When I woke up, I entered Terraria?!

Chapter 8 Meeting with the Village Chief

The next day, Qi Yu got dressed early, holding the warm invitation letter in his pocket and a basket of eggs that his mother asked him to bring, ready to go to the village chief's house to inquire about the matter.

Watching Qi Yu's gradually receding back, a trace of worry flashed across his mother's eyes. She sighed and murmured to herself, "Xiao Yu is still following your old path, A Zhan..."

Qi Yu was walking on the street, stroking the invitation card with his fingers, thinking in his heart, this fire element apprentice should be a profession in the mage series. Does this mean that I will become a noble wizard?

Qi Yu imagined himself holding a magic staff, wearing a magic robe, and killing everyone. He chuckled, attracting the attention of the villagers passing by.

Qi Yu opened the attribute panel and looked at his SP which was only 50 points. He was silent for a moment. Qi Yu thought silently. If he became a mage, he would definitely have to find a way to increase his mana limit. However, the method of improvement in this world is to get fallen stars to synthesize mana crystals?

Qi Yu looked up at the sky and shook his head. This was unrealistic. After all, this was not a game. How could the stars in the sky fall? I felt that people in this world should have a relatively reasonable way to increase their mana limit, rather than picking up fallen stars all over the street like a joke.

Before he knew it, Qi Yu was standing at the door of the village chief's house. Looking at the exquisite small courtyard surrounded by a fence, Qi Yu pushed the door and walked into the courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but there was an old locust tree planted there. Under the tree lay a big yellow dog with a bald tail. The big yellow dog heard the movement of the door, opened one eye, looked at Qi Yu, then closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

Qi Yu squatted down and touched the dog's head, then shouted into the house: "Grandpa Village Chief! I'm Qi Yu, I'm here to see you."

There was a fluttering sound coming from the chicken coop in the yard, followed by the "cluck, cluck, cluck" sound of a frightened hen, and the village chief's iconic voice: "Hey, Xiaoyu is here, wait a moment, I'll be right out."

The village chief pushed open the door of the chicken coop and came out, pulling out the chicken feathers from his hair.

Qi Yu looked at the village chief in astonishment and opened his mouth: "Uh, village chief grandpa...are you okay?"

The village chief immediately put on a amiable smile and waved his hand at Qi Yu: "It's okay, it's okay." Then he slapped his thigh hard and said, "There is always a fox that comes to steal my chickens every day. Today I caught it red-handed. When I was trying to catch it, it dug a hole in my chicken coop and ran away. Alas."

The village chief looked at Qi Yu who was standing blankly at the door, and waved quickly, "Oh, yes, Xiaoyu, come in and sit down. I'll go wash some fruits for you." As he said that, he pushed open the door and welcomed Qi Yu in.

The village chief's house was very simple, without any fancy decorations, only the most basic furniture. Qi Yu put the basket of eggs on the table, sat on the chair and waited quietly.

After a while, the village chief came in with a basket of apples. The freshly washed apples were covered with water droplets, and the color was attractive. "Ahahahaha, the apples are here~" The village chief put the apples on the table: "Ah, eating more apples is a good thing~"

Qi Yu picked up another basket of eggs and handed it to the village chief: "Grandpa Village Chief, this is a little gift from our family. Thank you for giving me this precious opportunity."

The village chief was about to refuse when he heard this, because he felt that his mother had a hard time, so he didn't intend to accept it. But after hearing the following words, the village chief was stunned: "The opportunity you are talking about is..."

Qi Yu took out the card from his pocket, placed it gently on the table, and looked at the village chief with a smile.

The village chief's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly asked: "Did your mother agree that you could become a professional?!"

Qi Yu nodded.

The village chief immediately held Qi Yu's hand and said, "Okay, good boy, when you become a professional, you will not only be able to protect your mother and sister, but also benefit the village."

After all, the village receives subsidies from the city every year. These subsidies are collected by the village chief and used for daily expenses and repairs of the village. However, the subsidies for each village are issued based on the average combat power of the village, which includes: how many young people, how many elderly people and children, how many professionals... Among them, the subsidies for professionals account for a large proportion.

Therefore, if Qi Yu becomes a professional, there will be two professionals in the village, and both subsidies and safety will be raised to a higher level.

The village chief said to himself: "I thought your mother would not agree to you becoming a professional. After all, your father..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Xiaoyu, I'm going to ask you a question, and you have to answer me seriously." The village chief stared at Qi Yu seriously and asked, "Have you really decided to become a professional? You have to know that once you step into the door of a professional, the dangers you face will be completely different from now."

Qi Yu nodded with a firm look in his eyes: "Grandpa Village Chief, I have made up my mind. I want to become a professional."

The village chief looked at Qi Yu deeply, took out an apple from the apple basket, and handed it to Qi Yu: "Can you tell me why you want to become a professional?"

Qi Yu looked at the apple in his hand. The apple was plump and smelled sweet, but there was a hole on the smooth surface. A green worm was gnawing at the flesh. Qi Yu said slowly, "Grandpa Village Chief, since I survived the blood moon last time, I realized that if I don't have power, I can't protect anything."

Qi Yu stretched out his hand and gently grabbed the bug out, letting it struggle between his fingers. "It's like a bug being manipulated by fate, powerless. I can't change anything and can only go with the flow. This is not what I want."

Qi Yu held the insect in front of his eyes, watched it struggle feebly, and then slowly crushed it to death. "I want to gain power, power to protect the people I cherish, power to truly control my own destiny."

Then, Qi Yu gently placed the apple on the table and looked at the village chief seriously: "So I want to become a professional."

The village chief looked at the apple on the table, nodded silently, and then stretched out his right hand to Qi Yu: "I understand, then Qi Yu, welcome to the world of professionals."

Qi Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and then he tightly grasped the village chief's skinny right hand.

...............

"By the way, village chief, your apples are no longer fresh. I just saw that they are infested with worms."

"Nonsense! That's my companion apple worm, it's highly nutritious and has three times the protein of beef!"
