All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

In the afternoon, in the Silver Hand Castle, in the commission acceptance hall.

The young lady in charge of counting at the counter suddenly exclaimed:
"Lord of Holy Light! You said you have completed the mission?! But I remember you just accepted this mission!"

The young lady looked at the pitch-black claws that Wang Zhifan placed on the counter and couldn't believe that what the young man said was true.

"The bronze mission I accepted requires me to hand in a pair of front claws from a black claw beast. I think these are them, and they were just cut off."

As Wang Zhifan answered, he flipped the black claw on the counter and showed the counter lady the cross-section of the trophy so that she could see the extremely fine black flame emanating from the cross-section into the air. That was a typical feature of the black claw beast's body, and it could last for a short time even after death. Wang Zhifan learned this feature when he was collecting intelligence before.

The lady at the counter looked at the black claws carefully to make sure that she was not seeing things. Then she raised her hand and touched the back of her neck and said in an uncertain tone:

"Sir, what you handed over was indeed the claw of a black claw beast, and it was obtained within one Holy Light Hour... But as far as I know, the area where the black claw beasts are closest to Silver Castle is two days away. This doesn't make sense in terms of time..."

"Miss, this is because I was lucky. I just left the city and encountered a black claw beast that happened to be in front of me. Please follow the rules."

Wang Zhifan replied with a serious expression, not caring at all how far-fetched what he said was.

But the lady at the counter was not such an inflexible person. She felt that there was no point in continuing to discuss this issue, so she took the black claw on the counter, paid Wang Zhifan the corresponding silver and copper coins, and then exchanged a bronze plate engraved with the pattern of knight's gloves for the white wooden plate presented by Wang Zhifan, and wrote a record in the notebook:
"...On the thirteenth holy light hour on the ninth day of the Sea Breeze Month, Mr. Wang, the white wooden card number 28671, was upgraded to the bronze card number 5793."

Wang Zhifan held the bronze plate and watched her finish writing the copy of the text that he could barely recognize, and then he said:
"Miss, I want to take a red copper level mission."

"Are you sure? Don't you need to take a break?"

The lady at the counter was a little confused.

But Wang Zhifan did not answer her. He just looked at her seriously, letting her know that she was talking nonsense again. She quickly opened the thick stack of power of attorney and quickly searched for Wang Zhifan.

"Mr. Wang, since you are good at hunting monsters, then continue to accept copper-level monster hunting missions. Currently, there are icy ghosts, high-level iron corpses, and mourning monsters..."

"Which one is closest?"

Wang Zhifan interrupted her and asked immediately after hearing her recite a few names of monsters.

"This... could it be a high-level iron corpse? I remember someone mentioned seeing them in the ruins of the Quiet City in the north a few days ago..."

"Then let's go with the Iron Corpse. I will bring back a high-level Iron Corpse's head as requested by the commission."

After Wang Zhifan finished speaking, he turned and left, walking towards the castle gate.

After he left, a thin young man in a simple robe came to the counter, took out a pile of bottles and jars, put them on the counter, and asked the counter lady to count them.

The lady at the counter completed her work skillfully, and then said to the skinny young wizard who looked not wealthy:

"Mr. Joseph, this is your reward for making medicine. You have already met the contribution point requirements. Do you want me to upgrade it to a red bronze medal for you?"

"No, Miss Daiya, you know that the red bronze medal is not suitable for me. I don't have the confidence to face the red bronze level mission that I have to take every six months. It will cost me my life."

The thin young wizard waved his hands repeatedly, fearing that Miss Dia would accidentally upgrade his brand.

The lady at the counter, called Deya, couldn't help but shake her head and said to Joseph, who was dressed simply:
"Joseph, you should learn from the gentleman who just left! He just upgraded from white wood to bronze today, and he dared to accept a copper-level mission, and it was a high-level iron corpse that was very difficult for him as a warrior to deal with! You have completed hundreds of bronze missions, please believe in your ability, you can try to challenge copper-level enemies, and if you are not sure, you can find someone to team up with. The rewards for copper-level missions are much richer than those for bronze-level missions..."

