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

Damn it, I was fooled by that family of stupid women!

The truly insidious one is that old fox, Jacken!

That's right. Without the old man's tacit approval, how could those two incredibly stupid women have plotted against his nephew?

At this moment, the counter clerk was not surprised to see that Lynn looked quite unwell.

After all, if someone accepts a task, has their commission reduced immediately, and then that same family sends them a second, similar task with a large commission, it would be strange if they weren't furious.

"Adventurer, if you need, I can help you withdraw from the previous mission."

"According to the rules, you can leave the task without taking any responsibility for your situation just now."

"no need."

Lynn controlled her tone, trying to keep it calm so the counter clerk wouldn't notice anything amiss:

"Can I accept that gentleman's missing person search request?"

The clerk immediately nodded upon hearing this: "Of course! These kinds of missing person quests are not limited by adventurer level, you can accept them all at the same time."

"Then remember me."

As Lynn spoke, he pointed the holy mark on his hand toward the demon realm beside him to verify his identity.

After the Demon Realm scanned the Holy Marks, Lynn accepted two missions.

With the teller busy, these two tasks were entered into the Stigmata System.

[Mission 1: Locate Lynn Knightworth (target information attached), commission 2 fiat currency, limited to 1 people per 1 people.]

[Mission 2: Locate Lynn Knightworth (target information attached), commission 30 fiat currency, limited to 1 people per 100 people.]

After accepting the mission, Lynn repeatedly clenched his fists and adjusted his breathing.

A manhunted by 99 people? When did Lynn become such a sought-after figure?

Just then, Lynn saw Miss Mira enter the counter from the side.

"Manager Mira," the teller called out as soon as she saw Mira return.

At that moment, Mira also noticed Lynn, who was still at the counter:

"Sir, do you have any further questions?"

Upon seeing Mira, Lynn's eyes flickered for a moment before he asked:

"I do have some questions I need to ask you."

"I need the consultant's support regarding accommodation and skills upgrades."

-----------------

20 minutes later,

Led by Mira, Lynn entered the Adventurers' Guild's fifth-floor room.

"This is a talent room provided by the Adventurers' Guild for new adventurers to get through the early stages. According to the rules, you can stay here for free for 7 days, and the total cost within 90 days is only 1 fiat currency."

Mira walked ahead, introducing Lynn to the Adventurers' Guild's talent room.

This includes basic catering services, cleaning services, hot water supply, magic stone lamp lighting, and billed clothing change services.

After the introductions were finished, Mira added:

"As for what you want to know, the plan to quickly improve your knowledge, swordsmanship, appraisal, stealth and other skills."

"My recommendation is basic swordsmanship. You can find a qualified swordsmanship teacher, the fee is about 5 francs per hour."

"In addition, regarding the knowledge of the mind, there is a small library on the third floor of the guild headquarters, which contains a lot of knowledge that adventurers can learn."

"You can use your room card to enter the library to study and quickly improve your 'learned brain' level."

"As for learning stealth, you'll need to find instructors from the Thieves' Guild. The cost is about 2 fiat currency per hour. If you need help, I'll need some time to contact them, about half an hour, before I can give you an answer."

Listening to Miss Mira's introduction, Lynn frowned and said:

"What about Appraisal Skill? What kind of teacher should I find if I want to level it up quickly?"

Mira smiled and said:

"You may not know this, but the easiest place to upgrade your Appraisal skill is in the dungeon."

"What the art of authentication requires is the attitude of witnessing all things firsthand."

"And the underground city is recognized as the place with the most variety and the most strange things."

"If you want to quickly upgrade your Appraisal skill, going to the dungeon is the best choice."

Upon hearing this, Lynn fell into deep thought.

His most important task right now is to quickly level up his skills and increase his adventurer level.

Only in this way could he hide himself from Jacken's pursuit and the adventurers' tracking.

At present, the most urgent task is to improve the level of the survival skill 'stealth'.

The leveling up of other skills is all for the purpose of improving this skill.

But now, Lynn has a problem.

He doesn't have much money left!

He originally had 120 million legal tender, of which 5 was used to exempt him from novice contribution and purchase adventurer qualifications, and 110 million was used to purchase four skills.

So now, all he has left is a loan of nearly 5 francs and 350 francs in living expenses that he scavenged from Lynn Knightworth's drawer.

The Adventurers' Guild's newbie training quarters are a safe zone; anyone staying here will be protected by the guild.

Even if Lynn were discovered, no one dared to forcibly take him away from the Adventurers' Guild.

Therefore, Lynn had to pay the 10,000 fiat currency for the three months of safe house.

This left Lynn with less than 40,000 fiat currency. He still needed money to make ends meet, and the amount he could use was no more than 35,000.

