I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

Rena was carrying a backpack containing bandages and other necessities.

Red brought some bread and a small pickaxe, a bag of water, and [a heart full of longing].

Tef carried a longsword on his back, a small satchel containing some medical supplies, and some dry rations.

On the way to the town gate, Tef asked Reid what was going on.

Reina helped answer some questions, but she didn't know anything about Reed's greatsword, clothes, or various accessories.

Rena whispered, "In summary, Reed is a rather mysterious person. Although he seems fierce, he's quite harmonious in everyday life."

Tef said "Oh" and nodded.

The journey wasn't long, and they soon arrived at the entrance of the town. Looking outside, the three saw, sure enough, a newly armored army and a group of adventurers gathered together.

Tef whispered to Rena, "Let's just have the three of us. Isn't this mission only open to four people?"

Rena crossed her arms and chuckled, "The fourth person is coming soon."

Tef scratched his head and said nothing more.

"What are you three doing?" A soldier in iron armor blocked the three men with a spear.

Rena began, "We're here for a mission." After saying this, Rena handed the mission paper to the other person.

The other person glanced at them, then looked at the three of them. "This mission requires four people to participate. Three people are not enough. Go back now!"

"I have another teammate, her name is Anlisa, she's the soldier captain."

"Ah, you know our captain? You're a friend of his?" The soldier was somewhat surprised. What a coincidence!

Rena nodded and then called out towards the town gate, "Lisa! Come here for a second!"

In just a few seconds, Anlisa stepped out from among a group of soldiers.

"Lena? You've taken on this mission? What do you need me for?" Anlisa was also wearing armor, with a holy sword at her waist.

Rena nodded. "We're still short one person! Lisa, you'll have to fill in!"

Anlisa chuckled and joked, "Oh dear, does this mean I'm doing two jobs? I'll take the extra pay later!"

Anlisa signed her name on the mission sheet, and the soldier put away his spear, ordering the three of them to proceed.

The adventurer has some relatives and friends who are also soldiers.

Some unlucky adventurers, unable to find anyone to team up with, will team up with their soldier friends.

After all, the sacred law doesn't say that soldiers can't team up with adventurers, nor does it say they can't do two jobs at once.

Therefore, other adventurers also team up with their soldier friends.

However, the soldiers in the team still need to be in the army, and Anlisa, as the captain, must command them from within the army.

Rena curiously touched Anlisa's armor. "Wow, Lisa, you're so strong! You can even wear armor!"

Anlisa waved her hand. "Of course! You can wear it too if you exercise more. By the way, introduce this gentleman to me." Anlisa pointed to Tef.

Rena explained the situation to Tef, who greeted her with a smile and explained his foot problem.

Anlisa nodded, showing no disdain for the other person. After all, she had served in the military and once even broke her hand, which was then carried back and treated by soldiers.

On the contrary, I admire Tef; the other guy's head was still bandaged, clearly indicating he wasn't fully recovered, and he was even limping.

They're still adventurers; you can still see some scratches on the iron plate they wear on their chests.

After chatting for a while longer, they each returned to their respective camps.

The three joined the adventurers, while Anlisa returned to the army.

Some adventurers recognized Tef: "Tef the Cripple! You still come on such a dangerous mission?"

"That cripple? I just saw him on the street looking for people to team up with."

"Indeed, he came to my team not long ago saying he wanted to join. Looking at his feet, I'm afraid he'll trip and fall to his death."

"You cripple, your leg still isn't healed? You can do some simple chores. Every time I see you leaving early and coming back late, I'm afraid you'll die out there."

Most of the adventurers around knew the cripple and made sarcastic remarks.

Tef also gave a brief response.

This is mainly because Tef frequently travels around looking for quests he can accept, which has led to many adventurers seeing him.

At first glance, it was nothing special; I just treated him like an ordinary person.

But after a while, and since it happened more than once or twice, some people became familiar with Tef and would even make fun of him.

Tef gradually accepted it, and now he's recognized almost everywhere he goes in town.

Tef always took on tasks he could do to earn money for foot treatment, but he always returned with injuries.

So, a portion of the money I earned went towards treating my wounds, some money was needed for food and drink, and the remaining little was saved up to cover the cost of treating my foot.

A few minutes later, Minister Kesen emerged from the group of soldiers.

Arriving among the soldiers and adventurers to announce

Wearing a strong suit of armor, Kerson said, "Let me reiterate, this mission is very dangerous."

"Soldiers obey orders, and adventurers demonstrate their survival skills by killing the enemy."

"And one more important point! Don't even think about slacking off and picking up the Black Crown! If you want to get the Black Crown and claim the bounty, you have to kill the opponent yourself with your weapon and snatch that dark thing from the back of their head!"

"If I find out that you've been slacking off and taking advantage of the situation to steal someone else's work, whether you're a soldier or an adventurer, I'll kill you on the spot!"

Minister Kesen had a very imposing presence; his voice was loud and his authority even greater! Some people with ulterior motives who wanted to steal or cheat instantly lost their minds.

Even the surroundings were completely silent; for a moment, there wasn't a sound.

Kerson's point is simple: if you want to win the prize money, you have to fight for it yourself.

Don't be lazy and watch someone else kill a cult member while you slack off. Seize the opportunity to steal the black crown from the cult member they killed.

Seeing the quiet crowd, Kerson nodded, drew his holy sword, pointed it at the target path, and said, "Alright, let's set off! We must strike first and take out the cultists!"

"If we wait any longer, the cultists will be at our door! Time's up! Let's go!"

A magician in a magic robe waved his staff a few times, and a simple map appeared in the air.

The map appeared in the air for only a few seconds before disappearing with a flash of light.

The magician turned and said, "I know the way. Everyone, follow me."

After the magician finished speaking, he walked forward, and everyone followed him.

Rena is very nervous now, even though she has become the guild leader and received the Adventurer's Beginner Level 10 wooden plaque.

But as the guild leader, this was the first time he had taken on such a dangerous mission. His previous missions had only involved picking herbs with Alice and such.

Now I've skipped directly from gathering herbs to fighting the cult's lair.

Rena panicked and instinctively moved a few centimeters closer to Reed.

Phew~ I still feel so safe next to Reed.

As they got closer, Rena's front body pressed directly against Reed's back.

After feeling the touch, Rena quickly pulled open a few centimeters.

How did I end up so close to Reed?! I feel so embarrassed! Oh my god, what will Reed think?! Ahhh!

In Reid's mind...

(One black crown equals 40 coins... so 25 black crowns should be...)
