Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 700 - 619: Lantern Guild Anecdotes

"Beep! Beep! ..."

A sharp and somewhat piercing noise echoed in the room.

A rather sturdy arm reached over, covered with gray-yellow calluses, and slapped the alarm clock.

Soon the piercing noise in the room ceased.

Gnate opened his eyes and pulled back the curtain beside the bed, but there was no window behind the curtain, just a transparent window frame with the wall behind it.

However, as the curtain was drawn, the lights in the room automatically came on.

So, drawing the curtain was actually the light switch.

He lifted the quilt and got up, then tidied up the bed.

Wearing a loose vest, revealing a strong physique and dark skin, with a copper-colored lantern emblem on the back of his neck.

Gnate looked at the white wall behind the window frame and sighed.

He also wished the outside of the window was natural scenery and morning sunlight instead of a white wall.

But there was no way, decorative items with special functions like this usually required at least one magic stone to unlock and place in one's space.

And right now, he didn't have anything like a magic stone.

Another way was to accumulate contributions, but the problem was that the guild was currently very peaceful, with nothing requiring him and his squad to do.

Looks like we can only wait for the World Ring to open.

Thinking of this, Gnate felt a bit better, and then went to the adjoining washroom to take a morning shower.

The entire room's layout was very ordinary, not much different from some wooden rooms outside, a setup identical to the room setup in his hometown.

Gnate wasn't being nostalgic, having grown up in that room didn't leave much to be nostalgic about; it's just that without magic stones, it wasn't possible to carry out very beautiful renovations.

Ordinary decorations were just like that, not very meaningful.

Thinking of this, Gnate couldn't help but sigh.

He had been a member of the Lantern Guild for three months now.

The reason he and his teammates signed up to join the Lantern Warband was purely because at that time he and his teammates were particularly fond of Kane and their Fog Squad.

Back then, that magazine had many stories about Kane and his team.

Especially the mecha Kane used as a cover at that time, struck a chord with his heart.

He really liked these big and handsome things.

In addition, the Lantern Warband had just been established in their region, so they directly signed up to join.

Fortunately, their strength and talent were quite good, and they successfully became a member of the Lantern Guild's team.

At the time, they were all ready to prepare well from the ground up with this force.

After all, when they joined, they heard that the warband was just being formed.

However, once they joined, they realized they had been overthinking it; they were truly lucky to get in.

Thanks to the blessing of the Mist, they were able to join such a powerful force, which was beyond their imagination.

Thinking of this, Gnate dressed in his usual casual clothes, opened the door, and disappeared from this space.

When he reappeared, he was already in a somewhat noisy space.

This was the Guild Hall of the Lantern Guild, the place Gnate found most amazing.

Rumor has it they can even access this space from within a dungeon, though no one knows if it's true or not.

Since joining the guild, they did not have much time to explore the guild because the World Ring was about to open.

Only three months left.

"Oh, Brother Abby, good morning!"

Gnate suddenly saw a knight in armor he knew at the table nearby and greeted him, surrounded by a few other knights in the same armor.

Hearing Gnate's voice, Abby lifted his head: "So it's you, kid, getting up this late, how indecent."

Being guild members, everyone was already familiar with each other after a few months.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm off then." Gnate pressed his palms together as if in prayer, playing it off, and then hurriedly left, or else he'd be lectured again.

Looking at the tables around, most members were wearing similar types of armor.

Moreover, these members all had silver-level strength.

And it's said that Uncle Abby was the leader of this group.

When Gnate first joined, he thought this force didn't have many people, but little did he know there were more than 2000 members, all of silver level.

It shocked the members of Glat's squad silly.

But it's said these members aren't explorers; it seems they are in the World Ring.

Glat wasn't too clear on it either, as he had only been a member for three months and was a pure newcomer.

"Captain! Over here."

Hearing a clear female voice calling out, Gnate turned slightly, and sure enough, it was his teammate. He immediately walked over.

Sitting down by the table, all the other team members were already present, only he was missing.

"Sorry, got up late," Gnate said with a smile.

Things have been a bit leisurely lately, and he had relaxed a bit by default.

Then he knocked on the table.

A white spherical mechanism, upon hearing the tapping, flew over from mid-air.

Emitting a blue light from its sole eye, it fixed its gaze on Gnate, a robotic voice asking, "Hello, what can I get for you?"

"Two servings of egg pouches, three mixed pancakes, a bread for five people, and five glasses of milk."

Gnate said.

The round mechanical orb nodded and then flew towards Burton's bar.

The guild president, Kane, is a mechanician, and it's said he's also a master at the Mechanical Association.

Just like the Champion Knight of the Knight's Guild he joined.

