Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"Cavern Exploration Guild? Big brother, do you want to become a cave explorer?" Riko's clever little head worked very quickly, and she guessed Lin Yi's thoughts almost instantly.

"Correct."

"It's just right. The dean asked us to take the relics we dug up last time to the guild to sell them. Come on, big brother." Liko had no guard against Lin Yi at all. She held Lin Yi's hand tightly and walked towards the cave exploration guild. They were so close that it seemed as if they were good friends who had known each other for a long time.

Nado, who was standing by, felt strange after seeing Riko's reaction.

In his impression, although Rico may seem naive at times, she is actually a very smart person.

You know, although the town of Oss is a neutral zone, it is a mixed place with all kinds of people.

A smuggler who smuggles relics, a cave explorer, an information dealer, a scientific researcher.
Riko and Nado had to work hard in such an environment. If they hadn't been careful, they would have been deceived and sold to other places long ago.

So even though Lin Yi appeared to be very harmless, Nado thought that Lico shouldn't let her guard down so quickly.

Just like that, Lin Yi happily exchanged names with Li Ke on the road, and the two officially knew each other from then on.

Soon after, they arrived in front of a three-story building.

Li Ke happily pushed open the door and ran towards a beautiful 18-year-old girl in front of the counter, shouting happily, "Ms. Alisa."

"It's Xiao Li Ke. Why are you here to sell things again today?"

After seeing Rico, Arisa smiled gently and reached out to touch Rico's head.

She is a staff member of the Cave Explorers Guild who is responsible for collecting and registering relics, and she is already an acquaintance of Riko.

Riko quickly took off the backpack from her back and placed it carefully on the counter.

In the backpack are a dozen of the fourth-level relics, Sun Jades, that Riko and her friends dug out from a layer of the Abyss. In this world, energy is not supplied by traditional chemical energy such as coal, but by Sun Jades dug out from the Abyss.

For example, the sun jades in Riko's backpack, their value cannot be underestimated. Added together, they can at least support a small town for a long time.

"Seventeen sun jades, right? Someone will deliver the reward tomorrow." Alyssa carefully counted the sun jades in Rico's backpack, then gently placed Rico's backpack under the counter.

In such a mixed place, Alyssa naturally would not give the money directly to Riko.

She was well aware of the dangers here. If she let the two children take the gold coins home, it would be like a fat sheep walking into a pack of wolves.

Riko and Nado are just children, and they don't have enough ability to protect themselves and their money.

You know, most of the cave explorers are people with very abnormal mental states.

According to Alyssa, the ratio of good people to bad people in the cave exploration community is about 30% to 70%.

Those cave explorers who have been exploring the Abyss for a long time have experienced countless hardships and horrific scenes, and their spirits are easily affected and become abnormal.

Alyssa didn't want anything to happen to Rico and Nado because of her momentary negligence.

"By the way, Sister Alyssa, Brother Lin Yi said he wanted to become a cave explorer, so it's a good opportunity for you to help him register." Liko excitedly pulled Lin Yi's arm and came to the front of the counter.

After seeing Lin Yi, Alyssa took out a registration form from the counter.

"Ten gold coins, as well as name, background, and age." Following Alyssa's instructions, Lin Yi filled out the form.

After filling out the form, Alyssa took out a hand gripper from the drawer of the counter and handed it to Lin Yi.

This gripper may look ordinary, but it is actually a fourth-level relic and an important tool used by the Cave Exploration Guild to screen people.

If one cannot even hold this gripper, then the Cave Exploration Guild will naturally refuse to allow the person to become a cave explorer as he or she has failed the test.

Of course, if someone enters the Abyss without permission and dies, the Cave Exploration Guild will naturally not be responsible for it.

Lin Yi took the dynamometer calmly and squeezed it casually.

The next second, in Alyssa’s eyes, Lin Yi held the dynamometer tightly together.

"But...it's okay. Please wait a moment." Alyssa widened her eyes and looked at the gripper in Lin Yi's hand. She was completely dumbfounded.

It was the first time she had seen someone put the gripper together so easily.

Most of the people who came here for testing in the past were unable to move the gripper at all. Some people even tried their best but could only make the gripper move slightly.

Alyssa hurried up to the second floor, and after a while, Alyssa brought someone to Lin Yi.

"Hello, Bell Alger."

"Lin Yi."

