18: Are all the young people nowadays so reckless? !
“Hey!”
“Are you capable or not?”
At the Adventurer's Guild front desk, Wang Chen looked at Situ Yu, whose pretty face was flushed, and asked with some confusion.
“Ah?”
Hearing this, Situ Yu responded guiltily, and fumbled to hand over the quest list.
“You pick, I’ll accompany you!”
She said, her voice lacking confidence.
“How strange!”
Taking the quest list, Wang Chen mumbled.
However, he didn't pay too much attention; since Situ Yu wanted to be a hands-off boss, he would decide himself.
“Hello.”
Placing the quest list in front of the Young Miss at the front desk, Wang Chen greeted her politely, then said:
“I want to accept quests number 326 and 327.”
“These are our two Adventurer Cards.”
As he spoke, Wang Chen handed over his and Situ Yu's Adventurer Cards as well.
“Alright, sir, please wait a moment.”
Hearing this, the Young Miss at the front desk smiled back, then lowered her head and began to busy herself.
But…
“Just changed professions?”
When she scanned the information on Wang Chen’s and Situ Yu’s Adventurer Cards, she couldn't help but exclaim.
“Sir, would you like to reconsider?”
“The Golden Scaled Python is a Rank 35 monster!”
The Young Miss at the front desk looked at Wang Chen and Situ Yu as if they were monsters.
Two newly changed professions, new recruits, taking on a D-Rank quest, in her opinion, was no different from seeking death.
Are today’s young people all so reckless?
“Thank you for your reminder, we have already considered it.”
Wang Chen was grateful for the Young Miss's kindness, but at the same time, he shook his head without hesitation.
He entered the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range to quickly improve his strength and earn money, and he didn't intend to compete with other new recruits for those pitifully weak monsters.
“This…”
Hearing his words, the Young Miss at the front desk hesitated.
She really couldn't bear to see this handsome guy go to his death in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.
But seeing Wang Chen's persistence, she still nodded silently.
“Alright!”
“Please wait!”
…
…
In the hall, the adventurers who saw there was no excitement to watch all began to busy themselves with their own affairs.
However, when they heard the Young Miss at the front desk's exclamation, everyone's eyes, by prior agreement, fell on Wang Chen and Situ Yu.
“Holy cow!”
“Did I hear that right just now? Golden Scaled Python, are these two youngsters planning to directly challenge a D-Rank quest?”
“They’re crazy! They’re crazy! They just changed professions, their Rank is only 10, are they planning to be a meal for the Golden Scaled Python?”
“Are today’s young people all so reckless?”
“I remember when I first changed professions, the first quest I took was to deal with Rank 10 Red-Eyed Rats!”
“…”
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and everyone felt as if they had heard an illusion.
New recruits challenging a Golden Scaled Python, there was a Rank difference of twenty-five Ranks!
This isn't how you seek death!
For a moment, many adventurers looked at Wang Chen and Situ Yu with sympathetic eyes.
Goodness, these two people look so good, but they have a big problem with their brains!
And in the crowd, Chen Hao, who was filled with immense resentment, was also attracted by these discussions.
“Heh heh!”
“Wang Chen, oh Wang Chen, a country bumpkin is indeed a country bumpkin, with no self-awareness at all!”
Chen Hao's face was filled with sneers, and his gaze towards Wang Chen was utterly contemptuous.
He and his classmates formed a standard four-person team, and everyone had at least bronze equipment.
Such a lineup was already a luxurious configuration among new recruits, but even so, Chen Hao did not dare to challenge the Golden Scaled Python.
He really couldn't understand if Wang Chen had eaten the heart of a bear and guts of a leopard, or if he had gone mad, to dare to accept a quest of this difficulty.
However…
Chen Hao, with a face full of sneers, saw Situ Yu sign the quest acceptance form without hesitation, and his expression became twisted again.
He felt at this moment that his heart had been severely stabbed.
Damn it!
Wang Chen is crazy!
And the goddess is actually accompanying him in his madness?!
What is wrong with this world?!
“Damn Wang Chen, what kind of mesmerizing potion did you give Situ Yu?”
Thinking silently in his heart, Chen Hao's face was hideous, like a devil.
…
…
“The time limit for D-Rank quests is one month. If the quest item is not submitted after one month, the quest will automatically be judged as a failure.”
After entering the data into the System, the Young Miss at the front desk handed the Adventurer Card to Wang Chen, while also instructing him.
“Thank you, you’ve worked hard!”
Taking the card, Wang Chen nodded politely in thanks, then turned to look at Situ Yu.
“Alright, now we should depart.”
“The light rail to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range departs every half hour. If we head to the station now, we can just catch the next one.”
As he spoke, Wang Chen led Situ Yu directly out of the Adventurer's Guild hall.
As for the scrutinizing gazes and discussions, he didn't pay them any mind at all. Just because others couldn't do something didn't mean he couldn't.
After the two of them left, the gathered adventurers shook their heads and no longer paid attention to this small interlude.
Only one person, however, looked at Wang Chen and Situ Yu's backs with venomous eyes, not retracting his gaze until they disappeared from sight.
“Brother Hao, what do we do now?”
A young man with a face full of pockmarks patted Chen Hao’s shoulder, bringing his attention back.
“What to do?”
Chen Hao said with a venomous tone:
“Since they accepted the quest to hunt the Golden Scaled Python, we’ll accept it too!”
“I don’t believe it, no matter how strong they are as two people, can they be stronger than the four of us?”
“This…” Hearing Chen Hao’s words, the expressions of the three young men who had gathered around became somewhat hesitant.
In their opinion, Wang Chen and Situ Yu dared to accept the Golden Scaled Python quest because of Young Miss Situ Yu.
As the top wealthy family in Dongling City, the Situ Family, who knows how many life-saving equipment and Dao items they would prepare for Young Miss Situ Yu.
Perhaps, there were even Rank 3 experts secretly protecting her.
Them?
Although they were also considered upper-class families in Dongling City, they were not on the same level as Situ Yu. How could they compare to her?
“What?”
Seeing the hesitation on his three companions’ faces, Chen Hao frowned, his tone somewhat displeased.
“Are my words no longer effective?”
He looked at his three companions and said.
“No, no.”
Under Chen Hao's gaze, the three young men quickly shook their heads in denial.
The gap between them and Situ Yu was like heaven and earth, and the gap between them and Chen Hao was also quite large.
So at this moment, they dared not refute Chen Hao, and could only curse Wang Chen to hell in their hearts.
“Damn Wang Chen, you country bumpkin, what are you trying to show off in front of Situ Yu?”
“Don’t let us meet you alone in the future, otherwise you won’t have a good time.”
Thinking resentfully in their hearts, the three of them wore expressions as if their parents had died, and walked to the front desk to register.
