All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents Chapter 35: Commission

It was precisely because of the unremarkable performance of most Mages that the profession, which seed ridiculously omnipotent on the surface, wasn’t actually chosen by that many people.

Lu Cang was still at the counter, standing slightly on his tiptoes to talk with Celia...

Before long, Lu Cang returned.

He was holding four commission slips.

"Celia said the last commission for a Tier Two Dungeon was just taken."

A commission couldn’t be issued to two teams at the sa ti.

Otherwise, it would be a ss to sort out the reward when settling the commission.

If one team started exploring a Dungeon but had to return midway to resupply, and another team happened to sneak in and defeat the final boss during that ti, it would be impossible to fairly assign credit for the quest.

Therefore, quests were only issued to one team. Whoever accepted the quest was the one who claid the reward.

Even if soone else cleared the Dungeon, as long as you held the quest, the reward was yours.

When that sort of thing happened, most Adventurers were actually happy about it. It was equivalent to getting paid for doing nothing.

"Huh?"

Ji Di, Zhou Er, and Gaidun were sitting together, waiting for Lu Cang’s next job.

On the way back, they had already agreed to earn another big score with Lu Cang.

If there were no Tier Two Dungeon commissions, it would be a problem.

After all, among Level 2 Adventurers, their strength was in the lower-middle ranks.

There was no way they would give up on such an easy way to make money.

Lu Cang said, "Celia asked if I wanted to take a Tier Three Dungeon quest."

"Or try hunting so Demons in the wild that have bounties on them."

Gaidun: "Hmm..."

"If it’s a Tier Three Dungeon, we really wouldn’t be much help."

’That’s true...’

If he were going to explore a Tier Three Dungeon, Lu Cang planned to recruit Level 3 adventurers anyway.

He had recruited these three out of caution.

The Demons in a Tier Two Dungeon posed no real threat to Lu Cang, and their recent adventure had just proven that.

The Demons could only be described as pathetically weak.

Lu Cang hired them as an insurance policy.

Lu Cang was worried about encountering an unknown danger or getting caught in so trap before he could react.

This was an Otherworld, and there was still so much he didn’t understand. Iz had also told him that Demons weren’t the only thing to watch out for when exploring a Dungeon.

One also had to be careful of traps, ambushes, and even certain things in Low Tier Dungeons that should absolutely not be touched.

It wasn’t unheard of for powerful Adventurers to die in Low Tier Dungeons.

There were even rumors of a powerful Elf Race Saintess who t her end in a Goblin Nest.

Lu Cang didn’t consider himself an experienced Adventurer yet and couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t get tripped up by sothing simple.

In any case, hiring three teammates for 60 Silver Coins greatly increased his margin for error.

It was like buying a safety line for 60 Silver Coins.

But if it was a Tier Three Dungeon...

Then the three of them were indeed not strong enough.

Lu Cang hired them to be his safety net, not just to have extra mouths to feed.

Could a Level 2 Defender block a Tier Three Demon?

In Lu Cang’s opinion, it was doubtful.

"I also think we should proceed step-by-step, so I accepted the commissions to hunt down Demons with bounties in the wild."

"Four of them in total."

’Demons with bounties in the wild...’

Demons didn’t just appear in Dungeons; traces of them could also be found outside of towns. When soone discovered these Demons and reported them to the guild, the guild would issue an "Investigation" type quest.

After the "Investigation" was verified, a "Subjugation" quest would be posted.

Of course, if you felt you could win while conducting the investigation, you could also complete the subjugation task on the spot.

However, sotis an Adventurer on an "Investigation" quest would be alone and unable to carry out the subjugation. The quest would then be posted at the guild for other Adventurers to accept.

Not all Demons were targeted for subjugation. Only those considered a significant threat, Tier Two or higher, would have a bounty placed on them by the guild for their subjugation.

If it was just a Sli on the side of the road or sothing...

There was no need to go to all that trouble.

