On July 24, 2999, the Kingdom of Priscilla in the southeast of the Free Federation, the country is located in the low-lying south, and borders the sea of the Bitter Sea, and there are many rivers, and the river transportation is very developed, so it has the reputation of "the country of water towns".

Of course, Ruan Chi is here now, not because he agreed to the invitation of Thackeray and others to travel to this place, but because Ruan Chi came to this country to carry out a mission as the leader of the 38 Women's Adventure Group.

It turned out that after the college holiday, only a few days later, Ruan Chi was so idle that he couldn't help it, so he asked everyone to form an adventure group to go out on an adventure.

Surprisingly, I thought that Rachel would definitely oppose this proposal, but to Ruan Chi's surprise, Rachel not only did not oppose but also agreed with it.

So a house of people unanimously agreed, and in the name of the 38 Women's Adventure Group, they began to accept various commissions and tasks in the countries of the Free Federation.

Everyone doesn't care about the bounty they get for the task, they only care about passing the time and making their lives more fulfilling, so basically as long as it's a task, Ruan Chi and they will take it.

"Congratulations, the adventure group you belong to has met the requirements for upgrade certification, and now our union can handle the B-level adventure party certificate for you, I wonder if you need to upgrade the certification?"

I just came back from an E-class mission to catch cats, but I didn't expect that at the window of the delivery task, the staff of the Adventurers' Union suddenly told Ruan Chi such a news.

"How did we suddenly become a B-class party?" Ruan Chi touched his chin and asked.

If memory serves, since the establishment of the adventure group for such a long time, Ruan Chi has rarely gone to the union to receive tasks. According to the way, there should be no record on the side of the Adventurers' Guild.

Moreover, the upgrade qualification of the B-rank adventure group requires 30,000 adventurer reputation points. Ruan Chi is a newly established E-class adventure group. I haven't even done a few tasks, why did I suddenly get a B-level upgrade certification?

Although he was a little puzzled, Ruan Chi still nodded and asked the staff member to help with the certification, after all, the B-level adventure group is much higher than the original E-level, and it can also exercise the privileges of various adventurers, which may be useful in the future.

Because the procedures for upgrading the certification are more cumbersome, Ruan Chi is waiting. Rachelty yì brought up the adventure log to take a look.

The adventure log records the details of the adventurer and the adventure group's missions, and Ruan Chi only needs to look at it to understand why his adventure group can be upgraded to B-rank.

Unexpectedly, the reason why Ruan Chi was able to obtain the upgrade certification qualification was because of the two S-class missions completed by the adventure group recorded above.

"When did you help the Free Commonwealth catch a prisoner?" Rachel saw the mission record recorded in the adventure log, mentioning that Nguyen Chi had accepted an S mission in the name of the adventure group to assist the Federal Investigation Team in apprehending the perpetrators of the hollow murder case.

"A few months ago, I didn't go out with Ampeggy and Jialan, and then even Helan came back. That's what I did during that time......"

Ruan Chi thought about what happened some time ago. Tell Rachel about it.

It seems that Shirley did keep her promise and reported to Ruan Chi afterwards, and this mission gave Ruan Chi 13,000 points of adventurer reputation.

In addition, there is an even more exaggerated mission, which is actually about taking out the Apollo pirates in the Gulf of Aden, that mission is also S-rank, and the reward adventurer reputation is 16,000 points.

"I don't remember taking on any of these tasks?"

It's okay to say that the task of the hollow murder case is okay, after all, Ruan Chi agreed with Shirley in advance, but for the mission of the Apollo Pirates, Ruan Chi himself obviously did not go to the adventurer's union to take over the relevant task.

"Could it be that Lady Isabella......" Ruan Chi muttered.

Coupled with the fact that he had done a bunch of messy small tasks before, Ruan Chi found that now the accumulated reputation of the adventure group is as high as 30,017 points, no wonder he can jump three levels in a row and directly obtain B-level certification qualifications.

After waiting for a while, the Adventurers' Guild sent someone to tell Sù Ruan Chi that the certification work had been done, and took them to a separate office.

There was an old man with a white beard and white hair, and when he saw Ruan Chi and them coming in, the old man immediately stood up to greet him.

"A few of them are the warriors of the 38 Women's Adventure Group, and in Lower Lawrence, they are the president of the city's adventurers' union branch."

Unexpectedly, a B-level upgrade certification was also brought to the branch president to deal with it personally, Ruan Chi was a little surprised, and shook hands with the other party in a daze.

"Who is the leader of the adventure party?" Lawrenster asked with a smile.

"It's me." Ruan Chi raised his hand.

