The brief conversation ended, and just then, the white rabbit boy and the little girl approached together.

At the first opportunity...

"Wow~"

He was still a naive young man just starting out, and he was already captivated by the complete set of adventurer equipment that Ling Shu handed him.

Bell's performance pleased Welf, who was a blacksmith.

Compared to the former...

"Lord Ling Shu actually knows that 'Wilf Crozzo'?"

Lily was clearly more knowledgeable. She looked at the red-haired youth next to Ling Shu and asked, "Are you the senior blacksmith who collaborated with Mr. Kong from [Twin Stars] to launch the 'All-Purpose Shovel'?"

"Well, those were all just empty ideas. I was just an assistant."

Yes, in just a few weeks, the 'All-Purpose Shovel' mass-produced by the Freya Familia in conjunction with the Hephaestus Familia has become an essential piece of adventure equipment for many supporters.

On Welf's side, after gaining the 'Forging' development ability at Lv.2, he gradually shed the evaluation from many in his familia that he 'wasted his talent that could have been used to forge magic swords'.

I've been doing quite well lately.

"I never expected to meet you in person today."

Lily is an action-oriented person who leans towards being a 'supporter'... By the way, there are two 'all-purpose shovels' in the big backpack on her back.

This thing is exceptionally useful even for the diminutive bodies of the dwarf race.

Moreover, based on recent improvements to the air-breathing system, its durability is not low...

"Let's stop with the mutual flattery."

Ling Shu pointed to the second floor of the tavern, "Bell, go change your equipment first, and then I'll take you to the dungeon."

"At least, let's try to kill a few goblins today."

Chapter 249 The Half-Year Bet

"I...I want to become an adventurer!"

At a counter in the lobby of the 'Guild' headquarters, the white rabbit boy was somewhat reserved... yet he couldn't hide the excitement and anticipation in his eyes as he told a staff member his needs.

He was greeted by a half-human, half-elf girl with shoulder-length, brown hair.

Eina Zur is nineteen years old.

As a highly skilled and popular ace within the guild, she was working diligently and meticulously today.

"Um, let me confirm, you want to register as a new adventurer... right?"

"Ah, yes."

Can you write the 'common language of mainland China'?

"Yes, yes, Grandpa taught me."

"Then please fill out this form first..."

……

It was a completely formal workplace process. After confirming that all the information the other party had filled in was correct, Eina asked him to come back again the next day.

The guild needs some time to enter the information of new adventurers into its files.

Of course, if it were someone from a well-known faction registering, the process would be completely different.

The most obvious difference is that the efficiency of the 'guild' side will immediately become much higher.

For example, a few months ago, when Ota brought [Twin Stars] to register as a new adventurer, all the procedures were completed in just over ten minutes.

It's essentially an unwritten VIP system.

And today...

"Let's go back to our base first."

"Huh? Aren't we going to the dungeon?"

"Don't joke around. Lily is just a regular Lv.1. With Lord Ling Shu not around, I wouldn't dare take a newbie like you running around in the dungeon."

"Oh~"

……

The somewhat disappointed and bewildered boy, after listening to the little girl's "experienced advice," was led away from the "guild" headquarters by her.

Eina watched the two figures disappear into the distance...

“Bell Crane, belongs to the ‘Frigga Familia’.”

"Fourteen years old...so young."

She glanced down at the personal information recorded in the files in her hand, her expression somewhat strange.

"That child might die young."

This wasn't said by Eina.

It was a colleague who was passing by her.

"Miss Rose?"

A female host, who was born into the werewolf clan and was relatively rare on the mainland, stood beside Eina.

She swayed her wolf tail and said nonchalantly, "Eina, you've been working at the 'Guild' for several years now, you should be able to tell that that human kid has no future."

“He was thin and seemed indecisive…most importantly, he lacked self-confidence.”

He didn't meet any of the requirements to become a renowned adventurer.

"I guess he's just another young dreamer with unrealistic expectations, thinking that adventurers can easily make a lot of money."

"You've seen plenty of people die young with this kind of mentality, haven't you?"

Although these words were too blunt and showed no mercy, Eina could not refute them.

Indeed, Eina has seen far too many dreamers whose dreams are cut short halfway through.

At this time...

"Huh? That white-haired boy wants an elven woman to be his adventurer advisor?"

Michaela Flott, the pink-haired girl who was Eina's closest colleague and also the designated advisor for the "Twin Stars," leaned over for a glance.

"Female elf...Sophia, do you want to answer?"

"Please allow me to refuse."

The beautiful elven woman with long, light purple hair shook her head. "An adventurer who won't live long... it's a waste of time to be his advisor."

"..."

Hearing her colleagues saying things like "died young" and "won't live long," Eina became a little angry. "Miss Rose, Miss Sophia, I don't think we should be so quick to judge someone's future..."

"Then, shall we take a gamble?"

The group actually had a good relationship in private, and there had been no workplace disputes within the 'guild,' so the werewolf woman spoke in a very casual tone.

"I bet that kid will only last six months at most... Okay, okay, I don't mean he'll kick the bucket, but he'll probably give up being an adventurer... Is that alright?"

"Then I'll bet two months."

Sofia responded.

"I'll get involved... um, for half a month."

Another human woman walked over and said, "Since it's a betting game, let's all take a small stake, and raise the stakes every two weeks..."

"Yes, yes!"

The situation escalated rapidly.

Meanwhile, the anger on Eina's face grew increasingly serious.

The joke went too far.

at last……

“Alright, in that case, I’ll be his advisor.”

The half-elf girl's words, spoken clearly and deliberately, instantly silenced the noisy counter area.

After a while...

"Huh? That's not what we meant."

"By the way, didn't you recently get assigned a special project by your superiors? You must be overwhelmed with work, right?"

The colleagues then realized that they had probably gone too far.

But now, what's done is done...

"It's alright, it's just taking care of one more adventurer, I can handle it."

Eina said angrily, "That's perfect, even though I'm a half-blood, I'm still considered an elf."

"In short, if I win, all the winnings will have to be given to that boy, and... he's not allowed to make any more bets like this in the future."

"Oh, oh~"

Seeing that the top member of the guild was already throwing a tantrum, no one dared to say anything more.

That's how it is...

Without the knowledge of the parties involved, a bet about how long a novice adventurer could survive began to slowly accumulate funds.

The period is... six months.

******

That noon, on the other side...

"Ling-Shu-Ge-Ge!"

"Let's talk this out, Seele. Put the cleaver down first."
