You sneaked into my simulation world and started spamming the panel

Lott was somewhat surprised, "Can we settle the payment immediately?"

"Hmm. When noble lords issue quests, they always pay the reward in advance. The Adventurers' Guild keeps a portion, and the rest is paid out as quest reward after the adventurer completes the quest. Isn't that how it always is?"

No.

Tasks where you get paid immediately after completing the work can be considered high-quality tasks.

Baldr picked out four coins from his stack and placed them on top of Lotte's coins.

"Bard, what is this?"

"I wasn't much help, just take it. Becoming a mage requires a lot of money, right?"

Lotte stopped refusing and put all 14 silver coins into his pocket. "I would feel bad if you didn't make any requests."

Bald grinned. "How about teaming up with me first next time?"

Yar chuckled softly, "Mr. Bald is quite fond of Mr. Lotte."

“You have no idea how strong Lott is.” Bald leaned against the counter, recounting his recent experience. “Lott could almost single-handedly fight the Bloodfleece Beast. I was just bait and didn’t help much.”

"Hmm?" Yar turned to look at Lot. "Didn't you say you hadn't learned magic? How did you deal with the Bloodfleece Beast?"

"He uses a sword, and his swordsmanship is very impressive, even stronger than the warriors like Seger. Miss Yar, you've misjudged him this time, haven't you? Lotte should be rated 'easy' against the Bloodfleece Beast."

Baldr recounted the entire incident to Jal in detail.

Yar rested her chin on her hand, looking at Lot with interest. "Lord Lot, it was my fault for giving you a 'rejection' before. Who knew that a mage like you would have such good swordsmanship? You should become a beginner, no, an intermediate warrior."

"I need to learn some swordsmanship for self-defense."

Yar leaned on the counter, her collar lowered, "You're so young, and as a mage, you also possess formidable swordsmanship. I feel you have unlimited potential. I can share your wealth; have you considered finding a wife?"

Lotte looked away: "Miss Yar, your chest is showing."

"I did it on purpose~"

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yar, the two left the Adventurers' Guild. Lot was still a little unaccustomed to carrying the heavy load of silver coins.

How should we spend this huge sum of money?!

Lott instinctively wanted to save up to buy a house, but he inwardly cursed himself for being so spineless.

As a monk, one should be ashamed of saving money! It's all gone!

Baldr began, "Lotte, you haven't really explored Maple Town much, have you?"

"Yes. I've only been here for three months, and during this time I've been going back and forth between the hotel and the forest."

"Fengen Town is quite large. The north side is a residential area, and the south side is close to the Fengen Great Forest, which is where we adventurers are located. I'll have Chloris show you around another day."

"Thank you, but I'll be fine on my own."

Bald patted Lotte on the shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief. "I was just testing you. Luckily, you didn't fall for Chloris."

cunning!

"Keep walking along this street. There are blacksmith shops where you can upgrade your equipment, and there are also potion shops in town. They're all cheaper than the things at the Adventurers' Guild."

Without a local's introduction, it would be difficult for Lotte to find these shops in a short time.

“Oh, right.” Baldr scratched his chin. “There are quite a few prostitutes and dancers in town; you can see them in the taverns. You’re quite handsome too, so don’t go and seduce the innocent farmer’s daughters in town.”

"Bard, if I hire a prostitute, will Chloris hate me, and then you'll feel at ease?"

Just how much does this guy spoil Chloris?

Bald chuckled. "Why are you making me sound so serious? You're still a little boy, aren't you? Well then, Uncle Bald will treat you to something today, and I'll find you three silver coins."

"No. If we're going to look for someone, we'll do it secretly, without letting you know."

"you!"

Lotte followed Bald back to the three thousand gold coins, where Bald personally cooked a delicious meal for Lotte.

After eating his fill, he went to the town market for the first time and bought a nice trench coat and a pair of boots.

He also bought a few flowers, intending to place them on the balcony of his room.

Lotte also wanted to get a pet.

