Chapter 679: Chapter 351: Raising Money

The Adventurer’s Guild in Sword City was more like a large tavern. Adventurer teams came here to accept quests and recruit teammates at the same time.

Many individual adventurers were there drinking and waiting to be recruited, chatting about various topics.

Li Changhe and He Feng sat around a table. Their levels were not low, so they could hear the conversations of other adventurers and glean information from them.

For example, a team at the table next door complained that their team had previously had an elf mage and an elf ranger who were among the strongest in the team.

Unfortunately, when the elves collectively left, the team’s combat power was reduced, and the team’s overall strength declined. They did not even dare to accept quests casually.

"It’s been a month. I don’t know how he’s doing," someone lamented. "He hasn’t even sent a letter."

"It seems there was some accident in their hometown; even the humans working there have returned," said a muscular man with one eye. "I guess there must be some internal issue among the elves."

"It’s hard to imagine that their kind would have any internal disputes," someone scoffed. "Their birthrate is extremely low, so they cherish each other."

"Who knows? They are strictly forbidding outsiders from getting close now, and all the ships heading to the elf continent have ceased operating," the muscular man said. "Sigh, it took me so long to get close to them."

"Hahaha, captain, you finally said it. You have to think carefully. They are your great-grandmother’s generation," someone laughed.

"Get lost. I mean as teammates," the one-eyed man laughed and scolded. Then he added, "But you don’t have to be too anxious. According to the grapevine, many teams have encountered similar situations due to the elves’ irregular actions. So, the guild plans to send an investigation team soon, probably this month."

Li Changhe silently nodded, finally hearing some useful information.

However, it was not possible to wait for the investigation group. The Adventurer’s Guild must slowly gather a team. So, they needed to speed up the process.

Meanwhile, Wang He and others took the giant wolf’s head to claim their reward and ordered a very sumptuous feast.

Judging from the surprised glances of several adventurers at the adjacent tables, the cost of this meal must be quite high.

It was easy to understand - firstly, they wanted to repay the others for saving their lives.

Secondly, they regarded Li Changhe and others as high-level adventurers, and it would be beneficial to have a good relationship with high-level adventurers.

Just a few tips on combat skills would be a huge gain, let alone other aspects.

For example, the ranger had always wanted to chat with Li Changhe about archery, but Li Changhe didn’t know how to teach anyone.

His precise shots were simply due to being close enough and calculating the giant wolf’s trajectory.

Even without the Hawk Eye Magic Eye, Li Changhe could quickly calculate the actions of his opponents. This was the advantage of experience.

The giant wolf was dangerous for Wang He but not for Li Changhe. Calculating its course of action was not difficult.

As for archery skills, Li Changhe had not mastered any. His shots were just simply accurate.

He had not mastered any archery skills such as continuous arrows or multi-shot arrows. What could he teach? Perhaps Li Changhe could teach some time management skills if it were about working.

So, he could only give the ranger a piece of advice like "practice makes perfect." The idiom did not exist in this world, but the ranger still nodded thoughtfully.

While Wang He was chatting about various topics, the other players were discussing their plans in the [Friends] chat.

"What’s the plan you mentioned? I went to find out, and it turns out there are indeed ships capable of sailing long distances in this city. But the price is high. The gold we carry is not enough," Chen Yu said. "You can’t possibly earn that much in just two days, even if you are the Working Emperor."

Chen Yu just contacted some receptionists from the guild and learned the price of ships and the purchasing power of the currency in this world from them.

Chen Yu’s ability was Soul Code, which was especially useful when dealing with strangers.

During this period, since all ships heading to the elf continent were docked on the shore, there were quite a few people selling ships. However, they faced a major financial problem.

She and Jiangshan both brought a box of gold nuggets, which were meant to be consumed as funds during the mission.

In many worlds, gold was hard currency.

But in this world, gold was not too precious, and its purchasing power was not high.

After all, magic existed in this world, and those so-called Gold Essences and Mithrils were the ones that could be used.

Moreover, those ships were processed with some magic, and the prices were incredibly high.

So now, they lacked money.

If they had enough time, Li Changhe and others could sell some unused [Equipment] at the auction. There was magic in this world, so there were also magical items.

Equipment would not attract too much attention from the plot forces.

But time was running out. The auction here would not start until half a month later.

So, there were two options. Either turn into villains, steal a ship and run, but this would result in pursuit by plot forces and cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, those capable of crossing the ocean were large ships; five people alone would not be able to control them. This idea was not feasible.

The second option was to work hard to make money to fill the financial gap and buy a ship, as well as a group of experienced sailors and a captain.

But the financial gap was huge, and Chen Yu thought that no matter how hard Li Changhe worked, he could not fill the gap in a few days.

"The gold we brought is only worth about twenty Gold Essences. A fully equipped big ship would cost at least a hundred. This does not even include hiring sailors. The whole package would probably cost around 110 pieces," Chen Yu said. "How to make up for the financial gap?"

"This is the Adventurer’s Guild, and each of us is comparable to Gold or even Platinum Level adventurers," Li Changhe replied.

"I know, but as outsiders, we need to be prepared with some information and materials to become adventurers," Chen Yu said. "Give me one day."

Becoming an adventurer and earning money through quest rewards was indeed one way to raise funds. However, there might not be enough time for it.

They had to know that it took three days and two nights to get to the elf continent, and seven hours had already passed. Time was not on their side.

"Hmm, you can tell that you’ve never worked before. Have you heard of acting on someone’s behalf?" Li Changhe laughed.

Then he looked at Wang He, who was about to strike up a conversation, and said, "Do you guys from Dawn’s Hammer want to improve your levels?"

Wang He was stunned and nodded subconsciously, saying, "Of course, that’s the ultimate dream of every adventurer."

The higher the level, the better the treatment.

Many Silver and Gold Level adventurer teams even had noble sponsorship.

Some had even become secret trump cards for certain countries.

Who wouldn’t want to level up?

"Coincidentally, we urgently need a large amount of money, but we can’t reveal our identities," He Feng added. "As you know, adventurers of our level often have to undertake secret missions."

"You mean..."
