15 Chapter 14: Mission One

Grand Line, Saboundy Island, Mangrove Trees 13, Guild.

*Ring*

The entrance bell sounded and Rayleigh was seen walking into the guild in the same clothes as used by him before except that there was already a sword stored to the left of his waist. Ars, who was reading a book, immediately stopped his activities and immediately welcomed Rayleigh's arrival, "Welcome back. I guess, you're ready to start your adventure, aren't you?"

"Sure" Rayleigh grinned excitedly, "I can't wait to be able to start this new adventurer of mine. By the way, Ars. You didn't tell me that the ability to judge things can be done even if it's not in the dungeon"

"Ah, regarding that. I guess I forgot to explain it. I'm sorry" Ars smiled with an apologetic face, "Actually for the status panel issue. Although it is not in the dungeon, it can still be used. However, what can be used is only the object assessment function and also to bring up the status panel. As for other functions such as the storage function. As I explained before, it can't be used outside the dungeon"

"I was trying to use the storage function just now. I think what you said is not true. It turned out to be true. That function can't be used at all if it's not in the dungeon" Rayleigh paused and continued, "Oh, yes. Ars. I forgot to ask before. In the status panel, there is an icon that has an image of an animal. What does that mean?"

"Oh? Regarding it. Hmm, I guess it's also the part I forgot to explain to the two of them" Ars said scratching the back of his head embarrassedly, "That part itself is specifically for pets"

"Pet?" Rayleigh asked with interest.

"Every adventurer can later have a pet that they can make a partner to fight or as an ordinary friend. The pets themselves have no limits, adventurers can tame the monsters in the dungeon to be used as their pets. No matter the monsters with low or high levels of strength. As long as the monster is not the monster of the floor boss. They have a chance to be able to tame it"

"Hmm, it's really interesting" Rayleigh muttered softly while rubbing his chin, "How to tame the pet?"

"The trick is to use a binding item," Ars said calmly, "But this item itself cannot be obtained in Blacksmith and can only be obtained through mission rewards or rewards obtained through items dropped by monsters or out of a treasure box. As with other items, binding items have several levels that range from normal to mythical. The higher the quality level of the binding item, the more difficult it is also to obtain it. For binding items of normal quality, these items can usually only be used for monsters on the 30th floor and below. Each quality binding item will cover 30 floors and above the dungeon. Meanwhile, the myth class binding items only cover monsters on the 180th to 200th floors. Well, in the case of someone who has a legendary quality binding item then use it on a monster on the lower floor like for example the monster on the 100th floor. Automatically the monster will be directly tamed. However, of course, it would be a pity for binding items with legendary quality to be used on monsters that are at that level while these items can tame monsters on the 160th to 180th floors."

"Yes," Rayleigh nodded in agreement, "Only a fool would do such a thing. By the way, what if an adventurer later succeeds in disgusting an animal that has a very large body size and wants to take it out of the dungeon?"

"Later on when a monster has been successfully tamed and has become a pet. The monster will be able to change its form to be smaller. With its small size, even the monster can later sit on the shoulder of the master. Well, the size problem itself, it can be set for the site itself. Depending on the owner of the pet, you want the size of the monster how big or small. However, in the case of large sizes, the largest size can only reach a size that corresponds to the original size of the monster"

"I see" Rayleigh nodded.

"By the way, have you succeeded in getting help?" Ars asked with interest.

"Yes," Rayleigh nodded, "My help will come in less than 3 days from now. It will be two days from now at the earliest"

"Oh? Two days at the earliest. Hmm, you can use two days from now to upgrade your level" Ars said calmly, "If you want to upgrade your level quickly, my suggestion is to take some missions directly"

"What can that thing be done?" Rayleigh asked with eager eyes.

"Sure" Ars nodded, "However, you should also pay attention to how many missions you want to carry out, especially with the level you currently have"

"Do you have any suitable mission suggestions for me to take?" Rayleigh asked back.

"Suggestion? Hmm, you can take on two missions. Material gathering missions and also battle missions. This material collection mission is for you to learn about the materials and materials in this dungeon while for battle missions, you can start to adapt to your level of strength in the dungeon" Ars paused and continued, "This is the first mission if you can don't take too much on battle missions that are too difficult for you to do, especially you also need to adapt to your strength in the dungeon. Take the previous grisal plant collection mission and also the mission to hunt down an animal called horned cow"

"Horned cow?" Rayleigh asked, lifting his forehead.

"The horned cow is one of the monsters with the weakest level of strength. Usually, the level of strength they have is only at level 1 to level 5. Horned cows at the time of killing will later leave the meat of the animal or a bottle of milk. Usually, this kind of mission is issued by restaurants because of the need for these foodstuffs for them to use as their food ingredients. Sometimes some families book this mission if they want to have a party and others."

"I see" Rayleigh nodded.

"If you have completed these two missions then you are used to your power level in the dungeon. You can try to take on more difficult missions such as the elimination of the Goblin Camp or the elimination of the Bandit Camp around a village. With your fighting experience, although your strength is relatively weak for the time being. I don't think it's a problem for you to perform these two missions"

Rayleigh nodded, "In that case, I went first to take the mission. I have to come here again after getting that mission sheet, right?"

"Sure. That is to confirm that mission"

Rayleigh then walked straight toward the direction of the entrance gate of the dungeon.

Dungeon, 1st Floor, Atlantis City, City Park.

