No Going Out to Find Cat-Ears!
When Li Yu took out 40 gold bars, Eina fell silent. "You really use gold to trade?" she thought. Looking at the gold Li Yu had produced, Eina took a deep breath and said, "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll handle it for you."
After speaking, Eina got up and left the lounge. About five or six minutes later, she returned with an elderly dwarf man with a goatee.
The elderly dwarf carried a set of exquisite tools, clearly indicating he was an appraiser from the guild. Eina led the dwarf to Li Yu and the others, saying, "This is the guild's appraiser; we need to examine this gold."
Eina quickly explained the situation, explaining that it was a necessary procedure for the guild, and Li Yu didn't mind, indicating that they could check as they pleased.
Seeing this, the old dwarf quickly stepped forward to inspect the gold. He picked up a piece of gold, weighed it briefly, and placed it on the scale. After confirming it was the correct weight, he slowly said, "I need to cut it open. Any losses will be charged to the guild."
Hearing the old dwarf's words, Li Yu nodded and gestured, "Please make yourselves at home, there's absolutely no problem with this gold."
Although Li Yu said that, the dwarf still cut it open. He randomly selected a piece and used his tools to cut the gold in half. He then performed a series of inspections to confirm that there were no problems before slowly saying, "The gold is fine."
Seeing this, Li Yu immediately took out the remaining 10 jin of gold and said, "Please help me verify these as well. Those are for purchasing the manor, and I hope this batch can be exchanged for Valis."
Li Yu didn't intend to embezzle the gold he had. Now that he had just arrived in this world, he needed money, and the gold he was given was just enough to buy a manor and fifty million Valis.
Fifty million is enough for everyone to live comfortably in this world. Li Yu can then purchase some armor and other similar items.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We can use these Valis to buy things we didn't prepare, not to mention that we still need to buy some things for the manor. After spending all this money, there probably won't be much left.
Eina readily agreed to Li Yu's request. The dwarf inspected the gold and found no problems, so the two sides quickly reached a deal.
Valis Li Yu directly asked for cash. The several large boxes containing Valis were put into Li Yu's Space Ring. It was an hour later when he finished doing all this.
Li Yu successfully obtained the house Contract and keys, and the Hestia Familia was officially established. Hestia was overjoyed to have these qualifications.
Looking at the heavy bunch of keys, Contract, and badges in her hand, she felt a surge of joy. The manor was ready to be moved into immediately, without any need for renovations, as all these things were already in place.
All that was left was to buy some furniture and stuff to put inside, and once Li Yu and his group had reached an agreement on the purchases, Eina had already arranged for someone to go and help with the cleaning.
Seeing Hestia grinning foolishly, Li Yu immediately said, "Let's go buy some furniture and have it delivered, then we need to go and settle in."
Hearing Li Yu's words, Hestia quickly nodded and said, "Alright, then we won't go to Hephaestus's place for now!"
Originally, she planned to take Li Yu and the others to find her best friend, but now that the Familia's settlement had been purchased, matters concerning the Familia were naturally more important.
After making the decision, everyone set off. After leaving the guild, they headed straight for the commercial district, where Li Yu bought a bunch of things.
He bought all sorts of furniture, beds, and dining tables at once, along with pots, pans, and other miscellaneous items. In total, Li Yu spent several million yuan in one go.
The shop owners were overjoyed by this unexpected windfall. They promptly opted to offer free delivery and installation, and this opening was enough to sustain them for three years.
After purchasing everything, Li Yu led everyone towards the camp. Hestia was walking in front, skipped and hopped, in a wonderful mood.
The group walked through the bustling streets of Orario, followed by a long delivery line, a sight that drew the attention of many onlookers.
Leading the delivery team, the group headed towards the manor in the eastern region. The further east they went, the quieter the streets became. After passing through the bustling city, they came into view fields.
It felt like everyone had come to the countryside, but the environment here was exceptionally pleasing to them, at least it wasn't as noisy as the town of Orario.
