The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

Inside the Adventurer Guild Hall,

The spacious hall resembled a modern-day document processing hall, and the receptionists behind the counters were all in uniform, clearly members of the Red Maple Base organization.

At this moment, the hall was noisy, just like a modern certificate processing hall. However, here, you could see strong and capable men and women everywhere.

Each of them carried the fierce and murderous aura unique to adventurers. Even the female adventurers had a bold and decisive stance, with their exposed arms showing well-defined muscles.

As soon as Ye Xiao and his entourage, dressed in overly "glamorous" attire, stepped into the hall, they became the focus of everyone's attention.

Countless pairs of eyes, filled with intense pressure, assaulted them. The group, who had already undergone far greater trials, remained unmoved, their faces calm. They paused for only a second before slowly stepping into the hall and walking toward a notice board on the side.

A number of people were standing in front of the notice board, but they weren't looking at the information on it, because it only contained basic guidance information for adventure teams.

But when they saw Ye Xiao and his group approaching, the crowd occupying the notice board showed no intention of leaving.

They simply crossed their arms, casually glancing at Ye Xiao and his group, showing no intention of moving.

Ye Xiao's gaze swept quietly across the hall. By observing the positions of these people, he could almost deduce the strength of these adventure teams.

On both sides of the hall, there were rows of iron benches for resting. At this moment, the benches were not full, but no one dared to step forward and occupy the empty seats.

The adventure team, huddled together in the rest area, stretched out their legs in a rough and lazy manner, casually occupying the spacious chairs.

Their faces showed disdain for the other teams around them, and their clothing clearly indicated that they were of a much higher status than those pitiful, ragged slobs.

These people should be the high-level adventure teams listed on the bulletin board. The rest are scattered in different corners of the hall, but their team levels can be roughly determined from their positions.

The way these people looked at Ye Xiao and his companions varied, and their thoughts were all different.

There was disdain, curiosity, doubt, as well as greed and malice, like mice that had caught a whiff of something, their eyes filled with resentment and jealousy.

Ye Xiao turned his gaze away from the notice board and towards the counter.

The best way to get information is to check the adventure team's missions, where you can see the recent movements and status of the base.

To view adventure team missions, you must first register your adventure team information at the counter before you can view missions within the corresponding level range on the screen at the counter.

There are six reception windows, but none of them are currently occupied.

Lu Zhao pointed to the window in the far corner, and Ye Xiao nodded, leading the team slowly towards it.

At this moment, two groups of people were standing near the window. They were probably from two different adventure teams, about two meters apart, not interfering with each other.

Ye Xiao and his group became the third group, standing behind the second group, fearlessly facing the brazen stares of these people.

In the nearby group, a chubby, dark-skinned man wearing an old man's vest squinted at Ye Xiao and his companions. Then, he suddenly broke their silence, shattering the barrier they had encountered upon entering, and actually spoke up:

"Hey, pretty boy, you guys look unfamiliar. Are you from out of town?"

A short man in a short-sleeved shirt standing next to him twitched his octagonal mustache and asked the fat man:

"Dressed like that, why aren't you from the Upper City?"

The fat man glanced at him and said, "Tch, there are adventurer guilds in the upper city, why bother coming here!"

Ye Xiao smiled and responded, completely unconcerned by the other person's condescending attitude:

"Yes, I just arrived at the Red Maple Base today and came here to learn more."

The fat man glanced at Ye Xiao and his group again, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

"From outside? Judging by your attire, where did you young masters come from? Dressed like that, you actually came to our Central District. Why didn't you go to the Upper District or the Central District? Could it be that you just formed a team?"

Ye Xiao smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. He didn't answer the other person's question, but changed the subject and asked:

"What do you call eldest brother?"

The chubby man shrugged and patted the embroidered logo on his gloves with a smug look. "Black Swamp Adventure Team, Dong Hao."

Below the strange embroidered pattern, two stars were embroidered.

Looking at the other person's upturned nostrils, Ye Xiao recalled the divisions on the bulletin board.

The adventure teams at Red Maple Base are divided into low-level adventure teams without stars, and teams with five star levels.

The adventure teams in the lower city are all below 3 stars, but this Black Swamp team seems to be a 2-star adventure team. They must complete at least one 2-star mission every month.

However, Ye Xiao and his group did not know what the 2-star missions here entailed, nor could they assess the strength of their opponents.

After introducing himself, the fat man pointed to a man beside him with his arms crossed, who looked rather silent. This man had a full beard and was wearing an old windbreaker.

"This is our captain, Brother Jiang!"

Captain Jiang simply crossed his arms, lazily raised his eyelids at Ye Xiao, then rolled his eyes and looked away.

"Greetings, gentlemen! My name is Ye Xiao."

Ye Xiao seemed unconcerned about their attitudes and smiled at them.

Ye Xiao's unwavering and unchanged attitude caused Jiang Qian to frown slightly as he looked at Ye Xiao and asked:

Are you asymptomatic?

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Oh, you noticed?"

The fat man was clearly surprised as well. "Asymptomatic individuals are not uncommon in Red Maple, but those who become adventurers are extremely rare!"

Dong Hao shifted his gaze to Chen Ge and his group, as if he had already seen through Ye Xiao's identity, and said to Chen Ge and his companions with a tone of sympathy and mockery:

"So she was playing adventure games with the young master!"

Laughter and joking could be heard from the crowd of onlookers nearby.

"Oh, with all that white and tender skin, she's probably still breastfeeding, isn't she?"

"Wasn't it said to be from outside?"

"Heh, didn't a few young masters just recently get brought in here in a panic by a group of adventurers?"

"They probably came here as refugees from some dilapidated base."

"They think they can be adventurers? They'll be so scared they'll wet their pants! Hahahaha!"

……

Mocking sounds came from all around, then became a cacophony, almost filling the entire hall.

Mocking, disdain, disgust, contempt...

Various disapproving glances followed one after another. Whether sitting or standing, these adventurers all raised their chins and snorted.

They seemed to accept the fat man's guess. They believed, or rather preferred to believe, that Ye Xiao was just a novice young master who wanted to play an adventure game, had absolutely no experience, and was only relying on his "father" to try to build an adventure team.

His overly clean and brand-new attire seemed to suggest that these people were all inexperienced.

Furthermore, Ye Xiao was merely a fair-skinned and handsome young man, completely devoid of the decadence and vicissitudes that come with being ravaged by the apocalypse.

No one wanted to believe that Ye Xiao and his group were a real adventure team; they preferred to think that they were just a bunch of people doing it for fun.

The adventurers' disdainful gazes were so obvious, as if they had somehow become superior to others.

The fans in the live stream were furious at these people's attitude and started swearing, but the system blocked their language, and all they could see were a bunch of intermittent asterisks.

Chen Ge and his group had already turned cold, their faces dark and their aura oppressive.

Instead, Ye Xiao casually patted Ye Xing's head beside him and slowly raised his voice.

"We had only heard of the Red Maple Base before, but this is the first time we've seen it in person. It is indeed very large."

"So, the adventure teams here must be very strong and have a lot of missions, right?"

Ye Xiao raised his face, revealing a cryptic smile, and loudly surveyed the surrounding adventure teams.

"Since you're all so strong, you must have received missions similar to clearing out nests of advanced mutants, right?"
