Repeated Searching

After leaving the Contract Beast shop, Yusri asked Angel, "What do you want to do now that you have a weapon?"

"Since this is a game, we have to complete the quest and clear the basement to get the reward, right?" he said to her.

"What have you done with Melia?" he then asked.

"Well, we mostly roam the wilderness and fight monsters" he replied after a quick ponder.

"Is that all you do? What about the search?" he looked at them with wide eyes.

"Uh... So far we've only completed two searches."

"Two!? And you somehow managed to earn so much money!? I don't believe you, brother. There must be something unique that you do differently from other players in order for you to have so much money."

"Then do you want to hunt monsters with us? Of course, we will only fight monsters at your level," Yusri suggested.

However, he shook his head and said, "We can fight monsters later. I want to experience more of this world first, so I'll do some small quests."

"You know where to find the search?" Yusri raised his eyebrows.

"Un. Most stores share the search if you ask," he nodded.

"Where did you learn that? I don't even know about it!" said.

"Internet is a great source of information. You can learn almost everything in it. After all, this is how most players earn their money - by doing quests and clearing dungeons."

"But since we have plenty of time to play together, I want to enjoy the relaxing things in this game with you before we start doing serious things like clearing dungeons and hunting monsters."

"I'm fine with that," Yusri nodded. "I'll follow you now, so lead the way."

"okay!"

Angel then leads Yusri around Spring City until he finds a drugstore and goes inside.

"Hello, I'm looking for a search. Does this store need help with something?" Angel asked the receptionist a moment later.

The receptionist nodded and said, "Oh, thank you for asking! I've run out of some herbs, so if you don't mind, can you bring me 3 Jeans of Spirit Grass? They can be found ten miles away from the city."

«You have received a search from 'Mr Qiang'» Drug Store

«Question: Gathering Grass Roh»

«Difficulty: Easy»

«Search Description: Bring back 3 jins Spirit Grass to Mr. Qiang» Drug Store

«Day: 30 silver»

"We'll be back with Spirit Grass." Angel said to the old man before walking out of the store with Yusri.

"That's it?" Yusri was surprised by how easy it was for them to accept the search.

"What do you expect, brother?" Angel looked at him strangely.

"Nothing...just compared to the search I've done, it's kinda... boring?"

"I don't know what kind of quests you've done but this is quite normal for searches, and it's also very popular among players because it's relatively safe and rewarding."

Looking at Yusri's doubtful gaze, Angel said, "30 silver might not seem much to someone as rich as you, but it is a considerable amount to other players. If one completed this quest ten times, they would have enough for common equipment and the others."

"Repetractable search, yes..." Yusri.

"After all, let's harvest some Spirit Grass. I've done some research last night about this place so I know almost everything around Spring City, including the location of Spirit Grass," angel said as he led Yusri out of town.

"As expected of you, always be ready." Yusri smiled at his enthusiasm.

Some time later, they left Spring City and started walking towards Spirit Grass.

"Brother Tian, there are a few low-level Spirit Apprentice beasts ahead." Melia suddenly warned them.

Yusri then said to Angel, "I'll take care of them."

"Be careful, brother.." he nodded.

Yusri then took the Starry Abyss and quietly approached the monsters.

'The Three Horned Pigs in the third level Spirit Apprentice... This is a good time for me to use the Starry Abyss and practice my dagger skills...' Yusri thought to himself.

Once he got close enough, Yusri suddenly rushed forward and swung the Starry Abyss according to the technique he learned from the Thousand Knives Technique.

Holy hooch!

The black dagger in Yusri's grasp flickered, and the three monsters were decapitated cleanly the next second without even having a chance to react.

'Hm? This feeling is not that bad.' Yusri looked at the Starry Abyss with a surprised face.

Meanwhile, Angel looked at the scene with a shocked expression.

'The movements are very fast and sharp! I didn't even realize his arm had moved until he decapitated the monster!' he cried inwardly after witnessing Yusri's prowess. If only he had known that this was the first time he held a dagger.

"That's amazing, brother! You just look like a completely different person!" He praised her afterwards. "I don't think you're lying when you say that you've hunted a lot of monsters!"

"Your cultivation must be quite high by now. What's your cultivation, brother?" he then asked her.

"That's a secret" he said with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Eh? Why are you keeping it a secret?" he raised his eyebrows.

"Because it's for the surprise that I have for you later," he replied quickly.

"Hmmm..." Angel narrowed her eyes at him with a suspicious look.

Seeing this, Yusri laughed nervously before saying, "After all, now that the monsters are dealt with, let's move on."

"Huh? You're just gonna leave? What about these three monsters?" Angel suddenly asked him.

"Whatchu mean? What about these three monsters?" Yusri tilted his head in confusion.

"Don't tell me you're really going to leave so much material on the ground?! That's so wasteful! If we sell this monster meat and bones to the store, we can earn more money!" he explained to her.

"Oh... I never thought of that." he muttered in a low voice.
