February 22nd, 720 in Ashtima, Strong Winds

While the entire city of Nielstan continued to sleep under the cover of darkness, there were still some adventurers rushing through the streets. Some had grown accustomed to the daily routine of third-tier missions, while others regretted their rash decisions. Some flew back to the city, while others left quietly.

However, unexpectedly, none of these familiar scenes happened today. Our Vivian, single-handedly, changed the lifeless atmosphere of Nielstan. Just one word of hers was enough to drive all the adventurers crazy. Even if it meant breaking down the gates of the Moonlight Garden or abandoning their missions, some adventurers even mistakenly purchased the 10th item from the alchemist shop in their frenzy to find Vivian. They all clamored for Vivian to accept their gifts.

But, after a short while of being "stuffed" with gifts, Vivian couldn't take anymore. Except for a lucky few like Neigui, Liushi, and Xiaolan, who had smiles of success on their faces, most others regretted their slow reflexes. After about 15 minutes of sharing experiences and trading items, the Adventurer's Guild returned to its usual state. Everyone had a little drink, ate some peanuts, and started a new day.

As the saying goes, "a year's plan starts with spring, and a day's plan starts with the morning." At 8 o'clock in the morning, Sophie was carried into the guild, and Celeste, with whom he had a contract, skillfully cut his wrist and began the rescue measures. As soon as Sophie opened his eyes, he saw the adventurers in the guild discussing him. "Sophie, you've been carried back again?" he didn't reply, but said to the shopkeeper of the alchemist store, "Three bottles of Warm's Healing Potion and one free Life Leaf." He trembled as he took out seven silver coins from his pocket. The onlookers deliberately shouted loudly, "You must have died again!" Sophie widened his eyes and said, "How can you slander me like this without any evidence..." "What evidence? A few days ago, I saw Sisi herself fading away in order to save you." Sophie blushed, veins popping on his forehead, and argued, "A sacrifice doesn't count as death... Can a sacrifice be considered death?" This argument led to laughter from everyone, bringing a lively atmosphere to the guild's morning.

At noon, after sleeping for an hour, Aite walked out of the guild and continued his repeated scamming activities. He checked his backpack and exclaimed, "Oh, a Pickpocket Omen card, this won't do." No one can truly think about two different strategies at the same time unless you are a multi-threaded operating system. But Aite could think about creating mischief much faster than gaining attribute points through grinding. Upon learning that Vivian was looking for Night Fruits in the forest, he secretly stuffed the Pickpocket Omen card into the pocket of a passerby who had just given him some information. After thanking the passerby, he quickly headed to the commercial street for more scamming. This textbook-like combination of punches was mesmerizing to watch. Although he acted meekly and obediently when asking questions, he immediately struck with full force when taking advantage of the Pickpocket Omen card. What kind of behavior was this, exacting revenge for a favor received? However, in this world, what goes around, comes around. It was as if a light bulb lit up on the system's head. After Aite had scammed for a while, the system regretfully announced, "This adventure won't have any mishaps, it will refresh in 60 minutes, so you missed your chance to fail!"

As the saying goes, "spring is drowsy, autumn is tired, summer is drowsy, and winter is sleepy." Although it was not yet March in Ashtima, for lazy people, being able to sleep all year round is an eternal truth. On this windy afternoon, since the lazy person had no story to tell, let's listen to the hardworking Liliya's story instead. On this day, just like any other day, Liliya was covered in various buffs and arrived on time at the dark and mysterious third level of the mine. If you think we're going to talk about Liliya's killing spree in the third level of the mine, then that's too boring; no audience likes to watch that. So, this afternoon was both pleasant and unfortunate for Liliya. At 14:02, 15:03, 16:08, and 17:27, Liliya unfortunately stepped on slippery traps one after another and was dragged into the cave by tentacles. The combination of four tentacle attacks was swift and smooth, and if you had to compare it to something, it was like a master of love-making delicately entering a woman's secret garden, gentle and elegant at times, passionate and vigorous like waves crashing against the shore! As for the earlier mentioned pleasantness? Please do not misunderstand; the tentacle plot was unfortunate, while the endurance at those four points was pleasant. Those who thought otherwise, please self-reflect.On a cold day, water birds huddle together, forming groups to play under the setting sun. In the Adventurers Guild, a bustling auction is underway. The item up for auction is the rune shield recently confiscated by Mr. Boring from the wolf cavalry. The Juice Princess, Memories of the Past, and a crowd of onlookers bid against each other, one copper coin, two copper coins. You might ask why the bids are so low. Well, the bidders either lack the strength of 600 or desire other equipment, and some are simply there to enjoy the show. Then, Memories of the Past breaks the silence with a bid of "one gold coin plus a cat tail", which sets the auction in motion. Comrade Juice Princess quickly responds, saying, "Look, a piece of equipment with average properties costs 10 silver coins in the shop, and the rune shield has 11 attributes. I'll take a loss and buy it for 1.5 gold coins." Amidst the noisy crowd, our dear Mr. Boring, sorry, good sir, makes the decision and declares, "Sold!" He successfully sells the rune shield, originally worth at least 2.5 gold coins, to Comrade Juice Princess for 1.5 gold coins.

The prime time slot during the night refers to the time when the most viewers are in front of the television, and it is also the busiest time for the Adventurers Guild. In this special moment, the camera naturally focuses on the important figures. How could this story be complete without the adorable Fat Cat? The adventurers and maids in the guild debate on whether adventuring or missions are more challenging. Only to hear Fat Cat saying softly, "I think adventuring is quite simple. It's been three days in a row without anyone stealing my money." The guild suddenly falls silent. After the sound of a broken plate, both sides unanimously decide to kill Fat Cat. As for how Fat Cat managed to survive until now, the timing was just right. Fat Cat skillfully pulls out dozens of hentai pictures, confidently striding forward like a fierce tiger, and swimming like a fish leaping through the dragon gate. Except for a few discontented individuals who continue to chant "GKD, GKD," the entire guild enters the realm of enlightenment.

In the half-hour before the guild closes, which is the busiest time for the guild, numerous adventurers gather to complete and take on tasks, venture out of the city, and prepare for free milk and buffs. Although the clamor prevents me from hearing their stories today, I know that every adventurer who returns home at night has their own story, and each story is a reflection of their efforts throughout the day.
