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

At this moment, even the usually taciturn Jeken couldn't help but say something:

"Let's keep the costs as low as possible."

The counter staff nearby overheard the family's conversation and barely managed to suppress the urge to roll their eyes.

If it weren't for the guild's etiquette requirements, she really would have rolled her eyes.

At that moment, Lynn, who had his back to the family of gods, seemed to hear something and turned his head to look in the direction of the Tanning family.

Seeing signs of commotion over there, Lynn was a little curious about what they were saying, but worried about being exposed, she suppressed her curiosity and quickened her pace to get away.

Mira, who was following beside him, couldn't help but glance at Lynn again, then looked in the direction of the Tan Ning family, before turning around, quickening her pace, and catching up with Lynn.

Not long after, Lynn and Mira returned to the VIP room.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room, a cat-eared kemonomimi girl stood holding a small suitcase, seemingly waiting for the two of them.

"Senior Mira," the cat-eared girl called out upon seeing her.

"You don't need to watch the box anymore, go out first," Mira said, waving her hand.

The cat-eared girl nodded upon hearing this, then bowed to Lynn and voluntarily left the VIP room.

Lynn walked to the sofa chair, sat down, and said:

"You scared me to death! Thank goodness you didn't call my name."

Mira glanced at Lynn with a hint of curiosity upon hearing this:

“What you just saw was…”

At this point, Lynn explained with a smile, "I ran into an enemy and took the opportunity to tease them a bit."

Mira wasn't sure what Lynn was specifically trying to say, but she remembered that Lynn had a grudge against the Tan Ning family.

After all... families that engage in such behavior are unlikely to avoid making enemies!

After learning about the conflict between Lynn and the Tanning family, Mira thought for a moment and offered a reminder:

"According to the laws of Mona City, adventurers are prohibited from attacking civilians within the city."

The implication is that if there's any conflict, you'd better go outside the city to resolve it.

Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately retorted, "What if civilians attack adventurers?"

Mira then calmly said, "When faced with deliberate harm from egalitarian views, you will have unlimited power to fight back."

"Oh, so you can fight back. That's alright then."

Mira was a little unsure of what to say after hearing this.

Do you really want to start a fight in the city?

At this point, Lynn, having understood the rules of counterattack, nodded and then changed the subject:

"Can I receive my skill stone now?"

Mira nodded upon hearing this and reached for the suitcase:

"Of course!"

"This is your right!"

Chapter 4 Wishing you a pleasant adventure!

With a thud.

Miss Mira opened the box on the table, revealing the contents lined with red cloth.

Those were four badge-sized objects that looked like stones.

Two are white and two are blue; these are the skill stones that Lynn has been longing for.

"The method of using skill stones is very simple: place the skill stone on the stigma and it will be absorbed through the stigma system."

Mira picked up a white skill stone and glanced up at Lynn:

"After using a skill stone, the skill icon will appear on the interface of the Stigmata system."

"The initial level is 1. In the basic stage before level 5, there are basically no bottlenecks."

"A normal adventurer can raise their initial skill to level 10 in about 3 years."

"What about non-initial skills?" Lynn raised his finger and pointed to the blue skill stone in the box.

That is the vehicle for the two skills of stealth and erudition.

Seeing Lynn's curiosity, Mira's fox ears twitched, and she immediately explained:

"According to adventurers, the learning difficulty and efficiency of advanced skills are about three times that of initial skills."

"Higher-level elite skills are five times stronger than advanced skills, and even stronger hero skills are doubled on top of that."

"Considering the difficulty of learning, and the fact that advanced initial skills are not necessarily unable to compete with advanced skills."

"Therefore, from a practical point of view, a high-level initial skill is often more useful than some elite skills."

Mira seemed to be trying to remind Lynn not to be too ambitious and pursue higher-level skills excessively.

However, she only touched on the point briefly. After speaking, seeing that Lynn didn't care, she handed him a white skill stone.

"You can try absorbing it and see."

Lynn, who was already burning with desire, immediately took the skill stone and affixed it to the diamond-shaped stigma on the back of his right hand.

[Ding! Skill Stone Found. Absorb?]

The reminder from the Stigmata system arrived as scheduled.

Lynn chose to absorb it without hesitation.

Then another notification sound rang out.

[Skill 'Appraisal' has been learned, current level Lv1.]

After the prompt sounded, another mechanical sound with a different timbre rang out.

[Skill 'Appraisal' detected! Skill level system activated!]

[Appraisal Skill: Lv1 (0/10)]

[Current upgrade requirements: 10 successful assessments.]

