Half a month has passed since that newspaper was published.

Before long, winter will come to an end.

To gather the materials necessary for preparing a Spirit Resistance Potion, Yang Yu and his team traveled to many places.

Along the way, they visited quite a few adventurer's guilds, where Yang Yu had Iyas and He Meng complete their registrations, making them Quasi-S Class adventurers.

Initially, Yang Yu and his team only intended to operate as a small team and register as an adventure group once the war between the two nations ended, gradually advancing to S-Class to connect with the rest of the world.

But plans often change unexpectedly.

A crucial ingredient, a herb known as "Silver Crystal Grass," was already out of stock.

After some inquiries, Yang Yu found that the herb originated in Sailuoke.

According to the local pharmacist, due to demons rampaging in the Ghostly Cold Forest, they could no longer collect the herbs, so they were currently recruiting reliable adventure groups to clear out the demons near the herbs to ensure safe harvesting.

Originally, Yang Yu wanted to demonstrate his strength to gain the pharmacy's trust and privately take on this task.

However, at this critical moment, showcasing too much strength without a "legal status" might attract investigations.

After careful consideration, Yang Yu decided to accept the task through proper channels.

To accept this task, the team members naturally needed to solidify their roles and officially register as a recognized adventure group.

Before the formal registration, Yang Yu had already learned a lot about the registration requirements through various channels.

First, to register as an adventure group, the team had to complete more than ten different types of tasks with the same members.

On that front, Yang Yu and his team had already achieved this along the way.

Then came the current stage of testing overall strength, which required mutual contact; the Crystal Ball would estimate the group's overall strength, ranging from D-Class to Quasi-S-Class.

Typically, newly registered adventure groups wouldn't be classified as S-Class adventure groups, even if everyone reached the S-Class adventurer's level.

The transition from Quasi-S-Class to S-Class involved many complex promotion rules.

One essential condition was to independently clear a large underground maze.

Precisely because a newly registered adventure group's top level only reached Quasi-S-Class that, even if it caused a sensation, it remained within a manageable scope; thus, Yang Yu confidently led his team to register as an adventure group at the adventurer guild.

However, to Yang Yu's surprise, just after completing the test with his team, he saw the face of the lovely adventurer guild receptionist change slightly before reaching the final combat stage.

The receptionist did not show any negative emotions but was trying hard to contain her excitement and joy.

"Sir, could you and your adventurer team please step into the VIP room for a brief talk?"

This sentence instantly alerted Yang Yu, and countless possibilities quickly flashed through his mind.

Considering this was the adventurer guild, Yang Yu responded extremely calmly:

"No problem."

Despite saying this, Yang Yu was already prepared to forcibly break out if anything unexpected happened during the discussion.

As they entered the VIP room with the receptionist, a soundproof barrier immediately enveloped Yang Yu and his team.

The receptionist could no longer hold back her smile, her face blossoming into a wide grin as she said:

"My name is Glarona. On behalf of the Sailuoke Adventurer Guild, I greet you all. To think you're so young yet possess such formidable strength."

Unaware of what the other party referred to, Yang Yu cautiously asked:

"This is our first time at this adventurer guild.

We are meeting for the first time; it's impossible to invite us to the VIP room with such respect without reason...

Could you tell me why you're doing this?

Is it because we're about to become a Quasi-S-Class adventure group?"

Glarona shook her head. "With your strength, it's surely more than that. I'll be straightforward. You and your team already have the aptitude to become an S-Class adventure group. You can register as an S-Class adventure group right away."

Yang Yu paused with a gesture: "Wait a moment. Isn't it true that registering as an adventure group maxes out at Quasi-S-Class? As far as I know, becoming an S-Class adventure group involves quite a bit of complicated work."

Glarona didn't deny it; she smiled and said, "That's correct."

Yang Yu, serious-faced without a hint of joy, said, "Then why are you saying we can already become an S-Class adventure group?"

Glarona smiled mysteriously and said, "Because you are special.

Trying to hide it is futile, sir.

I've already looked at your data; you bear a special mark. You, sir, and the three ladies have participated in three Super Large Maze clearings, and the demon behind you has participated in two.

The Special Management Committee for adventurers holds talents like you in high regard and has already issued a special permit. As soon as you register as an adventure group, you can be directly promoted to an S-Class adventure group."

"..."

Three times?

Yang Yu quickly recalled the Super Large Mazes they had cleared; he remembered strategies involving the halls of Wisdom, Magic, Courage, and Strength.

Clearly, he had participated in four Super Large Maze strategies, so why did Glarona say three?

Could it be that because the "Magic Hall" wasn't repaired, it wasn't counted?

How did the giant dragon discern it was us who cleared the Underground Maze?

After clearing a maze, a special Teleportation Array would transport people out, and did the giant dragons determine whether a maze was cleared and identify the personnel based on that Teleportation Array?

After much thought, Yang Yu felt that this situation was the most plausible.

Unexpectedly, the giant dragons possessed such abilities; he truly underestimated.

He originally intended to take it easy with a Quasi-S-Class adventure group, and unexpectedly climbed straight to S-Class.....

Though his heart was flooded with surprise, Yang Yu regained his composure and said:

"How can you know this so clearly?"

"Let me tell you a not-so-secret secret: in all adventurer guilds, there are staff affiliated with the Adventure Guild Headquarters under the giant dragons.

You don't need to know how exactly I got this information.

What you need to know is that you are now eligible to become an S-Class adventure group.

It's been many years since a wild S-Class adventure group has appeared.

The last time I saw one was ten years ago."

Wild.....quite a unique adjective.

Speaking of which, there were previously some hereditary S-Class adventure groups existing, and to maintain their honor, they had to periodically clear large mazes.

Regardless of whether Yang Yu was contemplating, Glarona just continued saying what she wanted to:

"Please make sure to register as an S-Class adventure group with me."