The lady kept talking, but the thin young wizard raised his lips and asked her with a look of discovery:

"Ms. Daiya, are you serious? A warrior who has just been upgraded to bronze is going to challenge a high-level iron corpse? This is really ridiculous! I think you may not have a second chance to see him again..."

As he spoke, he rested his hands on the edge of the counter and rested his chin on his arms. His eyes narrowed in amusement and he looked like he was about to die of laughter.

However, just when he wanted to continue chatting with Miss Daya about this new topic, a sound of footsteps came slowly from behind him, causing the counter lady in front of him to reveal a puzzled look, and made him turn his head curiously.

Then he saw a tall young man in silver-gray steel armor walking towards the counter carrying a heavy sackcloth bag. It seemed that he was here to deliver the same task as him.

"Did I see this person before?"

Joseph suddenly felt a little confused and felt that he had a slight impression of this person.

In front of him, the lady at the counter spoke at the right time and said to Wang Zhifan who was approaching the counter:

"Mr. Wang, why are you back so soon? Is there anything you need to know?"

From her words, we can know that she only thought that Wang Zhifan turned back for something, and it couldn't be for any other reason.

But Wang Zhifan did not respond to her words. Instead, he raised his hand and placed the heavy linen bag steadily on the counter, then said:

"I'm here to deliver a mission. This bag contains fresh high-grade iron corpse heads. Please check it, young lady."

As soon as he said this, Miss Daya was stunned for half a second, then she immediately opened the linen bag and took a look, and found that there was indeed a hideous iron corpse head inside, with gray liquid flowing from the broken end. The iron corpse's eyes were also very shiny, showing the characteristics of a fresh and authentic product that was difficult to forge.

"This this……"

Although the things in front of her looked genuine, Miss Daiya still couldn't believe it, because Wang Zhifan had only been out for a few minutes after accepting this task, and he didn't even have enough time to leave the Silver Castle, let alone go to the ruins of the quiet city in the north to forge iron corpses. But Wang Zhifan was prepared for this step, and immediately explained very seriously:

"Miss, I just happened to find it at a nearby sewer exit. Its headless body is still there. You can send someone to check it out. You know, sometimes luck comes and nothing can stop it."

The lady at the counter was startled when she heard this, and she opened her eyes wide and exclaimed:
"An Iron Corpse has entered the Silver Castle?! We must find out the source as soon as possible! Please lead the way, Mr. Wang. I will report it to the Knights for inspection immediately..."

"It's outside this castle. You can go check it out now. A knight has already noticed it, so there's no need to bother you to report it."

As soon as Wang Zhifan finished speaking, the young wizard Joseph who was listening nearby turned around and ran to the door, obviously wanting to verify it with his own eyes. However, Miss Daya who was in charge of the counter did not leave without permission. Her duties did not allow her to do so, not to mention that someone had already started urging her to handle the business.

"Please settle my copper-level mission, upgrade my bronze medal to copper, and arrange a steel-level mission for me."

"Good, good."

Miss Daya's brain was paralyzed by Wang Zhifan's series of moves, and she could only act based on her skilled business skills. After all, she was sure that the high-level iron corpse head handed over by Wang Zhifan was genuine and could not be faked at all.

Wang Zhifan thus completed the upgrade again and asked Miss Daiya to write down for him in the notebook:

"...On the thirteenth holy light hour of the ninth day of the Sea Breeze Moon, Mr. Wang, the bronze medal number 5793, was upgraded to the red bronze medal number 3622."

However, in the fine steel mission, Miss Daiya said that there were some changes in the mission situation and said to Wang Zhifan:

"Mr. Wang, according to the latest requirements of the Silver Hand Knights, in order to reduce casualties among professionals, starting from the Fine Steel Level mission, all participants must form a team, at least a team of three. So if you want to accept the Fine Steel Level mission, you must find two more teammates."

This rule is undoubtedly unfriendly to lone wolves like Wang Zhifan, but his expression remained unchanged. He said to the lady at the counter in a serious tone:

"Then please recommend two teammates for me. The sooner the better. I will accept any level. I hope to set off to do the adamantium-level mission today."

"..."

