Chapter 120: Chapter 120: This Crappy System is Hinting at Me Again
Having reached the Level cap, the search for the next Racial Essence was urgent. Bai Jin’s illness had almost healed, and Yang Yu planned to continue leading the team to the All Things Library.
The small town where they had stayed was not too far from the All Things Library; a two or three-day carriage ride would get them to the jurisdiction of the Library.
During the journey, Yang Yu asked Bai Jin to explain to Iyas about the All Things Library.
The All Things Library, located at the central intersection of Luoze, Serti, and Turen, amassed knowledge and intelligence from all over the world and was also a gathering place for High-level Mages. It had existed for at least five hundred years.
The All Things Library, standing in the center of human countries, maintained absolute neutrality. No matter how human history changed, they would not interfere as long as the Library was not affected.
Historically, there were many countries that wanted to recruit the All Things Library, but most of them came to nothing. Those who tried to conquer it by force met very miserable ends.
Bai Jin knew little about the Library; she had never accompanied her master there, and her master rarely spoke of the Library.
When Bai Jin was ill, she had considered the All Things Library as a place to look for a cure, but the Detention Fee alone was a significant amount, and she was forced to give up due to the cost.
Bai Jin couldn’t provide much useful information, so they had to find someone to ask after they arrived at the Library.
Yang Yu intuitively felt that such a huge library wouldn’t allow just anyone to enter and search for the information they needed.
Perhaps, triggering a certain NPC’s storyline and obtaining a pass from them would be necessary to access the Library.
Continuing the carriage ride, Yang Yu saw from afar a gigantic white wall, as if it were specially constructed to prevent fifty-meter giants from entering.
Beyond the high wall was the jurisdiction of the All Things Library.
The All Things Library was absolutely neutral to human wars.
During wars, they did not involve themselves in any conflict, and no country dared to touch the All Things Library, which naturally became the ideal refuge for refugees.
To prevent the refugees from flooding into the All Things Library desperately, the Library had built the high walls.
It seemed heartless, but it was actually the Library’s dilemma.
Refugees denied entry to the Library still settled around the high walls, forming sizable towns.
For them, this was the farthest place from war.
Not choosing to stay in the towns, Yang Yu drove the carriage toward the checkpoint, where several Magicians stood guard.
"Pay the Detention Fee, ten thousand per person."
Are you guys actually not just robbing us?
Hearing the amount, Yang Yu’s eyeballs almost popped out; despite his surprise, the money still had to be paid in full.
He begrudgingly handed over thirty thousand to the guarding Magicians, who then said,
"The Detention Fee is paid. We will now use Magic to inspect your luggage for any prohibited items. Please cooperate."
The Magician raised his Magic Wand, and a strange light swept over Yang Yu’s entire carriage, each Magician with a solemn expression.
"Could you please open the chest behind you for us to inspect?"
I haven’t brought any weapons of mass destruction, and if I had, they would be stored in the System, so how could they find anything?
Perplexed, Yang Yu opened the chest as the Magician had requested and saw a light blue Slime leisurely napping inside.
"Slimes can’t be brought in?"
"Are you a Monster Tamer?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then there’s no problem. Just register and pay a certain Detention Fee, and you can enter."
"How much does it cost to bring this Slime in?"
"Considering the strength of this Slime, just 32,000."
"32,000?"
Yang Yu’s face was a picture of confusion.
What? Bringing in one Slime is actually more expensive than bringing two people, and saying just 32,000, as if there are other Monster Tamers who have brought all sorts of strange demons in?
"Are you going to pay or not? If you don’t, we can’t let you enter."
Having no choice, Yang Yu painfully took out another 32,000 and gave it to the Mage. The Mage took out a piece of paper, wrote something on it with a flurry, handed it to Yang Yu to sign, and had him press a fingerprint.
Afterward, Yang Yu and his companions were given four blue cards that resembled Borrowing Cards.
The Mage told them that as long as they had these four cards, they could stay in the All Things Library for an entire month. If they lost the cards or exceeded the time, they would be expelled. They must keep a careful watch on the time.
With the cards in hand, Yang Yu drove the carriage through the city gate.
Beyond the gate was an immensely green forest, with a road that stretched into the unknown, a long distance away from the real All Things Library.
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the balance displayed on his System, Yang Yu let out a long sigh.
Who would have thought that just passing through would cost over 60,000...
Not long ago, he sold some unused Equipment, replenished his finances, and bought arrows for Iyas, thinking he wouldn’t have to worry about money for a while. But here he was, financially strained once again.
It looked like it was time to do something to replenish his funds.
He opened his System; there were still three lottery chances left.
All rare or above. If he could snag something good, he was sure to make a fortune.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining one Dragon Pattern Qipao (Rare)]
Huh?
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining one Delicate Lolita Dress (Rare)]
Uh...
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining one Sailor School Uniform (Rare)]
...
These things count as rare? They surely must be common; maybe I got the worst of the rare prizes.
One piece of women’s clothing is one thing, but why three at once? I have a nagging feeling that this damn System is hinting at something.
Yang Yu was speechless.
Looking at the three brand-new pieces of women’s clothing in the tools interface, he clicked on them. They weren’t Equipment, just purely women’s clothing,
Yang Yu’s last bit of fantasy was shattered.
Regardless of whether these clothes were fancy or quirky, whether he could find someone with an aesthetic matching his world to sell these things to was another matter.
However, Yang Yu wasn’t without valuable possessions; he still had more than half a bucket of the Revive Elixir he got from the Silver Orchid Union’s research institute.
As long as he sold that, sitting on a fortune of tens of millions was no problem.
Driving the carriage, Yang Yu started to brew his next marketing story.
Just then, a tightly dressed man suddenly sprang out onto the road ahead. The man looked panicked, glancing around as he quickly walked up to Yang Yu, keeping pace with the carriage, and whispered,
"Big brother, do you you you need that kind of stuff? I I I can assure you, everything I have here is the real deal."
