Chapter 217: Adventurers Association

Lin Le followed the blond haired little Mars advice and went to the nearby chamber of commerce. Their sign had a picture of a fist and a coin. He slowly entered.

FrozenCloud went to the local division of the War Gods Temple.

As for Ye Cang, he stood at the entrance to a treehouse, blinking his eyes. He turned to see the large buildings that Lin Le and FrozenClouds instructors lived at. The War Gods Temple was made entirely of marble, a single glance was enough to tell it was high-end. He then turned back and looked at the hole in the tree, it was even more shoddy than a haunted house. With a sigh, he slowly walked in. What amazed Ye Cang was that the inside was spacious. He then saw a few grandpas and grandmas sitting at a wooden table, playing boardgames. It reminded him of the seniors activity center they use to frequent. He broke out in cold sweat and wanted to leave. I should just got the the mages association or War Gods Temple to see if I can change classes. Seeing them all look over at him, he rubbed his head, feeling embarrassed. My bad, Im at the wrong place

At this time, a wrinkled hand pressed down on Ye Cangs shoulder. Ye Cang turned and saw a kind looking granny. Young man, mm~ youre aptitude is good. Linda, bring him to get an ID

Umm Im really in the wrong place Ye Cang saw everyone smiling at him and tried to leave.

At this time a tall and beautiful woman, wearing a cyan mantle with long white legs and long white hair, who looked both fairy like and sisterly, walked down the stairs. She had some birds chirping around her. Ye Cang gasped. This pointy eared beautys chest might even be an N!? Looks like I underestimated this place

The white haired elven woman and Ye Can sized each other up. However, she was checking his body while he was unable to tear his eyes away from her jiggling chest.

Welcome, this is the adventurers association. Im the one in charge, Linda The white haired elven woman said indifferently.

Then Linda introduced the elders to him. They were all retired members of the adventurers association. Bale, Ken, Esse, Carina, as well as the one who just spoke with him was Black Rock Citys Adventurers Associations (Rangers Guild) branch manager - Ivy.

Ye Cang snapped out of his daze and once again wanted to change classes. Umm I

Linda interrupted him, Come with me

Linda brought the once again dazed Ye Cang to a room on the 2nd floor. The walls were covered in wanted posters, and mission postings. Linda explained the system to Ye Cang. These were separated into ranks. Once one has performed a certain amount of work for the association, one can start accepting better quests. Moreover, they were always being replaced. She then explained the ranks in the adventurers association (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Amethyst). The adventurers association was a neutral organization, specialized in gathering information, and performing various missions. Different from the assassins guild, the adventurers association accepted mainly quests to hunt dangerous creatures or solve unfathomable mysteries.

After her explanation, Linda reached out, as quick as lightning, handing Ye Cang a medal, not letting him refuse.

Congratulations! Youve become a member of the adventurers associations. Prestige - friendly

To him, the system message sounded like Congratulations! Youve become a member of the seniors activity center. Ye Cang was immediately astonished. He felt like a tourist that had been scammed into joining a sketchy organization.

I know what youre thinking. Uncle Bale and the others are like that now, but they were once renowned adventurers in Black Rock City, completing many S rank quests. Theyve even complete quests such as defending White Stone City from the Steel Empire. From now on, Ill be your trainer Lindas words pulled Ye Cang out of his despair. Since hes already joined, then theres probably nothing he can do. He took a look at the quests that he was qualified to take. As for this associations function, Ye Cang had no complaints. It was already pretty good that you could get some quests to kill bosses, but you really had to look for them. Most of the quests were things like help Lily find her missing puppy or the barber shops scissors outside the city.

Soon after, Linda passed on some skills to Ye Cang. He received 3 skills, 2 talents, as well as 2 talent points and 2 skillpoints.

Adventurers Medal (Bronze): +3 All Attributes. Can view bronze rank quests.

Hunters Mark (Rare - Beginner Level): Mark the target, allowing you to know its general location from a distance, and increases damage you deal to it by 5%. Cost: 3 mana, 10 energy. Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Ye Cang felt like these skills were pretty good. Especially the Tactics skill and Cloudwalk. If they ever had to escape again like in the tomb, it would definitely be much simpler. Following Linda, who could now be considered his master, back to the first floor, he looked closely at what these once formidable but now retired members were playing. Eh~ Monopoly Lele should have come here. His title of number one public enemy of all seniors activity centers wasnt just for show

Ok, youre now a member of the adventurers association. When you have time, come check out the mission postings. If you want a quest, just rip it off the board, and leave a signed message in its place. Remember to put my name as your trainer. Every month, Ill have to send your completed missions to headquarters. Also, the association will take 20% of your reward. Work hard. Linda said these meaningful and heartfelt words, then patted Ye Cangs shoulder. Her actions sent waves through her lethal weapons, making Ye Cang nod his head obediently. He even waved to the friendly retired adventurers, then walked out before suddenly realizing, what just happened!? He just now registered Lindas final words, looked at the sheepskin missions that had suddenly appeared in his hand, and broke out in cold sweat. Am I working for some company!? Doesnt this mean that after I finish a mission, I have to split the rewards with her!? He sighed, Who told me to get such a trainer. Im just an apprentice, and can only pretend to smile. Working in a virtual game really isnt simple. Hah~