The group soon spotted their new place, where a three-story stone building stood in the distance.
Upon seeing this European-style manor, everyone quickened their pace. As they approached, they could see more details; it was a typical European-style manor.
This place seems to have originally been intended as a residence for a certain Familia, which is why there are so many rooms, as you can tell by looking at the windows.
The building is U-shaped, consisting of three buildings, each with three floors and a pointed top, adorned with exquisite reliefs.
Upon seeing the building before them, everyone's eyes lit up. Accustomed to modern skyscrapers, this classic European manor still amazed the students.
"It's even better than in the photos!" Asuna was very satisfied with the building in front of her; the photos didn't do it justice.
"And the environment is nice too." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the quiet surroundings and couldn't help but smile slightly. Dragging her tired body, she was sure she could get a good night's sleep here.
"Let's go. Although it's not as convenient as modern places, it's still a pretty good place. Let's all get used to it gradually." After saying that, Li Yu took the lead and walked over.
Hearing Li Yu's words, everyone nodded. In this other world, having a place to live was already quite good; what more could they ask for? They were all very satisfied with their situation.
Upon entering the manor and observing its layout, Li Yu Li Yu immediately made arrangements, saying, "The boys will live on the left, the girls on the right, and the middle will serve as the activity room, kitchen, and dining area. Hestia, you will live in the middle."
Li Yu made the arrangements in a very simple and straightforward manner. There were more rooms than he had imagined, so he arranged them haphazardly, simply placing men on the left and women on the right.
And this place seems to be arranged in the same way, with the two buildings on the left and right used as dormitories, and the one in the middle used as a common room and kitchen.
Everyone agreed with Li Yu's arrangement; it was the best possible arrangement. They didn't even care where they stayed, since there were plenty of rooms.
After Li Yu finished speaking, he told everyone to choose their own rooms. Then, he had people bring in beds and other furniture, and everyone laid out their own sheets and blankets, and that was it—they were all settled in.
He was also planning to choose a room to stay in, but Hestia insisted on dragging Li Yu and Asuna to stay in the middle building together.
In her words, she would be bored to death living there by herself, and it would be terrible if she didn't have many people living with her.
Li Yu didn't care about Hestia's entanglement, so she simply let Asuna and the others accompany her, while Li Yu randomly found a room on the second floor of the middle building to stay in.
By the time everyone finished, it was already evening. As night fell, they experienced some of the unique technologies of this world.
For example, lamps that use Magic Stone as energy. Once these lamps are lit, the light in the entire camp is actually not bad. After everyone has finished setting up their rooms, they gather together and take out the ingredients they brought to start preparing dinner.
Because we were new here, everything had to be kept simple. For dinner, we just made some simple things to fill our stomachs and that was it.
After finishing his meal, Li Yu gathered everyone together for a short meeting Li Yu explained the upcoming arrangements.
"We won't rush to the Dungeon for the next few days. Tomorrow, we'll take care of some things at the base, set up the training grounds and such, and also find some people to come back to clean and cook," Li Yu explained his ideas.
After all, it's impossible for them to keep cooking and cleaning for themselves. They won't have time to deal with these things once they go down into the Dungeon.
Therefore, in addition to these official members, it is necessary to hire some honest people to handle these daily chores. Many Familia in Orario do this.
Hearing Li Yu say this, everyone naturally had no objections. This arrangement was excellent; with someone to help them handle these trivial matters, everyone could focus on improving their strength.
"Besides that, everyone should go and familiarize yourselves with the surroundings tomorrow..." As he said this, Li Yu specifically looked towards the boys, his expression somewhat strange.
"And one more thing... you absolutely must not go to any red-light districts, lest you catch a bunch of diseases or something. You know, in this day and age, the hygiene conditions in some places are..." No need to say more.
Li Yu only hinted at it, and everyone understood. They were all teenagers; what if these guys got carried away and went in to experience it and end their careers as great True Magic?
