Chapter 432 Registering as an adventurer, a bizarre meeting request.
Broly moves freely through the treacherous Wanglong Mountains.
Unfortunately, after five days of searching in the Wanglong Mountains, Broly still couldn't find a magical beast baby like the Meow Meow Beast waiting for him.
Fortunately, Broly didn't come away empty-handed. Following the gentle reminders from the gods every night after they went to sleep, he managed to defeat the monsters that attacked him on the road and collect valuable materials from them.
"Once you leave the Wanglong Mountains, you will be in the territory of the Wanglong Kingdom. The Wanglong Kingdom is one of the two strongest countries on the Central Continent, second only to the Asura Kingdom. It has a vast territory, fertile land, and many rivers. Many small countries are dependent on it."
Tomorrow, after you leave the Wanglong Mountains, there is a town called Kur to the south. There lives a young lady from a noble family who is about to face a tragic fate. Perhaps you could go and see if she is your destined one...
The god was a good guide. Although he couldn't guide him in the Wanglong Mountains, he gave him a direction before he left the Wanglong Mountains.
The next day, Broly got up from the corpse of a bear-like magical beast, ate it for breakfast, and then headed to the town guided by the gods.
"What are these outsiders doing in Kuer Town without any identification?"
Broly was queuing to enter the town, but was stopped at the town gate and questioned because of his identity.
"I'm here to sell monster materials."
Broly answered according to the advice of the god of men last night, and took out the magic stone to show the guard.
"Eh, the core of the Demonbane Bear? That's a dangerous monster that only B-rank adventurers can defeat. Are you an adventurer?"
The guard at the town gate looked at the crystal core in the hand of the short boy in front of him and asked incredulously.
"I am an adventurer, but not one of yours, nor do I possess any credentials as an adventurer here."
Broly answered honestly, and indeed he was the top adventurer in the Sublime World.
"These might be halflings from the continent of Milis..."
One of the guards said in a low voice in slang, but he didn't know that Broly's Crystal Palace had a built-in language translation function.
"I am a Saiyan."
Broly corrected him.
"Alright, so, Mr. Saiyan, you're here to go to the market, right?"
Another guard asked.
"Um."
Broly nodded.
"Welcome to Kuer Town, but please be careful not to cause trouble here. I hope you get a good reward from those cunning buyers who are also here for the market!"
After the middle-aged guard finished speaking, he put Broly inside.
This town is located near a trade route, and every year at the end of the year, many merchant groups come here to purchase resources produced in the Wanglong Mountains.
Meanwhile, villagers from surrounding villages and adventurers who frequent the Wanglong Mountains will bring their best finds from the past year to sell here during this period.
Broly arrived just in time, but he wasn't particularly interested in the hustle and bustle of the town of Kuer. He simply glanced at the people passing by and, based on the description of the god in his dream last night, found a stall belonging to the Elliott Merchant Guild.
"I want to sell monster materials."
Broly stated his purpose directly.
"Please upload the materials; we need to verify them."
A middle-aged man in a gray robe spoke calmly, then pointed to his table, indicating that Broly should put the things on the table.
After Broly pulled the materials he had collected from the Dragon King Mountains out of the Crystal Palace, he became somewhat unsettled.
"Sir, this is such a large transaction, I may not be able to make the decision."
The buyers and vendors selling their materials all stared in disbelief at the mountain of various monster materials piled up like a small mountain.
"My God, those are the claws of a ground dragon lizard! I saw one two years ago..."
Some professional passersby expressed their shock and amazement.
"I thought he was just a kid, but he's at least a Saint-level expert. Thank goodness he didn't make a move..."
Some malicious glances retreated; this world has swords and magic, but the era is close to the Middle Ages, so it is never stable.
Broly's ability to throw out materials of such high quality and seemingly out of thin air is something that not everyone in this world can do. He is considered to be a master of Saint level or above. The ranks in this world are divided into Lower, Middle, Upper, Saint, King, Emperor, and God.
Although Saint-level is only the fourth rank, in a small place like Kur Town, they are considered rare experts.
"Da da da~"
That was the sound of riding boots, and a handsome young man with long brown hair and a single ponytail, dressed very neatly, followed the middle-aged man who had left earlier.
"My name is Nataya, and I am the head of the Elliott Merchant Guild."
The man introduced himself, and then continued.
"Excuse me, sir, are you planning to sell this pile of rare monster materials to our Elliot Trading Company?"
"Yes."
