I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

A tingling sensation ran through her body, and Anuo felt as if some changes were happening to her.

Focusing his attention on the information panel, Anno saw the upgraded [Acid Spray].

High-Pressure Acid Burst – Instantly ejects a large amount of acid. Longer range! Faster speed! Wider coverage!

Anuo made an excuse to go to the toilet and temporarily left Xue Feibai and Lu Zhishang, going to a distance away with his back to the two of them.

Anno stretched out his right hand toward a boulder ten meters away.

"[High-Pressure Acid Burst], Activate!"

A ball of acid the size of a human head condensed in front of Anno's right hand, and then shot out at an extremely fast speed.

Snapped!

When the acid clump hit the boulder, it splashed over a large area.

Everywhere that was covered made a hissing sound, and a layer of the stone surface was immediately corroded away.

This is not finished!

To Anno's astonishment, five clumps of acid, each the size of a human head, flew away.

The boulder, which was over a meter tall, was eroded into a pitted and uneven shape in just a few seconds!

"Awesome!"

Anno rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Not only has its power increased, but its quantity has also increased.

It went from a single-target attack to a multi-target attack!

"With this, I can face Harry and his five companions head-on without relying on summoned creatures!"

If it weren't for the skill cost increasing to 20 mana points after the upgrade, even at full strength, one could only fire two shots.

Anno even felt that he could go find a short-axe goblin and have a one-on-one duel between men.

"Unfortunately, mana is a big problem."

Anno sighed.

He remembered that Reverend Henry had once said that Anno's magical power was very low.

Only slightly taller than the average person.

"I wonder if there's any way to increase mana. Otherwise, even if I have a bunch of powerful skills in the future, if I can't use them because of a lack of mana, it's no different from not learning any skills at all."

As Anuo pondered this, she returned to Xue Feibai's side.

After dealing with the slime, Anno and his two companions returned to the Moonlit Tavern, called the six women, and went to the tailor shop to buy everyone two sets of clothes.

Nine people, eighteen sets of clothes, costing a full eighteen silver coins!

This was a discounted price for a large purchase.

"What expensive clothes!"

Xue Fei's hands were trembling when he paid.

The three of them squandered a whole day of their youth on the grassland, earning eleven silver coins in return.

This efficiency in making money is absolutely unparalleled in the small town of Gruul.

But to my surprise, it cost eighteen silver coins just to provide everyone with two sets of clothes!

Anno was prepared for this, since she had bought the clothes before.

He patted Xue Feibai on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't worry about it, these are necessities. We can't all be wearing our old, tattered clothes, can we?"

A group of women immediately chimed in, "That's right, clothes are a necessity!"

It's not that they didn't want to save money, it's just that everyone's clothes were no longer wearable.

Apart from Lü Yan and Liu Rongrong, everyone else was basically wearing ripped clothes.

In addition, Anuo also bought clothes for Lü Yan and the other two girls.

Lu Yan was initially sulking because Anuo wouldn't take her to hunt slimes.

When it came time to buy clothes, she immediately forgot all about those things and started picking them out with the others.

The group returned to the Moonlight Tavern and ordered food.

"Alright everyone, have a good rest after dinner tonight. We're heading into town tomorrow!"

Everyone: "Oh~!"

……

As the sun rose above the horizon, the caravans in the town of Gruul had already assembled in the town center, ready to depart at any moment.

Anno and the others arrived at the caravan early.

Besides the merchants from the town, there were also two unfamiliar guards traveling with him.

Because it was far from Warkam and it was early summer, caravans had to set off at sunrise and could barely reach Warkam by sunset.

Wild animals and monsters roam the wilderness at night, and even with the protection of professionals, one can easily be in mortal danger.

Therefore, caravans in the town of Gruul do not camp in the wild.

They usually arrive in Warkam on the same day.

However, a quarter of an hour had passed since sunrise, and the caravan still hadn't set off.

Some of the merchants in the group were already getting anxious.

Anno and the others had no idea what had happened, so they could only wait patiently on the sidelines.

After a while, Mayor Ria, heavily pregnant and with a worried expression, walked to the front of the caravan and gave the order to depart.

The caravan, including the nine members of Anno, consisted of more than thirty people.

The group drove their horse-drawn carriage slowly out of the town of Grür.

Because the road was rugged and uneven, the carriage did not travel very fast.

Not far away, Anno saw Old John walking towards him.

"What's wrong, Uncle John?" Anno jumped down from the carriage and went to greet him.

Old John glanced back at the mayor in the middle of the caravan and whispered to Anno, "Mayor Ria told me that he was supposed to go to Walkam with Harry today, but for some reason, Harry didn't show up and we can't contact him at all."

You've made an enemy of Harry, and I'm worried he might come after you.

Be careful on the road, and don't fall behind!

Hearing old John's concerns, Anno couldn't help but smile inwardly.

Yesterday, when I went to the grasslands, Anno made a special trip to the place where he fought Harry.

There were already piles of slimes gathered there.

As for Harry and the others' bodies... not even a trace remained.

"Okay, uncle, I'll be careful."

Although he knew in his heart that Harry posed no danger to him, Anno still nodded with a "worried face".

The appearance must be perfect.

After all, Harry has a brother who is level 10!

Anno didn't want the other party to trace it back to him.

After Anuo returned to the carriage where everyone was, Xue Feibai immediately asked, "What happened?"

Anno said nonchalantly, "It seems that our caravan was delayed because we couldn't contact Harry and the others."

"Harry?!"

Upon hearing this name, everyone except Meng Xin and the other two remained expressionless, while the others were all taken aback.

Harry had a conflict with Anno.

He himself was a level 4 trainee warrior, and his brother was a level 10 captain of the Bloodstained Mercenary Group.

Given their personality, encountering them on this trip to Valkam will undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble.

Lu Yan looked at An Nuo, bit her lip, and whispered, "An Nuo, it's all my fault!"

"And me!" Liu Rongrong said, head bowed.

Anno waved his hand and instructed everyone, "Our purpose in coming here is threefold: first, to become professionals; second, to establish an adventurers' guild; and third, to heal my severed finger."

Don't worry about Harry, everyone. I'll handle it.

Perhaps because of the confidence conveyed in Anno's voice, everyone chose to believe Anno and stopped discussing the matter.

The journey was long, and the carriage ride was too bumpy.

Before long, many people jumped off the carriages and chose to walk—after all, the carriages weren't much faster than walking.

Along the way, Anno and his companions saw the vast grassland filled with slimes, and also the endless Forbidden Forest.

They even encountered several slimes along their journey, some of which seemed to have come from the grasslands or the forests.

These slimes were easily dealt with by the guards and did not cause any trouble for the convoy.

Speechless all the way.

Except for a midday break when the caravan stopped to eat some dry rations and let the horses rest, the caravan continued on its way.

Finally, at dusk, Anno looked ahead and saw the outline of Valkam.
