He aimed at a scarecrow not far away, his arm muscles tensed, and with a slight flick of his longbow, the arrow flew out with a whistling sound.

The scarecrow was knocked down by the force of the arrow!

"I excel at ranged attacks. This is my combat skill [Long Shot]. I also know [Close Combat] and [Moving Shot], for a total of three combat skills. My specialties are proficient archery and basic daggers."

The "goat" then swung its sling and threw stones at a scarecrow.

Linssey looked at the leather armor on the other person's body and spoke slowly.

"Oh right, Uncle 'Goat,' you haven't sold that chainmail shirt yet, have you? Now that you're a member of the [Sharp Teeth] team, you don't need to sell it anymore. You can get rid of it and wear it yourself."

The middle-aged adventurer was delighted to hear this.

"Oh? Really? That's wonderful."

My skills are rather diverse. My common combat techniques are [Slinging Stones] and [Parrying]. My specialties are slingshots, and I'm also a proficient swordsman…”

Lindsay then heard about a number of specializations and abilities that covered several fields, such as [trap science] and [light magic], there were seven or eight of them.

After the two finished their introductions, Lindsay also briefly introduced his situation, but only said what needed to be said, and he would not reveal anything about the cheat system.

After getting to know each other better, the three trained at the camp for a while before disbanding.

……

Linchui Town, Guild Tavern.

A new day dawned, and Lindsay once again stepped into this place he had visited dozens of times.

"Goat" and "Broken Arrow" were already sitting at the wooden table waiting for him.

"Lince, we've picked out two suitable Iron-level missions. Take a look."

Linsley glanced at the Iron-level quest log.

Clear out ghouls in the cemetery and goblins on the outskirts of the Twilight Forest.

He's fought goblins several times already, and he's not very interested in them anymore unless they're mutants.

He was very interested in ghouls; they were new monsters, which meant he could gain new monster abilities.

--------

Mission: Go to the cemetery outside the north gate of Linchui Town and clear out a small horde of ghouls there. (Iron-tier) Time limit: 3 days.

Compensation: 6 silver coins and 8 points per person.

Note: An investigation of the cemetery outside Linchui Town revealed that a small group of ghouls has been going there frequently in recent days to devour and kill all the corpses!

--------

Lindsay sat down at the wooden table between the two of them.

"Ghouls? What are they like?"

"Goat" cleared his throat: "These monsters, as their name suggests, like to feed on corpses, and after they've eaten a certain amount, they'll evolve, growing larger and becoming more threatening."

But this quest was only released today, and it's a Black Iron rank quest, so it should only consist of low-level ghouls, which should be relatively easy to kill.

One thing to note is that being bitten by them can cause localized numbness, so we'll go to the alchemy shop later to get some antidote.

Lindsay gave the other person an approving look.

Having a veteran adventurer makes all the difference.

"However, I feel that the mission reward is a bit disproportionate, and the ghouls are quite strong."

"Ghouls are actually relatively easy for Bronze-level adventurers to kill, as long as they don't eat too many corpses and evolve."

As for the reward, the ghouls have materials on them, all of which are alchemy materials. We'll prepare a sack to collect them and sell them for money.

"Then we'll take this mission."

Just as the three were about to get up, Lindsay seemed to spot a familiar figure outside the tavern.

Purple hair and exquisite leather armor, with a dagger and a short sword at her waist.

It is Claire, the "Phantom".

She walked up to Lindsay: "Lindsay, long time no see... Who are those two people behind you?"

"Broken Arrow" said irritably, "Where did you come from? Although you look somewhat familiar, I'll ask first, what do you want with our captain?"

"Broken Arrow, your memory is terrible. This woman is [Phantom]. We saw her during the last attack on the Vulture Legion's camp."

"Broken Arrow" paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, right, 'Goat,' I remember now. My memory isn't very good."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Claire's focus was on Lindsay.

"Captain? Lindsay, which squad did you join?"

She suddenly sat down on a wooden chair: "Tell me in detail, sister."

"I am now the captain of the [Sharp Teeth] squad. The two behind me are the most recent members, 'Goat' and 'Broken Arrow'."

"I recognize both of them, but are you the captain of the official squad? Are you telling the truth?"

"real…"

Lindsay then briefly explained to the female bronze-level adventurer the situation she was unaware of.

Claire's expression became somewhat subtle after hearing this, and she moved closer to Lindsay.

"It's been a few days, Lindsay, you've really gotten stronger and stronger. I admire your youthful ambition."

Lindsay's face suddenly felt hot.

Damn, this physiological reaction is a bit serious.

"[Phantom], since you're interested in our captain, why not join his team?" "Goat" asked calmly.

Claire flatly refused: "I still prefer more freedom. As for being a regular member of a squad or something, we'll see."

"In that case, I, 'Goat,' hope you will refrain from such actions that cross personal boundaries, as they are causing our squad leader considerable distress."

Depending on the circumstances, I will submit materials to the guild to report your improper behavior and damage your reputation.

"Oh no, no, no, is it really that serious?" Claire relented, fiddling with her hair as if she were considering something.

The middle-aged adventurer leaned close to Linsel's ear: "Captain, should we ask her to come and help? This woman is capable."

Lindsay nodded; he was naturally willing to do anything that could increase the success rate of the mission.

"I have another suggestion. We're going to clear out a small ghoul horde in the cemetery north of Linchui Town. Would you like to come and help? You can have a share of the ghoul materials after we're done."

"Okay, I'm free right now anyway." Claire readily agreed to "Goat's" suggestion.

Lindsay said to the female vagrant, "Alright, Claire, let's set off now, first to the alchemist."

The four walked out of the guild tavern. The only alchemy shop in Linchui Town was located at the other end of the northeast corner of the market.

Upon arriving at the alchemy shop, Lindsay saw that apart from a sign with a medicine pot pattern, the shop was unremarkable in appearance, looking just like an ordinary wooden house.

A drunkard was lying at the shop entrance.

"Good wine..." He took a sip from the bottle in his left hand, then got up and tried to go inside the shop.

Boom!

A golden light emanated from the entrance of the alchemy shop, sending the drunkard flying two meters away.

"What is this?" Lindsay didn't quite understand.

"Goat" explained, "This is a kind of barrier set up by the guild. This barrier restricts non-adventurers from entering and exiting, so adventurers should wear their name tags."

Is there really such a thing? But thinking about it, alchemy shops, which sell potions and items, do indeed have restrictions on who can enter.

Pushing open the door, a strange odor wafted out, a mixture of medicinal, fishy, ​​and foul smells.

Upon entering the shop, numerous medicines were displayed on cabinets and shelves, while a pile of scrolls lay in crates on the floor.

An old woman sat in a chair, while a young girl next to her was tidying up things on a shelf.
