A few minutes after the battle, Su Jin heard another commotion coming from afar.

Su Jin saw a group of female players with Rosette Guild’s title when he turned around. Scarlet Rose was among them, and she was leading the way.

The female players held weapons in their hands and their defensive formation.

“Heavenly Cloud, are you alright? I heard that the three guilds besieged you at the entrance, and they almost killed you. The girls in our guild will protect you every day if you join our guild. I can also accomplish dungeons by your side.”

Scarlet Rose immediately rushed over with her players when she heard Su Jin was in trouble, preparing to take the opportunity to recruit him into Rosette Guild.

However, she was in a puzzle when she saw no one other than them, “Where are the guild players? Could it be that they don’t want to have a conflict with my guild and fled before I come?”

“But there are so many people. Why haven’t I seen any of them retreating?”

Su Jin was speechless when he heard Scarlet Rose’s words. No wonder some said not everyone was perfect. Scarlet Rose was a little silly and overconfident.

Of course, Scarlet Rose had the right to assume that. In the previous battle against Boss, the four guilds had retrieved their levels, but Rosette Guild still had the most equipment.

Rosette Guild could fight against any of those three guilds. They could even be the leading guild in the Novice Village if they join forces with one of those guilds.

However, Scarlet Rose sacrificed her precious time slaying the monsters to rescue him. It touched Su Jin.

Even though she had come with a purpose, she was still a kindhearted player. After all, everything had a price to pay in this world. Everyone had their reason to get to know someone.

However, Su Jin did not explain what happened. She would naturally understand when she scrolled through the world chat room.

Su Jin pulled out the trade interface and traded with Scarlet Rose.

“Huh? Why are there so many pieces of equipment? What did you do, Heavenly Cloud? Can you even produce equipment?” Scarlet Rose’s mouth was wide open as she asked in shock.

“It was nothing. I happened to slay a few players with the help of the village chief.”

Su Jin did not explain much about how he got the equipment. After obtaining 22,000 gold coins from Scarlet Rose after trading the equipment, he immediately left the Novice Village. Now that he had multiple guarantees, it was time for him to increase his monster-slaying activity.

…

A few minutes later, Scarlet Rose bit her lips as she immersed herself in her deep thoughts after getting to know what happened from the players in that area. She looked in the direction Su Jin had left. Her mind was in a mess.

She had wanted to recruit Su Jin into the Rosette Guild, but now she hesitated to do so.

An expert like Su Jin was not someone she could lead.

…

The map of the Novice Village was not vast. But there was a small river after leaving the village. Su Jin walked down the river and soon arrived at an abandoned mine.

By the mine was a small wooden house. An NPC guard stood there.

“Brave Adventurer, a group of [ Demonic Apes ] are being bred in the mine. Can you help us get rid of them?” The NPC saw Su Jin coming and asked eagerly.

“Ding! Do you accept the quest [ Clean the Mine ]?”

“Details of the quest: Kill the demonized apes that are being bred and bring the magic stones to get the reward. There is no limit to the number of quest items. For every magic stone you bring back, you will receive 30 experience points and ten silver coins.”

“Yes, I accept,” Su Jin nodded. The reward of the quest was quite satisfying. The experience and coins given were sufficient.

Of course, the [ Demonic Apes ] was difficult to defeat. It was a type of Level 10 monster that lived in groups. It often attacked in a group and seldom stayed alone. In his previous life, hundreds of players had to team up before they dared to accept this quest to gain experience.

However, Su Jin had the experience from his last birth. So he knew another way to avoid being slain.
