Since the matter had already occurred, even if it was unavoidable, it had to be accepted.
Shane once again demonstrated his ability to accept things like this.
Moreover, Shane was just afraid of trouble, not afraid of matters, and certainly not timid, so there was no need to dwell on this issue.
Thus, Shane followed behind Vivian and the others, arriving at the guild's bulletin board, shielding his gaze from the surroundings to look at the situation on the board.
The bulletin board used by the adventurer's guild to post numerous quest sheets was really just a decorated wall.
There were sheets of parchment posted on it, each in different colors. Some were Black Iron, some bronze, some silver, some gold, and also platinum. However, the further the colors went, the fewer sheets there were and the higher they were posted.
In other words, on the bulletin board, Black Iron sheets were the most abundant and posted at the bottom, while platinum ones were the least and posted at the top.
Vivian began explaining to Shane.
"These are the quest sheets that have been filtered and posted by the guild. As you can see, each quest sheet has its own color, and those colors indicate the difficulty of the quest recorded on it."
Previously, the guild staff had also told Shane that there were levels of distinction among adventurers as well, from First Class Adventurer to Seventh Rank Adventurer. They would respectively be awarded Black Iron, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, mithril, and Black Luster medals by the adventurer's guild.
The guild produced quest sheets of the same materials as these medals, indicating the difficulty of the quest.
"Generally speaking, a First Class Adventurer with a Black Iron First-class Junior Medal can only accept Black Iron Level quests, and so forth. Of course, only a Fifth Class Adventurer with a Platinum Fifth-class Special Grade Medal can accept platinum quests."
"At the same time, lower-level adventurers cannot take on higher-level quests, but higher-level adventurers can take on lower-level quests. This is the system adopted by the guild."
"However, there are exceptions to everything. It is not impossible to accept quests higher than your level if you form an adventurer team and the team's strength is recognized by the guild. Only then can you accept higher-level quests."
Vivian said as such.
"In our team, under normal circumstances, we could only accept quests at the same level as the highest-level adventurer within the team. However, we are allowed by the guild to accept quests one level higher."
This is also why many adventurers are willing to form teams.
Firstly, having companions naturally makes it easier to carry out adventurous activities and makes adventures safer.
Secondly, forming a team allows for the privilege of accepting quests of a higher level.
"Of course, it's not enough to just form a team. If the members' strengths are uneven, or there are issues with cooperation, making it unable to form more effective combat power, the guild will not grant permission. Therefore, trying to find people who don't fit or just to pad numbers is not acceptable. Forming a team is a serious affair, related to treatment and achievement issues, so you must also consider it carefully in the future."
While saying this, Vivian continued with the explanation.
"Also, the higher the level of the quest, the more difficult it is to complete, and naturally, the reward is more generous. Have you noticed this already?"
Indeed, Shane had noticed this.
For example, now posted high at the top of the bulletin board was a platinum-level quest sheet with the following content.
—"Magic Potion of Undying"—
Task: Explore the ruins of ancient civilization located deep within the center of the Felucian Lake Swamp and bring back the legendary magic potion that grants undying life.
Reward: One hundred thousand gold coins.
This quest, both in content and reward, quite stimulated one's desires.
Not to mention the immense value of undying life for mortals with limited lifespans, just the reward of one hundred thousand gold coins was enough to drive countless people crazy.
In this world, a single copper coin could buy an apple, and one gold coin was equivalent to ten thousand copper coins. So, a hundred thousand gold coins was probably equivalent to billions in the previous life, right?
However, this was the highest-level quest on the bulletin board, and even among the platinum quests, it was one of the hardest and highest-rewarded sheets.
As for Black Iron Level quests, the rewards were much more approachable, ranging from several copper coins to several silver coins, and the quest content varied, including tasks from collecting herbs to searching for missing persons, making one sigh at the vast difference.
(If I hadn't joined the team, I probably could only accept quests of this level, right?)
Thinking of this, for the first time, Shane was grateful he joined this team.
"By the way." Shane suddenly realized something and asked Vivian a question, saying, "Aren't there mithril and Black Luster levels too? Why don't I see any quests of those levels?"
Hearing this, Vivian chuckled.
"Mithril and Black Luster levels are generally not posted on the bulletin board, right?" Vivian explained, "Mithril level quests usually involve matters directly related to the life and death of a town or a noble family, and they definitely won't appear casually. Black Luster level quests concern the fate of the nation, being the highest difficulty quests. Even if they appear, they would be conducted secretly, directly appointed to a named Seventh Rank Adventurer by the king or someone from the royal family. So, let alone in Lamijion, even in the royal capital's adventurer's guild, mithril and Black Luster level quest sheets won't easily appear."
Only then did Shane understand.
In other words, under normal circumstances, the highest-level quests only went up to platinum level, right?
Just as Shane figured this out, Vivian and the others began selecting quests, tearing them from the bulletin board to register with the guild staff at the counter.
Quests taken down from the bulletin board needed to be brought to the counter to process execution procedures. Only after being recognized by the guild staff would they be officially accepted.
Vivian's Team had torn off three quest sheets.
—"Collection of Spring Water"—
Task: Retrieve three bottles of spring water from a source of magic power. The source's scale must reach medium.
Reward: Twenty gold coins.
—"Fire Lizard Skin"—
Task: Go to the Mangar Mountain Range, where fire lizards dwell, hunt thirty fire lizards, and bring back their skin.
Reward: Ten gold coins.
—"Eliminate Bloodsucking Vine"—
Task: A large number of bloodsucking vines have grown on the main road leading to the northern town Freisia, causing great harm. Please clear them promptly.
Reward: Ten gold coins.
There were three quest sheets, one gold level and two silver levels.
And they were the type that could be completed within a short period.
