Chapter 115 Daily Life. - You Jiahui's accident happened.
As mentioned in the previous chapter, Yang Mingyi and the two trainee mages went out for more than a day. After returning, they spent the entire evening in Yang Mingyi's room. They were having so much fun that no one noticed the passage of time. Just as they were enjoying themselves, the lights in the palace suddenly went out. If they wanted to continue playing, they would have to light a new lamp. However, they both decided it was time for bed, so they didn't light any lamps and instead packed their clothes in the moonlight. Afterward, they all lay down on Yang Mingyi's bed.
Just as they crawled into bed and were about to go to sleep, Cordelia suddenly asked Yang Mingyi about the "underground city".
Yang Mingyi's heart shuddered at the question, and all sleepiness vanished as her mind raced. She thought, "Oh, Xinyang. She came to my room a while ago to talk about the dungeons..." Thinking of this, she immediately replied to Cordelia, "The people who told me about the dungeons were all from the Adventurer's Guild, and Xinyang told me the most. She's conquered several dungeons and told me all about her thrilling battles."
After hearing this, Li Xingqi became curious. She asked Yang Mingyi, "Then tell me about her dungeon raiding, since you know everything."
Yang Mingyi said to the other two girls, "It's almost time to go to bed, so I'm just telling a bedtime story..."
Cortilauia had the same idea as Li Xingqi, asking Yang Mingyi to tell her "story." She said to Yang Mingyi, "If you don't explain it clearly, we won't be able to sleep either."
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Yang Mingyi said to the other two girls, "Okay, okay. I'll tell you, I'll tell you. But don't blame me if my story isn't good." Then, after thinking for a while, she slowly told the other two girls, saying, "There's something strange about this. I've heard from other adventurers that when attacking monsters, magic is more lethal than physical attacks. But Xin Yang said that magic damage is not as strong as her arrows. This conclusion is completely opposite..." When she thought of this problem that she couldn't explain, she was stunned and didn't know how to continue.
Cordelia asked Yang Mingyi, "You mean Qi Xinyang can use both a bow and arrow and magic, and after comparing them, he found that arrows are more effective?"
Yang Mingyi hummed, then replied to Cordelia, "Yes, that's the situation. However, other adventurers must have come to their own conclusions after experiencing it firsthand..." And so, she slowly began to recount the "stories" she remembered. Her account, of course, differed from Qi Xinyang's own account.
So, while Yang Mingyi is narrating, let’s review the previous plot.
Actually, Qi Xinyang's arrows are also enhanced by wind magic, and the truth is that magical attacks are indeed more effective than physical attacks. Her "Wind Blade" can't kill enemies in one hit, because "Wind Blade" itself can't kill enemies in one hit. However, "Wind Blade" consumes very little magic energy and is a spell that stacks damage based on quantity.
Next, Yang Mingyi slowly recounted the story Qi Xinyang had told her earlier. But before she could finish, she realized the other two girls had already fallen asleep. Not long after, Yang Mingyi, now silent, quickly fell asleep as well. The three of them slept together on the large bed for the rest of the night. Fortunately, aside from Yang Mingyi's slight weight gain, the other two were quite thin, so it wasn't too crowded.
The two girls knew from day one that Yang Mingyi was the "summoner." Everyone in the palace knew someone from another world had been summoned that day; otherwise, the news wouldn't have spread outside the palace. Initially, the two girls were somewhat resistant to someone summoned to this world. But Yang Mingyi was different, so easily able to warm up to strangers. Therefore, it didn't take long for them to become good friends.
A night passed, and they woke up in the morning. Urged by the dazzling morning light, the three girls got out of bed one after another.
Cordelia stretched and yawned. Then, with a hint of complaint, she said to the other two girls, "One person is best, but two people are okay. With three of us squeezed into one bed, even the biggest one won't be that comfortable."
Li Xingqi said to Cordilauria, "I think it's okay. It's quite comfortable to hold Mingyi."
After hearing Li Xingqi's words, Yang Mingyi didn't think anything was wrong at first. But then, she looked unhappy and began to doubt herself, thinking, "Is it comfortable to hold me? Is it because I have a lot of flesh?"
Afterwards, after a brief chat, the three girls dressed and headed off for breakfast. I won't go into detail about their subsequent magic lessons. Anyway, Yang Mingyi's progress in magic was as slow as ever, so there wasn't much to say. It was simply that her low magic energy was hindering her studies.
Speaking of magic energy, the root of all this is that the four girls had just arrived in the other world, and their magic energy was only just beginning to grow. Meanwhile, those who grew up in this other world had already been increasing their magic energy for many years. This is why their magic energy seemed somewhat insufficient compared to their peers in this other world.
Regarding the relationship between learning magic of different elements and magic energy, it is necessary to briefly explain. Qi Xinyang's wind magic is the least restricted by magic energy, followed by Wei Qingping's earth magic, and the most restricted is Yang Mingyi's water magic.
There was nothing more to say on Yang Mingyi's side, but You Jiahui could continue to speak.
Now, let's turn our attention back to You Jiahui. Today, she was heading to the forge as scheduled. But before that, she had something more important to do. She needed to leave the city before daybreak to check how many resources were available for future use within her territory.
