She, Song Yan, is the School Belle of Dafeng City No. 3 Middle School. She cares about her reputation, okay?!
She's always the one rejecting others, always!
Ling Yi watched Song Yan leave, a slight smile involuntarily curving his lips.
High school girls are generally more mature than boys.
Song Yan, this woman, is even more mature than that, not in a Masai way, but rather her personality is mature beyond her years.
Simply put, while other students were still playing in the mud, this woman had already Spirit Gathering.
Of course, the divine status isn't exactly serious.
Ling Yi's refusal this time will inevitably lead to a series of follow-up troubles, such as Song Yan's sycophants.
Ling Yi expressed his anticipation for this.
Ling Yi quickly sensed more than a dozen unfriendly gazes.
Ling Yi's decisive refusal immediately dampened the enthusiasm of the others who had originally wanted to team up with Ling Yi.
"Where should we go to grind monsters tomorrow?" White Moon asked.
White Moon didn't notice the Changes in atmosphere; her mind was preoccupied with grinding monsters tomorrow.
"I'm fine with anything!" Ling Yi shrugged indifferently.
"Let's go to the western wasteland then. The monsters there aren't high-level and are quite dense, making it a good place for newbies to level up quickly."
"OK!"
What time do we leave tomorrow?
"It depends on your time!"
White Moon was already familiar with Ling Yi Ling Yi's personality and was used to his easygoing and indifferent attitude.
"The first bus to the western suburbs wasteland will depart from Garden Station at around 7:20. How about we meet at Garden Station at 7:00?"
"Can!"
"Should we add another warrior and archer, or maybe form a permanent team?"
"You decide!"
White Moon opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing that Ling Yi didn't seem to care about anything, she decided not to say anything more.
I really don't understand how someone like that could acquire such a superior talent.
If Ling Yi knew her thoughts, he would definitely nod in agreement. He himself was also very curious about why he had awakened a superior talent.
This is clearly an attempt to drag oneself into the realm of adolescent delusions.
In fact, newbies usually apply for newbie protection from the Professionals' Guild when they are grinding monsters.
The Professionals' Guild, the Professionals School, and the Awakening Bureau are all official entities.
But their responsibilities are different.
The Awakening Bureau holds the greatest power, and its main work leans towards the management and supervision of professionals.
The Professionals' Guild is more like a quest guild for professionals, or Mercenary Guild in a game.
It is also a place for professional level certification.
Professionals can accept tasks from the Professionals' Guild, and by completing these tasks, they can earn money or guild points.
After agreeing on a time and place to meet White Moon the next day, Ling Yi left the school.
I'm planning to visit the Professionals' Guild and pick up a couple of quests to see if I can earn Little Qian.
There's nothing Ling Yi can do; he's genuinely broke right now.
The tasks assigned by the Professionals' Guild are mostly monster-hunting and material-gathering tasks.
However, it's not very beginner-friendly.
Easy tasks are almost impossible to get, and the tasks that are available are generally beyond the capabilities of beginners.
"Hello, do you have any monster-hunting quests in the western wasteland?" Ling Yi asked the receptionist at the Professionals' Guild.
The young woman glanced at Ling Yi, then pulled out a QR code and said, "Scan this to enter the task page."
It's actually quite convenient to set up.
Ling Yi scanned the QR code with his phone and was immediately taken to a task page.
The page is poorly designed, with a bright green background and bold black text. It looks both cheap and stupid.
Fortunately, the functions are still quite usable.
At the top is the logo of the Dafeng City Professionals' Guild, in white lettering on a black background.
Below that is a search bar, and below that are three buttons: Personal Tasks, Team Tasks, and Specific Tasks.
Below that are the latest tasks, arranged in chronological order.
Each task includes a title, task description, task requirements, number of people who have accepted the task, and number of times the task has been completed.
[NO.1: Collect bitter leaves, task reward: 100 yuan/1000 trees, task requirements: none, task claimed by 322 people, remaining claim attempts: 678!]
[NO.2: Kill saber-toothed rats, reward: 100 yuan/rat, task requirements: only in the eastern suburbs cornfield, task available to 9 people, remaining attempts: unlimited!]
Although Ling Yi's academic performance wasn't great, it was a result he had deliberately kept low profile in the past.
In reality, Ling Yi has an exceptional memory; he can Photographic Memory.
After all, having four times the intelligence of an average person is not just a number.
In the eyes of the patients in this world, this so-called bitter leaf grass is a basic grass for making therapeutic medicines.
In reality, this bitter leaf is a kind of wild vegetable, a very common kind of wild vegetable, which tastes a bit bitter, and has different names in different places.
In the north, it is often called Qumacai!
According to the knowledge in this world's textbooks, eating this bitter leaf directly has a certain therapeutic effect, restoring 10 points of health within 5 minutes.
It can be refined into a basic healing potion, which restores 50 health points within 30 seconds after use.
It is one of the essential basic medicines for all professionals.
Of course, this is just an introduction from the textbook.
In reality, it's just ordinary wild mustard greens. Ling Yi even picked a batch to test it before. Healing? My foot! Ling Yi didn't feel any healing at all.
The key point is that the illustrations in the textbook don't look like Qu Ma Cai at all.
