Hitman with a Badass System-Chapter 8: The first quest

"Young master"

The girl called out to him when she came back with a pouch of coins.

"Two hundred silver coins, as promised, young master, please check it"

"Two hundred silver coins"

The system's voice rang in his mind.

"No need, I need your help with something else though"

"Please tell me, young master"

"I decided to take this quest, is there a procedure I have to take care of before taking a quest? "

The girl nodded and took out a small form from her desk

"You need to register with the adventure guild, young master, do you wish to join the guild now?"

"Yes I do"

"Wonderful"

The girl revealed all of her pearl white teeth by letting out a wide grin

"Please fill this form, young master"

The form had pretty standard stuff like name, cultivation level, party name, and party members.

Micheal didn't plan to form a party as he liked to do things alone and the only reason he was putting up with Gaya was she had knowledge about this world and he could use that knowledge to his advantage. He thought of her as pink, his aide in the earth.

But he was planning to recruit more people as his subordinates and expand his influence throughout the world, so he could sit back and enjoy the wealth created by them while growing stronger and stronger. For the time being, he liked to do things alone like a lone wolf.

So on the form, he only filled his name and cultivation level and left everything else blank.

"The Ghost?"

The girl looked perplexed looking at his name but it was quite usual for the adventurers to use names like these, therefore she didn't ask any question.

"Young master, if you don't know any party to join, the guild can suggest you parties that look for one more member?"

"No need, I like to work alone"

"I'm right here"

Gaya's voice sounded in his mind

"But young master?"

"I can look after myself, miss, trust me"

"Pretty face and no brains, pity, what a handsome lad but he's going to end up dead"

The girl sighed inside and nodded.

After taking one last glance at the form, a white light appeared from the girl's hand as she scanned the form using the light.

"Here's your adventurer card, young master, if you lose it, you have to pay fifty silver coins at any of our branches and receive another one, each quest you successfully complete will give you points and added to your card, harder the quest, more points you'll earn and more points you earn, the more high-value quest will be presented to you by the guild"

As she said, she gave him his adventurer card.

It was a yellow card the size of a credit card with his name etched on it.

"Young master, what's the quest that you wish to take?"

He placed the notice on the table but when the girl saw the notice, her eyes widened in shock.

"Young master, this quest, are you sure you want to take this? This has marked by the disciples of the morning star sect"

"Those shitheads again, f**k"

"Can I take it or not?"

He had read enough novels to realize that most of the sects are just assholes who like to bully the weak and he didn't like to be bullied.

"Young master, you can but"

"Let me guess, no one would take the quests that have this mark"

He pointed at the Star mark on the corner of the notice as the girl nodded.

"I'm taking this, if they have any problem with that they can find me"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 50 badass points and a teleportation scroll]

"You shouldn't have done that, human"

He didn't mind Gaya as he put the card and the pouch in his pocket and left the guild leaving everyone who heard he was taking the morning star's quest stunned.

"He's dead"

"What an arrogant kid, look, he's just at foundation stage "

"Look at his clothes, I bet he came from another kingdom and know nothing about Elen"

On his way out, he heard several people muttering about him as he exited the building and made his way towards the tavern he saw earlier.

"Shit, human, that was a dumb move, if you get killed, they'll get me too and how can you heal me if you're dead?"

"Relax, I'm not the one who dies, sweetheart, I'm the one who kills"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 50 badass points]

"You better not die, human, I don't want to get caught by lowly humans and sold to Naga land"

"We think about that later, now I want to eat and get a good sleep listening to the rain and thunder"

"Lucky cat tavern"

From the outside, the tavern looks snug, intimate and warm. Large and small stones and marble stones made up most of the building's outer structure.

It was impossible to see through the stained glass windows, but despite the sound of thunderclaps and rain hitting the roofs, the warm noises from within could be felt outside.

As he entered the tavern through the hard wooden door, he was welcomed by laughing voices and the smile of a waitress.

The bartender was working hard but still managed to welcome him with a smile.

It was as charming inside as it was on the outside. Several walls supported the upper floor and the rows of small candles attached to them. The walls were littered with so many different memorabilia, he was not sure if they tried going for a specific style at one time or just put up anything they liked.

The tavern itself was packed. Adventurers seemed to be the primary clientele here, which would often lead to exciting evenings. Several long tables were occupied by, what must be separate groups who have bonded over great food and conversation. The other, smaller tables were also occupied by people who clearly enjoy each other's company, though they seemed to be strangers who have met here. Even most of the stools at the bar are occupied, though nobody seemed to mind more company.

Making his way through the crowd, he managed to find a seat and waved at the waitress as she came running to him with a wide grin on her face.

"Welcome to Lucky cats, young master, what can I get you?"

He was surprised by the beauty of this girl because if she was in his world, she could have been a dazzling actress.she had the perfect figure and golden blonde hair to complement her rosy cheek and fairness.

But she seemed like the person who gets harassed by these adventures and strangers so he didn't say anything about her beauty and hit on her.

"What's on the menu?"

"pan-Fried Lemon Yak, Smoked Beets, and Lemon Mammoth

Tenderized Rice and Fish and finally today's special Poached Creamy Mutton"

He had never heard of these dishes and couldn't wait to try, especially the special

"Give me a special"

"That'd be ten silver, What do you want to drink? Young master, we have ale and freshly brewed beer"

"Just hot water, put some lemon and mint leaves if you have any"

The waitress seemed surprised but she nodded and ran back to the kitchen to bring his order.

"Do you want anything?"

He asked Gaya slightly brushing his wrist

"Humph, how could I eat in a place like this? I have standards, human, unlike some"

"Even with crippled cultivation, you still act bitchy, they should have broken your mouth instead of the meridians"

"Hisss"

She hissed at him but that only made him grin.

And after a few moments, the waitress brought him his order as he gave her fifteen silver coins.

"Keep it and do you have rooms to stay the night?"

Her face brightened in delight seeing the tips

"Of course, young master, we have a few rooms available and if you want, I can put you in our cleanest room"

"And how much would that be?"

"Five silver coins a night, young master"

He took out another five coins and handed over to her

"I'll bring you the key and show you the room when you finish your meal, young master"

"Great"

The waitress smiled again and went to take other orders while he started to stuff the juicy meat into his mouth.

"This is delicious"

Eventually, he finished his meal as the waitress showed him his room.

The room was nothing like the fancy rooms he used to stay in his world but they more resembled the rooms of the shady motels. It had a single bed, a small table, a chair, an old mirror, and a candle holder with a half-burned candle.

"System, do you have a clean bed sheet and a pillow, I don't want to sleep in that thing?"

He wondered if this was the cleanest room, how the other rooms would look like. The bedsheet looked ancient and the various stains on it were enough to make him spend his precious badass points.

"Five badass points"

"Yeah, I'll buy it��

When he exited the system, he had a new thick silk bedsheet and a new fluffy cotton pillow in his hand.

After throwing away the old bedsheet and putting his new one as well as removing his boots, he jumped onto the bed.
