Chapter 1249: Back To The Adventurer's Guild
[Your Party have slain [Golden Tusked Wild Boar (Tier 4 ~ 5)] x52!]
[You earned 780.000 EXP!]
I ended earning EXP despite not even participating in the fight, as usual with this System. Mist is part of the party, so anything she hunts is also shared to me in terms of EXP, even if I only get around 30% of the EXP if I don't do anything.
It still pretty good nonetheless, 780k is more than I could have ever asked. Now I have so much EXP I don't even know what to do with it. Probably spend it all improving my Civilization, or in that Civilization Shop, or perhaps on leveling a lot of skills.
Though, the stronger the skills, the more EXP they'll need to level up, so it's not like even with the current sum I have, I could easily just max all of my skills levels, not at all. Nonetheless, that'll be left for another time, it's not really anything of concern right now.
"We're back!"
We stepped inside the Adventurer's Guild after our short trip, we ended taking roughly forty minutes hunting everything, so it was considered rather quick by everyone else.
"You're back already?!" Saphira almost had a heart attack. "Wait, did you hunt everything in less than an hour? T-That's- Aah, you really did!"
She screamed the moment I showed her what was inside of Glutton.
"Yep, the Venomous Wyvern nest is no more, we made sure to also fill it back with dirt and stones, so it won't become a threat for people that might be passing by and end up falling," I explained.
"Yeah, I also hunted all the boars, they're inside little Glutton!" Mist nodded.
"You did?! Just little Mist alone?" Saphira wondered.
"Yep!" Mist nodded pridefully. "I did it all, hehe!"
"She has gotten much stronger, actually," I said. "Believe her, she's really strong."
"Woah, even little Mist has become so strong... I remember seeing all of you like seven years ago, you were so tiny! Now look at you, you're all over fifteen, right? It's amazing how fast time goes!" Saphira smiled.
"Yeah, time goes fast for young people, or so I heard my mom say sometimes," I giggled. "Well! Not everyone's that big though, lil' Zephy here is still growing up!"
"Hey! I'll get big soon enough, big sis!" he pouted cutely. "You'll see!"
"Heheh, I would rather you stay baby forever, Zephy, you're so cute," Celica giggled, petting his head.
Zephy froze a bit after she said that, feeling both embarrassed and slightly heartbroken. I hope she doesn't keep that mentality forever. Zephy will one day grow up into a very handsome young man, I hope, I really hope Celica understands his feelings by then!
"Heheh, indeed! At least our young master Zephyrus is still very cute and small!" Saphira also gave him a head pat. "Anyways, come with me, let's assess everything in the guild's backyard. I'll bring some personnel to help you butcher things if you want."
"Thank you!" I nodded. "We would really appreciate some help."
Like that, we spent the next twenty minutes solely assessing everything, there were lots of monster corpses, the venomous wyverns and then the golden tusked boars.
They helped us butcher and also directly sell some of our spoils too, as the local alchemists needed some materials only obtainable from the venomous wyverns, such as their venom glands to synthetize into antidotes, and so on.
The boar tusks, bones, and hides were also in high demand, and with Mist's permission, as these were her kills, we mostly sold all of them too, except we kept some of the golden tusks and the meat.
Naturally, Mist hunted all of them, so she got to keep all the earnings, which ended being more money than she expected.
"Here it is, this is the money of the boars, and this is the money of the wyverns, I will bring you the prize of completing both quests now, please wait a bit~" Saphira quickly ran downstairs, probably where the storage of the guild was located.
"Woah, how much money is this?!" Mist wondered, as I quickly stored the meat inside my inventory.
I could either leave Glutton to pick up things for me, or I can personally place them in the system-adjacent inventory, which is actually connected to glutton's own internal space. The former was faster but the later wouldn't leave things with Glutton's drool. Well, sometimes, my cute Glutton isn't as nasty.
"Didn't you hear Saphira?" I wondered. "For selling all those products from 52 Boars, you earned roughly three million and four hundred thousand gold, I think!"
"S-So much money?!" Mist gasped. "I remember that I was so poor back then, to think I would begin earning so well out of nowhere!"
"It's just thanks to the strength you've forged, Mist," Aquarina patted her shoulders. "Also those boars are quite expensive, aren't they high tiered? Any high tiered monster materials sell good. The thing is, we can't just overhunt them just for our own personal gain."
"Yeah, just as she said," I nodded. "I wish she could have learned that back then in the Sunstone Plateau where she hunted those goats a lot for no reason..." I gave her a side-eye.
"I already said I was sorry..." Aquarina sighed.
"Adventurers make a living not only out of hunting monsters but also from gathering materials and doing all sorts of quests and favors to others," Zack said. "Monsters would quickly disappear if they overhunted, so there's always a limit quota of how many can be hunted per season. It is pretty tightly regulated, right?"
"Yeah, if they catch you hunting more than you should, you usually have to pay an expensive fine," I said. "Or you go to jail for a couple of months..."
"Yikes, alright..." Zack nodded. "Thankfully these boars were both overpopulating the area and also were eating all the medicinal herbs, so it was totally justified to hunt so many." "Yeah, the same doesn't apply for invasive species, the venomous wyverns were also invasive and a hazard, so they had to be exterminated completely," I explained.
"So how much we earned from the wyverns?" Celica wondered.
"Hmmm... Roughly five million gold I think, yeah," I counted the gold tablets. "We should divide this between everyone. Well, I'll pass on my share though, I already am earning well
enough."
"Sylphy..." Celica seemed moved.
"I didn't expect that much generosity!" Zack laughed.
"Really big sis?" Zephy wondered.
"You don't really need to!" Aquarina said. "I'll give you my share!"
"Nah, it's fine, really!" I smiled. "Ah, she's back!"
"I'm back with the rewards, everyone, sorry for making you wait!" Saphira greeted us,
coming from the underground storage.
