Walking on the streets of Shade City, Zhang Lang's eyes were attracted by the surrounding scenery.
Shade City is not big. A small river flows through the center of the city, and the entire city is shrouded in a hemispherical protective cover. Many strange trees can be seen in the city.
No, to be precise, they were not trees, but grasses and shrubs magnified countless times. As for real trees, Zhang Lang could only see one in the tree-shaded city.
It was a huge tree that covered the sky and the sun!
It is difficult to see the full picture of this giant tree clearly from the city. Only the layers of tree crowns can be seen, overlapping like mountains, extending all the way up into the clouds. This tree made Zhang Lang know the word towering into the clouds.
, is not an exaggerated rhetoric.
"No wonder it's called Shade City..." Zhang Lang looked up at the terrifying giant tree: "This must be the World Tree."
"How come you don't even know about the World Tree?" Xiu En and Xiaoye who were traveling with them asked in confusion: "Ren who comes to Shade City can see the World Tree dozens of kilometers away. Did you appear in the city out of thin air?
?”
Zhang Lang waved his hand: "I drank too much when I came here, and I was in the store when I woke up."
"What about your friends?" Xiaoye asked curiously.
"They went to the Adventurer's Guild first, but I don't know the way..." Zhang Lang finally made up a lie that was barely passable.
I don't know if it was the intervention of the altar, but Xiuen and Xiaoye did not doubt it and took him all the way to the Adventurer's Guild.
This is a tall building located in the center of Shade City. According to Xiu En, the entire Shade City was established by the Adventurer's Guild. This is basically equivalent to the government department of Shade City, managing all matters.
Pushing the door and entering, the lobby on the first floor of the guild is very lively. Hundreds of adventurers gathered here early in the morning. There is a bulletin board on the left side of the hall with various tasks posted on it. On the right side is a bar that provides drinks and food.
, facing the door at the innermost side, is the reception desk, with a row of receptionists sitting inside. They are basically young women of humans and elves, beautiful and approachable.
"If you want to register, just go to the reception desk..." Xiu En and Xiao Ye introduced: "We have made an appointment with our companions to meet here. We also want to see if there are any suitable tasks, so we won't accompany you."
"Thank you..." Zhang Lang nodded to the two of them and walked straight to the reception desk.
"Xiu En, don't you think this person is strange?" Xiaoye frowned: "We are already in Shade City, but we still don't know anything... Is there any problem?"
Xiu En smiled: "Although he is a little cold, I feel that he is not bad. And when we first met Lao Zhao, didn't he know nothing about Qiongluo Island?"
"Old Zhao? How can he compare with Old Zhao?" Xiaoye curled his lips: "Isn't there just one Old Zhao in the world?"
"Okay, stop thinking about it, let's look at the mission..."
Zhang Lang has already arrived at the reception desk.
There were not many people coming to do business early in the morning, and there was basically no queue. Zhang Lang picked one at random. The receptionist was a human girl in her twenties, dressed in business attire, with long brown hair braided into a thick twist.
The braid is placed on the chest, looking intellectual and friendly.
"How can I help you?" The girl showed a professional smile.
"I want to register as an adventurer."
"Register...?" The girl seemed hesitant: "Have you registered in other continents before?"
Zhang Lang shook his head: "This is my first time to register."
"That's it...please wait a moment." The girl rummaged under the counter for a while before taking out a registration form.
"Please fill it in."
Zhang Lang took the form and relied on his talent as a language master to easily understand the text on it. He picked up the pen and filled in the items one by one.
"Are there very few people registered here?" Zhang Lang noticed that the registration form seemed difficult to find.
"To be honest, I have been coming to Shade City for a while, and you are the first one to register here!"
Zhang Lang raised his eyes: "Why?"
"Because Shade City is the only city in the inland area of Qiongluo Island. If you want to come here, you must pass through the port connected to the old road, Sky City and Diluo City. These two cities are also controlled by the Adventurer's Guild, so you can come here
Those who come to Shade City are all registered adventurers."
At this point, the girl paused: "I would like to ask, are you from the Blue Sky Chamber of Commerce?"
"No." Zhang Lang filled out the form and handed it back: "Why do you ask that?"
"Because apart from the adventurers, there are only people from the Blue Sky Chamber of Commerce here. They cooperate with the guild all year round to help with the construction of Sky City." The receptionist looked at Zhang Lang's form: "Your name is... hunter, and your chosen profession is remote.
Under the category...Archer?"
Zhang Lang nodded: "Can I take the mission now?"
"Wait a moment..." The girl took several other sets of procedures and asked Zhang Lang to sign them one by one. After pressing his fingerprints, he smiled and said: "Now I need to make an adventurer badge for you. It will take about half an hour.
You can wait in the lobby first and I will call you then."
It's a bit troublesome... Zhang Lang looked at the time on the badge. He wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible to earn rewards, and he didn't want to waste a single second.
"If you feel bored, you can first check out the tasks on the bulletin board, or go to the bar to try the delicacies specially prepared for adventurers... The ingredients on Qiongluo Island are completely different from those on other continents. Most of the raw materials are taken from giant insects.
It’s very local and worth a try.”
The receptionist seemed to sense that Zhang Lang was a little impatient and reminded him kindly.
"Thank you..." Zhang Lang nodded: "By the way, after I become an adventurer, how can I reach...the Mad Dragon level as quickly as possible?"
"Crazy dragon level?" The girl answered patiently while handling the procedures in hand: "The levels of adventurers, from lowest to highest, are hound level, leopard level, violent bear level, tiger level, and mad dragon level.
Corresponding to five difficulty tasks: green, blue, yellow, red, and black."
"You have just registered. You should be at the hound level. Normally you need to do green or blue tasks, accumulate merit and slowly advance... But if you want to be the fastest, you will naturally complete the black difficulty task alone. This is enough to prove that you have the mad dragon
Super strength...but I don't recommend you to do this, it's too dangerous..."
"Is there any precedent before?" Zhang Lang continued to ask.
The receptionist smiled and nodded: "Yes, and coincidentally, he is also the adventurer I registered."
"It seems that you are a receptionist who can bring good luck." Zhang Lang nodded: "You are very attentive and have a good attitude. I also want to come to you for my future business. Can I ask your name?"
"My name is Murong Wei."
The beautiful receptionist smiled and replied: "I hope I can bring you good luck too."
