Although there were many vehicles on the road, thanks to Abaida's good traffic control, the two didn't encounter any traffic jams.

Along the way.

Dick chatted with Baiyu about various things regarding the Adventurer Association, giving him a preliminary impression of this organization.

It's a loose organization.

There are no strict obligations for members.

Upon arriving at the gates of the Adventurer Association, Baiyu's belief in this impression deepened once again.

There were many people in front of the gates.

Inside the hall, there was an enormous commission center.

Here.

Employers issued commissions, adventurers accepted them. Baiyu glanced over, and there were all sorts of commissions.

Large commissions included escorting merchant ships for interstellar trade and investigating uninhabited zones, among others.

Smaller commissions included searching for people or things, even helping to build houses or repair home appliances…

Incredibly varied.

"This is the mission hall, all the commissions are posted here. Of course, I refer to the external commission missions,"

Dick said with a low chuckle.

Baiyu was intrigued, "The members of the Adventurer Association, aren't they here?"

"Of course, members have dedicated lounges, commission rooms, and trading rooms. I can take you to visit them. But first, you must prove you have the ability to become a member, which is a necessity for joining. However, Mr. Geman, since you have fought your way through the Star Sea and successfully accumulated wealth, I think this test won't be difficult for you."

Dick hinted with significance.

Baiyu smiled and said, "Surviving the deep, dark universe mostly relies on luck. The dangers lurking in the depths of the stars could take away our fragile human lives at any moment."

Clearly.

Dick's membership test was for checking if one was an Extraordinary.

Only the Extraordinary were qualified to enter the interior of the Adventurer Association and become one of its members.

So Baiyu subtly indicated that he understood this and had knowledge in this area.

"Luck is also part of strength, isn't it?" Dick, leading the way, soon brought Baiyu to a vacant room.

The room was dimly lit, with a wooden table in the center, seated was a woman with black hair and white sclera without pupils.

She wore a white robe, which was somewhat startling at first glance.

But in the Extraordinary World, strange things were everywhere, so Baiyu only felt a slight surprise before diverting his gaze.

"Mr. Geman, do you mind sitting in the chair?"

The woman spoke.

Her voice was like a nightingale's, extremely pleasant to hear.

Baiyu nodded, calmly sitting across from the woman.

"Each of our members has a card representing their identity and can wear a mask to participate in internal gatherings of adventurers under a false identity. This is our protection of each member's privacy and safety.

Of course, you can also show your true face, in this regard, we do not have any requirements."

The woman extended her right hand and swept across the table, revealing a set of cards.

Baiyu glanced over them briefly; there were thirty cards in total, twenty-two of which were face up.

"The flipped cards have already been selected, you can only choose from the face-down ones," the woman's pleasant voice echoed again.

Baiyu was puzzled, "Wasn't there a test as well?"

From the moment he entered the room, there had been no test at all.

"Drawing a card means you passed the test," the woman gently said. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Baiyu no longer hesitated, drawing a card from the spread pile.

"This card is Black Night, from now on you can use Black Night to substitute your name within the Adventurer Association. Of course, if you want to use your real name, we do not stop you."

After saying this, the woman retracted the card pile.

Dick quickly came up, smiling at Baiyu, "Let's go, I'll take you to the activity area in the back."

Baiyu examined the card in his hand.

It depicted a scene of darkness, surging like waves across the land.

The Black Night card.

Baiyu felt this card drawing had another meaning, but for the time being, he couldn't figure it out, especially since he didn't think the Adventurer Association would harbor any hostility towards a stranger like him.

Every adventurer who survives the Star Sea deserves to be taken seriously.

Even if they intended to harm him, they wouldn't use such a clumsy method, as it does nothing but raise his suspicion.

"Mr. Geman, do you need a mask?"

At this moment, Dick asked.

Baiyu thought for a moment, nodded, "Sure, I always like maintaining a sense of mystery."

Dick laughed heartily, handed Baiyu a black mask, and then said, "By the way, Mr. Geman, you haven't paid the membership fee yet."

Baiyu's expression gradually froze.

He thought passing the test meant he didn't have to pay the membership fee.

...

After receiving the membership fee, Dick quickly returned to the room where Baiyu had drawn the card. Once inside, he saw the woman in a pure white robe wiping blood from her face with both hands.

Faint trails of blood tears trickled down from the corners of her eyes.

"Saintess, what happened?"

Dick's expression changed drastically, extremely anxious.

The woman shook her head, "I peeked into that person's fate trajectory."

"Were you counterattacked?"

Dick found it hard to believe. They had always been very strict in their membership tests, and fate observation was an indispensable part.

Although unable to see specific things.

They could vaguely sense whether a person's fate was good or bad and whether it might bring disaster to the Adventurer Association.

This situation had never happened before!

The Adventurer Association club had developed over twenty members, each a formidable adventurer.

But none had ever encountered such a situation.

After all, observing fate is only as an onlooker, observing the other's fate trajectory without any interference or ability to change it.

Yet just one glance resulted in such severe injuries.

As if gazing upon a Divine Spirit.

"Phew, don't investigate him anymore, he should be a Divine Favored. When I saw him, it was all darkness and I couldn't sense anything, then my eyes faced retaliation. If I hadn't stopped the observation in time, I might be blind now."

The Saintess said with lingering fear.

Dick was drenched in cold sweat, his face troubled, "But we have already accepted him as a member, what should we do now?"

"Do nothing, let everything develop on its own. As long as he doesn't harm us, it's fine."

The Saintess sighed.

The plan, which was going well, now suddenly had an unforeseen variable, uncertain if it was good or bad.

The upcoming events in Abaida are unlikely to be peaceful.

Various forces are converging here, even the Divine Favored have started appearing…
