If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

Are you sure this clothing isn't too tight?

"10 minutes and 22 seconds."

Mira, leaning against the corridor wall, sighed:

"Next time, I'll try to keep my shower time under 3 minutes."

"By the way, if you're interested in assisted living skills, I suggest you learn 'cleaning techniques'."

"Some adventurers like to use that skill instead of bathing and washing clothes."

"Such a convenient skill?" Lynn walked over in surprise.

"As long as there is a market for a demand, there will be Stigmata Masters who will research the skills in that area and then sell them to adventurers. This is a very normal thing."

Mira turned around as she spoke, leaving Lynn with only her profile visible:

"Let's go eat in the restaurant area on the second floor."

"Oh, right."

Mira suddenly stopped and glanced back at Lynn, her azure eyes sweeping over the bat mask on Lynn's face.

"From now on, remember to wear a mask at all times except when you are in your room."

Lynn raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "For the sake of secrecy?"

"It's to save your life." Mira turned and walked towards the magic stone staircase.

Seeing this, Lynn remained silent for a few seconds, then started walking and chased after him.

Soon, the two of them took the magic stone staircase to the second floor.

On the second floor, Lynn had come here with Mira before, but he went to the VIP room area on the left. This time, the restaurant area is on the right.

After taking the magic stone stairs to the second floor of the guild, head to the right and you will soon enter the restaurant area.

What you see is a bustling scene of people coming and going.

A large group of adventurers crowded around the dining table to order food.

Lynn saw agile orcs, slender and tall elves, and even a creature with bat wings on its back, resembling a succubus.

Unfortunately, it seems to be a male succubus... Lynn pulled his gaze away from the handsome blue-haired succubus and turned to look at Mira:

Is the restaurant always this lively?

"It's not that every season is this lively, but winter is the peak season for dungeon adventures."

As Mira led Lynn toward the queue at the restaurant, she explained:

"Even adventurers who usually earn money through agriculture and animal husbandry will choose to venture into the dungeon to earn some extra money to supplement their household income during the winter season when they are not busy with work."

"After all, although the underground city has four seasons, it is said that it is a season that is always spring."

"So adventures can be seasonal?"

Just as Lynn was thinking this, conversations came from the table next to them where people were already eating.

"Sid, I heard you managed to snag that money-collecting mission?"

"Is that the mission where you have to pay 30 to find your nephew?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn's face, hidden behind the bat mask, stiffened for a moment, and his eyes instinctively drifted toward the dining table to his right.

"Don't look around." Mira suddenly reminded them, "Newcomers staring at others can easily cause conflict."

Lynn immediately stopped what she was doing and stopped looking in the direction where the person had just spoken.

Meanwhile, the exchanges continued over there.

"We managed to snag one, but the chances are slim."

"Why is the chance so slim?"

"I heard that a few canine adventurers have taken on the mission and have already gone to the place where that kid disappeared to sniff around. I don't have a dog's nose that sharp, so the chances of finding him are pretty slim, right?"

"The chances are slim, so why are you still taking the job? If the failure rate is too high, you might not be able to take on any more jobs in the future."

"Isn't this just to see if I'll step in dog poop? Besides, it's not like I wasn't prepared at all."

"I got the details of what that runaway young master looks like beforehand."

Upon hearing this, the adventurer beside him immediately let out a strange laugh:

"Sid, you old codger, you were really holding back!!"

"Then I wish you success in earning 300,000!"

"No, no, it's just a strange place."

Lynn's expression turned slightly unpleasant as he listened to the exchange.

The canine adventurers' pursuit? Besides, someone also got hold of his portrait?

Will his headshot be plastered all over the streets like a wanted poster in the future?

Has the situation become that serious?

Just then, Mira, who was standing in front, suddenly reached out and tugged at his right hand, saying briefly:

"There are too many people, let's go out to eat."

Upon hearing this, Lynn couldn't help but glance at Mira again before complying and leaving the restaurant area.

However, after leaving the restaurant area, Mira did not lead Lynn to the stairs next to the restaurant area, but instead took him directly to the magic stone stairs.

Seeing this, Lynn immediately became alert and instinctively used his stealth skills to silently follow Mira into the magic stone staircase.

After entering the magic stone staircase, Mira pressed the button for the fifth floor and then calmly said:

"That Sid from earlier is a well-known intelligence-based adventurer in the guild, whose profession is selling intelligence."

