Goblin Dependency-Chapter 281 - 150 Conditions and Contingencies

Professionals.

For ordinary civilians who are unlikely to ever come into contact with any Extraordinary Power in their lifetime, it seems there’s no clear distinction from ordinary adventurers.

They both wear heavy and expensive armor, battle and slay dangerous demons, and earn a substantial income that would take years for them to earn otherwise.

Only occasionally when seeing those high and mighty adventurers, who seemingly don’t even care about the Knight Masters within the castles, with expressions of envy and awe at the mention of related words.

Do they vaguely perceive the difference between the two.

And when they cast away the hoe and pick up the Longsword, facing the warm rush of air from the demons’ roars at close range, feeling the sticky touch of blood trickling down their cheeks.

Watching as their daily companions are torn to pieces by monsters, exchanging hard-earned Gold Coins for expensive alcohol to numb their nerves.

Then they finally understand what "professionals" truly mean.

Compared to the uncertainties of low level adventurers.

At least for the vast majority of organizations on the Aifala Continent, when a person obtains a Professional Level, their increase in strength is the most insignificant aspect.

More crucially, it’s achieving a breakthrough on the Transcendent path from "0" to "1".

In some sense, becoming a professional, even at just the basic Level 1, signifies a relatively stable and attainable bright future.

Indeed possessing value for nurturing.

The adventurer association, as an enormous entity that spans the entire continent, with a power radiating scope so extensive it’s considered exaggerated.

Its unique organizational nature inherently attracts masses of adventurers.

And for those among them who are exceptionally talented, or simply lucky, obtaining a Professional Level.

The association will also provide certain encouragement and support.

"Advanced practical combat skills, Alchemy Potions of excellent quality at low prices, secret intelligence that is difficult to obtain in general circumstances, and even precious Magic Equipment..."

"Upon achieving a Professional Level as an association member, the respective exchange channels will be provided to you as a benefit."

The receptionist "Moli", with short golden hair, stated earnestly.

At this moment, the girl, who always seemed listless and as if every second at work was incredibly exhausting, stood straight, with unprecedented vigor, showing not a trace of weariness.

It seemed as if she had transformed into a different person, introducing Xia Nan to the generous treatments offered by the adventurer association after becoming a professional.

The location where the two were seated was no longer the crowded association hall.

Instead, they were in a quiet room inside the building, similar to a small conference room.

As for her original duty work, it had already been temporarily taken over by other staff members who’d been called in.

Xia Nan sat across the table, thoughts swirling.

It was pretty much what he had previously speculated.

For adventurers like himself who have just acquired a Professional Level, the association would not directly provide a large amount of resources.

But provide a clear path for advancement.

It makes sense.

After all, given the scale of the adventurer association, influenced by its own faction and operation methods, unlike other medium and small organizations, it does not urgently need combat power supplementation.

Therefore, there’s no necessity to enhance attractiveness through welfare benefits.

The words "adventurer association", along with the significance it represents, are already sufficient.

Of course, similarly, although the association does not offer much direct reward to professionals, it also doesn’t impose many restrictions.

It won’t dictate whom you must oppose, what things you cannot do, or force you to kneel and salute upon meeting certain people.

In some respects, it’s more like a "platform".

Adventurers earn Gold Coins, combat skills, and career advancement paths through tasks released by the association;

The association expands and increases its influence through countless adventurers under its umbrella.

"Rest assured, it’s not the kind of deep binding that requires you to sign contracts or make vows."

Seeing Xia Nan sitting quietly without speaking, Moli quickly added, fearing she hadn’t clarified, leading to a misunderstanding by the other party.

"The benefits I previously mentioned, as long as you can meet the conditions required for exchange, are all provided free of charge to professionals in the association."

After all, in most cases, a high-level professional having multiple identities at different levels simultaneously is entirely normal.

A legendary adventurer renowned across the continent might also be a fervent devotee of a Divine, holding a key position in the Church, and still be a member of a fishing enthusiast club.

Being the most famous neutral organization on the continent, the adventurer association does not impose any constraints on the professionals within, often serving merely as a minor detail in the background.

The association itself even maintains cooperative relations with many organizations from different factions.

To give a simple example, the "Hunting Day" that just concluded a few days ago, where the bounty for goblins was raised to 5 silver coins each, funded by the Sevia Kingdom.

Many high-level individuals within the Kingdom are actually from the association.

In their youth, they also hunted goblins in the Mist Forest, earning two or three Gold Coins, bragging and chatting in the taverns of River Valley Town.

And even so, it doesn’t affect them, after growing through association resources, joining the Kingdom faction as their strength and ideas develop, even arguing incessantly with the association’s division leadership over cooperation terms.

The more you want, the more restrictions there are, the more stringent the conditions.