The group looked at the commission slips Lu Cang had spread out on the table.

Zhou Er looked closely and said, "Three D-Level subjugation quests, all for Tier Two Lord Level Demons."

"And one C-Level subjugation quest for a Tier Three Lord."

"They’re all Lord Level."

But that made sense. Considering Lu Cang’s imnse strength, it was understandable that he would only take on Lord Level Demons.

It was risky for a team of Level 2 Adventurers to challenge a Tier Two Lord.

It wasn’t a guaranteed death sentence, but it definitely wasn’t safe. Hunting three in one day would lead to problems with recovery and supplies.

Most Adventurers’ injuries wouldn’t heal in half a day; it depended on how strong the team’s Healing Mage was.

Lu Cang’s childish voice didn’t sound like soone about to hunt Demon Lords.

"Yes, I want to give it a try."

"How do you think the strength of a Dungeon Lord compares to a Lord in the wild?"

Zhou Er, being the most experienced, answered, "Strength... Dungeon Lords are slightly stronger, but if I had to say, the difference isn’t that big."

Lu Cang nodded upon hearing his answer.

"Then let’s complete these remaining quests today."

"The loot is mine, and the three of you can split 48% of the commission rewards. How does that sound?"

The money was a secondary issue. Whether he gave them 10 more silver or 10 less didn’t really matter.

The four commissions totaled 4 gold in rewards, and the largest portion—half of it—ca from the Tier Three Demon.

He could earn several gold from a single dungeon run, so a dozen or so Silver Coins was nothing to worry about.

What Lu Cang was most concerned about was gauging the specific strength of different Demons.

Especially... that Tier Three Demon Lord.

If he could defeat it, it would prove he had the strength to venture into a Tier Three Dungeon.

Lu Cang wasn’t so reckless fool who thought that just because he had two Divine Talents, he could venture into a completely unfamiliar Dungeon without any knowledge.

Safety always ca first.

Acting only after careful consideration was Lu Cang’s principle.

"I... don’t have a problem with it," Ji Di replied.

After witnessing Lu Cang’s power, Ji Di was completely convinced he could take down a Tier Three Lord.

Even though she had never fought a Tier Three Lord herself.

The Fat Defender at the side was also nodding.

The older Collector scratched the back of his head. "Well... with the captain’s strength, it shouldn’t be a problem."

"In fact..."

The older man glanced at the commission slips.

’Eh, forget it.’

He had been about to say that their pay might be a little too generous.

But then he thought, ’Why complain about getting too much money?’

’This is fine.’

Seeing that a plan was set, Lu Cang smiled. "By the way, everyone..."

"I’ve co from a rather distant kingdom, so I’m not very familiar with the environnt here. There are so things I don’t quite understand, and I hope I can ask for your guidance."

Lu Cang flashed an innocent, childlike smile.

This made the older man pause for a mont.

’Oh, right... this incredibly powerful genius is still just a kid.’

After seeing Lu Cang’s imnse power, he had almost forgotten that he was just a child.

...

The subjugation of the Deceitful Snake Forest had taken less than two hours, round trip.

They had set out at 8 a.m., and now, as they set out again, it was only about 10:30 a.m.

None of them had ever experienced this level of efficiency in clearing a Dungeon before.

The four of them set off once more.

In the carriage, Lu Cang indirectly asked about things he had read in the Common Sense Book but didn’t fully understand and received their unique answers.

As expected, there was a huge gap between the knowledge from books and reality.

That Common Sense Book was a 20-year-old edition.

Over the past 20-odd years, Dungeons had beco much more dangerous.

The death rate for Adventurers in Sa Tier Dungeons had already reached 1%.

1% might not seem like much, but considering most Adventurers only earned 20 to 30 silver in a Tier Two Dungeon, if you thought about it in relative terms...

It was like gambling with a 1% chance of death for the equivalent of several hundred dollars on Earth...

’It really is a dangerous Profession.’
