Chapter 49

Ramaegion, Adventurers Guild.

As usual, today's Adventurers Guild was as noisy as ever.

In the hall on the first floor, adventurers wearing all kinds of equipment and carrying all kinds of weapons gathered together as if to vent their emotions. They gobbled down meat and gulped down wine. This seemed to have become the norm.

Of course, there were also people gathered in front of the bulletin board, selecting various commissions. The guild staff also had queues in front of the counter. This was also one of the reasons why it was so lively.

It was only at a certain moment that the noise in the guild decreased significantly.

The reason was simple.

That was because an eye-catching party had appeared in the hall on the first floor of the guild.

"Look, Vivian's party is back."

"Oh? That was fast this time. "

"Miss Vivian is still as beautiful as ever."

"Sister Merica is also so beautiful. As expected of an elf."

"Little Lumia is also cute, right?"

"Hey, keep your voices down. If Tierre hears you, you'll be in trouble."

"As expected, the women in that team are all too beautiful."

"I really want to join that party."

"Look, that newbie is still in there."

"Looks like he didn't do anything to disgust people."

"What a lucky guy."

Amidst such discussions, Shien and his party returned to the Adventurers Guild and stepped into the hall again.

Sean could naturally hear the discussions around him, and could also feel the judgmental and even piercing gazes. He silently shrugged his shoulders for himself in his heart.

(As expected, there's nothing new about them.)

Shien no longer took it seriously.

As for Vivian's party, they seemed to have gotten used to such gazes. They ignored the people around them and went straight to a counter.

"Welcome back, Miss Vivian."

The guild member immediately stood up and expressed his condolences to Vivian.

"Yes, we're back." Vivian responded with a gentle smile, but her words went straight to the point. "We've completed the task that we previously accepted."

With that, Vivian gestured to Merica who was beside her.

"This is mid-sized mana spring water, a total of three bottles. We've also collected the skin of the Fire Lizards." Merica placed a package on the counter and said politely, "Please inspect it."

"Alright, three bottles of mid-sized mana spring water and 30 Fire Lizards' skin. We've indeed received them." The guild staff glanced at the package and confirmed the items. It was unknown whether it was because he trusted Vivian's party or because he had the ability to quickly confirm the materials. "In addition, the Guild has also confirmed from the merchant caravan that all the Bloodsucking Vines on the main road to Fresia have been cleared. The three missions you've accepted have been confirmed."

This efficiency was truly high. As expected of the Adventurers Guild that had influence all over the world.

The guild staff pushed out a tray filled with dazzling gold coins.

"Gold-ranked commission – 'Spring Water Collection' – reward is 20 gold coins."

"Silver-ranked commission – Fire Lizard Skin – Reward: 10 gold coins."

"Silver rank mission – Eliminate Blood-sucking Vines – Reward is also 10 gold coins."

"A total of 40 gold coins, please confirm."

Hearing this, Vivian nodded. She kept the gold coins and passed them to Merica while conversing with the guild staff.

"Are there any requests for the scales of the Lizards, the horns of the Thorny Horned Monsters, and the venom sacs of the Bristled Spiders?"

"There's a request for the horns of the Thorny Horned Monsters. Although there's no request for the venom sacs of the Bristled Spiders, the Potion Workshop on the west side of the street seems to need ingredients that contain poison. The apprentices will come to the Guild regularly to issue requests. Next time, we can just give them to them. There's no need for the scales of the Lizards."

"What about the eyeballs of the Purple-Eyed Beasts, the heart of the Gargoyle, and the tendon of the Sharp-Toothed Salamander?"

"Apologies, someone brought the eyeballs of the Purple-eyed Beasts this morning. The tendons of the Sharp-toothed Salamanders were still in stock in the guild warehouse, so we handed them over. However, the heart of the Gargoyle is a rare ingredient. There will be many who want it, and it might appear at any time. When the time comes, we'll trade with them."

"Thank you, we still have some materials here."

"It's alright, these are high-grade materials for monsters. There's a huge demand for them, and soon someone will come to ask for them."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Alright."

Vivian chatted smoothly with the guild staff. She had Lumia, who was carrying a backpack that was larger than her, step forward and hand it over to the guild staff.

"What's going on?"

Shien was a little puzzled.

To his surprise, Tierre, who had been silent all this while, answered Shien's question.

"That's to confirm if there's a need for the materials we've collected." Tierre said calmly, "Because adventurers often encounter monsters that are unrelated to the mission and collect their materials. Although these materials are not within the scope of the mission, the guild might receive a commission to collect these materials or to defeat such monsters. Therefore, adventurers can usually report to the guild at this time and complete the commission that they haven't received yet."

Shien immediately understood.

It made sense. If adventurers collected materials from other monsters during an adventure, and the guild received a commission to collect these materials, they could hand over the materials after the mission was completed and earn extra remuneration for the commission.

Even if there weren't any commissions to collect these materials at the moment, it wasn't certain that there wouldn't be any in the future. Therefore, adventurers would also hand over some of the materials to the guild for management, so that the guild could directly hand over the materials to the guild and complete the commission.

"There are some who don't do this. They will bring the materials they collect to the shops in the town and sell them in exchange for money. It all depends on the individual."

Tierre said in a monotonous voice.

"Our party usually hands over our materials to the guild. We'll only keep the materials that are relatively high-grade and valuable. If you feel that this isn't appropriate, you can make a suggestion to Vivian. Vivian will calculate the portion of the materials that needs to be given to you and let you handle it yourself. This is our party's policy."

That's quite humane.

Shien thought about it and said, "I don't have any objections. Let's do it this way."

Tierre nodded and did not say anything else.

Not long after, Vivian, who had dealt with the commission and materials, came back with Lumia and Merica.

"We were quite lucky. There were a few materials that were needed, so we completed a few additional commissions and received 60 gold coins as remuneration."

Vivian smiled and said with a bag of money that had been distributed.

"We've received a total of 100 gold coins from this mission. Each of us can get exactly 20 gold coins as remuneration. Here, keep it well."

With that, Vivian handed the four bags of money to each of them.

"This money is really easy to earn."

With this thought in mind, Shien stretched out his hand to the bag of money that was handed to him.

At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and snatched the bag of money that Vivian was about to hand to Shien.

"It's not good for a newcomer to receive so much remuneration. Why don't you treat everyone to a drink?"

A voice full of laughter rang out and entered everyone's ears.
