《New World - New Beginning》Chapter 60: I am officially a C-rank.
Advertisement
After 2 long minutes, the receptionist and the workshop employee recovered from the initial shock, so I again explained the situation.
Now that both of you have regained your senses, could you tell me where to put the bodies of these rocky willows? Please wait. I will open the outer door.
At that, the workshop employee went to a wall and began removing the containers on the floor. Seeing this, the other workers also began to help him.
As soon as they removed the seventh container, they revealed some rails on the floor, which suggested that the wall could be moved; however, the wall in question did not look fake. In fact, if you brought any person and saw it, they would tell you that it is indeed a wall. I do not know if it is made of different materials or if the person who painted it was a master. Once they removed all the boxes, they pressed a brick that apparently was the insurance and began to move the wall outward.
When the wall was removed, it showed a new site facing the training area. I could observe how some adventurers were training, some practising their shooting skills, others sparring, while others were chatting and watching the fights.
At the same time that Marco watched the fights of these adventurers, they also watched him with curiosity since it was uncommon for that door to open since they only do it when they have to take out the containers to sell the materials.
At that moment, the receptionist approaches Marco to proceed with the registration.
Please answer with complete honesty. All the monsters you are going to deliver were hunted by you. Not really, one was killed by the crab monkey, so when I kill the monkey, I take the rocky willow body. ... What about the others? Except for that one, all the others were hunted by me. Can I take the bodies out now?
The receptionist checks the crystal ball, showing a light blue tone, which proves that everything I said is true. Seeing this, the receptionist, with disbelief, replies to Marco.
...Yes ...go-ahead
Upon confirmation from the receptionist, she removed the bodies from the rocky willows, and I began to stack them in 3x3 cubes. If I had a ladder, I would try to stack them as if they were a Jenga, but since I don't, I have to stack them this way.
Due to the large number of monsters I brought, it was impossible not to make a commotion, so many adventurers began to look at the huge piles of monsters that were slowly forming and seemed to have no end. Some were even betting on how many monsters I had brought.
That guy must be crazy. How can he go out hunting rocky willows when there are other options. While the payoff is very good, their defence is too strong. It is only worth hunting them if you can use a sledgehammer with a strong attack ability or if you throw explosive magic at them. Are you out of your mind? Remember that those damn trees attack from a distance with their sharp roots. No matter how strong your sledgehammer or magic is, it won't do any good if you can't avoid their attacks. All in all, that guy doesn't look very strong. His body doesn't look like a guy who has a lot of strength. I'd say he's a magical swordsman. That would explain how he was able to hunt those rocky willows. Hey, look! There are already 50 rocky willows, and they don't seem to stop. What the hell, but how many have you hunted?!

The bodies of the rocky willows continued to accumulate more and more. The total had already passed 60, and little by little, they continued to increase. It quickly reached 70 but didn't seem to stop: 80, 90, 100, the more the number increased, so did the number of spectators, some even stopped practising just to see the commotion of it all.
Finally, when the last rocky willow came out, the adventurers let out a sigh of relief, they were afraid that Marco would continue to bring out more monsters and that their poor hearts couldn't take it anymore. Still, at the same time, they wondered how this guy hunted such a huge number of monsters?
But the ones who couldn't take it anymore were the employees of the workshop and the receptionist who saw the whole process, especially the receptionist since she is the one who knows that this guy went out to hunt all these monsters just to increase his adventurer rank from E to C and that it doesn't take more than 4 hours to hunt all this.
Well, as you can see, there are 121 rock willows and 50 crab monkeys, all of C rank. ... By the way, how much will I get paid for all of them? ... Hello? Miss receptionist? ... SEX! Huh? As I was saying, you finally reacted how much I will get paid for all these monsters. Ah... by any chance... the rocky willows there... do they have a core? I do not know. Don't you know? They came to me, and I just cut them in half. When the notification was that they were dead, I picked them up. They were like moths to the fire. Did they come to you? Then they are rocky willows without a core. How do you know they have no core? Do I hunt them without knowing that? Yes. ... I feel that every time I talk to you, you become more and more unpredictable. I get that a lot, but how do you know they don't have a core? ... *sigh* When a rocky willow gets its core, it not only increases its attack power, but it also gets some intelligence. The purer the monster's core, the more power and intelligence they have. I see... that explains a lot. Well, what about the price for the monsters? Let's see: Since they are rocky willows without core, their price is low; however, the wood of their trunk is in perfect condition, so it would be 30 gold for each one of them. As for the crab monkeys, except for one, the claws of the others are in perfect condition. It would be about 100 gold each. Perfect, give me the money. Okay, please escort me to a room while I bring the money. I also need your ID to process the official registration of your rank increase. Understood, here you go.