"You mean...?" Lynn suddenly realized, "That exchange just now was intentional. His purpose was to attract customers and sell portraits?"

Goodness, there are capitalists here who sell shovels to miners?

“That’s right.” Mira nodded. “In the intelligence circle, Sid is a veteran. If he says he has your portrait, he probably really has it.”

“In the circle of intelligence-based adventurers, selling false information is a very dangerous thing. It is easy to offend people and have your life threatened. So, normally speaking, he should really have a picture of you.”

Lynn clicked his tongue and laughed, "Goodness, I never thought my portrait could sell for money?"

Although she was smiling, Lynn became wary.

With such an intelligence dealer around, it means that before long, his portrait will probably be flying all over the city.

Although the Adventurers Guild only allows 100 people to take orders, who can guarantee that no one will bypass the Adventurers Guild and contact the employer privately for 30?

Given this possibility, Lynn naturally knew that his situation was quite dangerous.

More importantly, the so-called canine adventurers have already gone to the original owner's home. Who knows if they will smell something?

Seeing that Lynn was still in the mood to joke, Mira sighed helplessly:

"You still have the mood to joke?"

"But this mindset is good, remember to keep it up."

"As for now, go back to your room and apply the deodorizing oil."

Lynn's brow twitched: "Deodorizing oil can also protect against the noses of canine beastmen?"

“Yes,” Mira said succinctly.

"Then it's definitely worth applying."

Lynn nodded, but then immediately thought of that feeling, like that medicated oil:

"But, I don't expect to have to apply it every time I go out from now on, do I?"

“You can choose not to apply it.” Mira’s blunt words made Lynn’s lips twitch involuntarily.

Just then, the sound of birds chirping rang out, and the magic stone staircase reached the 5th floor.

At this moment, Mira, who had been the first to step out of the magic stone staircase, paused for a moment, then suddenly turned her back to Lynn and said:

"Although I think it's too early, after you've applied the oil, I'll still take you to see the Lion of Notary Public to refine your experience."

Lynn was surprised to hear this: "Can I level up now? I don't think I've done anything?"

Mira, who was standing at the front, took a slight breath and then explained:

"The upgrades for adventurers are also different."

"If you're willing to sacrifice some of your future and upgrade ahead of time, it shouldn't be something you can't do."

"Sacrificing the future?"

Lynn paused, turning his head to glance at Mira's profile:

"Then I'll have to calculate whether it's worth it."

Chapter 12 The Difference Between Geniuses and Mediocre People!

Soon, Lynn applied deodorizing oil to herself in room 503.

Perhaps because of his increased stamina, the heat was much less intense this time.

This difference made Lynn truly feel that he was becoming stronger.

"No wonder this oil sells so well... So the higher-grade versions completely ignore the negative effects?"

"I thought they ate Tiger Balm and fried eggs every day?"

Lynn muttered something, changed her clothes again, and then picked up the bat mask that she had casually tossed on the bed earlier.

Then, Lynn paused, glanced at the bat mask again, and then put it on:

"I'll buy a few more masks to keep on hand."

After putting on the mask, Lynn left his room and saw Mira again:

"Was I fast enough this time?"

Mira raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then closed her eyes slightly and twitched her nose as if she were sniffing something.

Seeing the girl close her eyes and raise her chin, Lynn almost hallucinated that she was asking for a kiss.

But when he caught a glimpse of the consultant's slightly trembling nose, Lynn realized that she was smelling something.

After a short while, Mira opened her eyes and nodded with a hint of relief:

"I didn't smell much of a odor. The oil application technique has improved since last time. It seems they were serious about applying it."

Upon hearing this, Lynn hesitated for a moment:

"So you mean you can still smell a faint odor?"

In response, Mira simply crossed her arms and calmly explained:

"I possess the skill of specializing in my five senses, and my level is above 30!"

“If an adventurer of my caliber is really hunting you down, I think you'd be better off surrendering.”

"At least your relatives are much easier to deal with than these adventurers."

"Uh...."

Lynn was unable to refute it.

An adventurer with a skill level of 30 or higher who specifically trains their nose, must have an even higher level of combat skills, right?

Level 40? Or even level 50?

Faced with an adventurer of this caliber, he really might as well surrender first, wait until he's handed over to Jaken, and then try to fight back.

Believe it or not, things really turned out exactly as Mira said.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. Didn't we say we were going to find the Lion of Notaries?"

"Let's go downstairs."

Before Lynn could take a step, Mira called out to him:
