When the receptionist saw them coming over, she first revealed a surprised look before revealing a wide smile to greet them, "Welcome to the Mercenary Guild, how can I help you?"
Of course, when she said this, her body was more turned to face Lin Fan.
Lin Fan didn't mind it at all since he now knew why everyone had treated him differently when they saw him. When he was washing his face this morning, he saw a mirror for the first time since he came to this realm.
To put it simple, he was handsome.
It wasn't just a normal level of handsome, he was drop dead gorgeous. He was so attractive that he almost drooled over himself.
So he understood what the bandits meant when they said that he would be a "good product" and why this girl was staring at him like this.
He even secretly thought to himself, "Good job, god of Earth!"
On the surface, Lin Fan was calm, but seeing a cute girl being this enthusiastic towards him, he couldn't help feeling excited deep down.
After all, this was something that he had never experienced before.
After a slight pause, he said, "We want to register as mercenaries."
The receptionist immediately took out the form and placed it in front of Lin Fan before leaning forward to help him fill in the form. Before leaning in, she had secretly opened the top button on her shirt, which revealed a bit of the peaks that were there.
Lin Fan couldn't help taking a peek and he had to admit that they were indeed quite big.
If he was able to push his face in them…
But then he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him.
Turning around, he saw Xiao Yue standing there with a warm smile on her face, but to him, that smile was anything but warm.
Lin Fan immediately gave a gulp and said, "We're both here to register as mercenaries, so can you give us another form?"
It was only then that the receptionist noticed Xiao Yue.
She had been focused on Lin Fan the entire time, so she actually hadn't noticed Xiao Yue. However, now that she did, her eyes swept over her before she revealed a faint smile and gave a chuckle.
Xiao Yue's expression didn't change, but it was clear from her eyes that she was angry.
But the receptionist did have her right to be smug since after all, she had something that Xiao Yue didn't have. It was a big thing that Xiao Yue just couldn't compare to, rather they were two big round things…
Lin Fan felt that something was off, so he took the forms and said, "We'll fill these out and then come back to register."
After saying this, he immediately took Xiao Yue's hand and led her to a table on the side.
When she felt Lin Fan grabbing her hand, Xiao Yue's face couldn't help turning red.
Feeling the warmth that came from Lin Fan's hand, she couldn't help thinking of the dream that she had last night. As this thought came to her mind, her face turned even more red.
When the receptionist saw this, she immediately started gritting her teeth, but there was nothing that she could say in response to this. After all, this was her first time meeting Lin Fan and it wouldn't be right for her to be too direct.
As they moved to the side, Xiao Yue didn't forget to reveal a smirk to the receptionist.
The receptionist just gritted her teeth even more tightly when she saw this.
After sitting down, Lin Fan started going through the form and found that the form wasn't really that detailed. All that the form asked for was some basic information about them, as well as some detailed information like their level of power, which should only apply for cultivators.
Lin Fan quickly filled out the form, choosing to leave out most of the information since the form had stated that they were optional.
There was still the family of the original owner of this body, if they were to find out that he was still alive, they definitely wouldn't let him remain that way.
After filling out the forms, he brought them back to the counter for the receptionist that had taken care of him before.
She had been taking care of something, but as soon as she saw Lin Fan coming over, she sent off the people that she had been handling. They grumbled about it, but when they left, they had strangely happy faces from being treated like that.
The receptionist immediately came back to Lin Fan where she happily took the forms, but when she read what was on it, she couldn't help saying in a surprised and loud voice, "You're a First Level Qi Gathering cultivator?"
The moment that this was said, everyone in the hall suddenly stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Lin Fan.
There was only a moment of silence before everyone turned back to what they were doing, but there were a few people that paid more attention to Lin Fan now.
After that moment of silence, the other receptionist who had been silent the whole time suddenly turned around and smacked the first receptionist on the back of the head.
The first receptionist realized her mistake and quickly covered her mouth before turning to apologize to Lin Fan.
But before Lin Fan could even say anything, the other receptionist said with a stern look, "Lala, what do you think you're doing? Revealing our customer's private information like this, are you even worthy of working for our Mercenary Guild?"
The first receptionist who was called Lala immediately turned to the other receptionist who was clearly her senior and said with a tearful look, "Senior, I'm sorry, it was all my mistake!"
But the senior didn't pity her at all as she smacked her on the head again before turning to bow her head to Lin Fan, "Dear customer, I'm very sorry about this. Please let me make it up to you."
Lin Fan just waved his hand and said, "It's fine. Can you just help me register? I want to go and take some missions."
The senior gave another bow to Lin Fan and said, "Yes, we'll take care of that immediately." Then she turned to Lala and smacked her head again before saying, "Hurry up and make up for your mistake."
Lala didn't complain at all since she knew that it was her fault, so she quickly entered the information into their system before running off to the area where they made their cards.
The senior didn't stay either as she went into the back to take care of something, so there was only Lin Fan and Xiao Yue left standing there.
Lin Fan had a casual and relaxed look on his face since he didn't mind this at all. His mindset was still the mindset of Earth, so to him, this was nothing more than a simple mistake and there was no need to dwell on it.
However, for Xiao Yue, she knew that it wasn't as simple as just being a mistake. Rather, this was a very serious problem. But since Lin Fan wasn't making a big deal over this, she couldn't make that big of a deal either.
Though during this period, she did make sure to note the gazes with ill intent that looked in their direction and remembered the faces that revealed those gazes.
She knew that this matter wouldn't end here.
Lala didn't take long before she came back with two cards which were their Mercenary Licenses.
After handing the cards to them, she quickly explained the ranking system.
It was similar to the system of the Adventurer Guild that Lin Fan had read about in those isekai novels.
Mercenaries were ranked from A to F depending on their power and performance. It wasn't just the most powerful that could become A Rank mercenaries, even those that were smart enough to finish tasks in their own way could become A Rank mercenaries.
But above that was a rank that was only available to those that were truly powerful, the S Rank. At that rank, one had to prove that they had enough power to suppress all other mercenaries.
For now, Lin Fan had been registered as a D Rank mercenary. It wasn't compensation for revealing that he was a cultivator, but rather it was because he was a cultivator that he was promoted to the D Rank.
As for Xiao Yue, she was put as a F Rank mercenary.
The other things that she explained were minor, but the only thing to note was that there were time limits on their licenses.
For F Rank mercenaries, if they didn't finish a quest every month, they would be deemed inactive and would have to repay the registration fee to register as a mercenary again.
Speaking of the registration fee, it was waived for Lin Fan because of what Lala did.
After receiving their licenses, Lin Fan headed over to the mission board on the side of the hall that was opposite to the bar and looked over the missions available.
Since he and Xiao Yue would be operating as a group, that meant that since the leader was Lin Fan who was a D Rank mercenary, they would be able to take D Rank requests.
But it was never a good idea to rush into things like this, so Lin Fan chose the F Rank herb collection mission in the end.
This was a good starter mission since it wasn't that far away from the city and the herbs were quite easy to find. Not to mention that this paid quite well for a F Rank mission, which was what Lin Fan cared about the most.
The funds that they got from the bandit wasn't much and with the money that they had, it would all be spent just by paying for their lodgings over the next week.
Of course, this wouldn't be a problem if they were to camp out, but Lin Fan didn't want to put Xiao Yue through that. Especially not after what had happened last night…
So he decided that he should do the bare minimum as a man and provide for his woman.
After taking this mission and registering it at the counter, Lin Fan and Xiao Yue headed out of the Mercenary Guild.
Right after they left, there was a group of three by the bar area who also picked up their belongings and headed out the door after them.
