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

"I feel like they're testing whether I have the courage to take action against the scions of powerful families!"

Isn't this a bit much? Testing courage? Do you think you can put a lion-beast like you to the test? Aren't you all supposed to be incredibly reckless?

Luke stared blankly at Fiona, feeling that something was off, but clearly Fiona wasn't listening to his warning.

Even so, Luke still struggled:

"But what if we actually make a move, but end up hitting the wrong person?"

"Will we be hunted down by the Red Dragon Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Fiona crossed her arms and looked at Luke as if he were an idiot:

"Idiot!! Even fighting requires strategy!"

"Strategy?" Luke asked hesitantly. Fiona's starting to use strategy too? Am I still half asleep?

"Before I came, didn't I take you to Sid to buy information?"

"Is that so?" Luke asked, bewildered.

Fiona suddenly slapped her forehead and said:

"Oh, I forgot, I went to see Old Sid while you were buying deodorizing oil."

"Oh dear, why did you send them away again?"

"Flora clearly said long ago that after the association is established, we won't need to secretly go to old Sid to dispose of stolen goods anymore..."

My sister taught me? That's alright then... Luke glanced at Fiona silently for a moment, then asked:

"Did Senior Sid give you any important information?"

"Given it!"

Fiona touched her nose, a mischievous grin on her face:

"He said that the secret investigator had a special certificate on him."

"As long as we find that proof that they are investigators, the assessment will pass automatically!!"

"...Is it really that simple?" Luke said in disbelief.

"Otherwise what?" Fiona glanced at Luke. "Does old Sid want to ruin his reputation built up over decades?"

Luke now realized this made sense, and nodded thoughtfully, saying:

"So, boss, how are you going to find that proof?"

Upon hearing this, Fiona raised her right hand with a half-smile, her fingers spread, and made a half-clenching motion:

"Of course, it's thanks to this technology!"

"With your hands..." Luke looked at Fiona with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused about what technique she was talking about.

However, at that moment, Fiona suddenly raised an eyebrow, bent down, and looked at the ground:

"Wait a minute, are those two the guys we're looking for?"

At the same time,

Lynn, who had just arrived at the bottom of the rock wall, looked up at the rocky town above and saw the small figure above.

Their eyes seemed to meet!

Chapter 43 Why are there so many female hooligans?

The sixth floor of the underground city.

Below the rock face in the safe zone.

Lynn raised his head and gazed at the towering black cliffs.

The rock wall is very high, and in the middle section, which is nearly 30 meters above the ground, a huge cavity has been carved out.

Although they had already seen the entire rocky town from the front, Lynn still couldn't help but complain when they actually arrived at the foot of the cliff:

"You call this a small town?"

"Can't I call out?"

Ramie turned her head and looked at Lynn with a puzzled expression.

"It's not that it's impossible..."

Lynn hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the slowly descending basket:

"However, I feel that the name 'fortress' is more fitting for it."

At this moment, Ramie raised her hand and scratched her cheek, saying:

"But the 18-story safe zone is already called an iron fortress, isn't it?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, her expression strange: "Then pretend I didn't say anything."

After speaking, Lynn turned his head, looking at the approaching basket, and then glanced at the several huge black ropes:

"Is there no magic stone staircase here? It looks very unsafe."

"You mean the one up there?"

Rami looked up at the slowly descending gondola above, and seeing the ticket seller waving flags and signaling, she immediately raised her staff and waved it three times to the left.

Upon receiving the signal, the ticket seller immediately accelerated the descent of the gondola.

At this point, Ramie explained:

"This is actually the original form of the magic stone staircase. However, because a large number of monsters surge up from the lower levels of the dungeon every six months or so, this crude version is actually more practical and cheaper to repair under normal circumstances."

"Saving money? I understand."

Lynn nodded in understanding, then glanced at Ramie:

"By the way, is there anything I should be aware of in Rock Town?"

"Precautions?"

Ramy glanced at Lynn upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and said:

"If we're talking about things newcomers should pay attention to, it's probably about watching out for thieves, right?"

"Thief?"

Lynn looked over in surprise, then gazed at Ramie, who was looking very serious, and said:

"Isn't Rock Town a place where you can use the Merchant Guild's Gold Card? Can you steal that thing even though it's tied to a Holy Mark?"

