What kind of girl would travel to another world?

As mentioned in the previous chapter, Wei Qingping and the Sword King had already walked a long way through the abandoned dungeon, with several forks in the path. They then arrived at a very spacious area, so spacious that their torches couldn't fully illuminate the darkness.

At this moment, the Sword King planned to explore the place, while Wei Qingping stayed behind to wait.

After handing the torch to Wei Qingping, the Swordsman King took another torch from her baggage and lit it. Then, he placed his backpack against the wall, considered for a moment, and decided to take his greatsword with him to explore.

Then, the Swordsman King began to explore the spacious area. Based on the secrecy and difficulty in finding the entrance to the dungeon, he carefully examined every wall he passed, fearing that one of them might conceal a secret passage.

This place is indeed much, much more spacious than the previous passage. Based on your reading experience, you'll know that this was likely once a location inhabited by mid- or high-level monsters. But since it's abandoned, there naturally won't be any monsters here.

After walking along the wall for a while, there was a sudden dull thud. The Sword King looked down and realized that a box was blocking his way. He had been so focused on the wall that he hadn't noticed anything under his feet.

The Sword King crouched down and used his torch to illuminate the box for inspection; it turned out to be a very large box.

The Sword King stroked his beard, thinking, "Oh! I haven't played any video games since I transmigrated here. This must be the treasure chest that often appears in the caves of the game..." With that thought, he quickly took the greatsword off his back and began to pry open the lock on the "treasure chest".

As we mentioned before, the Sword King has a little trick for picking locks with his sword.

After prying open the lock, the Sword King curiously searched through the box, hoping to find something useful inside.

Meanwhile, Wei Qingping, being quite far from the Sword King and all alone, immediately tensed up. She kept looking around, terrified that something might suddenly emerge from the darkness and attack her.

Wei Qingping had been attacked once before, so she was more afraid than the average person.

Before long, the Sword King stood up again.

Looking at the faint firelight in the distance, Wei Qingping realized that the Sword King had been squatting in the same spot for a long time. Because of her nosebleed, she was still pinching her nose. She then loudly asked the Sword King, "Hey! Uncle! Are you taking a dump?"

The Sword King loudly replied to Wei Qingping, "Stop talking nonsense! I don't look like I'm taking a dump at all." Then, he turned to Wei Qingping and shouted, "You look more like you're taking a dump!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingping immediately stood up, but a sudden wave of low blood pressure hit her, making her so dizzy she almost lost her balance. Without realizing it, the hand she had been using to pinch her nose went to support her against the wall.

Wei Qingping was puzzled by this sudden turn of events, muttering to herself, "What's wrong with me..."

Upon seeing Wei Qingping's appearance, the Sword King knew it was a case of "low blood pressure." As he walked back, he loudly told Wei Qingping, "Don't stand up so suddenly in the future! You have low blood pressure!" With that, he carried a large pile of things to Wei Qingping's side.

After recovering from the dizziness, Wei Qingping muttered to herself, "Low blood pressure? I've never had this before. Is it because I've grown taller?" Then, she saw the Sword King put a whole bunch of things he had brought back on the ground.

Wei Qingping squatted back down on the ground, staring blankly at the large pile of things on the ground.

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "I found a big box there. I was saying I didn't have any weapons to teach you how to fight and defend, but look what I found." As he spoke, he took out a longsword from the pile of things.

Wei Qingping had absolutely no interest in practicing swordsmanship at that moment. She said to the Sword Master King, "It's pitch black here, I can't practice here..."

The longsword in the swordsman king's hand was extremely ornate, as could be seen from its scabbard, which was inlaid with various colorful gems and shone brightly under the torchlight.

Wei Qingping stared wide-eyed, muttering to herself, "A precious sword? There are such valuable things in a place like this..."

Wei Qingping knew nothing about dungeons and had absolutely no concept of treasures or treasure chests.

The swordsman king counted the jewels on the scabbard and said, "One, two, three... seven. The Seven-Star Sword?"

Wei Qingping asked the Sword King, "Isn't it a precious sword? Why is it a precious saber now?"

The swordsman king told Wei Qingping, "Then let's go with the 'Seven Star Sword'!" Then he asked Wei Qingping, "Haven't you read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Wei Qingping replied to the Sword King, "Of course I know about the Three Kingdoms; it's in history class." Then she asked the Sword King, "What does this precious sword have to do with the Three Kingdoms?"

The Sword King had originally intended to chat with Wei Qingping about the Three Kingdoms, but it turned out that Wei Qingping knew very little about it. He immediately lost interest and said to Wei Qingping, "Sigh, never mind. After all, you're a girl; you probably have no interest in knowing about the Three Kingdoms."

The Sword King looked at the seven gems on the scabbard again and asked Wei Qingping, "Look at these seven gems, don't they look like the Big Dipper in the sky?"

Despite being called the "Big Dipper," the arrangement of the gems on the scabbard doesn't resemble the Big Dipper at all.

Wei Qingping vaguely remembered that the Big Dipper, when connected, forms a dipper shape, so she wanted to confirm whether the Big Dipper in the sky was indeed dipper-shaped and whether it matched the seven gems on the sword sheath. She looked up at the pitch-black sky and said to the Sword King, "There should be stars in the sky, but I can't see the Big Dipper you mentioned here..."

The Sword King was speechless, thinking Wei Qingping didn't even know what the "Big Dipper" was. He said to Wei Qingping with a displeased expression, "Can't you see it here? You can't see it outside either!"