They are extremely formidable in their respective professions.

Watching the mechanical orb disappear into the distance, Gnate lowered his head to look at his teammates.

Then he said to the female teammate who had just called him: "Daisy, have you prepared your materials? We've scheduled to meet Uncle Steel Armor soon for equipment attribute swapping."

The woman named Daisy took out a space pocket from her pocket and gestured: "Don't worry, I bought it yesterday."

Just as they were speaking, a rainbow-colored figure suddenly whizzed between them, heading towards the bar.

Lilulu's voice echoed midair: "Sorry!"

Daisy looked at the rainbow figure flying by and said with a smile: "No problem." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Gnate watched Lilulu's figure, a golden-level powerhouse who was also a member of the president's squad.

It could definitely be said she is an elder of the guild.

"Daisy, are you already so familiar with Lady Lilulu?" another teammate asked.

Daisy nodded: "Lady Lilulu is very kind and interesting, and her magic mastery is extraordinary. She even guided me at the training ground before."

"Speaking of the training ground, I haven't been there for a battle in days. Is anyone doing the arena today?" Gnate suddenly remembered and asked.

The so-called arena master is a guild member who, after experiencing a week of the training ground's various mechanics and functions, takes it upon themselves.

Guild members confident in their strength who want to train intensely can take on the role of arena master on a specially set-up stage.

This stage is specially set up, and after each battle, the arena master's resources are refreshed until they are defeated.

This means the arena master is willing to accept challenges from anyone in the guild.

Such battles in the training ground are quite beneficial to both parties.

Because the so-called arena can change its environment based on thoughts, simulating any battlefield.

Daily, the arena is voluntarily taken by everyone; of course, if you're not confident in your strength, don't go up to humiliate yourself.

His teammate replied: "There is, rumor has it that He is the arena master today."

Upon hearing his teammate's words, an image of a child-like angel girl appeared in his mind, and he involuntarily shivered.

"Forget it, I'd better go train with the Knight Order members."

Although He is of the Angel Race, she fights with extreme ferocity.

Wielding a golden sword larger than herself, her attacks are powerful, wide-ranging, and fast, with self-recovery abilities.

Gnate had fought her before and was cut in half in just three strikes.

Let alone training or learning, even reacting was very challenging.

Thinking about it, Gnate couldn't help but sigh; their squad is arguably the weakest in the entire guild.

Whether in combat or fundamental strength, it's all the same.

After all, they are just barely at the silver level, and the guild members are all stronger than them.

He can only last a bit longer in battles with Knight Order members and avoid being utterly crushed.

At that moment, he saw two little twin girls chasing each other in the hall, followed by a chubby little boy dressed in a neat and serious little suit.

Alright, maybe not the absolute weakest.

Thinking he was comparing his strength with children made him even more gloomy.

"I heard Uncle Burton will give a shield defense techniques class at training ground's platform number 3 at noon." Daisy suddenly said.

She had just passed by Adoma's front desk and saw it on the notice board.

Hearing Daisy's words, Gnate immediately perked up, seemingly dispelling his previous gloominess: "Really?"

Daisy nodded, then gestured towards the front desk: "If you don't believe me, go check yourself; I just saw it on the notice board of the former group."

With that, Gnate immediately got up and walked towards the notice board next to the front desk.

"Training techniques from a golden-level expert, that's great. When will Lady Bonona hold another session, sigh." A girl in their team with a bow and arrows on her back said.

In the guild, some members highly skilled in specific techniques are granted the title of Instructor.

Those with the Instructor title can be viewed in the guild's section, along with their respective expertise.

Almost everyone has had the chance to experience once or twice the high-level skills of these instructors; learning from them felt surprisingly straightforward.

Every time they attended these classes, they gained significantly.

Like Bonona's archery and ranged shooting skills, Burton's shield control and defense techniques, and it's said there will soon be courses on dungeon monster weakness identification techniques.

Especially the president's Explorer team members, almost everyone has an Instructor title, and they boast a myriad of skills.

Particularly Vice President, Kreya's close combat weapons course, which is attended by the most people.

Because this course is suitable for all who use close combat weapons in the guild.

After hearing her teammate's complaint, Daisy couldn't help but say: "It would be great if Lady Lilulu were willing to hold a session, but I've heard the president forced her to hold one before, and she sneaked away halfway through, such a pity."

Upon hearing Daisy's words, everyone couldn't help but recall this distinctive Little Fairy's usual behavior in the guild hall.

Strangely fitting, and not at all surprising.

At that moment, they suddenly saw a figure walk past.

All said in unison: "President!"

"Oh, hello."

It was Kane, who was rare to see taking a stroll.
