I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Among the participants in the second tier, the professionals from the four royal cities hesitated.

But seeing that the "country" professionals from Glad City and Valcalm had not backed down, and with the generous rewards, they decided to give it a shot.

Anyway, Tester has promised that these lower-ranking individuals won't have to go to the front lines.

"Oh no, we think we've been tricked!"

The sixth-tier participants only knew that there would be another, fairer way to determine the champion, but they never expected that they would have to fight on the front lines.

At this time, there were still tens of thousands of royal city spectators inside the guild hall.

All of these winners are famous now.

Some mercenary groups even deliberately promote themselves to enhance their group's reputation.

But now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, if they withdraw from the competition, they will inevitably be labeled as cowards.

The fame they had built up before would collapse in an instant.

It could even implicate the mercenary group behind them, leading to a reduction in the number of commissioned missions.

Even if you're not a member of a mercenary group, quitting at this point will still subject you to gossip and tarnish your reputation.

For people of other races, withdrawing at this time would not have much of an impact on them.

I came here to travel anyway, so if things don't work out, I can always move to another city.

However, none of the dwarf brothers or orcs withdrew from the fourth tier.

They were connected by Sun, who needed to improve his strength and would definitely go to the front lines.

Kim, Silver, Layton, and Vernal discussed it and decided that participating in the front-line war seemed very exciting, so they decided to go and see for themselves and determine a winner.

One minute later, only two fifth-order and three sixth-order players chose to abstain.

These are all members of a mercenary group.

Tester remained unfazed and immediately announced their disqualification from the competition.

After they stepped off the stage, Tester said loudly, "To have the title of 'Number One in the World,' one must not only have extraordinary strength, but also extraordinary courage and boldness!"

The titles of "Number One Under Heaven" bestowed by the royal family and "Star of Adventurers" bestowed by the Adventurers' Guild also represent the royal family and the Adventurers' Guild, respectively.

Those who don't even dare to participate in the finals are naturally not qualified to compete for titles, rewards, and benefits!

Those of you who stayed, your courage alone surpasses that of many others.

Tester's words not only subtly belittled those who abstained, but also inspired those who chose to stay.

This made the faces of the few people who had abstained from the competition in the audience turn dark.

The person on stage stood tall with their chest out.

With five people missing, it's natural to select five more.

"The top 50 contestants are automatically qualified as long as they step into the ring now."

As soon as Tester finished speaking, several figures rushed out from the audience.

But soon they were blocked or overtaken by people behind them in various ways.

The journey from the audience seats to the ring can also be considered a selection process.

With five figures appearing on the arena, the lineup heading to Worengel was now finalized.

"Very well, everyone, please assemble outside the tournament hall in three days. We will then travel through the portal, following the Blade Legion and other armies, to Volengol!"

"Your Highness, please wait a moment!"

Seeing Tester preparing to leave, Anno stepped forward and asked, "Could the adventurers use the portal to travel to Warrengle and support the front lines?"

Tester smiled upon hearing this.

"sure!"

Tester's answer surprised many people.

For example, Ashe lost to Anno.

She now wants to go to Warrengol.

But if you go there normally, it will take at least a few days.

Portals can save a lot of time.

As everyone left the venue, news about the final events spread at an extremely fast pace.

The general public applauded it.

This is to resist the Demon King's army and prevent the country from being invaded, doing the same things as the army.

If one performs meritorious service, then one can be called a hero.

Those who backed down at the last minute naturally drew criticism.

It's just that they are very powerful, so no one dares to say it to their face.

However, those who have long-term partnerships with the mercenary groups behind these people are already considering changing partners.

As for the new partners, they are not other large mercenary groups, but adventurers' guilds!

The big merchants had already been in contact with the Adventurers' Guild and had issued some low-level quests.

However, the Adventurers' Guild didn't have many skilled members before, so they could only rely on mercenary groups for high-level missions.

But now, the number of adventurers in the guild has multiplied, and many experts have also chosen to join.

In just over two months, its size has already surpassed that of the ten major mercenary groups in the royal city combined!

In addition, with a suitable price, as long as the Adventurers' Guild successfully completes a few high-level commissions and proves itself, the merchants will have the opportunity to immediately switch partners.

Many mercenary groups in the city are only now realizing that their business has been almost entirely taken over by the Adventurers' Guild, and a small number of mercenary groups are facing unemployment.

But they were helpless!

The Adventurers' Guild is no longer what it was when it was first established.

The number of adventurers has increased dramatically since the start of the World's Number One Professional Tournament.

Furthermore, the mysterious guild leader Anno has already appeared, and rumors suggest that his strength may also be at the sixth rank.

No mercenary group dares to cause trouble for the Adventurers' Guild anymore.

Otherwise, they would be ruining the livelihoods of tens of thousands of adventurers.

Tens of thousands of adventurers and countless commissioners who were beginning to get used to guilds would not agree to this.

......

The next day, at the Adventurers' Guild!

Wolf Girl took a request that Anno had just written from upstairs and posted it on the task wall.

The task wall was now covered with tasks of various levels.

The quest posted by Wolf Girl is: [Guild Group Quest: Monster Hunter!]

[Mission Objective: Accompany the Adventurers' Guild Master to Worengle to hunt monsters.]

Any adventurer can participate. They can decide whether to join the army or hunt monsters solo. Use the hunting certificate (a key part of the monster) at the supply depot to exchange for merit points. Merit points earned from hunting monsters will be 20% higher than usual.

Merit points can be exchanged for resources, and even magical equipment—which wasn't possible before!

The adventurer with the most merit points will be awarded the title of "Monster Hunter" by their guild. Adventurers with this title will not have their guilds charge any fees for completing quests! They will also receive VIP treatment at any adventurer guild, including but not limited to a 50% discount on purchases, a dedicated meeting room, and priority access to quests!

This is the first time a guild-wide group quest has appeared in the Royal City.

The old adventurer from Val'kam, upon seeing the guild quest above, couldn't help but recall the days when he fought to the death against the slime army and monster forces in Gruul Town, blocked the retreating monsters in Mill Village, and... was chased by undead zombies, running for his life.

Those who survive every guild mission reap enormous rewards they never dared to imagine before.

Those who follow Anno reap greater rewards!

Regardless of what others thought, adventurers from Val'kam rushed to the front desk to register after seeing that Anno would also participate in the guild's group quest.
