"I can't believe we managed to earn 200 Brass Coins in just one day!"
"This is simply unbelievable! Mr. James!"
Elise was carrying a small bag and spoke in amazement.
The bag that she was carrying was full of Brass Coins!
At this moment, James' eyes were filled with excitement. He looked at Elise and said excitedly, "This is nothing. Soon, you will know what it means to earn big money!"
Elise looked at him in confusion. She did not understand what he meant when he said that they would earn big money!
Since earning 200 Brass Coins a day was not considered big money…
In that case, they would have to earn 300 Brass Coins a day.
Soon, the young girl realized how poor her imagination was.
At the Adventurer's Hall…
Elise looked at the notices in the hall.
"Hunt the Giant Chaos Wolf. Commission: 20 Silver Coins!"
"Collect the Water of Resuscitation. Commision: 1 Gold Coin!"
"Protect Old Master Bayi for a week. Commission: 50 Silver Coins!"
…
The various kinds of missions almost blinded the young girl.
There seemed to be all kinds of missions, but they share one commonality.
It was that commissions were very high!
Apart from the missions at the bottom of the noticeboard, all the other missions were paid in Silver Coins.
Currency in the Alliance followed a centesimal system. In other words, 100 Brass Coins could be exchanged for one Silver Coin, and 100 Silver Coins could be exchanged for one Gold Coin!
Elise could not believe it when she saw such high commissions.
"Mr. James, can we accept the missions here?"
Now Elise finally knew what James meant by earning big money.
Compared to the missions in the Adventurer's Hall, earning 200 Brass Coins a day was indeed a small sum of money.
James faced the road ahead. When he heard the young girl's question, he did not turn back.
"Of course, as long as I register as an adventurer!"
James had been saving money for years.
This was because he wanted to become an adventurer.
However, to become an adventurer, he needed five Silver Coins to register at the Adventurer's Guild.
This was equivalent to 500 Brass Coins.
With his previous savings and the 200 Brass Coins he had obtained this time…
He now had enough money.
He had to thank the cultists for all of this. If they hadn't sent him a set of equipment and given him the courage to venture deep into the dense Kubak forest…
He didn't know how long it would take to earn 200 Brass Coins.
Especially when he had another family member.
Half an hour later…
A staff member handed James a badge representing his identity as an adventurer.
"Mr. James, from now on, you are officially an adventurer!"
"From now on, you can accept missions in the hall. You can also form or join an adventurer team!"
"Of course, with your current strength in the Silver rank, I don't recommend you to do so!"
"Of course, the choice is in your hands!"
James received his badge and nodded to indicate that he had understood.
The badge was silver and had the Adventurer's Guild logo on it.
The logo indicated that James had joined the Guild, while the silver symbol indicated his strength — Silver!
Silver was the term used by the Adventurer's Guild to determine the strength of an adventurer. From bottom to top, the ranks were Black Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and King!
Each rank was then further divided into nine levels.
James was determined to be at Level 3 Silver.
It was neither high nor low.
However, this was his strength after he had intentionally suppressed it.
Even though he didn't know his exact strength, he was definitely not much weaker than those Gold adventurers.
"Elise, let's go home!"
On his first day as an adventurer, James was in no hurry to accept a mission.
Instead, he took Elise home to rest first.
After all, they had been busy the entire day.
Moreover, it was already too late. Since there was a time limit for missions, it would be a waste of time if he accepted a mission now.
It was not worth it.
The next day, James woke up early.
Then, he went to the Adventurers Guild alone without waking Elise up.
The Adventurer's Guild was deserted in the early morning. There were only a few people, and even the staff inside were rather tired.
It was as if they had not slept well last night.
James ignored them. He went straight to the mission noticeboard and began scanning the missions from the top of the noticeboard.
"Eliminate the cultists in Saint Petersburg!"
"Investigate the residence of the Demon Cult!"
"Hunt a Giant Chaos Wolf!"
…
James scanned each mission.
He realized that the requirements of the missions were not simple.
Apart from the contents of the mission, each mission also indicated the specific requirements of each client and difficulty level of the mission.
The difficulty levels of missions were the same as the strength levels of adventurers.
In other words, the difficulty level of the mission and the recommended strength of adventurers were the same.
Of course, high difficulty-missions would naturally correspond to high commissions.
Take "Hunt a Giant Chaos Wolf!" as an example.
"Requirements: Offering a large sum of money for a Giant Chaos Wolf. Make sure it's safe and uninjured."
"Difficulty Level: Level 9 Gold!"
"Commission: 10 Silver Coins!"
"Note: The commission can be doubled if it's the cub of a Giant Chaos Wolf!"
The requirements from this person were not difficult. After all, the strength of the Giant Chaos Wolf was approximately Level 5 Silver.
There were many adventurers who could kill Giant Chaos Wolves, but it would be much more difficult to capture one alive.
But it wouldn't be too difficult either.
However, the hardest part of this mission was that it did not tell one where the Giant Chaos Wolf was. Thus, adventurers would have to find one themselves.
Therefore, there was a high chance that no one would accept this mission until there was concrete news about the Giant Chaos Wolf.
Some people would also take on this mission in passing.
However, there was a time limit for missions. Thus, every once in a while, the mission would return to the noticeboard.
James rubbed his chin as he looked at this mission.
"There's actually someone like me who wants to raise a Giant Chaos Wolf. Their taste is pretty good!"
"It's a pity that I killed the Giant Chaos Wolf a few days ago. That was worth 10 Silver Coins!"
Shaking his head, James looked away from this mission.
However, the more he looked at the missions, the more uncomfortable he felt.
His gaze continued to move downwards.
Finally, his gaze focused on a mission.
"Go to Black Earth Town to retrieve supplies!"
"Requirements: Head to Black Earth Town in the north of Saint Laurent City and retrieve the remaining resources at Gentleman Will's manor, especially the books on holy spells!"
"Difficulty Level: Level 5 Silver!"
"Commission: 1 platinum coin!"
This was it.
Without much hesitation, James finally chose this mission that was similar to escorting.
Although the commission wasn't high, it was short and could be completed quickly before returning home.
After all, the sacrificial array at home was still a problem.
Thus, he could not go too far on missions.
