NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 110 – 27th Floor and the New Floor Boss!
Chapter 110 - 27th Floor and the New Floor Boss!
"By the way, I heard you took on a commission?"
After updating his status, Loki chatted with Luke as he got dressed.
"Yeah, that's right. I saw it on the bulletin board a few days ago and decided to take it on."
"Oh~ That's rare. I remember you always used to focus on grinding monsters with Ais, so why did you suddenly think of doing a commission?"
Luke rarely took on adventurer commissions.
No, it would be more accurate to say that he almost never did, so Loki was interested to hear that he had taken on one.
"There's no particular reason. I just happened to see it."
"The content of the commission is to request adventurers to bring back certain materials from around the 25th floor. I thought it was on the way, so I took it."
Luke answered Loki as he pulled his head out of his shirt.
"The 25th floor? I see, the Water City."
"If it's on the way, then your goal is the floor boss of the 27th floor?"
Luke didn't say anything in response to Loki's words, but simply nodded to her.
His goal was indeed the 27th floor.
The potential ability value of the floor boss of this floor, located in the lower floors of the dungeon, was judged to be Lv5.
Under special conditions, it could even reach Lv6, which was perfect for Luke to obtain the 'Great Feat' of upgrading to Lv5.
That's why he said that the adventurer commission was just a side thing, since he was going to pass through the 25th floor anyway.
The so-called adventurer commission.
To put it simply, it is a system where the client prepares a payment and then makes a request, and the adventurer receives the money in return for completing the request.
To accept an adventurer commission, you must go to the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters on Northwest Street.
The commissions posted on the bulletin board of the Guild Headquarters are typically the kind that Luke can accept, requesting adventurers to enter the dungeon to collect certain resources.
The types of commissions are not limited, so the bulletin board usually has all sorts of content.
Collecting resources, recruiting temporary members, exchanging items, and even official information about the dungeon or adventurers provided by the Guild.
Most adventurer commissions are aimed at areas below the 'middle floors'.
This is because the upper floors of the dungeon can be explored by any Familia or adventurer as long as they form a team and spend some time.
Unless they are truly talentless in adventure, they should at least be able to reach the 7th floor or so.
Half of the adventurers in Orario are Lv1s who have not yet ranked up, in other words, 'low-class adventurers'.
Most Familias can easily reach the 'upper floors', but very few can reach the 'middle floors', simply because the number of adventurers qualified to enter the 'middle floors' is limited.
This is also why the entrance of the middle floors, the 13th floor, is also known as the 'First Line'.
However, not just anyone can post an adventurer commission at the Guild's bulletin board.
In general, only reputable Familias or merchants are qualified to post commissions at the Guild Headquarters.
It's not that others can't, but the main factor affecting eligibility is 'credit'.
The Guild needs to confirm that the adventurer can get a reasonable reward, which means confirming that they can get the reward and that the reward is reasonable.
Every commission posted by the Guild has been manually reviewed, and it has the signature of the client or the emblem of the Familia.
Of course, where there are legitimate commissions, there will always be illegitimate ones.
There are some pubs and hotels near the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters on Northwest Street, where you can find these kinds of illegitimate adventurer commissions.
Sometimes the client is not convenient to show up, or the client is an ordinary person or a new Familia with not enough credit, or the content of the commission is too strange to be approved by the Guild.
These types of commissions will all appear here.
Some of the clients do not plan to pay at all from the beginning, and there are also commissions that are purely malicious traps.
It is a real "anything goes" kind of commission.
These private institutions, such as pubs, are also part of the industry of a certain Familia, and can be considered a kind of life-type Familia.
In addition, these places also sell information to customers, and act as information dealers.
They earn money by charging a fee on adventurer commissions and selling the information they acquire to operate their Familia.
The types of Familias in Orario are indeed varied. There are all kinds of strange Familias you can think of and can't imagine.
The adventurer commission that Luke took on was posted by the Guild, so there is usually no problem.
However, Loki is not concerned about this, she is concerned about Luke's plan to challenge the monster rex.
"Are you sure?"
Loki regretted asking the question as soon as she asked it, because she knew she had asked a very stupid question.
Luke's upgrade this time means that he can officially become a first-class adventurer.
This is a very important event for Loki Familia, and it made Loki subconsciously worry for a moment.
But it was only for a moment.
Now that Luke was a Lv4 adventurer, he has completely made up for his lack of physical fitness.
I'm afraid even Riveria and Gareth don't know how powerful he is.
Because Luke hasn't fought at full strength for a long time.
However, Loki knows.
When Luke upgraded to Lv4, he had a private sparring session with Finn.
The two of them seemed to be continuing the battle that they had been interrupted when Luke first joined Loki Familia.
As the only witness to that sparring session, Loki can be said to be the only one, besides Finn, who knows Luke's true strength.
...
According to Luke and Ais's pace, it will probably only take about a week to go back and forth to the 27th floor.
In general, as long as ordinary members do not enter the dungeon for more than a week, they do not need to report to their Familia.
But Luke and Ais are different. The two of them, who have already upgraded to Lv4, are now real core members of Loki Familia.
They must report to Finn or Riveria when they enter the dungeon, especially if they are going to the lower floors after the 25th floor.
Only with the permission of the captain or vice-captain can core members leave the Familia's residence for a long time.
After all, core members can already represent the Familia to a certain extent.
If they disappear for several days, they have to report where they are going.
Normally, Luke and Ais would choose to report to Finn.
This is not to say that their relationship with Finn is better than with Riveria.
On the contrary, Luke and Ais actually have a better relationship with Riveria.
Because in their first year of joining Loki Familia, it was Riveria who took them both into the dungeon, and they learned all kinds of knowledge from Riveria.
In the entire Loki Familia, apart from each other, Luke and Ais spent most of their time with Riveria.
As for why they didn't go to Riveria to report...
It's mainly because Riveria is getting more and more worried.
As Luke and Ais become stronger, Riveria's nagging about them is also increasing.
Luke and Ais have been exploring the dungeon together for the past few years, and their strength is far superior to ordinary people. There has never been a problem so far.
But as they go deeper and deeper into the dungeon, Riveria becomes more and more worried.
The strength and number of monsters in the deeper floors of the dungeon are gradually increasing.
Therefore, the Guild recommends a minimum of three people for an adventurer team.
And Luke and Ais's team, with only two people, is too risky in Riveria's eyes.
