At this moment, inside the Adventurer Guild, many people were looking at Fang Li and Iris. More precisely, it would be more accurate to say they were looking at Iris.
Even though Iris's body was wrapped in a magician's robe, her noble golden hair and emerald eyes still drew the attention of the majority, causing the shy Iris to subconsciously hide behind Fang Li.
Because of that, Fang Li also entered everyone's field of view, attracting a lot of attention.
Fang Li's appearance, too, had aspects that drew attention, namely, he looked far too casual.
Why "casual," you ask?
Among the adventurers present, every one of them was fully armed, not only equipped with high-level gear, but even those Heroes from modern worlds bore Artifacts on their bodies.
But Fang Li, not only did he not wear any obvious equipment, he wore only casual clothing, and even the weapon at his waist was just a very ordinary-looking sword.
For someone like that, if he claimed to be an adventurer, how could he not be seen as too carefree?
Of course, none of the people here knew that despite Fang Li appearing to be in plain clothes, his gear was in no way inferior to any of theirs. After all, aside from his weapon, as a main Divine Envoy, Fang Li had the privilege of equipping all kinds of gear in the form of Virtual Equipment.
And the Virtual Equipment Fang Li wore on his body were all Rank 4-grade.
Such gear was absolutely not inferior to any high-ranking weapons and armor, just one level below true Artifacts.
Even his weapon, the Moonlight Dagger, and Bo Xie's activation unit were both sheathed at his lower back. However, because both were quite compact, they were entirely hidden beneath his clothes.
So to outsiders, Fang Li just looked like a rookie in casual wear carrying an ordinary sword.
Ignoring the gazes of all the high-level adventurers present, Fang Li led Iris to the front counter.
"Welcome to the Adventurer Guild," The receptionist greeted Fang Li warmly.
"Excuse me, do you need any help?"
Hearing this, Fang Li nodded.
"I'm an adventurer from Axel. I want to officially start accepting quests here." Fang Li said. "Excuse me, what procedures do I need to go through?"
"Yes." The receptionist replied. "Since this is the Royal Capital, the surrounding area is not only filled with high-level monsters, but the Demon King's Army is also active here. Therefore, almost all quests are of high difficulty. If you wish to take on quests here, the minimum requirement is Level 30."
One must reach Level 30 to accept quests.
That's the minimum requirement of the Royal Capital's Adventurer Guild.
And Level 30, which already places you in the ranks of first-class adventurers. Even in the Royal Capital, not all adventurers could reach this level.
Still, the Adventurer Guild enforced this strict level requirement.
"At the very least, if you're part of a team, then the team leader must be Level 30. That way, we can at least ensure a baseline level of safety for all adventurers." The receptionist continued, "If you haven't reached Level 30 yet but still want to take on quests, then we recommend you join a team first."
In other words, if you couldn't meet the level requirement yourself, you'd have to possess enough ability to be recognized by a team of high-level adventurers and be accepted into their team, in order to take on quests.
It was precisely because of this level restriction that Fang Li had previously gone to Axel and only accepted quests there.
Fortunately, Fang Li now met the requirements.
At that moment, Fang Li took out his Adventurer Card, which he wore like a pendant.
Naturally, the sparkling ring that hung alongside it was also briefly revealed.
"Ah…"
Standing nearby, Iris let out a soft sound.
That little voice was filled with happiness and joy. It seemed that the sharp-eyed Iris had already spotted the ring she had given Fang Li.
At the same time, Fang Li had already handed his Adventurer Card to the receptionist.
"I've already reached the required rank. Can I accept quests directly now?"
Hearing this, the receptionist took the card from Fang Li and began verifying it.
"Your rank is already Level 35, which definitely meets the minimum requirement. And your ability parameters…" The receptionist exclaimed in surprise, "So high! Every one of your ability stats is way above the Level 30 average!"
The receptionist's outburst caused many of the adventurers who had been observing them to look over in surprise. But it wasn't long before the receptionist's expression froze, and with great shock, blurted out: "Magic Power is… zero?! And you're… Classless?! H-How is that even possible?!"
With that one line, the entire Adventurer Guild fell into a moment of silence.
After a few seconds, a wave of confused and doubtful voices started to rise.
"Classless?"
"So that means… no class at all?"
"No way…"
"How can someone not have a class?"
"And with zero magic power too? That's insane!"
Voices like these echoed one after another from all directions.
Instantly, Fang Li became the center of attention, surrounded by the voices of countless adventurers.
And the gazes directed at Fang Li went from surprised to doubtful and even included some that were undisguisedly scornful.
But all of these reactions were well within Fang Li's expectations. So Fang Li completely ignored them, his expression calm and composed.
He simply said to the receptionist: "Since you've confirmed my rank, I'm good to go accept a quest, right?"
"Y-Yes." The receptionist finally seemed to come to her senses. She handed the Adventurer Card back to Fang Li, and after a moment of hesitation, advised: "Even though your rank meets the requirement, I still recommend finding a party. Your ability stats are very high, yes, but with zero magic power and no class, it could be quite dangerous."
"Thank you for your concern." Fang Li smiled faintly and said, "I'll act within my limits."
With that, Fang Li retrieved his Adventurer Card, and together with Iris, walked toward the bulletin board filled with posted quest commissions.
"…Um." It was only then that Iris spoke softly: "You…"
"What is it?" Fang Li said directly. "Surprised I'm Classless?"
"Mhm." Iris nodded, but then quickly shook her head and said: "I was surprised… but I know you're not weak at all. On the contrary, you're really amazing."
After all, Fang Li had real achievements to his name.
"So, I won't be joining any other party. Actually, I already have a party," Fang Li said, glancing at Iris. "Today, you're one of my teammates. So you'd better follow orders properly."
"Yes!" Iris replied happily and energetically.
