Forest Town, early morning, Guild Tavern.

Linsset arrived at the door as usual.

Yesterday, I escorted the workers to the logging camp. Nothing happened along the way, and I successfully received the task reward of 15 silver coins and 10 points.

Today is another new day.

As soon as Linsset entered, he was greeted by a variety of smells.

The smell of ale, the stench of sweat, the odor of rusty metal, some unknown fishy smell, the smell of some uncleaned garbage…

He blew his nose; the power of his [sensitive sense of smell] was indeed extraordinary, even somewhat bothersome to him.

Lindsay touched his nose, and then he saw a very serious scene inside the tavern:

A large group of people were gathered around a wooden table in the center of the tavern.

Among those Linssey knew were "Goat," guild member Ginavie, the fat tavern owner Rayland, camp instructor Rhodes, guard captain Cass, and Sheriff Will, whom he had met during the bandit quest.

There were also four adventurers he didn't recognize, wearing silver-white nameplates.

A burly man wearing long chainmail with a reinforced breastplate and a two-handed sword on his back; a brown-bearded dwarf wearing a ram's horn helmet and carrying a giant shield.

A human female archer clad in exquisite leather armor; a middle-aged man who looks like a mage, wearing a robe and holding a wooden staff.

Silver-rank adventurer!

This was the first time Linssey had met Silver-ranked adventurers, and it was probably a small team.

He opened the panel to check the other party's information. Normally, he would be too lazy to look at ordinary people's information, but Lindsay definitely had to look at these four people's information.

[xxx, Human, Level 2 Warrior, Health: 80/80, Armor: 440/440 (Long Chainmail, Plate Breastplate, Babbitt Helmet)]

[xxx, Dwarf, Level 3 Warrior, Health: 90/90, Armor: 255/255 (Long Chainmail, Ram's Horn Helmet)]

[xxx, Human, Level 3 Ranger, Health: 70/70, Armor: 90/90 (Fine Leather Armor)]

[xxx, Human, Level 2 Mage, Health: 50/50, Armor: 30/30 (Robe)]

Surrounding the wooden table were more than twenty adventurers from the bottom edge, completely blocking the way.

Lindsay suddenly smelled a fragrant scent of fur mixed with poison.

"Linse, you've arrived." A familiar female voice quietly sounded from behind.

"Claire, could you please not suddenly appear behind me?"

The female wanderer patted Lindsay on the back with a cheeky grin: "Lindsay, it's only been a few days, and you've even switched to dual weapons! What new tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

Lindsay ignored the other person's question: "What are those people doing over there?"

"They... you've probably heard about them these past few days. The guild has already issued a silver-level bounty for the goblin raiding party targeting the area near Linchui Town."

This mission is one of the larger-scale operations in Linchui Town in the past two years. It is commanded by Sheriff Will, with the [Iron Fang] Silver Squad as the main force, and a group of adventurers and guards from the lower areas as assistants.

The raid is open to adventurers of both Iron and Bronze ranks, and the rewards and points are very generous. Does your [Sharp Teeth] team plan to participate?

Lindsay is more concerned about the rewards of the mission.

"What exactly is the reward for a Bronze-level adventurer?"

"This mission has been expanded to include adventurers from the lower levels. Bronze-level adventurers can receive 20 silver coins simply by participating and being selected by the [Iron Fang] squad members and the sheriff."

If the mission is successful and the goblin raiding party is eliminated, you'll receive +30 points, and the mission reward will triple to 60 silver coins!

At this moment, "Broken Arrow" walked towards Linse: "Captain, the guild above has really invested a lot this time. Should we participate in this raid?"

Just like the last attack on the Vulture Guild's camp, did you see those few Silver-rank adventurers? This time the scale is much larger than last time.

"What was Uncle 'Goat' thinking?"

"He got all excited when he heard about the reward, saying that if he could successfully complete this mission, he could save up a lot of money."

"Broken Arrow" whispered in Lindsay's ear, "Goat" just said that after this mission, he's decided to retire and spend more time with his son."

He told me not to tell you, but I still think it's better to tell the captain. You can then decide whether or not to participate in this mission.

"Is 'Goat' going to retire?" Lindsay was a little disappointed when he heard this.

This is essentially saying goodbye to an adventurer who was both a guide and a friend in one's adventurous journey.

"Brinan, is the goblin raiding party really that powerful? Do they really need so many people working together?"

"I don't know, what do you think, [Phantom]?"

"It should be quite difficult. The more goblins there are, the more likely some incredible mutations will appear. It's really hard to say..."

Claire cleared her throat: "But there are Silver-level people here, what's there to be afraid of? Just stick with the expedition team."

If only it were that easy.

"Hey, Lindsay's here, Lindsay kid!"

The tavern owner, Rayland, waved to Linssey, and everyone in the tavern turned to look at him.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lindsay took off his gear and awkwardly squeezed into the crowd to the table.

The tavern owner's fat arm suddenly wrapped around Linssey: "This is the tavern hero I told you about, the rising star among the adventurers of our Linchui Town, Linssey!"

"Iron Fang, if you need a good helper, this kid is definitely one!"

The burly man carrying two swords on his back stared intently at Linse.

"I am Wood, the squad leader of [Iron Fang],"

"Hmm, young and energetic. That wolfskin armor is quite nice. Ink, what do you think of him?"

A brown-bearded dwarf named Ink spoke up: "A bit skinny, but I think it's good! This kid's courage burns brighter than the fire in the furnace!"

Female knight-errant: "His appearance is so-so, but his wolf head is quite handsome."

The middle-aged monk in a long robe nodded in agreement.

"This kid performed exceptionally well during the last bandit raid; I've approved him!"

As soon as Sheriff Will gave the order, everyone around the table burst into applause, which quickly turned into a thunderous roar of applause throughout the room.

Lindsay was a little confused. When did his reputation become so high?

"Adventurer Linsley, you don't know this, do you? It's only been a little over two months since you registered as an adventurer, and you've already leveled up to Bronze-level adventurer. This is unprecedented in our town for decades."

Guild member Gina continued, "You have completed all the tasks you have accepted so far, without any breach of contract."

Your reputation has spread among the adventurers at the bottom of Forestfront Town.

With the recommendation of our Forest Town guild leader and your previous act of kindness at the tavern, you now have the Adventurer's title. Look over there, Bard.

Lindsay then noticed a man sitting in the corner with a lute. The man walked straight over and began to sing while playing the lute.
