"Excuse me, could you please tell me where the Adventurers Guild is?"
Bai Luo stopped a passerby and asked for the location of the Adventurers Guild, and under their guidance, he found the guild.
The Adventurers Guild in the city was a rather large building. Before even entering, Bai Luo and Egui Peng smelled the aroma of food wafting from inside.
"Peng Peng?"
Egui Peng: "What a fragrant smell, is this a restaurant?"
"The guild here also functions as a tavern; Adventurers can order food here."
While explaining to Egui Peng, Bai Luo led the way and pushed open the guild's large door.
Upon entering the guild, the first thing that came into view was a hall large enough to host a banquet, with neatly arranged long tables.
Although it wasn't yet mealtime, many Adventurer parties had already gathered there, starting to drink and boast.
The bustling sounds made the atmosphere of the entire guild very lively.
"Ah, welcome."
"If you need job introductions, please go to the counter inside. If you need to dine, there are still plenty of empty seats, feel free to sit anywhere."
As soon as the two entered, a female waitress with short red hair kindly greeted them.
Upon seeing the new faces, Adventurers clad in armor, leather, and mage robes all turned to look, their gazes falling on Bai Luo and Egui Peng.
"What is that?"
"A monster?"
"It must be some kind of familiar; it looks so cute."
"Ah, it is indeed quite cute."
"…"
Bai Luo didn't mind; he was a pure human, there was nothing to say.
Egui Peng, however, was quite eye-catching.
There are no creatures like Pokémon in the Konosuba World.
The monsters here, apart from the Demon King's army, have almost no intelligence and are purely beasts.
Additionally, familiars in other worlds can generally be understood as summoned beasts.
Among the Adventurers in the guild, there were also summoner professions, but no one had ever seen a familiar like Egui Peng.
"Peng Peng?"
Being stared at by so many people, Egui Peng shyly hid behind Bai Luo.
And this reaction attracted even more attention.
Especially the exquisitely beautiful young girls, who instantly fell in love with Egui Peng, who resembled a small loli.
Unfortunately, they didn't know Bai Luo and didn't dare to directly come up and ask.
"Let's go, Peng Peng."
Bai Luo took Egui Peng's hand.
He ignored the discussions and gazes of the crowd.
The Adventurers had no ill intent; they were purely curious.
Soon, Bai Luo and Egui Peng crossed the hall and arrived at the counter.
There were four counter staff, two of whom were female employees, and the one Bai Luo chose was the mature blonde older sister from the anime.
"Both of you…"
Miss Luna, the counter receptionist, curiously sized up Bai Luo and Egui Peng: "Ah no, it should be this gentleman, how may I help you?"
Luna originally thought Egui Peng was a human little girl.
There was no way around it; Peng Peng's height was just over a meter.
Converted to a human, she would at most be a seven or eight-year-old loli.
However, upon closer inspection, although Egui Peng's appearance was cute, she could by no means be categorized as human; instead, she looked more like some kind of intelligent monster.
But considering that Egui Peng was very well-behaved, and this was the Adventurers' base camp, Luna didn't think too much of it, simply assuming she was Bai Luo's familiar or summoned beast.
"I want to register as an Adventurer."
"Ah, a newcomer who wants to join, of course, no problem."
Luna said with a smile: "As long as you pay a 1000 eris processing fee, you can proceed with the attribute detection."
"Processing fee…"
"Cough."
Bai Luo realized he didn't seem to have this world's money.
Fortunately, Bai Luo wasn't as nervous as Kazuma and Aqua, but very calmly took out a dog-headed gold nugget he had dug up in the Jura Great Forest from his spirit space and placed it on the counter.
"We came here from a very far place and have spent all our reserved eris along the way. I wonder if the guild can directly trade with gold?"
Gold is a precious metal in most worlds.
So, to prevent the current situation, Bai Luo specially prepared enough gold, minerals, and gems.
Of course, Bai Luo's dog-headed gold nugget had been processed.
Bai Luo analyzed the magic essence concentration in the material, lowering it by several levels before taking it out to exchange for the Konosuba World's currency.
Otherwise, this item in the Konosuba World would only be 'some unknown metal that looks like gold.'
There was no other way; worlds are different, and physical rules vary greatly.
Without processing, Bai Luo wouldn't dare to casually take it out.
"Uh, you, please wait a moment."
Luna was startled by the dog-headed gold nugget Bai Luo took out: "I'll get the detection instrument right away!"
Surprised as she was, Luna didn't hesitate for a second to do what needed to be done.
Just as Bai Luo expected, the Adventurers Guild's functions were versatile; even appraising gold and treasures could be handled here.
"This!!"
However, Bai Luo soon encountered trouble.
"Such, such a strong magic power reaction!"
Luna looked in surprise at the information displayed on the detection instrument. The curvaceous blonde woman said in disbelief: "It's clearly just a piece of gold, but the magic power contained within it is even more than that in high-concentration magic power crystals!"
"Unbelievable!"
"This, could this be gold dug out from a magic crystal mine?"
Not only Luna, but even the gold shop owner who came to appraise the gold was shocked by this piece of gold.
"Uh, well..."
Bai Luo awkwardly scratched his cheek: 'Oh no! It seems there's still too much magic essence left.'
'But I did weaken it to the level of a medium chaotic world!'
It seemed that even among medium chaotic worlds, there were differences in the amount of magic essence they contained.
The Konosuba World should be on the lower end of medium chaotic worlds.
"Can it be exchanged?"
"It can be, yes."
The gold shop owner in charge pushed up his glasses and asked, "The question is, which exchange method do you want to choose?"
"What do you mean?"
"It means, do you intend to exchange it as gold, or as a sufficient amount of magic crystal?"
It was the first time the gold shop owner had encountered such a situation.
You insist on turning perfectly good gold into a magic crystal; young people sure know how to have fun.
"Cough, cough!"
Bai Luo understood and asked, "Which is more expensive?"
"Of course, the magic crystal!"
"Alright, then let's sell it as a magic crystal. Thank you both."
Soon, Bai Luo exchanged this gold nugget for about 3 million eris.
