Chapter 182: Chapter 111 Hunting Day_3

Moli didn’t raise her head, just lowered it as she operated something under the counter.

"Number: 1121D, Status: Idle..."

Two seconds later, her hand movements suddenly paused, as if waiting for something.

After another three seconds, she still didn’t receive the expected information.

Moli couldn’t help but look up, her eyes half-hidden behind her bangs, and gazed at Xia Nan in front of her.

"Team name?"

"Hmm?"

As usual, Xia Nan, who was waiting for the other party to complete the registration, couldn’t help but be taken aback.

What does this mean?

Moli, who had been working here for years and had experienced several Hunting Days,

didn’t even need to ask to guess the confusion in Xia Nan’s mind.

She quickly explained:

"During the Hunting Day, ’special’ type tasks must be undertaken in a team form, with a minimum of four people."

Not waiting for him to reply, she already knew from his expression that he was likely a solo adventurer.

Moli lowered her head again, her arms moving as if switching some page under the counter.

"If you don’t have a team and still wish to participate in the Hunting Day activities, you can leave your name and address here. I can register it, and teams requiring additional members will contact you."

Xia Nan quickly pondered.

According to her, tasks related to the Hunting Day, marked with "Special-C" on the Task Board, must be undertaken in teams.

It seemed troublesome.

He had just scanned the entire task wall.

Compared to before, the number of tasks during the Hunting Day had indeed increased several times.

But nearly ninety-five percent of them were special types, impossible to complete solo.

This meant that if he wanted to benefit from the doubled goblin bounty during the Hunting Day,

he had to join a team, even if only temporarily, and leave after the event.

"Or, not take any tasks and still go alone into the forest to find goblin nests, only earning the bounty on the demons themselves?"

The thought crossed his mind, but he dismissed it just as quickly.

Although the number of green skins would indeed surge during this period,

the presence of many adventurers from River Valley Town would prevent a major transformation.

On this premise, even if the overall number far exceeded the past, compared to the whole Mist Forest, it was like pouring a small lake into the sea, making no significant impact.

Even if he ignored the other dangers in the forest, without the association providing approximate coordinates, forcibly entering to search for goblin traces would likely yield little.

Enhancing the Skill Level of [Teeth Hunting] might even be less efficient than staying in town and doing nothing, practicing hard until the end of the Hunting Day.

But...

His past experiences in the "Stinky Fish and Shrimp" team made him instinctively resist teaming up with strangers.

Unless the task required it, or in special situations like the Half Elf token, he preferred solo adventures.

Registering at the adventurer association risked being assigned to an unreliable team...

He didn’t want to be on guard against other forest dangers while also watching out for team members turning against him.

"Perhaps, he could ask the owner of the ’White Sparrow Tavern’, Chapton?"

Having rested in River Valley Town for so many days, with three meals a day and evening stays resolved at the White Sparrow,

Xia Nan and Chapton had developed a bit of an acquaintance.

The other party was well-informed and might know of a trustworthy team lacking members.

Xia Nan wasn’t boasting,

but his current combat power, though certainly not comparable to those with a professional level, was definitely excellent among ordinary adventurers.

A little display of strength and a hint of willingness to join a team would probably make him quite desirable.

No rush in these one or two days.

Xia Nan greeted Moli in front of him and turned to leave.

"Thanks, forget about the registration for now. I’ll come back next time."

Without saying much, Moli simply lowered her head again, looking rather exhausted.

Ding—

A weak voice rang out behind as the bell lightly chimed.

"Next."

...

"Boss, how about Kegel?"

In the association hall, Old Berg crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and asked Adeline beside him.

"I’ve teamed up with him before. Although he doesn’t always follow orders, his combat effectiveness is decent; both of his Battle Skills should be at ’Skillful’ level by now."

"Did you charge him?" Adeline didn’t turn her head, her steady voice sweeping over the crowd gathered at the task board.

"Uh..." Being pointed out directly by Adeline, Berg felt a bit embarrassed but didn’t deny it, just coughed lightly, "Not exactly. He bought me a ’Molten Lava Sigh’ drink a few days ago, just a small favor."

"How about Stacy? I really..."

Before he finished speaking, Adeline seemed to have pinpointed her target.

With two strong and robust legs, she strode straight toward the association’s entrance.

"Hey, boss, wait for me!"
