mithril-level adventurer?"

"I've inquired about it. Adventurers in this world are divided into eight levels: bronze, iron, silver, gold, platinum, mithril, orichalcum, and steel. We've only been registered for half a month, and we've already become mithril-level adventurers. Can you say we've made no progress?"

Deng Yougang rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain: "Main quest! I'm talking about the main quest!"

"Boss, you opened up the high-energy world so that we can come in and look for clues about the Lord God, not so that you can fulfill your childhood dream of integrating into the natives and becoming an adventurer in another world!"

Bai Lang blinked, then scratched his cheek, and said with a wandering look: "Well... that's what I said, but becoming a high-level adventurer can also help me collect better information about this world, right?"

“…”

Deng Yougang looked at Bai Lang expressionlessly, raised his hand and threw a novel into his arms.

"These are all sixteen volumes of Overlord novels published so far. All the information you want is in them."

“…”

Bai Lang's face froze, and he immediately burned the novel to ashes, saying with disgust, "Isn't this cheating? I won't read it!"

"You may not know this, but I used to play this type of RPG game, but I never read the guide!"

Looking at the proud expression on Bai Lang's face, Deng Yougang couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "You are quite proud to say yes... But I remember that you were a real person who played extreme sports in your previous life. Why are you still a game geek and an 2D fan?"

Bai Lang asked back: "Conflict?"

Deng You sighed and said, "No conflict."

Bai Lang laughed strangely, "And you seemed to have a lot of fun hunting the ogre before. You called out the names of these second-rate moves, such as the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear and the Peerless Demon God Halberd, much more frequently than I did!"

Deng Yougang twitched his lips and said unhappily, "I already told you, that wasn't me who shouted!"

Bai Lang waved his hands and said perfunctorily: "It's all the same, all the same!"

The two of them were arguing and laughing in a language that passers-by could not understand as they walked towards the five-story building under the gaze of everyone.

Just as Bai Lang had said before, this building was the branch of the Adventurer's Guild located in the royal capital. It was an agency responsible for receiving adventurers, and only experts in hunting monsters would visit.

Because of this, all those who come and go here are adventurers carrying weapons or wands.

These people either travel alone or in groups, forming a complete team of adventurers according to their respective professions.

Among the currently active adventurer teams in the kingdom, it is rare to see a combination of two warriors. Therefore, when Bai Lang and Deng Yougang walked into the hall of the Adventurer's Guild, the adventurers who had already arrived here cast their eyes on them.

Of course, in addition to the combination of two warriors, what also attracted everyone's attention was the mithril medals they wore and their recently rising reputation.

"…It's the Mithril-level adventurers 'Blue Sword' and 'Silver Spear'!"

A dusty middle-aged adventurer let out a low cry, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the two people who had just walked in.

The other adventurers who knew about the two's deeds also looked away and went about their own business as if nothing had happened.

An acquaintance nearby glanced at the two men's backs and asked curiously, "Blue Sword? Silver Spear? I've never heard of it..."

The middle-aged adventurer glanced at him and whispered, "You just came back from the Bahas Empire, so it's normal that you don't know them. They are top adventurers who have only started to be active near the capital in the past half month."

"It is said that both of them have the strength of fine steel level, but they have only been registered for a short time, so they are still at the mithril level..."

The acquaintance exclaimed, "Adamantium grade? Really? That's the strongest among the adventurers!"

The middle-aged adventurer said unhappily, "What do you think? He was able to advance from the lowest bronze level to the mithril level in just half a month. With this kind of strength, it's only a matter of time before he becomes an adamantium-level adventurer..."

Such whispered discussions were common in the Adventurer's Guild, but Deng Yougang and Bai Lang didn't care.

After all, being an adventurer is just Bai Lang’s hobby!

When the interest wears off, the so-called adventurer level will no longer be meaningful to them.

“Bang!”

Bai Lang excitedly put the bag in his hand on the counter, looked at the surprised woman behind the counter and asked, "The mission to defeat the Eastern Giant in the Tob Forest has been completed. Miss, can you please help us check if the merits of completing the mission are enough to upgrade to the bronze level?"

"Finished...finished?"

The lady at the counter widened her eyes and said in disbelief, "You just took the job last night, right?"

Bai Lang stretched and said with a smile: "Yes, I am a little tired after traveling all night. Can this beautiful lady help us complete the formalities as soon as possible so that we can go back to the hotel and rest?"

Looking at Bai Lang's handsome and heroic face, the lady at the counter blushed and nodded repeatedly.

Bai Lang smiled as he opened the bag, glancing at the charred head inside and said, "This is the head of the monster 'Eastern Giant'. This guy is a special combat ogre, with strength comparable to that of an adamantium-level adventurer. No wonder he can become the Eastern Lord of the Tob Great Forest."

"Oh, and this one."

As he spoke, Bai Lang seemed to remember something and placed a giant sword on the counter: "This is the weapon of the Eastern Giant, a magical giant sword that can change according to the user's body shape. With these two things, it should be enough to prove that we have completed the mission, right?"

“…”

The lady at the counter stared at the giant sword and the head in a daze, swallowed her saliva, and nodded repeatedly, "Enough, enough!"

Not long after, Bai Lang and Deng Yougang sat in the rest area in the corner of the Adventurer's Guild.

The former happily took off the mithril-level medal on his arm armor, and then replaced it with the newly acquired orichalcum-level medal.

"Very good, now we are only one step away from the highest grade of fine steel!"

Deng Yougang looked at him helplessly and said, "You really care about this thing."

Bai Lang said seriously: "Of course, I worked hard to get this... Don't you have any sense of accomplishment?"

"Well... a little, but not much."

"Ha ha!"

Bai Lang smiled and put his arm around Deng Yougang's shoulders, winking and saying, "I heard that there is a sex shop with orc girls in the capital. Do you want to go there and have some fun?"

"Orc Girl Custom Shop?"

Deng Yougang frowned slightly and said, "Isn't that the brothel opened by Eight Fingers?"

Bai Lang was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Eight fingers, what eight fingers?"

Seeing his reaction, Deng Yougang immediately understood that this guy really had never read the "Guide" and his understanding of Li Yestije was really limited to his adventurer experience in the past half month.

Thinking of this, Deng Yougang couldn't help but sigh and whispered, "Eight Fingers is an organization that dominates the underground world of the Kingdom of Li Yestije. It has underground power that threatens a country. Their name is taken from the subordinate god of the God of Earth - the God of Thieves. This god has only eight fingers and his power is theft. Therefore, he is regarded as a belief by many criminals."

"The name Eight Fingers also comes from this. They control eight departments: slave trading, assassination, smuggling, theft, drug trafficking, bodyguards, finance, and gambling. They are considered the largest underworld group in the other world..."
