Chapter 5: Mother! Knowledge Can Truly Change Fate!

**Chapter Five: Mother! Knowledge Can Truly Change Fate!**

Exclamations echoed near the Adventurers' Guild, drawing the attention of passersby.

Over a dozen adventurers gathered, looking as astonished as if they had seen a rooster playing basketball and laying eggs afterward.

"Isn't that Mr. Kamal, the president of the Adventurers' Guild?"

"Why does he look so shocked? Is something serious going on?"

"Let me go take a look too!"

The city's residents couldn't help but gather to read the commission board's contents.

In the next moment, there was a collective gasp of "Wow."

"Big... Big money for hiring a wife!?"

"What?! A regular girl from a good family gets a dowry of five million Mora!?"

"My god! Five million Mora! And five million more for a baby!"

"A powerful adventurer... ten million!?"

"I—I'm going!"

"You? They want a powerful adventurer. You're scared of slimes, so forget it!"

"Wait a minute! Scholars get fifteen million!"

"Hiss! The golden house in the books is real! Mother, you didn't lie to me!!!"

"Why are scholars worth more than adventurers! I regret not studying more!"

"So knowledge really can change fate! Ugh, if only I had known earlier, I would have studied hard!"

"Wait! Those with the Eyes of God get ten times the amount!!!"

"A hundred million Mora! Oh my god!"

"..."

As they exclaimed, the news spread quickly.

One told ten, ten told a hundred.

In less than ten minutes, all of Baoshang Street was buzzing with the news!

Even the 30-man regiment of mercenaries patrolling nearby heard about it and immediately went on alert.

"Hey, go inform the superiors; I'll check the situation!"

As a mercenary of the 30-man regiment, it was their duty to protect the people of Sumeru. Such an exaggerated offer was likely a new form of scam!

Are you kidding me?

How could anyone pay that much money?

Throughout Sumeru, there are many Mora masters, but you can count them on ten fingers.

However, among these masters, there isn't anyone named "Ye Xi"!

After asking his colleagues to report to their superiors, Farid quickly made his way to the Adventurers' Guild. At this point, the crowd gathered had blocked the streets of Baoshang Street!

Seeing this, Farid immediately stepped forward to disperse the crowd, then approached Catherine and asked, "Miss Catherine, please don't make such jokes!"

"A reward this high has to be some villain's trick. I ask that you..."

"Are you questioning the credibility of the Adventurers' Guild?"

Before Farid could finish his statement, Catherine interrupted his questioning.

Catherine frowned slightly, took out the bag of gemstones in public, poured a pile of gems from it, and said, "This is the handling fee paid by that gentleman."

Farid's mouth immediately formed an "O," and the surrounding crowd was also stunned.

"Hisss...."

"My God, these gemstones look like ancient treasures! They must be worth a fortune!"

"Master Ye Xi isn't joking; he's really rich!"

"This commission is real!"

"..."

Indeed, after seeing the proof, the crowd quickly calmed down from their initial shock.

If you think about it, it still seemed somewhat unreal.

After all, who could have such terrifying financial resources?

So much money to hire a wife? It's incredible!

But now, seeing those rare, gleaming gemstones completely shattered any doubts.

"It seems to be true! Miss Catherine, I want to sign up!"

"Me, me, me! I'm signing up too!"

"Is it true that girls without special skills can do it? Then I'll join as well..."

Suddenly, the crowd became lively again, and countless girls lined up to register at the Adventurers' Guild.

Farid was completely bewildered.

He carefully examined several gemstones but couldn't tell if they were real or fake.

"Yes... I'm sorry, Miss Catherine, I apologize to the Adventurers' Guild!"

After speaking, Farid fled in embarrassment towards headquarters.

This matter now depended on orders from above!

.....

The news spread from the lower ranks up, soon reaching the Holy Order on the higher floors.

Scholars from various universities also caught wind of it.

"Did you hear? A master named Ye Xi came to the city and wants to hire a wife for a huge sum of money! Commoners get 500w Mora! Adventurers get 1000w Mora!"

"Pfft, it's only five million. When our mentor applies for a major project, he can get five million in funding too! I've seen women with a lot of money, but is this like selling myself?"

"Oh, Master Ye Xi said the scholar's salary is 1500w... Eh? Why are you leaving!?"

"I'm off to meet the man of my dreams~"

"Ah...wait for me!"

Seeing her friend rush off, the girl rolled her eyes helplessly, then hurriedly followed.

It wasn't just ordinary scholars; even mentors were moved.

"No wonder all my students have left!"

"Hey, if I weren't afraid of being mocked by my students, I'd want to go too..."

"That's right, the funds issued by the Holy Order aren't enough to sustain my research projects. With this money, I could buy proper equipment!"

"No, for the sake of research, I'll try my luck! I hope Master Ye Xi likes me!"

"...."

More and more scholars and mentors heard the news and were deeply tempted.

In the quiet classroom courtyard, the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed.

In the next moment, the gates of the Holy Order's Academy opened, and a large group of scholars rushed out, heading straight for the Adventurers' Guild...
