Chapter 94: Do You Know a Lot?
I obtained furniture, seasonings, and wine!
Stealth One is so reliable! I was genuinely delighted and unexpectedly praised her.
Though it was just "well done," this was quite significant coming from me – I’m not good at giving compliments…
After being praised, Stealth One trembled several times again. Is this her happy reaction?
…
With wooden tables and chairs, I can now dine while seated properly. As for the wooden bed, it means I won’t have to sleep on the floor anymore… Well, not that it makes much practical difference.
It’s mainly psychological comfort.
But the next item isn’t just psychological comfort – it’s real physical comfort!
Ta-da!
Salt! The king of seasonings!
Whether it’s mountain deer meat or wild rabbit meat, roasting it with some salt… Oh! The tender, flavorful taste makes all worries vanish instantly!
When Red Pupil and Little Tear tried this salted roasted meat, they unanimously praised it.
Given the choice between plain roasted meat and raw meat, they’d pick raw. But salted roasted meat? They’ll choose the roasted version every time.
The only pity is we only got a small jar of salt.
Though I considered trying equivalent exchange again, the villagers now consider last night’s event a divine miracle! Seriously?
Hehe, call me Queen Ant!
But repeating similar actions – whether equivalent exchange or theft – might draw unwanted attention from the human race.
Now for the final item.
The wine Stealth One unexpectedly acquired!
It smells like beer brewed from wheat or similar grains.
I really want to taste it, but shouldn’t minors avoid alcohol? Wait – I’m already a mother! That makes me an adult, right?
The aroma is enticing and I’m curious about the flavor… Finally couldn’t resist trying it!
But the actual taste…
Disgusting.
Bitter and astringent, leaving my throat uncomfortable.
Slightly regretting this decision.
When I complained about the taste, Stealth One appeared surprised.
She seems to have tried this ale before.
Since she likes it, I’ll let her keep it.
…
Three more days passed.
Jilly returned to the forest. With Stealth Ants secretly escorting her, there were no monster attacks like last time’s goblin incident.
"Sister Adventurer?"
At their previous meeting spot, she called out tentatively.
Lin Yu suddenly realized she’d never shared her name.
When her calls went unanswered, the girl seemed to remember something. She quickly pulled out coarse cloth from her clothes and blindfolded herself.
"Are you there, sister? I’ve covered my eyes!"
"I’m here. Call me… White Feather."
"Sister White Feather!"
"Mmm. How’s your mother doing?"
Start with her mother’s condition – keep it natural before gathering other intel!
"Mom…"
The girl’s voice faltered. She hesitated before forcing a smile.
"Don’t worry Sister White Feather. I’m sure Mom will recover if we wait a bit longer."
"Good. Here’s more detoxifying herb I collected."
Lin Yu didn’t dwell on it, instructing the clever goblin to place the herbs in the child’s hands.
The same quantity as before.
"Wow, the same amount as last time! Thank you! But… you didn’t venture into dangerous areas again for these, did you?"
"No need for concern. I can manage."
"So you really are that strong?"
If that’s the case, perhaps even the Guild President doesn’t know this information!
Jilly’s tone grew excited.
"May I ask about your adventurer class, sister? Ah, if… if it’s not too much to ask…"
"Hmm, your mother is also an adventurer?"
"Yes, Mom’s a Class D adventurer."
A Class D adventurer? What tier does that represent?
Does a Class D adventurer’s strength directly correspond to their rank? Or does it require special evaluation?
I’m not sure, but normally the progression should go from Class D to Class C, right?
"Then I’m slightly stronger than your mother."
Though being too powerful isn’t ideal either – better to keep quiet while accumulating wealth.
"Is sister a Class C Adventurer?"
"Mhm."
Heh, how about that? Stronger than your mom!
"Well… thank you for the detoxifying herb, sister."
"Don’t mention it."
Huh?? She already thanked me earlier. Why repeat it?
Her mood seems to have darkened again. Could I have caused this?
No matter – I’ve still got my trump card!
Lin Yu had Red Pupil toss a massive wolf haunch before the girl.
Considering the child’s physical strength, this portion of Granville Wolf meat was the maximum she could carry.
"I hunted a Granville Wolf this morning. Saved some meat for you to take home to your mother."
"Oh! Granville Wolf meat? I know them! They’re usually early-stage Class D monsters."
Her spirits seemed lifted, though…
"You’re quite knowledgeable?"
"Mom taught me before."
Mom again. She really adores her mother.
"Let me test your knowledge then."
"What does sister want to test? Mom taught me lots about monsters!"
"Exactly about monsters."
…
Lin Yu proceeded to question Jilly about creatures in Granville Monster Forest.
Some answers matched her existing knowledge, others revealed new information.
The queries covered monster tiers, territorial ranges, attack patterns, and material values of meat, bones, and pelts.
Jilly only knew partial details about Class C and lower-tier monsters – less comprehensive than Lin Yu’s recent investigations – but provided useful pricing data:
Goblin meat at five copper coins per pound,
Three intact goblin teeth for one copper,
Goblin phallus at ten copper each…
(The latter’s inflated price stemming from alleged potency enhancement.)
Learning these materials held monetary value delighted Lin Yu.
Months of daughters’ hunting had stockpiled mountains of monster parts in the anthill.
Maybe we can trade these with the human race eventually?
…
Jilly showed passionate interest in monsters, chattering animatedly.
Lin Yu casually flaunted her recent intelligence on advanced monsters, sharing previously unknown facts about Class B Monsters.
This earned her gushing admiration.
Had she removed the girl’s eyepatch then, she might’ve seen starry-eyed wonder.
