Chapter 14: Venturing Deep into the Beginner Adventurer Zone
Upon arriving, Shye saw two guards at the entrance of the beginner adventurer zone.
He almost went back to his old ways of sneaking his way inside but fortunately, although he didn't have an adventurer badge, he had a Colzen Adventurer Academy identification card.
According to the laws of Colzen City, students of the adventurer academy are allowed to go inside the beginner adventurer zone.
However, they weren't allowed to go inside intermediate adventurer zones without an intermediate badge from the academy.
Knowing this, Shye walked toward the two guards and showed them his identification card as he patiently waited for the guards to finish examining his identification card.
After the guards confirmed that he was indeed a student of the Colzen Adventurer Academy, the guards allowed him to go inside.
Once the guards granted him access to the beginner adventurer zone, Shye took his identification card from the guards and walked towards the forest.
Once Shye's silhouette disappeared into the forest, the two guards breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn! I talked to him so casually! I didn't know that he was someone in the top 20!"
"Yeah, me too. Fortunately, he was in a good mood and didn't cause any trouble for us!"
Shye didn't know that the guards talked about him nor did he care. He simply walked deeper and deeper into the forest to look for creatures.
After a few minutes of walking, he finally encountered a red fox.
Even before he got the system, he could already kill red foxes after exerting a bit of effort so this small red fox didn't pose any threat to him at all.
He quickly killed the fox with a single swing of his greatsword and harvested its small fangs, pelt, and claws.
"These should sell for a good few silvers." Shye thought to himself
Previously, he didn't have a student identification card so he wouldn't be able to sell the parts even if he harvested them so he just harvested the meat and took it home for Maia to eat.
In addition to this, he couldn't venture very deep before because he was still very weak and didn't have a proper weapon.
"With this system, nothing is impossible for me!"
Shye smiled confidently and continued heading deeper and deeper into the forest.
He was amazed at how huge the beginner adventurer zone was and the deeper he went, the stronger the creatures he encountered.
The last creature he fought, the Irontusk boar, surprised him with how strong it was. He got a bit complacent so he didn't bother dodging its charge and directly slashed at it head-on.
To his surprise, his Iron Greatsword wasn't able to break through the tough tusks of the boar.
In addition to this, the boar was slightly stronger than him in terms of raw strength so he was pushed back after the clash.
Due to this, he was given another dose of reality.
He had to remain vigilant! He couldn't be overconfident here or he might lose his life!
After the boar gave him a wake-up call, Shye's expression turned serious.
He started carefully dodging the Irontusk boar's charges while slowly dealing damage to it whenever he got the chance.
The Irontusk boar finally collapsed from the accumulated damage after half an hour of fighting against Shye.
"That boar was tough, I have to remain vigilant. I was pretty lucky that the boar's attacks were predictable or the fight might've ended differently because I was too overconfident."
Shye reminded himself.
He quickly butchered the boar and harvested some of its meat. This was the first time he killed an irontusk boar so he wanted to taste its meat.
Once he was finished harvesting the meat, pelt, and tusks, Shye continued exploring the forest.
Then, after just a few minutes of walking, he arrived at a beautiful lake with lots of aquatic plants such as water lilies, tall trees, and beautiful flowers.
A smile appeared on Shye's face after accidentally walking into such a beautiful place inside the beginner adventurer zone.
While he was admiring the view, Unbeknownst to him, a creature with glowing green eyes was staring at him from a thick branch of a tall tree behind him.