Rayleigh finally returned to the dungeon as he looked at the atmosphere of surrounding environment, "It seems that what Ars said is true. The time in this dungeon follows the time that exists in the outside world"

Simultaneously Rayleigh turned his gaze over his head and noticed a green crystal appearing above his head. The crystal is a crystal that indicates that someone is an adventurer and through the crystal, adventurers can also know whether the adventurer has committed a crime or not.

"Although I have come to this place twice. This is a very extraordinary place" Rayleigh muttered quietly, "A person who can create a place like this, Ars, that person, how strong is his strength..."

Rayleigh then shook his head and let go of the thought. Immediately he walked in the direction of the mission board that was in the area. Rayleigh did not immediately take the mission suggested by Ars to him but still looked at the types of missions that were there.

"Hmm? The mission of taking care of the baby? This... Isn't this kidding?" Rayleigh muttered with sweat dripping on his face.

For someone with a level of strength and status, it seems. If he took this mission, it was later discovered by the people. Rayleigh knew that his pride would be instantly destroyed especially if his Captain knew about this. The self-esteem possessed by Rayleigh will be instantly destroyed.

"Is it possible that this mission is devoted to adventurers who have no combat experience?" Rayleigh murmured back, "I think so, it will be difficult for adventurers who have no combat experience to perform missions directly out of the safe zone"

"Hmmm, the mission of being a maid in the restaurant? There are-there are just these missions" Rayleigh muttered back, shaking his head, "At least, I won't be able to take this type of mission. Impossible and it won't be possible" Rayleigh then directly picked up the mission sheet suggested by Ars earlier to him.

Two such missions.

Searched. Adventurers who can help to find Grisal greenery with a total of 100 units. There is no deadline for completion. Mission rewards 2 silver coins and 250 Exp points.

Searched. The adventurers who can help to get 10 kilograms of corned beef and 5 liters of cow's milk are contained. The deadline for completion is today. Mission rewards 4 silver coins and 500 Exp points.

"10 kilograms? How to measure the size of the beef?" Rayleigh muttered in confusion, "I think I need to ask Ars back about this"

Rayleigh immediately walked out of the dungeon using the exit portal.

Guild.

"It took you a while to take on a mission" Ars immediately welcomed Rayleigh's arrival back, "Is there anything that catches your eye?"

"Yes" Rayleigh nodded, "I don't deny that there is a mission related to domestic affairs"

"Those missions are devoted to adventurers who have no combat experience. That mission can help increase the power they have. In the meantime, they can go to the training ground to learn fighting techniques"

"Training ground?" Rayleigh asked with interest.

"In the dungeon, there is such a thing as a training ground. Later, adventurers will be taught swordsmanship and other. Although it is only a basic ability, however, it is enough for their capital. Adventurers who want to study there have to pay a certain amount of money to get training" Ars said calmly, "Well, in the case of people like you. It's not a problem to come there. You can also learn or not challenge the coach there. Every trainer there has a very terrifying combat power. However, if you want to challenge them, their strength will later be equated with the strength you have. As long as you can win a battle with the trainer. You have a chance to be able to get a high-level sword skill"

"High-level sword skills?" Rayleigh asked with interest, "How strong is the swordsmanship skill?"

"Hmmm, just say it. Those sword skills already include S-level sword skills" Ars said calmly, "If you use those swording skills in this world. You will hold the title of the best swordsman in the world. At present, if I estimate that the best swordsmanship skills in this world have only reached the A level"

"Oh? It's very interesting" Rayleigh muttered with a grin.

His interest became higher and higher hearing this.

"Before you think about it. You'd better focus on completing your current tasks and also improve your abilities. If you want to challenge the coaches there, you also need money to pay for it. At least for each challenge, it takes 1 gold coin to do it. The price itself will increase with the power you have. Collect your money first and then challenge the coach there"

Rayleigh nodded and put away his wish as he handed over the sheet of mission paper he had just taken before.

"Oh, yes. Ars. How to measure the size of this beef? How much meat can be obtained by killing 1 Horned cow?" Rayleigh asked.

"Each killed cow will spend 1 kilogram of meat or 1 liter of milk. If you lock up, later you only need to kill 15 cows in the match. Meanwhile, if you are unlucky, you will have to kill more. After all, the goods dropped by the monsters at the time they died were random"

*Ding!*

Instantly two blue panels appeared beside the left direction of view from Rayleigh with a small blue shape. Besides the blue icon, there is a note about the mission received by Rayleigh.

"What is this?" Rayleigh asked in confusion while looking at the blue panel.

"It was the information panel of the mission you performed" Ars immediately replied to him, "You can use the panel to choose which mission you want to complete first. You just need to press one of the panels where you want to complete the mission, later when you enter the dungeon. An arrow will appear that will take you to the place where the mission giver is given. Meanwhile, if you want to change the mission priority, you can simply press the other one. Later the direction of the arrow will turn into the location of the other mission givers"

"I see" Rayleigh nodded.

"Well, you can already go to carry out this mission. This mission giver already knows that you have claimed this mission. You just come to that place and just say your name. They will know right away that you are the one"

"There is also such a mechanism? It's very incredible" Rayleigh said with great amazement, "Then I'm leaving first"

"Good luck and quickly complete this mission. It would be a shame for your classmates to have to complete this mission for a long time"

"Hahaha, I will make an effort"

Rayleigh excitedly his adventurous spirit immediately stepped his kai into the dungeon again.
