Four days after the confirmation of the Beigong Squad’s extinction, under Mira Belle’s countless disturbances, Branch President Obel finally issued the S Level guild bounty as Mira Belle requested.

Mira Belle really had no choice, since Obel was about to be transferred and didn’t care, but she’s still here!

When the new branch president arrives and sees that such a big issue had no action from the guild, it would lose a lot of adventurer support for nothing.

Everyone would be seen as lazy, and this could be used as a reason for a big personnel change, replacing everyone with the new president’s own people.

She still plans to rely on her seniority to eventually get a cushy retirement position at the headquarters!

So she could only continuously bother Obel, not letting him enjoy his drinks comfortably until he posted the bounty.

Fortunately, it’s finally done, although it took a bit more time.

As for whether anyone will complete it afterwards?

That’s not Mira Belle’s concern, as long as she’s gone through the guild task release process, she has done her duty.

There are three types of tasks at the Adventurer’s Guild.

One is a bounty task entrusted by others, covering a wide variety of types, from escorts to gathering, from rescues to hunting specific targets.

After a preliminary evaluation by the guild, a deposit and commission fee is paid, and then it will be posted on the task board, this is also the type of task most adventurers take.

Another type is long-term commissions issued by the guild, usually focused on collecting various materials, referred to as tasks, but actually more like an almost infinite acquisition.

The acquisition price is generally equivalent to the market floor price, adventurers would choose to sell to the guild when there’s nowhere else to sell ordinary materials.

The last type is the guild’s special commission task, known to adventurers as guild bounties.

These are generally issued when the Adventurer’s Guild feels that some matters must be dealt with, an incentivized bounty is released.

Task levels are at least A Level and above.

Its characteristics, apart from being urgent or difficult, also include a very generous reward…

Under the rotating task board illuminated by magical radiance, many adventurers who got wind of it had already gathered.

They were not here to accept the task, just simply to witness the spectacle.

“As expected, it’s S Level!”

This was not beyond everyone’s expectations, after all, an entire Gold Level squad was wiped out, if it’s not S Level, what is it?

Some even speculated it might be an S+ task, though this guess did not have much of an audience.

The Purple Crystal Dungeon hasn’t seen an S+ guild bounty in at least a decade, even the last S Level task was three years ago when somehow a Flesh Master emerged on the ninth floor.

That thing wasn’t too strong for Diamond Levels, but the entire ninth floor was its flesh, hard to kill, and the most crucial point was it blocked the passages, forcing the guild to issue an S Level large-scale sweep task.

Nine Diamond Level experts organized to divide and suppress it, finally eliminating the core.

That kind of “large-scale sweep task” was completely different from this “exploration.”

As for an S+ task?

Like legends, there are many rumors but none of them have reference value, the truth is probably only found in the guild’s database.

“The gold coins don’t seem to be much either!”

An adventurer seeing an S Level guild bounty for the first time felt the reward was too little.

They’ve seen privately issued S Level tasks a few times, not mentioning the special situation of rescuing a Duke’s Daughter that adventurers still talk about.

Even the more routine one, the collection of werewolf fangs before the Demon Tide, a single fang was rewarded with 10 gold, meaning at least 40 gold per werewolf.

It should be noted, that even werewolves of the tenth floor are not all Level 50, most are just around 40+.

The Beigong Squad could try to earn that if they pushed hard.

Compared to that, the gold coin reward for this bounty indeed seemed not much.

However, the one who thought the gold coins were little was soon laughed at by the surrounding people.

“You fool, you probably don’t know what that Level 2 exchange coupon means, do you? Just fixated on the gold coins, pathetic!”

“Well… Well, you say, what can this exchange coupon be exchanged for?” the person retorted indignantly.

“A Level 2 exchange coupon allows you to pick any piece of B Level equipment from the guild warehouse! Do you understand the value of ’any’?”

*Hiss*——

Those hearing this news for the first time couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

B Level equipment, that’s at least skill equipment, having one would already make a Gold Level adventurer enviable.

’Any’ significantly increased the value of this reward.

After all, skill equipment is one of those things that’s hard to find at any price; finding one that perfectly matches oneself is not easy, but the guild warehouse can undoubtedly meet such a need.

“Then there must be exchange coupons for other levels too!”

Seeing someone ask, the one speaking enjoyed the attention and generously shared this not-so-secret information:

“Of course there are, Level 3 exchange coupons can only get you attribute equipment or less practical skill equipment.

Level 1 exchange coupons are quite impressive, Fire Knight Qunsi’s Flaming Dragon Slash, Cang Bow Vland’s Light of Mutsuki, both A Level equipment can be acquired with a Level 1 exchange coupon!”

Someone asked: “Is there any S Level equipment?”

“S Level?

Officially, there’s no such thing as S Level equipment, if you really have to say what counts as S Level, the mythical Hero’s Sword probably is.

But that sword disappeared with the Hero long ago, just a legend.”

For a time, everyone in the hall vigorously discussed the various skill equipment they knew as if they too could own one.

The lively atmosphere in the guild hall lasted from day to night, yet this bounty remained untouched…

Until late at night, after the guild sign Helena had gotten off work.

A man dressed as luxurious as a noble stepped into the hall, went straight to the task board, and took down the guild bounty.

When the bounty was handed over to the counter, the girl on the night shift recognized this person.

“Mr. Edin?”

The handsome presence made the girl blush a bit, but she still dutifully said:

“Sir, your adventurer level is sufficient, but this exploration task has a high danger level, requiring at least three people to undertake.”

Edin nodded lightly, indicating he understood, then beckoned towards the entrance, and his teammates walked in.

“That’ll do.” The girl took the identity cards of the three, swiftly completed the registration, “Mr. Edin, the mission exclusive period is 5 days, if no settlement is submitted after 5 days, the mission might be reposted, you understand.”

All common procedures that Edin was naturally aware of.

Taking the identity cards, saying goodbye to the love-struck receptionist behind him, Edin walked out of the guild hall alone.

Took out a small bag of Green Mushrooms from his pocket — some relaxation is always needed before work.
