Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

Is the sky over Mona City... ultimately black?

Just as Luke was filled with anxiety, Lynn turned to look at him, saw his pale face, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, saying:

"Don't be nervous, we're not going to eat you."

Luke's gaze drifted to Lynn's face, but he quickly lowered his head and said:

"I... I won't sue, okay?"

"What do you mean 'can't' or 'can't'! I already said it's a misunderstanding!!"

Lynn increased the pressure, patted Luke on the shoulder, and said:

"In fact, this mission was a complete misunderstanding."

"Later, I will cancel this mission directly and then, according to the guild's rules, refund the lost wages to the adventurers who accepted the mission."

Adventurers' Guild quests can be cancelled, but a 10% cancellation fee will be charged, with the guild taking half and the remaining half split equally among the adventurers who accepted the quest.

In total, each of the 100 adventurers who accepted the quest could receive 150 magic coins.

Although it was pitifully little, it was still equivalent to half a day's wages for a normal resident of Mona City.

Luke was naturally unhappy with this kind of 'reward'.

He had already found Lynn Knightworth, and 30 was within reach, but he could only get 150 fiat currency, a difference of nearly two thousand times, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

But the prerequisite for dissatisfaction is that he has to survive safely!

"I understand, I will apply for a refund right away."

Luke spoke timidly, not daring to look up at Lynn at all, afraid that if he looked at her even once more, Lynn would think he was unconvinced.

Seeing this, Lynn didn't delve into Luke's problem. If things really escalated, it would be Jack's fault.

If that bastard hadn't posted that task, this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened.

Yeah, it's all Jack's fault.

Thinking of this, Lynn reminded Luke:

"Next time, remember not to shout about insider dealings. Shouting such things without investigating the matter properly will only bring trouble upon yourself."

Although Lynn didn't particularly like Luke's behavior, he could understand it.

Of course, understanding does not mean acceptance.

"I don't have time today, but next time we meet, I'll beat you up as an apology."

"Huh?" Luke was stunned when he heard this.

What do you mean by "I'll beat you up the next time we meet"?

Furthermore, in this world, are there any people who would accept being beaten as an apology?

At this moment, Lynn asked curiously:

"By the way, what level adventurer are you?"

“Level 7… Level 7.” Luke said with a somewhat unnatural expression, “Almost level 8, my third attribute is almost maxed out.”

No, why would he honestly confess to all this? It's not like he's being interrogated...

Luke glanced at Sia and Mira.

Hmm, a big shot in the city lord's mansion, the head of the adventurers' guild, well, it really is an interrogation bureau!

"Wow? He's a genius!"

Lynn looked over in surprise when he heard Luke claim to be level 7.

Unexpectedly, this reckless young man is actually quite high-level, and he even upgraded three attributes?

Does that mean you train all 3 attributes before leveling up, and then leveled up all the way to level 7?

In other words, Luke's five attributes are at least 8 points in 3 of them, with the highest one possibly reaching 14 points.

Thinking of this, Lynn nodded and said:

"I can't beat you up now, but I'll deal with you in a couple of days."

"By the way, would you like to leave your address?"

Luke's expression stiffened upon hearing this. Did he really need an appointment to pick a fight?

And what else? What do you mean by saying you can't beat me up now, but you can in a few days?

Do you think I'm some nobody who can be beaten up by you after just a few days of training?

Luke wanted to complain, but when he turned his head and saw Sia smiling and looking at him, he was speechless.

"I live on the 5th floor of the guild building, room 552..."

Realizing he was still in danger, Luke reluctantly gave his address.

Then, Luke hurriedly bowed to Lynn, said "I'm sorry," and immediately stood up and took a few steps back.

Seeing that no one cared about his retreating movements, he turned around and ran away quickly, his steps erratic as if a pack of wolves were chasing him.

"That little puppy..."

Shia glanced at Luke's retreating figure, recalling the triangular armband she had just seen wrapped around his arm:

"They seem to be from the Fiona Mutual Aid Association."

Upon hearing the name, Lynn, who was planning to kick down Luke's door after leveling up, looked over with some confusion, knowing that Luke lived on the same floor as him.

"Fiona Mutual Aid Association?"

At this moment, Xia explained with a smile:

"The militia spontaneously formed by residents of Dongcheng District in order to ensure stability was probably seen by the military police as a mutual aid group of newcomers who were still dreaming of being heroes."

