"Just finding the target completes an Iron Level quest?" someone asked incredulously, as if talking to themselves.
The rest of the people in the guild hall wore similar expressions.
These included tasks like finding young dragons, stealing dragon eggs from the Dragon Nest, or searching the seas for a mermaid missing for a thousand years, each involving significant risks, yet these tasks were only Fourth or Fifth Level.
Even then, you had to bring back the young dragon, dragon eggs, or the mermaid.
But now, all you needed to do was find "Human Immortal Li Qianxia" to complete the quest, an Iron Level quest.
"Indeed," confirmed the female attendant.
No matter how incredible it seemed, no one questioned the words of the guild's female attendant, and she quickly posted the quest sheet on the wall in the tasks column.
A crowd surged forward instantly.
[Quest: Repel the Earth Alliance, close the teleportation gate]
[Challenge level: Iron]
[Team requirement: None]
[Mission intelligence: The civilizations of Liya World are being scrutinized by the countries of Earth, which are currently organizing an alliance for a full-scale attack]
[Success condition: Drive the Earth Alliance out of Liya World, completely close the teleportation gate]
[Reward: 10,000 Adventure Coins, one Iron Level quest]
"There are no team requirements! Even we newcomers can join!"
"Since it's an alliance against us, we'd better form a coalition too. I heard Erta Kingdom is recruiting adventurers to conquer Earth; maybe we should give that a try," one suggested.
"Together!"
"Just by participating in the operation, we can get 10,000 Adventure Coins and complete an Iron Level quest!"
"Look at the second quest!"
[Quest: Find Human Immortal Li Qianxia]
[Challenge level: Iron]
[Team requirement: Fifth Level Adventure Team (with over half the members being Fifth Level adventurers)]
[Mission intelligence: To verify whether there are masters in Liya World that need to be on guard, Earth's Human Immortal Li Qianxia has secretly entered our world and is gathering information about it (Note: Human Immortal equals Iron Level adventurer in our world)]
[Success condition: Locate Human Immortal Li Qianxia and obtain evidence confirming her identity]
[Reward: 100,000 Adventure Coins, one Iron Level quest]
"Iron Level adventurer?!" gasps of surprise echoed inside the adventure guild.
For Earth players, the title "Human Immortal" wasn't as impressive as "Iron Level," which, despite sounding like worthless metal, had an impact in the culturally different Liya World akin to the Earth people encountering a deity.
"The beast that wrecked Carl City was possibly just a Fifth Level adventurer."
"I've seen a Fourth Level adventurer in action; with a swing of his sword, he cut down every tree in a forest."
"The task just requires finding her and having evidence to prove it's her, so it should still be easy for a Fifth Level adventure team."
"Easy or not, Fifth Level adventure teams won't pass up this opportunity! Only by completing three Iron Level quests can Fifth Level adventurers get promoted."
"We can't take on the task of finding 'Human Immortal Li Qianxia', but 'Repelling the Earth Alliance' is possible. Shall we form a team? Let's head to Erta Kingdom!"
"Me!"
"I'll join too!"
In the guild, adventurers' emotions were high, spirits soaring, ready for a long expedition.
The same scene occurred simultaneously in various adventure guilds.
Endless streams of adventurers, like rivers flowing into the ocean, headed toward the Capital of Erta Kingdom.
"Would you ladies consider going to Erta Kingdom? If so, we could go together and watch out for each other on the way," a knight riding an Earth Dragon proposed as he strode over to Li Qianxia's table.
Li Qianxia was definitely going there.
Such a major task was bound to draw a crowd of masters; there was no better occasion to confirm if there was a Human Immortal Level among the Iron Level adventurers.
But not with him, she was in a hurry.
"Vire," a female mage in a black robe arrived from behind the knight, speaking in a displeased tone, "Nobody's stopping you from flirting, but if you saddle us with a few burdens, I'll give you a taste of what it's like to mate with an Earth Dragon."
The knight named 'Vire' shrugged.
Li Qianxia thought that, if not for his unattractive face, this gesture might have been quite dashing.
"Sorry," she showed just the right amount of apology (she was professional at turning people down), "we have an urgent task, and can't make it to Erta Kingdom."
"That's too bad," Vire bowed politely and turned away.
Watching his retreating figure, Li Qianxia said somewhat sympathetically to the others, "He's got a bit of a noble's etiquette and a mercenary's wanderer spirit, and he's strong too; if it weren't for his unfortunate looks, he'd definitely be popular with women."
"I didn't take you for one to prioritize looks," Zheng Qing couldn't help but say.
"No, it's just that looks must pass muster first; only then do we talk credentials," she replied.
"So, what kind of credentials do you think are good?" Beia asked curiously.
"Dong dong," Zheng Qing knocked twice on the table, "we are here to… do a task."
Beia and Li Qianxia exchanged glances, both stifling laughs.
As they finished their meal, the guild was nearly empty; a few maids with cat ears and tails were clearing tables.
"Excuse us, it's our first time in this town, could you tell us where we might buy a map of weapons, and also get equipment repaired?" Zheng Qing handed the brown-haired cat-girl five copper coins.
The cat-girl gave directions happily wagging her tail.
Li Qianxia almost couldn't resist reaching out to pet it.
Beia grabbed her hand and pulled her outside.
"I love cats the most, I even had one when I was little," Li Qianxia said wistfully.
The weapon shop was close, so they headed there first.
Not to buy weapons—they had no money for that, nor did they need them—but to see what kind of equipment was available in this otherworldly realm.
