Chapter 391: Chapter 9: Initiation at the Speed of Light

After coming out from Golden Eyes’ small courtyard, Li Yu was still thinking about Ruby’s last words.

He found that he couldn’t tell at all if the girl was lying.

The top-tier liar?

It was not without reason that this seemingly inconspicuous little maid had survived so many previous masters and even deceived Hirodod at times.

After settling the matters of Golden Eyes and Ruby, Li Yu finally had time to check on Niu Xiangui, who had been living on the Bratis Continent for eight days.

Contrary to his expectations, Niu Xiangui was not in the transmigrator’s apartment.

Li Yu asked a few nearby lizard people and finally found Niu Xiangui practicing swordplay by a small stream.

Li Yu stood aside and watched for a while and noticed that Niu Xiangui was practicing quite seriously. Even though there were only two simple slashing actions, he was very engaged and completely unaware of his presence.

Moreover, combined with the sturdy body of a Half-Beast, Niu Xiangui’s wooden sword swung with vigorous force.

At least it looked rather intimidating.

Li Yu had also learned a couple of moves from Jude, but due to his limited physical talents, his training results were relatively limited and more often used for sneaking around.

Niu Xiangui practiced swordplay for a while and then wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Afterward, he took off the boots and socks on his feet, bare-legged, he stepped into the stream and bent over, fumbling for something.

After a while, Li Yu saw him pull out a wooden basket that even had two salmon the size of palm fronds.

Niu Xiangui let out a cheer and tossed the two salmon into the fish basket.

At that time, two soldiers from the Black Hound Guard, led by a lizard woman, were rushing towards them. However, upon seeing Li Yu, they stopped and respectfully bowed to him, then stood aside.

Niu Xiangui finally noticed the anomaly behind him, turned his head, and first saw Li Yu, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"Prophet Merlin, you’re finally back!"

"Hmm, nice trap."

"Hahaha, I learned this before on YouTube," Niu Xiangui began to beam with pride upon meeting someone who appreciated his skills.

"The natives here didn’t believe it at first. When I brought this trap over, they pointed and gestured at me continuously until I caught some fish, then they were immediately dumbfounded."

"Is there a possibility that they were not questioning your trap but questioning your act of fishing?"

"Fishing? What’s wrong with that," Niu Xiangui paused, "Isn’t this the wilderness?"

"Most things on the Bratis Continent are owned by someone. Those lords own not just the land but everything on it," Li Yu explained.

"Damn, that’s so exploitative?"

"Catching fish like you just did could land you in a dungeon if caught, but luckily you are on the land of the Double Rest Sect, so it only brought the Church guards here."

Li Yu pulled out two silver coins from his pocket as a fine and tossed them to the two guards.

The guards took the money and bowed to Li Yu once more before quickly leaving.

Li Yu then turned back, "What’s the matter, is the food not enough?"

"Well, that’s not the case; the food’s pretty good, just a bit bland and lacking rice," Niu Xiangui said sheepishly, "I just recalled something I had seen before and wanted to show off my skills; I didn’t expect it would backfire."

"Have you finished today’s lessons?" Li Yu asked again.

"Done, all done," Niu Xiangui patted his chest and said, "As for the language here, it’s not as hard as C++, I should be able to pass T4 in about two and a half months."

"That’s good."

Niu Xiangui had graduated as a full-stack developer, so there was not much to worry about regarding his learning capabilities.

Li Yu then asked, "Today is your ninth day here; have you encountered any difficulties with your daily life? Tell me, and I’ll see if I can help solve them, and also use this feedback to improve our initial reception work for transmigrators."

Niu Xiangui scratched his head, "Then I’ll speak plainly, I think the newbie guide here could be a bit more detailed.

"When I first arrived, I almost wore myself out just trying to fetch water; I couldn’t find the well at first, then got lost, and even spent a long time trying to start a fire... oh right, if possible, it would be best to include a map of the village in the handbook, marking out the apartments, the service facilities and the like; that would be perfect."

"Hmm, your suggestion is good," Li Yu said, "It can be added into the Transmigrator’s Manual."

"There’s such a wonderful thing as the Transmigrator’s Manual," Niu Xiangui was overjoyed, "Where is it? Did I miss it?"

"No, I am still compiling that manual; your experience as the first servant on the Bratis Continent is precious," Li Yu paused, then asked, "Anything else?"

"Oh well. Let’s just say, life here is indeed very different from my previous life; it requires some time to adapt. To be honest, I hardly slept at all my first three nights, feeling depressed from time to time, and even regretting coming here.

"There are no electrical appliances here, no internet, and neither delivery nor takeout. I can’t even communicate in the local language; practically nothing goes smoothly."

"How did you adjust after that?"

"It was Saturday, it helped me."

"Hmm?"

"On the fourth day, Teacher Mary taught me the doctrines of the Double Rest Sect, and the ultimate goals of the Church, which greatly inspired me."

Niu Xiangui said, "I feel like I’ve found a new goal in life—to build a world where everyone has double rest days. That must be why I reincarnated here!

"We can’t let the people here repeat our mistakes!" Niu Xiangui waved his fists, his tone fiery.

"History has proven that we can’t eradicate class distinctions, the wealth gap, or injustices to create a utopian world, but at the very least, we should restore the right to rest to the people!

"As long as I, Niu Xiangui, am still breathing, I will swear to defend the moral right to a double rest week!!!"

As Niu Xiangui shouted these deafening words, his face surprisingly also revealed a hint of sacredness.

At least from that moment on, he truly looked like a Heroic Spirit of the Double Rest Sect, rather than some random person Li Yu had dragged from a hospital ward.

Li Yu didn’t expect that Niu Xiangui could be indoctrinated so quickly.

After all, many of Li Yu’s modern technological missionary methods had no effect on Niu Xiangui, and even the name "Saturday" sounded dubious to modern people.

But it took only eight days, just a short eight days, for Niu Xiangui to nearly autonomously evolve into a fanatic of the Double Rest Sect!

Yet, considering his previous experiences, this was not too surprising.

Li Yu suddenly realized how he should select reincarnators to go to another world. Compared to professional skills, compatibility—an attribute he had overlooked before—might be more crucial.

No matter what career one pursues, having shared ideals is the most important thing.
