The curious looked at Liu Yang, but he was not recognized by anyone. So they thought that he is a newbie who has just arrived in the city or is a member of some group of wealthy nobles.

But that's it, after looking at Liu Yang, they went back to doing what they were doing before.

Liu Yang passed by everyone and went to the counter. A young woman dressed as a maid was on the other side.

"Sir. adventurer, my name is Janna, how can I help you?" Janna did not have to ask for Liu Yang's adventurer card to confirm whether he is in the Gold rank or not.

To go up to the third floor, Liu Yang already had to validate the card before going up, as only those who are in the Gold rank can go up to the third floor. To go up to the fourth and fifth floor, someone needs to use some special methods as an adventurer does not always visit the agency.

"I would like to buy information about the events in the two cities in the Neutral Zone and the city that belongs to the Temore Kingdom" Liu Yang asked. He needs to learn about the news.

"Sir. Adventurer, this information will cost three hundred mined crystals or a thousand crystals from the creatures around the two cities. The agency does not use the crystals of creatures from the other nine cities." Janna said the prices.

"Here are the crystals" Liu Yang paid without thinking twice. He gained many crystals by killing and stealing various groups of thieves and assassins on the way to the city.

"Sir, here's the information you asked for" Janna placed a newspaper page on the table.

The page is magical and is updated whenever the person finishes reading.

"I see ..." Liu Yang started to read the news.

At first, things were a little irrelevant to him, but when he arrived at the events about the city controlled by the Temore Kingdom, he was startled.

The news talks about a new type of crystal creature never seen before.

The image of a crystal giant attacking the city was shown. The crystals on the giant's body were brighter and more resistant than normal, so its attacks were also much more powerful.

Many warriors died fighting this crystal giant. After many sacrifices, the crystal giant was defeated.

To everyone's surprise, a new type of crystal was found inside the giant's body. A fist-sized crystal and much brighter.

Experts analyzed the crystal and estimated that it is worth about a thousand crystals mined inside the mine, but it was not from anywhere in the mine. The value is equivalent to five hundred crystals mined within the Neutral Zone. This proves how valuable and rare this crystal is.

But how did this crystal giant come from? For what reason did it appear? Why did only the city controlled by the Temore Kingdom have such a giant?

No one knows the answer to these questions, so they could only send people to the city controlled by the Temore Kingdom to look for clues. Unfortunately, the only clue they found was from a location close to the border between the Neutral Zone and the city controlled by the Temore Kingdom.

In the most suspicious spot was where there was a large hole in the wall, cooled magma, and many broken crystal creatures, some crushed bodies were also found, but it was impossible to recognize the identity of the bodies because they were all crushed and turned into paste.

Along the way, many other bodies were found. These bodies were also crushed and destroyed. No one was able to identify the bodies.

The only thing that is known is that they are of noble people, miners, women, and bodyguards. The nobles of the city controlled by the Temore Kingdom realized that the place close to death is where their members were mining.

They were all extremely shocked to discover that their members died tragically.

After several days of searching, no other clues were found. This made everyone uneasy.

Only three people know why this happened. They were Liu Yang, Millia, and Missy.

Noble groups that were close to the site were killed by the crystal giant and the other crystal creatures. All were killed and there was no exception.

Liu Yang and Millia never imagined that their action would result in anything like that. It is unbelievable.

This secret is something they will keep for themselves, but what about Missy? Will she report this to her superiors? Or will she keep it a secret too?

Quickly, the news that the new type of crystal going to auction spread to all eleven cities. The big shots are getting ready to buy the item, as it is something very rare and new.

Such a crystal can be used to forge new types of weapons with unexpected effects. Effects that have never been put on other weapons before.



It took Liu Yang about half an hour to finish reading all the news.

What surprised him most was the news about a new type of crystal giant. Liu Yang finally understood why many groups were heading towards the city of the Temore Kingdom. He thought it was just some kind of coincidence.

But it turned out to be the crystal giant that he and Millia accidentally created.

At the same time, he understood that the other city in the Neutral Zone would be very excited. The crystal found inside the giant will be auctioned, but that will only happen in a few months.

This is the same auction that the auctioneer spoke of earlier during the auction where Liu Yang bought Millia.

(It seems that I will have to be more careful from now on and not destroy the walls any more using powerful explosions, otherwise, more powerful crystal giants can appear and cause a lot of problems. But if I'm cornered, I will do it again) Liu Yang thought.

Unless it is his last resort, he would never do something like that again.

"I am grateful for the service" Liu Yang thanked.

"Sir, is there anything else I can help with?" 

"Miss, I would like to know if there is any kind of mission board for adventurers of the Gold rank?" Liu Yang needed to venture a little further to train.

"Yes. On the third floor, we have a special quest board that only Gold-ranked adventurers can take. That is, unlike general missions on the first floor, the third floor only has missions with requirements to be a gold-ranked adventurer. But it's also good for the adventurers to go see the missions on the first floor because there can be dangerous missions that only strong people can do"Janna explained.

"I see ... Where's the mission board on the third floor?"

"The mission board is on that side." She pointed.

"I thank you for your help" 

"I thank you for using our services" Janna bowed and thanked him. She was happy to be able to earn some wealth by doing a little job for Liu Yang. She received a commission for buying the information for him.
