Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 12 Noelle

It was late at night, but the streets of Mond were still bustling.

Catherine stood quietly and answered patiently:

“There are often monsters appearing in the wild, and the investigators in the association collect relevant information every day, and they are unable to clear them all.

“Only those monsters that the association judges to be a threat to the residents will be commissioned to be cleared by adventurers.

"So we get a lot of requests to clear monsters."

Li Qiuzhi became slightly excited when he heard this. It seemed that he would never be short of monsters to fight in the future.

“But as a new adventurer, I don’t recommend you take on dangerous commissions alone.” Catherine said worriedly and helplessly.

She had seen too many rookie adventurers who overestimated their own strength and returned in a shabby state.

Li Qiuzhi certainly knew that his current strength was only enough to deal with ordinary monsters that were alone.

Generally speaking, the threat to residents is likely not just one slime or hillbilly or something like that, the number may not be small.

It would be great if someone could hold the monster back so that he, the shooter, could deal damage from the back.

Li Qiuzhi thought whimsically.

Wait! It seems that there is a solution.

He thought of the most indispensable character in the team when the game was first launched, the one who simply changed the way the game was played, the almighty maid - Noelle!

Well known.

Noelle is a kind girl who is even more warm-hearted than Amber. In Mondstadt, she would be eager to complete any trivial matters for you.

It seems like helping others is her job.

At the same time, as the owner of the Rock Elemental God's Eye, Noelle's strongest point is her excellent defense. She is invincible when she opens the shield. If she can get her help, why should Li Qiuzhi worry about not having experience points?
Now that it was getting late and all the questions had been asked, Li Qiuzhi decided to go back first.

He would go to Noelle tomorrow to see if she had time. Given her personality, she would definitely be happy to help him. Then he would go to the Adventurer's Guild to take on the commission to clear out the monsters.

Although doing so may seem like taking advantage of Noelle, it is also because of the talent "Entangled Affection". If you want to make use of it, you can only get to know more girls.

Going to Noelle for help was also to provide an opportunity to get to know each other.

Back in the small temporary residence at the shelter, Li Qiuzhi thought about several things that needed to be done recently, including moving out of the shelter. He needed to wait for news from Amber.

Then, we will invite Noelle to form a team to complete the commission to clear monsters and gain experience points. This is the most important thing and we will start taking action tomorrow.

As for the matter of getting back at the treasure-stealing gang, there is no need to rush for the time being. After all, the strength is not yet up to par, and one cannot seek death in this way.

Li Qiuzhi lay on the bed with his eyes closed. In his dream, the clock seemed to be moved, ticking away, and early morning had arrived.

After waking up, Li Qiuzhi simply washed up and went to a bakery on a nearby street to buy a piece of buttered soft bread for breakfast. After eating, he practiced hunter archery as a post-meal exercise to aid digestion.

Seeing that he was getting a little closer to Lv.3, Li Qiuzhi nodded with satisfaction.

It's almost time for Li Qiuzhi to go and invite Noelle. She should be in the Knights now, right? As a maid, she probably has to clean the floor or something, so I'll go check it out first.

As for shouting Noel's name to the sky, it was impossible to use the "Noel Summoning Technique" because he still had some dignity.

After walking for a long time, we arrived at the Knights of Favonius.

I greeted the two Knights of Favonius at the door and asked if Noelle was there, but was told that she had gone to help Miss Margaret, the owner of the Cat's Tail Tavern, find her lost cat.

Hiss~ What bad luck. But he thought of another idea. Since Noel had gone to look for the cat, why not just go to the Cat's Tail Tavern and wait there? After Noel found the cat, he would always be there.

This was indeed a good idea. Before leaving the Knights, Li Qiuzhi went to the library and borrowed two books, "West Wind Swordsmanship·Basics" and "West Wind Archery·Basics", from last night.

These two books are enough for now, and it shouldn’t take long to get started.

When registering, Li Qiuzhi finally met the librarian Lisa. She was just as she had imagined, an elegant and intellectual lady.

But I look lazy and uninterested so early in the morning. Is it really okay to work in this state?
Li Qiuzhi complained silently in his heart.

Not daring to disturb her too much, Li Qiuzhi left the Knights after borrowing the book and headed towards the Cat's Tail Tavern, just in case he missed Noel.

There were not many people in the Cat's Tail Tavern in the morning, so Li Qiuzhi found a seat at the open-air tables outside the tavern.

In order not to appear so embarrassed, he ordered a non-alcoholic juice, which cost more than 500 molas.

While waiting for Noelle, he opened "The Fundamentals of West Wind Archery" and started reading. Compared to learning swordsmanship from scratch, it was obviously easier for him to get started with archery since he had already learned hunter archery.

West Wind Archery: Fundamentals is very different from the Hunter Archery that Li Qiuzhi learned. It seems to have many standards and systems, but it is also very basic and does not have the Hunter Archery's advantages of secrecy and flexibility.

But precisely because of the foundation, it is easier to get started and it is also suitable for Li Qiuzhi to make up for his lack of basic knowledge.

After all, he had only studied hunter archery with Duraf for more than a month. He did not have a systematic and standardized learning of the basics of archery. Without a good foundation, the hunter archery skills always felt not so smooth to use.

I don't know how much time has passed. Li Qiuzhi has read the thin book several times and feels that he has memorized the key points of the book. He just needs to practice to get started.

This is also the benefit of knowing hunter archery. Learning the more basic and simple "West Wind Archery: Fundamentals" gives me a sense of looking down from a high vantage point.

Suddenly, a louder sound of footsteps slowly approached.

Li Qiuzhi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Noelle, wearing a maid-style armor that gave people a sense of security, walking towards the Cat's Tail Tavern from the fountain above. She was holding a black cat in her arms and stroking the kitten's head with her right hand wearing a white metal glove.

From the black cat's calm gaze, Li Qiuzhi felt a sense of despair.

I almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

When Noelle approached, Li Qiuzhi took a deep breath, stood up and took the initiative to greet her and said:
"Hello, Miss Noelle. I have something I would like to ask for your help."

"Eh? Do you know me?"

Noelle, who was holding the black kitten, was confused at first, but when she heard Li Qiuzhi's next words, her face turned red with embarrassment and she waved her hands repeatedly:

"Please, request or something, there's no need to be so serious. As long as someone needs it, helping is what I should do."

"Ah!" Before Li Qiuzhi could answer, Noel suddenly shouted in surprise.

The cat that had just been found and caught with great difficulty jumped down because his hand loosened. Just as it was about to continue running away, Li Qiuzhi quickly grabbed it.

"Meow meow meow!"

The black cat was dancing its limbs madly in the air.

“Phew, luckily I didn’t run away.” Noel patted his chest with a relaxed expression.

Miss Margaret, the owner of the Cat's Tail Tavern, heard the cat's cry and hurried out. She took the black cat from Li Qiuzhi's hands, rubbed her face against the black cat affectionately, and said:

"Great, little prince, you're finally back. You don't know how worried I was after running so far away."

Noelle is indeed such a passionate person! (Readers are welcome to share comments~)
