Chapter 687: The World Of Adventurers And Power Progression

Apparently Ogurr has a higher position in the Adventurer Guild of the Orange Forest Duchy, giving him a greater authority, so he's able to order things if he want to. He just forced Marie to even give Benladra an Adventurer License, so that means that he can even violate rules for us? I don't know if he was saying it as a joke or not, but Marie took it seriously and actually made a card for Benladann, putting that she "had a curse that made her look like a baby" as a quick excuse whenever somebody were to ask us weird things… And I think this is the perfect excuse, I would had never been able to think about something better.

Well, there were other alternatives, I was planning on using Illusion Magic to make her invisible to everyone except us, and bring her with us anyways, just people won't be able to see nor even heard her except us, convenient, right? My magic is in the level I can even do such a thing… However, her scales reflect magic, so I would need to spend a lot of time making some clothes that can give her full invisibility, and that would be certainly quite troublesome to make… A bit, I guess.

After that, we ended going back to the Adventurer Guild building with a flock of adventurers following us from behind, Marie decided to give us everyone a card, they were made way faster than in the Orange Village, and we were ready to go.

"F-Rank? Can't I be higher if I am stronger?" I wondered.

"No you need to make things to make us recognize you as a Rank higher. Although strength is something related to it, it is not something that will make you the top of the ranks. You need actions and other things, I have already explained it to you, I believe." Said Marie.

"Yeah, I guess you did." I said.

"Now, how about you try out some quest in the quest board? You can also enter the F-Rank Dungeons outside the duchy, the Slime Dungeon and he Goblin Nest, both are pretty good to gather materials to sell out, especially Mana Cores that can be processed into Mana Stones to be used for the creation of potions that increase the speed of cultivation so you can grow stronger." Said Marie.

I see, so people doesn't have potions that just instantly enhance cultivation but have potions that increase the speed in which a Mana core cultivates, is that so? Don't they have any other potions?

"Are there potions that increase cultivation directly upon consumption?" I wondered.

"Yeah, they're more expensive to make, F-Ranks cannot afford them even by working hard for over a year… You'll need to be stronger and gather higher ranked mana cores and materials to sell for more money, some specialized alchemist in our guild are willing to make potions of all types to other adventurers for a reduced fee." Said the girl.

"I see…"

So Cultivation Potions as I call them do exists, they're not my invention, sadly, but I can make them even stronger thanks to my Blood, which is an essential ingredient at making the Cultivation Potions as strong and amazing as they are! I guess we are still more unique in that regard, heh.

However, I can now understand better how the power progression of this world is, they slowly make up money, buy special potions or other items, and boost themselves, alongside equipment of course. I guess I am way too accustomed to worlds that have system crap on them from all the light novels I read where adventurers just level up by going through dungeons, but I guess I shouldn't be thinking about it like that. This is way more realistic "level up" which is slower and takes more dedication, time, and investment than just smacking some monsters and suddenly gaining stats.

Well, even my own System is not that unrealistic, I don't gain Levels by killing stuff, and I can gain Stats by eating Mana Cores, but at some point, I grow strong enough that low-ranked Mana Cores don't give me anything of value, and I've reached the point where only Rank 5 Mana Cores would ever make a difference in boosting my power, which reminds of something, I should go check that thing about the Mana Core Shops, I only saw people selling low-ranked ones. There is also some sort of Auction going on in this city, I also want to see what's up with that. But for now, Marie continued speaking to us about what Adventurers can do to start off as F-Rank.

"Well, and that's that, you can do all those things for now, you're very strong so I am sure you'll be able to easily clean the first floor or even second and third floor of the Slime Dungeon, that's the easiest, slimes are not smart like goblins so they don't set up traps or stuff, they're just very evasive and can melt things, so be careful." She said. "If you're bold enough, trying goblins is not so bad, but many newbies end up… dying when they go against them because they're well organized and can set up traps and do many nasty tricks, they often poison their weapons as well, so make sure to bring some antidote potions, or if you have any spell for that, that also helps… Goblins are dangerous, there is a guy named Goblin Butcherer that goes to kill Goblins as a daily or biweekly basis… He's a mysterious man, if you even encounter him, don't be intimidated, he's a good person that has saved many newbie lives before!"

"I-I see… Goblin Butcherer, huh? Why didn't he just named himself Goblin Slayer then? Too copyright?" I wondered.

"Eh? Goblin Slayer? Well, he slays them but he often leaves them into small pieces so he's known as a butcherer too…" Sighed Marie. "Anyways, I think that's it for newbies help! Anything else, just feel free to ask me!"

"Alright then, thanks- Ah, by the way, what race are you, Marie?" I wondered.

"Race? Oh, I am a Majin!" She said.

"Majin?"
