Chapter 48: The Tavern and the Adventurers' Guild
The next day, Fang Mu and Lesty came to the front of the Adventurers' Guild in Wenlan City early in the morning.
At this time, due to the early day, there were only a few adventurers in the hall of the association, a warrior with a golden middle comb was sitting on a long wooden chair oiling the iron sword, a woman wearing pearl earrings was reading a book on a stool, a fair woman in a robe was sitting at the front desk, holding her cheek with one hand, looking bored, and there were players with green names on their heads around the task bar, whispering discussions.
Fang Mu's arrival attracted everyone's attention.
It's just that most people raise their eyelids to take a lazy look, and then continue to lower their heads and go about their own business, but the few players in front of the quest bar are not like this.
"Oh, there's someone again......"
"This NPC is a little good-looking, and the male attendant next to him is also quite handsome, wait for me to take a photo......"
"In my experience, the stronger the person in the game, the better the appearance modeling......"
"Grass, I really can't see the information...... Why can't I even see the specific information of her entourage? ”
The players muttered very little, obviously not wanting to be heard by the person being discussed, after all, offending others for no reason is to deduct favorability.
Although I don't know the origin of the other party, it's not a good thing to deduct the favorability, so it will definitely not be deducted.
But these words were still heard by Fang Mu and the others, and as soon as the level was high, the perception naturally went up, which was the embodiment of hard power.
"Let's go, Servant."
Lestie snickered for a while, and sent a message to Fang Mu.
With a somewhat displeased look, Fang Mu deducted a little favorability from this group of players one by one, and after receiving the hint of a decrease in favorability, the players were silent for a moment.
"Ah......h
However, the situation in front of him also confirmed Fang Mu's guess, and sure enough, a group of leading players of the human forces had already left the main quest of the novice village and came directly to the main city to hang out.
According to the general process, players must stay up to level 10 before they can complete the main quest, and then come to Wenlan City to do the transfer quest.
And the few players in front of him were only level eight, which was the same as the level of the crystal team of Fang Mu's dungeon forces, and at this stage, this was almost the limit of a normal Liver Emperor.
What? Studio, you say?
I'm really sorry, the studio has disappeared in the long history, before logging in to the game, you need to brush the pupil pattern in the game warehouse to collect identity information, to ensure that you are logged in, Xianzi Technology directly cut off the possibility of players buying and selling accounts at the source.
One person, one number, directly bound to yourself.
It was naturally wise to enter the next map early, and the resources, channels, and scenery of Wenlan City were naturally far from being comparable to the surrounding novice villages.
You can also avoid the large army of players and gather a wave of resources before the army arrives, such as buying a house now...... Of course, players can't save up money to buy a house now, and at best, they can only get together a few people and buy a thatched hut outside the city.
One step at a time, one step at a time.
Ignoring this group of stunned young players who entered the main city in advance, Fang Mu walked straight to the front desk of the Adventurers' Association and said casually:
"Sweetheart, help me register two adventurers."
Surprised by Fang Mu's familiarity, Shanna stared at his eyes carefully, convinced that she had never seen the person in front of her.
"I'll introduce you to the City Lord's Mansion for you, and let you have a good dance at the City Lord's Ball when the time comes."
"Of course you don't know who I am now, because I'm using disguise."
Fang Mu casually made up a reason, this kind of practice of wearing a vest to enter the Adventurers' Association to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger had been done before, of course, it was to facilitate himself to do some things, not to simply enjoy the fun of fried fish.
At the time, he even said exactly the same thing as he does now.
Shanna glanced at Fang Mu thoughtfully, then nodded, and said to Fang Mu professionally:
"Newcomers who want to join the Adventurers' Guild need to go through the Adventurers' Guild's grading test first, and the grading fee is ...... In this case, please go upstairs and there will be a special person upstairs who will test your ability level. ”
Of course, there are also levels in the group of adventurers, and the more high-level adventurers are, the more they can receive tasks with more generous rewards, and then use the more generous rewards to purchase more advanced equipment, so as to achieve a virtuous circle.
