"What? Isn't this the first time those bandits have come here?" Qi Ji thought that the law enforcement forces in this country... at least in this city, were too poor. "Oh, just counting the ones I know of, there have been three times!" The aunt gritted her teeth in anger, "I don't know if it's the same group of people, but they make trouble every now and then, and each time they kill several people, and they get away every time! It's really a sin." "Thanks to you, these guys finally learned a lesson." The aunt said with a look of great gratitude, "You were so impressive just now, even more impressive than the knights of the church!" "And very beautiful!" the little girl shouted loudly. This girl seemed to have a special obsession with the word "beautiful"... After hearing the aunt's praise, Qi Ji suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have a clear understanding of his own strengths. So far, I haven't encountered anyone stronger than myself... No, strictly speaking, there is no one who can even pose a threat to me. No matter whether it was an alien skeleton ghost or an ordinary human bandit, in her eyes they were all just rotten fish and shrimp, too weak to be taken seriously by her. But she didn't dare to pat her chest and guarantee that she was really invincible. That would be too arrogant and irrational. By the way, Lunxi seemed to have said that there is an organization like the Adventurer’s Guild in Stio, and most of its members are extraordinary people. Why don’t we go over and take a look?
As long as you use the average strength of the extraordinary people in this world as a reference, you can evaluate your own level and get a more reasonable position. "Auntie, do you know how to get to the Adventurer's Guild in the city?" Qi Ji asked. As a local, she should know this better. Chapter 7 Adventurers Guild "Where are you going?" The aunt looked upward and thought for half a second. "There is only one in the North District. I don't know where it is exactly. I have never been there." "But I heard from others that the place is quite eye-catching and you can find it easily in the North District." She picked up a dozen intact apples from the messy counter, wrapped them in oil paper, and handed them over: "Hey, it's a small gift. You must accept it!" Qi Ji didn't hesitate to take it and held it in his arms. The package was so big that it hit his neck. In order to keep his balance, Qi Ji could only hold it down with his chin. "You are so pretty." Staring deeply at Qi Ji's hands holding the oil-paper bag, the aunt suddenly smiled, a smile full of maternal radiance, "You are prettier than the eldest daughter of Master Iris's family. I have never seen a girl as pretty as you. Look at your hands, so white and tender, you can't tell at all that you are so strong." Qi Ji still felt a little embarrassed by being praised so directly. He turned his head away sheepishly, said goodbye to the aunt and her daughter briefly, and walked north with Apple in his arms, heading for the so-called "North District". In the middle, she threw the package into the air, freed her hands in the few seconds to quickly put on her hood, and then steadily caught the package that had just fallen, perfectly unloading the force with smooth movements. "To be honest, this apple is really sweet." To pass the time, she poked a hole in the oil paper and took out apples from the paper as she walked. She ate one after another and the bag became increasingly empty. It took me half an hour to walk slowly from the East District to the North District. I had eaten all four or five pounds of apples, and only a piece of crumpled oil paper was left in my hand. "I don't feel full at all... How can I eat so much!?" Touching his still flat and soft stomach, Qi Ji felt that his appetite was a mystery. As she moved deeper into the North District, the buildings became denser, and the shapes and workmanship became more sophisticated. Obviously, the North District was the more affluent urban area. It may be that most of the residents here have relatively high incomes, and a one or two-week salary cut does not have a particularly big impact on basic life, so fewer people stay at home to prevent the epidemic. There are obviously many more pedestrians on the streets than in the East District, and the number and types of various stores and shops are also increasing. Although the population density cannot be compared with that of cities on Earth. "Hmm? That's the Adventurer's Guild? It's really conspicuous. I don't even need to ask for directions." She saw from a distance that the roof style was different from the surrounding buildings. When she got closer, she saw that it was a three-story building with an exterior style that looked like a bar or karaoke hall. There was a plaque hanging above the main door in the middle, which read:
The Guild of the Fearless. Most importantly, Qi Ji could sense that there were a lot of strange fluctuations in this building. This kind of fluctuation could not be captured by the traditional five senses, but Qi Ji could feel it very clearly. Just like it is impossible to describe colors to a congenitally blind person, she was unable to describe this feeling in words... This is a sixth sense that ordinary people do not have, and Qi Ji calls it "inspiration." The vibrations gathered in the mansion are not emitted by ordinary people. They are "spiritual" vibrations, which are unique to extraordinary people. Lanchester and Lunxi also have such vibrations. A place where a large number of extraordinary people gather, there should be no other place except the Adventurer's Guild. "This is it." Qi Ji pushed the door open. As soon as I entered the door, I saw more than a dozen men in different clothes and figures sitting at several large round tables. Some were drinking and chatting, while others were feasting on the food. The atmosphere was very lively and the scene was very much like a banquet at the entrance of a village. I don’t know why these grown men dare