"It's really a hero out of a teenager, I didn't expect this little brother to complete two S-class tasks at a young age, it's really rare." Lawrenster touched the beard on his chin and looked at Ruan Chi with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

When Ruan Chi heard this, he immediately understood that the president of the daring group was not here because the adventure group had upgraded the certification, but because Ruan Chi had completed two S-level missions on his side.

In fact, Ruan Chi didn't know that the S-class mission is the highest level of the task that the adventurer union has been able to issue so far, and this level of task means that the difficulty of the task has reached the national level, and tasks such as slaying dragons are S-level, which requires national strength to be able to deal with, and it is difficult for ordinary adventure groups to complete S-level tasks alone.

Since the creation of the Adventurer's Union, there are no adventure groups or adventurers who can complete S-class tasks, which leads to the hundreds of thousands of registered adventure groups under the Adventurers' Union, and there are also no adventure groups that can reach the S-rank.

Because, in order to become an adventurer of an S-class party, in addition to accumulating adventurer reputation to reach 100,000 points, you must also complete an S-level mission alone.

This is an insurmountable mountain for the current adventure group.

The two S-class missions that Ruan Chi has completed now are the Hollow Murder Case and the Extermination of the Apollo Pirates, both of which have been released by the Adventurer Guild, and there are many adventure groups that have received these two tasks, but none of them can be completed alone.

As the president of the city's adventurers' union branch, Lawrence knew that Ruan Chi was coming. Come out immediately and greet you in person. After all, an adventurer who is able to complete two S-class missions alone. He would love to see him in person.

When he first saw Ruan Chi, Lawrence was still startled, he didn't expect that the leader of the adventure group who had completed two S-class missions would be such a young teenager.

However, Lawrenster is also an old man, and he did not doubt the other party's age, on the contrary, from the beginning, he shook hands with Ruan Chi with a smile on his face.

"This is a B-level certificate for your adventure party."

Lawrence handed a red pamphlet to Ruan Chi, who took it and opened it, and sure enough, he saw that the level evaluation of the adventure group had changed from the original E level to B level.

System: The level of your party is upgraded to B.

System: Upgrade your Mercenary badge level to B.

System: Raise your mercenary group level to B level.

System: Mercenary system recruitment information updated. Please check it out.

Ruan Chi was stunned for a moment when a bunch of information suddenly came, and then after thinking about it, he remembered that the level of the adventure group seemed to be linked to the level of the mercenary system.

No, as soon as the level of the adventure group was raised, the mercenary system, which had been forgotten by Ruan Chi in a corner, immediately kept refreshing the information.

Opening the system backpack, Ruan Chi found the mercenary badge, which had changed from the original white ordinary quality to the current purple excellent quality, and its attributes had become a lot stronger.

Mercenary badge (purple). Excellent quality, physical attack +120. Strength +20, Intelligence +20, Morale +5, Required Level: None, Required Class (Note: Only players with their own mercenaries can wear it, and it does not occupy the equipment slot)

This thing has been put in the backpack by Ruan Chi, and he almost forgot about it, but he didn't expect it to be suddenly upgraded today, and now it looks like the attributes are not bad.

However, what surprised Ruan Chi the most was the mercenary system itself, because of the increase in the level of the adventure group, there are many more types of mercenaries that can be recruited on it, and the level is also much higher than before, unlike before, the level is too low, and the guide is not very practical.

Terran Griffin Knight: Level 60, Class: Knight, Combat Power 698, Employment Requirements: B, Fame Points: 97

Terran Crusader: Level 62, Class: Warrior, Combat Power 704, Employment Requirements: B, Fame Points: 110

Elven Ranger: Level 61, Class: Swordsman, Combat Power 723, Employment Requirements: B, Fame Points: 123

Elven Druid: Level 60, Class: Druid, Combat Power 699, Employment Requirements: B, Fame Points: 100

Werewolf Warrior: Level 64, Class: Berserker, Combat Power 744, Employment Requirements: B, Fame Points: 130

Mammoth Wizard: Level 63, Class: Wizard, Combat Power 712, Employment Requirements: B, Fame Points: 124

……

The updated mercenaries were obviously much stronger than when they were just E-rank, and Ruan Chi couldn't help but have the idea of recruiting one or two to play around.

But considering that there were still people now, Ruan Chi gave up this idea.

"Wow, Ruan Chi, we're a B-class adventure party now?" Betty saw Ruan Chi take the certificate, and also took it to take a look, and when she saw the silver "B" certification seal on it, she couldn't help but blush a little with excitement.