There are two main factors that affect the rating of adventurers, the first is the strength of the magic in the body, and the second is the combat experience, as well as personal resume, such as how many commissions have been completed on the personal resume, and how many years have you been a member of the Adventurer Guild......
The ability is not enough, and the qualifications are made up.
After paying the money and going upstairs, the staff of the Adventurers' Guild invited Fang Mu and the others to an empty room, and brought out a bronze instrument from the box, which had a cylindrical probe attached to it, and a dashboard with a green light bulb.
"Please put your hands on the table, I will use a probe to measure the amount of mana for you later, during the period muscle paralysis, irregular contractions, etc. are normal, please don't be impatient, don't be nervous, and don't deliberately stimulate the magic in your body to avoid backfire."
"Let's get started."
Fang Mu nodded, the surveyor in front of him was obviously knowledgeable, and there was a small trick for this magic power indicator that could be used to exaggerate his strength, that is, to cast spells during the measurement.
For example, while measuring the magic power in the body, he quietly rubbed a fireball, and as for how to rub the fireball silently, I have to talk about it separately......
Anyway, Fang Mu didn't want to make these small movements now, of course, he wasn't nervous at all, the cold touch on his skin came, the probe touched Fang Mu's wrist, and the lights on the dashboard suddenly lit up one after another, flashing until the end.
At the highest level.
"This ......"
The staff looked at the scale of the dashboard, and looked at Fang Mu with some shock, he didn't even know for a while if the person in front of him was cheating, if he didn't cheat, then this magic level was a standard master level.
As a branch of the Adventurers' Guild in this kind of place, the master level is already the highest level that can be awarded, and it can be said that it is also famous in the local area.
Becoming a master adventurer, in addition to your job, also means that you can try to get to the top of the circle and find out more in-depth information.
Many low-level knights and minor nobles will be keen to invite adventurers of this level to participate in various activities, and adventure masters can also apply for an idle position such as an honorary coach in the knights or barracks, or apply to participate in the personal guard of some big man......
This is the passage that the vast majority of ordinary people cross, but really ordinary people, who can become adventure masters, do not learn magic since childhood, do not try to master magic, combat skills, one step is slow, every step is slow.
Families are poor and can't afford to buy equipment, or even the Adventurers' Guild entry fee, so how do you solve the problem at hand?
There are people who can overcome these difficulties, but there are few of them.
"Your measurements...... Uh, I'm going to measure it again, and I'm going to calibrate it with a combination of the two, so please forgive me. ”
For the sake of prudence, the staff said that this level of magic power can not be sloppy, not a test once, saying that you can fill in the report, so that if something goes wrong, he, the staff, will be responsible.
As concocted, Fang Mu's expression was calm and light, and the results on the dashboard, no surprise, were still at the highest level.
"No matter how you measure it, it's also the highest level, whoever comes today is the highest level, no need to test, hurry up and write it."
Fang Mu yawned and urged the staff to hurry up and not to grind.
His time is very valuable.
Suddenly, the staff respectfully wrote down his magic power measurement data for Fang Mu, and at the same time said with some resignation:
"Sir...... According to the rules of the Adventurer's Guild, although you have now reached the master level, the adventurer level is also based on combat experience and personal history...... In other words, we can't award you the Adventure Master medal directly here for the time being, you have to make some more personal commissions before that......"
"But we'll be handing out the Gold-Tier Adventurer's Emblem to you later, so please wait."
Fang Mu nodded in understanding, the Adventurers' Guild had always done this, he was used to it, and immediately, he flashed out of his seat, raised his head at Lestie, and motioned her to hurry up and find a place to eat.
It is exactly the same detection process as Fang Mu, except that the only difference is that the dashboard did not make any sound, and even the first light bulb did not light up.
Is there no magic? But how is this possible, a quasi-adventure master-level figure, the companions around him, it is absolutely impossible for him to be an ordinary person.
