If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will 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, reached out and patted 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 by 'can't' or 'can't'! I already said it was 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 adventurers who accepted the mission for lost work time."

Adventurers Guild missions can be cancelled, but a 10% cancellation fee will be charged, with the guild paying half and the remaining half split equally among the adventurers who accepted the mission.

In total, each of the 100 adventurers who accept the mission can receive 150 legal tender.

Although it was pitifully small, 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. Naturally, he was not satisfied.

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

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

Luke stammered, not daring to look up at Lynn, afraid that if he looked at her any longer, Lynn would think he was being disrespectful.

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

If it weren't for that turtle grandson issuing that mission, this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened.

Yeah, it's all Jeken's fault.

Thinking of this, Lynn reminded Luke:

"Remember not to shout about insider dealings next time. Shouting such things without a proper investigation 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"?

Also, are there people in this world who would take a beating as an apology?

At this moment, Lynn asked curiously:

"By the way, what level of 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 all this? It's not like he's being interrogated...

Luke glanced at Sia and Mira.

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

"Wow? A genius!"

Hearing Luke claim to be a Level 7, Lynn looked over in surprise.

Unexpectedly, this reckless young man is actually quite high-level, and he even has 3 attribute upgrades?

Does this mean that you train all 3 attributes before choosing to upgrade, and then upgraded all the way to level 7?

In other words, Luke's five attributes are at least three 8s, with the highest one possibly reaching 14.

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, do you want to leave an address?"

Luke's expression stiffened upon hearing this. Did they need to make an appointment to cause trouble?

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 the fishy smell, he turned and ran away quickly, his steps disordered as if a pack of wolves was 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 and knowing that Luke lived on the same floor as him, Lynn, who had been planning to kick down Luke's door after leveling up, looked over with some confusion:

"Fiona Mutual Aid Association?"

At this moment, Sia explained with a smile:

"The militia that the residents of Dongcheng District spontaneously formed to ensure stability is probably just a group of newcomers who are still dreaming of being heroes in the eyes of the military police."

At this point, Mira added:

"The original Adventurers' Guild and the Thieves' Guild almost all came about in this way."

Upon hearing this, Lynn raised an eyebrow. He wasn't concerned that the Adventurers' Guild had such a background, but rather about the problems that would arise from Luke being a member of that mutual aid society:

"Will 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 people too badly afterwards."

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

"It was a misunderstanding; there's no need to make things so ugly."

Lynn nodded upon hearing this, and then suddenly said:

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

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

In an instant,

Sia, Mira, and Ramie 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 and then said:

"He just misunderstood and slandered me. I plan to beat him up. After that, we'll be even for now."

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

"Won't he think I'm easy to bully? Won't he think it's normal for him to get away with nothing after slandering me?"

"Then it gradually develops into the idea that once something happens that harms one's interests, without even thinking, one should escalate the situation and wait for others to yield to them so that they can become the ultimate beneficiary? Eventually, it develops into offending the wrong people and getting taken down?"

"But what if I beat him up now?"

Lynn then raised her chin and said maliciously:

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

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

"So, tell me, didn't I save him?"

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

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

Ramy, holding Miss Snowball, stared blankly at Lynn, then nodded in realization:

"That seems to be the case!!"

Upon hearing this, Sia gave Ramie a strange look, then reached out and patted her shoulder, saying:

"Rami, from now on, before you do anything Lynn asks you to do, think about what will happen after you do it. Think 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 around and say to Mira:

"This rascal, is he always this talkative?"

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

"There really is a part of it 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 else could I possibly have to do?"

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

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

"Going into the dungeon, don't we need equipment?"

"One-handed sword, spear, dagger, armor, shield... odor-eliminating oil, antidote, healing potions, map... and so on and so forth. You don't actually think these things are unnecessary, do you?"

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

Clearly, Lynn's intention was to continue to freeload off Mira's inventory.

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

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

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