《Pedlar of Another World》Pedlar of Another World - Chapter 34

[My first pet monster.]
A few hours later, I woke up. When I take a look at my surrounding, it seems like I'm within a tent or something similar. There is some horse galloping sound could be heard from the outside, so I quickly wake up and exits the tent. On the outside, I could see a view of a small military camp with weapons like spears, halberds, swords, and staves are placed all over my surrounding. It is almost a shelves of weapons by the side of each tent, and the tent seems like bigger than a normal one. When I think back, the only time I saw such big tent is when I am within Mongolia and went into their movable residence. That was well equipped with stove, bed, furniture and many more household items.
I walked towards where most of the people are gathered and managed to see how the troops actually trained themselves. Group of ten is fighting in a Battle Royale, where only the strongest could be called as a winner. You may use any trick or advantages that are most suited to yourself, and at the end, only the final one still stands could be said as the overall winner in the fight. I joined the other spectators as I kept my eyes busy with their fights, until a person put his hand on my shoulder, and took away my attention.
"Brother Ling Tian Ming!" I immediately noticed this person beside me, as I turned around and looked at him. Beside him, it seems like the person called as Ling Tian Qi is also standing behind him. "You are quite reckless this time. Luckily I met Tian Qi just a moment after you grabbed on that piece of Rusted Soul Brass Ingot. Do you know how dangerous is this metal that it would need you to have a Copper Thread Cloth to hold it?" Ling Tian Ming immediately gave me a lecture as he saw how reckless I am without knowing the material I just purchased.
"Here, this is the piece of Ingot. I already wrap it with the cloth, so make sure you be careful next time when you try to smelt that. Just remember that even if you managed to make it into a tool, you still need at least 10 Physical Point to wear it." Ling Tian Ming passed that piece of Ingot back to my hand and warns me before I recklessly use it again in the future before getting myself ready for it. He later leads me along with Ling Tian Qi, who is his younger brother around the camp and talks to me. I noticed that I have actually fainted for more than 20 hours, so I guess I already missed my flight back to the Ling Hun Town.
But since Ling Tian Ming's riders are often in patrols between the woods and mountain path from Ling Cheng City to the Ling Hun Town, he offered the privilege to be escorted by his men until I reached Ling Hun Town. Although he wanted to extend an offer to allows me to stay in Ling Cheng City, but the cost of living in the city is tripled compare to living in Ling Hun Town, so after he gauge my capability at the moment, he agreed that I should stay in Ling Hun Town for a while more, at least until my capability is higher.

I asked about the condition of the Ling Cheng City, and it seems like only at least Refiner at Grade 8 capability could join the refiner workshop, thus with my skills as a medium grade Refiner, I am far too less capable to join into their Refiner's rank. Since this is how It is, I am not too bothered as this is only the second month, after I am being reincarnated into this world. Two days later, I followed the others as we ride on a horse and begin our journey back to Ling Hun Town.
Although the Ling State only have four towns and two cities, by in between the few settlements, a few smaller settlements actually spread along the journey. These smaller settlements are spread almost one day distance between each other, and in this journey from Ling Cheng City back to Ling Hun Town, a total of seven stopping point is available in between.
Our first-day destination stopped at the Hong Tong Outpost (Red Copper Outpost). This is one of the location spread out from the Ling Cheng City, and the destination for most of the Blacksmith from the city because of the rich Copper, Iron and Tin Deposits could be obtained within. Our second day and third-day journeys go along well, as we spend a night at the Copper Crystal Outpost, and later the Mushroom Village, a small settlement that often visited by concocter and herbalist because of the materials for making potions and ointments could be harvest from the Blood Mushroom Forest.
On our fourth and fifth day, we are more careful as we travel, because we are passing a very dangerous location known as the Direwolf Peak, a spot where only a moderate size camp is available for a temporary stay, and the ends of both sides. Although the camp is just a small one by the side of the mountain, quite a number of pedlars and merchants could be seen, because there will be always a demand for business in such location.
On our sixth day, we finally stopped at the Brass Mountain Outpost, a spot that I used to went over for a short while. Finally, on the seventh day, we finally reached the Ling Hun Town, as the rider troops finally withdraw their horse and leave the town after they done the resupplying and also some delivery messages. They keep saying the word we are lucky, as, on this one week journey, we didn't meet with a single monster. It was good if it is often this peaceful, but when it came to benefits, sometimes too peaceful will mean less profitable for people who depending on the monsters to earn some money for living.
For me, I am not bothered, because what I'm thinking next, is about what can I do if I actually get bored with the normal living routine. I went straight to the town hall to check their request board, and soon, I noticed a quite special piece of a request. Looking for a person to deliver some materials to the Brass Mountain 4th Peak's Goblin Settlement. I tear the piece of `notice and bring it over to the counter. "This sister, can I take this request?" I placed the notice on the counter and asked for the paperwork.

