Chapter 2 I Want to Become a Millionaire
It was a sunny and breezy morning.
A gentle breeze swept across the fields, and the green leaves in the forest sliced the warm sunlight into fragments.
Hua Zhen sat under a big tree, munching on a Darou brand energy bar while reading the Adventurer's Daily Column.
"The Minotaur Legion successfully advanced to the Gold-level adventurer rank the day before yesterday. In response, the well-known Minotaur Legion declared that it would crush and humiliate the Minotaur Legion from then on. The latter has not yet made any statement."
"The gym at No. 19 Gugu Street recently launched a promotion where anyone, regardless of gender, can get a free workout by wearing black stockings."
"Renowned adventure food critic David Day has recently gained another 60 pounds and is about to challenge the 30th floor of the underground labyrinth. Will he be able to successfully defeat the powerful Fat Monster? Let's wait and see!"
"The Alchemy Workshop recently launched a special OSR6 mechanical shaker set; the first 100 customers will enjoy a 20% discount!"
"Attention everyone! There are no bathhouse attendants at the bathhouse on Round Corner Street! Anyone who claims to be one is lying! Also, the shower gel... shower gel is normally cold!"
"What the hell?" Hua Zhen became more and more bored as she read.
It's said to be an adventurer's daily column.
Actually, there wasn't much technical information available.
Overall, it's mostly for entertainment.
It's either promotional offers or some miscellaneous news.
As long as you're willing to spend a little money, you can have your deeds published there; even something as trivial as an adventurer stealing a woman's shoes from his party to use as a lunchbox can make the front page.
Hua Zhen doesn't want these trivial matters.
Honestly, even the gossip told by the old lady sunbathing at the village entrance before he time-traveled was more exciting than this.
He wanted some news that could bring economic benefits.
In other words, his goal is money.
Or rather... become a millionaire!
Three months have passed since I transmigrated to this world.
I still remember that the national highway was wet and slippery after the rain. Two 100-ton trucks skidded and drifted gracefully, smashing Hua Zhen's Wuling Hongguang into a metal sheet. When I opened my eyes again, I was here.
Oh dear... I'm still wearing...
No savings, no connections, no place to live.
Haha.
Now I'm homeless.
However, Hua Zhen was not very pessimistic.
Because he knew very well that money could solve 99% of life's problems.
As for the remaining one percent, it's simply because they didn't have enough money on hand.
In Hua Zhen's view, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
Sometimes, if the other party is unwilling to give up, it's because the price you offered wasn't high enough.
Even in another world, a monetary system is still essential.
With the increasing frequency of exchanges between the various kingdoms, commercial exchanges have become increasingly prosperous.
Wealth flows with people's interactions, spreading as rapidly as sexually transmitted diseases caused by promiscuity.
Meanwhile, against the backdrop of the "Great Expansion," the alchemy industry and magical technology developed rapidly.
As steam trains roared across the vast plains, billowing black smoke, airships fueled by magic stones soared through the skies, and the unexplored continents also spurred the prosperity of the adventurer profession.
For Hua Zhen, being an adventurer is undoubtedly a good choice if he wants to earn enough wealth.
Their extraordinary strength allows them to do things that ordinary people cannot.
Although it may be difficult at the beginning, as strength and reputation grow, powerful adventurers will no longer need to struggle to squeeze into the guild's commission board every day. People will naturally come to them because of their reputation, and the rewards will also increase. In addition, they can participate in the exploration of unknown continents.
Unknown lands breed unknown dangers, as well as countless unknown riches.
With money, even the most powerful adventurer will be willing to do things for you.
However, Huazhen is still in its early stages, so for now, it can only work diligently.
"Aren't there any good trends to watch lately?" Hua Zhen muttered. "If all else fails, you could at least mark places that are being attacked by monsters. I don't want to see news about discounts on Flying Cups..."
"But then again, is this price really worth it? Buy a batch and then sell it to the nearby villages and towns where the young women have all gone to the city to work, leaving behind a large number of single men from Zhongdeng who are farming. That should be profitable, provided they don't raise too many sheep..."
My gaze continued downwards.
"Shocking! The 'Eye of Curse' within the underground labyrinth has shifted its location several times in recent days, and there is a possibility that it may move out of the labyrinth again. Adventurers currently on quests outside should be extra cautious!"
"The Cursed Eye?"
At that moment, a head brazenly peered in.
Golden strands of hair drifted onto Hua Zhen's face in the breeze, carrying the scent of lavender shampoo.
Along with that came the crunching sound of chewing.
It was Tia singing while chewing on a corncob.
She leaned closer, her two large, bright blue eyes blinking, showing absolutely no sense of social distance.
The two are currently on their way to the mission location.
It's not a very long journey.
Starting from the main city of Farlands, it takes at most half a day to reach the Misty Forest to the southwest. If you're lucky, you can even get a discounted set meal at the Adventurers' Guild on the way back.
Unfortunately, Tia started complaining about needing to rest after only a short while.
This guy's appearance is a 9 out of 10, but his physical abilities are nothing like those of an adventurer.
He was thin and weak, and would pant after walking only a few steps. His exposed arms and calves were always wrapped in bandages.
Bandaging is considered a fashion trend among adventurers.
Some busty female adventurers would also use it as a breast wrap, and they would always dress very scantily when resting and eating at the guild's tavern, which made a little virgin like Hua Zhen feel very positive.
Hua Zhen couldn't tell if Tia Ge was really injured, and since he hadn't rested well last night either, he decided to rest with her and even gave her an energy bar.
It wasn't that he was acting out of kindness.
It would be troublesome if this guy, who seems to have low blood sugar, fainted on the street.
You should know that even the most useless person can act as bait when danger strikes.
"I don't need to outrun monsters I can't beat, I just need to outrun my teammates"—the motto of a certain blond adventurer.
"The Eye of the Curse, is this thing going to come up to the ground?" Tia asked.
"I don't know, I think it's unlikely. It's always been wandering around the underground labyrinth, it couldn't possibly want to come up and sunbathe, could it?" Hua Zhen shook her head.
"Yeah, even if they do come up, it's none of my business." Tia crossed her arms. "I've always been lucky; I don't run into those unlucky guys."
"..."
Hua Zhen had no idea where her confidence came from.
The so-called "Cursed Eye" is a phenomenon that lingers in the underground labyrinth of Farlands. It is rumored that the underground labyrinth is inhabited by living beings, and the "Cursed Eye" is the eye of the underground labyrinth, used to punish adventurers who trespass.
Anyone who enters its range will be cursed to varying degrees, and in many different forms.
Most importantly, its location is not fixed; it moves frequently and is difficult to detect.
No one can guarantee that they won't be targeted by it.
But then again...
Surely my luck and Tia's can't really be that bad?
Thinking of this, Hua Zhen laughed at herself.
Instead of worrying about that, I'd rather worry about what happens after I bravely rescue a pampered young lady from the goblin cave. This young lady happens to be an exceptionally beautiful girl, cold to everyone but warm and gentle to me. She shamelessly insists on marrying me with a large sum of money from her bank account, and after the wedding, she'll stand at my doorstep every day wearing only an apron… no, nothing but an apron, to greet me when I come home. Finally, she'll whisper in a soft, seductive voice, "Darling, shall we eat first tonight, or eat me first?"
Oh dear, this Final Fantasy section...
Tsk tsk, though it's just a thought.
Just thinking about it is exhilarating!
