I'm a Poor Ghost, I Want to Make Money

Yuuki Asuna noticed Li Yu's gaze. She followed his line of sight and immediately understood what he meant.

At this moment, Li Yu made his move. He raised his hand, condensing a cyan magic circle, and unleashed a Wind Blade.

The Wind Blade sliced through the bushes in its path, instantly alerting the monsters hidden within. Yuuki Asuna, watching from the side, felt a flash of surprise at the magic Li Yu had just used.

Li Yu has started mastering magic so quickly? And it's wind-elemental... Is he a wind-elemental mage? Yuuki Asuna felt a surge of curiosity, but her movements remained swift.

She charged forward first, with Li Yu following closely behind. The situation was much as Li Yu had guessed: there was more than one monster.

After Li Yu's magic struck, the monsters crawling in the bushes became agitated.

"Gaaah!" One by one, the monsters poked their heads out, rolling in all directions to dodge the Wind Blade. Naturally, the one closest to the impact didn't dodge in time and was struck by Li Yu's attack.

A deep, bone-exposed wound appeared on its body, blood spraying everywhere. The intense pain caused it to shriek.

As Li Yu and Yuuki Asuna rushed forward, they clearly saw the appearance and number of these monsters. Short stature, green skin, sharp-mouthed and monkey-cheeked—these were, without a doubt, *Goblin*s.

The moment Yuuki Asuna saw these monsters, her hackles rose, and the speed of her sword strikes increased sharply.

Any woman would have a natural aversion to *Goblin*s. Because of this, the moment she saw them, the only thing on Yuuki Asuna's mind was to kill them all!

Yuuki Asuna rushed to the front, reaching the Goblin that had been wounded by Li Yu's magic, and without hesitation, she lopped off its head with a single strike.

On the other side, Li Yu didn't want to be outdone. He charged at one of the *Goblin*s and performed an upward slash... but the "flying Goblin" he had imagined didn't happen.

Instead, the sharp tip of the Tang Dao in Li Yu's hand sliced through the Goblin's stomach and jaw. The Goblin let out a miserable cry and collapsed to the ground.

Li Yu was stunned for a moment as he watched this. The sharpness of this weapon was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

He hadn't expected the blade to be this sharp; it had sliced the Goblin into such a state in a single exchange.

Though he was speechless, Li Yu acted quickly, beginning to harvest the lives of these *Goblin*s.

These *Goblin*s had been caught off guard by Li Yu and Yuuki Asuna at first, but once the pair killed the first one, the monsters' ferocity was fully ignited.

After quickly adjusting, they launched an attack on Li Yu and Yuuki Asuna. These *Goblin*s didn't know any magic; all they could do was pick up rocks from the ground and hurl them.

Facing this, Li Yu swung his blade rapidly, slicing the incoming rocks in two, then charged forward with Yuuki Asuna to begin the slaughter.

In less than a minute, all the *Goblin*s were finished off by Li Yu and Yuuki Asuna.

Looking at the pile of slain *Goblin*s, Yuuki Asuna scanned the surroundings to see if anything else was hiding nearby.

At this time, Li Yu noticed the weapon in Yuuki Asuna's hand—a thin sword similar to a rapier. Although she had killed quite a few *Goblin*s, not a single drop of blood had stained it.

It was clearly a very expensive weapon, and at the same time, Li Yu gained a deeper understanding of the Tang Dao in his own hand.

The value of this blade was even higher than he had imagined; otherwise, it wouldn't be so incredibly sharp.

"It seems there are no more!" Yuuki Asuna looked around, and after confirming there was no further movement, she spoke to Li Yu.

Hearing her, Li Yu nodded. He looked at the Goblin corpses and, without hesitation, brought his Tang Dao down toward their heads.

"Clack!" With one strike and a light pry, the skull was split open, and Li Yu used the tip of his Tang Dao to flick out a stone from inside.

This was the Magic Stone left behind by the monster. On a Goblin's entire body, this was the only thing of any real value.

As for the other parts? Those were just fertilizer; someone would come to clean them up later.

With an incident like this occurring here, the patrol team would likely turn this area upside down soon.

Yuuki Asuna was speechless at Li Yu's actions, but she didn't say anything. She would likely experience this kind of thing herself in the future.

After all, in school, they had been taught how to handle these monsters since middle school, and the exact locations of the *Magic Stone*s had been taught clearly.

Li Yu quickly extracted the *Magic Stone*s from the few *Goblin*s and looked at Yuuki Asuna. "Let's split them fifty-fifty."

Hearing Li Yu, Yuuki Asuna looked at the *Magic Stone*s in his hand, which were about the size of an infant's finger. She shook her head and refused, "No need, classmate Li Yu. You can keep them."

Especially when she thought about how these stones were stained with blood and some brain-like matter, Yuuki Asuna wanted them even less. She had just taken a shower!

"You don't want them? Then I won't be polite!" Li Yu was stunned for a second when he heard her, then immediately accepted them all without hesitation.

These *Magic Stone*s could be sold for quite a bit of money. Of course, Li Yu wanted to use them to set up a magic circle like the one at school.

If he relied on his own money to buy them, he would likely go bankrupt instantly. Now that he had these *Magic Stone*s, it would be much easier.

"Classmate Li Yu, are you planning to sell these *Magic Stone*s for money?" Thinking of Li Yu's situation, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but ask.

"No, I plan to set up a magic circle in my room like the one on the third floor of the school—the one we had class in this morning." Li Yu didn't hide it and shared his plan.

Yuuki Asuna's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at Li Yu in surprise and said, "Classmate Li Yu has already mastered that auxiliary array? You can set it up yourself?"

This was truly unexpected. If he could really set one up in his own home, the benefits would be immense.

"Yeah, it's quite simple. The materials are just a hassle; it requires some *Magic Stone*s. These ones are enough for me for now." Generally speaking, the higher the quality of the Magic Stone, the better the effect.

But Li Yu was poor right now and didn't have the money to buy better ones. These Goblin *Magic Stone*s would suffice for now; he could worry about better ones later.

"Classmate Li Yu, are you interested in making some extra money?" Yuuki Asuna pondered for a moment before asking.

As soon as she said this, Li Yu became interested. He looked up at Yuuki Asuna and said, "Tell me about it. I'm a pauper right now. If there's a way to make money, please lead the way, Boss!"

Li Yu didn't feel inferior at all because of his poverty; instead, he spoke bluntly. This frank attitude left Yuuki Asuna feeling both amused and helpless.