Influenced by Jana's guy, Betty has also been a bit obsessed with being an adventurer recently, and naturally knows that B-level adventure groups are also rare among the many adventure groups.

"This young lady is right, you are already a B-level adventure group, you can accept more adventure missions, and of course, the rewards will increase accordingly." Lawrence laughed.

At this moment, a staff member suddenly walked in from outside.

Seeing the staff member, Lawrence smiled again: "All of you of the 38 Women's Adventure Group, regarding the bounty for your group to complete two S-class missions, our branch has prepared it for you. ”

"Bounty? What bounty? Rachel looked at Ruan Chi suspiciously.

"Probably our bounty for completing the mission, after all, we have completed two S-class missions." Ruan Chi shrugged.

"What we do, it's obviously only you." Rachel glared at him, a little angry at Ruan Chi for doing so many things from her.

Ruan Chi smiled, at this time, Lawrenster had already received a purple-gold card from the staff member's hand. These cards are called "Magic Crystal Memory Cards". It is a storage item similar to the Earth Bank Card.

There are also banking institutions in the Miracle Continent. For large amounts of monetary transactions, they will be carried out in the form of guò transfers, and when carrying a large amount of cash, this "magic crystal memory card" is required.

"Your group has completed the two S-class missions of 'Hollow Murder' and 'Apollo Pirates', and the bounties they have obtained, after deducting the handling fees of our union and taxes, are all deposited into this card. Please take it personally. Lawrenster called the card to Ruan Chi and said.

"Come and see!" Ruan Chi then handed the card to Rachel, he had no concept of money, and besides, if he asked for money, he had a lot of backpacks.

Rachel took the card, looked at it, and placed it on a slab made of special hedrons that displayed the amount of money in the "Magic Crystal Memory Card".

When Rachel saw the long string of numbers appearing on the card, she couldn't help but look surprised. Herlan and Betty, who were also watching from the side, almost jumped up.

"So much?" Rachel looked at Lawrence, as if to say more. Did you give it wrong?

Lawrenster smiled and explained, "The bounty numbers are not wrong, because both are S-class missions, so the rewards will be correspondingly rich, in fact, since the establishment of our Adventurers' Guild, it has been a long time since the adventurers and the adventure group have been able to get the S-class mission bounty, and I am very happy to be able to witness this important moment in person." ”

Lawrence's words seemed to be a little excited, and his eyes were shining even more when he looked at Ruan Chi and the others, he knew very well the value of the 38 women's adventure group in front of him.

Although the name is a bit strange, can an adventure party that can complete S-class missions be worse? Lawrenst dared to assert that as long as these young people in front of him continued to work hard, he believed that he would soon be able to accumulate enough adventurer reputation and reach the S rank of the adventure group.

The profession of adventurer, since the decline of modern times, there has been no S-level adventure group for a long time, although many A-level adventure groups can accumulate enough prestige, but they have never been able to complete S-level tasks independently, so they have been stuck in A-class.

However, the 38 women's adventure group in front of them has already completed two S-level missions, so it should only be a matter of time before they want to advance to the S-level adventure group.

At the thought of the S-class appearing again among the declining adventurers, as a witness, Lawrence was very excited and wanted to help Ruan Chi and them.

"By the way, how did I forget this." Lawrenster suddenly remembered something important, patted his forehead, and said, "Everyone, I don't know if you're interested in taking on an A-level mission." ”

In order to enhance the prestige of the 38 Women's Adventure Group, a quasi-S-class adventure group, Lawrence decided to personally recommend a recently released A-class mission.

Don't look at the fact that A-class missions are one level lower than S-class missions, in fact, A-class missions are not released frequently in the adventurer's union, and most adventurers or adventure groups can only look up to A-class missions.

"A-class mission?" Ruan Chi thought about it, but still looked at Rachel, he didn't have any idea about what task to take, anyway, he was an adventurer during this time just to pass the time, and by the way, to see if he could trigger the main quest as much as possible.

Since the last time I completed the collection of the Apocalypse Don't Starve Chapter, the main quest has not been triggered, and I don't even have any clue about the memorial quest of the Don't Starve Chapter, let alone the rest of the fragment clues.

Rachel knew that Ruan Chi meant to make up her mind, so she didn't make a decision on the spot, but cautiously asked Lawrence to explain the content of the A-level mission in detail, and then consider whether to take it.

"This A-class mission, in fact, was also commissioned by the king of the Kingdom of Bostan, I heard that the border of their country has recently been attacked by unknown undead creatures, and many people have died, but because most of the villages attacked are sparsely populated border towns, they have not been taken seriously. It was only recently that a caravan from the neighboring king Klose was attacked by undead creatures while transporting goods, and the Kingdom of Bostan was forced to issue this commission under diplomatic pressure. Lawrence said.