"Staying in hotels all the time doesn't feel right. I wonder if there are any cheap places to stay."

When Lotte returned to the hotel carrying three potted plants and a lot of stuff, he suddenly found Baldr sitting by the flower bed downstairs.

"Bard, what are you doing here?"

"Something terrible has happened." Bald looked around and then whispered, "All the adventurers who went out to hunt the Mist Bear Spirit this morning have run into trouble!"

"Huh? Didn't they send more than ten people?"

"There are 18. Just now, someone risked their life to run back for help, saying that 8 people have already been killed in action."

Lotte led Bald into the room, placed the potted plant on the balcony, and poured Bald a glass of water. "Is the Mist Bear Spirit very powerful?"

"It's not particularly powerful on its own, but according to the person who came back, that Mist Bear Spirit has some talent!"

Talent is something that every race can possess.

As long as the talent awakening quest is completed, any race can awaken the corresponding talent.

But apart from Lotte, no one in this world knew about talent missions; they all thought talents appeared randomly.

Lott asked curiously, "What talent?"

"It is said to be able to block sword and knife wounds."

Blocking sword and blade wounds? Wouldn't that be the same as [The Gift of the World], providing physical resistance?

After taking a sip of water, Bald said, "Yal is urgently seeking help from the Adventurers' Guild, since there are still 10 people trapped in the forest. If all goes well, the Adventurers' Guild will issue an aid mission tonight, calling on all the adventurers in town to rescue the trapped people."

Are you going?

Bald shook his head. "I'm just a part-time adventurer. I wanted to ask for your opinion. Besides... Miss Yar asked me to ask you. You're strong, you can definitely help them."

"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do to help."

Lotte wasn't foolish enough to just go for money; the mission of searching for a talented bear spirit in the mist sounded dangerous.

Baldr nodded, not at all surprised; rather, he had come to persuade Lotte not to go.

……

Three days passed quickly.

For the past three days, Miss Yar from the Adventurers' Guild has barely slept a wink.

"Yar, how is it?"

Inside a room in the Adventurers' Guild, a gleaming crystal ball sat before Yar.

She was reporting to the leader of the Adventurers' Guild via a crystal ball.

"Branch President, the situation... is not good."

“It’s been three whole days! Not a single clue? Eighteen people are in danger. The Adventurers’ Guild of Maple Town has never encountered such a situation since its establishment! Moreover, this failure is due to our branch’s insufficient intelligence preparation. In a way, we also bear some responsibility.”

"But, Branch Manager, I've already increased the pay to two silver coins per day, and we still don't have enough manpower. Could you send someone over?"

"It will take at least half a month for reinforcements to arrive from the nearest adventurers' guild. By then, they'll be long dead! Figure it out yourself!"

Yar sighed, "But that Mist Bear Spirit has the talent to resist sword wounds, so it won't be of any use to the adventurers from Fengen Town. In fact, it will only make things more dangerous for them."

The crystal ball went out for a moment, then lit up again. "Didn't a new mage register in Maple's Grace Town? Let him go."

Yar also wanted Lotte to go, but Lotte doesn't know magic!

"But……"

"I don't want to hear about the process, I only want the result! From now on, you are free to allocate all resources within the Maple Town Guild without reporting to me, but you must bring them back to me within three days!"

The crystal ball went completely out.

Yar pinched the bridge of her nose and sat down in the soft chair.

"All resources... well."

She suddenly stood up and jogged towards the guild warehouse.

This place stores the Adventurers' Guild's lost items and relics, which should have been handed over to the branch guild.

Yar went to the innermost compartment and pulled out a box.

[Relics of the Mage Sophie]

Sophie lived in a room assigned by the Adventurers' Guild. According to the rules, after her death, everything in the room would be stored in the Adventurers' Guild, waiting for someone to claim it.

But these are special times. As the branch president just said, all resources can be allocated by Yar at will.

Yar opened the box, and inside lay a magic scroll.

Meanwhile, Lotte was drinking chilled mint honey wine inside the [Three Thousand Gold Coins] jar.
