At most, he had sneakily glanced inside a few times when passing by the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the original Gauss didn’t dare go in wasn’t because the Adventurers Guild restricted visitors but simply due to his own inferiority complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always felt that only powerful adventurers and professionals could step inside, and casually entering might invite questioning or strange looks from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the watchful eyes of two guards clad in elite light armor standing at the entrance, Gauss walked in calmly just like the other adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first floor was a public hall, similar to the service halls of social public institutions in Gauss’s previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hall, it was crowded with people. Groups of three to five adventurers carrying various weapons and armor were chatting and exchanging information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The last time I hacked that gnoll, my sword got dulled. The commission money I earned wasn’t even enough to repair it. Big loss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goblin creatures may look weak, but once they number more than three, it’s a completely different matter. You must be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss turned his head, observing the hall’s environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even saw several non-pure human beings, such as half-orcs, gnomes, and dwarves, though humans were the majority of adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling his gaze away from the crowd, he looked around the surrounding facilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consultation desk curved in a semicircle around the hall, where several receptionists sat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the consultation counters, various mission information was posted on bulletin boards on the surrounding walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Common material-type mission: Submit Slime Cores obtained from Slime monsters. Mission reward: 3 silver coins per 5 Slime Cores. This mission is permanently available.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Common material-type mission: Blood-toothed Fern. The plant must be kept alive when submitting the mission. Reward: 50 copper coins per plant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls were plastered with mission notices, dazzling Gauss’s eyes. So he chose to head straight to the front desk to inquire about mission acceptance procedures and requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist was a young lady with a sweet appearance, standing upright behind the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Petra, receptionist, employee ID E21051. How may I assist you?” she greeted energetically, her smile just right, clearly well-trained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s my first time here. May I ask what requirements there are to accept missions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A rookie adventurer? Then you need to register first as an individual adventurer. Oh, and…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The registration fee is 1 silver coin. Is that acceptable to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Gauss took a silver coin out of his pocket, secretly relieved. He had sold a goblin pendant a few days ago; otherwise, he wouldn’t even have been able to afford this registration fee, which would have been embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, then please fill out this adventurer registration form.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.” Gauss took the form Petra handed over and quickly scanned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides name, age, basic physical information, and permanent address, it also required him to list his proficient weapons or skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After truthfully completing the form, Gauss handed it back to the receptionist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will register you now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly operated on the computer under the counter with both hands. Within a few seconds, she took out a white badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is your personal adventurer identity and adventurer rank proof. You need to show this badge when accepting or submitting missions. Please keep it safe. If lost, it will cost 1 silver coin to remake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss took it and flipped it over to look closely. This diamond-shaped badge was made of a white metal, with intricate plant patterns engraved on the surface. The craftsmanship was quite fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Petra, I want to accept some combat missions about goblins, preferably with fewer monsters.” After completing the procedure, Gauss got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued focusing on goblins mainly because they were the most common low-level monsters, and secondly, out of habit, since he had already killed one goblin. He felt more confident facing them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t fought other monsters yet, and just judging by the name, he wasn’t sure how strong they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goblins? Let me see.” The receptionist thought for a moment and pointed Gauss to a wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are some goblin-related commissions posted on that wall, but the numbers mostly run into double digits or more. If the number is too small, villagers generally won’t pay a commission to post the mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Petra’s implication was that too few goblins posed no immediate threat to the village, so no such missions were issued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thanking the receptionist, Gauss went to the area she pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, that wall was covered with many combat commissions, and the goblin missions were thoughtfully posted in an adjacent section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Common Bounty Mission]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward: 10 silver coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Description: The sheepfold in Stoneclaw Village was attacked by a group of goblins. Please help the villagers kill the goblin group lurking near the village. The number of goblins is about 10–15.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Submission item: Complete left ear of a goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission duration: 5 days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Common Bounty Mission]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward: 50 copper coins per goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Description: Assist the guards in clearing and killing goblins wandering from town towards the main road of the Emerald Forest. This mission is permanently available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Submission item: Complete left ear of a goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mission duration: permanent\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few goblin missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was natural since, as the only adventurers guild in the surrounding area, all village and outpost missions in its jurisdiction would be submitted here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goblins were the most common monsters of all, and attacking villages and robbing caravans were their main daily activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss looked around and couldn’t help but frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the receptionist said, there were no missions involving lone goblins. Besides some long-term missions without precise locations, most goblin disturbances involved groups of at least double digits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at present, even with his zero-level cantrip, Mage Hand, he was unable to handle double-digit goblin numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was struggling with this, he suddenly heard a low-voiced conversation nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t intentionally eavesdropping; it just happened that he caught the word “goblin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Birch Village is a bit far...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seven or eight goblins, can we handle that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, goblins are just ordinary trash. I can take one down with each arrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small squad speaking consisted of one male and two females, all seemingly around eighteen years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brown-haired female with long curls wore tight light armor, carried a bow on her back, and had a dagger inserted into the side of her tall boots. She had a sharp aura and appeared to be the squad’s spokesperson, standing with hands on hips, encouraging the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other girl looked much less imposing, with short black hair and bangs covering her eyebrows. Her eyes darted nervously, and she had two daggers hanging at her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young male was expressionless, arms crossed leaning against a pillar, with a longsword hanging by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by their equipment, all three looked more impressive than Gauss, at least dressed in fine leather and light armor, and their weapons looked new and bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they looked a bit too new, with almost no signs of long-term use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they rookies like me? Gauss noticed this detail and thought silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have they already accepted a goblin mission?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archer girl was holding a commission slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven or eight goblins—fewer than the numbers posted on the wall—and while the money would be less for a small squad, it would be relatively safer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that as a mage, he definitely needed a frontliner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Gauss stepped forward and greeted them proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, my name is Gauss. I’m a rookie adventurer. Does your squad have room for one more?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1350,"2026-06-03T09:23:13.161Z","2026-06-03T09:23:16.283Z",1,"novelbin.me","6cfe564bfb3925f8cdf0dda8f8ad3324e338578c6c601b1e2800e7e431bdc8a1","i-am-not-goblin-slayer-chapter-8","i-am-not-goblin-slayer-chapter-6",414,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