Upon hearing this, Ramie immediately scratched her cheek helplessly and said:

"Although you can use the gold card... because it's the front line, the adventurers in Rock Town mostly have loot from dungeons."

"Items like medicinal herbs, magic stones, or various alchemical materials are all relatively expensive equivalents."

Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately nodded: "The profit margin is too high, I understand!"

Ramy sighed, "Yes, the profits are too high, so even with military police stationed there year-round, they can't stop theft."

"Moreover, newlyweds are the hardest hit!"

"Are they taking advantage of the newcomer because they think they can be bullied?"

Lynn muttered something to himself, then remembered that he was also a newcomer, and immediately became unhappy:

"Should I hide my gold card better?"

Upon hearing this, Ramy pointed to Lynn's pants and said:

"You can put it in your inner pants, or if you're really worried, you can put it in the side pocket of your underwear."

How did you know there was a pocket over there?

Lynn suddenly looked over, and then, he suddenly remembered:

"I almost forgot, you picked this outfit out of Xia's warehouse."

"Wait, why are there men's clothes in Xia's warehouse?"

'What does that lecherous woman usually do in the warehouse?' Lynn wondered with a strange expression.

Looking at Lynn's subtle expression, Ramie said somewhat awkwardly:

"Actually, Lady Sia used to disguise herself as a boy and deliberately went to Rose Street to flirt with those... Ah, sorry, this seems to be something that can't be said."

"She actually did something like that?" Lynn said in shock.

Rose Street...is it more like a red-light district?

Pretending to be a man to harass young women on the street? Pure Demon Pill, huh?

Ramie, who had let it slip, quickly waved her hand and said:

"I've only heard it, it's just hearsay, it might not be true."

"Oh, by the way, Lynn, you don't need to worry about stealing."

As Ramie finished speaking, she patted Snowball's head on her shoulder, causing Snowball to let out a comfortable gurgling sound.

"Miss Snowball has a very high level of 'seeing through' skill. Even the most skilled thieves and thieves might not be able to escape her eyes."

"So, you don't really need to worry too much."

Is the concern about theft now? It's more about how Sia flirted with the girls on the street, isn't it?

Lynn mentally criticized Ramy's attempt to shift the topic.

However, seeing Ramie so flustered, Lynn felt bad about teasing her too much, so he turned around and explained:

"Not being worried is one thing, and not doing it is another."

Lynn's lips twitched, then she turned around and quietly placed the gold card, which was in her jacket pocket, in a safer place.

I must say, it felt quite cool sitting there against my thigh.

After finishing all this, Lynn turned around and coughed:

"Cough!! The ladder is almost down, let's go over."

Ramie blushed and nodded shyly upon hearing this, then followed Lynn's steps toward the hanging basket.

By this time, a large number of people had gathered in front of the hanging basket.

Orcs, elves, and humans mingled together, most of them wearing hooded trench coats, and a large number of them even covered their faces with masks.

They stood in twos and threes on the open ground beside the rock face, waiting for the elevator to come down.

At that moment, Ramy quickly caught up with Lynn, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:

"Be careful, it's winter now, a time when adventurers are active, and also a time when thieves are thriving."

After saying that, Ramie glanced at Lynn's profile and whispered:

"You can stand next to me later."

Lynn glanced at the group of people in front of her whose faces were obscured, allowing her to only discern their racial characteristics and genders, then whispered to Ramie:

"I feel like you should stand behind me later."

What a joke! He doesn't have anything valuable on him. At most, he has a gold card with some money in it. If he weren't worried about the trouble of replacing the gold card if he lost it, he wouldn't even hide it.

In this situation, he's not afraid of a thief with a hammer!

"Am I standing at the back?" Ramie looked at Lynn with a subtle expression.

Lynn nodded and said, "After all, your equipment is obviously much more valuable than mine."

Seeing that Lynn insisted, Ramy didn't say anything, but nodded, tugged at Lynn's sleeve, and stood to the side.

Soon, the elevator finished descending, and urged by the ticket seller, one adventurer after another boarded the gondola. They paid their fees one by one using the magic mirror held by the ticket seller, and then entered the huge gondola.

Lynn pulled Ramy along, squeezed into the middle of the crowd, and entered the hanging basket. Then she found a corner spot, letting Ramy lean against it, while she herself stood between Ramy and the crowd.

Seeing this, Ramy glanced at Lynn and tacitly approved of the arrangement.

Then, the elevator began to rise.
