Chapter 8: Will there be any lucky things in the other world?
When You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi were lying on the ground and thought they were dead, Yang Mingyi groaned "It hurts so much" and looked up to see Liaohuoyazhu also lying on the ground motionless.
Yang Mingyi asked weakly, "What's going on? What happened to the pig?"
You Jiahui glanced at the fire-toothed pig not far away and said weakly, "It's dead."
Yang Mingyi misunderstood her meaning and turned to look at her, asking doubtfully, "Are you dead? Then why are you still talking?"
You Jiahui said a little irritably: "The pig is dead."
Yang Mingyi heard her tone and thought she was scolding her. She said sadly while feeling pained, "You are the pig."
You Jiahui didn't want to talk anymore. She rolled over and lay quietly, her eyes fixed on the sky. She had never expected that her bow and arrow skills and Yang Mingyi's water magic skills would be ineffective. Instead, it was her backup sword and heavy shield that proved crucial. In fact, it was her mastery of the "swordsmanship" skill that had truly delivered the most devastating blow to the monster.
After a long time, Yang Mingyi, who had regained her strength, raised her head again. She glanced at the shattered heavy shield, then slowly crawled over to check on the Fire-Tooth Pig lying on the ground. She first looked from the left side of the Fire-Tooth Pig itself, vaguely seeing a sword handle stuck in the right eye on the other side. When she gradually turned to the right side of the corpse to check, she saw that the right eye was gone, and blood and brain fluid flowed out from the sword handle, all over the ground (mosaic is required here). The sword pierced through the Fire-Tooth Pig's right eye and went straight into its brain, killing it on the spot. It turned out that when Yang Mingyi was holding the heavy shield to resist the impact, You Jiahui immediately held the sword with both hands as planned, and placed the sword body above the heavy shield and aimed it at the Fire-Tooth Pig's right eye, waiting for the Fire-Tooth Pig to collide with the sword. However, the force of the collision was too strong, and they were still knocked away.
After seeing the death of the Fire-toothed Pig, Yang Mingyi vomited all over the floor. As she vomited, she felt a sharp pain on the left side of her stomach, as if struck by lightning. Her expression was extremely distorted, and her whole body suddenly became weak and her breathing accelerated. She vaguely thought that her ribs might be broken, and she couldn't help but touch the painful area with her hand. But as soon as she touched it, the pain disappeared completely in an instant. She didn't even know that at this moment, she had not only learned the healing technique, but also used it on herself, and it was a "mastery level" healing technique. In fact, a long time ago, the holy mage in the palace had taught her how to cast the "healing technique", but she had never been able to use it.
You Jiahui noticed something was wrong with Yang Mingyi, so she stood up and walked over to ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Following the direction Yang Mingyi pointed, You Jiahui also started vomiting after seeing the death of the fire-toothed pig.
Only after they stopped vomiting did they realize they should return to the city as soon as possible, as the gates were closed and they couldn't enter. It wasn't too late for them to return, and they had previously borrowed the palace's fine "troika" (a carriage pulled by three horses), and now they were hauling the corpse of the burning pig back on the carriage. You Jiahui had originally thought it would be faster to ride back and forth, but since Yang Mingyi couldn't ride, they borrowed the carriage instead. Not only did they borrow the carriage, but they also borrowed their bows and arrows, heavy shields, longswords, and other protective gear from the palace armory.
On the way back, Yang Mingyi was incredibly happy. As she drove the carriage, she thought about the bounty and the potential for edible meat from the scorching-tusk pig. The more she thought about it, the happier she became.
You Jiahui sat at the rear of the car, staring blankly at the back, and no one knew what she was thinking.
When Wei Qingping reached the innermost part of the cave, she discovered a large opening at the top. Light streamed directly through the cemetery, illuminating a towering statue before her. Seeing this wonder, she thought to herself, "Whose statue of a deity is this? It looks quite beautiful, but it's too big. If it were palm-sized, I could carry it with me and treasure it."
She planned to rest here for the day and continue her journey tomorrow. She then took out all the food from her bag and placed it on the stone platform in front of the statue. But in a flash, the food was gone! This frightened her. She wiped her eyes, then wiped the stone platform again. It was indeed gone. She searched around the statue again, and it was indeed gone. She once again questioned her sanity. At this moment, she felt that fate really liked to play tricks on her, always making her encounter inexplicable things.
