Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 35 Commission
It is precisely because of the lukewarm performance of most mages.

The seemingly all-powerful mage is actually not a popular choice.

Lu Cang was still at the counter, standing on tiptoe as he talked to Xi Li...

Not long after, Lu Cang returned.

He was holding four authorization forms in his hand.

“Hilary said that the last quest for the second-tier dungeon has just been accepted.”

A request cannot be sent to two teams at the same time.

Otherwise, when it comes time to settle the commission, the payment will be unclear.

Imagine a team explores the dungeon first, but then goes back to resupply halfway through.

Meanwhile, another team sneaked in and took down the final boss, so the mission couldn't be completed.

Therefore, the task is only assigned to one team, and whoever accepts the task is the one who receives the reward.

Even if someone else clears out the dungeon, as long as you have the quest, the reward is still yours.

Most adventurers would be happy to encounter such a thing, as it's like getting a reward for doing nothing.

"what?"

At this moment, Ji Di, Zhou Er, and Gai Dun sat together, all waiting for Lu Cang's next order.

On the way back, we had already agreed to make another profit from Lu Cang.

Without a Tier 2 dungeon quest, things could get complicated.

After all, they were among the lower-middle tier of level 2 adventurers.

There's no reason to give up a job that makes money so easily.

Lu Cang said, "Xi Li asked me if I wanted to take on a Tier 3 dungeon quest."

"Or try hunting some wild monsters that have a bounty on their heads."

Gaydon: "Hmm..."

"If it's a Tier 3 dungeon, we really can't be of any help."

That is indeed...

If the goal is to explore a Tier 3 dungeon, Lu Cang still plans to recruit Tier 3 adventurers.

We recruited these people with a cautious mindset.

The monsters in the Tier 2 dungeon posed no real threat to Lu Cang, as evidenced by his recent adventure.

The monsters were utterly vulnerable.

Lu Cang hired them for insurance purposes.

Lu Cang was worried that he might have encountered unknown dangers or fallen into some kind of trap because he hadn't realized what was happening yet.

This is another world, and there are many things I don't understand. Iz also said that when exploring dungeons, it's not just monsters that you need to be careful of.

You also need to be careful of traps and ambushes. Even in some low-level dungeons, there may be things that you absolutely must not touch.

It's not uncommon for powerful adventurers to die in low-level dungeons.

There are even rumors that a powerful elven saintess fell into a goblin's lair.

Lu Cang didn't consider himself an experienced adventurer and couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't suffer an unexpected setback.

Regardless... hiring three teammates for 60 silver coins can greatly improve one's margin for error.

That's equivalent to buying a safety rope for 60 silver coins.

But if it's a Tier 3 dungeon.

Those three are indeed lacking in strength.

Lu Cang hired them to ensure his own safety, not just to have another mouth to feed.

Can a level 2 defender defend against a level 3 monster?

In Lu Cang's view, it was uncertain.

"I also believe that we should proceed step by step, so I accepted the commission to hunt down monsters with bounties in the wild."

There are four in total.

Bounty on monsters in the wild...

Not only in dungeons, but also outside towns, traces of monsters can be found. When someone discovers these monsters, they report them to the guild, and the guild will issue an "investigation" quest.

After the "investigation" is verified, a "punishment" mission will be issued.

Of course, if you feel you can win the battle while investigating, you can also complete the subjugation mission.

However, sometimes an adventurer doing an "investigation" quest is alone and cannot carry out the task, so the quest will be posted in the guild and accepted by other adventurers.

Not all monsters will be hunted down; only those monsters considered to pose a significant threat at the second tier or higher will be subject to bounties from the guild.

If it's a slime or something found on the roadside...

There's no need to go to such great lengths.

Everyone looked at the authorization form that Lu Cang had laid out on the table.

Zhou Er examined it carefully and said, "All three D-rank subjugation missions involve second-tier lord-level monsters."

"There's also a C-rank raid mission, against a Tier 3 lord." "They're all lord-level."

That makes sense, considering Lu Cang's immense strength, it's understandable that he only accepts Lord-level monsters.

It is risky for a level 2 adventurer party to challenge a level 2 lord.

While it's not guaranteed you'll die, it's definitely not safe. Hunting three in a day will cause problems with recovery and supplies.

Most adventurers don't recover from injuries in half a day; it depends on how strong the healing mage in the party is.

Lu Cang's youthful voice didn't sound like someone who was about to fight a demon lord.

"Hmm, I'd like to give it a try."

"How do you think the lords of the dungeon compare in strength to the lords outside?"

Zhou Er, being the most experienced, replied, "In terms of strength... the dungeon lords are slightly stronger, but to be precise, the difference isn't that significant."

Lu Cang nodded upon hearing his answer.

"Then let's finish these remaining tasks today."

"The spoils are mine, and the three of you will split 48% of the commission equally. How about that?"

Money is a secondary issue; whether we give them 10 more or 10 less silver, it doesn't really matter.

The four commissions together yielded a total reward of 4 gold, with the largest portion (half) coming from a Tier 3 monster.

You can easily earn a few gold or a dozen silver by simply running a dungeon... there's no need to worry about it.

Lu Cang's main concern was understanding the specific strength of different demons.

Especially... that third-tier monster lord.

If you can defeat them, it proves that you have the ability to enter the third-tier dungeon for adventure.

Lu Cang wasn't the kind of naive person who would think he had mastered two god-level talents.

This allows you to venture into completely unfamiliar dungeons without any prior knowledge.

Safety is always the top priority.

"Be cautious before taking action" is Lu Cang's guiding principle.

“I… have no problem,” Ji Di replied.

After witnessing Lu Cang's strength, Ji Di was convinced that Lu Cang could defeat a third-tier lord.

Even though she had never fought against a third-tier lord.

The fat defender beside him nodded in agreement.

The collector scratched the back of his head and said, "Hmm... with the captain's strength, there shouldn't be any problem."

"Or rather..."

The middle-aged man glanced at the authorization form.

"Well, forget it."

He had originally thought that the compensation they were being paid might be too much.

But then I thought, why would I complain about having too much money?

So be it.

Seeing that the plan was finalized, Lu Cang smiled and said, "By the way, everyone..."

"I come from a relatively faraway country and am not very familiar with the environment here. I would like to ask my older brothers and sisters for help with some questions I don't understand."

Lu Cang revealed an innocent, childlike smile.

The uncle was taken aback for a moment.

Oh right... this incredibly talented genius is actually still a child.

After witnessing Lu Cang's formidable strength, he almost forgot that he was a child.

……

The round trip to conquer the Serpent Forest took less than two hours.

We set off at 8 a.m., and now we're setting off again, so it'll only be around 10:30 a.m.

This level of efficiency in clearing dungeons is something we've never encountered before.

The four set off again.

On the way, Lu Cang subtly inquired about issues he had read in general knowledge books but didn't fully understand...

They gave us their unique answers.

Indeed, there is a significant gap between the knowledge gained from books and reality.

That general knowledge book is a 20-year-old version.

In the last 20 years or so, dungeons have become much more dangerous.

The death rate for adventurers in dungeons of the same tier has reached 1%.
1% may not seem like much, but considering that most adventurers only earn 20-30 silver in Tier 2 dungeons, and when you factor in the prices, it's not a huge amount.

It's almost like gambling with 1% mortality rate for 6000 dollars of Earth's money...

It is indeed a very dangerous profession.