Immediately, the staff member replied:
"Uh...... This is the kind of warrior you may be very good at fighting, and you can't just use a mana detector to check the level of mana for this group, because many well-known berserkers are said to be unable to use magic, however, our Adventurers' Guild is also equipped with a stamina measurement room, so please ......"
His words came to an abrupt halt, because just then, he noticed wisps of black smoke floating from inside the bronze instrument......
.....................................
After successfully handling the Wen Lancheng Adventurer Certificate, Fang Mu received a gold-plated Gold Rank Adventurer Medal, but he did not stay in the Adventurers' Guild for long.
He came here this time only to handle the adventurer's certificate, so he didn't accept the commission first, although he had to find a chance to become an adventure master sooner or later, but these miscellaneous tasks would be done later, and he was not in a hurry.
The next target is the Pioneer Tavern in Wenlan City.
The strategic significance of a city tavern is not the same as that of a town tavern, and in general, a city tavern will be built a few times larger than a town tavern and have some other functions.
The owner of the township tavern may be just an ordinary businessman, tidying up the shop every day, settling accounts or something, but the owner of the city tavern is likely to be a multi-faceted and exquisite celebrity.
In addition to some underground establishments, the tavernkeeper is well-connected, and here you can also hire some competent assistants.
These right-hand men may not be the same as those teammates in the Adventurers' Guild, in fact, the members of the Adventurers' Guild are mostly players in the later stages, and the native NPC adventurers are all protected animals.
And the guild's matchmaking mechanics are quite problematic, your teammates are completely random, and it only depends on who takes the commission first.
But it's like this every time, whether it's a multiplayer mission involving several people, the teammates who fight side by side with you are sparsely coordinated, the warrior who fights to resist damage is the first to run, and the mage department can accurately interrupt your spellcasting reading with aoe skills every time, and then the allies scold each other, throw the pot, and the mission fails, wasting a day's time.
From time to time, players shout in despair on the way out of the mission:
"Four fools play with me!!"
Later, players found a good solution to this problem, for those players who have friends, just team up to do multiplayer tasks, don't match with passers-by.
For a lone ranger who has no friends, just like Fang Mu before, you can also come to the tavern to find a few helpers to help you do multiplayer tasks.
It's better to be a teammate than to be a teammate with you.
Although Fang Mu's purpose in coming this time was to find a few useful helpers, he didn't want to find them in the tavern, his game understanding seemed to be different from that of ordinary players.
Pushing open the wooden door of the tavern, the smell of malt mixed with lavender petals was obviously different from the grade of the town tavern.
According to Fang Mu's knowledge, the tavern in this historical background should have been filled with the stench of excrement, and things like plant petals were just to cover up these pungent stench.
But here, thanks to the water supply and drainage system, the tavern looks very pleasant.
Taverns are usually only full at night, and most of the people have serious careers during the day.
Now there were people in the tavern, but there were not many, one person was drinking beer, several empty wine glasses were placed in front of him, and a few others were playing a special rule of Vivian checkers for a limited time, and the only sound in the tavern was the grunt of drinking and the sound of chess pieces placing and beating bells.
Oh, and the sound of the tavern owner washing his plates.
Unlike entering the Adventurers' Guild in the morning, Fang Mu pushed the door into the tavern this time, only attracting the attention of the tavern owner, and the others were busy drinking and playing chess.
"Yo, new face, just came to this city, do you want something?"
The tavern owner Wales just glanced at Fang Mu and continued to concentrate on wiping the cup in his hand.
"I have a weak family and want a letter of recommendation from you."
Fang Mu walked to the bar counter, took out ten silver glittering oceans from the four-dimensional trouser pocket connected to the backpack bar, and lined them up along the lines of wood on the table, and the movements in Walsh's hands suddenly froze.
"I'm out of sight? I'm sorry, I can't remember who you are. ”
Wales didn't ask much interestingly, no matter where the young man in front of him got the news, it had nothing to do with him, and the other party had nothing to do with him or not, all he needed to do was write a letter of introduction, that's all.
