[Probiotic Fungi Culture Room]
This was an experimental cultivation room built solely by Lecturer Pasha.
Unlike the pathogenic fungi floating in the old sewers, the fungi here was beneficial to the human body.
Han Dong had been lying in the fungal culture room for a full day.
His only goal was to [Strengthen the Flesh].
This was the method Han Dong had thought of for temporarily remedying his ‘Weak Flesh’ two days prior, through books and discussions with Instructor
Pasha.
It was to control the fungi and to let these probiotic fungi temporarily take root inside Han Dong’s body.
Add a fungal protective layer to the surface of organs, enhance organ vitality, and provide protection.
Add tough mycelium into flesh, strengthening the interaction between muscle cells.
Mix a kind of lubricant spore into the blood to increase vascular permeability and the efficiency of oxygen transmission in the blood…
It sounds high-end and the operation is complicated. The risk of rooting probiotics in the body is not small… The final result is only to barely improve Han Dong’s physique to that of a normal person.
But it seems worth the effort.
At least Han Dong wouldn’t run out of breath after a two-step run or sweat profusely after a two-fold swing of a fist.
“Although the progress seems not so great, it is actually of significant meaning to me.”
Just as Han Dong had stepped out of the lab, the winding device on his wrist vibrated.
Only three people had the contact information of Han Dong.
Cass, Mrs. Pasha, and his own sister Nina.
“Hello, who is this?”
“It’s great to hear your voice, Andwa! I have a high-reward bounty task here, are you interested in collaborating to execute it? The final bounty should be similar to the one we accidentally discovered in the ‘Ghoul Nest’… and there are extra rewards.”
If it were someone else’s invitation, Han Dong, who was currently at a crucial point in his studies, wouldn’t have gone.
But Cass was different.
For the[Fate Space]to be opened in a week, Han Dong had decided to form a team with familiar and capable Cass… It wouldn’t hurt to meet in advance.
Anyway, his body enriched with probiotic fungi was completed and he happened to be available.
“Where do we meet?”
“You can come to the[Adventurer’s Guild], and I will wait for you there… This is a medium-sized bounty task, which requires prior discussion.”
“Okay, wait for me.”
After putting away the device.
Given Han Dong’s rapid progress, which far exceeded Pasha’s expectations, and there being enough time, taking a day off was not a problem.
“You have to come back in time before tomorrow.”
“Sure.”
Han Dong took the elevator back to the surface.
When he breathed the fresh air on the ground again, he felt an unprecedented freshness filling his whole body.
Although Han Dong could endure life in the[Old Sewers], staying down there for a long time was unbearable for common folk.
As Han Dong passed through the cemetery, his personal butler, Aggie, crawled out from the ground again.
In the large cemetery, whoever moved in would be assigned a lifetime butler, who would be an apprentice knight only for directions, introductions, and basic life assistance.
Aggie pulled up a zombie horse, decaying flesh and bone coexisting, from somewhere, and through a peculiar language, he let the horse take Han Dong to the[Adventure Guild].
When the horse drove out of the Dark Moon Forest, the gloomy oppressive feeling disappeared.
Han Dong then switched to the ‘bird’s beak doctor’s outfit’, the mask and robe covered his whole body, hiding his identity.
The so-called[Adventurer’s Guild]was located at the intersection of Central Street of the academy.
A giant building perfectly combines brass and stone. A huge metal plaque hung on the main gate, with two emblems stamped on it.
One was the Knight’s Emblem with ‘Two Swords Crossed Over the Head of a White Horse’.
The other one was the ‘Bounty Permit Emblem’ with ‘one dagger stuck in the center of the bounty order’.
This emblem was issued by the Royal Parliament, and only the guild, church, or local organizations awarded this emblem would be eligible to issue a bounty order to the Apprentice Knights.
The guild building had seven floors, but each floor was a full ten meters high… It belonged to the largest and most magnificent building on Central Street.
Every day when a new batch of bounty tasks was updated, there would be a lot of Apprentice Knights waiting at the door.
After all, Apprentice Knights in the development stage generally lacked money.
Copper coins could buy some necessities of life.
In special markets, special trading areas, some magical items could be bought, and even some people sold items brought out from Fate Space.
And the prices of these special items were high.
“Mystery Scholar! Would you like to join our team to complete a two-star difficulty bounty task together? The target is two ordinary gargoyles, and we need to act at night.’
Han Dong, in his standard bird’s beak doctor’s outfit, obviously stood out and was one of the elite students in the College of Mysticism.
As soon as he got off the horse, he was invited by a hulking man draped in animal skin.
“Sorry, I already have plans with a friend.”
After simply declining, Han Dong stepped into the hall of the Adventure Guild.
Currently, over a hundred people were gathered here, either picking bounty tasks from the bulletin board or recruiting temporary team members after having chosen a task.
Han Dong, who was heading towards the stairs, paused halfway there.
Han Dong had only been to the Knight Academy for a week and was stayed in the[Old Sewers Jall day, so he knew very few people… but now he saw a familiar face.
“Mia Seminovich.”
At a round table in the corner, Han Dong saw a girl at his same grade level who had passed the college test with a score of 93—an enthusiastic battle-hardened girl.
On the eve of the tutor selection, Mia had actively distributed herbal pastes to other injured Apprentice Knights, which left a good impression on Han Dong.
“She has come to the[Adventurer’s Guild]to carry out tasks shortly after the start of the semester… Maybe like me, she gained two Fate Points from the novice event.”
While Mia was chatting with her companions, she felt someone’s gaze and immediately looked towards the staircase door.
However, by then, Han Dong had already turned his head, and he left going up the stairs.
Due to the bird’s beak outfit, Mia couldn’t see through Han Dong’s identity.
“A Mysticism Scholar? Which senior is that?”
Mia didn’t think much about it and continued to chat with her companions.
“To be able to set up a private room in the Adventurer’s Guild, it seems that this Cass is not the same as other Apprentice Knights.”
Han Dong came to the Adventurer’s rest room on the second floor.
He just stretched out his hand to knock on the door.
However, the door immediately opened and a powerful arm stretched out, hitched Han Dong’s neck, and dragged him in forcefully.
“Andwa! Long time no see… I have really missed you.
How you’ve been lately?? A top student like you, must be having a comfortable time in the Mysterious Department, huh? Haha.”
Cass was too enthusiastic.
He directly pulled Han Dong to the seat next to him, all the while maintaining a ‘hook over his shoulder,’ attentively asking about Han Dong’s recent situation.
This scene made the young girl Fiya in the team pout, her face all but spelling ‘jealous’..
