He had visited the Adventurers Guild many times but never knew such a pleasant place existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Sherry actually has a very good temper. Among the guild's senior members, she's the friendliest toward us ordinary receptionists,\" Petra said, putting in a good word for Sherry after leading Gauss inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss took a seat in a high-backed armchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. It's just that her aura was a bit overwhelming...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you'll feel differently after interacting with her a few more times. Rest here for now while I fill out a registration report.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding, Gauss turned his attention to the VIP room's layout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soft golden light flowed from crystal lamps embedded in the pure white ceiling. The lighting was meticulously designed—neither dim nor glaring—illuminating every corner perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls were covered in deep olive-green velvet wallpaper, subtly embroidered with silver threads forming the Adventurers Guild's emblem, exuding understated nobility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center stood a heavy oak round table, its surface mirror-smooth with edges carved in intertwining vine and arcane patterns. Neatly arranged on it were glasses of clean water and some food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brass-framed grandfather clock stood in the corner, its pendulum rhythmically ticking. On the opposite wall hung a massive parchment map depicting the entire kingdom and surrounding dangerous regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grayrock Town was just a tiny dot on the map, and even the Emerald Forest appeared no larger than a palm. Gauss suspected that if this map weren't displayed in Grayrock Town's Adventurers Guild, the town might not have been marked at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clearest evidence was that Absinthe Town had no special markings either—only major cities were prominently displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After studying it for a while, Gauss exhaled deeply and relaxed into the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deep brown leather backrest was filled with soft yet supportive padding, so comfortable it nearly lulled him to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been in this world for some time, his memories of his previous life were becoming increasingly distant, as if they belonged to another era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The decor of this VIP reception room was undoubtedly the finest he'd encountered in this world—even surpassing many high-end interiors from his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inhaling the faint, elegant fragrance in the air,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss's mind involuntarily contrasted this with the bustling scenes of the Adventurers Hall during peak hours:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jostling crowds, the cacophony of overlapping conversations, the stale sweat odor from leather-armored adventurers who hadn't bathed in days, the slightly faded floor tiles worn by countless footsteps...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around the luxurious room occupied only by himself and Petra, he realized more profoundly that professionals and non-professionals truly lived in separate worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world's resources were concentrated without restraint around that small minority who possessed formidable power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, Gauss didn't dislike the lively atmosphere of the main hall, but having some quiet time occasionally wasn't bad either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he lost himself in thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Petra finally finished her report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All done.\" She set the report aside and placed two crystals—one large, one small—on the oak table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gauss, hold this larger blue crystal. It's a task crystal—as a professional, you should be able to read mission information from it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beginner-level tasks vary in difficulty. Currently, you can only accept one-star beginner tasks, which are relatively safer among beginner commissions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss picked up the larger crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his fingers touched the prism-shaped stone, a strange ripple emanated from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his Rank resonate slightly, a cool sensation spreading across his scalp. Suddenly, he could perceive the vast information stored within the task crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immersed in the data stream,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he quickly sensed numerous one-star beginner tasks recorded inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters involved were diverse—some old acquaintances like goblins and slimes, others he hadn't encountered yet: gnolls, fishmen, rust monsters, fire lizards, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, most one-star beginner tasks targeted monsters without challenge ratings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quantities were just larger than ordinary tasks—usually over forty—with occasional notes about variant individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for commissions involving challenge-rated monsters, there were only a few, each marked with warnings about solo acceptance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidently, in the guild's intelligence system, even a newly promoted Level 1 professional wouldn't have an advantage against a Level 1 challenge-rated monster in a one-on-one fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But doesn't this imply my strength far exceeds my peers? Gauss felt somewhat pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During his apprenticeship, he'd killed a mantis man—a foe most new professionals would struggle against. Though he'd exploited its weakness, the kill was real. Therefore, as a professional, his combat power would naturally surpass other newcomers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze lingered on those challenge-rated monster commissions before decisively moving on to the regular low-tier creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even realizing he might handle elite monsters that would overwhelm other new professionals, he had no intention of testing himself unnecessarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to steadily grind weaker foes first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since these tasks each involved dozens of low-tier monsters—perfect for efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One such mission could equal several ordinary tasks, multiplying his gains exponentially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only concern was getting overwhelmed by numbers, but with his strong defensive skills and some caution, serious mishaps were unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After browsing the task list extensively,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he finally selected a monster extermination mission:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Redcap Goblin Tribe Eradication]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Details: Eliminate a medium-sized goblin tribe. All targets must be killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Location: See map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duration: Within two weeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notes: This tribe has over 50 adult goblins. The leader is a redcap goblin (no challenge rating but more formidable than regular goblins). Proceed with caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reward: 90 silver coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, even when advancing to beginner-level tasks, he still chose goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could he do? Their numbers were ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, his racial talent—Rapid Digestion—required mass goblin hunting for improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assessing his combat capabilities, he felt confident about completing the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he didn't need to charge head-on—options like fire attacks, poisoning, or ambushes were plentiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Total monsters killed: 179\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If successful, this mission would easily push him past the 200 mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since beginner tasks involved more monsters, his kill efficiency would also increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only downside was needing to venture deeper into the Emerald Forest's periphery, raising the danger level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this made sense—a goblin tribe of fifty near human settlements would've been eliminated by other professionals long ago, leaving no chance for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've chosen,\" Gauss told Petra. \"How do I confirm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Focus on the specific task for a few seconds to accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following her instructions, the goblin mission soon disappeared from the task crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you're still a no-rank adventurer, your identity badge isn't directly linked to the task crystal. I'll need to register it manually. Give me your badge—wait here, I'll be right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, and this smaller crystal is your mission recorder. Keep it with you throughout the task, or your results will be invalid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that reminder, Petra took the task crystal and hurried to another room for registration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss picked up the transparent recorder, examining it curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He detected faint magical fluctuations within, but they were minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its lightweight feel gave an impression of cheapness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably such recording devices allowed the guild to confidently let examinees complete tasks alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During submission, just checking the recorder's data would reveal whether the adventurer worked solo or had external assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tucking away the crystal,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss decided to rest for two more days before setting out—time to replenish supplies and purchase new gear.\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-03T09:23:13.438Z","2026-06-03T09:23:16.563Z",1,"novelbin.me","79a1a328a79cb492792341f794cacb12c4d41d197530337135682e49db3c6056","i-am-not-goblin-slayer-chapter-94","i-am-not-goblin-slayer-chapter-92",414,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
