Become A Human In Another World
ACT 4: Chapter 40 - Back to Adventurer Guild
Liu Xiu stepped slowly towards the neatly lined up Adventurer Guild receptionist.
("As usual, it's still crowded, yeah! As I expected from the trading city, Fuheng!!") liu Xiu said in his heart while smiling happily looking around.
He immediately headed to the counter that Yulia was waiting for. It was Yulia who was taking care of the person who made the request with a sad face.
After all, Yulia was her guide in this Adventurer Guild, so seeing her such figure made Liu Xiu rather unpleasant. But Liu Xiu just waited, until his turn in front of Yulia's table.
"Okay, next customer!" yulia said after finishing some of the files that were in front of her.
Liu Xiu turned his head back for a moment, to make sure no one was queuing up the song behind him. She wanted to ask a lot of things with Yulia, so she was a bit uneasy about scooping up the queue.
"Yo. Julie. Long time no see." said Liu Xiu raising his hand, sitting before Yulia. Yulia who saw Liu Xiu widened her eyes, surprised.
"L-Liu Xiu?!! W-W-Why are you here?!" ask Yulia.
Liu Xiu who heard that frowned, looking at Yulia confusedly.
"Whatchu mean? Why am I here? Obviously I want to report, right? Also obviously I want to pay for the Quest I have done, you know! Here I bring the proof of his completion." Liu Xiu said as he crossed his arms.
He placed the Quest paper that Xi had signed as proof of the completion of the Quest.
Yulia simply gawked, staring at that Quest paper and Liu Xiu alternately. His face showed that he did not believe.
"Liu Xiu's! You're back!!!" Yulia shouted as she hugged Liu Xiu in that Adventurer Guild.
It slightly made people pay attention to the two of them, due to some of the commotion. Liu Xiu immediately gave some hand gestures to say nothing special happened.
"Stop that, Yulia. Don't you see people watching us?!" ask Liu Xiu.
Yulia heard him, then retreated and sat back down to her seat.
"I'm sorry. I'm just too happy with this. How to say it, I'm glad you're back, Liu Xiu. I thought you would never come back." replied Yulia with a smile on her face. There was a single tear appearing, but he quickly wiped it away.
"What's all of a sudden?! I never came back? Whatchu mean?" asked Liu Xiu in surprise.
"Umm. You said you'd be back in a week or two. But it turns out you've barely been back in a month. It makes you think you died on a mission, because no one was with you at the time."
"I don't know, but it hurt after you told me not to be careless in giving guidance. But instead you die.." continued Yulia.
Liu Xiu slightly tilted his head, not understanding.
"Whatis that? Me? Die off? And also, I didn't leave for a month, you know. I only left for about 3 weeks." Liu Xiu replied.
"Forget about it now. I want-" next, Liu Xiu went straight to the heart of the matter.
He received the Quest prize, which turned out to be 900 Rowa. Liu Xiu also did not forget to ask about the cost of living a day here. He also asked about the finances in this Kingdom. It made Yulia a little curious as to how Liu Xiu had lived all this time.
Liu Xiu also conferred with Yulia, about her 7 members. Naturally, Liu Xiu did not mention them directly, but Liu Xiu tried to have the seven of them get an Identity card.
Because after all, the seven of them would need some false identities, so making a first here was a good move.
With some persuasion, Yulia finally accepted it, then Liu Xiu also asked for something else, especially about money.
In South Africa, money is divided into 2. Rowa and Dowa. Rowa is a banknote, and Dowa is a dime. Rowa and Dowa have the same nominal value of 1.5.10, and 100, and 100 Dowa is 1 Rowa.
For a 1-day charge including lodging in this Fuheng city, Liu Xiu would need 3 Rowa. Hearing that, Liu Xiu was slightly surprised. It was because the reward he got was huge, up to 900 Rowa!
Yulia said, it was because there were already many people who tried, but still did not meet. Perhaps it was related to the eligibility of the person judged by Sova herself, and ended up with a quest that was stuck.
It made Liu Xiu understand why when he came to the World Tree, his condition was already so severe.
And the Guilds increased the commission for that Quest, therefore it was almost 3 months here. If there were a Quest that was more than 2 months no one could afford, the Guild would question its strength, making the Guild take that step.
Liu Xiu slightly asked, why did the S-Rankers not accept this Quest? But he unbundled his intentions while being grateful it didn't happen.
After asking enough questions, Liu Xiu left the counter while carrying a bag of money in his hand.
"Goodbye, Yulia. We will meet again in this close to discuss some things. May you not forget that" Liu Xiu said as he waved his hand, leaving Yulia.
Yulia was just silent, waving her hand back, smiling while looking far away with her eyes.
"You too, Liu Xiu. Thank you for returning safely. I'm so grateful." whispered Yulia softly, who was probably only heard by herself.

"Masters. You've been there long enough" said Beta to welcome Liu Xiu. They look bored waiting, especially Fischia that has withered like a dry plant.
"sorry. There's a lot I ask. Well, for now, let's find a place to eat and lodging. After that, we will rest before practicing" Liu Xiu said.
He left, followed by seven people who were immediately happy when they heard they were going to eat. Because indeed, all this time they only ate game animals, and it was not seasoned or anything.
...
The next day, Liu Xiu returned to look for a mission. But now, he chose to run a mission that was in accordance with his Rank. He wanted to raise his Rank as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Liu Xiu gave the others light exercises, such as setting magic and using magic without spells. But Celica who has more ability in magic Liu Xiu gave practice to use space magic and some other things.
Eina also got some special training, as it was Liu Xiu who saw her talent and interest in the alchemy section. Actually, Liu Xiu hoped that Eina could fuse between Magic and alchemy, it would be better.
But what Liu Xiu emphasized the most, was to obtain the [Fake] skill as quickly as possible.
It was needed to fool people if the seven of them would later have to come into contact with others, such as signing up to the Adventurer Guild.
And one week later, Yulia managed to get the seven people to take the test without the need for other troublesome things. It coincided with Fischia successfully obtaining the [Fake] skill.
It was no wonder, how could they so quickly obtain a skill.
Ordinary people can get a skill in 5 days if they know what to do to get the skill, even Beta can be in 1 day, followed by Alpha in the next day.
And thus, the seven of them now had each different name within the Adventurer Guild.