These words immediately drew disdain from the girls, especially those classmates who had shown great interest in animal-eared girls when they arrived.
"It's okay, go if you want. They'll just get expelled when you get back." Just as the boys were feeling incredibly awkward, a voice suddenly rang out, and then Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others walked in from outside.
Li Yu smelled beer on Hiratsuka Shizuka. Had these guys gone out to eat before coming over? Li Yu was speechless at the thought.
The one who just spoke was Hiratsuka Shizuka. Her words drew a clear line for everyone, and those who had been harboring some secret thoughts immediately quieted down upon hearing them.
Nobody wants to get expelled, so it's best not to get involved in this kind of thing. If you get expelled and your family is notified, that would be a disaster. You might even get your legs broken by your parents.
The thought sent chills down everyone's spines; it was truly terrifying. So, they decided to stop thinking about such things and focus on training here, then they could return with everyone later.
"She's right. If you want to go, we won't stop you, but we'll inform your parents when you get back and have you drop out of school," Nangong Natsuki added.
There is zero tolerance for such things. But if you dare to go to such a place on your first trip to another world, won't you completely unleash your inner killers and commit arson in the future?
That's why they need to Binding and prevent them from causing trouble. It's good that Li Yu could think of this, since Li Yu has studied a lot of academic subjects since childhood.
"We won't go!" "Yes, absolutely not!" "We are sworn enemies of gambling, drugs, and prostitution!" Hearing the two teachers' words, the students quickly made their promises.
Nangong Natsuki glanced at the male classmates, then said nothing more. Instead, she addressed Li Yu, "We'll be staying here from now on. If you have any questions for us while you're in your Familia, feel free to come to us anytime."
As she finished speaking, Yor also spoke up, looking at everyone with a smile, "I'm skilled in using all kinds of weapons. If you want to learn, you can always ask me."
The three teachers represented three courses: True Magic was taught to Nangong Natsuki, boxing to Shizuka Hiratsuka, and weapons to Yor. This was their division of labor, and their words prompted the students to nod in agreement.
Although they've arrived in another world, it seems that everyone still needs to learn what they're supposed to learn; in fact, there are still some things these teachers haven't said.
That means they will evaluate these people based on their performance in the other world, and whether they will be directly admitted to university will depend on their own performance.
The three teachers checked in directly. After a short meeting, everyone went back to their rooms to wash up and rest. They had things to do the next day, and there weren't many recreational activities, so everyone rested after washing up in their rooms.
Just after Li Yu and his group quieted down, the gods of Orario also received news of Hestia's descent and immediately began building their own Familia.
This news surprised many people. That guy actually came down too? Hestia's friend Hephaestus was also somewhat surprised when she heard the news. That guy came down but didn't come to find her?
And that lazybones actually formed his own Familia? That's really surprising. After thinking for a moment, Hephaestus decided to go and check on that guy tomorrow.
After finding out the location of the Hestia Familia and the price of the manor, Hephaestus's surprise deepened. She couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on? Did that guy strike gold?"
She doesn't yet know that Hestia's Familia members are from another world. Loki hasn't told anyone about this; she's only said that Hestia has come over.
Li Yu and the others were unaware of all this. He was already lying in bed in a meditative state, and Li Yu had made up his mind to inscribe a Meditation Array in his room the next day.
The Meditation Array Meditation Array makes all the difference between two states. With that thought in mind, Li Yu entered a meditative state.
The group began their first night in this strange world. Some fell asleep, while others couldn't, so they simply sat by the window and looked at the night sky of this other world, untouched by industrial pollution.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, Li Yu got up early. When he finished washing up and went downstairs, he found that there were guests in the Familia. Hestia was chatting away in the living room with a red-haired woman wearing an eye patch.
Seeing Li Yu come down, Hestia's eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly waved to Li Yu, saying, "Li Yu Li Yu, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Hephaestus!"