"It's like this. I heard from Alyssa that Mr. Lin's grip strength is perfect. Can you do it again?" The flute hanging around Bell Alger's neck had a moon-shaped pattern on it, which meant that he had reached the moon flute level.

Yue Di is the equivalent of a teacher among cave explorers, and can be said to be the backbone of cave explorers.

As for the Black Flute and the White Flute, the number of them is too small, so they rarely appear in the Cave Explorers Guild. Most of the cave explorers here are still at the Moon Flute and Cang Flute level.

Lin Yi naturally didn't know whether it was true or not. He calmly picked up the gripper on the table and gripped it again in front of Bell Alger.

"Well, it's obvious that the ordinary level identification method is no longer effective for you. In this case, please follow me to the back of the guild." Bell Alger took the gripper from Lin Yi, then exerted a little force and pinched it together.

After confirming that there was no problem with the gripper, he slightly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Yi, indicating that Lin Yi should follow him.

As for Rico and Nado, they naturally followed closely behind Lin Yi.

Alisa lowered her voice and whispered to Riko and Nado not to run around.

Riko and Nado nodded obediently, their eyes full of excitement and curiosity.

You have to know that they were not qualified to enter the training ground behind the Cave Explorers Guild in the past. This time it was entirely thanks to Lin Yi.

Arriving at the back door, Lin Yi looked up and saw an extremely large square in the Cave Explorers Guild.

On the square, there are a large number of props used for training, as well as many dummies for fighting.

These props come in a wide variety, including heavy dumbbells, sturdy wooden stakes, and various strange-shaped training equipment.

"In the next test, I will be your opponent, sir." Bell Alger turned around and looked at Lin Yi.

As a Moon Flute Cave Explorer, Bell Alger is fully confident in his own combat capabilities.

In other words, cave explorers in Oss have a natural sense of superiority over people from other countries.

Many cave explorers from other countries are self-taught, and the gap between the two sides in experience and combat effectiveness is very obvious.

"With weapons?"

"Feel free to use it if you want. I'll just use my bare hands." Bell Alger smiled easily.

According to his past experience, most of the people who come here are only at Cang Di's level, and there are very few who are at Yue Di's level.

Looking at Bell Alger's confident look, Lin Yi pushed his monocle and checked Bell Alger's information.

……

After reading Bell Alger's information, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh, realizing that he had been overthinking.

Lin Yi originally thought that Bell Alger's overall attributes had reached 80 points, but he did not expect that only a few had reached 70 points.

After recalling the plot, Lin Yi discovered that the combat effectiveness of the cave explorers was indeed far inferior to that of the abyss creatures.

Apart from the five monster-like white flutes, only the black flute's combat power is barely acceptable.

In this light, it is normal for Yue Di to have such combat power.

"Are you ready?" Bell Alger stretched his body, stretched his legs, and reminded Lin Yi.

Lin Yi just stood there quietly, looking completely defenseless.

"bring it on."

Seeing Lin Yi's attitude, Bell Alger couldn't help but frown.

In his opinion, entering the Abyss with such an unprepared mentality would sooner or later lead to trouble.

Bell Alger leaned forward slightly, put his center of gravity on his front foot, and touched the ground with the toes of his back foot, ready to exert force.

Then, Bell Alger pushed the ground hard with his back feet, and at the same time, he jumped up and swung his arms upward.

In the air, Bell Alger kicked his hind leg forward, straightened his knee and instep, preparing to kick Lin Yi away.

Lin Yi never expected that Bell Alger would look down on him so much. You know, it is a taboo to have both feet off the ground at the same time in a battle.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi kicked out fiercely, and the kick hit Bell Alger's lower abdomen exactly.

The huge impact force caused Bell Alger to lose his balance instantly, and he flew out like a kite with a broken string.

With a dull "bang", Bell Alger knocked away three training dummies.

The dummies fell to the ground under the huge impact, and their parts were scattered all over the ground.

Then, Bell Alger slammed hard into the hard wall, and his body slowly slid down the wall. His originally confident face was now filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Mr. Bell Alger, are you okay?"

When Elsa saw this, she quickly stepped forward and helped Bell Alger up from the ground.

Bell Alger frowned slightly and slowly lifted up his clothes, only to see a dark blue footprint on his abdomen.

Lin Yi had actually stopped. Otherwise, with Lin Yi's current strength of 90 points and his mastery of close combat, one kick from him would have directly exploded Bell Alger's upper body.

