Chapter 266 Magic is the embodiment of imagination

[Infrastructure construction (first year) completed]

When the year was up, Guan Yi's consciousness retreated from the Naruto world back to the annihilated Frilian world. He still stood in the beautiful maple forest, the surrounding scenery unchanged in the slightest.

Guan Yi was already used to the disparity between the two worlds. She shook her head and walked towards the village in the distance where smoke was still rising from the chimneys.

"One gold coin?"

The currency system in the world of Frilian is mainly composed of gold, silver, and copper, with some special currencies as well. The exchange rate between gold, silver, and copper coins is 100. Ten copper coins can buy a loaf of bread, while one gold coin, if used frugally, is enough for an average person's expenses for a year.

While it may seem much smaller than 100,000 yen, in the world of Frilian, earning a single gold coin is probably much more difficult than earning 100,000 yen.

Take it slow. First, we need to find a place to settle down and do some basic training.

After observing outside the village for a while and confirming that most of the villagers walking on the road were smiling and full of energy, Guan Yi walked over and met an elderly couple at the village entrance.

"Oh, a new face."

"Young man, are you an adventurer? Welcome to Emerald Forest Village. Would you like some supplies?"

Most ordinary people in the world of Frilian have a natural affinity for adventurers. After all, adventurers fight against demons and maintain peace, and most adventurers are kind-hearted and willing to do what they can in the villages they pass by.

'Green Forest Village, a small village not mentioned in the guides, is it the starting area for new players?'

Even if a secret realm is conquered a hundred times, it is not surprising that the initial location to which the explorer is teleported when entering will still include a few places that the explorer has never been before.

Looking at the old man carrying water buckets and the old woman carrying a basket ahead, Guan Yi smiled kindly and said frankly, "I'm not an adventurer, just a traveler who has wandered here. To be honest, I've already spent most of my travel expenses in the last town, and I haven't even had breakfast. Grandpa and Grandma, is there any work to do in our village? I may not be good at much else, but I do have some strength."

"Oh, is that so?" The old woman was taken aback, and quickly took a dry bread from the basket: "You must be hungry, eat up."

"Uh, thank you, thank you."

Guan Yi didn't stand on ceremony and took the bread from this world with both hands to taste it—it tasted pretty good, soft and fluffy, unlike the dry and hard bread described in many Western fantasy novels.

He swallowed the bread in a few bites, and the elderly couple looked at Guan Yi with even more affection.

Guan Yi then stepped forward to take the carrying pole from the old man's shoulder: "Judging from your appearance, Grandpa and Grandma are going to water the fields, right? Let me do it."

"Oh, no need, it's just a loaf of bread... Carrying water isn't as simple as it looks..."

People who have never farmed can hardly imagine that carrying water is a skill. Young people with only brute strength can only carry water to the fields by hand, bucket by bucket, and cannot use a carrying pole or anything like that.

The old man tried to refuse, but Guan Yi took the carrying pole. Once the pole was on Guan Yi's shoulder, the elderly couple realized the transition was incredibly smooth; the water in the bucket barely stirred.

"Oh, so you're a child who's done farm work."

"Haha, then we won't stand on ceremony. Let's stay for lunch at your place too."

Guan Yi laughed and said, "Then I'll shamelessly try Grandma's cooking."

"Hehehe..."

While carrying water and accompanying the elderly couple up the mountain to the farmland, Guan Yi learned about the basic situation of Cuilin Village.

The village is small, with only a little over a hundred households, but it has all the necessary amenities.

There are blacksmith shops, taverns, and inns that cater to occasional passing adventurers.

If you travel about ten miles southwest, you will come to a large town called Yanta Town. Yanta Town and Cuilin Village both belong to Baiyin County.

Upon hearing the name Silver County, Guan Yi was able to find the corresponding information in the exploration data. This was a county belonging to the Southern Kingdoms and the Lakeside Duchy, famous for its large silver mine. During the 10-year exploration period, demons appeared many times. Although there were no key secret runes produced, it was a good choice for accumulating wealth.

This is a good location.

The red maple leaves, golden rice paddies, and distant green mountains create a picturesque scene; if this were in modern society, it would probably have become a tourist attraction long ago.

“I started from Bradyshire and have been traveling on and off for almost two years.”

