Adventurer

In the city of Mondstadt, at the Good Hunter restaurant.

At a wooden table and chairs close to the street, Li Qiuzhi and Amber sat opposite each other, and Sara, the waitress at Good Hunter, served two plates of Sticky Honey Roast:

"Please wait a moment for the two orders of Spaghetti."

Since it was just dinner time, there were quite a lot of people in the restaurant, making it lively and bustling.

Amber picked up the gleaming silver knife and fork, cut off a small piece from the large chunk of meat on the plate, and put it into her mouth. The sweetness of the carrots and the honey roast blended perfectly with the meat, providing a full, rich, smooth, and tender texture.

"Didn't you say you had something you needed my help with? What is it?" Amber asked, narrowing her eyes in enjoyment.

[Amber's friendship towards you has increased, you gained 10 Friendship points, current Friendship level Lv.2 (70/200)]

Seeing Amber's friendship towards him increase again, Li Qiuzhi was stunned for a moment. It seemed Amber was quite happy; he really hadn't come to the wrong person.

Li Qiuzhi also replied while cutting his roast:

"Since I've already become a hunter, it's a bit inappropriate to keep living at the Knights of Favonius relief station, so I'm planning to move out, and then I wanted to ask for your advice."

He still had over three hundred thousand Mora, which, even if not a huge amount, was plenty for moving to a more comfortable living environment.

"Is that it?" Amber said, "I thought there was something more important?"

Actually, Li Qiuzhi mainly wanted to let her know; after all, moving out of the Knights of Favonius relief station without telling the person who helped him wouldn't be right, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to have more contact with her to raise Amber's friendship towards him a little bit.

However, thinking about it now, there really was something else he could ask Amber for a favor with, so Li Qiuzhi said:

"Well, Miss Amber, when do you have free time? Could I learn archery from you?"

Li Qiuzhi remembered that once a skill in his Character Panel reached Lv.10, it would gain a trait, and at the same time, it could be fused with another skill of the same type and also at Lv.10 to become a more powerful skill.

If he could learn Amber's archery and then fuse it with his current Hunter's Archery, it would definitely undergo a qualitative change and become even stronger.

Moreover, without a Vision, besides leveling up, skills were also a very important part of his path to becoming stronger.

"Just call me Amber." Amber took a bite of the Sticky Honey Roast and pondered for a moment, "Well, I suppose I can teach you. As an Outrider, I also have to patrol outside normally, so I can teach you when my tasks aren't heavy."

"Mm, thank you, um, Amber."

Li Qiuzhi nodded.

Indeed, there was no rush to learn it; the main issue was that he lacked Experience Points. He would go find Katheryne to register as an adventurer right after this, and tomorrow he would take on commissions to fight monsters.

"As for you wanting to move out of the relief station, that's simple too." Amber said with a smile curving her fair cheeks, "I have a very good friend whose family has many idle houses in the city of Mondstadt that can't be rented out due to certain reasons. If you need one, I think she'd be very happy to rent it to you cheaply."

Amber's very good friend-could it be Eula? Li Qiuzhi thought to himself secretly.

Just like Amber, Eula was also with the Knights of Favonius. What was surprising was that Eula's family belonged to the Lawrence Clan, the old aristocracy spurned by everyone in Mondstadt.

Because in Mondstadt's past history, the Lawrence Clan were old aristocrats who oppressed the people, they were unfavored by most people today.

Just as Eula constantly had it on her lips that she was the descendant of a sinner, her joining the Knights of Favonius felt incredible both inside the Lawrence Clan and in the eyes of Mondstadt's citizens.

Facing all kinds of skepticism, although Eula appeared indifferent on the surface, inwardly she was probably quite lonely and in pain, and the appearance of the little angel Amber seemed to have become her rare salvation.

Of course, what she said with her mouth was "enemy".

And it was completely normal for the Lawrence Clan, an old aristocracy with such a poor reputation among the common folk of Mondstadt, to have some real estate that couldn't be rented out and thus remained idle.

As for these things, Li Qiuzhi didn't mind them at all; instead, he felt expectant about the opportunity to get to know Eula.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Amber." Li Qiuzhi said quite happily.

The two finished their dinner while chatting, and after Li Qiuzhi paid the Mora, they bid each other farewell.

Li Qiuzhi made haste straight to the Adventurers' Guild reception desk near the city gate area.

Katheryne, wearing a belted dress and a maid headband, kept her hands folded over her abdomen, looking as elegant as ever.

With a smile on her face, she looked at the young man before her and spoke those words repeated countless times:

"Towards the stars and the abyss! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild."

"Hello, Miss Katheryne, I'd like to join the Adventurers' Guild. Could you help me register, please?"

Li Qiuzhi asked politely.

He knew that joining the Adventurers' Guild to become an adventurer was actually quite simple now, but having played Noelle's Hangout Event, Li Qiuzhi knew that after the Stormterror incident, the Traveler's heroic performance would greatly stimulate newcomers to join the Adventurers' Guild.

Moreover, according to Cyrus, the branch master of the Adventurers' Guild, most newcomers were greenhorns who would hurt themselves even dealing with a Slime.

At that time, an introductory assessment would be set up to screen out impulsive fellows.

"All right, please wait a moment."

The elegant and tranquil Adventurers' Guild receptionist Katheryne said in a calm and gentle tone, then turned around to take out a registration logbook from a neatly organized cabinet.

"Please fill in your information."

Katheryne handed the registration logbook and a quill to the young man in front of her.

Li Qiuzhi took both items, placing the registration logbook on the counter of the reception desk. The quill was quite slender, and since it was his first time holding one, the feel was also quite good.

He quickly filled in his name, current address, and other information, and handed the logbook back to Katheryne.

Katheryne carefully looked through it, then nodded and said with a smile:

"Mr. Li Qiuzhi, from now on you are a member of the Adventurers' Guild.

"You can take on commissions alone from the Adventurers' Guild, or you can join or form an adventuring team to take on high-difficulty commissions together."

[Katheryne's friendship towards you has increased, you gained 30 Friendship points, current Friendship level Lv.1 (30/100)]

Huh?!

Li Qiuzhi looked slightly surprised. Wasn't Katheryne a bionic doll? She actually had friendship too? Could it be that she really possessed her own consciousness or wisdom?

Mm-mm... Whoever felt friendship toward him was a good thing anyway.

"Miss Katheryne, what conditions are required to form an adventuring team?" Li Qiuzhi asked curiously.

Li Qiuzhi knew that in the original game, Bennett had his own "Bennett's Adventuring Team", but because he was so unlucky, the adventurers who joined his team couldn't stay for very long.

After all, when gathering a Sweet Flower in the wild, such a simple commission would inexplicably turn out to be disguised by a Whopperflower; nobody could stand having that happen a few times.

Li Qiuzhi was thinking that if he also formed an adventuring team, grinding Experience Points might become much easier then.

"There are no special requirements to form an adventuring team, as long as you can find like-minded partners."

Katheryne answered with gentleness and refinement.

"I see." Li Qiuzhi nodded understandingly, then asked, "Are there many commissions from the Adventurers' Guild for clearing out monsters?"

If the Adventurers' Guild provided the locations of monsters, he wouldn't need to search everywhere, which was obviously a huge waste of time.
