Carlotta's Daily Report-Chapter 102: Thick Skin

When Carlotta entered the association hall, she took out a lot of items, unwrapping them one by one. Inside were proofs that the commissions had been completed.

The staff quickly recorded everything, looking at Carlotta with extremely strange expressions, completely unable to understand how she had managed to complete so many commissions in such a short time.

In no time, 50 commissions were tallied.

"It’s confirmed, your adventurer group has indeed completed 50 commissions. Here are your contribution points, 1,246,173. Please check if it’s correct."

As the staff said this, many people’s expressions changed, looking at Carlotta with suspicion and uncertainty.

In such a short time, 50 commissions were actually completed?

Not only were the people in the association hall astonished, but there was also a commotion on the streets outside the association, as multiple amplification cards were in effect, broadcasting the sounds from inside the association.

The fact that the Moonlight Adventurer Group had taken on 50 commissions at once was no secret, and many people knew about it, spreading the news within a certain range, and this had happened not long ago.

In such a short time, all 50 commissions had been completed, making it hard for people not to take notice.

Even Soniya, who was in a state of confusion at the moment, couldn’t help but glance at Carlotta a few more times.

"They actually managed to complete them?"

Even among the outstanding adventurer groups in the association hall, many felt a pang of envy for a moment.

Over a million contribution points was no small amount. Although given time, everyone could earn that much, the Moonlight Adventurer Group had earned these points in just one day?

A million in a day? What kind of concept was that? They could exchange it for over six million Fiels.

"Your Moonlight Adventurer Group is quite formidable. On the surface, there are only two people, but there are actually more, right?"

Someone spoke up, a tall and thin man from the Shadow Adventurer Group, one of the Deputy leaders, and a genuine Listener, above the tier of an apprentice.

"Even with more people, achieving this is still astonishing. It has nothing to do with the number of people or the strength of the group."

Another person spoke, a burly man clad in armor and holding a shield, from the Rock Shield Adventurer Group.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Completing 50 commissions in a day was truly outrageous. Even with several Listeners in their adventurer groups, they couldn’t do it, which inevitably made them feel a bit shocked.

Under the gaze of many, Carlotta remains calm and composed.

Having done something so eye-catching, it was no surprise that she was being targeted, but she wasn’t too worried. As long as she secured a spot on Sky Island, she could easily discard the identity of the Moonlight Adventurer Group leader. Once she took off the Illusory Mask, who would know she was the leader of the Moonlight Adventurer Group?

At this moment, the Deputy leader of the Shadow Adventurer Group spoke again, "Your Moonlight Adventurer Group, while completing commissions, why did you actively attack and kill members of other adventurer groups?"

His name was Spencer Terrance, and he suddenly made his move, looking at Carlotta with a glint of darkness in his eyes.

Carlotta frowned, "Don’t slander others casually. When have we ever actively killed anyone?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Spencer sneered, "Afraid to admit it? When you wiped out the Wave Breaker Adventurer Group, it’s not like no one saw what happened from a distance. Do you think you can keep this a secret?"

There was a commotion both inside and outside the association.

The Wave Breaker Adventurer Group was not an unknown group. Its leader, Burrito, was a ninth-tier apprentice, and the other members were also of high tier, so many people knew about them.

Carlotta suddenly realized, "You’re talking about them? Yes, we did wipe them out, but we didn’t actively harm them. They attacked us, and they died in our counterattack."

She recalled the situation at the time. When they wiped out the Wave Breaker Adventurer Group, absolutely no one saw the battle scene. She had confirmed this through the Moonlight.

On the contrary, when the Moonlight left, they encountered other ships heading towards the previous location. It was likely that someone had discovered the wreckage of the Wave Breaker Adventurer Group’s ship, and since the Moonlight had passed by there not long ago, they made this speculation.

She had no intention of denying it, because as she said, it was indeed the Wave Breaker Adventurer Group who made the first move.

"At any time, being attacked and choosing to counterattack is a reasonable action, right? You can’t just not fight back when attacked?"

Carlotta said unhurriedly.

Spencer snorted, "The Wave Breaker Adventurer Group leaves no survivors, so of course, you can say whatever you want."

"Are you trying to make a stand?"

Carlotta glanced at Spencer.

She recalled the information about the Shadow Adventurer Group. Besides being an adventurer group, they also doubled as a pirate group, skilled in assassination, and each member was extremely cold.

Spencer said solemnly, "I had a good relationship with Burrito, so I can’t just let this matter go. No matter who made the first move, he’s already dead. I have to do something."

Carlotta sneered at this statement.

She knew that Spencer was probably not familiar with the members of the Wave Breaker Adventurer Group, but had just happened to learn about this incident and was using it as an excuse to cause trouble for her.

