Chapter 868: Chapter 870: I Almost Believed Myself
…
…
After a lengthy registration process, Yang Yu calmly walked out of the VIP room of the adventurer guild, though he wished he could cover his face with both hands and find a hole to crawl into.
ssed up.
ssed up, this ti undeniably ssed up.
Yang Yu never expected that the form was just for viewing, and the one actually filling it out was Glarona.
“Our adventure group has grand ambitions. The pinnacle of adventurers is not our ending point. Our ultimate goal is to be unconquerable by anyone and to instill fear in them.
Therefore, I propose our adventure group be nad….
[Demon King, Hero, if you dare, don’t run away].”
Originally, Yang Yu was just voicing his thoughts, coming up with the least possible na, expecting his comrades to brainstorm and eventually find a na truly belonging to their adventure group.
As a result, neither Bai Jin, Iyas, nor He ng reacted at all to his random naming, showing no objections, so Glarona filled in the na he casually ntioned.
The tricky part was, to change the na after it was put in required using a na-change opportunity.
Looking at his companions all wearing expressions of “so it’s settled,” Yang Yu felt an indescribable awkwardness.
By now, he couldn’t say, “That na was just random; my intention was to have you think of what this adventure group should be called instead.”
Faced with the choice of a frank confession or letting it slide, Yang Yu agonized for a long ti, eventually opting to let it slide.
After all, there’s still three months before the na of their adventure group would be exposed, during which he could do what he needed to do and slowly think of a new na.
The choice to let it slide also stemd from Yang Yu’s worry that Bai Jin and the others would think he hadn’t thought deeply due to this incident, leading to doubt over his future odd moves and affecting the entire plan.
The next phase will demand the utmost trust.
With his partners trusting him so much, he had to fabricate a reason for the na if necessary.
Clearing the shaful mory from his mind, Yang Yu tore off the task he wanted, had Glarona complete the paperwork, and hurried to the pharmacy.
Before leaving, Yang Yu took a final glance at Glarona, who waved enthusiastically at Yang Yu and his team, bidding them farewell.
Not long after leaving the adventurer guild, Bai Jin finally couldn’t suppress the curiosity inside and communicated with Yang Yu via telepathy: “Isn’t our… adventure group’s na a bit too ostentatious?
It looks vastly different from the nas of current S-Class adventure groups… especially, it’s very unique.
Moreover, using those two terms, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
Squeezing half of his face to stop his twitching mouth, Yang Yu seriously responded to Bai Jin’s telepathy:
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it.
We are, after all, a newly born S-Class adventure group with no fa in this world. If we don’t create so buzz, most S-Class adventure groups won’t pay us any mind.
They’d only think we’re so unknown upstarts not worth ntioning, unwilling to get to know us.
The na I ca up with might be flamboyant, but it would undeniably pique other S-Class adventurers’ interest, prompting them to actively look into us.
Obtaining so advanced equipnt isn’t sothing that can be done just with money.
You heard what Glarona just said; most S-Class adventure groups have substantial backgrounds and are sure to possess the equipnt we need.
Bartering sotis isn’t just bartering; it’s exchanging things for connections.
If we can make them spend the effort to learn about us, that’s already a success.
Once they recognize our strength, it won’t take much effort to exchange with them for what we need.
Our ti is running short.
Wasting one chance at naming to gain more ti is worth it.
I know this na can’t be used long-term either, we’ll change it again soti after it’s announced.”
Yang Yu’s reasoning was so convincing, it almost made him believe it too.
This hastily thought-up explanation successfully persuaded Bai Jin, who then used telepathy to convince the others.
Yang Yu couldn’t get over it in his heart, but at least he got by.
It wasn’t long after they left the adventurer guild that they t the pharmacy owner.
Upon learning that Yang Yu and his team had already been promoted to a Quasi-S-Class adventure group, the pharmacy owner changed his previous dismissive attitude and disclosed the situation around the Silver Crystal Grass to Yang Yu and his team.
Silver Crystal Grass is an extrely special herb, drastically different from other herb collection thods, needing to be uprooted entirely to ensure its potency.
An inexperienced gatherer without a safe collection environnt couldn’t possibly uproot Silver Crystal Grass intact.
The task Yang Yu and his team had to do was extrely simple, which was to clear all the demons in the vicinity before the official picking began, allowing the gatherers to harvest in peace.
The Silver Crystal Grass had been out of stock for a long ti.
In previous years at this ti, the pharmacy would have earned a fortune, but didn’t expect that this year, all capable adventurers headed north, leaving no one to clear the demons.
If this continues, forget about taking extra orders, they wouldn’t even complete the existing orders, definitely ending in massive loss.
The pharmacy owner was initially planning to lower the task requirents if no one took on the task…
Now upon seeing Yang Yu, it was as if he’d seen a savior.
Normally, two teams of A-Class adventurers would suffice, but Yang Yu and his team as a Quasi-S-Class would definitely be more than enough.
The pharmacy owner asked Yang Yu and his team about their situation, and upon hearing that they could set off imdiately, he imdiately organized personnel to head to the Ghostly Cold Forest.
And Yang Yu and his team planned to grab a al while the pharmacy prepared.
Just as Yang Yu dismounted from Lotcar, a shabby passerby suddenly stepped forward from the throng, reaching out to Yang Yu.
Yang Yu reacted swiftly, grasping the shabby man’s wrist before he could grab him.
A strong sll of alcohol wafted from the shabby man.
His face was pale, eyes deeply sunken, full of stubble, yet there was a glimr of light, a spark of hope, in his eyes.
Even as Yang Yu tightly held his wrist, the shabby man showed no signs of pain or flinching.
“Please… please… kill that thing for !
Only you can handle it, I… I am a useless man.
I couldn’t find anyone else, so I had to co and beg you.
Please… please, avenge them for .
What do you want? I’ll give you everything, even my life.
I beg you… please kill that thing.
I’m begging you…”
The man’s voice trembled intensely, tears involuntarily flowed from his eyes, his knees slightly bending as if about to kneel before Yang Yu.
But Yang Yu lifted him up by his arm, preventing him from kneeling, then pushed him forward, causing the man to sit down on the ground.
The light in the shabby man’s eyes vanished in an instant, leaving a lifeless look.
Yang Yu sighed heavily and said, “Sir, this is not how you ask for help.
This isn’t the place to talk either, shall we take it elsewhere?
Don’t be so vague, tell exactly what’s going on.”
