"It's appropriate, but there are too many uncertainties."
"Putting aside everything else, there is currently no information on how to find a pirate who is a Devil Fruit user."
"This search process is time-consuming, and the final reward is also uncertain. It may take ten days or half a month of work, but in the end, no one might be satisfied with the reward."
Finn calmly analyzed the disadvantages of this task.
It was true that they were short of money now, and it was really tempting to get a large sum of money at once.
But they could not ignore the effort required to complete this task.
The first was the issue of time. The execution of this task might be very time-consuming. And their need for money was urgent; it would be best to get the funds within the day.
Finally, there was the uncertainty of remuneration, which involved luck.
They were just starting out now, and it was a time when they needed to be steady. It was best not to gamble on luck, otherwise, it might slow down the pace of their development.
"And the most important thing is..."
Finn looked around at everyone: "Do any of you know how to sail a ship?"
"Well..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then looked at each other in confusion before finally reacting. Yes!
Just now they were only thinking about the pros and cons of taking on this task, and hadn't considered whether they could perform it at all.
Damn it! They didn't even know how to sail a boat, so how could they do missions in a world full of oceans?!
Finn said with a mix of laughter and tears: "So, we can't take on this mission for the time being, at least not until we learn to sail."
"Tsk! Pity."
"Hmph! Then let those scumbags live a few more days."
"I have decided that I will learn how to sail a boat from today on, and try to go there and kill those Celestial Dragons as soon as possible."
It was only then that everyone had to feel a little regretful and gave up the idea of taking on this task.
"Please give us another task, preferably one that can be completed on the same day and offers considerable rewards."
Finn shook his head and didn't pay attention to their words. He turned to the girl at the counter and spoke.
"Okay."
The girl at the counter nodded, turned around, pulled out another piece of information, and introduced it.
"Mission: Capture Fantasy Ingredients and Recycle Materials."
"These are two permanent tasks in the short term. At present, Dimensional City has reached a cooperative relationship with the official organizations of the Toriko World and the Reincarnated as a Slime World—the IGO and Tempest."
"You can go to these two worlds and capture local specialties, fantasy ingredients, and monster materials."
"The former is relatively simple. The wilderness in the Toriko World seems to be full of fantasy ingredients."
"Of course, those more common fantasy ingredients do not have much value. What the Dimensional Guild recovers is mainly ingredients with higher difficulty levels."
"The capture level here has been specially rated by the IGO organization in that world. If you accept this task, you can receive corresponding information and some help from the IGO."
"After capturing the ingredients, you need to get them to the IGO organization first, where they will professionally break down and package them, taking a commission. Finally, the remaining parts will be brought back and handed over to the Dimensional Guild in exchange for rewards."
"The latter is almost the same. The Slime World has many similarities with the Danmachi World where you are from, but there are no dungeons. The monsters are in the wild, and they will not disappear after being killed."
"The corpse of the monster is the material, but it also needs to be decomposed. You can choose to decompose it yourself, or you can bring it back and have the Dimensional Guild decompose it on your behalf. Some fees will be charged in that case."
"The final reward depends on the materials obtained after decomposition. After accepting the task, you can receive monster information and a material price list."
"As long as something is gained from the above two tasks, they can be settled on the same day."
...
"Huh! There is actually a world full of delicious food everywhere?"
"I know this. During the previous celebration banquet, a private stove was set up here in Dimensional City, and these fantasy ingredients were used. It was so delicious! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"
"Okay! You went to get some good food and you didn't even call me!"
"Uh... we didn't know that before we went there."
"That's right, it's not our fault. I can only say that my mother (Riveria) was biased and didn't call you."
"Decided! Let's take this mission, Finn! I want to go to this world!"
"Uh... I think it's better to play it safe. It feels like it would be better for us to go to the Slime World."
"Well, I think so too."
After looking at the two pieces of information and listening to the introduction from the girl at the counter, everyone in the Loki Familia started talking again and expressed their opinions one after another.
Looking at the noisy crowd, Finn's head suddenly felt heavy.
"Alright! Stop making noise!"
Finn stopped everyone's discussion and then said:
"Since everyone has different opinions, let's go to both sides. Anyway, we will come back to gather in the evening. Going to both sides can also help us understand the situation in each world."
"Now, those who want to go to the Toriko World stand on the right, and those who want to go to the Slime World stand on the left."
Seeing this, everyone had no objections and made their choices according to their inner thoughts.
Those who wanted to go to the Toriko World were mainly the girls led by Loki: Tiona, Lefiya, and Ais. Those who had tasted the deliciousness of the fantasy ingredients also attracted the hesitant Tione.
There were very few people who wanted to go to the Slime World, only Bete and Gareth. Even if Finn was added, there were only three people.
In this regard, Finn said nothing and silently stood with Bete and Gareth.
There were already five people on the opposite side, and even Loki, a god who would regain her strength as soon as she left the other worlds, so there was nothing to worry about at all. On the contrary, the smaller group needed his participation even more.
"Okay, let's break up the team like this and depart after receiving the mission. No matter what the situation is, we have to come back here to gather in the evening."
"Oh!"
After verifying the number of people and identities, the Dimensional Gate to the target worlds was opened for them.
After completing this process, the two teams went to the two worlds respectively.
There wasn't much to say about Finn and the other two. Because there was no one here to help them, after they were released into the wild, they could only take their information and a map to freely explore.
Loki and the others had much less to worry about.
Although Takumi had captured their hearts with delicious food before, they had not visited other places, so they had no coordinates for other locations. Thus, they were dropped into Granny Setsuno's restaurant.
"Ah, little girls, why are you here?"
Granny Setsuno, who had not received prior notice, was a little surprised by the appearance of the five people.
However, she still recognized them as people from the Danmachi World. Since she had seen them before, she kindly came up to ask about the situation.