"This request is about delivering a parcel of materials to the Goblin Settlement at 4th Brass Mountain Peak. Your reward is a 100 Black Spirit Crystals, but there will be no insurance to cover for your safety in this request, are you sure you want to take it? Your journey will contain the threat from the 1st Mountain Peak's Mountain Ape, the 2nd Mountain Peak's Mountain Flame Boar, the 3rd Mountain Peak's Mountain Hound and some of the aggressive 4th Mountain Peak's Grey Goblins." the lady receptionist immediately informs me about the danger of this mission.
"You will need to make sure that the materials are delivered within one month. Although your journey from town to the Brass Mountain 1st Peak only need 1 day, from there onwards, you will require at least half to a day to reach the next consecutive mountain peak, if your journey is safe and sound along the way. Are you confirm?" she continued and asked for my approval. "Yes." I immediately agreed, and she took out five big chests with many materials is stored within, locked with a pretty specialized Brass Padlock.
This is the special Brass Material Chest, a special 5000 Unit Storage box that used to deliver materials for the buyers. You will deliver this five chest to the Goblin Settlement, look for their chieftain called as Kukululu." the female receptionist passed me the five chest with a token, and bade me farewell and good luck. I returned to the Refiner Workshop afterwards, took a rest and left to the Teleportation Gate for the next day. I went into the Red Blood Cave once again, and took my time to mine for crystals for the next five days., a total of 100 hours is used in crystal mining. At the end of the day, I exit the cave after I felt it is enough after mining nonstop.
With 500 Brass Rod still remains in the inventory, I went over to the Blacksmith Workshop to repair my tools and used a total of 100 rods to repair them to their mint condition, before I took a rest and prepare for the refining works tomorrow. Since the third month already come, I will have to deliver a 90 Medium Grade crystals as my this month quota one again.
With 25,000 Lower Grade 10 Red Power Crystals in hand, I quickly refine all of them in the remaining five days. A total of 5,000 tries is available within the refining session, where at the end of the day, 3050 of them are successful, with another twenty-seven times of success in activating the Level 5 Quirk. Within this five day, I did not forget to further extend my greed, because I actually used my level 10 Quirk to creates 5 Upper-Grade 10 Red Power Crystals for myself. At the end of the day, before I went for my rest, I pocketed a total of 2962 Medium Red Power Crystals and 5 Upper Red Power Crystals, after I handover 90 Medium Crystals to the counter as my monthly quota.
Of course, in between the five hours, I spend some time to refine all the Blood Crystal Sand in hand as well. In total, I actually have refined a total of 246 Blood Crystals in hand. As I am already within my room, I took some time to check on the item I have gathered from the Red Blood Cave. I have actually gathered 800 additional on the Slime Essence Crystals and Slime Digestive Substance, So I took out 1000 of the Slime Essence Crystals out and look at them as they gathered together to form a single Slime Core.
When I checked on the core using Scan Skill, a choice of selection came out.
"One Slime Core is available. Activate the Slime Core?"
Yes
No
I chose yes. And immediately, the slime core floats on the air like it was alive, as the air around the Slime core immediately formed into a bubble made of air. The remaining Slime Digestive Substance within my inventory flows out from my pouch as it slowly gets sucked into the bubble and slowly, a huge Mantau shape slime appeared before me.
"Your Level 1 Slime is born, from now onwards, you will have the commanding right to control and cultivate this slime. As long the core of the monster is not destroyed, you will be able to maintain it's level and all of its speciality."

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.
