My inventory is full of monster materials.

Adventurer's Camp.

Near the camp, there were two bodies wrapped in linen sacks, and next to them were some cheap iron swords, rough leather and other miscellaneous items.

The members of the "White Eagle" squad sat in a row around the burning campfire.

With gray hair, Felix held a tree branch and intently traced famous maps and numbers on the ground.

Henry, with his bushy beard, was enthusiastically wiping the newly captured steel tower shield repeatedly with a rag.

The serene Emily sat upright with her eyes closed, a thick, copper-bound book resting on her lap, muttering the Gospel to herself.

Mark stared blankly at the campfire.

While the squad was clearing the battlefield, Mark secretly disassembled the goblin parts and replaced them with better equipment parts in his inventory.

The Frost Goblin Shaman only contributed the "head" to him; the rest of the body, hands, and feet were unremarkable and offered no significant benefit.

It seems that the essence of intelligent monsters is concentrated in their heads.

Additionally, Mark obtained the "body" and "left foot" parts from the corpse of a (Tower Shield) goblin.

The original "Constitution +1, Lust +50%" on the torso has been replaced with "Strength +1, Constitution +1".

The corresponding six-piece set effect has also changed—from "Super Fertility (White)" to "Efficient Feeding (White)".

"Efficient Eating (White)": Expands the range of food recipes, increasing food absorption rate by 50%.

Mark felt incredibly embarrassed at the thought of "50% increase in lust".

As he introduced himself to the rest of the team, his eyes were glued to Talia and Emily's sensitive areas, like a pervert who hadn't had sex in ages.

Such a rude act naturally made the two ladies very unhappy.

As a result, Emily now avoids Mark and sits in the furthest seat.

Mark felt utterly wronged.

He's really not that kind of person.

"Ha~ha~"

Big Henry patiently breathed on the steel tower shield, then gently wiped it before the moisture dissipated, as if he were handling a lover's body.

The shield-shaped city wall has a matte metallic finish and is covered with scratches of varying depths, but this does not diminish its profound sense of security.

This tower shield was a spoil of war captured by the entire "White Eagle" squad, and it is only temporarily assigned to Henry for use.

Of course, once the mission is complete, he can buy the shields out of his own pocket and then distribute the proceeds equally among each team member.

Suddenly Henry noticed Mark, who was lost in thought.

Seeing that the other person looked preoccupied, I thought I should find something to talk about with my new teammate.

"Mark, where do you live?"

Emily, who was reciting silently, suddenly stopped, her big, bright eyes opening slightly as if she were casually glancing over.

"Huh? Oh."

Mark, as if waking from a dream, realized he was being questioned, so he shrugged and answered nonchalantly.

"Home is wherever I am."

"Huh?" x2

Henry and Emily were completely bewildered.

I don't understand what it means.

Felix, who was calculating and planning on the ground, explained without looking up.

"Henry, he's just like you used to be."

"..."

Henry then realized that the other person was an orphan with no relatives or friends.

Henry was a bit tongue-tied. He tried several times to say something comforting, but felt that nothing he said would be appropriate, so he reluctantly shut his mouth.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Fortunately, someone returned at that moment.

Talia angrily threw the bulging sack to the ground, revealing two or three bloody, green, pointed ears—goblin left ears—from the sack's opening.

"Felix, they're all here. There are 63 in total, and some were completely destroyed."

Upon hearing the number, Felix was overjoyed.

"I knew I was right. You all come here."

Upon hearing this, the other four people quickly gathered around.

Felix used a twig to mark the simple patterns on the ground and began a basic sand table analysis.

"We were initially ambushed by a horde of goblins here, and we killed 15-20 of them. Then we retreated and moved on..."

With Felix's explanation, Mark roughly understood the encounters of the "White Eagle" team during this mission.

One thing worth reflecting on is the initial ambush by the goblin horde.

Despite the squad having sent out scouts to reconnoiter the environment, they were still caught off guard by the goblin horde's ambush and were repeatedly "coincidentally" cornered against the rock face.

Mark glanced at the skill "Eye of Surveillance" on the virtual panel out of the corner of his eye and roughly understood what was going on.

But he couldn't tell the truth.

Given Felix's intelligence, Mark would definitely notice something was wrong if he even slightly revealed his chicken feet.

"...According to the intelligence, there are no first-tier monsters like goblin overlords at this stronghold, so the number of goblins is no more than a hundred. Considering the ones we killed and the existing old, weak, and disabled ones, the stronghold must be very empty now."

After saying that, Felix used a twig to sharply cross out a landmark.

"Hmph! Intelligence."

Talia, however, said with a disdainful expression.

"The guild's investigation team has never been accurate. The request form only said 40-50 heads, but almost twice that number appeared."

Henry echoed this sentiment.

"That's right, that goblin shaman is very strong, and it's probably a mutant."

Emily was a newcomer and not good at this, so she didn't speak.

It was Mark, the newcomer, who took the initiative to ask the question.

"What is our mission this time?"

Felix had anticipated this, so he didn't say much and simply pulled out a receipt from his inner armor and handed it over.

Mark took the document and looked at it.

[Mission]: Slay a medium-sized goblin camp (urgent)

[Number]: E01-087 | Bronze Grade

[Summary]: Recently, a medium-sized goblin camp suddenly appeared in the southwest of the Golan Forest (simplified map attached), suspected of being involved in an evil sacrificial ritual. The estimated number of goblins is 40-50, and there is one goblin shaman. (Bold) There are no monsters above level one.

[Requirement]: Completely destroy the goblin camp within 5 days and bring back the ritual-related equipment.

[Reward]: 6 Gold Coins, 20 Task Points/Person

[Note]: (in bold red) This quest was commissioned by Deacon Eugene O'Connor. Upon completion of the quest, you will receive an additional "Job Change Badge".

After reading it from top to bottom, Mark's gaze was firmly drawn to the last few words: "Job Change Badge".
