I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

After talking with the village chief, Reed decided to go to bed early.

Red could sense that the village chief's family was deliberately avoiding him, but he pretended not to notice.

The village chief's expression clearly darkened upon hearing about the goblins appearing in the Greenwood Forest.

Red saw the village chief sitting in a chair, holding some papers in his hand, reading by the light of a desk lamp.

The village chief had mentioned in a previous conversation that the five goblins he encountered were likely strays.

If they're just wandering, it's easy to solve, but if they belong to a tribe, then it's more complicated.

Reed thought the five goblins were wanderers, since he had been wandering around the Greenwood Forest for an hour before encountering them.

If it were a large tribe, I would have encountered hundreds by now.

After thinking about all this, Reed, lying in bed, gradually felt sleepy.

Red pulled the heart of longing from his suit trouser pocket.

I flipped the Heart of Desire over and looked at it.

And the desire seemed to have its own consciousness; the crimson flesh of his heart was slowly melting into Reed's palm.

Red hurriedly used his other hand to grasp the heart of longing.

Red was surprised to find that this longing had become even more active.

Or perhaps it was only after entering this world that I became more active; before, I was collecting Hearts of Desire at the company.

This heart won't just stick to you once it's in your hand.

As a level 5 employee, Reed still knew some of the company's internal information.

The Abnormality is actually weakened within the company; it doesn't truly represent its own power within the company.

If it weren't for the company's weakening measures, any W-rank Abnormality would be an A-rank.

The same goes for the Heart of Desire; because the company didn't weaken it, the Heart of Desire regained its original strength.

Reid is now a little worried about whether this yearning heart will remain as harmless as it was in the company before.

Reid was afraid that this yearning heart might suddenly attack him, or that it might have some side effects.

Reed then put the Heart of Desire back in; he'd try that again later.

Red removed the galaxy necklace from his neck because it twinkled in the dark.

It's like a small nightlight, but it blinks on and off, keeping me awake.

Reed rolled over and lay on his side, falling asleep...

【the next day】

"My lord, my lord, wake up!"

Reed smacked his lips, rubbed his eyes, and then saw a girl standing beside the bed.

Reed sat up, somewhat dazed, his mind racing as if loading data.

The girl looked at him and added, "Sir, you said you wanted to go into town, the carriage is ready."

Reed paused for a few seconds before remembering that he was supposed to go to the town.

Reed instinctively reached for the alarm clock by the bedside, then realized he was no longer at the office.

The girl, seeing the other person's inexplicable behavior, dared not say anything more.

After all, his father had just warned him not to say anything more to that nobleman inside.

Reed stretched his arms and then got out of bed.

He waved his hand over his chest, and the Milky Way Necklace reappeared.

(Yawning) "Thanks, I got it, lead the way."

The girl's eyes widened; she was still reeling from what Reed had just done.

When I got home yesterday, I saw the glowing necklace around Reed's neck. Because of that necklace and his suit, I was certain that he was an aristocrat!

But when I came to wake him up this morning, his necklace was gone again.

I thought the nobleman had hidden himself away, but then I saw him casually wave his hand and the necklace reappeared.

Could the other person be a mage?! Mages are a rather rare profession in this world.

Learning magic is difficult, expensive, requires talent, and even some luck.

This world is now mostly populated by wealthy nobles, and very few of their children are magicians.

If this nobleman is a magician, then it means he's very strong.

Unable to contain her curiosity, the girl asked, "Are you a magician?"

Reed looked at the girl with sleepy eyes, and then...

"Huh? Oh (′-w-`)"

"Take me to your caravan, let's get to town as soon as possible."

The girl blinked, a little disappointed.

Why did the other person just say "ah" or "oh"? Why not just answer "yes" or "no" directly?!

The girl's lips were slightly puffed out in anger, but she still took Reed to the caravan.

Reed arrived at the caravan's preparation area, where there were many wooden wagons carrying goods, as well as some horses and oxen.

The strong men were carrying the goods to be sold, while the village merchants were carefully tying them up.

To Reed's surprise, the farmer from yesterday was also there.

That was the first person I met in this world, a kind-hearted farmer who was chatting and laughing as he carried fruits and vegetables.

After the farmer finished carrying the last basket, he hugged his wife and patted the little girl's head.

After everyone was ready, the village chief came over.

He said a few words about being careful, and then left.

The other members of the caravan also knew that the nobleman Reed was going to accompany them to town.

Some people disliked the noble status of the Rhett family, since few nobles were good people.

The villagers weren't talking nonsense; there might not even be one good noble among ten.

And that's the truth: the nobleman would rather feed the beef he discarded to his pet dog than to the servant who had served him for five years.

Therefore, the villagers of the caravan stayed far away from Rhett, and dared only harbor resentment towards the nobles in their hearts.

If they found out, he'd definitely be beheaded. Everyone just kept their distance from Red and didn't say a word.

Reed said he didn't care and just followed the caravan.

And so, the caravan and Reid set off towards the town to the north.

The road was still a dirt road, but there were no dense trees around.

Red looked up at the birds and the sunshine in the sky; it was really nice.

Several burly villagers were on guard inside the caravan, armed with homemade spears and woodcutting knives.

The caravan leader said it would take about two hours to reach the town.

Actually, it was still barely light out, around 5 a.m.

They set off around 5 a.m., so the villagers in these caravans must have gotten up at 4 a.m. to prepare.

Reed inwardly praised the villagers; they hadn't even eaten before coming to unload the goods.

For women with wives at home, they can prepare the food in advance and give it to their husbands.

Those without wives could only borrow food from others or take things to sell to fill their stomachs.

On the way, I'll just grab some bread or biscuits and eat them with pickled vegetables.

Reed wasn't planning to eat there; he intended to go to the town to see what kind of food was available.

But Reid suddenly realized that he didn't even understand the currency of this world, or had ever seen it.

If you asked the village chief about this, he would definitely be suspicious.

Thinking of currency, Reed suddenly remembered the seashell he picked up from the bones yesterday.

He took the seashells out of his pocket and examined them carefully.

The seashells were found to be the same color, and even the symbols were the same.

The only difference is some scratches; they are the same size, the same color, and even the engraved symbols are the same.

After counting the seashells, there were 16 in total. Reed felt that these seashells were the currency of this world.

It's because all these seashells look the same, and I just saw the villagers in these caravans counting some seashells in their hands.

Then they saw a villager putting some seashells into a small cloth bag at his waist.

Red thought he was really smart! Since it was currency, he had to hide it well!

He needed to put the seashells back into his pocket, and then started playing with the necklace around his neck.
