After clicking "confirm," Luo Ya adjusted the time scale, which took a considerable amount of time-space power.
Feeling that it was about time, Luo Ya clicked "confirm." But the instant Luo Ya clicked "confirm," a tremendous force struck the back of Luo Ya's head.
Even with Luo Ya's physique, he was still dizzy from that punch, and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
But after the pain came an intense feeling of weightlessness, which was three or four times more uncomfortable than when traversing Aqua's world. It was like putting an ordinary person on a spinning wheel and spinning them thirty or forty times.
After Roya finally adjusted to the dizziness, he opened his eyes to find the world had undergone a complete transformation.
After the dizziness subsided, all I could hear was a cacophony of sounds.
The noisy crowd around him was particularly irritating to Luo Ya, especially after he had just experienced the transmigration.
Suppressing the rising restlessness in his heart, Luo Ya rubbed his temples and began to look around.
Before Luo Ya could look for long, he heard a young woman's voice again.
"Sir, are you going to become an adventurer?"
Luo Ya was slightly taken aback. Following the gaze of the source of the voice, he saw a pretty young girl in a uniform.
Seeing that Luo Ya was still in a daze, the girl frowned slightly and repeated herself.
"Sir, are you going to become an adventurer?"
Roya was somewhat confused by the situation before him, and finally muttered, "Adventurers?"
Luo Ya was full of questions; he had no idea where the system had put him.
Upon hearing Roya's words, the girl behind the counter nodded slightly and said, "Yes, adventurer."
Recalling this term again left Roya speechless.
What is adventure? Adventure is engaging in a highly free activity that involves risks, regardless of the dangers involved.
So, what is an adventurer? An adventurer is someone who explores dungeons, accepts quests, hunts monsters, and roams dangerous areas.
These guys are somewhat similar to mercenaries from my previous life. As long as you pay them, they will help you complete the mission and receive a commission.
But now, Roya has come in and is about to become an adventurer.
Wasn't the identity I chose to be a magician?
Luo Ya pondered in his mind, but sighed inwardly.
It seems that adventurers exist in every world.
However, at this moment, the other burly men sitting nearby spoke up mockingly: "Hey kid, you look so quiet and gentle, yet you want to become an adventurer? If not, you should go back to your mother's womb and drink milk."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and the scrutinizing gazes of the surrounding crowd all focused on Luo Ya.
He glanced at the big man and added a sentence to his mind.
It seems that no matter what world you're in, there will always be some fools who want to die.
Roya did not fly into a rage at the burly man's sarcastic remarks. He looked at his own attire, which was that of a simple magic apprentice. He held a wooden staff in his right hand and wore a white mage's hat, the symbol of a magic apprentice.
Roya's current identity is that of a mage apprentice, but this mage apprentice seems to have plans to become an adventurer.
Seeing that Roya ignored him, the adventurers whistled and continued to watch with expressions of anticipation as Roya tried to do something.
The girl at the counter began processing Roya's adventurer paperwork, and soon she took something out from under the counter.
It was a small brass pendant that could be worn around the neck.
The girl handed the small bronze plaque to Roya and explained, "This is an identification plaque used to judge an adventurer's abilities and determine their adventurer level."
Seemingly noticing Roya's confusion, the saleswoman continued to explain, "There are eight types of identification tags, each made of a different metal. They are copper, iron, silver, gold, platinum, mithril, orogen, and stainless steel. The more metal used in the tag, the higher its grade and value."
"Holding a higher-level identification badge not only means a rise in status, but also better treatment. Specifically, it means being able to choose more challenging jobs and earn more money."
Hmm, it seems like adventurer guilds, no matter how varied they are, are basically all the same thing.
According to the girl, Roya's current level is the lowest, so he can't accept higher-level tasks. In other words, he has to start doing odd jobs.
Sure enough, the girl's next few words confirmed Roja's idea.
"You are now at the lowest rank, bronze, which is the bronze-level adventurer."
The girl paused here, then continued, "Completing a certain number of tasks and improving your own rating will allow you to upgrade your identification tag."
"We look forward to your continued outstanding performance."
The last sentence was undoubtedly just a polite remark. Roya shrugged, tugged at his mage hat, and prepared to leave.
The mage's hat was pulled down slightly, which could cover most of Roya's outline. However, even so, the arrogant adventurers around him would mock Roya and call him a pretty boy when they saw him.
That's a really infuriating title.
Roya's pale golden eyes swept over everyone, and after sensing the magic power and physical attributes within their bodies, Roya sighed.
