Chapter 49: 048 ‘This money is really easy to earn. Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lamijion, adventurer’s guild. Just like always, the adventurer’s guild was as noisy as ever today. In the first-floor hall of the guild, adventurers wearing various equipment and carrying different weapons gathered as if to vent their emotions, eating meat in big bites and drinking in gulps, a scene that seemed to have become the norm. Of course, some people gathered in front of the bulletin board, selecting various quests, while queues formed at the guild staff’s counters, contributing to the lively scene. ... Until a certain moment, the noise in the guild noticeably decreased. The reason was simple. Because a strikingly noticeable team in every sense appeared in the first-floor hall of the guild. “Look, Vivian’s Team is back.” “Oh? They’re quite fast this time, huh?” “Miss Vivian is as beautiful as ever.” “Merica is still breathtakingly beautiful as well, no wonder she’s an elf.” “Little Lu Muya is also very cute, right?” “Hey, keep your voice down. If Tielle hears that, you’ll be in trouble.” “As expected, all the women in that team are too good-looking.” “I really want to join that team.” “Look, that newbie is still with them.” “Seems like he didn’t do anything that annoyed them.” “Really a lucky guy.” Amidst such chatter, Shane and his party returned to the adventurer’s guild, stepping into the guild hall once again. Shane naturally could hear the murmurs around him, and he could even feel the gazes full of assessments and even prickling eyes, silently shrugging his shoulders mentally. (It really was a predictable reaction.) Vivian conversed so smoothly with the guild staff, then asked Lu Muya, who had been carrying a backpack larger than herself, to step forward and hand the backpack to the guild staff. “What’s going on?” Shane was a bit confused. Surprisingly, Tielle, who had been silent by the side, answered Shane’s question. “This is to confirm whether the materials we collected outside the quests have any demand.” Tielle said quietly, “Because when adventurers fight demons outside, they often deal with demons unrelated to the quest targets and collect their materials. These materials, although not within the quest scope, might have requests for collecting them or defeating such demons from the guild, so usually, adventurers can report to the guild to complete the quests they did not take but have already completed.” Shane was enlightened. It made sense. If during adventuring, one collected materials of other demons, and if the guild had collection requests for those materials, one could hand them over post-completion, finishing those tasks and earning extra quest rewards. Even if there was no current request for collecting them, none could say there wouldn’t be in the future, so adventurers would also hand some materials to the guild for management, allowing them to provide them directly when the need for those materials arose, completing those tasks. “Some people don’t do this, though. They take the demon materials they collected to shops in the town to sell for money. Ultimately, it depends on the individual.” Tielle spoke in a flat tone. “Our team usually hands materials over to the guild unless they are particularly high-level and valuable. If you think this is not appropriate, you can propose it to Vivian, who will then calculate your share of materials and hand them to you to manage yourself. This is our team’s approach.” That was quite humane. Shane thought so while saying, “I have no objections, so let’s handle it this way.” Tielle nodded without saying more. Before long, Vivian returned with Lu Muya and Merica, having handled the task and material matters. “Lucky us, several materials were in demand, and we completed a few more quests, earning a reward of sixty gold coins.” Vivian said with a smile while holding a pouch with the distributed amount. “We earned a total of a hundred gold coins for this task. Each person can get twenty gold coins in rewards. Here, take it.” With that, Vivian handed four pouches to the group. “This money is easy to make.” Shane thought, reaching out to the pouch given to him. Just then, a hand suddenly reached from the side, snatching the pouch that Vivian was about to hand to Shane. “It’s not suitable for a newbie to take so much reward; better use it to treat everyone to drinks.” A voice full of laughter sounded, reaching everyone’s ears.