He clearly didn't have much money left, but it wasn't impossible for him to squeeze out five thousand to test the speed of skill improvement under the guidance of a teacher.

"Then I'll trouble Miss Mira to find me a swordsmanship teacher for the time being."

Before the swordsmanship teacher arrived, Lynn planned to go to the library to level up his Erudite Brain.

However, after Lynn said those words, Miss Mira smiled and said:

"Then let's go."

Where to?

Lynn paused for a moment, then asked instinctively.

At this moment, Mira said with a smile:

"Of course, we'll take you to the training room for swordsmanship instruction."

At this moment, Mira twitched her white fox ears and said with a sly glint in her eyes:

"It might sound a bit boastful, but my swordsmanship skill level is over 30!"

Upon seeing that sly smile, Lynn immediately stood at attention.

"Please give me some guidance, teacher!!"

Chapter 6 is, Teacher!

Adventurers' Guild, Headquarters, 8th Floor.

Inside the military training room.

Lynn, who had changed into a loose white training uniform and cinched her waist with a belt, tried to avert her gaze and avoid taking a close look at the 'consultant lady' in front of her.

At this moment, the consultant changed into a loose black training uniform, cinched at the waist with a white belt, and even her long silver hair was tied up high, revealing her smooth, jade-like neck.

This outfit, paired with those fox ears that symbolize the fox clan, truly gave Lynn a headache, as it was the first time she had ever seen such an outfit.

"The basics of swordsmanship mainly train the fundamentals."

"Proficiency in the six basic sword techniques and mastery of body power generation when holding a sword."

"If you master the basic techniques of footwork, breathing, power generation, and movement, your swordsmanship level will be raised to level 5 or above."

"It can be said that before skill level 10, there is almost no difficulty; it is all about testing basic skills."

Listening to the consultant's introduction, Lynn tried to shift his gaze, and soon his eyes were focused on Mira's hands.

At this moment, Mira held a thin, long wooden stick in her hand, and gently tapped the stick against her palm.

The straight stick quickly caught Lynn's eye.

After all, what normal man could resist a straight stick?

However, the stick disappeared from Lynn's sight the next second.

By the time Lynn reacted, the stick had already struck the back of his hand with a soft snap.

"Focus your attention."

Hearing the warning, Lynn raised his head and met Mira's stern, deep blue eyes.

A sharp pain shot through the back of his hand, but Lynn didn't complain. He focused his mind and looked at Mira with a serious expression.

At this moment, Mira calmly said:

"While I don't want to criticize your choice, among the vast majority of adventurers, you are among the relatively high starting point."

"If that 120 million legal tender is used on the right skills, it can allow a newcomer to quickly pass through the beginner stage of an adventurer and go further than ordinary people in this field."

Lynn pursed his lips upon hearing this, listening calmly to Mira's words.

Seeing Lynn's attitude, Mira sighed softly:

"As expected, you are fully aware of your own behavior."

"Then, let's forget what we just said for now and refocus our attention on the fundamentals of swordsmanship."

"Next, you will learn from me. First, memorize the basic movements, and then I will guide you to perform the movements correctly."

Mira then walked to the weapon rack beside her, picked out a sword from among the many one-handed swords, and handed it directly to Lynn:

"Try it out, this size should fit your hand well."

Lynn stepped forward, took the one-handed sword, gripped it a few times, and then casually swung it once.

However, he didn't feel anything special.

"Alright, first, assume a horse stance, and we'll begin with the most basic movement training."

"First is the chopping... Use your wrist to drive the sword, striking the target from above or from the side. Remember, the force must be transferred from the blade to the tip; this is the necessary force to ensure the power of the chopping."

Lynn stared intently at Mira's movements, while unnoticed by him, the 'Erudite Brain' skill on the skill level panel had already begun to flash.

[Ding! Knowledgeable Mind +3]

[Ding! Basic Swordsmanship +2]

"Secondly, there is the thrust, with the arm straight out, the sword blade and arm in a straight line, the force reaching the tip of the sword, short and direct, which is the core principle of this move."

[Ding! Knowledgeable Mind +3]

[Ding! Basic Swordsmanship +2]

About 50 minutes later, Mira, who hadn't even caught her breath, looked at Lynn, whose movements were quite skillful and showed he already had a basic understanding of swordsmanship, and paused for a moment, asking in surprise:

"You've studied swordsmanship before?"

Lynn, who was still practicing his thrusting motion, stopped after completing a movement and asked in confusion:

"No, this is the first time learning it. Isn't it all newly taught?"

Mira paused for a moment upon hearing this. She recalled the teaching session just now and immediately realized that Lynn's basic movements seemed to have quickly progressed from clumsy imitation to proficiency.

Could he be a swordsmanship genius?

No... Mira quickly realized:

"What is the role of a learned mind?"