Before the elderly couple could ask, Guan Yi spoke up, "Cuilin Village is so beautiful! I'd like to rest here for a while. Are there any empty houses for rent in the village? Of course, before that, I need to go and earn some money." "Brady County? That's so far! Did you come all the way here? Young people these days are really something." The two elderly people exchanged a glance, and the old woman smiled, "Finding a place to stay is easy. Young people are willing to go to the county to make their way in the world. There are quite a few empty houses in the village. You can stay anywhere, as long as you keep the house clean. It's free."

If you want to find work, you'll have to look in Yanta Town. The villages are mostly farm work, and the inns and taverns seem to have enough people. But staying in the village means a two-hour round trip every day.

"Walking is what I'm least afraid of."

"Hehehe, that's true."

Soon they arrived at the two elderly people's field. Guan Yi watered the field under their guidance and then walked back and forth three more times, working up a light sweat.

"You've been a great help. You've finished the work that would normally take us a whole day in just one morning. You must eat a lot at noon, no, let's eat at home tonight too. Wife, bring out the cured meat."

And so, Guan Yi spent a peaceful first day exploring the secret realm in Cuilin Village, and with the warm hospitality of the elderly couple, he settled into the old house in the village that had been empty for several years.

In the stillness of the night, I sit quietly on my bed.

Guan Yi closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, and easily meditated out his first wisp of magic power, becoming a magician who could not yet use any magic.

"I need a staff."

The purpose of a staff is to guide magic to be released in a specific way. Although you can cast spells without a staff as long as your magic control is high enough, the staff's auxiliary function is crucial when your magic power is weak.

After a night of meditation, Guan Yi had breakfast at the old couple's house and then used a long wooden stick to carve out a hiking stick before setting off for Yanta Town.

When he reached a desolate place, he waved his hiking stick and touched the stems of the waist-high weeds. A burning force melted the weeds.

A real staff is not so easy to make. For example, according to game data, an excellent staff may have a casting efficiency increase of 100%, while this 'beginner staff' can only increase it by 10%.

"Let's just make do with this for now."

"Squeaky-"

Just then, in a tree not far away, a squirrel seemed to sense the danger emanating from Guan Yi and let out a frightened squeak. Guan Yi glanced over and saw the furry little figure clinging to the tree with both hands, peeking out half its face to look at Guan Yi.

"If you hadn't called out, I wouldn't have even noticed you. Oh, are you hurt? No wonder you kept calling out."

After taking a closer look, Guan Yi noticed that the squirrel's right hind leg was stained red with blood. He couldn't tell whether it had been scratched by a sharp branch or torn by the claws of some predator.

After thinking for a moment, Guan Yi stretched out her right hand, enveloped the meager magical power within her palm, and tried her best to control it to release a soft glow.

Amidst the squirrel's terrified screams, Guan Yi walked over, climbed up the tree in two swift movements, and grabbed the squirrel with its injured legs.

A right hand, enveloped in gentle magic, rested on the squirrel's injured right hind leg, and a tingling sensation made the squirrel's cries become more rapid.

But as the tingling sensation appeared, the injury on the squirrel's right leg healed at a visible speed until only a faint mark remained!

As soon as Guan Yi let go, the rather dim-witted little squirrel darted away and disappeared in a flash.

Guan Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

In the world of the Buried Frilian, magic is the product of imagination. Magicians cannot do things they cannot imagine, but from a certain perspective, as long as they can imagine it, magicians are capable of accomplishing it!

For Guan Yi, who had already mastered the Healing Palm Technique in the Naruto world, healing magic that could 'accelerate cell differentiation and wound healing' was something that was very easy to 'imagine'.

and also……

Boom!
When Guan Yi jumped back to the ground, the sound was far louder than what one would expect from someone of his normal weight falling, and the ground was shaken open with a shallow crack!

Superhuman strength? No problem.

During the ten months that Guan Yi kept Tsunade in Konoha, he thoroughly mastered all of her skills except for Summoning Jutsu. Now, Guan Yi is only a matter of proficiency compared to Tsunade!
"Oh, there's also the difference in physical strength."

My legs went numb from the shaking.

It's okay, we have hiking poles.

Leaning on her hiking stick, Guan Yi began walking step by step toward Yanta Town again.