"I'm sorry, it seems that I underestimated you. I can't measure your level for now. I will report it to the guild later, and then there will be a special black flute to conduct the test." With that kick just now, Bell Alger felt as if a heavy hammer had hit him hard.

It seems that Lin Yi's fighting ability has far exceeded the scope of Moon Flute. Bell Alger knows that he is powerless and can only request some Black Flute for testing.

"Sure. I'll be traveling around Oss in the near future. Just send someone to notify me when the time comes."

Naturally, Lin Yi had no objection to this. In fact, Lin Yi didn't really care about the cave exploration level. He was mainly focused on the relic information of the cave exploration guild.

You know, there are quite a few good things among the relics of this world.

For example, the special relic [Life-extending wine], as the name suggests, can greatly extend a person's lifespan after drinking this wine.

The first-level relic [Thousand Man Wedge], one Thousand Man Wedge is equivalent to the strength of 1000 people, and can also prolong one's lifespan.

After leaving the guild, Lin Yi asked Riko and Nado what they wanted. Anyway, gold coins were like stones to Lin Yi.

In so many worlds, Lin Yi has already collected countless gold coins. Even buying the entire town of Os is not impossible for Lin Yi.

However, Lin Yi couldn't guarantee how strong the high-end combat power in this world was, so it was better to keep a low profile.

Without even thinking, Liko's eyes sparkled with excitement as she directly said what she wanted most: "I want a brand new cave exploration outfit!"

As for Nadeau, he was in a dilemma at the moment.

Naddo really wanted some cave exploring equipment, but he also wanted to buy some toys. After all, the toys in the orphanage were all handmade wood carvings made by people out of boredom, which certainly could not be compared with normal toys.

Seeing that Nado was still struggling, Lin Yi simply took the two of them directly to the cave exploring equipment store and bought them two sets of exclusive equipment for cave explorers.

Including fire-resistant and quick-drying clothing, headlamps that use solar jade as energy, and special nylon ropes and backpacks.

The two sets of equipment cost Lin Yi about ten gold coins, mainly because some of the medicines given to the two were very expensive, such as insect repellent grass that could be burned in the wild, and monster feces that could mask one's own breath.

Most of the gold coins are used to purchase these special items, while clothes and equipment together cost very little.

"I'm sorry to have spent so much money, Brother Lin." Nado looked at the brand new cave exploration suit on his body and was extremely grateful to Lin Yi.

"It's okay, it's just a few dollars. Where is your home? I'll take you back."

Lin Yi shook his head and wanted to go to the orphanage to check if Liko had met Reg yet.

Under the guidance of Rico and Nado, Lin Yi followed them to the Belchero Orphanage where they were.

The Berchero Orphanage is a semi-official orphanage. The orphans adopted here will engage in cave exploration to earn income for the orphanage.

At the same time, the orphanage also serves as a school, where orphans learn cultural subjects and cave exploration knowledge, and children of different ages attend classes in the same classroom.

It was also a disguised way of teaching them some knowledge needed for survival.

Before Rico and Nado opened the door, Lin Yi vaguely heard a middle-aged woman scolding other people inside.

Rico and Nado panicked when they heard this, not knowing whether they should open the door.

At this time, the people inside seemed to hear the noise outside, so they opened the door.

"Riko, Nado, what are you two wearing?"

When the director of the orphanage saw the clothes on the two guys, his first reaction was that these two guys might have secretly taken out the relics that everyone had dug up before, sold them and bought new clothes.

"Hello, I bought the clothes these two children are wearing. They helped me a little, it's just a small token of my appreciation."

After Lin Yi spoke, the dean noticed that there was another person not far away.

When he saw someone coming, the dean stopped the words of scolding and gave Riko and Nado a look, telling them to go in quickly.

"I'm sorry to have cost you so much money. If you don't mind, please come in and sit for a while."

The dean bowed to Lin Yi and then invited him into the orphanage.

After entering the orphanage, Lin Yi could only say that the environment here was even more dilapidated than he had imagined.

Many bricks and tiles in the room have fallen off. Although the floor and walls are wiped very clean, they still cannot hide the traces of time.

In the room, there was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old teaching other children in the orphanage.

After seeing Riko and Nado coming back wearing new clothes, the orphans couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.

"Be quiet."

As the dean spoke, the children who were discussing in low voices instantly shut up.

In this orphanage, the orphans are most afraid of the director, including Riko and Nado. (End of this chapter)
