What kind of girl would travel to another world?

As mentioned in the previous chapter, today marks the fourth day that You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi have spent in the wilderness. For the past two days, they've accompanied the adventuring team into the underground city of the Corpse Curtain Caverns to clear monsters. Not only did they help the team complete their mission objectives, they also found a "treasure chest" and brought it out of the dungeon together.

Later, after some discussion, they decided to disguise the "treasure chest" they brought out of the dungeon as a table and hide it in You Jiahui's territory, where there happened to be a construction site.

At this time, Torsi and Ulybian had already driven the carriage back to the royal capital. After purchasing the "camouflage" tools in the city, they returned to the wild cave at Juexin Waterfall to meet up with the other three people.

Yang Mingyi muttered, "It's a good thing we came here in a carriage, otherwise it would be quite troublesome to get things done." Then she stole a glance at You Jiahui. Her true thought was that she didn't want to ride horses anymore.

You Jiahui noticed Yang Mingyi stealing glances at her, but ignored her. She was well aware of Yang Mingyi's inner thoughts. She turned to Di Wuan and asked, "Captain, which noble contacted you? Can you tell us?" She asked in a calm and natural tone.

Di Wuan replied to You Jiahui, "Knight... Brave Lord, I really don't know which nobleman you are. Torsi may know better." He was still not used to calling you "brave man", and calling You Jiahui "knight" was already very comfortable.

After listening to this, You Jiahui nodded, and then told Di Wuan, "You don't have to call me a hero anymore. I am a hero, but I can't do what a hero should do." After saying that, she took a deep breath.

Yang Mingyi asked You Jiahui, "Is your injury still not healed?"

You Jiahui shook her head and didn't want to talk.

Seeing that You Jiahui didn't talk to her, Yang Mingyi felt very bored at the thought of having to wait like this for a long time. Then, she took a branch and drew a nine-square grid on the ground.

After watching this, You Jiahui was speechless. She thought to herself, "How old are you, and you're still playing elementary school games..."

You Jiahui thought Yang Mingyi was very boring, but Di Wuan was very curious.

Di Wuan asked Yang Mingyi, "Master, what are you drawing? Is it a magic circle for summoning?"

Yang Mingyi replied to Di Wuan, "Oh, no, no. It's the Nine-square grid."

Di Wuan asked Yang Mingyi, "What is the Nine-Palace Grid?"

Afterwards, after teaching Di Wuan how to play, Yang Mingyi started playing with him. Only then did Yang Mingyi feel less bored. Meanwhile, You Jiahui was also thinking about other things. She leaned against the edge of the cave entrance, staring blankly at the outside.

When Thorsi and Eurybian returned to the cave, it was already afternoon and the day was almost over. As soon as they entered the cave, they immediately moved the camouflage materials and tools to the side of the "treasure chest".

Yang Mingyi asked the two people who had just returned, "What is the furniture on this small trailer used for?" As she spoke, she pointed to a wardrobe on the small trailer behind the carriage.

Torsi told Yang Mingyi, "As for disguise, a table alone would be a bit too conspicuous, so we prepared a small wardrobe."

After hearing this, Yang Mingyi blurted out, "Great!"

You Jiahui also said to the others, "Yes. When we explain things to the supervisors, it will seem much more natural. It seems we don't have to wait until night to hide secretly. We can be more open and more open."

Diwuan said to the others, "Then don't wait any longer, let's get started." Then he turned to Ulybian and said, "Ulybian, tell me what you want us to do."

Eurypian said to the others, "I've figured it out along the way. Since we're going to disguise such a large box as a table, it's best to make it more refined and noble. This way, people on the construction site won't dare touch it, for fear of having to pay compensation if it breaks. It will also allow the supervisors to watch over it carefully to prevent the table from being stolen. And then next..." Then, he began to tell the others what to do specifically.

The others followed Eurypian's instructions and helped him disguise the entire "treasure chest".

By the time they disguised the "treasure chest" as a table, the sun was about to set.

After Eurypian carved the last stripe on the "table", he said to others: "That's it! It's done!" He said with a happy smile.

Everyone was very happy at the moment. Yang Mingyi jumped up with joy when she heard it.

Afterwards, the adventure team placed the "table" on the small trailer, stacked the small wardrobe on the "table", and then tied them together.

After Torsi and Ulybian covered the entire "furniture" of the small trailer with cloth, Di Wuan said to You Jiahui: "That's almost it, Sir Knight." After saying that, he also wiped the sweat from his forehead.

You Jiahui said to the others, "Well! Let's go!" After that, she took her things and got directly into the carriage.

After Diwuan and Uribian packed up all their things, they also got on the carriage.

Yang Mingyi was about to sit in the driver's seat, but Torsi immediately stopped her and said to her, "Let me drive the carriage. Master, you sit in the carriage." After that, he took the driver's seat first.

Yang Mingyi did not refuse and immediately got into the carriage.

After a while, the carriage finally started moving and they set off.

As expected, just as Di Wuan had said before, the carriage was moving very slowly at this time and could not run fast at all.

Torsi turned around and said to the others in the carriage, "This is indeed a good horse from the palace. If it hadn't been well-maintained, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to pull this horse."

Yang Mingyi asked Torsi, "The horses in the palace stables are indeed very tall. Are they expensive to raise?"

Torsi told Yang Mingyi, "The fodder we use must be very expensive. It's best not to let them graze on wild grass. If these horses get sick, it will be a big loss."

Yang Mingyi and Torsi started chatting like this, and at this moment, Ulybian yawned slightly.

The busiest person of the day was Eurypian. Not only did he go to the Merchants' Guild to sell materials, but he also went to the shopping district to haggle with people. It was a very difficult day for him. By the time Torsi came to the shopping district to find him, he was already exhausted. In the end, it was Torsi who finally did the bargaining and successfully concluded this "purchase."

