"Stop! Otherwise, you will be considered a huge threat to us!" The goblin captain's expression grew increasingly serious as he watched the giant foot approach. He gripped his sword hilt and shouted.
The goblins had already drawn their longswords and raised their mage staffs, a battle seemed imminent!
But just then, the forest troll, who had been ignoring everything and raising its right leg to stomp on the goblin squad, seemed to suddenly sense something. It stopped abruptly, glanced down at the goblins at its feet, scratched its head, turned aside, and continued walking in.
"Captain, I think that Big Guy is insulting us!" the first goblin to draw his sword said angrily, looking like he was about to rush up and slash him a couple of times.
"Let's go. Fighting is not allowed near the Chaos Guild. Otherwise, you'll be permanently disqualified from membership. That Big Guy just has hearing problems." The captain released his grip on the longsword, said calmly, and led the way.
"But…" the young man tried to speak.
"Let's go. Do you really think you can fight him?" A middle-aged goblin beside him gently patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
"I..." The young man glanced back at the massive back of the forest troll, hesitated for a moment, but still chose to hurry up and follow, looking somewhat dejected.
"Rules, order, strength and weakness... Interesting." Mai Ge watched this scene with a slight smile. If it was somewhere else, he probably would have watched a battle first before going in.
"Let's go." Mai Ge took Amy's little hand and continued walking inside.
"Daddy, if that Big Guy had fought with those little ones, who would have won?" Amy asked Mai Ge, looking up at him with curiosity.
"May be the Big Guy will win." Mai Ge said with a laugh.
"But Little Red Riding Hood and the others are many more." Amy was still a little confused.
"True strength is the ability to make people back down without uttering a sound." Mai Ge shook his head.
"Oh." Amy nodded thoughtfully, turned back to look at the departing goblins, and said with a smile, "They were very brave, weren't they? The Big Guy gave way to them."
"Yes." Mai Ge was a little surprised by Amy's perspective, but upon reflection, it really made no mistake.
"Wow, what a huge house!" Amy exclaimed as soon as they entered the main hall, her eyes wide as she looked around.
There was also a hint of surprise in Mai Ge's eyes. Although he had all of Mai Ge • Alex's memories of the Chaos Guild, but he was still amazed by the superb architectural skills of the otherworldly craftsmen when he actually saw it with his own eyes.
The entire hall has two floors, with a layer of gray every ten meters, making it look like a busy airport. In the middle, there are magic crystal walls that scroll information. Mercenaries and adventurers of various races look up at the numbered missions, and after selecting the appropriate one, they go to the registration desk next to it to register for the mission.
There are dozens of such crystal walls. The Mercenary Guild has already categorized the information in advance, publishing it in sections such as daily life, combat, spirit beasts, materials, and ingredients.
For example, the daily tasks section usually posts tasks like debt collection, finding pets, and taking care of children. Mai Ge even saw a task to send flowers to a girl the person liked, with a reward of ten copper coins, which was quickly claimed by a little girl.
Mai Ge led Amy to the ingredients section and began searching intently with his head tilted back.
The ingredients section was quite lively. In front of two five meters high magic crystal panels, many mercenaries stood, including elves, humans, orcs, and demons. Some were in groups of three or five, while others were alone, all choosing suitable tasks.
In the Chaos City, some restaurants like to serve food made from high level magical beasts, and customers, driven by curiosity, will try it even if it's expensive and tastes mediocre.
It's similar to how the wealthy people in his previous life ate wild animals, except that in this other world, no one protects these animals, and they have to rely on themselves for protection.
High level magical beasts, due to their immense strength, command exceptionally high bounties. For instance, the top-ranked level eight magical beast, the Three-Headed Silver-Maned Leopard, has a bounty of 10,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to half a month's net profit for the Restaurant Mai Mi.
Further down, level seven, level six, level five... all sorts of magical beasts are listed, with prices clearly marked, allowing Mai Ge to see the enormous potential of the foodies in this other world.
After all, someone had offered a bounty for catching two jin (1 kg) of the level one magical beast, the Leafhopper. This deep-fried, dark cuisine was something Mai Ge had avoided back then. He never expected that there would be people in this world who liked it. He just didn't know how to cook it.
With a strange backpack slung over his shoulder, accompanied by a little loli, and without a single weapon in sight, Mai Ge attracted the attention of many mercenaries and adventurers.
It's rare to see someone doing quests with a little loli. They usually stay in the daily tasks section, and occasionally you'll see women doing daily tasks with their children.
However, the ingredients section usually features various ingredients that are not easy to buy in the market, with meat from various monsters being the most common.
Even a level one magical beast can easily take down ten ordinary people. Those Leafhopper that are sold by jin are not to be trifled with. Their cicada wings, which are like dead leaves, can fly out like two throwing knives in a critical moment, easily piercing the throat and killing instantly.
And this guy came without bringing anything, just holding a child's hand?
"Autumn is here, are you planning to take the kid on an autumn outing?" A kind-looking uncle asked Mai Ge with a smile. He couldn't bear to see the little girl being led astray by her seemingly clueless father, so he decided to give her father some pointers.
"Yes, I'm planning to take the kid out of city for a stroll." Mai Ge paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
He didn't really care about the stares from the crowd. Being looked at a few more times wouldn't hurt him, and besides, he had already found the Flaming Chicken quest: Food: Quest No. 256: Capture one wild Flaming Chicken alive, reward 10 gold coins.
"For the autumn outing, head north! There are beautiful views everywhere outside the city. Don't you see Chaos Academy going that way every year for their spring and autumn outings? The scenery is beautiful, and there's no danger. The kid will definitely love it. As for the quests, we can do them anytime. With kids, we should just have fun." The older man frowned, surprised that this guy was actually taking his child on an autumn outing and even planning to take on quest together.
The quests here are not easy, no one posts quests for ingredients that can be bought in the market.
"Okay, I'll take her north next time." Mai Ge nodded with a smile, taking Amy's little hand and walking towards the registration desk. He realized that the rather rugged-looking man was kindly reminding him not to take Amy to dangerous places.