to gather together when the epidemic is spreading. I guess it’s because this kind of mundane disease cannot infect extraordinary people. "Ah, a familiar pattern!" It's exactly like a bar! Qi Ji looked at the wall on the left. There was a large wooden board hanging on it, and the board was covered with papers, each with words written on it. "Is this... an order panel?" I walked over and picked one at random, and saw the words handwritten on it: [Commission Difficulty: D- [Client: On Street No. 3 in the East District, the third shop from east to west is a bakery, and there is an old lady named Harrison inside. [Commission content: Mrs. Harrison's cat is missing. It is a thin black and white cat with a scar on its forehead. It is very old. It probably disappeared on the 27th. [Reward: 63 Ferum] The language used is quite colloquial and the handwriting is illegible. One can imagine that the person who wrote this order form did not put any effort into it. This commission is at the bottom of the wooden board, which is also the layer with the most orders. The content is basically daily trivial matters like this, and the remuneration is within 150 Ferums. Although I don't understand the monetary system of the Templar State for now, I can guess that this is not a very large number. It is obvious that the order placement rule is that the greater the difficulty, the higher the position, with the lowest being D- and the highest being B+, with a total of six levels. The higher you go, the fewer the number is, and there is only one copy of the top B+ level. I don't know why there is no A, maybe this guild is not big enough. "Are there any requests that require fighting?" Qi Ji thought about it while looking at the only B+ grade commission—— [Commission difficulty: B+ [Client: Browning, a big honey merchant, located on the first floor of Tulip Townhouse, 8th floor, Cairns Street, North District. [Commission content: Mr. Browning needs a personal bodyguard, who must be a warrior at the initial stage of tempering skills, 160 to 170 cm tall, plump, fair skin, handsome face, obey the employer's orders and have good stress resistance, and have certain service experience. 【Remuneration: Basic salary 3000 Ferum/week, details to be negotiated. 】
Ah this. It can be seen that high-level commissions are not only more formally worded, but also paid a lot more, but the content... doesn't look serious at all! "Isn't it embarrassing to have a mistress at the highest level..." Qi Ji covered his face, speechless. He almost lost confidence in this Adventurer's Guild. Forget it, relax and look at other things! The eyes moved to the second floor, which was where the B-level commissions were. This was much more normal, mostly serious escort and protection missions. One of them caught Qi Ji's attention: [Commission Difficulty: B- [Client: Dirichlet, cotton merchant, unit 2, fourth floor, Narcissus Apartment, Abel Street, North District. [Commission content: The caravan on the second trade route has been repeatedly attacked by powerful alien species, and it is suspected to be the same one. If so, its level may be B-level. In order to prevent the caravan from continuing to suffer losses, it is urgent to investigate the specific situation of the alien species. If possible, please completely eliminate it. Please contact the guild staff for detailed information after accepting the order. [Reward: 1000 Ferums if you can provide valid information; 3000 Ferums if you can provide conclusive information; 15000 Ferums if you can kill the alien. Deaths and injuries are not included.] A request to defeat alien species! The reward seems to be quite high, but that is not the point. The point is that the level of this alien species may reach B level, and the strongest enemy that Qi Ji has encountered so far is the C-level alien species, the Skull Ghost. "Although it's only one level higher, there might be a qualitative change. It's worth a try!" Qi Ji made a decision immediately and reached out to pull the commission... I tried to stand on tiptoe, but my fingertips were still a few centimeters away from the list. "hiss!" She jumped up and angrily pulled out the order slip, holding it in her hand! "Little girl, what are you doing?" A rough voice came from behind, and a muscular man wearing leather armor and carrying a big knife came over, "Don't mess around, this is not a place to play games." In fact, not long after Qi Ji came in, someone noticed her. Although she was wearing a cloak and a hood, her petite and slender figure, and the occasional jade-like arms that appeared from under the cloak, revealed part of her appearance. It's hard not to notice a petite girl among a group of burly men. "That's right, little sister, don't touch the things on that wall." The lady behind the counter also reminded with a smile, "Come over here, we have juice for sale here, and the iced sweet tea is also delicious." Qi Ji suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to explain it. He could only walk to the counter with the order form in his hand and put it on the table: "I've accepted this order. Is there any procedure to follow?" Chapter 8 There are so many things to do... The crowd was silent for several seconds, and then burst into earth-shaking laughter: "Hahahahahaha!" "Hahaha, girl, you're so cute!" The muscular man holding his stomach laughed, "I really wish you were my sister! Can I take you home?" The lady boss took the order form from the table while holding back her laughter, folded it and put it in a storage box beside her, then bent down and took out a cup of dark red clear drink from under the counter: "Here, iced sweet tea!" "...I'm serious." Qi Ji's face was full of black lines. Hearing this, the young lady's smile faded a little, and she warned seriously: "Little sister, combat commissions are not heroic games, they are very dangerous." "No, I'm not kidding." Qi Ji's tone also became very serious, "Don't treat me like a child, I'm an adult, I'm already twenty years old."
