After searching for a long time with Yuxi, Lanling Wang finally found 20 books. Lanling Wang said to Yuxi, "Now that we have found 20 books, let's go."

Yuxi asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going to look for it for a while longer?"

Lanling Wang smiled and replied: "It may already be noon of the next day!"

Yuxi was surprised and asked, "It's so late already?"

Lanling Wang patted his stomach and said, "Well, I'm hungry."

Yuxi said with emotion: "I feel that I am getting more and more able to endure hunger now. I don't feel anything even if I don't eat for a whole day..."

Lanling Wang smiled and explained: "Maybe you were so nervous that you forgot you were hungry."

Yuxi said aggrievedly: "No, I'm often hungry, I'm used to it, hehe~"

Lanling Wang jokingly said: "You make me sound so pitiful."

He pulled Yuxi out of the cave. The midday sun shone on their bodies, and they felt as if they were in another world.

Yuxi muttered, "I'm so hungry..."

Lanling Wang smiled and said, "Hand in the book first and then go eat."

When I arrived at the bulletin board, it was surrounded by people.

Lanling Wang came up to Jialuo and said, "Hello, we are here to hand over the books." After that, he handed the book to Jialuo.

Jia Luo took the books, counted them and nodded: "20 books, a total of 1000 gold coins, please keep them."

"Thank you." Yuxi came up and took the gold coin. I thought the matter was over, but Jialuo's beautiful eyes kept staring at the two of them.

Jia Luo praised: "You two are very powerful, would you like to consider becoming my retainers?"

Yuxi asked curiously, "What does a doorman do?"

Lanling Wang explained: "They are her exclusive mercenaries, and they obey her orders."

Jia Luo smiled and said, "Yes."

Yuxi asked tentatively: "How much is the commission?"

"500 gold coins per month, and there will be extra salary for regular missions," Jia Luo said slowly, and then added: "But the premise is that you have to obey my orders and be available at any time."

Yuxi was moved: "It feels good, I can consider it!"

Lanling Wang suddenly stepped forward and said, "Sorry, we are not interested. We will leave first." Then he turned to Yuxi and said softly, "Let's go and have dinner first."

Lanling Wang turned away indifferently, seemingly showing no interest in everything around him. Yuxi sighed softly and tried to persuade him to stay, but received no response.

"Sorry, we have to go eat first." Yuxi could only say to Jialuo helplessly.

Jia Luo also politely replied: "It's okay, you can come to me anytime when you have made up your mind."

"Okay, goodbye then." Yuxi waved, then turned around and caught up with Lanling King.

Lanling Wang walked into an ordinary restaurant in the main city area, and Yuxi followed closely behind him, handing him a bag of gold coins.

Lanling Wang refused and said, "Keep it for yourself."

"Then I'll take my share, 250 coins."

"It's okay to give it all to you."

"No, you keep it for yourself."

"Aren't you short of money?" asked Lanling Wang.

Yuxi smiled bitterly: "You have to live too, don't you?"

Lanling Wang compromised: "Then I'll take half."

Yuxi insisted: "It's what we agreed on." He admitted: "Actually, I'm not that short of money."

Lanling Wang was speechless, then he sighed: "In this chaotic world, your character is really rare. You seem like someone who walked out of a peaceful and prosperous era, defenseless and too real."

Yuxi admitted frankly: "I was born in a peaceful and prosperous era."

Lanling Wang smiled slightly: "Really?" He sincerely advised: "Then, I advise you not to become anyone's retainer, no matter how high the salary they offer."

Yuxi was puzzled: "Why?"

Lanling Wang said solemnly: "Becoming a retainer means that I may die for her at any time." He looked at Yuxi with a deep look in his eyes: "Isn't it good to be free? Why do you have to be someone else's puppet?"

Yuxi nodded silently to show her understanding.

Lanling Wang said no more, put away the remaining gold coins, and ordered a few dishes. Soon, Western-style baked naan and beef and mutton were placed on the table. In this Thousand Caves City, even the daily diet reveals the unique Western style.

Since Yuxi set foot in this new world, this was the first time she tried flavors other than barbecue, and her eyes were sparkling with anticipation and curiosity.

"Yuxi, I haven't tasted this pasta for a long time..." He said softly, as if he was savoring a forgotten memory.

The feeling was like a long drought and then a rain, and he was so moved that he almost cried. "What kind of life have I been leading these days?" He said to himself, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

However, when he was immersed in the world of food, the voice of Lanling King broke his intoxication.

"Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?" Lanling Wang teased, but when he tasted the food, his behavior was like that of a gentle and elegant nobleman.

"You have never been hungry, so how do you know how I feel now?" They rejected Lanling King's words after swallowing a mouthful of meat, and were about to continue eating.

There was a strange movement in the chest pocket.

"嘤嘤嘤∽"

Yuxi was slightly stunned, smiled awkwardly, and then took out the little fire lizard from his pocket.

"Little guy, do you want to try it too?" he asked softly, handing the pasta to the little creature.

Surprisingly, the little fire lizard actually became interested in pasta.

Yuxi couldn't help but frowned curiously: "What on earth is this?" he muttered to himself.

Lanling Wang glanced at the little fire lizard and said lightly: "It's not a good thing anyway." However, the little fire lizard didn't seem to care about their comments and just continued to eat happily.

"Since you like to cry so much, I'll call you the cry monster." Yuxi smiled and gave the little fire lizard a name.

The Yingying monster seemed to have accepted the new name and made a cheerful cry.

Lanling Wang looked at this scene and asked helplessly, "Do you really want to raise this thing?"

Yuxi shrugged, "I'm really bored right now anyway, it's nice to have a little guy to keep me company."

After dinner, Yuxi put the Yingying monster back into her pocket, and Lanling Wang suggested taking him to the market.

The market was filled with a dazzling array of goods, from medicines to gems to weapons. Lanling Wang couldn't help but sigh: "It's worthy of being called the Great City of Thousand Caves!"

Yuxi's attention was attracted by a sword: "How much is this sword?" he asked.

The merchant replied, "2000 gold coins." Yuxi suddenly felt that it was a bit expensive: "Can it be cheaper?" he asked tentatively.

The businessman did not give in, "You can bargain."

Yuxi asked tentatively: "Then... 1000 is okay?"

The businessman was obviously stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Get lost!"

Yu Xi was embarrassed and could only say: "Sorry to bother you..."

Lanling Wang looked at him and asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about? Almost everything here has a fixed price."

Yuxi suddenly realized, "Oh, that's how it is."

Lanling Wang picked up a mask and asked Yuxi: "How about this one? Does it look good?"

Yuxi nodded and praised: "Very handsome!"

Lanling Wang was a little confused, "What does handsome mean?"

Yuxi explained: "It just looks good."

Lanling Wang nodded with satisfaction and paid the money directly. Yuxi looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "No wonder he said he also wants to live...Are things here so expensive?"

Lanling Wang seemed to have heard his thoughts and turned around to explain: "In fact, the meal is not expensive. So many dishes only cost 3 gold coins. It's just that the iron crafts are more expensive because iron smelting is not something that ordinary people can do."

After hearing this, Yuxi decided in her heart: "It seems that I still have to buy the system equipment... At least there are extra bonuses."
