Qi Ji looked at the poster girl and asked, "Is what he said true?" The young lady nodded: "Voluntarily borrowing membership from others...we do not prohibit this." "Okay, let's fight." The fight only took a few seconds, and Qi Ji didn't mind the trouble. "Hey, Polyt, it's too mean to bully people like this." A bald man in the crowd laughed and cursed while drinking, "You are already thinking straight, but you are still playing with children. Aren't you ashamed?" "You're not thinking of taking advantage of that little girl, are you?" another short and strong fat man grinned while chewing a chicken leg, "Oh oh oh, so you're such a scumbag!" The muscular man called Bolut obviously knew all these people. He was not angry when he was scolded, but replied cheerfully: "Go away, don't get involved." "Oh, you're so anxious, what you said must have come true!" Everyone laughed again. In a relaxed and happy atmosphere, Polut took off the big knife behind him, threw it on a table, turned his neck and said to Qi Ji: "Come on, little girl, you go first!" After saying that, he opened his arms and bent his waist slightly. This posture was more like sumo wrestling than fighting.
Polyt didn't believe the nonsense that she was already twenty years old. If she were twenty years old, she would be buried soon! In his opinion, Qi Ji was just a girl who was too obsessed with reading heroic knight novels. On a whim, she ran to the Adventurer's Guild and wanted to imitate the heroes in the novels to kill monsters. He was a little worried that if he let her go like this, she would think that he was "unappreciated for his talent" and "unable to achieve his ambitions", and then run off to the Great Forest of the East Territory alone to fight against alien species. That would be a lot of fun. But he was not good at educating children verbally, so he might as well beat her until she cried, break her false self-confidence, and let her face the reality and stop committing suicide. Qi Ji didn't know about Bolut's psychological activities, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She just wanted to beat him down quickly and get the membership card. So without saying anything nonsense, he pushed his feet, making a crisp sound of the air bursting, and threw himself directly into Polyt's arms! "Huh? What's going on?" Polyt's eyes widened, and the scene in front of him suddenly became extremely strange, as if everything came alive, swimming around like fish, sometimes far away, sometimes near, all blurred together, like a scrambled puzzle, messy and indistinguishable. "boom!--" Before he realized what was happening, a short and heavy crash suddenly erupted behind him, shocking him awake. His vision also barely returned to normal, allowing him to see clearly... the ceiling? “Ugh, wuguwa… ah, cough cough…” There was a burning sensation in his chest, abdomen, and back, just like being doused with boiling water! The severe pain made him unable to move, and even breathing became difficult. Yes, he is now...lying on the ground. "I accidentally hit him a little too hard, I'm sorry... But don't worry, nothing serious will happen." Qi Ji returned to where he was at some point, and shook his wrist nonchalantly, "Is this still my win? Can you lend me your membership card?" Chapter 9 Successfully Accepted the Order The entire Fearless Guild suddenly fell into an icy silence. Everyone's laughter stopped abruptly, and they stared at Qi Ji in amazement, their brains short-circuited. "What happened?" Pollut was still confused. He waited until the swelling and pain in his body subsided a little, propped up his upper body and asked around confusedly, "Why did I fall to the ground? Did I slip?" "Uh, uh..." The bald guy who had been drinking before put down his glass tremblingly, ran forward to help Pollut up, and whispered in his ear:
"The little girl just now... suddenly disappeared, and then you were hit by something head-on, and you flew backwards, hit the wall, and fell down... That's it." "She did it!" Pollut couldn't believe it at all, but this was the only explanation. The bald guy nodded his head rapidly: "It shouldn't be wrong, we all saw it!" The shock in Bolut's heart was beyond words. He was a righteous warrior who had completely broken through the physical limits of mortals and officially entered the ranks of the extraordinary! Although he was promoted not long ago and was only in the early stages of righteousness, even ordinary people who had trained to the limit were nothing to him. But now... I was actually knocked down by a 14 or 15-year-old girl in an instant?! I couldn't even notice the process! This shows that the opponent's strength is far beyond my own! The crowd watching was speechless and in awe. Although Bolut was not the strongest in the guild, he was also one of the best among them. Qi Ji could crush him with an absolute advantage, which meant that she could definitely defeat everyone present. "It's about time you recovered," Qi Ji reminded again, "Can you lend me your membership card?" "Ah, ah, of course!" Poluto couldn't understand why such a powerful extraordinary person didn't register as an adventurer, but he had made a promise, and he couldn't break it in front of so many people. He quickly took out his membership card from his pocket and walked to the counter to hand it to the poster girl: "Just do as...I just said." "Okay, okay." The young lady took the membership card with a complicated look, then took out a booklet, spread it out, took out a dip pen from the storage box, and asked Qi Ji: "Excuse me, little sister...what is the lady's name?" "Qi...Xiun Lun, my name is Xue Lun." Qi Ji thought about it and decided to use a pseudonym. The young lady tapped the ink bottle with a pen and wrote something on the booklet. Then she turned around and rummaged through the cabinet at the back, took out a stack of papers, and handed