"Stark, did you finish that quest I told you about the other day?"
"Stark, you’re back already? Help out with one of my quests."
"Stark, here’s the money I borrowed the other day. You really helped out."
I was surrounded the mont that I walked into the Adventurer’s Guild.
It had been a week since I joined and I had already beco the center of attention like this.
I hadn’t wanted to draw this much attention, but it was hard not to draw attention after everything that I had done. With the strength that I demonstrated, everyone saw as a future A Ranker since I had been able to match a forr A Ranker in a fight.
That was a large part of why they all wanted to get closer to .
The more connections that one had, the safer they would be in the adventurer world.
It was even better if the other side was a high ranking adventurer like an A Rank Adventurer.
In short, there was nothing to lose from forming a connection with soone high up.
I also understood this, which was why I chose to beco friends with all of these people.
Even if they weren’t high ranking adventurers, it would be good to have connections that I could use in the future.
The other reason they were so enthusiastic was because of how I acted.
I didn’t act like a doormat, but no one would deny soone that acted friendly towards them.
Since I approached everyone, they had no reason to reject .
Once I finished talking to all of these adventurers, I went over to the mission board to see if there was anything good.
While I was doing this, the receptionist ca out from behind the desk and said to , "You really are serious about being an adventurer. You’re always coming and going on missions. But you should take so ti to rest up as well."
I looked at her with a smile before saying, "I’m still new, so I want to get as much experience as possible. At the sa ti, I’m soone that ca from the countryside, so it’s not as if I have that much money in the first place."
"You say that, but you’re lending money to people." The receptionist said with a snort before saying in a softer voice, "You should really take care of yourself more."
"Well, I’ll settle down once I’ve made enough money that I don’t need to worry about my living costs. After that, I’ll take the easy life as an adventurer."
She looked at again with a concerned look, but she gave a nod to show that she understood before heading back behind the desk.
I gave a secret sigh when I saw this.
The reason that I was taking all of these missions was actually to have an excuse to go out and search this area.
This Adventurer’s Guild branch that I registered in was in a place far away from where any other avatar was. But this was a place that was a treasure trove based on my experience with the ga.
I knew that even though this Adventurer’s Guild branch was remote, it was a place with plenty of natural resources.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a forr A Rank Adventurer as a guild master.
During my ti scouting, I had already found several different treasures.
It was just about finding the ti to harvest them, but that would have to wait until I raised my rank.
While I was looking at the board, there was soone that suddenly walked over.
"Are you looking for a request?"
I looked at them with one brow raised when I heard this.
The one that had approached was a chubby middle aged man.
With the way that he looked at , there was a part of that scread stranger danger.
"Is he one of those people that are into...?"
That was all that I could think when I saw him looking at like this.
"I’m not a strange person." He said when he saw the way that I looked at him, but all that did was make him seem even more suspicious.
Taking a deep breath, I asked, "What do you want with ?"
The middle aged man’s eyes lit up when he heard this before saying, "I was looking for a guard to protect and my cargo. I was about to post a mission when I saw you looking for one and I thought that I could ask you directly."
No matter how he said this, this was a suspicious request.
So in the end, "Thank you for thinking of , but I don’t think that I’m the right person for this. There’s plenty of others that are far more qualified for this request. It would be best if you went to them."
I said before turning around to leave.
The sooner that I moved away from this middle aged man, the better.
But he didn’t seem to want to let leave as he followed behind and said, "Of course I was planning on hiring others as well, but I felt that you were perfect since I’ve heard the rumours about you. I hope that you will be able to help ."
When he said this, it felt like there was sothing seeping into my mind.
"Mind control magic?" I thought to myself when I felt this.
Though he was trying to use this magic on , it didn’t actually have an effect since my ntal defenses from my shared stats were just too strong.
However, this person was clearly causing trouble in this Adventurer’s Guild branch...
If I let him cause this trouble, I would get caught up in this...
The best way to handle this was to take care of him myself.
"I’ll consider it when I see the request." I said in a voice that made it seem like I had fallen for his mind control magic.
The middle aged man just said with a smile, "Of course."
Then without hesitation, he headed off towards the receptionist counter.
