975 Completing Quest

It took the group twelve hours to complete the quest. Each person had to collect twenty herbs; three quests meant they had to collect sixty herbs, so they needed six hundred herbs in total for all of them to complete the quest. The quest was not dangerous since they did not encounter any monster or beast, but the herbs grew scarcely, taking their time a lot. If Tang Shaoyang did not summon the spirit, they might not be able to complete the quest today.

Tang Shaoyang, Ava, and Liang Suyin kept their composure while Goldien was on high alert. As for the remaining six, they were tense because Murika was right before them. They stood in front of the closed gate. They tensed up because Tang Shaoyang told them that the people inside the town might ambush them or try to kill them once they were inside.

“Relax! Don’t be too tense, or you may make an obvious mistake at the key moment. No matter what happens, I will not let any of you die before my eyes,” Tang Shaoyang tried to make them less tense. If they were too tense, their movement was stiff, and stiff movement was predictable and easy to read, which was bad for them if a fight broke out.

Ava approached the gate and knocked on the door, “We are adventurers, returning from completing quests.”

The door opened as two men in plate armor came out of the door while Ava retreated next to Tang Shaoyang.

“They are the travelers,” One of the guards whispered to his friend.

The other guard nodded and opened the door fully, “Come in.” The guard did not ask the group anything.

The guard’s action doubted Tang Shaoyang a little bit. The Guild Master might say something to the guard, ‘I don’t see anything too with my Spirit Eyes,’ he scanned the town, especially around the gate and wall. There was no ambush or people with weapons waiting for them. He scanned all the houses near the wall, no ambush. He scanned further through the Spirit Eye. He did not see anything to ambush. What greeted his spirit Eyes was the nightlife of Murika.

Tang Shaoyang nodded and entered the town, following the road to the Adventurer Guild. They had to return to the guild to complete the quest, and he kept his Spirit Eyes open, observing the town from the top. It was a safe trip, and the townspeople were friendly toward him, waving their hands at them as they walked by. Some of them even offered them dinner.

.....

Tang Shaoyang did not lower his guard despite that display. He should be fine even with the ambush, but not with his people. Liang Suyin, Ava, and Goldien might be fine, but the remainder were around level 900 to level 980, close to Epic Rank but far weaker than the real Epic Rank. They were his concern if there was an ambush waiting for them.

The group entered the guild, and the crowd of adventurers was still inside, chattering while drinking. The guild was not the place where they received the quest but functioned like a bar as well. The group became the center of attention once again. The chatter stopped as they followed the group’s movement.

Tang Shaoyang did not sense malice from these adventurers. His Dragon Sense did not go off from danger or the incoming danger, meaning no ambush. This was what the Adventurer Guild looked like at night. He stopped when he was three meters away from the counter as he sensed the malice. It came from a direction, the stair.

Russo stared at them coldly. Tang Shaoyang was relieved it was just that man. He arrived at the counter with a different female clerk in the afternoon. Ava always stepped up first when he was about to say something, “Hello, we have completed our quests. Do we give the herbs directly to you?” The former Elven Queen smiled.

The female attendant was dozing off at the breathtaking smile and snapped out when she heard the last part, “Ah, yes. I will receive the herb, then I will send the herb for appraisal. Depending on the herb’s condition, you may get a bonus as commission.”

Ava nodded and signaled to one of the elves to come over. The elf named Karian took out all the herbs they had collected today, 600 pieces of three different herbs. The big stack caught the female clerk off guard. She expected twenty pieces. What puzzled her even more, there were three different types of herbs right before her. Collecting herb quests was for novices, for adventurers who just joined the guild.

The quest was not a test but a requirement; a way to help the alchemist in the town because people tended to ignore the gathering quest. The guild wanted to help the alchemist so the alchemist could keep producing the potion. And there was also a rule where Silver Rank and Copper Rank could only take one quest at one time. The three different herbs were proof that the group before her was a novice group. Meaning these people broke the rule of the guild.

‘What is the afternoon shift doing? How could they let the novice accept three quests at the same time? I will be in trouble…’ The female clerk thought of how not to get blamed for what the afternoon shift did.

“It seems you are not informed by your colleague that we are travelers. Mr. Harold said we can take three quests at once, and he said he would speak to Guild Master Rodin,” Tang Shaoyang sensed the hesitation from the female clerk and explained the situation, “Maybe you can ask the Guild Master for confirmation and proceed with our quests afterward?” f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋noѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

The female clerk was stunned for a moment when Tang Shaoyang revealed his identity, but she quickly snapped out of her trance, “Ah, right. Please wait a moment, Sir.”

She ran upstairs and returned again in less than a minute. She ran so fast as sweat started to fill her forehead. The female clerk wiped the sweat and smiled apologetically, “I am sorry. It seems my friend forgot to tell me about your party, Sir. Can I have your badge, Sir?”

Everyone placed the badges on the counter, and the female clerks swiftly took all the badges. There was a table with a device similar to a digital weighing scale on the back, and she put the badge on the left device. After that, she gathered the herb and put the herb onto the right device. The badge glowed as the herb disappeared, and at the same time, Tang Shaoyang received a notification.

“I see, so this is what Mayor Celap means that I will know he was not lying to us,”

[You have completed a quest!]

[Complete 99 more quests to clear the third floor of the Dimensional Tower!]

Not just him, the others also received the same notification. Four more notifications rang in his head as the female clerk finished her work. He exchanged glances with the others as they also realized that Mayor Celap did not lie.

“Here is your badge,” The female clerk placed the badge on the counter and offered her hand to Tang Shaoyang. He was confused for a moment before he realized why she offered her hand. He reached her hand, “Do you want to transfer all the reward to you, or….”

“Let me receive all the reward,” Tang Shaoyang cut off in the middle.

[Do you want to accept the transaction? Yes/No?]

[You have received 1.500 Game Coins from completing the quest!]