As Lynn watched as the Appraisal skill was entered into the skill level system, he breathed a sigh of relief and also took a look at the skill level system.

'Can I upgrade after using it 10 times?'

Lynn raised an eyebrow, then focused his attention on Mira's face:

"Miss Consultant, how can this appraisal technique be upgraded?"

"Just use it more and assess it more; upgrading this initial skill in the early stages isn't too difficult..."

Mira paused here, then said thoughtfully:

"In the early stages, based on my understanding, I estimate that after a few dozen successful appraisals, I should be able to level up to level 2, right?"

"Increasing skill level and increasing adventurer level are two different ways to improve."

"The advancement of an adventurer's level is the process by which people accumulate experience in life and battle, and through the notarization of the Lion of Justice, they extract this experience and thus advance in level."

"Skill levels primarily reflect the skill level adventurers have acquired, but there isn't a precise quantitative measure for leveling up."

Lynn didn't hear Mira's words clearly. During the conversation, he couldn't contain his thoughts and threw an appraisal at the white skill stone in the box in front of him.

[Authentication successful!]

[One Basic Skill Stone containing the basic skill 'Swordsmanship Basics', crafted by the Stigmata Alchemist, requires Stigmata activation.]

[Appraisal +1]

[Current Assessment Techniques (1/10)]

Seeing that the forensic examination was successful, a look of joy appeared on Lynn's face.

However, at this moment, the consultant's serious voice rang out:

"Your Excellency, are you listening to me?"

"Ah... I'm sorry."

Lynn immediately realized what was happening, awkwardly scratched her thigh, and said with an unnatural expression:

"I just tried out a skill, sorry, I was distracted... What did you just say?"

Mira glanced at Lynn, her gaze sweeping over his face, before calmly explaining:

"Please use the skill stones you bought first, and then I will explain the issue of adventurer leveling up to you."

Lynn obediently did as he was told and used up the remaining 3 skill stones in front of him.

[Ding! You have gained the skill 'Stealth'!]

[Ding! You have acquired the skill 'Swordsmanship Basics'!]

[Ding! You have gained the skill 'Erudite Mind'!]

Lynn couldn't help but glance at his own panel.

[Adventurer: Lynn]

[Level: Lv1]

[Constitution: 1]

【Spirit: 1】

【Strength: 1】

[Endurance: 1]

[Agility: 1]

[Skills: Appraisal Lv1, Swordsmanship Basics Lv1, Stealth Lv1, Knowledgeable Mind Lv1.]

【Stigmata Attribute: None】

However, this is the panel of the Stigmata system. What's really important to Lynn is the number on the skill level panel.

Skill Level System

【鑑定術Lv1（1/10），劍術基礎Lv1（0/10），潛行Lv1（0/10），博學之腦Lv1（0/10）】

Upon seeing the panel, Lynn immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Skills for leveling up (Appraisal), skills for learning skills (Brain of Knowledge), combat skills (Basic Swordsmanship), and finally, survival skills (Stealth).

With the current configuration, Lynn felt there was nothing wrong with it, and naturally felt much more at ease.

At this point, the consultant began introducing the adventurer's basic information:

"Because the adventurer's level is increased in the Stigmata system by extracting the adventurer's 'experience' and converting it into experience, adventurers often need to have their adventures appraised by the Lion of Justice to transform them into experience for leveling up."

"Therefore, it is recommended that you regularly visit the Lion of Justice after your adventures to refine your experience and thus improve your adventurer level."

Upon hearing this, Lynn was stunned: "Can't you level up directly during adventures? Like, the kind where you level up while fighting?"

“Unfortunately, no.” Mira shook her head and said, “If it were the era of the Ape-Born, when the goddess of magic, Mystella, was still alive, adventurer levels would be linked to the magic network, so of course real-time updates would be possible.”

"But because of the fall of the Goddess of the Magic Network, the Magic Network collapsed, and adventurers' leveling experience can only be refined through the notarization of the Lion of Notarization."

"Considering that novice adventurers level up more efficiently, and given their need to improve their level, it is generally recommended that novice adventurers undergo notarization every 3 days."

Upon hearing this, Lynn instinctively felt that there were many risks involved.

The Lion of Notarization has been controlled by someone and they refuse to provide notarization services. What should I do?

Without notarization, does that mean we can't convert experience points and level up?

However, since he is still in the Adventurers' Guild, Lynn certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to bring it up.

Even more than his rank, he was concerned about something else:

"Does skill level upgrades also require the notarization of the Lion of Notarization?"