The guards at the palace and city gates were amazed to see You Jiahui leaving so early in the morning. This was much earlier than usual. She rode the palace horses, and the rapid galloping of the horses naturally raised a cloud of dust on the road. The clatter of horses' hooves also woke up many people who were reluctant to get up early.
You Jiahui was galloping on the road outside the city, braving the chill of the morning breeze, and thought to herself, "It's time to run around in the territory. I can't just sit there stupidly watching the construction site all day long..." While she was thinking this, the horse under her crotch had already stepped onto the morning grass and was running towards the woods she wanted to go.
The horse under You Jiahui's crotch was a high-quality steed from the palace. It galloped very hard in the early morning. The horse, like You Jiahui, had not eaten yet since getting up so early in the morning. You Jiahui had brought breakfast with her on the road, intending to start eating after reaching a suitable resting place. The horse's life was even easier. There was grass everywhere in You Jiahui's territory. After all, You Jiahui's territory had not been cultivated for many years, so it was inevitable that there would be weeds growing everywhere. You Jiahui also knew what kind of grass the horse could eat, so there were no dietary issues on this trip.
Just as the sun completely left the horizon, You Jiahui happened to arrive at the forest that the president of the Merchant Guild had mentioned before.
Looking at the large forest in front of her, You Jiahui thought to herself, "Hmm. I looked at the map yesterday, and it should be here. This must be the forest that the president mentioned. Let's go in and see how big it is!" With this thought in mind, she entered the woods.
As soon as You Jiahui entered the woods, she felt a gentle breeze blowing through, a breath of fresh air. Then, she heard the birds singing, which instantly made her feel relaxed and happy. Suddenly, she jumped off her horse and slowly walked forward, leading the horse.
Every few dozen steps, You Jiahui would check the surrounding trees. Patting the trunks, she thought to herself, "Just as the president said, the trees here are indeed suitable for construction. The president is truly resourceful, even knowing what these trees are good for. But felling the trees and cutting them into planks takes a lot of work. Will there really be enough time?" She continued to walk forward, doubtful, until she was completely out of the woods.
After You Jiahui remounted her horse, she only raced a short distance before she spotted what appeared to be a forest in the distance. This puzzled her. She wondered, "The president never mentioned that forest. Can the trees there also be used for lumber?" Just as she hesitated, a sudden gust of wind blew from behind, as if pushing her forward. She made a decision, thinking, "Forget it! Instead of guessing or asking others, I might as well go and see for myself. Anyway, I'm already here..."
Perhaps it was her current skill and courage, or perhaps it was the sudden gust of wind that gave her the courage, but You Jiahui rode her horse alone, not even looking back, towards the unknown forest...
The horse ran for a while and carried You Jiahui to the "unknown woods".
At this moment, facing the woods before her, You Jiahui's mood was completely different from before. Before even entering the woods, she immediately jumped off her horse and landed on the ground. Instinctively, she decided to dismount and lead the way.
You Jiahui only carried a short sword today, no shield, and no armor. After the previous dungeon battle, her equipment was damaged, and she didn't repair it, just put it away. As she left the house today, she thought, "There are no mid-level monsters in the territory anyway. A short sword should be more than enough to deal with low-level monsters and ordinary beasts." So, she only brought a short sword today.
After entering the woods, You Jiahui had a vague sense of foreboding, a feeling that there might be some danger within. Despite this, she continued onward. As the aura of danger grew stronger, she walked slowly forward, carefully observing her surroundings.
The atmosphere in this forest was completely different from the one I had just been in. Instead of the melodious chirping of birds, I could occasionally hear some strange calls, and not every call was from the same creature.
You Jiahui felt a little regretful at this time, and thought to herself, "If I had known earlier, I would not have brought the horse into the woods. I should have left it outside the woods. If some ferocious beast suddenly appears and the horse gets scared and runs around, where can I find it..." Thinking of this, she began to worry about the horse.
Seeing the horse looking a little scared, You Jiahui immediately turned the horse around. As she was stroking the horse's neck and whispering soothing words to the horse, a dark object suddenly rushed out from the woods behind her!
You Jiahui didn't realize what was attacking her until she saw it clearly. She immediately drew her dagger, thinking, "What you fear will come true!"
You Jiahui had originally planned to lead the horse out of the woods first and then go back in alone to investigate, but now it was too late. Why was it too late? Because the wild boar had already charged towards them!
You Jiahui didn't have time to think. She acted decisively, stabbing the horse's hind legs with the end of her scabbard. The horse, startled, bolted from the woods. She then used the end of her scabbard to draw an arrow on the ground, marking the direction the horse had fled. This way, she had a clear path to follow, making it easier for her to find the horse later. She had only just learned this practical method after seeing the adventure group use it in the dungeon.
At this moment, within the visible range of the woods, only You Jiahui and a wild boar were fighting.
Logically speaking, with You Jiahui's current strength, dealing with a wild boar shouldn't be a problem. However, since she wasn't carrying a shield or wearing armor, she was also quite afraid of getting hurt.
Just as the wild boar was about to charge towards her, You Jiahui didn't just stand there, but immediately moved away. She leaned against a large tree, waiting for the wild boar to charge at her.
There was a loud "bang!" The wild boar made a loud noise after hitting an object. However, it did not hit You Jiahui, but the big tree behind You Jiahui.
It turned out that just when the wild boar was about to hit her, You Jiahui nimbly dodged the impact.