Spencer continued, "Does your Moonlight Adventurer Group dare to have a duel? Betting on equal contribution points, the winner takes all. I just want to do something for my deceased friend."

Carlotta shook her head, "If you want our contribution points, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"

Spencer argued, "I’m just standing up for a friend."

Carlotta said, "Then why bet on contribution points? Why not just have a deathmatch?"

Spencer said: "That’s too barbaric. Among adventurer groups, settling grudges with contribution point duels is a tradition."

Indeed, such a tradition exists among adventurer groups.

But Carlotta also knew that Spencer was shifting the topic to this because he was targeting her group’s contribution points.

Not just Spencer, but the eyes of the other adventurer groups also lit up, wondering if they should also claim a connection to Burrito and challenge them to a duel for a friend.

Someone spoke up directly, "I’ve also met Burrito several times, chatting in taverns."

"I’ve also cooperated with Burrito."

"Burrito, I was planning to introduce my niece to him."

"I’ve been blessed by Burrito."

One after another, people speak, all pretending to be very familiar with Burrito, making Carlotta want to laugh.

Poor Burrito, who had few friends in life, but after death, he suddenly had many so-called friends.

Amelia had been silent all along, leaving things to Carlotta to handle, but seeing this scene, she was also shocked by everyone’s shamelessness.

The shamelessness of nobles was hidden behind the scenes, silent and subtle.

But some people’s shamelessness didn’t need to be so roundabout; it was directly on the surface.

Carlotta swept her gaze across the numerous adventure groups and couldn’t help but said, "You all have such thick skin."

Being called out by a young girl, some adventurers felt a bit awkward, but they were in the minority. Most indeed had thick skin and remained unfazed, still recounting their various past experiences with Burrito.

It’s just unclear whether Burrito himself remembers these so-called experiences.

Carlotta straightforwardly said, "You just want to challenge me to a duel, right? Fine, but I’m a seventh-tier apprentice. You can’t have a Listener duel with me, can you?"

She stirred her magic, revealing the reflections of a seventh-tier apprentice.

Spencer immediately said, "Of course, we’ll also have an apprentice duel with you."

He only mentioned an apprentice, not specifying the tier, clearly aiming for an advantage in rank.

Carlotta knew Spencer’s intentions, but she didn’t care.

A duel wasn’t a bad thing for her; she was familiar with this tradition of resolving grievances between adventure groups.

Both sides will put up the same amount of contribution points and send designated individuals to fight, with the winner taking all the contribution points.

Wasn’t this a great opportunity for her to make a fortune?

These people had their eyes on her contribution points, and she had her eyes on theirs. Who would ever think they had enough contribution points?

Carlotta straightforwardly used her seventh-tier rank as bait, saying, "As long as it’s an apprentice, it’s considered fair. Anyone else who wants to duel me can step forward, and I’ll personally fight the apprentice you designate."

Many adventure groups’ eyes lit up immediately.

A seventh-tier apprentice was indeed not low, but if they sent a ninth-tier apprentice, how could they possibly lose?

Amelia glanced at Carlotta, knowing she was fishing.

At that moment, someone reminded her, "You’re a seventh-tier apprentice. If you only require an apprentice as an opponent, they’ll send a ninth-tier apprentice."

The reminder came from a lady in the Rainbow Adventure Group, who couldn’t bear to see Carlotta being bullied by so many people.

As soon as she spoke, the surrounding adventure groups cast dissatisfied glances, feeling she was being a bit of a nuisance. What if she made Carlotta wary?

Carlotta smiled slightly, "It’s fine. A ninth-tier apprentice is nothing to worry about; I can handle it."

The lady from the Rainbow Adventure Group moved her lips, momentarily at a loss for words, not understanding why Carlotta was so confident.

Even though the gap between adjacent apprentice tiers wasn’t that large, there was still an eighth tier between the seventh and ninth tiers.

Seeing Carlotta showed no intention of backing down, the members of the adventure groups breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, numerous adventure groups stepped forward, expressing their desire to duel Carlotta, fearing she might change her mind.

Carlotta accepted all challengers and even said to Sonia, "Please, Ms. Dalsheim, testify this for us."

Sonia’s expression was subtle, not expecting such an interlude, but since both sides had no objections, she naturally had no issues.

"I can testify and ensure this is a duel between apprentices. Also, I don’t want to see blood."

She was reminded the other adventure groups not to go too far, not wanting them to harm Carlotta.

Hearing this, Carlotta felt a bit regretful that she couldn’t teach the others a harsh lesson, but she knew Sonia was protecting her, so she didn’t say much.

It was quickly decided that ten adventure groups would send representatives to duel Carlotta.

Each duel was set at 100, 000 contribution points.