Broly looked at the beautiful boy in front of him with some disappointment. The god had revealed the boy's true gender, but unfortunately, the boy was not a target of the Crystal Palace's pursuit.
"Our Dalis Trading Company is willing to offer a good price to acquire your materials. Please consider us."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone nearby said something.
"us……"
Other acquirers followed suit.
"Everyone, what you're doing is against the rules."
Nataya stepped forward, looked at her fellow travelers who had spoken, and said.
"The other party hasn't sold the goods yet, can't we buy them?"
This behavior is indeed unethical, but Broly's monster materials are of high quality and rank, and you can tell at a glance they are good stuff.
If we can acquire it, we can definitely make a profit, and such high-quality materials are easier to sell.
"Do you all want to compete with the Elliott Merchant Guild in terms of financial resources? Or perhaps, in the future, whenever someone brings good materials to you for sale, our Elliott Merchant Guild can use similar methods to intercept them?"
"Alright, we were a bit rude, young master of the Elliott family. Your merchant guild will have priority."
The surrounding buyers looked disappointed and withdrew for the time being.
"this……"
"My name is Broly."
"This Broly... well, sir, we need to estimate the price first."
Nataya Elliott was about to say "little," but then she realized that the person in front of her might be a halfling, and halflings hate it when other races treat them like children, so she quickly swallowed the word "little."
"Please do as you wish, but I'm in a hurry and hope to get it done quickly."
Since the other person wasn't his target, Broly decided to go to other parts of the town to look for a potential wife.
"no problem."
Nataya agreed and, together with the middle-aged man beside her, began to count the monster materials on the ground.
"Mr. Broly, the monster materials you brought are excellent. Our Elliott Trading Company is willing to purchase them for 39 gold coins from the Dragon Kingdom and 5 silver coins from the Astor Kingdom."
The world's monetary system is based on gold, silver, and copper, but the value of coins varies from country to country.
Overall, the gold and silver coins of the Kingdom of Astor, the strongest human nation, are the most valuable.
Of course, if we only consider gold coins, the second strongest country, the Dragon Kingdom, is not bad either.
"If you feel..."
Nataya's offer was not low, but there was still room for negotiation.
"it is good."
However, Broly readily agreed.
"Well……"
This caught the woman dressed as a teenager somewhat off guard.
"Is there a problem?"
"Actually, there's still room for negotiation; you can raise the price."
Nataya said.
"I'm in a hurry."
Broly reiterated this point.
"Quickly, bring this gentleman the money."
"The handsome young man shouted."
Soon, Broly and the man exchanged money for goods.
"Is this the way the strong behave?"
Nataya sighed as she watched Broly's retreating figure, grabbing the money without even counting it.
Broly, having left the market, was thinking about how to more efficiently find potential targets in the town.
"Hey, I've got it!"
Based on his past experience, Broly quickly came up with a solution.
He grabbed a passerby and asked, "Is there an adventurers' guild in this town, or somewhere to commission large-scale tasks?"
"You little brat... well, young master, go straight down this street, cross three intersections, turn right, and the largest building is the town's Adventurers' Guild."
"Thank you, this is your payment~"
Broly flicked the silver coin in his hand to the other person, and the passerby who caught the coin beamed with joy.
. . . .
Adventurers' guilds often run taverns as a side business, and even during the day, even now during market days, there are still quite a few people drinking there.
Broly pushed open the door and smelled a scent that perfectly matched an adventurer's. He went straight to the adventurer's counter.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
The saleswoman behind the counter asked the question.
The latest novel is first published here!
"I want to register as an adventurer."
"Excuse me, are you a halfling?"
"Saiyan".
"Uh, how old are you?"
"You're even asking about age?"
"They usually don't ask, but the work of adventurers is quite dangerous. All the adventurer guilds in the Central Continent will not allow a child under the age of 15 to register as an adventurer."
The age of adulthood in this world is fifteen.
"So, all I need to do is prove that I'm capable of being an adventurer, right?"
Broly asked.
"Hmm, that works too."
The saleswoman nodded.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the counter in front of her was smashed to pieces.
The commotion also drew the attention of most of the members of the Adventurers' Guild.
"I'll pay for the damaged items. Can you help me register as an adventurer now?"
Broly handed over a gold coin from the Dragon Kingdom and asked.
"Uh, registering as an adventurer only requires twenty large copper coins."
The sales assistant was quite professional.
"Including the counter, you only need to give one silver coin."
Broly exchanged a silver coin for the other party and received the adventurer's identity card for this world.
However, he was only a low-level E-rank adventurer.
