Adventurer, did you revive today by watching the ads too?

Chapter 71 Joining the Team, and the SBR Tournament

"Hey?"

Hua Zhen, Tia Ge, and Valentina all let out surprised, penguin-like gasps.

Spider-Man continued, "I searched this guy's place, and there were 365 crocodile-themed cups in his room. He must have been using a different one every day."

"Oh, what a joke! We took on a raid mission and now we're enemies who killed our wives?" Hua Zhen said.

"Hahaha, don't worry, once this guy is sent to the Public Security Bureau, he won't have a chance to escape again," Spider-Man laughed.

"Are you so sure?"

Hua Zhenzhen said that the criminals who were locked up by Spider-Man, such as Electro, Rhino, and Scorpion, didn't they break out of prison from time to time?

Can you, Spider-Man, be an exception?

"Don't worry, don't worry," Spider-Man lowered his voice, "I know the female warden there. She's very capable, and she's especially good at dealing with prisoners!"

"Speaking of which, does that spider silk really come out of your butt?" Tia asked curiously, wanting to walk behind him to take a closer look. "By the way, I didn't see clearly earlier, but is that bodysuit you've modified into open-crotch pants in the back?"

"Uh—it's nothing, nothing at all," Spider-Man said shyly, covering his butt to avoid being seen. "Superheroes have to cover their faces, butts are just as important as faces—by the way, what's with this dog and this little girl? Their eyes are making me feel really uneasy."

"It's nothing," Hua Zhen said, while holding down the somewhat eager Karula and the licking-lipped Shiva. "It's just a matter of some lifestyle issues—I won't really bite you."

"Oh, that's good then. Well, that's all for now. It's nice to meet you all. I'm quite busy and need to deal with the centaur matters in a while. I won't chat any longer."

"Centaur?" Valentina was taken aback. "Are they finally coming?"

"Yes, I will take a photo with them as a recipient of the Farlands Award. It is said that to celebrate the arrival of the centaurs in Farlands, a super long-distance running race will be held, with a prize of 500,000 Sola."

"Five hundred thousand?!" Hua Zhen was stunned.

"That's right, the first place winner gets a whopping 500,000 Sola! Oh, and by the way, let me tell you the name of this tournament."

Spider-Man said mysteriously, "The name of this competition is tentatively set as the SBR Competition. If you're interested, you can give it a try. Who knows, you might win!"

"Seriously—I'm never taking this kind of job again! I used up half a bottle of bath salts just to get rid of the smell!"

"Alright, alright, we've already closed this deal, haven't we? The smell can all be washed off anyway. Besides, the money we made this time is enough for you to buy so many bottles of bath salts!"

"Um, Tia, would you like me to recommend a scented diffuser?"

"No need, I'd rather save the extra money and send it back home—damn it! Aaaaaaah, I'm going to kill my mom!"

Inside the large tavern behind the Adventurers' Guild.

Slightly tipsy, Tia slammed her thick glass onto the table.

His bold yet ruthless declaration to kill his mother attracted the attention of many adventurers around him.

"Okay, okay, calm down. I'll treat you to fried skewers tomorrow night!" Hua Zhen patted Tia Ge on the shoulder to comfort her. "Tonight is Valentina's welcome party, so don't look so gloomy. Cheers!"

"Cheers."

The three men's wine glasses clinked in mid-air, producing a crisp sound, and the golden liquid spilled out.

Valentina passed the assessment and officially joined the team.

Although her combat skills are debatable, this incident with the mutated alien crocodile allowed Tia and Huazhen to see just how powerful her defenses were.

They arrived at the Adventurers' Guild in the evening.

It took a lot of time to clean the odor and dirt off my body.

Especially since Tia had fallen headfirst into the dung heap, and when she took off her protective suit, she was truly disgusted with herself.

The commission for this task, after tax, is 43,000 Sola.

Saying too much is not too much, saying too little is not too much.

Generally, commission fees are strictly implemented in accordance with the published standards.

However, if adventurers discover discrepancies between the commissioned task and the contents of the commission agreement during the commissioning process, they can unilaterally cancel the commission.

But Hua Zhen still insisted on completing the task, just like when she rescued Akuri and found Karula last time.

More than 40,000 Solas—that's still money!

But when I think about that thunderous crocodile in the underground sewer, I feel like I've wasted so much effort. Why is that?

But soon, Hua Zhen realized that her idea was very dangerous.

At first, he thought even a commission of over a thousand Sola was a good deal.

Now that he has that million-dollar check, Sora feels that anything less than tens of thousands is not enough.

This kind of thinking is completely unacceptable.

Keep in mind that an average person only earns a few thousand Sola a month.

He understood the principle that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Although this commission was slightly more difficult than expected —

However, he also took this opportunity to obtain some inside information.

That's the SBR competition.

The winning champion will receive a prize of 500,000 Sola.

Hua Zhen now has two clues to making money.

The first item is an alchemist's legacy map obtained from Anton's group of treasure-hunting rats, which seems to hold secrets about a third continent that has yet to be discovered.

Hua Zhen has no plans to get involved with that stuff yet.

The main problem is that our strength and equipment are not yet up to par, and taking rash action could attract the attention of others.

Let's wait and see.

But the SBR competition—

whee.

To put it bluntly, when it comes to running, do you believe I can't outrun you?

Hua Zhen looked down at her legs under the table.

With his sturdy and powerful build, thanks to the Fengxuepai treadmill, getting a ranking would be a piece of cake for him.

By the way, Valentina seems to know something about centaurs.

Ask her a few questions about it.

Hua Zhen turned to look at Valentina.

Meanwhile, Valentina was playfully poking Karula's little face.

"Hehe—so cute." Valentina seemed to be getting a little addicted.

Karula was obediently holding her fork and eating, but kept being poked, so she turned her head to look at Valentina, and a piece of meat on her fork accidentally flew off and got Valentina's clothes dirty.

"Well----"

Just as Hua Zhen was about to apologize, Valentina interrupted him.

"It's alright, he's just a kid."

Valentina waved her hand and took a candy out of her pocket and fed it to Karula.

Although I know that her personality is not as aloof as she appears, as a female knight, she does have a cool and aloof demeanor in her every move.

This might be due to the effect of appearance.

After all, Valentina wore light blue lip gloss when she was dressed casually, which made her look even more "unapproachable".

Hua Zhen felt that if he took a sip from this mouth, he could turn himself into a blue-ringed octopus.

Karula, who was sucking on a candy, was taken aback for a moment.

She loves sweets.

Kotia doesn't usually let her eat candy, because she's worried about it ruining her teeth.

Karula hesitated, glancing at the smiling Valentina, then at the fork in her hand—

Then she tossed another piece of meat onto Valentina, and then opened her little mouth to wait to be fed.