At this point, Mira added:

"The earliest adventurers' guilds and thieves' associations almost all came about in this way."

Upon hearing this, Lynn raised an eyebrow. He wasn't concerned about the Adventurers' Guild's origins, but rather about the problems that Luke's membership in that mutual aid society might cause:

"Would beating him up cause me trouble?"

"No, that won't happen."

Sia twirled her beautiful pink hair with her fingers:

"The leader of the Fiona Mutual Aid Association has submitted an application to the city lord's mansion to formally establish an association. In a few days, they will become a formal 'association' under the Adventurers' Guild."

“Even if she wanted to stand up for her underlings, that big sister from the East District wouldn’t pick a conflict that arose from a misunderstanding and specifically come to cause you trouble.”

"Of course, all of this is on the premise that you don't beat the person too badly afterwards."

"Just teach them a lesson, don't go too far and cripple them."

"It's just a misunderstanding, there's no need to make it so ugly."

Lynn nodded upon hearing this, then suddenly said:

"If I had known, I would have let you guys keep him in check. We would have beaten him up right now."

"Sigh, I'm still too kind-hearted."

in an instant,

Sia, Mira, and Rami all fell silent.

Lynn's thought process... isn't it a bit too abstract?

Chapter 36 You're pretty brave, kid! Let me see!

"You... call this being kind-hearted?"

Sia blinked, looking at Lynn with a strange expression as if she had discovered a new human.

"if not?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow, then said:

"He just slandered me because of a misunderstanding. I plan to beat him up. After that, we'll be even for now."

"But what if I don't beat him up?"

"Will he think I'm easy to bully? Will he think that it's normal for him to get away with nothing after slandering me?"

"Then it gradually developed into the idea that once something happens that harms their interests, they will make a big fuss without even thinking, waiting for others to give in so that they can become the ultimate beneficiary? In the end, they will offend the wrong people and get taken care of?"

"But what if I beat him up now?"

Lynn then raised his chin and said maliciously:

"Let this young man know that you can't slander people without investigation. Let him understand that slandering others will get you beaten up, and might even kill him!"

"See? He won't dare to speak carelessly anymore. If he doesn't speak carelessly, he won't offend people. If he doesn't offend people, he won't suddenly die a violent death?"

"So, do you think I saved him?"

Lynn then straightened his back and said matter-of-factly:

"Was I wrong to say I have a kind heart?"

Ramy, holding Miss Snowball, stared blankly at Lynn, then nodded with a look of sudden realization:

"That seems to be the case!!"

Hearing this, Sia gave Ramie a strange look, then reached out and patted her on the shoulder, saying:

"Lamy, in the future, before you do anything Lynn asks you to do, think about what will happen after you finish. Think it through before you act."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll be sold out of everything by this little rascal."

"Huh?" Ramie was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

At that moment, Sia did turn her head and say to Mira:

"This rascal, is he always this good with words?"

“Hmm…I didn’t notice before.” Mira paused for a moment, then sighed, “But I do now.”

"Then what is this?" Sia put one hand on her hip and looked at Lynn with curiosity: "His true nature has been revealed?"

Lynn raised her eyelids slightly, rolled her eyes at Sia, and said:

"I prefer to call this an 'efficient response'."

After saying that, Lynn glanced at Sia, then asked curiously:

"So why are you here?"

"It can't be because of me, can it?"

"Part of it is because of you."

Sia smiled mischievously, looking Lynn up and down, making him feel uncomfortable, before saying:

"I came here today for two reasons. Firstly, on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, I issued a 'Search for Gospel Society Members' mission to the Adventurers' Guild. Secondly, it's because of your matter."

"Me?" Lynn looked at Sia strangely. "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

"Weren't you going to go down into the dungeon?"

Xia looked at Lynn with the same look she gave her own silly child:

"Don't you need equipment to go into dungeons?"

"One-handed sword, spear, dagger, armor, shield... odor-eliminating oil, antidote, healing potions, map... and so on and so forth. You don't think you don't need to prepare any of these, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn turned to look at Mira and raised an eyebrow.

Clearly, Lynn's intention was to continue exploiting Mira's inventory for free.

Mira lowered her eyes, too lazy to look at Lynn, this freeloader:

"Don't look at me, that's my inventory from when I was still an adventurer."

"Also, you're so 'smart,' couldn't you guess that Sia wanted you to go to her to get these resources?"
