What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 19 Will I be short of money in another world?

After defeating the Deinonychus, You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi were suddenly caught in rain on their way back, forcing them to spend the night in their carriage. The next morning, the rain had long since stopped, and the rising sun once again illuminated the world. Outside the carriage, a fresh, cleansed world unfolded.

Waking up early in the morning, Yang Mingyi said, "If I weren't so hungry, I could have gone mantis hunting on the way." They always carried bags on their carriages, and the little food they had stored had been eaten the previous night. In the past, she had only two options in the morning: grab breakfast or go back to sleep. But now, she didn't have that option. She had to drive the carriage back to the city.

You Jiahui said, "I can't fight even if I'm not hungry. The back of the shield is a little cracked, and I'm afraid it can't withstand the next battle. I need to take it for repairs first."

Yang Mingyi sighed and said, "There's no need to drag the mantis back after killing it, but it's a pity that we can't kill it." She thought that even if she killed the saw-toothed mantis, the mantis meat could not be eaten, so she didn't plan to take the mantis corpse back.

You Jiahui's opinion differed from Yang Mingyi's. She said, "Even if you kill the mantis, you should drag the body back. There might be a lot of materials on it that can be sold."

Yang Mingyi compromised and said calmly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Next time I kill the mantis, I'll take it back." After that, she got out of the carriage and sat in the driver's seat.

The carriage set off again, accompanied by the morning sunshine after the rain. The sound of the three horses' hooves stepping on the muddy road sounded like a different song to You Jiahui.

After the carriage entered the city, You Jiahui said, "Let's go to the protective gear store in the shopping street first. I'll send the shield for repair." She was afraid that Yang Mingyi would drive the carriage too far, so she emphasized the need to go to the protective gear store first.

Yang Mingyi said in a voice so low that it was inaudible: "Okay..." At this time, she was really hungry and her voice was weak.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the protective gear store. You Jiahui entered the store with her shield, and Yang Mingyi hid in the carriage again to catch up on her sleep.

You Jiahui came to the counter with her shield and greeted the shop owner, "Good morning, boss."

The shop owner had just walked out from behind the door of the shop. He was surprised to see a customer so early in the morning and greeted him, saying, "Good morning. Why are you here so early today?"

You Jiahui placed the shield on the counter and said, "Yes. Yesterday's monster was too strong. Look, the back of the shield is a little cracked."

The shop owner took it up and examined it. Indeed, there was a crack in the back of the wood. He said, "It's not difficult to repair. It just needs to be removed and replaced with a new piece of wood, but that will take a few days." He then said, "Miss, you're subject to a lot of head-on collisions in combat. Why not install a ram? While it'll be heavier, it won't crack as easily."

You Jiahui crossed her arms, touched her chin with her fingers, thought for a while, and said, "We did have a lot of head-on collisions when we fought monsters yesterday." After all, the attacks of the Deinonychus basically used its supernatural power to the extreme.

The shop owner asked, "Are you fighting monsters? Did you harvest any materials that can be used to make horns?"

You Jiahui frowned, "tsk," and said, "I don't understand either. Why don't you come out and take a look. The monster's body is right outside the door."

You Jiahui brought the owner of the protective gear store outside the store.

The shop owner looked carefully at the Deinonychus's thick and huge beak and thick claws covered with hard keratin. His eyes almost fell to the ground, and he asked in disbelief: "Are you sure that the shield was attacked by this giant bird? Girl, it's a miracle that the shield didn't break!" Then he thought to himself, "After all, they are adventurers. We go together as a team, so no one person has to bear all the attacks." He was completely wrong. It was You Jiahui who bore all the attacks of the Deinonychus alone, and he thought she had joined a powerful adventure team.

The shop owner thought for a moment and said, "This beak can be used to make a horn, but it needs to be cut off. Only the front part needs to be removed."

You Jiahui readily agreed and said, "Sure! Let's do it. How much deposit do I need?"

The shop owner waved his hand and said, "Girl, you don't need to pay a deposit this time. You can pay after I finish the modification. But it will take a few more days, maybe a week." After that, he looked at the corpse of the Deinonychus again, shook his head and sighed, "Girl, you guys are really amazing." He was talking about the non-existent "adventure team" in his imagination that killed the Deinonychus, but You Jiahui thought he was talking about herself and Yang Mingyi.

The shop owner then brought tools and removed the portion of the bird's beak that would be used to make the horn. By this time, Yang Mingyi had already been awakened by the sound of the beak being removed.

Yang Mingyi got off the carriage and yawned as she asked You Jiahui, "Is it repaired? Why did you sell him the beak?"

You Jiahui replied: "How can it be fixed so quickly? They used the bird's beak to modify the shield."

Yang Mingyi said sleepily, "Oh. That would be very heavy, wouldn't it? Aren't you afraid of weights?"

You Jiahui sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. I can't let my shield get shattered again when I fight the monster."

Yang Mingyi suddenly remembered what happened before and said, "Oh, that's right. It was broken last time when I was hunting a wild boar. So the quality of your custom shield is better than the one in the palace."