Looking at the statue before her, she began to mutter to herself. She said to the statue in frustration, "Oh, God. Why are you playing such a joke? Why couldn't you just do me a favor and bring me back to life? Instead of sending me to this other world?"
A voice in her head replied, "No way. I'm covering for my assistant."
She stared at the statue with wide eyes and said, "Wait! Is it really the god speaking?"
The voice in her head: "Did I say it... Yes. I am God."
She grabbed the statue's feet with both hands and said, "Wait, wait! Don't move." At this moment, she thought to herself that she didn't care whether she was crazy or not, she just took it seriously.
She then asked the statue, "Can you send me back to my original world?"
The voice in her head: "No."
She asked hurriedly, "Why?"
The voice in her head: "Just said, I'm cleaning up my assistant's ass."
She asked again: "What do you mean? I don't understand."
The voice in her head said, "Listen to my story! I had nothing better to do, so I became an assistant. Unexpectedly, it took matters into its own hands to save me trouble. And that left a loophole in this world. The human world used summoning to disrupt the balance. I had no choice but to follow suit and summon you. Ding ding ding ding ~ ding ding! That's all. Thank you everyone!"
She murmured, "I understand a little bit. You mean, I am the toilet paper used to wipe your assistant's butt. Oh, how disgusting..."
The voice in her head said: "Not really. If it's just a problem with my assistant, then I can solve it without summoning you."
She asked, “Why else?”
The voice in his head said: "I can't tell you this yet. I can't let you know the secret."
She said, "Mortals cannot reveal the secrets of heaven, so it's okay for you to reveal it yourself."
The voice in her head: "No, that's not fun."
She suspected she might have missed something and asked, "What!?"
The voice in her head: "I mean, if I told you in advance, this matter wouldn't have ended well."
She asked, "Oh, it's not over yet. Can I have some benefits?"
The voice in her head: "What do you want? You want this golden axe..."
"Give me an apartment, just a few hundred square meters, a few more floors doesn't matter, as long as you are happy, Brother God. Hehehe." She thought of how she always wanted to have her own house in her original world, and she said it before the God finished speaking.
The voice in her head: "Oh, I get it. Here you go! I'm leaving now. Goodbye, little one!"
She thought to herself: What did they give me? The property certificate? Where is it? I don’t see it.
When Wei Qingping was searching everywhere for the non-existent "property certificate", and was about to turn around to look for it behind the statue, a stranger happened to come in front of the statue. The stranger didn't see anyone at first, but when Wei Qingping turned around from behind the statue to the front.
The stranger suddenly noticed Wei Qingping and asked, "Who is it?"
Wei Qingping pointed at herself and said weakly, "It's me."
The stranger then asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
Wei Qingping answered naively, "I am who I am."
The stranger, visibly annoyed, asked, "Who the hell are you?"
Wei Qingping stepped back involuntarily and said timidly, "I'm just passing by."
The stranger stopped talking and got ready, then used the "identification technique" directly on Wei Qingping.
Wei Qingping didn't understand the spell, but seeing that the stranger was staring at her blankly without saying anything, she politely said, "Goodbye." Then she turned around and was about to pick up her luggage and leave.
The stranger knelt down before the statue, shouting, "God bless us! Send us a 'prophet'!"
Wei Qingping thought to herself, "What the hell? The gods didn't say they were going to give me 'Jiang Xia Xian Zhi Le'. Didn't they say they were going to give me a house? Do they call houses given away 'Jiang Xia Xian Zhi Le' here? Oh, I exchanged it for food. The people here must use the name of some kind of delicacy to refer to things given by the gods. I can't let this person get it for free. After all, it was exchanged for my food. I'm right!"
Thinking of this, Wei Qingping said, "'Jiang Xia Xian Juice' is for me, you can't take it away. I'm telling you, people should be reasonable. The gods took away my food, and I exchanged it for it. It's mine, not yours."