Of course they can't see it. The other world is not their original world, so the celestial phenomena they can see in the sky will naturally not be exactly the same.

In short, these two are often not on the same wavelength when they chat. They would be considered the same age in their original world, so theoretically there shouldn't be a generation gap when they chat.

The Sword King had found many valuable items and intended to show them off to Wei Qingping one by one. Unfortunately, Wei Qingping didn't appreciate their value and wasn't interested in the "Seven Star Sword" the Sword King had found, which dampened the Sword King's enthusiasm for showing it off.

Seeing that he wasn't getting along well with Wei Qingping, the Sword King decided to examine the "Seven Star Sword" himself. He slowly stood up, first feeling the weight of the sword with his hand, then finding its center of gravity, and finally drawing the sword directly from its sheath.

If it's not pulled out, it's fine, but once it's pulled out, it's a disaster!

The moment the sword was drawn, the swordsman king was completely dumbfounded, and the scabbard fell to the ground.

The blade of the "Seven-Star Sword" is covered in rust! It's far from being able to "cut iron like mud"; just ensuring it won't break in two during use is a challenge. This gives you an idea of ​​how severely rusted this sword is.

That makes sense. The dungeon has been abandoned for so many years, and this "Seven Star Sword" has been sitting here for so many years. It should be rusty by now.

When Wei Qingping saw that the Sword King was staring at the "Seven Star Sword" without saying a word, she asked, "What's wrong?" After asking, she also slowly stood up.

Upon closer inspection, Wei Qingping realized what was going on. She frowned, muttering, "Ah? A rusty sword? What if I accidentally touch it? Will I get tetanus?"

The swordsman king's distress was written all over his face. He muttered to himself, "How could it be rusty..."

Wei Qingping said to the Sword King, "Although the scabbard is very beautiful, well... isn't this sword too old? Seven Star Rust Sword, no, Seven Star Old Sword."

The two "nouns" that Wei Qingping uttered at the end seemed to be a finishing blow to the "Seven Star Sword" that the Sword King had mentioned earlier.

The Sword King was very disappointed after hearing this. He said to Wei Qingping, "That makes sense. I wonder how long it's been sitting there; it will definitely rust over time."

Wei Qingping said to the Sword King, "Throw it away! If you accidentally cut yourself, there'll be nowhere to see a doctor."

Upon hearing this, the Sword King refused, saying, "It would be too wasteful to throw it away. Let's take it out and try to save it."

Wei Qingping glanced at the scabbard on the ground and said to the Sword King, "If you're worried about wasting it, just dig out the gems from the scabbard. This sword isn't worth much. Your 'Lake Sword' is much better; it doesn't even rust when it's in water."

At that moment, the Sword King's mind was filled with the "Seven Star Sword" in his hand, and he didn't realize for a moment that Wei Qingping was referring to the giant sword he always carried.

The Sword King asked Wei Qingping with a blank look, "What 'Sword in the Lake'?" After asking, he remembered that he was referring to the giant sword that had been found in "Sword Lake", and said to Wei Qingping, "Oh! That's not made of ordinary iron, so it won't rust."

Wei Qingping thought for a moment, then asked the Sword King, "It's not ordinary... could it be stainless steel?"

The Sword King rolled his eyes and told Wei Qingping, "Where can you find stainless steel? This technology doesn't exist in another world."

Wei Qingping didn't see the Sword King carrying the giant sword, so she asked him, "Where is the 'Sword in the Lake' that you carry on your back?"

The Sword King then realized that the "Sword in the Lake" had been used to pick the lock and was still in the box, not brought back with him.

The Sword King said to Wei Qingping, "You take this sword first, I'll go and get the 'Sword in the Lake' back." With that, he handed the "Seven Star Sword" to Wei Qingping.

Wei Qingping carefully accepted the "Seven Star Sword," afraid of accidentally touching the rusty parts of the sword.

Wei Qingping glanced at the rusty blade, thinking with disdain, "This is it? A 'precious sword' indeed! What's the use of carrying a rusty sword? If you use it for hunting, it'll just get the animal meat dirty. As for using it to hit people... forget it!"

Looking at the back of the Sword King, Wei Qingping squatted down again and planted the tip of the "Seven Star Sword" on the ground.

It's often joked that "rusting" is a kind of "enchantment," causing the continuous damage of "tetanus." In ancient folk brawls, victims were often not killed on the spot, but died from subsequent "tetanus." Even on the battlefield, many generals died from "tetanus," including quite a few during the Three Kingdoms period alone.

"Quickly! Of course, very quickly! When the Sword King was carrying a bunch of things back, he was too busy to find them, so he left the 'Sword in the Lake' and the torch behind. That's why he headed towards the firelight and quickly found the location of the 'treasure chest'."

Just as Wei Qingping was lost in thought, the Sword King returned with the "Sword in the Lake," along with the torch.

As soon as the Sword King returned, he said to Wei Qingping, "Why did you leave your sword on the ground? At least put it back in its sheath." With that, he picked up the sheath from the ground.

When Wei Qingping saw the Sword King picking up his sword sheath, she quickly stood up. Then, she handed the "Seven Star Sword" to the Sword King.

The Swordsman King took the "Seven Star Sword" and stared wide-eyed. After examining it repeatedly, he asked Wei Qingping, "Hmm? You switched it?"