In other words, this thing is mushy cabbage in Ling Yi's eyes, but it looks completely different in the eyes of other chuunibyou sufferers.
For a normal person, facing this kind of abnormal knowledge that goes against the normal knowledge system can sometimes be extremely painful.
For example, the saber-toothed rat in the second task is actually a field mouse.
However, the illustrations of saber-toothed rats in textbooks appear extremely terrifying.
The original text in the textbook reads, "Saber-toothed Rat, a level 5 monster, weighing around 60 kilograms, with foot-long saber-like teeth, high attack, fast speed, low defense, possessing burrowing skills, and its teeth are good materials for Magic Weapon."
Similarly, what others see as a terrifying saber-toothed rat is, in Ling Yi's eyes, just a field mouse.
Sometimes Ling Yi wondered if this world really was just a world of professionals.
Everyone else is normal, only I am abnormal?
But what is the reality?
Look at these people who have joined the Professionals' Guild.
The so-called level 20 warrior who changed class to swordsman carrying a wooden sword, the archer carrying a plastic bow, the level 20 warrior who changed class to medium sword carrying an iron shovel, and the warrior who changed class to hammer carrying a ladle.
Ling Yi pursed his lips. He could pretend to be a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), but he couldn't actually be a real chuunibyou; he really couldn't stand it.
It's better to be a normal person.
But there's no way around it; he's a normal person, so he can't act too normal, otherwise he'll seem abnormal.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Yi began his mission to search the wasteland in the western suburbs.
Collecting level 20 Poison Creeper Beast gallbladders, which are just snake gallbladders from the Cauliflower Snake, one gallbladder is worth 1000 coins, claim it.
Collecting level 35 Gray-Eyed Grey Wolf fangs is fine; they're just ordinary Hui Lang with stats four times that of a normal human. Each wolf fang costs 3,000 coins. Claim it.
Collect the tails of level 22 Gnawtooth Beast, which are basically Rabbit. One tail costs 800 coins. Claim it.
Collect the horns of level 15 Curled-Horn Beast. Curled-Horn Beast? They're just wild goats. A pair of goat horns costs 2,000 coins. Claim it!
Ling Yi could already foresee a great harvest tomorrow.
Cauliflower Snake, Hui Lang, Rabbit, and wild goats—farming these four types of monsters is a piece of cake, isn't it?
Filled with hope for a brighter tomorrow, Ling Yi returned home.
When I opened the door, I saw Little Potato curled up asleep on the sofa.
Little Potato is sleeping soundly right now, drooling at the corner of his mouth, with a silly grin on his face, probably having some sweet dreams.
Ling Yi first went to the kitchen and found that the stewed pork ribs and half a bowl of rice she had made the night before had all been eaten.
The basins, bowls, and plates were all washed clean.
Not bad, at least they know how to wash dishes.
There are five eggs and three green peppers left in the Fridge.
There were less than two bowls of rice left in the rice bag, enough for dinner, but if there was no income after tonight, even eating would become a problem.
"So, being low-key isn't about being low-key at all. As a time traveler, to be worrying about food is shameful!"
Seemingly hearing noises from the kitchen, Little Potato woke up.
Rubbing her eyes, she walked to the kitchen doorway and said, "You're back!"
"Uh-huh!"
Ling Yi finished soaking the rice and asked, "How much of your memory have you recovered?"
Little Potato shook his head dejectedly. "I can't even remember my own name!"
"Let's try the Healing Technique later and see if it works on you!"
"Huh? You've become a pastor?" Little Potato asked.
Seeing Ling Yi nod, Little Potato asked in confusion, "Is your talent grade very low?"
"I like priests!" Ling Yi said casually.
Does anyone still like priests? Among all professions, priesthood is the least popular.
The initial healing effect is almost negligible, so no one is willing to help a priest level up, and the priest has no way to level up on his own.
Only when they grow in strength later on can priests play a role.
Little Potato estimates that Ling Yi's claim of liking to be a pastor is probably just a face-saving excuse.
The priest must have been chosen because their talent level was not high.
"I'll take you out of town to grind monsters tomorrow!" Little Potato said after thinking for a moment.
"Your identity is likely not simple. If you appear in public rashly, it could easily cause trouble."
"Is that so?"
"I suspect so. Yesterday, you Combat with another woman, and she hit you in the head, which caused your injury and amnesia."
"That woman was able to defeat you, so her identity must be extraordinary. It's very likely that Fangzheng's searching for you everywhere!" Ling Yi speculated.
"It's okay, I'll just put on a mask and change my gear."
"Besides, as a priest, it's very difficult for you to level up without someone helping you."
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "I'm in a team, you'd better not take the risk."
Just then, Ling Yi received a text message on his phone.
After reading the message, Ling Yi said helplessly, "Fine, no one's teaming up with me now."
The text message was sent by White Moon.
The gist is that her family arranged a professional experience-farming team for her.
I'll be taking him to a high-level Map to grind monsters tomorrow, so I apologize, Yunyun.
"Did you get dumped?" Little Potato asked.
Ling Yi rolled her eyes. "Listen to what you're saying. 'Being dumped'? Is that even appropriate here?"
