Then she began to introduce them one by one.
"Alright. Since you said you want to be an adventurer, you should have some understanding of it, but I'll explain it again... First of all, an adventurer is someone who is responsible for hunting down monsters that live outside of towns... In other words, someone who hunts down things that harm the people. That being said, they're basically no different from know-it-alls... The general term for people who make a living through this kind of work is adventurer. And then, adventurers are divided into various professions."
Roya seemed thoughtful. In other words, adventurers in this world actually have many professions; they're the type who go into battle with their swords when needed, and go home to farm when not. Of course, "farming" here is just a metaphor, not an actual act of going home to farm.
But thinking about it carefully, it's normal. For people in this world, defeating a demon king is unlikely. Although it sounds cruel, that's the truth.
Chapter 272 Becoming an Adventurer
The disaster brought by the Demon King will not affect this border town. Instead of caring whether the hero has successfully defeated the Demon King, people are more concerned about whether the crops in the fields will yield a good harvest this year.
Although the plants in this world are the kind that fly around randomly when they mature.
But that's roughly the idea.
The clerk then handed Roya a card.
It was about the size of a driver's license and looked like an ID card or something.
"Look here, isn't there a system called 'Level'? As you both know, everything in this world possesses a soul. No matter what kind of being it is, if it consumes or kills a living being—that is, terminates some life activity—it can absorb a portion of that being's soul's memory. That's what's commonly called 'Experience Points.' These Experience Points are generally not visible to the naked eye. However…"
The clerk pointed to a spot on the card and explained, "By holding this card, the experience points an adventurer absorbs will be displayed on it. At the same time, the corresponding level will also be shown. This is the standard for an adventurer's strength; how many enemies have been defeated is also recorded here. As experience points accumulate, various creatures will suddenly grow rapidly one day. This is what's called crossing the level-up barrier... In short, as long as you level up, you'll get various benefits, such as points to learn new skills, etc. Therefore, please be sure to work hard to level up!"
Luo Ya nodded; the system-like panel was easy to explain.
However, it is more detailed than Roya's system panel, although its functions are relatively limited.
Level, profession, attributes, and then the level is made specific. When the experience is full, you can level up. Leveling up will give you attribute enhancements and skill points. You can then use skill points to add points to your skills.
It's very simple and clear. It's not that it's no different from the online games Luo Ya played in his previous life; it's just that they're exactly the same.
After coughing lightly a few times, the clerk took out a piece of paper from under the counter and placed it on the counter. She smiled at Luo Ya and said, "First of all, please fill in your height, weight, age, physical characteristics, and other information on this form."
Luo Ya nodded. As for the procedures, it's not like we're talking about anything shady.
He was 1.85 meters tall, 15 years old, with blond hair and golden eyes. Then Roya's gaze fell on the last line as he fell into deep thought.
weight?
I certainly can't be calculated according to the standards of a normal human, but if I were to calculate it according to my own weight in the Mushoku Tensei world, it would seem a bit outrageous.
Never mind, I'll just fill in any number.
Thinking of this, Luo Ya wrote down seventy kilograms on the paper, which is to say, one hundred and forty jin.
For someone who is 1.8 meters tall, this level of thinness is considered somewhat underweight.
After filling in his information, the clerk at the counter looked slightly surprised.
The boy hesitated for a moment and said to Roya, "Only fifteen? That's still too young. Do you really want to become an adventurer? I don't think you're someone who lacks money."
Although she had never heard of the nobleman being Grerat, judging from Roya's demeanor, she couldn't help but think that he must be of noble birth.
The boys from the countryside don't have this kind of magnanimity, especially at this age.
From the moment the young man calmly stepped out of the guild entrance and stood beside the bounty board, everyone's eyes were focused on Roya.
Although most of the people's gazes were scrutinizing and examining, they didn't seem to harbor much malice.
But with so many people watching, especially in an unfamiliar environment surrounded by strangers, few people can withstand it without changing their expression unless they have a very strong mentality.
Especially given Roya's calm and composed attitude, she has decided to ask the guild leader later if there is a nobleman named Greirat living nearby.
If a nobleman were to die here unexpectedly, it would make things very difficult.
Although this is a border region, far from the capital, the Demon King's main forces are all focused on the capital, and the surrounding area is only occupied by weak magical beasts.
But what if?
It's not uncommon for novice adventurers to be killed by goblins. Even experienced adventurers are at risk of being eaten by monsters at any time, let alone newbies like Roya.
If someone comes and causes a scene because their offspring died here, it will also cause the guild some distress.
At first, I just thought the boy in front of me was good-looking, but now that I've come to my senses, I realize that making him an adventurer is not a good thing.
Roya shrugged, appearing nonchalant, and casually said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I've been training diligently. I'm proud to say that my swordsmanship is quite good."
After another tug-of-war, the counter clerk finally had no choice but to nod.
There were adventurers as young as fifteen, and even younger ones, but what she was mainly afraid of was that the person in front of her was someone who had escaped from the capital.