This is not a lie. Qi Ji was in her twenties in her previous life, and her physical changes did not affect her mental age. "Uh..." The young lady looked down at Qi Ji suspiciously, who was just at the tip of her nose, and didn't know what to say for a moment. She took out the order form from the storage box, unfolded it and read it again, then said very seriously: "This is a B-level combat mission. The enemy is likely a B-level alien species. Do you know what this means? Even a warrior at the peak of righteousness dare not take it lightly! There is absolutely no room for showing off. If you are not strong enough, you will definitely be killed by it." "But I'm really good at fighting." Qiji Loli scratched her head, "Don't worry about that." "Then do you have our membership card?" the young lady asked doubtfully. "W-what card?" Another unfamiliar word. The young lady pulled out a card that looked like a business card from under the counter and placed it in front of Qi Ji's desk. It was blank: "It's the certificate for joining our Fearless Guild. It looks like this. Only if you have it can you place orders with us. If you don't have it, you can register." "Oh, I don't have one. How long will it take to register now?" The young lady held the blank membership card and shook it a few times: "It's just a registration. It will be quick and I will give it to you in person." "That's fine. I'll register now and I can take orders after I'm done, right?" Qi Ji thought that this efficiency was quite high. "Of course you can, but..." The young lady frowned slightly and looked Qi Ji up and down, "Do you have proof of your ability?" Why another certificate? Is this the end? Seeing that Qi Ji said nothing, the young lady probably guessed what she was thinking and rubbed her forehead: "It's the evaluation certificate of your strength. Without it, it's impossible to register as an adventurer anywhere." "From your reaction I know there are none left... If you want to obtain a certificate of strength you must participate in the church's official assessment, which is usually held in the city's central square." She continued, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's held once a year. There's still more than a month to go before the next round of assessments. You can go and try then. Remember to bring your ID card." One month! ? Do you still need to take the official examination? Normally, don't you just press your hand on some detector and that's it? And she also asked for an ID card, but she didn’t have one! This is too troublesome... The public security management in this country is so poor, but these aspects are so perfect. "Forget it, forget it. I'll go find Lunxi in a few days. She should be able to handle this kind of thing." Qi Ji felt a headache just thinking about it, so he simply gave up on continuing to pester the Adventurer's Guild and prepared to use his connections. "Hey, little girl," the muscular man with a knife on his back, who had finally stopped laughing, saw that Qi Ji was about to leave, wiped his tears and came forward, "If you really want to be an adventurer, I might be able to help you." "Hmm? What do you mean?" Qi Ji was really curious. "This guild supports borrowing membership identities," he grinned. "You can accept commissions in my name. If you complete them, the points will belong to me, but I can give you all the remuneration. With the guild as the notary, you don't have to worry about me pocketing the money." And such good things? She didn't really care about the reward, after all, she could get money from Lunxi's house. But it was hard not to be alert when this muscular man showed his courtesy. "But I can't help you for nothing." As expected, he changed the subject and began to negotiate conditions, "Let's have a competition. If you can defeat me... No, as long as you can touch my chest, you will win. If you win, I will help you!"
What kind of strange request is this? Qi Ji sensed the spiritual fluctuations on the muscular man. He was stronger than Lanchester, but that was all. At most, he was equivalent to two or three skull ghosts. He could not be her opponent. But she still asked: "What if I lose?" The muscular man crossed his arms and said in a mean way: "Then you can only run home to find your mother~" You deserve a beating.
