Chapter 5 is all?
Following the black cat's guidance, Otto pushed open the door in front of him.
The hall of the Adventurers' Guild was filled with the smells of cheap ale, leather, rust, and even a faint stench of blood!
"Is this the Adventurers' Guild?"
Otto entered the hall, but at that moment, at least a dozen pairs of eyes turned to him.
Seeing this, and with Lance's reminder, Otto didn't care much.
This is probably how it always looks when a new person walks in.
Experienced players, like wolves that have smelled blood, will scrutinize newcomers from head to toe, assessing their worth.
Otto ignored the stares and walked straight to the counter at the end of the hall.
His leather boots made a slow, deliberate sound as he approached the counter.
However, five of the six counters in the hall were crowded with people. To save time, Otto immediately went to the counter where there was no queue.
Otto was greeted by a woman with a cold expression.
Otto couldn't estimate the other person's age, only that he was around twenty-five.
The other person had their blond hair tied up high, revealing a sharp jawline.
Although her features could be described as those of a beauty, she was by no means the kind of pretty face that is merely decorative; rather, she possessed an incredibly sharp and piercing quality.
High brow bones, a straight nose, and thin, pursed lips, as if he were constantly enduring being asked some foolish question.
She was wearing a well-tailored dark uniform with the cuffs pulled up close.
However, Otto noticed that a thin silver chain was still tied around her right wrist, with a worn-out circular emblem hanging from the end of the chain.
However, the woman had no intention of showing the emblem; she simply took out some papers and asked indifferently.
What kind of service do you need?
The woman's voice was not high-pitched, but it was very powerful.
With each movement, the guild uniform clung tightly to the other person's figure, outlining a beautiful and alluring curve.
But unlike the beautiful scenery, Otto noticed something unusual: the adventurers around him unconsciously took a few steps back the moment the woman spoke.
"Could it be that I made a terrible choice?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting awkward, Otto quickly explained his purpose.
"Register as an adventurer and apply for a priest for Lot Village."
Upon hearing this, the woman finally raised her head and met Otto's gaze.
Those emerald green eyes were the color of something found only in a deep forest.
Combined with the woman's icy aura, it only made her seem more profound.
However, after hearing Otto's words, the woman's icy expression softened considerably, and she proceeded to organize the documents for Otto in a methodical manner.
"You will need to provide proof of identity and undergo some skills and practical tests."
After passing the test, you will become a formal adventurer.
Regarding your request, we will try our best to post it.
Upon hearing this, Otto immediately showed the woman the bearskin he was wearing.
"This is the one-eyed bear that escaped the adventurers' attack last year. Village Chief Lance should have also written about this on the parchment. I hunted it."
If possible, Otto was unwilling to miss any opportunity to secure resources, and he would naturally showcase as much as possible what he could.
Upon hearing Otto's words, mocking laughter erupted from a table in the corner of the hall.
The laughter was so loud, it was almost as if it were deliberately trying to attract Otto's attention.
Otto turned his head and saw a very large man leaning against the bar, his arms crossed, his leather armor on his chest exposed, revealing thick chest hair and a necklace of inherited beast teeth.
Standing next to him was a companion dressed similarly, Maodou, who was looking at Otto with an expression of anticipation.
"Is it the little bear that ran away last time?"
I just thought it was too much trouble, so I didn't follow up.
You're actually showing off this as an achievement?
As the man spoke, a few scattered laughs rang out around him.
The experienced adventurers had already pulled the table aside, waiting to see what would happen.
This kind of person is all too common in the Adventurers' Guild.
After working for two or three years and taking on a few decent projects without suffering any major setbacks, I started to feel that I had the right to show off in front of newcomers.
They call this "giving newcomers their first lesson".
But actually, I just wanted to have some fun on a boring afternoon.
Otto neither spoke nor acted immediately, but patiently watched his "animal friends" make a ruckus.
The brown bear's eyes gleamed with ferocity, poised to pounce!
The eagle accepted the provocation and loudly encouraged its companions.
The white dog raised its head, declaring, "We will win!"
The monkey squinted, sensing something amiss; this man was an extraordinary professional!
The wisdom of monkeys brings you information about extraordinary professionals.
[Tier 1 - Transcendent: Boxer (1/3)]
Upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, it provides the employee with three attribute points, enhancing Strength, Stamina, and Spirit respectively.
[Inauguration Ceremony: You can assume the position after winning more than ten provocations you initiate by defeating your opponent with your fists.]
The monkey's assessment of this extraordinary profession was: "Worse than that woman, rubbish."
Otto was momentarily stunned upon seeing such a comment.
Is the boost from extraordinary professions a bit too weak?
You should know that just equipping the Bloodline Mark can give you a six-point attribute boost!
He's actually verified just how powerful the attribute point boost is these past few days!
But Otto soon noticed something was wrong.
"That woman also possesses an extraordinary skill, and she's even stronger than this man; even a monkey couldn't figure out her background!"
Otto boldly speculated that there was also a power imbalance among the so-called first-order transcendent beings.
A weak extraordinary profession can offer limited help, but a powerful extraordinary profession is a different story.
"It seems we'll need to gather more intelligence on this in the future."
As Otto pondered this, he filled out the adventurer's registration form.
After filling out the form, he turned around and immediately walked towards the man.
Gradually, the laughter in the hall subsided.
The experienced adventurer put down his wine glass, took out his money bag, and prepared to gamble with his companions.
Some kind-hearted people reminded Otto that the other party was a superhuman and there was no need to bother with him.
Even the big guy took out drinks from the counter, ready to watch Otto make a fool of himself.
The big guy had already decided that if the kid could take a beating, he might consider adding him to his team.
"There are too few adventurers with guts these days."
Large teams need manpower, preferably novices who are easy to command.
But despite his provocations for several days, few men with any backbone dared to challenge him.
Therefore, Otto's mere courage to come over was enough to impress him.
Not to mention that the other party hunted down the one-eyed bear that had escaped from his grasp, which could be considered a sign of fate.
"You still..."
Before the big guy could finish speaking, Otto's fist came crashing down!
