Reincarnated as a bamboo rat, it begins its extreme survival struggle.

To be honest, the bards' guild's backyard is smaller than the warriors' guild's public bathhouse.

"The beginner's guide is divided into three parts: the inscription of magic, the teaching of basic poetry, and the use of simple musical instruments."

The receptionist was teaching about magic engraving today. As a senior with teaching experience, he was much more professional than the half-baked bard Edu met at the camp.

He guided Edu step-by-step through the process of engraving magic, starting from the basics and working backwards.

At the same time, he taught many details and suggested that Edu directly inscribe the widely circulated "Song of Spring" when inscribing the magical script.

"Song of Spring" contains more than 260 characters, which is almost the limit that a normal human body can bear.

This song is peaceful and contains many images that only exist in spring. It is recognized as a poem that is relatively easy to record and can acquire a lot of magic.

The bard profession, which has been passed down for many years in this world, has perfected the method of inscribing magic to an astonishing degree.

Almost all bards use this magical method of inscription.

With the system's guidance, Edu was able to inscribe magical characters at a speed that allowed him to inscribe a normal character every thirteen minutes.

This surprised the receptionist who was guiding him, who said that Edu was very talented and that if he worked hard, he could burn "Spring Song" within a month.

Bell scoffed at his estimate, saying he could max out the progress bar in a week.

The afternoon's guidance session lasted approximately two hours. After the guidance session, the receptionist prepared to leave work.

Although the guild notice board states that working hours are from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, the bards on duty here basically don't follow the guild rules and just come to wander around symbolically.

"Go home and practice hard. If you don't understand anything, come back and ask me tomorrow afternoon. I won't be here this morning; I'm going to the Weavers' Guild to meet up with someone."

The receptionist was extremely eager to leave work. He ran off the moment he stepped out the door, just like a typical working man, as if he wanted to take a paid dump during his entire workday.

He only showed enthusiasm when he was teaching Edu.

"It's no wonder the Bards' Guild has declined."

Although Bell knew in his heart that this situation was mostly due to the decline of the Bards' Guild, which produced only a few new members on average each year.

However, objectively speaking, from an outsider's perspective, the experience of the Bards' Guild in guiding newcomers is very poor.

Putting aside the quality of teaching, just considering the fact that the Bards' Guild's front desk reception area doesn't even allow female staff to stay for extended periods, Bell simply doesn't approve of them.

"Speaking of which, why are there so many more people gathered in the square at this time of year?"

The Bards' Guild closes at 4 PM, but the professional guild square is still bustling with people, even more so than before.

People of all kinds crowded the square, discussing the newly appeared giant billboard.

Edu and Bale leaned over

Upon inspection, they discovered that the newly appeared notice was something they were quite familiar with.

'Large-scale disturbances have occurred within the bamboo forest, a low-level danger zone, suspected to be a precursor to the emergence of ancient ruins.'

The Bloodhand Mercenary Group has taken over the Bamboo Forest and announced that it will not participate in the development of the Bamboo Forest ruins.

Two pieces of information: one is that an adventure team has found traces of ruins in the bamboo forest, and many adventure teams are preparing to enter the bamboo forest to try to excavate the ruins, hoping to get a share of the spoils as soon as the ruins are discovered.

The second thing is that after the Blood Hand Mercenary Group swallowed up the Bamboo Sea business of the Long River Adventure Group, they surprisingly did not choose the troublesome matter of entering the Bamboo Sea Ruins, but publicly announced that their Blood Hand Mercenary Group welcomes any adventure group to enter the Bamboo Sea.

Regardless of what the adventurers in the square were discussing, Edu and Bell had strange expressions when they saw the news.

Edu just instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Of course, many people felt that something was wrong, but they still decided to try their luck in the bamboo forest.

Anyway, it's a low-level dangerous place with a relatively low level of danger. If we don't gain anything, we can just go hunt monsters instead, so it won't be a wasted trip.

"Ugh... If there really were ruins, it would never have been your turn. There's that ridiculously strong adventure group deep in the bamboo forest. If there were really ruins, they would definitely be the first to discover them."

Squinting, Bell recalled his experience of leaving the bamboo forest and realized that no one had ever mentioned the group of humans he had first encountered.

If Edu didn't know, Bell would find it understandable, after all, he was just a kid.

But no one has mentioned that such a powerful person entered the bamboo forest, which is somewhat unusual.

"There's something strange about this matter. If there are any relics, it's beyond our current understanding."

