Intention!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Titus, Legendary Sword Saint of the Thousand-Iron Flow, Vice-Captain of the \"Eternal Radiant Throne\" Adventurer Group\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be my golden finger, then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the bonfire, Xia Nan gazed at the longsword laid horizontally across his knees and murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his second day after transmigrating to this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, Xia Nan had never weathered any great storms; born into a moderately well-off family, he relied on studying and solving problems to gain entry into a respectable university.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After graduation, he followed the crowd into an internet company, enjoying the \"blessing\" of working nine-to-nine, six days a week, until finally securing the position of department supervisor on his thirty-second birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the celebration gathering ended, drunk and staggering, he declined his colleagues' offer to escort him, planning to walk home while letting the evening breeze sober him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected that shortly after leaving the restaurant, while walking along the night road, he would hear only the urgent blare of a horn and the screech of brakes from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then everything went black before his eyes, and he arrived in this world, reborn in the body of an eighteen-year-old youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nan sighed silently, his mind slightly distracted by memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attribute panel floating above the one-handed sword, visible only to him, dissipated accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having inherited all the youth's memories, he now had a rough understanding of the world he had transmigrated into.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news was that this world was genuinely a fantasy realm where supernatural powers existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the few tricks performed by the bard who stayed in the village during his childhood to pay for his meals, or the faintly glowing two-handed axe on the back of the burly barbarian seen recently when passing by the tavern, both proved this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bad news was that in this life, he was nothing more than an ordinary farmer who had to worry about his next three meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the little knowledge brought over from his modern past life, the most abundant information in his mind consisted of techniques like \"how to plow fields with less effort\" and \"which crops to sow in corresponding seasons,\" things completely unrelated to the supernatural powers of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that Xia Nan held any prejudice against this profession that provided the source of life for countless people; in fact, in his previous life, he often fantasized that once he earned enough money, he would move out of the big city, rent a small plot of land in a pleasant environment, and live a pastoral life of rising at sunrise and resting at sunset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that in this world, relying solely on a few strips of barren fields was utterly insufficient to feed a large family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was precisely the reason why his predecessor had left the village where he grew up to venture into the dangerous wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Nan withdrew his gaze from the one-handed sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting his head slightly, he looked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an exceedingly crude campsite; there were not even tents, only a few sleeping bags scattered haphazardly around the bonfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several figures of varying sizes sat scattered around the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the crackling sound of the burning flames, faint whispers could occasionally be heard, though it was unclear what they were saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans, Gnomes, Half-Orcs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to be a classic four-member adventurer party configuration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, Xia Nan could state without hesitation that he and the others were nothing but a bunch of rotten fish and spoiled shrimp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gnome \"Elki\": for him, currently just in his early twenties, his race's lifespan of up to five hundred years offered no advantage whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His knowledge and experience were even inferior to those of his predecessor, an eighteen-year-old peasant who faced the earth with his back to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two daggers tucked at his waist, he looked the part, seemingly some sort of rogue class professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, Elki was a genuine right-hander; let alone holding a knife in his left hand, he struggled even to grip a fork—Xia Nan had once witnessed firsthand how it took the other a full three minutes just to undo the bracer on his right arm using his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing slightly above average about him was likely just his self-proclaimed family-inherited optimistic mindset and his ill-timed sense of humor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Half-Orc \"Gagu\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although labeled a \"Half-Orc,\" Xia Nan estimated that the orcish blood within this guy amounted to merely one-thirty-second or even less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because aside from slightly sharper canine teeth and a more burly build, he looked almost no different from a normal human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, he barely counted as a front-liner—\"At least he can get those beasts in the jungle to take a few more bites,\" were Elki the Gnome's exact words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last member, and also the captain of the \"Rotten Fish and Spoiled Shrimp\" party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maji, a Human Hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was probably the most reliable member of their party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that he was once a famous hunter in several villages on the kingdom's western border, but after offending some noble, he had to flee his hometown under an assumed name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Elki seemed to know some inside details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, women.\" That was what the other had said when the topic was once brought up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, a right-hander, a mongrel, a hunter, and a farmer constituted their party's entire lineup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, at least in Xia Nan's understanding, a standard adventurer party configuration should consist of a Warrior, a Cleric, a Mage, plus either a Rogue or a Ranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quintessential Warrior-Mage-Cleric trio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the Rotten Fish and Spoiled Shrimp party, this was undoubtedly an extravagant wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone rare spellcasters; their team didn't even have a single lowest-tier class professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even \"Maji,\" the hunter with the deepest seniority, was still a hundred thousand miles away from qualifying as a \"Ranger\" and obtaining his first class level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, calling their group an \"adventurer party\" was entirely giving Xia Nan and the others too much credit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it wasn't that class professionals didn't exist in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the requirements for qualifying in various classes were quite stringent; unless one possessed exceptional luck or a substantial family fortune, ordinary people would never reach that level in their entire lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the bounty on just one goblin was three silver and seven copper coins—nearly two days' wages for a dock porter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High risk, high reward; this was the consensus among all intelligent beings in this world regarding \"adventurers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was precisely why the Rotten Fish and Shrimp Squad had come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are half a day's journey from the sighting location mentioned in the mission report,\" said the hunter Ma Ji, sitting by the campfire organizing his quiver. \"We should arrive by tomorrow morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, tsk, that's a whole squad of goblins! I've never taken on a job this big!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elki waved his dagger in his right hand, his face illuminated by the firelight revealing his excitement, though his short stature made him look somewhat comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, scared?\" The half-orc on the other side grinned, speaking rather maliciously. \"Don't worry; they're all green-skinned little mice your size. Laozi could pinch two of them to death with his toes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elki nodded pretentiously, wearing an expression of agreement as he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A tough guy like you would definitely not cry out for his mother while talking in his sleep at night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"%@#*&!
