Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

"You're here again…" The same receptionist sighed. "S-Sir David brought us the rewards and payment for your work today… T-Thank you for saving the Kingdom from such a big menace. And I… Well, I wanted to apologize, for judging you before. You've helped the entire Kingdom quite a lot."

"Woah this girl really went through a whole progression arc." Said Jenny while laughing, sitting over my head on her smallest purple-colored slime form. "Don't worry girl, you're alright."

"Yeah, I guess it's fine." Mark laughed, suddenly noticing that there were a lot of Adventurers around us. Most of the people we had seen at the beginning of our journey in this beautiful city, who stared at us with judgmental stares, were now all humbly admiring us for some reason.

"Woah, aren't those the super rookies that are working for the King?"

"Y-Yeah… Some of them are Players, others not."

"I heard that fairy is the knight of the queen of fairies in that forest far away?"

"And isn't that Dryad Lady very famous among other Players?"

"I guess it makes sense, they're all super strong."

"To think a party of demi-humans is helping the King the most… I feel ashamed of myself."

There were all kinds of comments, some were ashamed of themselves for not helping enough, and others were simply admiring everything. We ignored their words because we didn't really want to engage if possible, the rewards were swiftly given through system notifications.

The guild receptionist seemed to be able to trigger certain system notifications with their special jobs and skills, something very interesting. There might be many other NPC Classes capable of triggering these interactions.

"I've deposited your rewards inside of your inventories. Also, you've gained plenty of renown, you should be close to reaching A Rank!"

Ding!

[You've completed a special [Criminal Apprehension] and [Evil Cultists Bounty] Adventure Guild Requests!]

[You earned 300.000.000 Gold]

[You earned 80.000.000 EXP]

[You received [Skill Book: Iron Body (B Grade)] x1 [Skill Book: Enhanced Five Senses (B Grade)] x1 [Ki Reinforcing Elixir (A Grade)] x20 [Resilient Warrior's Bracelet (A Grade)] x1]

[You earned +100.000 Adventurer Guild Merit!]

[Your Adventurer License (B+ Rank) will soon reach A- Rank, be prepared!]

[Once you reach A- Rank, you will have to complete special Quests assigned by the Adventurer Guild to continue increasing your Rank.]

[Naturally, they will not come without their great rewards. The higher your Adventurer Guild Rank, the higher the benefits you will receive all across the countries affiliated with it.]

[From discounts to being able to access VIP areas to be able to buy special equipment and materials only sold to nobles or high-ranked adventurers, alongside being able to buy plots of land and more.]

[Once you reach A Rank after successfully completing the A- Rank Trial Quest, you will be able to access the VIP Area of every affiliated guild, where Special Elite Quests will be available, and this also includes many special benefits.]

So becoming an Adventurer is the key to progress in the game- I mean world, huh? The higher your rank, the more accessibility you gain to literally everything. And this VIP Area is picking my interest, especially those Elite Quests! I wonder if they are what let me access some of the bosses' people who usually slay weekly.

I do remember reading somewhere that the minimum to grind most weekly or monthly bosses is to get to Rank A in the Adventurer Guild. This means my daughter and Angelina's party are all A Rank then, seeing how they always grind with these bosses for Gold and Materials.

I feel a bit embarrassed now, seeing how I'm still so far behind them, especially Angelina's Party, who are cooperating with us like equals, yet they still feel stronger than us in many ways. If it wasn't for our special gear, evolutions, and the buffing skills I have, we wouldn't be able to fight on equal footing as much as I would want to.

Maybe I am overthinking things but knowing that there's still a long way to go for all of us makes me more pumped up to continue growing stronger.

"Thank you for everything, we'll be leaving then."

"I should be the one thankful, please, come back whenever you want!"

As we left the adventurer guild, we noticed it was already getting much darker, the sun had already fully settled, and we could only see the last rays of sunlight coming from the horizon. We leisurely made our way back to the Smithy, while everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I utilized this time to check the new rewards I had acquired.

First of all, I got two new Skill Books on [Skill Book: Iron Body (B Grade)] and [Skill Book: Enhanced Five Senses (B Grade)]! These two Skill Books are probably given to every Knight that begins their duty, seeing that David is the one given the task of choosing our rewards, he's most likely trying to help us grow stronger with the standard skills Knights or Paladins get.

Aside from that, he also gifted us twenty [Ki Reinforcing Elixir (A Grade)]! Looks like these are mass-produced somewhere. I've heard about the Alchemy Guild being the third biggest Guild after the Merchant Guild, while the Magician Guild was the first. They probably keep a constant supply of all sorts of Potions and Elixirs for the Kingdom's knights and soldiers. The same way the King asked us for weapons and armor supplies.

And lastly, the one special reward of the night, the [Resilient Warrior's Bracelet (A Grade)]! Similar to the Magician Ring, it looks like it's a special Bracelet that'll help me keep my Mana High by using Satiation, the opposite of the Magician Ring, actually.
