"The benefits of joining our Mage Association are numerous, for example..."

Shi Liuli skipped over the words she said, unaffected even if she spoke extravagantly.

Without expression, she focused her gaze on the table, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Isn't this the registration form of the Adventurer's Guild?

Shi Liuli rubbed her eyes and confirmed multiple times that it was indeed the form she filled out at noon in the Adventurer's Guild. The content on it was identical, even the seven large characters at the top that read 'Adventurer Information Registration' were exactly the same.

Hey! Aren't you afraid of being accused of copyright infringement by doing this? And isn't this supposed to be for the Mage Association!

"Um, are you really the Mage Association?" Shi Liuli couldn't help but ask for confirmation.

The woman seemed to not understand why Shi Liuli asked that. "Yes, we are the Mage Association. Isn't it hanging at the entrance?"

You even know that you are the Mage Association! Then what's the deal with this 'Adventurer Information Registration'?

Shi Liuli felt her intelligence being insulted, no, she was being rubbed into the ground.

Sensing something amiss, the woman followed Shi Liuli's gaze and finally understood why she asked that question.

"Well, this is actually... we..." She didn't know how to explain it, cursing the old bastards in her heart for using someone else's forms. Were they taking the newcomers for fools?

Shi Liuli: Oh? Should I praise you for being self-aware?

At that moment, there was a commotion coming from upstairs, gradually getting closer. Obviously, someone was arriving.

"Cang Yu, what the hell are you shouting for! Do you know what trouble you've caused me—!" The person who arrived was an old man of some age, with a long beard, dressed exactly like the woman at the front desk, wearing a mage's robe, and even a mage's hat on top.

He first scolded in their direction, then noticed Shi Liuli on the side, and his half-spoken words were suddenly stuck.

"Someone's here! Someone's here!"

Shi Liuli's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. She really wanted to flip the table and leave. These two people's reactions and words were exactly the same!

In fact, she did turn around and leave. She felt that this place wasn't where she should be. Maybe she should go to the Adventurer's Guild tomorrow and take a look!

"Hey! Why are you leaving? Wait, wait—"

"Don't go, it was a misunderstanding earlier, let me explain!" The two of them called out in unison, one on each side, stepping forward and stopping Shi Liuli from leaving.

Damn it, they didn't even intend to let her go!

Shi Liuli was already on the verge of losing her temper.

As if sensing her impatience, the woman quickly put on a smiley face and said, "We were unprofessional earlier. I sincerely apologize to you. Please let us explain."

Seeing that Shi Liuli was no longer insistent on leaving, the woman let go of her hand and gave a fierce glare to the old man beside her, signaling him to let go.

With a forced laugh, the old man obediently let go of his hand, appearing submissive, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to recover his reputation in the future.

Regaining her composure, the woman introduced herself, "I'm Cang Yu, a member of the Mage Association." She paused for a moment before continuing, "Are you thinking that our association has a good reputation but is actually unreliable?"

Shi Liuli nodded, accepting it.

She wasn't afraid to admit it since the other party couldn't overpower her anyway. Besides, although these two seemed unreliable, she didn't sense any ill intentions from them. Otherwise, she would have already slapped them.