With that said, I handed him the adventurer card to register the rank increase and waited in a very similar room to the merchant guild. The wait was barely 2 minutes, as the receptionist returned with a black tray containing both my ID and 86 platinum coins and 30 gold coins.

Once I took the money and my ID, I asked the receptionist if I could take the mission to clean the tox dungeon of the academy.
Now that I am officially a rank C adventurer, I will take on the mission of cleaning the tox dungeon of the academy. Very well, sir, may I know the names of the rest of the members who will accompany you? What are you talking about? I'm going solo. I beg your pardon? I said I go solo. No rule says I must be accompanied. ...It is true that no rule says that, but people are accompanied for safety. Well, in my case, it is unnecessary; besides, I am in a bit of a hurry, and I could confirm the acceptance of this mission. ... okay sir, remember that the deadline is until Monday. I know. Thank you for everything.
With that said, I leave the adventurer's guild and head to the academy. I still can't believe the mission could not be recorded on my adventurer card. The truth is that as soon as I got the C rank adventurer card, I tried to record the mission to prevent others from taking it, but it didn't let me do it.
Apparently, for this quest, it is necessary to go to the receptionist to accept it. This prevents unskilled people from entering dangerous dungeons and getting other adventurers in trouble. It is as if you were taking a 5-7-year-old child to a house of terror whose main audience is adults.
...
After walking for about 20-30 minutes, I arrive at the academy to have Siri sign the document authorizing me to enter the tox dungeon, so I go to the secretary's room where she is and open the door.
Hello Siri, I'm here. Siri: Hi again, Marco. Let me guess... Do you want me to sign a document which authorizes you to enter the academy dungeon? Not only that, but I also want you to authorize me to clean it as many times as I want. Siri: What, why do you want to do that? Because I want to hunt all those monsters 50 times. Siri: Are you crazy? Not according to the psychiatrists who examined me on earth. Siri: The most I can do is allow you to use the dungeon for the whole day without restriction. After 24 hours, you will have to wait another 2 weeks if you want to do it again. It works for me. Siri: ... are you really going to do it? Well, I want to see if I can get a stat boost for killing the dungeon boss 50 times. Siri: *sigh* okay, but remember you can only do it for one day. Anyway... when are you going to do it? This Sunday, I must prepare a couple of things before trying. I will also need you to look after Kawaii momentarily that day. Could you do me that favour? Siri: No problem. Perfect, I also need you to give me information about that dungeon.
That said, Siri signs the documents and starts giving me all the relevant tox dungeon information.
This dungeon is of the permanent type. In it, you will find monsters from D+ to C rank. Each one has the poison element either in form or secondary form, so it is required to carry many antidotes to avoid any kind of problem. Among the monsters are the following: Toxelet Snail; Clam Piedraguja; Rainbow Cone Frog; PlanSpora, and finally, the Mutant Worm: GORD.
The snail and the clam are D+ rank monsters, while the frog and the plant are C rank. As for the final boss, GORD is a C+ rank. Siri warned me that the final boss has a very solid defence. Still, it is inside is quite delicate, so I could kill it easily if I throw a few grenades inside. The problem is that this worm only opens its mouth to eat and only attacks using the hardened poison plates on its body, so I must find a way to make it open its mouth.
With all that information, I proceeded to go to the library and see if I could find any information that would help me.
...
After 2 hours of being in the library looking for any relevant information, I didn't find anything useful. The only thing I learned was their elemental types and nothing else. It looks like I will have to ask the adventurers guild for information, but now I'm so tired that I just want to eat and sleep. So I went to the Chinese food restaurant and asked for something quick, to which they brought me a plate of wonton noodles, which I tasted and paid for.
After that, I went to my apartment to take a long bath and sleep as comfortably as possible.
