I didn't intend to destroy the world.

The sounds of adventurers reveling and drinking came from the entertainment district next door, but not every street was brightly lit.

In the darkness, a rat scurries about among the trash, pursued relentlessly by a cat.

They scurried across rooftops and over walls, finally cornering the rats in a dead end.

Realizing it was too late to step into the abyss, the rat kept jumping upwards, but the high walls around it prevented it from reaching the seemingly close night sky.

"Awooo—" The cat made a sound that terrified the mouse as it slowly approached.

"Grey Rat! Don't run!" Levitt shouted, brandishing his short sword as he relentlessly pursued Grey Rat.

The gray rat, who had just tried to fight Levitt, hurriedly fled for his life because he discovered that this idiotic farmer they had abandoned actually possessed swordsmanship even more exquisite than Ralph's, and his dagger was knocked away by a single sword strike.

The gray mouse ran ahead, and Levitt chased after it.

Levitt: "Grey Rat! Let's talk this out!"

Gray Rat: "Shall we settle this with swords?"

Levitt: "I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back, I hate you so much! I swear I'll never cut you again!"

The gray mouse remained silent.

They came to a dead end, and a cat was startled and ran away.

"You can't escape." Levitt dodged with his foot, and another rat, startled by the gray squirrel, darted out from beside his feet.

"Huff...huff." The gray rat panted heavily, pointing at Levitt: "What's wrong with you?"

"Where's Rose? I can't find her." Levitt looked at the gray mouse he had cornered against the wall.

When roses were mentioned, the gray mouse remained silent. It looked up at the three walls, then suddenly scrambled to the left, leaping up two meters, and with a powerful push of its feet, pounced to the right.

The gray rat was incredibly fast. Before Levitt could react, it had already climbed up to the open window on the second floor, peeking out with only its head visible.

Levitt put down the broken crossbow and simply asked, "What is this? A skill or a trait? Let me see it!"

Gray Rat's face was pale and haggard. Looking at Levitt, who looked completely different from a few days ago, he cursed, "Are you sick?" and turned to walk into the house.

"Ah—" A woman wearing a bath towel screamed when she saw him. He punched her unconscious, then ran to the window across the street and jumped out.

He landed steadily from the height of the second floor.

As a scout, even without a profession, this level of skill is easily attainable.

"Rose..." Gray Mouse murmured Rose's name, his face suddenly turned sad. He took a few steps when three people surrounded him.

......

"Didn't catch him!" Levitt sighed helplessly, turned around and walked out of the alley.

Back at the tavern, Levitt realized he was late; the four members of the Big Bear Adventurer's crew had arrived earlier and were already eating.

One of the team members saw him by chance, said a few words to Xiongpi and the others, and then they waved to Li Weite.

Having already needed to speak with them and having not eaten, Levitt readily accepted the invitation and sat down next to the bearskin to eat at his leisure.

"What task did the little goblin undertake today?" someone asked.

"Hunting isn't difficult, it's just time-consuming," Levitt replied while eating, then suddenly choked. Bearskin quickly handed him a beer, which he drank down and breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling much less hungry, he took out a broken bone helmet and spearhead from his backpack.

Bearskin and his group stared wide-eyed, quickly took it to examine it, and immediately confirmed that it was indeed something from those "special goblins".

"I found it on the battlefield while I was hunting today," Levitt said calmly, continuing to eat his food.

"Could you repeat what you said yesterday?" one of the team members asked seriously. Although he was reluctant to admit that the goblin they had been searching for for so many days had actually been found by Levitt, face was not as important as the bounty.

"So you guys didn't even listen to what I said yesterday?" Levitt had a vindicated look on his face. Xiongpi and the others didn't know if he was deliberately trying to disgust them or if he was joking.

Let's just assume he's joking.

"I'll take you with me tomorrow." Bearskin sighed, glanced at his teammates, and didn't see any resistance.

"I even know where the goblins' lair is." Levitt paused, looked at everyone, and rubbed his hands together. "I think my reconnaissance skills are pretty good. After this is done, could I join the Big Bear Adventurer's Creed?"

Bearskin and his teammates looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

The demolition effect.

Levitt did not actually want to join Bearskin and his gang.

Those who are not equal in strength or class usually do not receive any preferential treatment. They are bound to be regarded as a burden or trouble, and may even be used as bait.

The purpose of this "naive request" is quite simple—

"I'm sorry, Levitt." Bearskin looked reluctant, offering various reasons why Levitt wasn't suitable for them, and finally said, "How about this, we can share some of the bounty for wiping out this group of goblins with you."

Levitt was secretly pleased, but outwardly he pretended to be very disappointed, reluctantly nodding and saying, "Well... since Bearskin said it's too dangerous and not suitable for me, then forget it."

Seeing that Bearskin refused to let this newbie join the team, the other three team members breathed a sigh of relief; they didn't want to take care of a newbie.

If it really comes to an emergency, who will care about Levitt?

At that point, we'll probably have to use him as bait.

However, Bearskin might not agree to this.

They were always worried that the Bearskin Paladin might do something to harm their interests because of his identity, but so far, Bearskin has rarely disappointed them.

"Alright, let's set off tomorrow then?" After making some simple plans, Bearskin clapped his hands, raised his glass, and said, "Welcome our temporary new member, Levitt, to the team."

"Welcome~" The other three followed suit.

"Thank you everyone." Levitt, whose words exuded an air of monopoly, raised his glass, still chewing on his food, and mumbled, "However, I have something I'd like to ask you all for your help with."

......

At this time of day, there were far fewer people in the square.

After holding it in for almost an entire day, Yinshu finally found an opportunity, quietly went to the bulletin board, and tore down that shameless request.

She gritted her teeth and pounded her chest, but no matter how she vented, she couldn't relieve the anger in her heart. She tore the petition to shreds and cursed in a sarcastic tone: "You shameless bastard! Do you think I'm a prostitute?! Who do you think I am!"

Uncle and schoolgirl? How can such vulgar words be used?

Damn inferior Easterners, you stinking outsiders, you've come to our empire to beg for food!

"You wait, you wait, I'm coming to kill you right now! Right now!"

Muttering to herself, Silver Tree walked toward the tavern where Levitt lived, her magic surging within her.