After You Jiahui got on the carriage, she said, "Let's go. Let's go to the guild to hand in the quest." She really wanted to go back to the palace directly after handing in the quest.

Yang Mingyi, still feeling slightly sleepy, got back in the carriage and the two of them headed towards the guild.

Dragging the carcass of the Devil's Claw to the square outside the guild, Yang Mingyi rubbed her eyes fiercely, jumped off the carriage, and ran into the guild. Not long after, she ran out again and said to You Jiahui, who had just gotten off the carriage, "What should we do? There are not many people in the guild! No one will help us cut up the meat of this giant bird and roast it!"

You Jiahui said calmly, "They should have all gone to the Huxia Forest. The president mentioned before that there's a lot going on there."

Yang Mingyi asked hurriedly: "What should we do now?"

Without saying anything, You Jiahui directly cut off the head of the Deinonychus and took it into the guild. After coming out, she said to Yang Mingyi, "The mission is completed, let's go!"

Yang Mingyi asked, "Where are you going? The meat of this giant bird hasn't been cut and roasted yet." She was just thinking about eating it, and she wanted to eat a big meal.

You Jiahui glanced at him sideways and said unhappily, "Go to the Merchants Guild!" After that, she got on the carriage first.

Yang Mingyi had a hundred question marks on her head and asked, "Where is this Merchant Guild?"

You Jiahui said in the carriage, "I asked your Jialisi, it's just outside the shopping street."

Yang Mingyi thought about it and said, "That's right, the Merchants Guild should be quite big. There should be a lot of people there to help us barbecue."

Yang Mingyi quickly got in the car and the two of them headed towards the Merchants Guild again.

The carriage had arrived outside the Merchants Guild. As You Jiahui got out, she said to Yang Mingyi, "Wait for me in the carriage."

Yang Mingyi waited anxiously, her stomach growling with hunger. She didn't follow in because, besides You Jiahui telling her to wait outside, she was also worried the giant bird meat on the trailer would be stolen if left unattended. Then, You Jiahui emerged from the Merchants' Guild with a man decked out in jewels.

The man's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing the carcass of the Deinonychus. He then examined it again and again, examining it for a long time before saying, "Not bad, not bad! Very good, very good! These feathers are incredibly beautiful. They'll definitely fetch a lot of money if they're properly cared for. These huge claws are also fantastic. I can imagine how many people would rush to buy them. If we held an auction, we'd make a ton of money! But this head... where did it go?" He continued searching the Deinonychus's body for the long-lost head.

You Jiahui said politely, "As you can see, there is indeed no head. I have already sold the giant bird's head to the Adventurer's Guild."

The man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! So you're from the Adventurer's Guild, young lady. Okay, okay, I'll personally discuss this bird head matter with your guild leader. I know him very well! Oh, we're old acquaintances now. Young lady, we'll be old acquaintances from now on." Then, the man placed his hand on his clothes and made a number, laughing, "I'll give you this number. Hahahaha."

You Jiahui immediately understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Deal! Send someone to take it away!"

After saying this, several people immediately carried the body of the Deinonychus away. Later, the man handed a heavy bag of currency to You Jiahui, who politely said goodbye. After the man entered the Merchants Guild, she boarded the carriage.

After those people left, Yang Mingyi asked, "Who is that person? Are we waiting outside for them to roast the bird meat inside?" After she said that, her saliva began to flow out.

You Jiahui sighed and said calmly, "The man I was talking to was the president of the Merchants Guild. I sold him the entire giant bird, and I really made a lot of money this time."

Yang Mingyi said in surprise: "What! It's okay to sell him the other things, but what about the bird meat?" What she cared about most was food.

You Jiahui said, "Forget about the meat of that giant bird. With so much money, there's nothing you can't eat. I never thought I could make so much money selling a monster. If I had known, I would have sold the whole wild boar."

Yang Mingyi said, "If the wild boar is sold, then you won't have this pink protective gear anymore."

You Jiahui said seriously, "I'm telling you this seriously. From now on, all monsters I kill will be sold whole. You are not allowed to eat monsters anymore."

Yang Mingyi asked unhappily, "Are you short of money?"

You Jiahui asked in return, "We can't always live in someone else's palace, right?"

Yang Mingyi asked doubtfully, "You want to save money to buy a house?"

You Jiahui said, "It's not just about the house. Let's go! Let's go back to the palace first."

Yang Mingyi didn't understand what You Jiahui wanted to buy, but she also knew that if she asked You Jiahui again at this time, she would not get an answer.

After returning to the palace, You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi immediately filled their stomachs and were about to return to their respective residences.

Yang Mingyi said, "Don't call me again today. I'm going back to my room to sleep all day. I'm so sleepy, I feel like I have no strength left in my body."

You Jiahui said, "Just go to sleep peacefully. We won't be going anywhere else today." After that, they said goodbye to each other.