Listening to the young man's talk of reincarnation, Ms. Deya at the counter was speechless for several seconds. She happened to see the skinny wizard boy Joseph who had just left running back, shouting excitedly:
"There really is an Iron Corpse out there! Its head was chopped off! The end of its neck is incredibly smooth! A knight has already entered the sewer to investigate!"

When the lady at the counter heard his exclamation, she realized that she had been distracted. Then she suddenly had an idea and suggested to Wang Zhifan who was looking at her:

"Mr. Wang, if you are really in a hurry, you can try to team up with Mr. Joseph. He is an excellent mage. Although he is only at the bronze level, he already has the strength of the red copper level... As for the other one, she should be here soon."

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and looked towards the door in front of her, trying to find a figure among the people coming in. After a few seconds, her eyes lit up and she discovered something, and quickly called the other person over.

Wang Zhifan and Joseph, who were standing by the counter, turned around and looked back, and saw a girl with short golden hair stumbling into the door, carrying a bundle of something and walking towards the counter.

The girl was wearing simple women's steel armor, a silver knight's hat on her head, and a silver sword at her waist. She looked like a female knight, with a tomboyish style. At first glance, outsiders would think she was a short young knight, but only after taking a closer look could one tell from her face that she was delicate.

Wang Zhifan immediately determined that the female knight had a problem with her left leg, which caused her steps to be abnormal. At the same time, the introduction of the counter lady Daiya rang in his ears:
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Joseph, she is Miss Anna of the Red Bronze level! Although her left leg is a little inconvenient, she has rich mission experience, strong and reliable, and has completed more than 60 Red Bronze level missions alone! Miss Anna has expressed to me many times that she hopes to participate in the Fine Steel level missions, but has not been able to find a suitable teammate. If you two are willing..."

"What?! A steel-level mission?!"

Joseph, a thin young man in a simple robe, almost jumped up in fright when he heard this. He didn't even dare to participate in a copper-level mission, let alone a higher-level steel-level mission. He subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But at this moment, Wang Zhifan, who was standing next to him, used some tricks to forcibly distort his thoughts for a moment, causing him to speak involuntarily:

"Great! I must participate!"

After saying this, Joseph could hardly believe what he had done. He stared blankly, looking a little funny. However, the counter lady, Deya, did not focus on him. Instead, she looked at the approaching young knight Anna and said:
"Anna! We have found your teammate who will be participating in the fine steel mission! This is Mr. Wang! He was promoted from white wood to red bronze in one day. His strength is terrifying! And Joseph, you must know him. He just agreed to participate in the fine steel mission!"

After listening to what Deya said, the young knight with short golden hair put a bundle of blood-red plants in her hand on the counter and looked at her two potential teammates. She first glanced at Joseph, whom she knew, and then looked at Wang Zhifan, whom she met for the first time.

For a moment, she felt a majestic aura from the tall young man, as glorious and majestic as the gods in the legend. She quickly shook her head to free herself from this sudden absurd illusion.

"Anna, you don't..."

Miss Diya at the counter saw Anna shaking her head, thinking she was unhappy, and quickly asked.

But Anna answered more quickly:
"I do! I must upgrade to the adamantium level! No matter how dangerous it is, nothing can stop me!"

"Okay, then let's start selecting appropriate adamantium-level tasks."

Wang Zhifan smiled immediately after hearing this. He was very pleased that he had found his teammates so quickly, and urged the lady at the counter to start working.

Joseph, the young wizard standing by, felt like he was seeing a ghost. How could he, a bronze-level player who didn't even dare to participate in a copper-level mission, be involved in a steel-level mission? Feeling that if he didn't say anything, a serious misunderstanding would arise, he quickly said to Miss Daiya at the counter:
"Ms. Deya! This is an opportunity (misunderstanding)! I want to participate (quit)!"

As soon as he said this, what was clearly a statement of running away turned into a strange declaration of participation, causing Miss Daiya, who was looking for the commissioned task book, to look up at him and said with a smile:

"I know! Mr. Joseph, I believe in your ability the most!"

For a moment, the young wizard Joseph was embarrassed because he also wanted to save face. If he continued to run away, he might not be able to face Miss Dea in the future. (End of this chapter)
