My inventory is full of monster materials.

Adventurers' Guild.

Early in the morning, the guild's first-floor lobby was already bustling with activity, as lively as a market, with adventurers carrying all sorts of weapons and armor coming and going in an endless stream.

There are also a small number of other humanoid races, such as half-elves, half-orcs, dwarves, and halflings...

"The Watermill is going to hunt down the Giant Rat! We're still missing a strong forward; newbies, don't even bother!!"

"Just got a lucrative job: escorting a caravan to Sergi City. Need an experienced ranger or scout, must be able to read a map!"

...

In an inconspicuous corner of the hall, the three sat around a wooden table.

Henry slumped onto the table with his arms crossed, looking somewhat dejected.

Emily clasped her hands together over a gold badge and murmured the daily gospel.

Mark put his feet on the table, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the ceiling.

On the simple, smooth white stone surface, a curtain of light, invisible to outsiders, appears.

Since the last mission ended, Mark's attributes haven't changed much, but he has gained three new skills:

"Freezing Ray Lv1 (White)": Releases a ray with ice elemental effects, inflicting negative effects such as freezing and slowing on the target. Spell control +20%.

"Spellcasting Basics Lv1 (White)": Spell proficiency gain +3%.

"Precision Shot Lv1 (White)": Perform an effective ranged normal attack, increasing attack accuracy by 10%.

Mark currently possesses many skills, but most are at level 1, and he urgently needs a spontaneous adventure to improve his proficiency.

But that's where the problem lies.

At last night's banquet, they bid farewell to Felix and Talia.

The White Eagles team is now down to its lowest point, with only one veteran captain, Henry, and two newcomers, Mark and Emily.

To make matters worse, the news was intercepted by some people and spread rapidly.

Now everyone in the adventurer community of Pinewood Town knows that the captain of the Bronze-level "White Eagle" squad has run away!

The news was then distorted and spread through various fabrications, and when it reached Mark and his team again, the version had become that the "White Eagle" squad had collapsed!

That bastard Captain Felix! He amassed a debt of 350 gold coins through gambling, drinking, and womanizing, and then ran off with his female teammates!!

Anyway, nowadays, anyone who passes by their table in the hall will secretly gossip about them behind their backs.

"I heard that Captain Philip of the White Eagles has run away."

"Shh~ Keep your voice down, that guy seems to have advanced to a professional."

"I'd run away too. I can't carry a bunch of vampires."

"Their lives are going to be tough from now on."

...

All that could be heard was nonsensical rambling, which greatly disturbed Mark.

But he couldn't argue back, because these people had masochistic tendencies—the more you argued with them, the more excited they became.

In reality, the situation of the three of them was by no means bad.

Henry possesses a set of half-body plate armor and a heavy tower shield, coupled with rich combat experience, making him a qualified tank.

Emily excitedly told them this morning that she received a divine revelation during her prayers last night and obtained a level 0 spell called "Divine Prayer".

Including the 0-level spell "Basic Healing" that she already possessed, she was already a qualified support.

Mark spent 6 gold coins to replace his original arm-drawn light crossbow with a standard crossbow, which was powerful enough to penetrate hard leather armor.

With his numerous skills, Mark now combines damage output, control, and vision control, making him a truly all-around ADC.

All things considered, their strength surpasses that of 90% of adventurers.

However, the team will not be able to get over the shadow of the departure of both the captain and vice-captain for a while.

Their biggest weakness right now is their lack of morale.

What can best boost morale?

win!!

Upon thinking of this, Mark suddenly stood up, went to Henry's side, and slammed his fist on the wooden table.

Bang!Bang!

Henry looked up hesitantly, his eyes still filled with doubt.

Emily stopped praying and quietly observed the two men.

Mark gave no room for discussion and commanded in an unquestionable tone.

Give me the squad badge.

"Mark, what are you doing?"

"Accept the mission!"

"What mission?"

"I don't know, but it's not difficult."

Henry pondered for a few seconds, then handed over the squad badge.

Mark grabbed the badge and headed straight for the counter.

His idea was simple: find a mission to force the squad to move.

As long as the team can get moving, it can regain its vitality.

It just so happened that Vanessa, the same person from last time, was there to greet Mark at the counter.

"Hello! This is Vanessa, employee number E0782. It's a pleasure to assist you..."

"I want to ask..."

Mark changed his mind as soon as he was about to speak.

"I want to post a commission."

"what?"

Vanessa didn't react for a moment.

Because adventurers typically perform three steps at the counter: register, submit, and inquire.

Why are these adventurers acting so perversely?

Mark repeated himself when the other party did not respond.

"I want to offer a reward, and I require that the information be kept confidential."

Vanessa then realized what was happening and quickly responded.

"Okay, please follow me."

Vanessa then took Mark to the next room to discuss the details of the commission.

After a while.

The two returned to the counter.

Vanessa was delighted and handed over two pieces of parchment with a beaming smile.

"Mr. Ma...Mr., this is your commission form. Please keep it safe. Also, the mission you accepted in the name of the team has been registered."

Mark took the two receipts and picked out the one he was most interested in.

[Quest]: Bounty on the head of the Frost Goblin Shaman

[Number]: E02-412 | Bronze Grade

[Summary]: Recently, a biologist, Mr. M, needs 5 Frost Goblin Shaman (in bold) skulls for biological research. Limited quantity available; once full, the supply will be discontinued.

[Requirement]: Within 15 days, the skull must retain at least 60% of its integrity.

[Reward]: 30 Silver Coins x Completeness + 3 Mission Points/each

[Note]: The assessment of the skull's integrity will be conducted by the guild.

Mark looked at it several times but couldn't find any flaws.

He posted the bounty because the "Head of the Wise Frost Goblin Shaman" in his equipment inventory has a special attribute: "Effect Solidification (0/5) - Requires sacrificing similar materials."

Mark was well aware of the danger posed by this mutated monster.

If he had to hunt and collect them one by one, it would take forever. It would be better to use his money to get the adventurers to gather the materials for him.

To avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Mark also entrusted the Adventurers' Guild to store the goods for him, so he could simply pick them up later.

The price to pay is an extra sum of money to the Adventurers' Guild.

Judging from the receptionist's enthusiastic smile, you could tell that she had received a substantial commission from this large-scale commission.

In fact, Mark paid 3 gold coins for this commission: 1.5 gold coins for the adventurer's reward and 1.5 gold coins for the guild fee.

Fortunately, my secret stash is still quite substantial...

As soon as the new quest was posted on the bulletin board, it caused an uproar in the surrounding area, with adventurers discussing it noisily.

"Why would anyone collect the heads of those green-skinned bastards?"

"Are you blind?! You're talking about the Frost Variant."

"Tsk tsk, a piece of trash's head is worth 30 silver coins, that's worth something."

"Hey, how is this reward calculated?"

"Why don't you just go to the counter and ask?"

...

Mark, the instigator of this discussion, simply left without a trace, concealing his achievements and fame.

But as Mark was about to go back to discuss the team's new mission with Henry and Emily, he saw two adventurers, one tall and one short, standing next to his teammates in the distance.

And it seems like the two sides... had a bit of a disagreement?