Di Wuan asked You Jiahui, "Sir Knight, if we take these 'furniture' to the construction site, is there really a place to store them?"

You Jiahui replied to Di Wuan, "Before, I went to the construction site every day to check on the progress, and it was going pretty fast. I haven't been there these past few days, so maybe they're already building the second floor. It's all thanks to the Merchant Guild, they were able to mobilize enough supplies and recruit so many construction workers all at once. It's incredible. I'm afraid the Merchant Guild is capable of more than just this kind of thing."

After hearing what You Jiahui said, Torsi immediately interrupted and said, "Our country's Merchant Guild is probably the most powerful in the entire continent."

Eurypian said to Torsi, "That's because the country is so large. Naturally, we have more resources available than other countries. I heard that any of us half-elves who leave our tribe will choose this country as their first choice for settlement."

Yang Mingyi asked Torsi, "If we want to build other villages in the territory later, do we also need to contact the Merchant Guild?"

Torsi said to Yang Mingyi, "No need. As long as the Lord Knight grants permission, people will naturally come to build villages and settle there. After that, the Lord Knight only needs to collect appropriate taxes from them. As long as the taxes collected in the Lord Knight's territory are not more than those collected in other noble territories, many people will naturally gather here quickly."

Yang Mingyi leaned close to You Jiahui's ear and said, "You're the landlord! I want to play Landlord!"

You Jiahui turned around, smiled and whispered to Yang Mingyi: "Shut up! We are not in the same world, I don't understand you. Forget about the 'Nine-square grid' thing, don't invent any 'poker' for me. Do you understand?" The last three words she said were threatening.

Yang Mingyi suddenly realized that she had unknowingly "invented" the Nine-Palace Grid in this other world, and immediately felt that the situation was not good. She quietly asked You Jiahui, "Will the appearance of this 'Nine-Palace Grid' have any impact on this other world?"

You Jiahui answered Yang Mingyi softly, "How should I know." At this time, she was already trying to hold back her laughter.

They chatted in the carriage and didn't feel bored along the way.

Suddenly, the carriage seemed to hit a small stone and swayed. With this sway, You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi bumped shoulders on the seat.

Yang Mingyi was hurt by the collision, so she touched You Jiahui's arm, and then asked You Jiahui, "Is this what they call lean? Your arms feel so hard." After that, she pinched her own fat arm for comparison.

You Jiahui tutted and said to Yang Mingyi, "I already practice horseback riding and archery. You should practice horseback riding more often, so you don't have to stumble around all the time." She was referring to her original world. Since arriving in this other world, her daily training had increased.

Yang Mingyi was a little angry and said to You Jiahui, "I didn't stumble when I walked. You're talking nonsense!" After that, she turned her head away and didn't want to look at You Jiahui anymore.

The two of them were just bickering among girls, so the three members of the adventure team didn't want to interrupt at this time.

You Jiahui ignored the angry Yang Mingyi and asked Di Wuan, "Captain, higher skill levels can do more damage to monsters, so wouldn't practicing strength be more helpful?"

Di Wuan replied to You Jiahui, "I've heard senior adventurers discuss this. Skill levels originally only provided additional damage to monsters. Later, with the emergence of demons and monsters, it was discovered that skills were the basis for inflicting damage to them. Those without skill levels could still inflict some damage to monsters, but absolutely no damage to monsters. After discussing this, the seniors unanimously agreed that demons and monsters have a certain immunity to physical damage."

After hearing this, You Jiahui sneered and asked Di Wuan, "The Demon Realm and the Demon Clan? Interesting. The Demon Clan is all in the Demon Realm, right?"

Di Wuan told You Jiahui, "The demons once invaded the entire continent, slaughtering all living things, but later returned. For specific information on this, I might have to ask my senior. He went to the demon world with the hero, and it might be related to the demon invasion at that time."

After hearing this, You Jiahui muttered, "Oh, so that's how it is." Then she fell into deep thought. After a while, she suddenly asked Di Wuan, "So, skill levels are ineffective for humans, right?"

Di Wuan replied to You Jiahui, "Yes, it's almost ineffective. Fighting between humans still depends on combat skills and combat experience. Strength and agility are also important."

You Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief and said to Di Wuan, "Okay. I understand. Thank you."

After hearing this, Yang Mingyi curiously asked Di Wuan, "What about magic?"

Di Wuan replied to Yang Mingyi, "Magic definitely has a damaging effect on humans, but no matter how high the magic level is, the damage caused by the same spell remains essentially the same. However, the higher the magic level, the more pronounced the damage to monsters. This is something our predecessors have discussed, and they all agree that monsters have a low resistance to magic damage. Therefore, every country on the continent is very concerned about recruiting court mages. If the demons invade again, the number of mages will be crucial."

Eurypian said to Diwuan, "Speaking of resistance to spells, we humans are born with a certain 'elemental affinity', which makes us more resistant to certain types of spells."

You Jiahui suddenly thought of a question and asked Di Wuan, "If some kind of magic increases strength and agility, it can also be effective in battles between humans, right?"

After thinking about it, Di Wuan said to You Jiahui, "Yes, that's indeed the way to go."

Eurybian said to Diwuan, "Yes, some of us half-elves fight this way, using wind magic to increase our agility."

After hearing this, You Jiahui thought to herself, "Hmph! A traitor's little trick. It's nothing more than increasing agility. Then I'll practice more strength to counter it." At this time, she finally understood those things about fighting, and also had a general understanding of how Qi Xinyang, who could use wind magic, fought.

When they were about to arrive at the construction site in their carriage, it was already dark.

So, will their attempt to hide the "treasure chest" be discovered? Will it really go as smoothly as they imagined?