The reason Broly registered as an adventurer was not only to solve his identity problem, but also to find himself a job that could earn money in this world.
As for why he wanted to find a job that paid well, it was because he was about to spend a lot of money on his own affairs.
"I'm going to issue a large order."
Broly picked out two gold coins and placed the rest of the money in the saleswoman's hand.
"Okay, what kind of request is it?"
The saleswoman glanced at the gold coins in the money bag and figured this must be an S-level mission.
"I am looking for my destined partner, and I hope you can bring together as many women in this town as possible in one place where I can see them all at a glance."
"ah?!"
Upon hearing this bizarre request, the saleswoman was dumbfounded.
The adventurers who were drinking in the Adventurers' Guild but paying attention to what was happening here were equally dumbfounded.
"How could such a request possibly be fulfilled?"
someone said.
"I'm willing to pay anyone who's willing to let me take a look."
That's right, that's Broly's brilliant idea: paying others to appear in front of him.
"Uh, how much are you going to give me?"
An adventurer asked curiously.
"I don't know how much money is appropriate, could you help me?"
Broly looked at the saleswoman in front of him and made a request.
"Even if it's just a small copper coin, I think most people would be willing to let you glance at them, but if you want everyone, I think it would take at least five small copper coins."
The saleswoman replied.
"Then five small copper coins will do."
Broly nodded and looked at the adventurers in the Adventurers' Guild.
"And you can spread the word about this."
"How much will you pay us if we advertise this?"
"I won't pay you, but you can collect money from the people you bring in."
Broly gave the saleswoman a quote of one silver coin, and she quickly hung this rather strange appointment on the most conspicuous spot on the appointment wall.
Many adventurers thought it over and decided it was a good commission, so they quickly accepted it and ran off.
Broly, on the other hand, found two relatively easy-to-complete S-rank subjugation missions on the quest wall, which also offered high rewards.
When I was about to accept the quest, I was told that E-rank adventurers cannot accept quests that are so many ranks higher.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "If I bring back the corpse of the monster I was tasked with defeating, will that count as me completing the task?"
"Well……"
The saleswoman had never heard of such a thing before. After thinking for a moment, she said she would go and ask the leader of the adventurers' guild here.
"If you can do it, then of course you can be considered an exception and counted as having succeeded. However, don't overestimate yourself and end up risking your life."
The town adventurer guild leader, a Saint-level warrior, had already noticed the situation and walked over to warn Broly.
"OK."
Broly ignored the warning, memorized the monster information from the S-rank subjugation mission, and simply pushed open the door and left.
More than four hours passed, and around noon, Broly returned. He simply dumped the monster corpses from the S-rank subjugation mission in front of the guild counter.
"There's something wrong with your quest information. I searched for this big dog for a long time, but I finally found it. Please complete the quest for me."
The Saint-level guild leader's eyes twitched involuntarily as he looked at the terrifying demonic wolf, which probably only a King-level expert could handle.
He really wanted to ask Broly who he really was, but after thinking about it, he felt that he probably didn't have the right to ask.
"My authority only allows me to change your nameplate to A-rank adventurer. If you want to officially register as an S-rank adventurer, you will need to go to the Adventurer's Guild in a major city of the Wanglong Kingdom for certification."
Of course, we will still pay you for the two S-level commissions you complete. In addition, I can write a guarantee letter for you, ensuring the authenticity of the S-level commissions you complete.
Broly didn't object. After receiving the A-rank adventurer's badge and the guild leader's guarantee, he waited inside the Adventurers' Guild.
In the evening, the meeting task was completed, and the women of Kuer Town, who had heard that they would receive money, waited in the town's main square to collect their earnings.
Broly merely glanced at the town from the high platform and his expression turned to disappointment; the person he was looking for was nowhere to be found.
"Uh, Mr. Broly, aren't you looking for your destined partner?"
Seeing the boy jump off the stage as if preparing to leave, the guild leader of the Saint-level guild, who had come over to check on the situation, couldn't help but ask.
"I am looking, but clearly, there is no one here who is the one I am looking for."
"Well……"
The old chairman watched as Broly left, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Broly did not leave Kur town immediately because it was already late.
Moreover, he still has to wait for the settlement of the tasks he posted for meeting people.
The money that is not distributed will be returned to him later.
Just as Broly was having dinner at a restaurant that locals said was pretty good, someone came up to him.
"Mr. Broly, what a coincidence! May I sit next to you and dine with you?"
The person who arrived was none other than the beautiful young man disguised as a boy from the Elliott Merchant Guild whom they had met that morning.