it to Qi Ji who was waiting at the counter: "Here is a copy of the commission and the details. Please... stay safe, Ms. Sharon." Finally done! Qi Jilue happily held the information and flipped through it. There was not much content, just a brief introduction to the time and place of several caravan attacks, as well as some descriptions of the survivors. "By the way, do you have any information about extraordinary people and alien species?" Qi Ji suddenly remembered this and said, "Can you show it to me?" "Oh, of course." The young lady handed over a thin booklet. "This was originally a small gift for new members to join the club. I'm giving it to you." Qi Ji browsed through it quickly and soon formed a basic concept of this world's extraordinary system in his mind. The so-called extraordinary people are those who practice diligently to improve their spirituality in order to transcend the mundane world. According to different routes and directions, extraordinary people can be roughly divided into three categories: Warriors, mages, and clergymen. Each type of extraordinary person can be divided into five levels, and each level has its own name, which means that there are a total of fifteen levels with different names. The lowest level of a warrior is called "tempering skills", the next level is "right mindfulness", and the next level is "spiritual communication". Each of these three realms can be further divided into four small realms: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage. "It's so troublesome, why not just call us SABCD?" The levels of alien species are divided from high to low into S, A, B, C, and D. I don’t know why the extraordinary people don’t do this. Isn’t it difficult to remember? Alien species are pathological life forms born under the influence of supernatural factors. Such blasphemous creatures will never be bred in the natural ecosystem, hence the name. The higher the level of the alien, the higher the quality of the spirituality contained in the alien, but it does not represent the alien's combat effectiveness or vitality.
Therefore, only Lanchester, who was at the peak of his tempering skills, could fight back and forth with a C-level alien skull ghost. If the level and strength of the alien species were strictly corresponding, then a C-level alien species would be equivalent to a righteous mind warrior, and a righteous mind warrior could kill a tempering warrior with three punches. "So, B-level alien species may not be that strong?" Qi Ji was disappointed. "I feel cheated." Well, I've already accepted the commission, so I'd rather do it than not... "Thank you, I'll share the money with you when the time comes." Qi Ji thanked Bolute. This man looked a little strange, but he helped him anyway, so he should be thanked. After saying that, she walked out of the Fearless Guild with the information. She wanted to complete the task on the same day while it was still early! "Look at the position of the sun... It's already afternoon, and there are still about four or five hours before dark. We should be able to make it in time..." "Hey! Miss... Xiaoya!" Bolut hurriedly chased after her with a big knife in his hand, "Miss Sharon, please wait a moment!" Qi Ji stopped and turned to look at him in confusion: "Anything else?" Pollut ran over and stood still, his expression stiff and his eyes wandering: "Um... Miss Sharon, I'm really sorry for what I said just now. I was rude and offended you. I hope you can forgive me..." "Just say what you want to say." Qi Ji didn't want to waste time on politeness. “Uh, hehe…” Bolut was stunned and scratched the back of his head awkwardly, “My name is Bolut, I’m a warrior in the early stage of Righteousness, and I want to get to know you!” After the shock and surprise subsided, the first thing he felt was immense excitement. Although he had no defenses at first because he hadn't intended to be serious, the fact that he could easily defeat me, who was at the early stage of mindfulness, meant that Qi Ji had at least the strength of the peak of mindfulness, and it was very likely that he could even reach the level of psychic communication. He had never seen a warrior at the spiritual level! In fact, even in the entire Fearless Guild, there is not a single registered psychic warrior! And this mysterious Miss Sharon is very likely to be... or close to being a psychic. She looks so young, and her talent must be terrifyingly high. With such a golden thigh appearing right in front of him, how could Bolut resist the urge to strike up a conversation? Most middle-level warriors like him naturally admire and worship those at a higher level, and they feel it is a great honor to even just exchange a few words with each other. Qi Ji didn't have so many thoughts, but he was very curious about this new and unfamiliar world: "Oh, whatever—are you from here?" Seeing Qi Ji agree, Boluto was flattered and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Miss Sharon, I have lived in Stio since I was a child." "Then do you know who the strongest person in Stio is? Or who do you think he is?" Qi Ji was very interested in this. "Not limited to warriors." When Poluto heard this, he immediately stroked his chin and pondered for a while before answering in a serious tone: "If the scope refers to all the extraordinary people in the city... I think it should be the pastor of the church, the respected and noble Lord Rosago Xindanzhihui!" Church pastor? This answer surprised Qi Ji. After all, the title of priest... didn't sound like a very capable character. "Rosago? How powerful is he?" "The priest is from the Xindanzhihui family in the inland. He is highly respected and a preacher." Polut explained. The Elucidator is the third level of the Clergy, which roughly corresponds to "Psychic" when converted into a Warrior. According to Qi Ji's SABCD classification, it belongs to Class B.
