Chapter 568: Applied for Membership, Causing a Lot of Ridicule

The heavy metal door slowly opened, revealing a huge hall in front of Vincent and Kurt.

There was a straight corridor leading to two semi-circular stairs. The stairs led to the second floor. There were many scattered tables and chairs on both sides of the corridor. They were filled with creatures from different races.

Some of them were drinking and chatting, while the others were whispering cautiously. There were also a lot of rare materials piled on the tables. It looked like they were dividing the spoils after a mission.

As Vincent and Kurt slowly walked in, the originally noisy hall gradually quieted down. More and more creatures began to look at Vincent and Kurt with playful expressions. It was as if they were looking at two weak white rabbits waiting to be slaughtered.

Kurt swept his mechanical eyes across everyone in the room. He said softly to Vincent, “Mr. Vincent, these creatures seem to have malicious intentions toward us. I’m already prepared to fight!”

Vincent shook his head calmly and said with a smile, “Don’t be so nervous! We are here to do business with sincerity today. Before anyone attacks us, we cannot harm them!”

“Yes!” replied Kurt softly. He was no longer hostile.

When Vincent and Kurt walked to the stairs leading to the second floor, a strange creature with a thin figure and a long face came down from the stairs and blocked Vincent and Kurt. He had a face as long as a horse.

“Sorry, the two of you do not seem to possess the badge belonging to our association. Therefore, you are not qualified to enter the Wanderers Association! If there is nothing else, I hope the two of you can leave as soon as possible, or else you will have to bear the consequences!”

The long-faced creature nodded lightly as he spoke. He gave a very serious warning to Vincent and Kurt.

Vincent did not feel the slightest bit embarrassed, and calmly said, “Your excellency should be a Horse-Faced Race, right? You are an extremely rare race!”

The long-faced creature looked at Vincent with some surprise. He did not expect that he would be able to reveal his origin in just one sentence. He soon relaxed, smiled and said to Vincent, “The Horse-Faced Race’s heritage has indeed withered away. I am deeply impressed by your knowledge and experience. May I know why you have come to the Wanderers Association?”

Vincent smiled and did not explain further. He was able to recognize that the other party was a Horse-Faced Race, not because of his knowledge and experience, but because he saw a wall of honor with photos of contestants who had performed exceptionally in the Arena of Life and Death over the years. One of them was a member of the Horse-Faced Race.

Vincent had only gotten to know this rare race from the photos. Not long after the Horse-Faced Race member ascended the wall of honor did he die in the Arena of Life and Death.

Fortunately, the conversation was going well so Vincent no longer had to elaborate on the topic.

Vincent said to the Horse-Faced Race creature with a face full of smiles, “Look, it’s like this. This is our first time at the Inn, and we want to join the Wanderers Association!”

However, before the Horse-Faced Race creature could respond, the entire hall on the first floor was filled with deafening laughter.

Many of them put down the drinks in their hands. They held onto their stomachs while slamming the table. They almost burst into tears from laughter.

Vincent and Kurt turned their heads to look at the creatures in the hall. Their eyes were filled with confusion, unable to understand why they would suddenly laugh madly.

Suddenly, a whistle rang out from the crowd, followed by a mocking voice, “Did you hear that? These two weaklings actually want to become wanderers. They look like two idiots who only know how to dream of becoming rich overnight! They only saw the glory and dignity of the wanderers when they earn money, but they don’t know the dangers behind it. I bet that after they complete the first mission, they will be so scared that they will wet their pants and voluntarily withdraw from the Wanderers Association!”

Countless creatures soon followed in agreement.

“You’re right, I’ve seen many creatures like this! Judging from their looks, they probably can’t even accept the most basic mission. Even if any team is willing to bring them along, they will only become a burden! I was almost killed by such a stupid newbie back then. Fortunately, I killed that idiot in time, which saved the entire team!”

“That’s right, I’ve encountered the same situation before. The only advantage of carrying such a weak newbie on a mission is that you have an extra portion of dry rations. When you run out of ammunition and rations, you can use the newbie to satisfy your hunger!”

Everyone chimed in one after another, expressing their contempt toward Vincent and Kurt. There were even some who raised their arms high, showing off their sturdy bodies and ferocious faces to Vincent and Kurt. It was as if they wanted to show that only a strong physique and terrifying looks were the mark of a strong creature.

Vincent did not argue with those present. He turned to the Horse-Faced Race creature and asked calmly, “May I ask what level is required for us to participate in the lowest-level mission of the Wanderers Association?”

The Horse-Faced Race creature looked at Vincent with some hesitation. He did not want to attack this friendly creature who had recognized his identity. However, in order to make Vincent back down, he finally opened his mouth and said, “In the Wanderers Association, the lowest level mission requires the strength of at least a level 30 creature to join. However, this is only the lowest threshold. Many level 30 creatures usually participate in a mission once and they never return!”

Vincent smiled self-deprecatingly. He did not expect that his strength and appearance would be mocked by others. However, he was too lazy to explain anything to the others. He directly said to the Horse-Face Race creature, “Then I’m relieved! Both of us have enough strength to become wanderers. Please let me know how to register!”

The Horse-Faced Race creature shook his head helplessly and said in a deep voice, “Since the two of you insist on this, then I can only follow the procedure! In fact, the ceremony to register as a wanderer is very simple. As long as the two of you prove your strength to us, you can get the recognition of the Wanderers Association and become one of us!”

Vincent could not help but turn his head to look at the creatures in the room again. He asked in embarrassment, “Prove our strength here? Don’t tell me you want us to randomly pick a fight?”

After hearing Vincent’s words, the disdainful smiles on the faces of the creatures in the hall became even more intense. There were even creatures who raised their hands with confidence, indicating that they were willing to accept the challenge.

The Horse-Faced Race creature quickly explained, “Actually, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. As long as you can complete the lowest level mission set by the Wanderers Association, or casually defeat an opponent over level 30, it can be counted as you passing the initiation ceremony!”

Vincent could not help but fall into silence. He knew nothing about the Inn, and it was impossible for him to find a way to prove his strength within a short period of time.

Suddenly, the door of the Wanderers Association collapsed.. A Subdragon in a suit walked in. He growled in a low voice, “Who killed my men just now?”