"The Kingdom of Postan?" A strange look flashed in Rachel's eyes, and then she nodded, "No problem, we took this task." ”

"Huh? Picked up? Ruan Chi didn't expect Rachel to be so refreshed all of a sudden, and looked at her with a little surprise.

Lawrenster was naturally very happy, and stroked his palm: "Okay." Since your regiment has taken on this task. I'll have someone file for you right away......"

said. Lawrenster went out and called the staff to come in and personally register for the A-class mission for the 38 Women's Adventure Group.

System: Your party has accepted the adventure quest "Investigate the Undead Attack", Difficulty A, to go to the border of the Kingdom of Bostan and investigate the truth behind the undead attack.

Mission Success - Gain 340,000 XP, 400 gold, 1500 points of regional prestige in the Kingdom of Bostan, and 1000 points of world prestige.

Mission Failed - None.

At the same time as Ruan Chi received the task book. The system also triggered the corresponding adventure mission.

After walking out of the Adventurer's Guild, Ruan Chi asked curiously, "You took the task no matter how you wanted, it doesn't look like your style at all." ”

When Rachel heard this, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Betty who was walking in front, and then whispered: "The Kingdom of Postan borders the forgotten country of Oberdo, I am wondering if I should take advantage of this time to let Betty's sister go back to her hometown to have a look." ”

"The Kingdom of Bostin? Uh, I remember what you said. The country is indeed very close to the forgotten country of Oberdo. Ruan Chi nodded.

Some time ago, because of the relationship between brushing hero copies. Ruan Chi also returned to the Forgotten Country, where the coordinates that had been marked by An Peiqi are still left.

This is easy to do, Ruan Chi immediately took everyone out of the city, found a place where no one was around, and then asked An Peiqi to launch the ability to jump with mental power.

Half an hour later.

System: You enter the Forgotten Realm.

System: You discovered the Dead Forest.

The coordinates after the teleportation ended were the recorded coordinates of the last hero copy that Ruan Chi had finished brushing up on the last time, surrounded by gray-brown trees that were black charcoal-like, and the sky was a dark color unique to the Forgotten Nation.

Although it has been almost a year, when she returns to this place, Betty still can't help but be shocked, and her eyes reveal a different kind of affection.

"Ruan Chi, we ...... Why are you coming back here? Betty asked, a little overwhelmed.

"I'm sorry, Sister Betty, I didn't consult you beforehand, actually, that's what I meant." Rachel walked up to Betty and said.

Cat Ear Niang looked at Rachel with a pair of big tearful eyes, and half-loudly, she shook her head vigorously and said, "No, I should thank you Sister Rachel, because if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the courage to step into this land at all." ”

"Betty actually wanted to come back all along, right?" Ruan Chi walked over, rubbed the ears on the cat's head and smiled, "Although you haven't said it all along, but this is your hometown after all, and I haven't been as careful as Lei'er, so I haven't even noticed your thoughts." ”

Betty couldn't hold back anymore, choking tears sliding down, she hugged Ruan Chi, rested her head on that solid chest, and let out a low sob.

Ruan Chi is right, in the final analysis, this place is the land where she was born after all, and the experience of living in this forgotten country, no matter how hard and tiring it is, is the most precious memory of her life.

At this time, there was a roar in the sky, but it was a dwarf airship carrying a large amount of garbage across the air, this "meteor" is a specialty of the Forgotten Country, Betty heard the familiar voice, and couldn't help but look up and say: "Ruan Chi, I'm ...... Can you check it out? ”

"Absolutely." Ruan Chi smiled, grabbed Betty's hand and ran in the direction where the "Meteor" fell.

……

Half an hour later

"Over there!"

Betty took Ruan Chi's hand and led Rachel and the others through the forest, and soon, a gray rocky field appeared in front of everyone.

This place was somewhat similar to the fraudster wasteland where Ruan Chi had been, and the group ran on it for some distance and soon found a huge crater in rock.

There was a black iron lump lying in the pit, which should have been thrown down by the airship just now.

Coincidentally, when Ruan Chi and the others first came, this "meteor" had not yet been discovered by other wanderers, and Ruan Chi and they became the first discoverers of this "meteor".

Betty must have been excited, but after a year, Betty was no longer a wanderer, so instead of touching the "shooting star", she walked up to it, touched its rough metal surface, closed her eyes and began to recall her past experiences on this land.

Ruan Chi stood behind Betty and looked at her with a smile. (To be continued......)
