YM778.TV Chapter 24 - Chi Part 1
Yuki reached up and grabbed the small cat from her head and held it in her arms. "Let\'s do some leveling today, Nergal."
"Meow!" Nergal snuggled into Yuki\'s embrace.
Although Yuki did not do the research she had wanted to do to find quests. Right now, she only wanted to get lost in the game at this time. A sort of escape from reality. "But first, let\'s check the marketplace."
Yuki was already right outside the marketplace. She had logged off right outside. She went to the terminal, and after bringing up the window, her eyes almost dropped out of her head. All of her potions were sold. And the amount of gold she had now was 11,455. This did not include the gold she also sold at 6 crowns per silver. She made 276,360 crowns during the day. But what she couldn\'t believe was people were actually paying her outrageous buyout prices! It was not like her items were worth that price. "Spendthrifts..."
Although it was making her money, Yuki\'s heart still ached seeing people waste so much money on an in game item that was consumable like that. "I will set 10,000 gold on the marketplace and keep 1,455 for myself. "
With everything set, Yuki made her way out of town with Nergal perched on top of her head. But before she exited the town she saw a male NPC in butcher clothes standing there scratching his head. "Ahh, geez, what am I going to do?"
"Everything okay?" Yuki walked up to the man and asked.
Hearing someone suddenly call out to him, the man jumped and turned around. "Oh, Lad? Haha! You scared the daylights outta me. I think I just lost a few years of my life."
"Hehe, sorry about that. \'\' Yuki bowed her head in apology. "You seem to be troubled, is there anything wrong?"
"Ahh, well… Maybe you could help..."
*Ding!*
[Chain Quest: Village Life Is Not Easy]
[Help Ben The Butcher get the supplies he needs to finish his order.]
[Part completion: Collect 20 Drogger meat]
[Reward: 5 Silver, 1000 Experience Points]
Yuki gladly accepted the quest. This was exactly what she was looking for. She liked doing quests in games more than grinding since it would give her a goal to work towards besides leveling up even if the quest was a grind quest. "You sure are a big help, Lad. I have an order due by the end of the month, but the Drogger meat supplier has not been able to make it past the Great Fordon Plains. You can Find Droggers just north of the Great Fordon Plains at the edge of the Forgotten Gorge. You can reach the Great Fordon Plains by heading north of the village."
"Alright, I will head there and get what you need." Yuki said goodbye to the man and made her way out of town.
She was a little excited to see more of this world. It was not like she could explore unexplored places in real life. She hoped Mary was watching over her so she could see the places she was venturing into as well. After exiting the town, Yuki headed straight north. She made sure to kill all the monsters she could along the way. This time though, she was being picky about what she picked up. If it wasn\'t a material for crafting, she would not put it in her inventory.
Level: 2 → 4/20
As Yuki was passing through a forest, She heard the sounds of a female yelling. "What are you doing!? Do you think you can get away with this!?"
Yuki frowned upon hearing this. Her mind instantly went to when Mary was yelling at Greg. Yuki went to step forward but paused for a split second before shaking her head and running towards the sound of yelling.
"Haha! I agreed to help you power level, but I never said it was free. You are out here with no one else around, and you have yet to level once. You will die easily and will respawn in the closest town, meaning you will be stuck in this area since the closest town is Everwood. How will you even be able to progress? All the monsters here are level 5 to ten. It is easy to avoid all the hassle. All you have to do is have a bit of fun with me. It\'s not so hard, right? It\'s not like it\'s your real body, but I did hear it does stimulate the mind. Hahaha!" The man\'s words made Yuki grind her teeth as her eyes became as cold as ice.
"You bastard!" The girl who had two fox ears on her head and a fox tail coming off her backside, all of which was pure black, glared at the man with her wooden sword in her hand. Her whole body was trembling with anger and fear.
What entered Yuki\'s eyes as she arrived was the scene of a man pinning an unwilling girl to the ground, causing her eyes to immediately turn red. Killing intent poured out of her body as she roared: "What the fuck are you doing!?" The man had already mounted the fox girl and was pinning her down, trying to restrain her. The fox girl\'s wooden sword was tossed to the side. When he heard Yuki\'s yell, he was startled and turned only to see the cold glint of a blade stab him right in the chest. Yuki didn\'t stop there as she pulled her sword out and spun around, stabbing him right in the back. She then raised her foot and roundhouse kicked him to the ground before mounting him and began punching him, slowly whittling down the rest of his Health after already taking half of it.
"Fucking bastards like you do not belong in this world!" Yuki was cursing left and right as she punched the man. When he only had 30 Health left, Yuki raised her sword and stabbed the man between the eyes. From start to finish, the man could not even get a word in edgewise. He was completely beaten without even a chance to defend himself. Yuki then opened the bag that was next to his body with his inventory items and took out all the items before walking over to the fox girl.
The fox girl sat on the ground staring at Yuki with tears in her eyes. She was in utter disbelief as to what had just happened to her. She did not come out of her daze until Yuki had spoken. "Are you okay?"
"Huh? Yes, thanks to you. But if you did not come, I probably would have..." The fox girl shivered at the thought. "I wanted to kill myself, but he took my sword away before I could."
"Here, you should stand up." Yuki reached her hand out to the girl, who hesitantly took it, allowing Yuki to help her stand up. Yuki smiled, causing the girl to suddenly blank out at Yuki\'s handsome smile. It was a half smile, somewhat sly almost but with Yuki\'s good looks the fox girl couldn\'t help but be lost in it. "My name\'s Y-Ryu, what\'s yours?"
"My-My name is Chi..."
