Chapter 7: Adventurers' Guild
In addition, the vast Emerald Forest is rich in resources, which attracts many adventurers for exploration every day. The continuous influx of adventurers has made the nearby Green Town quite prosperous. Due to the overwhelming number of adventurers, the Adventurers' Guild in Green Town has undergone several expansions to reach its current scale
Next to this simple task description, there is also an image of a white fruit, which is clearly the white sweet fruit required for the task. If any adventurer is willing to take on this task, they only need to take this card to the counter for registration.
These task-recording cards are not just simple white paper; they are 0-level 2-star imaging cards, which are much more expensive than lighting cards. However, these imaging cards are among the very few types of reusable living cards. Otherwise, the consumption of so many 0-level 2-star cards would undoubtedly represent a significant expense
As for the reason, it is necessary to mention the geographical location nearby. The place where Luo Hao currently resides is a small town named Emerald Town, which belongs to the far eastern part of the Principality of Belmar.
The wall and the books display various tasks issued by the Adventurers' Guild, which are categorized into different star levels based on their difficulty. At the bottom of the wall are the lowest-level 1-star tasks, followed by 2-star tasks above them, and at the top are the 3-star tasks. As for the 4-star tasks, Luo Hao has not encountered any, or it could be said that due to the danger level of the Emerald Forest, no 4-star tasks can be issued.
The forest is primarily inhabited by ordinary wild beasts, with very few dangerous magical beasts. Even if there are any, they are mostly low-level magical beasts of level 1 or level 2. Therefore, many young people choose to enter the Emerald Forest to gain experience and enhance their adventure skills, which has also led to the Emerald Forest being given an alternate name: the Trial Forest
Returning the card in his hand, Luo Hao walked towards the left side of the hall. At present, Luo Hao had not yet joined the Adventurers' Guild, so he was unable to accept any tasks here. However, Luo Hao's purpose for coming to the Adventurers' Guild was not to join and take on tasks, at least not at this moment.
The left area of the Adventurers' Guild Hall is truly the destination of Luo Hao. It is an open-style library bar where adventurers come to drink and chat during their leisure time between tasks. Some adventurers also engage in buying and selling additional gains acquired during their missions here
The Emerald Forest is a small corner on the outskirts of the Wind Whispering Forest, one of the three major forests of the continent of Kaji. A massive canyon separates the Emerald Forest from the Wind Whispering Forest, which is why, although the Emerald Forest is part of the Wind Whispering Forest, its level of danger is quite low
Star rating: 1 star
Luo Hao found a relatively empty spot in the corner of the bar and sat down. He listened to the gossip of the adventurers while observing the passing adventurers, searching for a buyer for the 4-star flare card in his hand
Reward: 1 silver coin
Certainly, when it comes to selling cards, there is an even better option in the town of Cuivert where Luo Hao resides, which is the Andela Card Shop. However, due to his disdain for the blank card studio of Kabila, Luo Hao also harbors no fondness for the Andela Card Shop.
As Luo Hao stepped into the Adventurers' Guild, a cacophony of noise immediately surged into his ears the moment he crossed the massive threshold of the guild
On the right side of the vast hall, there is a row of long counters where one must handle applications to join the Adventurers' Guild, task handovers, task postings, and other related matters.
At that moment, the once boisterous Adventurers' Guild fell silent, followed by a murmur of whispers among the adventurers, "It is the Forest Wolf Adventuring Team. It is said that they have taken on a 3-star mission to capture a supersonic bat. I wonder how things are going."
However, even if he did not go to that Andra card shop, Luo Hao was confident that he could sell the 4-star illumination bomb card in the Adventurers' Guild for a good price, because the Adventurers' Guild branch in Emerald Town, in terms of both scale and the number of adventurers, had far exceeded that of an ordinary town, reaching the level of some small to medium-sized city branches
To the southeast of Emerald Town lies a vast forest, the Emerald Forest
The Adventurers' Guild is an immensely large yet quite loose organization on the continent of Kar. It is considered large because the Adventurers' Guild is spread throughout the continent of Kar, and it is deemed loose because there are no restrictions on joining the Adventurers' Guild. As long as one pays a modest fee, there are no limitations to membership in the Adventurers' Guild.
From the message, Luo Hao learned that the Forest Wolf Adventure Group is a highly reputable 2-star adventure group, consisting of 2 cardholders. Its excellent reputation, combined with considerable strength, has made the Forest Wolf Adventure Group quite famous among these adventurers
Regarding the counter on the right side of the hall, Luo Hao merely glanced at it before moving on, for at that moment, his attention was captivated by the wall directly opposite the hall, or rather, by the objects on that wall that drew Luo Hao's gaze
Thus, the Adventurers' Guild has become the most densely populated venue for personnel exchanges on the continent of Kar, and such a place is indeed an excellent location for Luo Hao to sell his Level 0, 4-Star illumination card.
With curiosity, Luo Hao arrived at the wall where tasks were posted. His eyes were immediately drawn to the wall covered with cards, each representing a task issued by the Adventurers' Guild. Among them, the cards for 1-star tasks were the most numerous, followed by those for 2-star tasks, while the 3-star tasks at the top were quite scarce.
Casually picking up a card affixed to the wall, Luo Hao infused it with a thread of spiritual energy from the One-Character Illustrated Book. Instantly, a vivid image accompanied by text emerged.
Task: Collect white sweet fruit
Accompanied by a tremendous clamor, the layout of the Adventurers' Guild came into view for Luo Hao. At this moment, what appeared before him was a vast and unobstructed grand hall, where numerous adventurers were moving back and forth, and the enormous noise was emanating from these adventurers
After a period of observation, Luo Hao discovered that the adventurers here are mostly ordinary people who are strong and robust, with only about 30% possessing the strength of cardholders, and true cardholders are even rarer
Time passed second by second, and Luo Hao still could not find a suitable buyer. This 4-star illumination card was Luo Hao's last asset. He did not want to sell it at a low price, and he knew that most people here simply could not afford a 4-star card. Therefore, Luo Hao could only continue to wait
The Forest Wolf Adventure Group? Hearing the whispers of those adventurers, Luo Hao's eyes lit up. During this period of waiting, Luo Hao had heard a lot of information from the mouths of those adventurers, which naturally included details about the Forest Wolf Adventure Group.