"If there is a chance in the future, I can consider getting in touch with this combat priest." Qi Ji had some plans in mind, "I just don't know how that suspected B-level alien compares to him..." "I have to go on a mission now," she shook the documents in her hand, "so don't follow me." "Then I won't bother Miss Sharon." Pollut stood there, watching Qi Ji walk away until he was completely out of sight, then he murmured in a low voice: "Although I didn't see her face, I felt like she was a very cute little girl." Chapter 10: Clever! The so-called "Second Trade Route" is a forest path that crosses the Great Forest of the East. It allows one to directly cross the border to the neighboring "Glorious Plantagenet Empire", which is of great importance to itinerant merchants. Such a road, which is considered the lifeline of merchants, actually has aggressive alien species lurking. No wonder we have to hire special people to deal with it. "I'm back again." Qi Ji was filled with emotion as he stepped into the Great Forest of East Territory again after half a day. Only a few hours had passed, but a lot of things had happened and I had met a lot of people. Once in the forest, she took off her hood. No one was watching, so there was no point in covering her face. Following the map markings on the information, Qi Ji walked towards the trading trail at a normal walking pace. Because she was holding the map, her arms were exposed outside the cloak, and various sharp thorns of branches and leaves scraped the exposed skin, but her skin as smooth as cream was not left with even a trace. After about half an hour, the sun gradually set, the sky gradually darkened, and the forest covered with ancient trees also became dim. "We're almost there, but I don't know if that alien is still there. How long will it take to find it... Hmm?" She suddenly felt someone approaching her, right in front of her. So he stopped and looked ahead. Soon, with a rustling sound, three men and women emerged from the overgrown bushes. Judging from their attire, they were probably mercenaries or adventurers. There were two men and one woman, all of them had spiritual fluctuations and were obviously extraordinary beings. It’s just that the spiritual fluctuations of the man and woman at the back were a little special, very different from those of Lunsi, Lanchester, Pollut and others. If the spiritual fluctuations of Polyt and his companions are restrained and steady, then this man and woman are active and agile, with completely different characteristics. This meant that they were not warriors, but other types of extraordinary beings. Judging from the robes and canes they were wearing, they were most likely mages. "Someone?...Ah!? A little girl?!" When the three of them saw Qi Ji standing quietly under the shade of a tree, they immediately looked as if they had seen a ghost. Imagine this: in a primeval forest full of dangers and no one is around, you suddenly see a teenage girl staring at you. Isn't this a haunted place? "Hello." Qi Ji didn't feel anything, so he greeted them naturally. "You, you are..." The three men on the opposite side raised their weapons cautiously and formed a formation ready for battle. "Don't be so nervous. I won't eat you."
She spread out her empty hands to show that she meant no harm. The three men still did not let down their guard. The man in the lead, holding a long sword, said in a deep voice, "Excuse me, who are you? Why are you here alone?" "I'm an adventurer from Stio, and I'm carrying out a commission." Qi Ji lowered his hands and responded in a mature and calm tone. But coupled with that tender and sweet voice, it was a different kind of cuteness. "Adventurer?" The leading swordsman was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that Qi Ji’s age made it difficult for him to associate him with an “adventurer”.