His magic power is alright; he can use a considerable portion of it. However, his physical constitution is suppressed, seemingly to ensure that Roya uses magic honestly and doesn't think about anything else. This time, his physical abilities are severely restricted.
It seems that it can still be used for a moment.
The ability in terms of talent has not been greatly weakened, but the combination of the Light Blade and Setsuna is a burden that the current body cannot withstand.
Although Setsuna is the king of melee combat, he has many other clever uses.
For example, instant-cast King-level magic, and other magic that requires chanting, Roya can almost always activate it in an instant and then properly guide it to achieve instant casting.
The higher the level of magic, the longer the preparation time required. Even with Roya's strength, he can only save the preparation time required for low-level magic. Once it involves Emperor-level or higher magic, or if he wants to unleash the full power of magic, he must start chanting incantations to guide it.
There is no way around it.
After accepting the bronze medal, Roya simply nodded slightly in thanks and prepared to leave.
He didn't wear the bronze medal around his neck; he planned to first see the world around him.
But trouble always comes faster than expected.
The burly man who had provoked Roya earlier walked up to Roya, his hideous scars twitching. He revealed a malicious smile and extended his hand to Roya, inviting him, "Hey, newbie, why don't you join my team? I'm an Iron-rank adventurer, a real senior. Follow me, and I'll save you a lot of trouble."
As soon as the burly man spoke, the surrounding adventurers quickly began whispering among themselves again.
"That cannibal is at it again. That guy always does this, he likes to bully newbies."
"This newcomer is in for a rough time."
"Tsk, let's have three seconds of silence for him."
It seems this isn't the first time this guy has done something like this.
Luo Ya sighed, somewhat helplessly, and said, "Why are there always so many people in this world who want to die?"
"What are you saying? Are you provoking me? Provoking a senior like me who is an Iron-rank adventurer?"
Upon hearing this, the burly man's expression changed drastically. He rushed towards Roya with a fierce but weak expression, reaching out to grab Roya's collar. However, the next moment, before the burly man's hand could even touch Roya's clothes, the magic wand in his hand slammed down hard on the burly man's forehead.
Luo Ya was quite strong; his blow was fast and powerful, causing the burly man to stagger and a red mark to appear on his head as he slammed to the side.
Roya didn't stop. He aimed a kick at the burly man's abdomen. Roya restrained most of his strength, but the kick still sent the man flying.
Everyone in the room fell silent instantly, and all eyes turned to Luo Ya and the burly man.
No one could have imagined that such a thin and frail boy would possess such explosive power.
Besides, isn't he a magician? Shouldn't a wand be used for casting spells? Why is the other person using it to hit someone?
Everyone's expressions were strange. Just then, the girl at the counter quickly spoke up: "Um, please don't fight in the Adventurers' Guild."
"Oh," Luo Ya replied casually, and walked towards the direction the burly man was heading.
However, at this moment, another burly and ferocious-looking guy suddenly appeared.
This was a dwarf, wearing a helmet made of steel, with a long beard, short but very strong limbs, especially his arms. Just by looking at the muscles in his arms, one could feel his formidable strength. He held an axe in his hand, and his whole being exuded an aura of shrewdness.
Roya frowned, looked at the guy lying on the ground, then at the dwarf in front of him, and sighed, "What, are you looking for trouble too?"
The dwarf didn't speak, but silently took a few steps forward and blocked Roya's path.
The saleswoman couldn't help but shout, "Hey, can you please stop fighting? You'll have to pay for the damages you cause!"
However, everyone present seemed to be watching a good show, completely disregarding the counter lady.
"Honestly, really! Every day it's the same people. I really want to quit this job!" The counter lady looked quite helpless and started complaining.
Just when everyone thought the dwarf was about to give Roya a good beating, the dwarf's body flew off the ground like a cannonball.
He smashed several tables at the Adventurers' Guild along the way, and finally lay down next to the guy known as the cannibal.
"So, I'm very busy, so please don't come looking for trouble for no reason."
Chapter 388 YGGDRASIL
Roya's expression also turned displeased. His pale golden eyes swept over everyone present, his gaze lingering on the spot where the dwarf had just come out.
Behind that spot, two other adventurers were staring at Roya with sinister expressions.
“The weak should act like the weak. If I were to encounter you in the wild, I would kill you on the spot.”
With a blank expression, Roya spoke these words as he approached the dwarf.
The dwarf's abdomen was broken by the kick, breaking several of his ribs. He was very strong and wore armor, so he naturally used a bit more force to finish off his opponent in one blow and prevent him from bothering him again.
