WTYTIAAN Chapter 105

Chapter 105

Yan Yunqing noticed that the man behind the counter was looking at him with a dazed and incredulous expression.

Yan Yunqing:?

Why is he looking at him like that? Was the test difficult?

Thinking this, he asked the question aloud.

Man: …

Is he showing off? He’s definitely showing off, right?

The man fell silent, quietly replacing the iron badge he was about to give Yan Yunqing with a silver-white one. “This is the Silver Badge of the Association. You can accept all tasks up to the Silver level.”

“Does the test only go up to this level?”

“Yes, but with your strength, I believe you will soon be promoted to the highest level of Bounty Hunter.” The man pointed to the mission board over there, “The Association has a special mission board. You can accept missions on your own, or you can come to the counter and have someone from the Association help you accept them.”

“The conditions for advancing to Gold Hunter require completing at least thirty missions, including 10 Silver-level missions and 5 Bronze-level missions. The mission success rate must be above 90%.”

“Every large city has a Bounty Hunter Association branch. You can accept missions at any branch, and you can also submit missions at any branch. Please note that some missions have regional requirements, meaning that when submitting the mission, you need to submit it at the Association branch in the designated city.”

“Each mission has a set completion time after you accept it. If you fail to complete the mission within the set time, it will be considered a mission failure. More than five mission failures will result in the risk of demotion. Please be careful not to accept too many missions at once to avoid missing the mission submission time, leading to mission failure.”

“…”

After listening to the rules of the Bounty Hunter Association, Yan Yunqing went to the self-service mission kiosk to select missions.

He checked all the cities that would be passed from Freedom City to Sigret Academy, and a bunch of missions popped up, densely packed and dazzling.

Seeing this machine, Yan Yunqing could sense the magic power supply. To be honest, the tech tree in this world is really skewed; the rich and the poor are completely in two different worlds.

Ordinary people are still living in an agrarian society with men plowing and women weaving, while nobles and capable mages and swordsmen have already set foot into a semi-intelligent society.

Isn’t the function of this thing in front of Yan Yunqing similar to that of an early old-fashioned computer? Add magic link, real-time update of the mission list, and this is a small internet.

If someone studies this kind of thing further, it will directly skip the industrial revolution and enter the technological revolution.

As expected, the development of the tech tree is strange in a world with magic.

Yan Yunqing picked out all the missions to kill magical creatures. He accepted all magical creature levels up to 60. But these were not enough for thirty missions, so Yan Yunqing accepted a few more collection missions.

These collection missions were not low-level, and the commissions were generous, but they were basically located in dangerous areas, and one magical plant even grew in the territory of a level 70 magical creature.

Yan Yunqing accepted it as well, but the collection mission was not for him to challenge that level 70 magical creature, simple.

As he submitted the missions he accepted, the system panel popped up, and a long list of mission names also popped up.

The first time a Bounty Hunter who has just joined the Association accepts a mission, the person in charge will be notified.

So, the man who had just handled Yan Yunqing’s procedure to join the Association received a message notification. He casually opened the message and took a look, almost thinking he had seen it wrong.

“1, 2, 3…” The man silently counted, dazedly discovering that Yan Yunqing had accepted thirty missions in one go, just meeting the conditions he mentioned for promotion to Gold Hunter.

The man gasped, murmuring, “As expected of a powerhouse who dared to blow up the Bato Royal Palace, he actually dares to accept thirty missions in one go.”

And most of them are missions to hunt magical creatures. Is this a killing god reincarnated? Terrifying.

The return journey was much smoother than Yan Yunqing had expected. Before, when he came to Freedom City alone, he needed to be wary of the magical creatures that popped out from time to time, and he also had to consider arriving at Freedom City as soon as possible to start the assessment, lest he not be able to submit it in time after completing the assessment, resulting in the assessment failing.

Now that the assessment goal has been completed, and there is plenty of time left, Yan Yunqing only needs to return to Sigret Academy before the last day of the assessment deadline.

Moreover, with Diviak taking turns guarding the night with him, Yan Yunqing’s sleep time became much more relaxed.

By doing the missions accepted from the Bounty Hunter Association while timing it perfectly, Yan Yunqing returned to Buma City with three days left until the assessment deadline.

And because of his non-stop killing of magical creatures and doing missions along the way, Yan Yunqing’s level has slightly increased again, stuck at level 59, almost level 60.

This is also thanks to his constant level-skipping monster killing, and the fact that the other teammate in the team is Diviak, who doesn’t need to share experience, to achieve such a terrifying leveling speed.

After re-registering at the city guard station, having gotten used to the free and unrestrained system of Freedom City, he felt a little uncomfortable suddenly returning to Buma City, which requires registration to enter and has strict management.

Diviak looked at the puppet city guards, and then at Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing: “…You don’t have an ID, do you?”

Diviak blinked, silent.

