The Trainer Guild building had many floors and covered a vast area.
This time David Jones didn’t consult the receptionist; instead, he directly strolled around the floors with Rainbow.
He had been curious about the Trainer Guild for a long time, but last time he couldn’t have a good stroll around the building because he was training with John.
David first came to the fifth floor, which was the Trainer Guild’s task hall.
The Trainer Guild occasionally posted some bounty tasks, and trainers could obtain generous rewards by completing these tasks.
Of course, not all high-reward tasks from the guild could be resolved by trainers, leaving several tough tasks every year.
These difficult tasks piled up, hanging in the task hall year after year, but few trainers dared to step forward and take on these tasks.
As for the simpler training tasks, there was more demand than supply.
Although the rewards in Star coins were minimal, many students had recently obtained their contracted initial pets.
Money wasn’t an issue for some newly-qualified primary trainers.
They were in high spirits, eager to prove themselves, and wanted to prove their abilities through the tasks of the Trainer Guild.
So David, who was skilled, had no intention of taking on tasks and earning money at the Trainer Guild, because it was just too hectic!
He looked at the crowded and noisy hall, with trainers releasing even their small pets to prove their strength.
“Wow, there are so many people; luckily, I just wanted to have a look at the hustle and bustle.”
Looking at the crowded queues, David sighed with relief.
Subsequently, David took a stroll around the spacious hall; his attention was quickly drawn to some exotic pets by the trainers’ side.
He saw a handsome young man with a green “Cloud-rising Cicada” on his head.
This was a rare wood-type Superior pet in Waterland City.
This young man’s initial pet was the Cloud-rising Cicada, which meant he was a traveler from another city. David just didn’t know why he came to this remote Waterland City.
“Woof, woof.”
A vigorous growl immediately caught David’s attention. A trainer actually released such a medium-to-large pet in the task hall, unafraid of being fined by the Guild staff.
He looked at the source of the sound in surprise.
He saw a middle-aged man wearing a T-shirt and slippers, stroking a large mastiff with a purple-metallic sheen all over its body.
That was a top-grade Elite “Purple Steel Thunder Mastiff.”
This man must be rich, that was David’s first impression.
Purple Steel Thunder Mastiffs were similar to Earth Wolfhounds, but Earth Wolfhounds ate soil while these creatures ate Arcane Steel.
Unlike ordinary steel, Arcane Steel was a manmade product that contained a small amount of Arcane Force, making it extremely durable, and it also had the ability to transfer Arcane energy, making it valuable.
Therefore, this kind of pet that needed to eat several pieces of Arcane Steel per meal was very expensive to maintain, and only people with extensive resources could afford it!
Looking at the diverse pets nearby, David shook his head. He didn’t expect there to be so many hidden wealthy trainers in Waterland City.
“It’s a pity I’m not one of them,” David sighed inwardly.
After his sigh, David, whose attention had been drawn by the numerous pets, remembered his purpose in coming to the Trainer Guild today.
He hastily followed the signposts in the hall to the sixth floor of the building. The sixth floor was the specialized battleground provided by the Trainer Guild for many trainers.
As David reached the sixth floor and hadn’t walked far, a bright-eyed and smiling staff member approached and asked, “Hello, this is the Battle Ground, how can I help you?”
The overly enthusiastic girl made David a bit uncomfortable; he answered casually, “I’d like to battle. Are there any available fields?”
She smiled and nodded, “Not right now, but if you sit down and wait for a while, a duel platform will be available.”
David responded, “Alright.”
“Do you have a predetermined opponent? If not, we can provide you with a sparring partner with a similar skill level.
“No, I don’t. How much does it cost for you to arrange a sparring partner? ■’It’s only 1000 Star Coins for an hour, and there’s a huge discount if you book now – only 688 Star Coins.”
The girl’s face displayed a standard smile.
688 Star Coins?
David was taken aback when he heard the price. It wasn’t low – his meals usually cost 50 Star Coins.
Even Rainbow’s daily food, one Snow Lotus Elixir, cost 2000 Star Coins.
“Huh!”
David uttered a soft sound of surprise. On second thought, the price didn’t seem that expensive. He could barely accept it.
“Do I have to pay extra for the pet’s medical expenses after the duel?”
David continued to ask. If he could save on these medical expenses, he would make a reservation right away.
“Of course not. We will also take care of any damage caused to the field during the battle,” the girl replied with a nod.
Not to mention that the guild only provided battlegrounds for trainers below Elite level, but Class III pets weren’t even qualified to cause damage to the field. She didn’t believe that this young man could possibly have a pet above Class III at this age.
“Alright, please arrange a sparring partner with a Level X Fresh pet,” David said decisively.
“Okay, please come this way.”
Under her guidance, David arrived in an impressive hall, where several trainers were already sitting and waiting for their duels.
“Please wait a moment. When a sparring partner is available, the big screen above the hall will display the number of the field for you.”
After a while, the girl handed him a tablet, “Hello, this is the fixed procedure of the guild. There’s some information you need to fill in personally.
David glanced at it and quickly filled in the simple pet information questions. After handing the tablet back to the girl, he asked curiously, “Is it a full hour before the end of the duel?”
“Yes.”
The girl looked at him in surprise, “If you are confident, you can participate in our upcoming Apprentice Challenge.”
-If you can win 10 consecutive battles on the platform, you will receive our special gift package.”
David was interested and asked, “When does the competition start, and what are the requirements?”
He and Rainbow had just completed their hard training and urgently needed a large number of battles to increase their strength. Besides, he might even win a prize if he was lucky.
She smiled and said, “Since you’ve purchased the sparring package here, you automatically have the qualifications to participate. The competition will start next Monday at 8 a.m., and the venue is Battle Ground A area.”
The girl added, “The competition only accepts Fresh-level pets. Sir, you can have a try, and if you want to participate, I can sign you up right now.” David nodded with interest, “Thank you, please sign me up.”
He found the Apprentice Challenge quite interesting.
Whoever planned this event was a genius, creating a gimmick where one faces ten opponents..
