Fei Lin

"I see… These three groups have great reputations in the town and the rewards are quite generous, but which of these quests should I choose? Doing all three will take a lot of time and will be a lot of work…" Liu Yang sat in a chair in the guild and read the information.

The three employers were wealthy and influential people in Wu Town, but they were also extremely picky about the adventurers they would hire.

"Big sister Xing, is my big brother still not back? It's been almost a month since he went to the swamp." A cute little girl walked up to the counter and asked the waitress who was cleaning. She looked to be about fourteen years old and dressed in common clothes, but her body was a little more developed because of her elven features.

"Little Lin, your big brother hasn't come back yet. We don't know when he'll be back, besides he's an adult adventurer who can take care of himself. You just need to be a good little sister and stay home waiting for him." Sister Xing was one of the waitresses who was working behind the counter. She knew better than to give the little girl her hope, but seeing her like that was too much for her to handle.

"Big sister Xing, you've told me this many times, but my big brother never came back." Little Lin was tired of hearing the same things whenever she asked about this subject.

"Little Lin, you know I can't do anything. If you want to do something, you need to put something as a reward to attract some adventurer." She couldn't do anything because she didn't have the authority to command the adventurers or the wealth to create a quest.

"Big sister Xing, I want to make a quest request to look for my brother in the Swamp of Gbril"

"Ohh… Little Lin, you know it's expensive, right? Even an ordinary quest needs at least a few dozen credits. Besides, it also needs a proper reward, an ordinary adventurer wouldn't just want money for this kind of quest." The waitress didn't want to discourage the little girl, but she thought her brother was already dead because too much time had passed since he left for a mission in the swamp.

"Big sister Xing, I only have this to pay as a reward." The little girl placed a light blue glass ball on the counter, sometimes a faint strong glow could be seen inside.

It was not possible to know what it was without analyzing it properly.

"Little Lin, do you know what this is?" The waitress rarely saw this type of item so she didn't know what it was.

"This was a gift from my father to my mother when they were young, but I don't know what it is. My father said it could help us when we were in danger." The little girl didn't know anything about the item either.

"It makes things a little more difficult for me. Little Lin, how am I going to explain to my customers about the reward if I don't know what it's for?" She became despondent in this situation.

"..." The little girl felt a great sadness in her heart. She had nothing left that could catch the adventurers' attention.

The only item she found important and precious was this crystal ball that she didn't even know the use of, but the thought was precious because it was strange.

"Little girl, do you mind if I take a look at the crystal?" A casual voice echoed from her side.

Looking towards the voice, she saw an ordinary young man sitting at the counter holding a piece of paper.

"Yes, you can." A glint of hope appeared in her eyes. One person showed interest in the item.

Liu Yang took the item for analysis, but he just smiled before handing it back to the little girl.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Fei Lin."

"My name is Liu Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you. Miss Fei, I would like to accept your mission."

"Young master, if you wish to accept this quest other than for the guild, you two just need to talk about the terms in private." The waitress was glad someone accepted the quest but worried because she didn't know Liu Yang or his reputation.

The item offered by Fei Lin might be precious, but there was no use if the person didn't know what it was.

From the way Liu Yang acted, the waitress understood that he knew the item's value.

"That's not necessary. Miss Fei, you can keep this item until I get back from work. Sir, did you decide to choose this job over the other three?" She had heard the earlier conversation between Liu Yang and Amy. So it was normal for her to be shocked to hear his decision.

"Yes."

"This is a private decision. Little Lin, I'm glad you found someone available to take the job"

"Big brother, thank you" She showed a beautiful pure smile on her face.

"Just thank me when I bring your brother back"

"Mr. Liu, I advise you to take antidotes because in the swamp there are all kinds of poisonous creatures"

"Thanks for the advice" Liu Yang prepared to leave, but something happened first.

"HAHAHA!!!! Boss, look for the item in that little girl's hands!!! Isn't that what you were looking for? That's very lucky!"
