It was pretty expensive to get an adventure card. I wonder if adventures would have to spend their life savings just to get them.
I got five giant silver coins from my pocket and gave them to the female receptionist. She then gave me a form that needed my signature.
"Please sign this paper." Reading the paper, I wrote only my first name.
"Could my friend also get one?" If a situation had happened where we both couldn't come together, I would like her to get one also.
Giving another five giant silver coins to the receptionist lady, she gave us another form of paper. Olivia then wrote her name, took the paper, and got a device.
"I will take a photo of you for your card. Could one of you stand toward the whiteboard?" I was closer, so I stood on it first.
The receptionist then flashed her device at me. "If possible, could you please smile?" I stared at her in silence. She sighed and took another picture, prompting me that I was finished.
It was Olivia's turn, and unlike me, she could easily make a smile for the camera. With all that done, the receptionist went to the back of the room and exited, giving us an adventure card.
Looking at our cards, it was just cheap plastic card showing us our "identity." It had our picture and our rank.
"Would the two of you like a short explanation of what each ranking does?" Since we were already here, it was better if we already did.
"If you could please do so." Olivia had answered for me.
"There are five ranks of an adventurer. Starting at the bottom with both of your ranks is bronze. Once you have enough achievements, you would be at the rank of silver." I wanted to ask how they would record these achievements, but I will do it after her explanation.
"After silver would be gold. You won't have to worry about these ranks until you reach them. After gold is platinum, and at the top would be diamond." They were surprisingly basic, something straightforward to remember.
"How do the guild record these "achievements."
"Do you see your adventure cards? The price is high because of the material we use. They were specially made for technologies that could scan them.
"So what happens if we lose them?"
"You would have to start over again and buy another one." ... What an easy way to earn some money.
"What if someone impersonates someone using their card?" It didn't seem complicated for people to do so.
"If caught, you would be arrested." I don't think I would do that, so I'm fine.
"Would both of you like to sell your items?" We were initially here for that, so I would like her to hurry with it.
"Yes, please."
"Then follow me,"
The receptionist took us to a room that had a large table. Taking out everything I had earned, I put everything on the table.
Most of the items I had earned were cores from the monsters I had hunted. A few monsters dropped their material, but I was most excited about the artifacts.
The female receptionist began calculating the prices using a scale. The number of monster cores that I had farmed was a lot. It was pretty heavy, by the looks of it. Coupled with the fact that the materials were in there.
It took a while for the pricing to be done, "Everything that you're selling would be thirty gold in total." I had no complaint with that much I have made. Olivia was also happy that we earned a lot.
Taking the thirty gold, "Could we check out our artifacts?" We had earned five artifacts during our adventures. It would be nice if they were worth many coins.
Giving the receptionist the five artifacts, she began to appraise their worth. The knife from the first floor was the first to be appraised. I didn't have much hope for it, seeing that it was from the first floor.
The following two artifacts were from the fifth and sixth floors. On the fifth floor was a carrot monster that dropped a carrot ring.
Having to beat the sixth-floor boss was a praying mantis, and it dropped a saber. It was a weapon, so the price skyrocketed just because of it.
The other two were from the ninth and eleventh floors. The ninth floor provided us with a leather shoe from a ram.
While the eleventh floor gave us an artifact, I couldn't tell what it did. It was just a jar filled with honey, it may be a recovery item, but I couldn't fully tell what it was.
It didn't take long for the appraisal machine to finish. Our dagger only boosted its sharpness to a high degree, making it easier to pierce things.
The carrot ring improved magic on any vegetation-based magic which Olivia could use. "Olivia, do you want it?" While she could use it, its effects didn't help much.
She shook her head and denied it. The design was cute. I thought it was something that she wanted.
Our praying mantis saber could pierce through things, an upgrade to the dagger we got from the rabbit.
The leather boots have a speed boost and an additional speed boost for charging in a straight line.
And finally, the final artifact that we got was pretty unique. It was a honey jar that could recover your stamina. Not only that, it was refillable every day.
This was something that I would never sell. Even if I had Olivia, there was always a chance that we would get separated.
"We will sell only these four items." The receptionist was disappointed that we kept the jar, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Then these four artifacts would sell for 25 gold coins." It was less than the materials we got, but I could understand seeing the effects of these items. They weren't so great.
"Goodbye! Have a nice day!" She bid us a farewell as we did the same. The both of us left the room, then leaving the guild's building.