Commanding Edu to leave the area where adventurers gathered, Bell wanted to buy some materials he had seen at the market that day; he was preparing to start something.

Along the way, Bell saw many adventurers gathered together, some were small adventure groups, and some were temporary teams preparing to try their luck in the bamboo forest.

At first glance, all those ready to set off immediately were small groups of young people with average strength and few ties.

Their advantage over medium and large-sized adventure groups is their ability to set off immediately.

In the history of Cangxing City, there have been lucky individuals who, by acting decisively, snatched opportunities before large adventure groups and eventually became powerful figures in their own right.

People who are making a decisive move now are basically all in this mindset.

Larger and medium-sized adventure groups are much more rational than them, choosing to remain still and observe first. It will probably be several days before these forces set off.

"Forget about them, just focus on shopping!"

Back on the market street, there were far fewer people in the afternoon, but there were still quite a few bulky items.

"Give me ten pounds of this wool."

"Get some monster leather; I feel it's similar to the material of the magic scrolls I saw before."

"And this too, the timber needs to be prepared!"

"Is that a magic potion? But it looks very expensive."

……

Commanding Edu to go on a shopping spree at the market, Bell ruthlessly spent two of Edu's gold coins, giving Edu's wallet a small cut.

Edu, that young man, truly trusts Bale. When Bale asks him to spend money, he doesn't hesitate at all.

He knew that he wouldn't have so much money without Bell, so when Bell said he needed money, he didn't say a word.

Chapter 64 Props Production

Carrying large bags and small packages back to his home, Edu took a short breath after entering the door and then got up to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Eating toast all the time is not only unpalatable, but also detrimental to a balanced diet.

"OK, now it's creation time."

Edu was cooking, while Bell was already fiddling with the huge pile of ingredients he had bought.

Entering the city has one advantage that is absolutely incomparable to the wilderness: you can quickly obtain various materials with money.

For example, that huge sack of wool, weighing a full ten pounds, cost only one silver coin.

You know, before, in the bamboo forest, Bear searched for a long time but couldn't find any wool. The only sheep he saw was a monster sheep with short wool all over its body and huge horns.

Getting wool in the bamboo forest is much more difficult than in the market.

The wool was added to the inventory, and the fluffy ten pounds of wool instantly turned into three small wool cubes.

When these blocks are summoned in the real world, they are about the same size as Bell's body and feel like soft wool.

"Three wool blocks and three wooden planks are enough to make a bed."

After tossing the workbench aside, Bell put wool and planks inside and directly made a block bed in his hand.

He ran up to the second floor, threw the block bed into the corner of Edu's room, and the bed that Bell had been holding instantly expanded to a size large enough for him to lie down on.

"In Minecraft, beds have two effects: one is that you can skip the night by sleeping."

Bell jumped onto the bed, curled up into a ball, and instantly felt enveloped in warmth, feeling drowsy.

For sleeping, a bed is undoubtedly a very practical tool.

"In Minecraft, the second effect of a bed is that it becomes a respawn point after death."

Getting out of bed, Bell easily used his mental energy to dispel the drowsy feeling.

In the real world, Bell is obviously not as domineering as he is in the game; after dying, he can simply press the respawn button and immediately revive in his bed.

But the fact that Bell can't regenerate doesn't mean that the bed's function as a regeneration point has disappeared; this function has undergone adaptive changes in Bell's case.

After Bell jumped out of bed, his shadow emerged again, crawled onto the bed, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep on the spot.

Under Bell's gaze, the shadow curled up on the bed slowly turned into a liquid-like state and finally sank into the cube bed.

"The shadow actually turned the bed into a landmark."

Through the connection between himself and his shadow, Bell could intuitively sense that as long as he used the shadow's ability to teleport him, the shadow would carry him through the shadow world and back to this bed.

In this way, Bell gained a skill that allows him to quickly return to base.

As for the distance limit for teleportation using shadows, and whether multiple beds can be marked as teleportation points, Bell needs to conduct multiple experiments to obtain accurate data.

"However, with the bed as a teleportation point, my desire to cause trouble is rising."

Knowing that he had a movement skill, Bell immediately had an extremely bold idea.

You see, he lived in the market, surrounded by all sorts of materials.

There are also various kinds of material storage points.

He has both an inventory, a space backpack specifically for storing supplies, and a teleportation ability, a means of moving and escaping.

"Why should I buy supplies now? I can just steal them from the market... No, a scholar's business can't be called stealing. What's wrong with me asking my neighbor for some supplies? I figure nobody wants them anyway."