They ate in the kitchen on the first floor below the main hall. The main hall and the reception hall were on the second floor, and the king lived on the third floor. The reception hall was not normally used except when the king entertained guests. The king and his heirs usually dined alone in their own quarters. Everyone else would eat directly in the kitchen, depending on their schedule. Because palace staff rotated, food was available in the kitchen throughout the day. The chefs therefore worked in shifts to ensure a sufficient supply of food.

That afternoon, when Yang Mingyi was still sleeping soundly in the room, You Jiahui was standing in the guards' training ground with her dagger in her hand.

She stood in the training grounds, reflecting on the previous battle with the Deinonychus. When she first came under attack, she had quickly reversed her dagger to support her shield. As she thought about this, her hands naturally began to experiment with rapidly switching between a forward and reverse grip. She didn't understand why, simply following her instincts. Then she recalled swinging her dagger in the air to provoke the Deinonychus, and her wrist naturally followed suit, until she finally stretched her arm completely straight, forming a sword flower...

Next, she began to experiment with how to strike more effectively with a pronated grip and how to strike more suddenly with a reverse grip. She then began to practice various attack methods she had imagined, and then, on the constantly shaking target, she practiced the accuracy of her attacks.

Just like that, without anyone teaching her how to use a dagger, she had already begun to rely on her intuition to understand how to use the dagger to fight better.

The next afternoon, with nothing better to do in the palace, You Jiahui wandered to the back of the main hall, intending to secretly see the blue flamingos on her own. She headed to the side and indeed saw a path leading straight into the distance. She immediately wandered into the passage, but hedges on either side obscured her view, leaving her with little scenery to see.

Finally, she passed through the passage and around the prince's residence, and arrived at the garden that Yang Mingyi had mentioned. As soon as she arrived, someone waved at her and said, "Jiahui! Here!" The person who greeted her was Yang Mingyi.

You Jiahui's eyes widened and she thought to herself, "So you are here too." Then she saw a girl in gorgeous clothes standing next to Yang Mingyi.

When You Jiahui walked over, the girl said excitedly: "You must be the brave sister! Wow, so beautiful! You must be a princess in another world. We are the same! We are all princesses!" It turned out that this girl was the princess of this kingdom. She had heard Yang Mingyi talk a lot about what happened after they were summoned here.

Although You Jiahui didn't know how to respond, she still said politely, "Hello, Princess!"

Yang Mingyi thought to herself, "Although I know she's the only daughter of a wealthy family, I've never heard her family is aristocratic." Suddenly, she thought of something else and said, "Princess! She's our school belle!"

You Jiahui thought to herself, "You're joking. I've never heard of anyone being the school belle in our school." But she remained silent. After all, there were outsiders around, and she couldn't directly complain about Yang Mingyi.

The princess' face was full of question marks. She asked, "What is a school beauty?"

Yang Mingyi froze. She didn't know how to explain this, because there were no schools in this alternate world. Then she launched into a heartless rant: "Princess! She's the prettiest girl in our guild, so she's called 'School Belle'!" Her words were completely off the cuff, and she had no real meaning.

You Jiahui was dumbfounded and just watched how Yang Mingyi would justify her words.

The princess said, "Sister Brave is the school belle of the guild, so I want to be the school belle of the palace too!" Following Yang Mingyi's random explanation, she also completely misunderstood the meaning.

You Jiahui said politely, "Princess, you are right."

Yang Mingyi asked: "Princess, what is the secret you just mentioned?"

The princess whispered, "The secret is, my father and my brother Youkas had a quarrel."

Hearing that it was related to Youkas, You Jiahui also listened carefully.

Yang Mingyi asked curiously, "What's the quarrel about?"

The princess whispered, "Because before, it was Qi Xinyang who was summoned with you. Father called her the Ranger Girl. She brought five things with her, saying they were from the dungeon. I don't know what they were for, but they looked quite strange anyway."

Yang Mingyi asked: "Are you arguing over this?" She thought it shouldn't be that serious, just a quarrel over a few things.

The princess whispered, "Father said those things posed unknown dangers and that Brother Youkas was not allowed to touch them or do any research on them. Then Brother Youkas and Father started arguing."

After hearing this, You Jiahui thought to herself, "Oh, so that's how the quarrel started. It seems that these things taken out from the dungeon are not simple."

Yang Mingyi asked, "What happened next?"

The princess looked worried and said, "Brother Youkas has been away from the palace for a long time. I heard he has been in the Xiusia Forest."

You Jiahui thought to herself, "Isn't he going to the underground city there to do research? I hope he's just doing it for the settlement."

Yang Mingyi asked, "Does the prince have any special skills? I heard there are low-level monsters there."

The princess began to worry and said, "I haven't heard of it."

You Jiahui interjected, "Don't worry, there are a lot of guild adventurers there recently."

Yang Mingyi also said comfortingly: "Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, Princess. The adventurers in the guild are all very powerful. Dealing with those low-level monsters is a piece of cake!" After that, she and the princess laughed together.

Later, the three of them began to talk about the animals in the garden.