Yan Yunqing supported his forehead; he forgot that Diviak is a different race, and a giant dragon clan with powerful strength. He doesn’t need ID anywhere, because he can directly transform into a dragon. Whether he directly breaks in head-on or secretly flies in from above in the middle of the night, these city walls can’t stop Diviak.

The puppet city guards have no wisdom, so they just stared straight at Diviak and Yan Yunqing, waiting for Diviak to show his ID, and then register it, turning a blind eye to their eye-rolling behavior in front of them.

If real city guards were standing here, they probably would have already regarded Diviak as some kind of lawbreaker.

…Although the real lawbreaker is him.

Yan Yunqing thought for a while, “Oh right, didn’t you say you were an honorary professor at Sigret? I remember that students at the academy are issued badges, and teachers should also have something that can prove their identity, right? Do you remember if you put it somewhere?”

Each different race has its own racial skills. The giant dragon clan is born with a love for wealth, and begins to build its own treasure trove from birth, using special racial skills to link the treasure trove to itself, so that it can take things from the treasure trove no matter where it is.

This also belongs to a type of space magic, but the usage is singular, and it requires magic power to activate, not as easy to use as Yan Yunqing’s player backpack.

Diviak recalled Yan Yunqing’s words, rummaging through his treasure trove, finally finding a dust-covered badge in a corner.

It was dusty and severely worn. When Yan Yunqing saw that there were many scratches on the badge, he couldn’t help but ask, “What did you use this thing for before?”

Why does it look even more broken than a beer bottle cap?

Diviak scratched his nose, answering very honestly, “I used it to sharpen Amos’s claws before.”

Seeing Yan Yunqing’s indescribable expression, he added, “Isabelle’s badge was used to pick Amos’s teeth.”

Yan Yunqing: …

So you two did this in front of Merlin? Didn’t Merlin get mad?

Forget it, maybe Merlin used his magic wand as a cat teaser for the little dragon cubs.

Isabelle likes that cub so much, maybe Merlin also loves Amos as his own son because of it.

Diviak showed his badge at the city guard station. The puppet city guard recognized it for a long time, so long that Yan Yunqing almost thought that the puppet had a problem, before it displayed passage.

…Okay, it seems that the badge was too broken, and the not-very-smart, almost mentally retarded puppet city guard couldn’t recognize it.

Taking Diviak into the city, Yan Yunqing successfully found Sigret Academy’s office according to his memory.

It was already winter at this time, and people on the street were wearing thick clothes. The Walkerly teacher from the office before was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a white-haired grandma wearing a heavy magic robe, sitting at the table and carefully reading a thick book by the roaring fire.

Yan Yunqing knocked on the door. The grandma didn’t even lift her head, turning a page of the book, “Come in.”

As soon as Yan Yunqing entered the door, he felt a rush of warmth, drying the wet cold he brought in, and his earlobes were almost hot.

“What is it?”

The old grandma was still turning the pages of the book in her hand, not intending to look up at Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing took a step forward, “I’m the one who came with a letter of recommendation for the entrance exam before. I’ve now completed the exam mission. Can you help me contact Ms. Allison? I want to submit the exam mission.”

“Huh?” Hearing this, the old grandma finally deigned to look up, pushing up the glasses hanging on her nose as she looked at Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing took out the letter of recommendation and placed it on the table.

The old grandma took the letter, took a look at it, frowned, and looked at Yan Yunqing with a bit of scrutiny.

“Level 59? Quite impressive, actually completing the recommendation entrance exam.” Her gaze fell on Diviak behind Yan Yunqing. After realizing that the other party’s level exceeded her own, a hint of guard flashed in her eyes.

“And this one? A bodyguard your family sent to follow you?” The old grandma said slowly, her tone not very friendly, “Sigret doesn’t allow students to come to school with bodyguards.”

Yan Yunqing was taken aback. He clearly felt a hint of hostility emanating from the old grandma; it wasn’t obvious, but he was very good at perceiving emotions, and he saw the other party’s hidden dislike at a glance.

What’s going on? He offended a teacher as soon as he met?

Yan Yunqing’s gaze fell on the letter of recommendation still on the table. This old grandma seemed to show her dislike and vague hostility towards him when she saw this letter of recommendation.

Diviak also sensed it, and was about to take a step forward when Yan Yunqing preempted him.

He innocently tilted his head, “No, this one seems to be a teacher at the academy, right? We met him at the city guard station and came in together.”

The old grandma was stunned, “A teacher?”

Her gaze fell on Diviak, taking a bit of measuring look, seemingly recalling whether there was such a teacher in her memory.

Yan Yunqing turned to the side and gave Diviak a look.

Diviak understood, and took out the dragon-gnawed badge again, pinning it to his chest, proudly sticking out his chest.

Yan Yunqing: …Can’t bear to watch.

Old grandma: …? It is indeed the academy professor badge, but why is it broken like this?
