Chapter 183: Chapter 112 Green Blood

"Is there a suitable team?"

Chapton looked at the black-haired young man in front of him with a bit of surprise on his face.

"Isn’t it Hunting Day?" Xia Nan sat on the wooden chair in front of the bar, looking helpless. "I only found out when I went to the Association today that you need at least a team of four to qualify."

"Otherwise, they won’t even let you take the mission."

Although through the adventurers in the tavern, he learned about the concept of ’Hunting Day’ and urgently gathered related information through various means.

But after all, due to the rushed timing, he ultimately made mistakes on this ’common knowledge’ that local adventurers know all too well.

"It’s alright, Hunting Day has just begun. Most teams are still in town, so it won’t take long." Chapton wiped the glass in his hand and reassured him.

Having stayed in the tavern for so long, with almost every meal solved here, for Xia Nan, he has already surpassed the concept of a ’regular’.

The relationship between the two, even if not familiar friends, far exceeds that of others.

In fact, as the owner of the White Sparrow Tavern, which regularly sees a large number of adventurers coming and going,

It’s already quite challenging to have him recognize someone by face.

After all, only by surviving multiple missions and earning generous rewards can one have the bottom-line confidence to frequently spend at a place like the ’White Sparrow’ Tavern, where the average prices far exceed typical taverns.

And only by returning alive from the Mist Forest, teeming with all kinds of demons and extreme dangers, can someone become ’familiar’ to him.

Xia Nan’s image as a ’Dual Swordsman’ made Chapton pay extra attention to him.

Every time he came to the tavern to drink and eat, he was alone, disappearing for a while, and then returning covered in blood after a few days, with constantly upgraded equipment...

From these aspects alone, the experienced tavern owner was able to make judgments about him:

Frequently acts alone, rarely seen interacting with other adventurers – ’Lone Wolf’;

Wealthy, able to stay long-term in the tavern and never skimp on food or drink – generous mission rewards;

Numerous adventure outings, frequent battles, but never seen suffering severe injuries – indirectly proves strength.

Even though he appears very young, not yet twenty.

The capabilities Xia Nan has shown are already enough for Chapton to actively engage and build connections with him.

"No need to rush. Even after a few days, there are plenty of opportunities."

"On Hunting Day, the danger is much greater than usual. Especially in the later days, no matter how prepared, manpower shortages will still occur."

The large number of goblins is a danger that can easily catch most adventurers off guard.

Suffering losses, almost sixty percent of the teams in town will need to temporarily replenish members during this time to increase competitiveness.

"You shouldn’t be going too far recently, right? I’ll keep an eye out and can help introduce you to someone suitable."

"Thank you." Seeing the other party willing to help, Xia Nan felt slightly relieved.

Coinciding with mealtime, his eyes reflexively glanced over the menu on the wall.

Yet without much hesitation, he habitually spoke:

"The usual, one number three set meal."

"Sure, please wait a moment!"

After greeting the other party, Xia Nan left the counter and returned to his usual spot in the corner of the tavern hall.

Speaking of which, since crossing over and staying in River Valley Town for so many days, he has tried all the dishes on the White Sparrow Tavern menu, expensive or cheap alike.

Among them, quite a few can be described as ’pretty good’.

But perhaps because it was his formal first meal after crossing over, Xia Nan had a preference for the number three set meal: cream mushroom soup + white bread + stewed meat.

Leaning back against the chair, the familiar noise surrounding him gradually soothed his body and mind.

He couldn’t help squinting his eyes, pondering over the upcoming plans:

"First, use Hunting Day to make a wave of money, ideally raising the skill level of [Teeth Hunting] to lv4, close to full level."

"Then slightly reduce training intensity, allocating some time to find the next battle skill. By the way, over at Neum..."

Bam—

The sudden thud of a wooden cup landing on the table brought Xia Nan’s awareness back to reality.

A burly figure, unbeknownst to him, had already arrived at the table.

Without waiting for Xia Nan’s consent, he directly sat across from him.

The translucent reddish liquor splashed slightly on the table, and the wooden cup filled to the brim was pushed in front of him.
