Ball of Nothing

Chapter 381 The First Doctor Adventurer

It didn’t take long for Dorgon to create a special adventurer identity pass for Zero. Truen already had his tag for identification purposes and stored his card with the guild he registered it in Smargdas. For Zero, he was thrilled to receive both his card and tag.

The tag was a necklace with a coloured stone. Truen didn’t know what kind of gem that was but he knew each nation had a different way of making their adventurer tags. For Smargdas, they used metal plates like dog tags. Truen was B-ranked so his tag colour was silver. For anything below a C-rank, tags in Smargdas were bronze. For C to A ranks, the tags were silver and for S-ranked adventurers, they had golden tags.

"What gem is this?" Zero couldn’t help but be curious. The stone was bluish-purple in colour.

Dorgon grinned and showed Zero the adventurer ranking chart. "All gemstones are imbued with magic, crafted by myself. They cannot be forged so take care not to lose your tag. As for the adventurer card, you can choose to keep it with you or with the guild you registered in. Most travelling adventurers keep it with the guild because it allows them to gain residence in the nation that they left their guild cards in. Of course, you can take it with you but if you want a different guild to take your card for citizenship status, you have to re-register with them."

Zero looked at the chart and it was easy to understand.

F rank - Garnet gemstone (red)

E rank - Citrine gemstone (orange)

D rank - Jade gemstone (green)

C rank - Lapis gemstone (blue)

B rank - Amethyst gemstone (purple)

A rank - Howlite gemstone (white)

S rank - Onyx gemstone (black)

Zero took a closer look at his gemstone. "Is this meant to be blue or purple? My card says rank C."

The guild master smirked. "Since I couldn’t register you at a higher rank I decided to choose the most confusing colour between blue and purple, especially for you. You’re officially a C-ranked adventurer but it will be good if people take you more cautiously even if your abilities are way past B-rank."

Truen smirked at Zero who cringed at the confusing colour. Yet, he didn’t refuse it and asked the archer for help to attack the necklace. Dorgon went on to explain how the tag was imbued with magic. "If they ask for identification you can hold the necklace up against the magic device. It should automatically display your contributions and rank. Don’t worry, I didn’t register your name or any other details. Most adventurers don’t do that after all. However, I did include a little special something inside it. Here, try it out."

Zero looked at the magic device and raised a brow. Then, he held the necklace close to it before pulling back. The magic tablet flashed for a moment and a wall of words appeared, indicating Zero’s status as a registered adventurer. Truen glanced over to Zero with slight worry. Does he know how to read the common language used on Earth?

Zero scanned through the words and thanks to the translator from Buddha’s blessing, he could read what it said.

Rank C

Adventurer Class: Magician

Sub class: Healer

Special Class: Doctor

Skills: Magic \\u0026 Physical Combat

Tester: Guild Master Dorgon Flintstock, Rocket Mountain

Remarks: Recommended by King Darius of Rocket Mountain and acknowledged by Dorgon Flintstock.

Quest completed: 0

Zero read it twice and raised a brow. Truen’s jaw dropped. "Is this the default information?"

Dorgon stuck out his tongue. "The last remark segment is hidden on a regular reading device but if she wants to take on higher levelled quests or if the guild masters want to know more, they can see it."

Truen looked at Zero with slight worry. Rank C adventurers and above usually had the tester information recorded but hidden. The remarks portion was usually left blank. Dorgon must really have a grudge with Zero after the test to include such troublesome information. What did Zero do back then?

Zero blinked. "By putting this information in the remarks, does this mean you want me to be loyal to Rocket Mountain?"

With a snap, the guild master gave Zero a thumbs-up. "Exactly! Of course, nobody is going to stop you from taking your adventurer card and turning it in for citizenship elsewhere but it wouldn’t have the special remarks if you did. Besides, with this kind of backing, it is very likely that you can get special treatment when you need it. The King might not be a reliable person but his influence is still great. My name is also quite an influence and if you need any help, I have a few old friends here and there who would be willing to lend you a hand if they see it."

Instead of getting angry, Zero laughed. "Alright, for the hassle of including ’doctor’ into the card in a place that it shouldn’t belong, I will accept this. I’ll take the tag but you can keep the card. Also, I heard that banks help to grow one’s money. How come I don’t see one in Rocket Mountain?"

Truen who was also wondering the same thing stared at Dorgon who smirked. "We don’t have them here because many fools try to attack it. Hence, they changed the banks to the responsibility of the adventurer’s guild. Naturally, we don’t keep a lot of money with us and don’t accept large deposits but we allow basic deposit and withdrawal functions for adventurers who want to turn in their quests."

Zero pulled Truen over and whispered urgently. "I don’t like the idea of having so much money with me and I don’t trust Schaf to handle everything for Half Moon Village. Is there any way I can set up a bank account and put a few people to help me manage it? I need Coux, Qin Yun, Lady Zenobia and Zoe to be the verifier. At the same time, I want Mammon, Baal, shifu, Merlin, Ruth, you and I to be the owners of it. I know it doesn’t carry the currency of Heaven or Hell but at least with something working for them on Earth, doing business using Ten-Path Crossway will be faster. What do you think?"

Truen thought about it. "Can’t you make your inventory shared between these people and make Zoe the manager? Having a private bank system is a lot safer than putting it with any other bank. Besides, if you set it up with Mind’s Eye, you can include different currencies and set restrictions."

Zero thought about it. "What’s 10 dinnites and 600 binnites worth in other cursed coins?"

The archer paused. "I don’t know. Why don’t you put this off for now and talk about it over with Coux and Mammon? They’re the business experts."

"We will come back tomorrow for help if we need any. One last question. Will the magic going on this necklace go astray if I added my own enchantments on it?" Zero asked.

Dorgon shrugged. "I don’t know, I’m not a magic expert but I don’t suggest you try. The gnomes helped to make the machine that I need to imbue these tags with magic after selecting a gem and processing them at the crafting guild."

Zero thanked the guild master and left with Truen. Tomorrow, Schaf and Zenobia will be arriving at Rocket Mountain so for now, Truen and Zero decided to scout for a suitable mount to Derby Desert. Before they left, Dorgon suggested going to the Farmer’s Valley to look for an exotic trader by the name of Axel.