The stranger was shocked again and asked, "Have you made offerings to the gods?" Then the man collapsed on the ground and muttered, "It has been hundreds of years. Finally, it is no longer a punishment from the gods. There are mortals who are being 'favored' by the gods again..." Then he knelt down in front of the statue again and prayed devoutly.
Wei Qingping was confused and thought: Why do people here speak so strangely? It's so hard to understand.
After a moment of daze, Wei Qingping suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Oh, you're talking about 'prophet', that 'prophet'. Oh, this is a huge misunderstanding! When Big Brother God spoke to me just now, he didn't ask me to be a prophet."
The stranger was completely crazy and asked, "Did the gods give you an 'oracle'? What was the content of the 'oracle'?"
Wei Qingping asked doubtfully, "Oracle?" She thought for a moment, then imitated the voice of a god and said, "Oh, I understand. Here, I'll give it to you! I'm leaving now. Goodbye, little friend!"
The stranger kept repeating the "oracle" Wei Qingping had said, nodded, and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes! That's right! That's right! That's right!"
The stranger suddenly said with relief, "The gods would never speak so bluntly. It really is an oracle, it can't be wrong!"
The stranger then began to introduce himself: "I am the elven holy mage 'Mioshemo', a loyal servant of the gods." He then lowered his white hood, revealing his ears, which were unique to the elven race. He was an elven man with white skin and hair, and long, pointed ears.
Wei Qingping was shocked. She stared at the pointed ears intently and said, "Wow! It really is an elf!" Then she said doubtfully, "I've seen other elves in the mountains before. Although they all have pointed ears, they look different."
Miosimo: "Those pointed ears are a little different. What you saw before were 'half-demons', not us 'elves'. This country does have many half-demons."
Wei Qingping: "Oh, so they are the 'half-demon tribe'. They look weird, and they even committed suicide together with daggers. They must be crazy."
Miosimo asked in surprise, "Suicide together? Where? No one left alive?"
Wei Qingping: "They should all be dead. Their bodies all spontaneously combusted into piles of ashes. I also took away a dagger." As he said that, he took out the dagger from his bag and handed it over.
Miosimo: "It's from a cult indeed. Put it on the ground, I'll 'purify' it."
Wei Qingping: "'Purify'? This dagger is cursed? I've been putting it in my bag with the food for days! 'Purify' me too. Thank you!"
Miosimo: "You don't need to. You have had a conversation with the gods, and the gods will naturally 'purify' you."
Wei Qingping thought about the god just now and said, "Please help me 'purify' it. It's a convenient thing anyway."
Miosimo didn't say anything else. Instead, he immediately carved a strange pattern around the dagger on the ground, and then he muttered something. Wei Qingping didn't hear it clearly, thinking: It must be something like "Heaven Spirit" or "Earth Spirit".
Six beams of light shot upward from each of the six corners of the pattern on the ground, forming a circle that gradually shrank until it completely covered the dagger in the center. After a few seconds, the light vanished. Puffs of black smoke also emerged from the dagger, slowly dissipating until it vanished.
Seeing the dagger slowly disappear, Wei Qingping had already collapsed on the ground, muttering: "Oh my God! This dagger must have been transformed by a monster. Fortunately, it didn't take my life these days." Then she said to Mioshimo, "Doctor, please help me see if I am also cursed." She treated him as a doctor.
Miosimo asked in confusion, "Why do you call me doctor? Although I'm a holy mage and know healing, I'm not a doctor." He then added, "I saw it during the examination just now, and you don't have any curse on you."
Wei Qingping said, "The identification technique can also check if there is a curse? Oh, I got it."
Miosimo continued, "When you have a curse, that 'Curse' will be displayed in your skill column. However, your skill column only shows the entry-level 'Earth Magic', which means you don't have a curse."
Wei Qingping wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Oh, I was scared to death."
Miosimo continued, "Let me explain it clearly. For the same identification skill, if you've reached the proficient level in Holy Magic, you can see basic information. If you've reached the mastery level in Holy Magic, you can see more information, including the skill's proficiency level. However, you won't be able to see what spells and techniques the target possesses. If you ever go to a dungeon, you'll need to be more careful, as you'll see even less information when identifying monsters."
Mioximo kept talking and Wei Qingping listened attentively.