However, seeing the other party's resolute attitude, the counter lady could only sigh and said to Roya, "Then, please touch this card. This way, you can know the parameters of your various abilities, and then you can choose the profession you want based on the values. After accumulating experience, you can learn different special skills according to the chosen profession, which is also one of the bases for choosing a profession."
Roya nodded and reached out to touch the card.
The moment Roya's fingers touched the card again, a dazzling golden light flashed from the small card, a light so bright that it could not be concealed even in broad daylight.
The dazzling light captivated the attention of all the adventurers, drawing their gazes in unison.
Even the saleswoman at the counter seemed a little flustered, as if it was the first time she had ever seen such a scene.
The clerk realized what was happening and looked at the information on the card.
"What? What?! What's going on with this number?!"
The saleswoman stared at Luo Ya in disbelief, looking as if she'd seen a ghost.
Curious onlookers tried to take a look, but were chased away by the counter girl. The girl with dazzling blonde hair straightened her clothes, suppressed the shock written on her face, and said seriously to Roya, "All your parameters far exceed the average of ordinary adventurers. No, you might not have a good grasp of that, so let me explain in more detail. Even those adventurers in their twenties probably don't have as high attributes as you at level one. Do you know that?"
Chapter 273 First Expedition
The surrounding people instantly erupted in a commotion, with a large group of people huddled together whispering among themselves.
Luo Ya was genuinely surprised; it seemed a bit too far-fetched to say that.
Roya scratched his head and casually asked, "Is it that amazing?"
The saleswoman leaned right up to Roya's face and exclaimed, "This isn't about how powerful it is anymore! With this attribute, you can choose any of the superior professions! Including the Paladin 'Cross Knight,' who prides himself on the strongest defense; the Swordsman 'Sword Master,' who prides himself on the strongest attack; the superior profession of Priest 'High Priest,' and so on!"
Luo Ya frowned and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, Roya didn't really have any feelings about these professions.
As for his profession, let's talk about that later. He doesn't lack any relevant skills right now.
The girl seemed to realize her lapse in composure, and after calming down, she slowly said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Luna. I help out with various odds and ends in this town. In short, you are quite outstanding, and I'm sure you will soon become a top-notch adventurer."
Luo Ya didn't really understand this kind of thing, and shrugged, saying, "Who knows what the future holds? Maybe I'm not as good as you say."
Luna shook her head and said with certainty, "With your attributes, you will definitely become an excellent adventurer."
Roya didn't continue the topic, took the card back, and said with a smile, "Then thank you for your kind words."
After speaking, Roya walked towards the adventurer's bounty board to prepare to accept a quest.
"Slay the Giant Frog: Slay five giant frogs within three days for a reward of 100,000 Eris."
"Goblin Extermination: Exterminate goblins that inhabit the rocky mountains at the edge of the forest. The reward for exterminating one goblin is 20,000 Eris, with no upper limit."
"Slay the goblins: Go to a nearby dungeon and hunt down hordes of goblins. The reward for killing one goblin is 20,000 Eris, with no upper limit."
These are all very profitable and common raiding missions.
Whether it's giant frogs, goblins, or gnomes, these are all monsters that novice adventurers can handle, but of course, you need to be fully prepared.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ya accepted all of these lowest-level tasks.
Roya walked to the counter and said to Luna, "That's all."
Luna glanced at it a few times and nodded. She had already looked at Roja's attributes. As long as he didn't do anything reckless, none of the monsters around him could stand against him. Under such circumstances, there was indeed no need to worry too much about him.
"Since you're new here, you're probably a bit unfamiliar with the surroundings. I think you'll spend more time searching for monsters than fighting them, right?"
Luna began by saying this.
Luo Ya nodded, and that was indeed the case, but he didn't seem to care.
Although this is the starting point for the protagonist and his group, it seems that it will be some time before Kazuma and his group appear here. Moreover, even if they do appear here, he doesn't intend to have much interaction with them.
After all, this group of idiots is really troublesome, and if Roya gets entangled with them, he will have a real headache.
Kazuma is alright. Although he's called a scumbag, he's still a normal person.
But Aqua is different.
Roya could imagine that getting entangled with this guy would definitely make things extremely troublesome.
Just thinking about that scene made Luo Ya's lips twitch.
In short, let's talk about that later. For now, let's level up first, and after some time, when my attributes have recovered to about 70-80%, I'll try to go straight for the Demon King.
If we kill the Demon King, will he drop a lot of equipment?
While pondering, Roya returned to the lawn.
The sky is still the same sky, and the earth is still the same earth.
I don't know the exact season, but the room temperature is over 20 degrees Celsius and the weather is sunny. If I really want to calculate it, it should be between summer and autumn.
Roya stroked the ring on his right index finger. It was the artifact he brought to this world. According to Aqua, as long as the magic power was sufficient, it could open the barrier between the two worlds.
Of course, this thing is usually used to break through things like barriers.
Magic gathered in Roya's eyes, and an invisible domain began to unfold. Little by little, magic was smuggled out of the shackles, like toothpaste being squeezed out.
