Chapter 14: Registering as an Adventurer
Hearing Yecheng’s words, Shima Yousuke’s eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at Yecheng with a gaze that seemed to be looking at a kindred spirit, saying, "That's right, just like the 'Guardian Hero,' the protagonist also gradually grows until they finally become a hero.
You must know about it, Yecheng. It’s that super famous game by Sega. You must have played it, right?"
"Ah, I seem to have heard of it..." Seeing Shima Yousuke suddenly get so excited, Yecheng reluctantly agreed. After arriving in the city, Yecheng planned to part ways with him.
Yecheng didn’t know how many transmigrants were in this world, but according to the typical script, Shima Yousuke might very well be the chosen one of this plane.
But from what he could see so far, Yousuke’s combat strength was really...
If he had to wait for Yousuke to become powerful enough to dominate the world, Yecheng didn’t know how long that would take.
Currently, Yecheng had no idea if there was any connection between this world and his original world, or if he could return, and if he did, whether there would still be a version of himself in the Shinigami world.
Yousuke didn’t oppose Yecheng’s suggestion to split up, because as someone who enjoyed playing various games, he understood that if their strength disparity was too great, teaming up wouldn’t help either of them and might even become a hindrance in exploring this world.
Clearly, Shima Yousuke was still treating this otherworld as a game and hadn’t realized the importance of having a strong ally.
To ensure that Shima Yousuke wouldn’t die prematurely because of his weak strength, Yecheng gave him two pieces of advice.
The first was to find something to conceal his appearance temporarily. While Shima Yousuke’s looks could be described as plain, they weren’t ugly. However, in this otherworld where handsome men and beautiful women were the norm, his appearance was on par with that of a Beastman.
The second point was about Shima Yousuke’s cheat ability, the "Universal Persuader." Yecheng believed that since the "Universal Persuader" allowed communication with all living things in this otherworld, perhaps the communication wasn’t limited to visible beings. If he could study and understand it better, there might be some unexpected surprises.
After giving his advice, Yecheng left. At this point, he was in no position to help Shima Yousuke with his confusion, as he himself was completely bewildered by this world.
Since Yecheng could understand the language of this world, he at least avoided the awkward situation of a language barrier like Shima Yousuke had experienced.
To gather information, Yecheng chose the local Adventurer’s Guild.
In a world of swords and magic, adventurers are a staple, and where there are adventurers, there is naturally an Adventurer’s Guild.
With his outstanding looks and excellent eloquence, Yecheng quickly found the local Adventurer’s Guild and, with just a few words, charmed the receptionist girl at the counter.
This otherworld was named "Gran Bahamal." It had humans living in it, much like the real world, and also included other races such as elves, all of whom generally had beautiful appearances. Even commoners and villagers were mostly handsome or beautiful, which was why Shima Yousuke was initially mistaken for a Beastman.
The currency used in this world was copper, silver, and gold coins. The value of a copper coin was approximately 1 coin = 10 money (0.1 yen), and the exchange rate between copper, silver, and gold was one to ten thousand.
Secondly, Yecheng had also learned that in this world, there was currently no Demon King. This meant that the boss he wanted to defeat was not a Demon King but some other kind of creature.
As for the existence of deities, the girl seemed to know very little, after all, she was just a regular receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild.
However, there was one thing that made Yecheng quite happy: in this world, as long as one had a certain amount of knowledge and skill, anyone could use magic.
Magic power was not innate but could be strengthened through training. There also existed a kind of "spell" that could shorten the time needed for incantations by sealing magic power in a talisman and using it once.
"Yecheng, this is your adventurer's credential. Remember to keep it safe. Although it can be replaced if lost, the process is quite troublesome.
Since you just registered, you are currently the lowest rank, an E-Rank Adventurer. Would you like me to help you find some low-risk E-Rank tasks?"
Yecheng used to not believe that good looks could be a meal ticket, but now he deeply agreed with it and had to admit that living off others might even be more comfortable.
"Miss Suya, while it's true that I just became an adventurer, please don't underestimate me. I do possess a certain level of combat ability; I just haven't registered as an adventurer before.
Could you please use your authority to help me take on some more challenging tasks?"
According to the rules of the Adventurer's Guild, adventurers can only accept tasks that correspond to their current rank. This is both for the safety of the employers and the adventurers themselves.
After all, the mortality rate for accepting tasks beyond one's capabilities is quite high.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but doing so would be too dangerous.
Over the years, I've handled many new adventurers who claimed to be excellent hunters or have exceptional talent. They accepted tasks that exceeded their adventurer ranks from me.
Unfortunately, the outcomes for these people were not good. Some died at the hands of various monsters, and others, though they survived, ended up with lifelong disabilities.
Yecheng, the outside world is more dangerous than you can imagine, and those monsters are stronger than you think. So, let's follow the rules and gradually improve our strength, okay?"
Hearing her advice, Yecheng sighed deeply. It wasn't that he was eager to upgrade his adventurer rank, but without any source of income, he feared he might end up sleeping on the streets.
He and Shima Yousuke were suddenly thrown into this world without any currency from this world. The few adventurers they encountered earlier were also poor, and the so-called "compensation for mental distress" was just a large bag of copper coins. Yecheng had thought he had hit the jackpot.
But after splitting the large bag of copper coins fifty-fifty with Shima Yousuke, the portion he received was barely enough to cover the registration fee and the handling fee at the Adventurer's Guild, leaving him with only a few copper coins.
With the purchasing power of one copper coin being 0.1 yen, Yecheng felt that the few coins he had might not even be enough to buy the cheapest loaf of bread...
