A Genius in a Second Remember Love? The web provides you with exciting novels to read.

[Entering Single Player Dungeon]

[Difficulty: Fourth Dungeon]

[Background: Herbert the Scholar is heading to Isogu City for an archaeological expedition. He has heard of your reputation and has invited you to join the archaeological team as his bodyguard …]

[Main Mission: Explore at least 20% of Isogu City in 4 weeks]

[Temporary Language Pack, Disappears upon exiting the dungeon]

[Clothing, backpack, weapons, and other items remain unchanged. Temporary appearance changes, returns to normal upon exiting the dungeon]

[Detected firearms and grenades do not match the dungeon's era, damage decreased by 50%, handgun reloading speed + 1 second, sniper reloading speed + 30 seconds]

[Hint: This is your fourth official dungeon. You can fail the Main Mission, but you will have to pay 400 Points as a penalty and your highest attributes will drop by 1 level. When your points are insufficient, your equipment will be deducted. When your equipment is insufficient, you will fail the game!]

...

The white light faded away.

Kieran scanned the room he was in.

There was a square window on his left that was made of wooden planks.

It was fully open, and the warm sunlight shone in from the west, filling the room that was only about 10 square meters in size.

The room was not big, so other than a single bed, a bedside table, and a closet, there was no other furniture.

His backpack was leaning against the wardrobe, and after checking, nothing was missing.

There was a newspaper and a half-burned candle on the bedside table.

"No electricity.

Or maybe electricity isn't popular yet. "

Kieran took a glance at the candle and picked up the newspaper.

Herl City Morning News.

22。

The first page of the newspaper told him where he was and when he was.

Other than that, Kieran went through the newspaper and discarded a lot of useless information, but he found a few valuable clues in Kieran's eyes.

"Gold Appears in Isogu City Again"

"Gold Craze Reappears"

"Herbert the Scholar is Heading to Isogu City"

"Herbert Hiring: Bodyguard to Isogu City"

...

There were only two pieces of information in total.

First, there was gold in Isogu City, which attracted a lot of people.

Second, Herbert the Scholar had hired Kieran to be his bodyguard and was planning to hire more bodyguards.

However, there was something that Kieran was more concerned about.

"Guard?"

"Have you heard of my reputation?"

Kieran sat down on the single bed and unconsciously looked at the character tab.

[Reputation: 10]

It was obvious that this had played a role.

"Better integrate into the dungeon?"

Kieran looked at the recruitment notice in the newspaper again.

Obviously, if he didn't have this reputation, he would need to compete with more competitors.

What if it failed?

The main mission was not considered a failure.

The Main Quest this time was to explore at least 20% of Isogu City within four weeks. It did not specify who he was to explore with. He could explore alone.

Therefore, even if he failed in the competition, he would not fail the main mission, but he would be greatly affected. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net





For a player who only had simple memories and did not know the history, culture, and geography of a dungeon world, exploring 20% of Isogu City was an impossible task.

Unless the temporary language provided by the system included the language of Isogu City.

However, judging from the temporary language that he had acquired, it was impossible for that to happen.

Of course, this did not stop Kieran from joining Herbert the Scholar's team to learn more about Isogu City and the dungeon world.

After all, Kieran had another guess in his mind.

"Is Isogu City related to [Mystical Knowledge]?"

It was a baseless guess.

It was not even a hunch.

It was just a hunch though.

If there was a chance to level up his [Mystical Knowledge], Kieran would not let it go.

Kieran picked up his backpack and walked out of the room, heading to the first floor.

The information before him made it impossible for Kieran to determine whether or not there was a public library in the city, but Kieran believed that Herbert, who had the title of Scholar, must have some books.

That was enough for Kieran.

As a matter of fact?

The number of books in the house had far exceeded Kieran's expectations.

Compared to the second floor, which was filled with guest rooms, the first floor was occupied by Herbert's study room, which was larger than the rest of the guest room.

Compared to the guest rooms, the guest room could only be considered bigger.

How big was it?

It could fit six to seven people!

That was the conclusion Kieran came up with after sizing it up.

More?

Sorry, I'll have to go through the narrow corridor.

You can't walk side by side.

You can only stand alone, and when you walk past someone, you have to step aside to let them pass.

The narrow space was just to make room for Herbert's book collection.

If there was one advantage, it would be that Kieran would not get lost anymore.

There was only one corridor in such a big house, and it was a blessing for anyone who did not have a good sense of direction.

From one end of the corridor to the other, Herbert's study room was right in front of him.

The door wasn't closed tightly, so the conversation in the study room could be heard from far away.

Thanks to his outstanding Intuition, Kieran clearly heard the conversation when he came down the stairs.

Now, he could hear it even clearer.

"Leave this place!

I don't welcome you gangsters and robbers! "

A slightly old but vigorous voice rang out.

"Gangsters? Robbers?

We are here to apply for the bodyguard job!

Isn't this the news that you, Scholar Herbert, published? "

The young and frivolous voice replied with a smile.

"I did publish it!

"But I'm hiring guards, real guards!"

Not a bunch of extorting, robbing, and committing all sorts of evil!

Now, leave this place!

Otherwise, I'll call the police! "

Herbert warned the young man.

However, it didn't work.

Quite the opposite, the young man laughed out loud in delight.

"Police?

You are quite a distance away from the station!

"How many bones do you think you'll have to break before the police arrive?"

The young man said in a threatening tone.

"Even if I have to break a few bones, I won't hire you!"

Herbert didn't have the slightest intention of retreating and faced his opponent head-on.

"Don't tell me you don't even care about your trip to Isogu City?

You know that's gold! "

The young man's threats turned into temptations.

"Isogu City isn't about gold!

Besides, that's not why I'm willing to compromise with you bastards!

I'd rather break a few bones than give you a single cent! "

However, regardless of whether it was coercion or temptation, Herbert did not compromise at all.

Kieran had a good impression of the Scholar right away.

Moreover, he was worried that those guys would fly into a rage out of humiliation and cause unnecessary harm to Herbert, which would unnecessarily affect his main quest.

So, at the next moment …

Kieran raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock, Knock!

He pushed the door open and entered.
