It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

However, you soon had a new opportunity.

While you were gathering herbs in the mountains, you suddenly discovered some unusual tracks, suggesting the presence of some powerful wild beast.

After searching carefully, you confirmed one thing.

There's probably a powerful monster lurking on the mountain!

【Your choice:】

[1. Choose to save your life, immediately descend the mountain, and inform the market manager of this news. (You will gain the manager's favor.)]

2. Continue searching for clues, tracking the monster's whereabouts, and attempting to kill it. (You may encounter danger as a result.)

[3. Personal intervention, remaining attempts: three.]

Choose 2!

Come all come!

After a moment's thought, you decided to continue the investigation.

Powerful demonic beasts rarely get this close to a city.

Those that are slightly weaker are only marginally stronger than ferocious beasts.

As long as you're careful, you should have no problem staying alive.

The mountains surrounding the capital are not very large.

There are only a few places where demonic beasts can hide. In the past six months, you've already thoroughly explored the entire mountain.

However, this time, it seems you miscalculated.

You searched the mountain for a long time, but not only did you not see any trace of the monster, you also completely lost track of it.

[This guy vanished as if into thin air, disappearing without a trace.]

Just as you were about to leave, you suddenly discovered a cave entrance you had never seen before.

【Your choice:】

1. Enter through the cave entrance. (You may encounter unknown threats.)

2. Note down the location and prepare to return (you might miss something).

[3. Personal intervention, remaining attempts: three.]

Choose 1!

After briefly surveying the cave interior, you carefully made your way inside, following the path from the entrance.

[Shortly after entering, a pungent odor filled the air, seemingly the urine of a wild animal.]

Without much hesitation, you continued deeper into the cave. By the light of your tinderbox, you carefully observed your surroundings.

The entire cave doesn't look like it was formed naturally; it looks more like it was dug out by something.

Looking at the marks of soil, you could even deduce that the hole was dug not long ago.

You seemed to have guessed something, and looking at the pitch-black road ahead, you lost the courage to continue forward.

You lie down on the ground and listen carefully for any sounds.

You seem to hear many footsteps; the vibrations don't feel like those of humans, but more like those of wild beasts.

If I'm not mistaken, there are probably a large number of ferocious beasts deep within this cave.

The market is just down the mountain; once these guys rush out, the entire market will be the first to be hit.

Given the market's defensive capabilities, let alone a group of wild beasts, even a few would be difficult to withstand.

You know you can't go any further, but if you don't bring back some evidence, no one in the market will believe what you say.

You are in a dilemma.

Just when you were still hesitating, you finally found evidence that proved the existence of these beasts.

Inside the cave, you collected a considerable amount of animal hair and their excrement.

You quickly descended the mountain with these items, and by the time you reached the market, it was already past midnight.

Without hesitation, you knocked on the market manager's door.

However, when you presented him with the so-called evidence, he didn't believe you.

You tried to continue persuading them, but they pushed you out without explanation.

You have no other choice but to think of other ways to attract attention.

The network of contacts you've built up over the past six months is finally paying off.

News of the ferocious beast hiding in the mountains quickly spread throughout the entire market.

At your suggestion, the shops in the market began to take action against the market's management.

All you ask for is safety; until this condition is met, you will not supply the market with any goods.

Under your pressure, the management finally agreed to conduct a search in the mountains.

No one expected that once they went into the mountains, they wouldn't return for two days.

For a moment, the other people inside the market began to panic.

The entire mountain range isn't very large; two days should be enough to locate the location you mentioned.

Sensing something was amiss, you immediately joined forces with others to set up defensive structures within the market.

At the same time, send influential people to the capital to request assistance from the family of the administrator.

At first, some people inside the market thought you were exaggerating.

But when night fell and the wild beasts charged down the mountain, everyone here was grateful for your decision.

The obstacles you set up during the day didn't hold back these monsters for long.

But it was precisely these obstacles that bought you the most crucial time to survive.

The support from your family finally arrived at the market just as you were about to suffer casualties.

[A carriage also arrived at the same time.]

There weren't many people who came, but each one of them exuded a strong aura of killing intent.

Those enormous demonic beasts couldn't even last a single exchange against the opponent.

You watched these people's retreating figures with some shock.

There are people practicing martial arts in the market. You may have learned a few moves, but compared to these people, what you've learned isn't even worth mentioning.

You've developed a strong curiosity about this.

The clan's men swiftly and decisively slaughtered all the demonic beasts.

These people stood solemnly in two rows, and a young girl, about your age, stepped down from the carriage.

The other woman had bright eyes and white teeth, skin as white as snow, and every gesture she made exuded the air of a well-bred young lady.

The other person only glanced at you in the crowd before fixing their gaze on you.

[You subconsciously want to hide behind others.]

[To your surprise, the martial artist closest to you simply pulled you out of the crowd.]

"You're the one who was the first to discover these monsters?"

The girl's voice was as melodious as a lark's when she spoke.

"The young lady is asking you a question, speak up!" the martial artist in front of Han Tao urged.

"It's me." Han Tao nodded subconsciously.

“Well done. Without you, the entire market would have been destroyed. Whatever reward you need, just ask. The Chai family will not treat you unfairly.”

The tsunami that struck six months ago had a wide-ranging impact.

The cause of that tsunami was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

But ordinary people have no way of knowing about such things.

Only those who have had contact with deities can know a little about it.

Similarly, the monsters that originally lived near the sea were forced to move inland by the tsunami.

This group of monsters must have arrived outside the market for a similar reason.

"I want to... learn martial arts."

"Practicing martial arts?" Chai Yashi repeated softly, "To practice martial arts, you need talent. In a moment, we can test your talent. If you don't have enough talent, I can arrange for you to do something else. I heard you've done quite a few interesting things in this market."

Chai Yashi stared intently at Han Tao, the most prestigious person in the market besides the administrators who had come to the city to seek help.

The one directing the others to set up obstacles and hold their ground while waiting for reinforcements was none other than Han Tao, who was not very old!

As far as she knew, this person had only been coming to the market for six months.

At the very beginning, the other party didn't understand anything.

"To make a living by all means."

The talent test is more difficult than you might imagine.

[Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you can choose any martial artist who comes. You must be able to dodge three of their moves before you can practice.]

You carefully observed the surroundings before choosing your opponent.

For the first half of an incense stick's time, you were doing your best to dodge.

But you'll soon find that simply hiding is completely ineffective.

So, you changed your strategy.

[Chai Yashi had been observing you. When you chose to switch from defense to offense, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.]

You barely passed the test at the last minute.

This result seems to have shocked others.

They never imagined that you would actually pass the so-called test.
