Soon, Ye Feng drove away with Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying, while Wu Ye Lin stayed put, waiting for the previously departed Liu Lao Tou.
“Miss, according to the information provided by the people I dispatched earlier, there are no abnormalities in the Adventurer's Guild for now!”
“However, judging from the situation when we returned to the Adventurer’s Guild, the many disturbances were too coincidental. It’s likely someone didn’t want us to return to the Adventurer’s Guild so soon!”
In a short while, Liu Lao Tou returned.
“En!”
Wu Ye Lin’s expression was somewhat worried. She nodded slightly, glanced at Lei Jian, who was leading the adventure team towards the city gate in the distance, and said, “Lei Jian is in charge of the adventure team’s supplies. We’ll go see Grandpa!”
…
On the other side,
Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying didn’t rush into the Adventurer’s Guild territory. Instead, they drove the Hummer around the vicinity.
“Big Brother, there are such tall city walls around the Adventurer’s Guild. I can’t see inside! ~”
In the Hummer, Xiao Xiao mumbled.
“Those city walls have reserved passages, and more than one. But they are not open now, probably for emergency situations!”
Qiao Ying chimed in.
“Roar! ~”
As the Hummer’s engine sound gradually decreased, Ye Feng and the other two arrived at the foot of a mountain peak.
“This mountain peak is the highest place nearby, we can observe the situation inside the city walls! ~”
With that, Ye Feng opened the Hummer’s door, and Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying also got out.
…
“Halt!”
“Halt!”
Not long after Ye Feng and the two began to climb the mountain, at a strategically advantageous location, not far from a cement structure resembling a bunker, two burly men holding arcane energy rifles stopped them.
“You are adventurers, you’ve taken the wrong path, you’re not allowed up here!”
One of the older guards shouted at Ye Feng.
“Huh? So quickly we’ve encountered a place where we can’t pass freely?”
Ye Feng was a little speechless. He reached out and took out the golden token Wu Ye Lin had given him. “Oh, we have a pass token!”
Upon hearing this, the older guard walked closer to Ye Feng’s position, while the younger guard behind him became serious, staring intently at Ye Feng.
“Distinguished guest, we are very sorry, but we still cannot let you pass here!”
After checking Ye Feng’s token, the older guard returned it to Ye Feng. His tone was quite respectful, but he still did not allow Ye Feng to pass.
“What the heck~”
Ye Feng was even more speechless. Wu Ye Lin had just told him that the token could grant him access to most areas of the Adventurer’s Guild, and now he was being blocked…
“Alright then~!”
Ye Feng sighed and turned to leave with Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying.
“Ye Feng, this mountain peak, along with the one opposite, are the highest points in this area. They offer a clear view of the surroundings, whether it’s enemy attacks or anything else!”
“The Adventurer’s Guild must have set up warning outposts on top, and possibly some defensive measures. It’s a vital department, so it’s normal they wouldn’t let newcomers like us up…”
Qiao Ying pointed to the mountain peak opposite them and said.
“En, that should be the case~”
Ye Feng wholeheartedly agreed. He had also seen the first point and wanted to go up to observe.
…
Afterward, Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying got back into the Hummer and drove towards the Adventurer’s Guild gate.
…
The gate of the Adventurer’s Guild was grand, but there were too many adventurers coming to the guild, making it very crowded.
After a while, Ye Feng and the other two passed through the gate, above which hung a plaque with the large characters “Adventurer’s Guild” inscribed in bold script, and they did so without their vehicle.
Although there was a dedicated driving lane for those with fewer people, where one could enter by paying only 10 arcane coins, Ye Feng did not do so. It wasn’t that he lacked arcane coins, but rather he wanted to be like ordinary adventurers and avoid being targeted as soon as he arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild…
“Bang~! Crack~! Ah! ~”
Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out from the crowd. A young man with a lewd expression had his arm twisted by Qiao Ying and was struck to the ground.
Ye Feng felt no sympathy for this. Although the three of them had passed through the gate, the area was still crowded, and some people had taken liberties with Qiao Ying and Xiao Xiao’s…
“You… you bitch, how dare you hit me, do you know who I am… Ah~!”
Before the lewd young man could finish his words, another piercing scream erupted, as Ye Feng kicked him away.
“Let’s go! ~”
Seeing the crowd starting to gather around them, Ye Feng quickly pulled Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying away.
…
In the evening,
“Big Brother, this place is really nice, more prosperous than Mech City, and there are many more people!”
“And they even sell ice cream~! It’s just a bit lacking in sweetness~”
Xiao Xiao, eating an ice cream cone, was quite surprised. There was nothing like this in Mech City before.
“En!”
Ye Feng nodded, looked at a building by the roadside where the lights were already on, and said, “Let’s go in and take a look~”
“Oh, okay~”
…
“Welcome, few young adventurers, to Meow Meow Adventurer’s Guild!”
As the three entered, a plump middle-aged man greeted them and asked Ye Feng and the others, “You must be tired from your journey. Would you like to dine or stay?”
“What do you have to eat?”
Ye Feng, who was hungry, replied, without paying attention to the somewhat strange name of the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Here is the menu, please come this way!”
The plump middle-aged man handed Ye Feng a paper wrapped in plastic film while gesturing for him to follow.
“Eh~! There’s beef brisket stew, black chicken soup, hairy crabs, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, oysters, roujiamo…”
After Ye Feng sat down, he looked at the menu items with some surprise.
“Adventurer, these dishes are standard from before the Great Cataclysm, not the fake stuff outside!”
As he spoke, the plump middle-aged man pointed to a waiter who was pushing a food cart and serving dishes not far away.
“Oh, okay, this… this… and this, please bring one of each…”
Ye Feng glanced at the dishes on the food cart and immediately began ticking them off on the menu.
“Adventurer, this… so many dishes… you will need to pay three layers of the food cost in advance…”
Although the plump middle-aged man could tell that Ye Feng and the other two were not ordinary, the number of dishes Ye Feng ordered was large, and they were all very expensive. He was a little unsure…
“Oh, sure~”
Ye Feng nodded and took out the survival coin given by the system…
“Alright, this way, please!”
Seeing the amount on the survival coin in Ye Feng’s hand, the plump middle-aged man’s eyes lit up, and he quickly led Ye Feng towards the counter…
