Open the door, there is another world

The blonde salesgirl smiled and nodded: “Yeah, after all, we can’t let us work for nothing.”

Li Qing: “Shouldn’t the Adventurer Headquarters pay your wages?”

“That’s true, but the headquarters also needs income.” The blonde salesgirl said with a smile.

Li Qing: “Shouldn’t the income come from the commission? Aren’t you going to take a cut?”

“That’s another kind of income,” said the blonde salesgirl.

The smile on his face froze a little. The Adventurer’s Guild is the Adventurer’s Guild’s business. You, who are not an insider, are asking questions here. Do you still want to register? And the registration fee is a strategy set by the headquarters. It’s useless for you to ask me here. I can’t explain it to you.

“Then how do you calculate your salary? Are you still hiring?” Li Qing kept asking.

The smile on the blonde salesgirl’s face froze, and she finally couldn’t help but ask, “Customer, do you want to register or not?”

“Such a bad attitude?” Li Qing glanced at her.

The blonde salesgirl was even more helpless: “Customer, this is just a novice adventure town. I don’t know the answers to the questions you asked. If you want to know the answers to these questions, you have to go to the Adventurer Headquarters in the Royal City to ask. And we are not responsible for recruiting people, so you have to go to the headquarters.”

Li Qing nodded: “Okay, okay.”

This kind of thing really shouldn’t make things difficult for junior staff, who are just following orders and don’t have much autonomy. It’s just like the news I saw when I was playing with my phone at home. A hospital only opened one window on the weekend, and many people lined up at that window. A patient cursed the nurse who worked there, saying that the hospital was superior. The cursing could be heard throughout the hall, but the nurse couldn’t do anything about it. This was the hospital’s rule, and the nurse was still assigned to work here. She didn’t want to work here, but she had no choice. As a result, she was scolded here. It was really unfair.

So if you want to scold someone, just go and scold them in front of the leader. This is the only way to solve the problem. Scolding the clerk will not solve any problem, and the clerk will just feel wronged.

So Li Qing didn’t bother the blonde salesgirl and asked with a smile, “How much?”

The blonde salesgirl finally breathed a sigh of relief: “Two of you?”

Li Qing hummed: “Two.”

The blonde salesgirl said a number, and Li Qing also breathed a sigh of relief, because the money he robbed from the gangster was enough, so he lined up the money on the counter. The blonde salesgirl took a look and found that the number was correct, so she put it away and then brought out an instrument. It was a sphere with metal arms wrapped around it and a base underneath, but the sphere had nothing to support it. It just floated there in the void. It was obvious that it was a magic item.

“What is this?” Li Qing asked curiously.

The blonde salesgirl said, “This can test your basic attributes and let you know what direction you can develop in. There are many professions for adventurers, such as Crusader, Magician, High Priest, Swordsman, etc. You can choose the profession that suits you best based on your attribute trends.”

“Is that so?” Li Qing nodded with a smile.

Then he said to Kirisu Madoka, “You try it first.”

“Okay.” Kirisu Madoka was also very curious about this, so she didn’t refuse anything. Besides, with Li Qing here, she didn’t have to worry about any danger.

At the signal of the blonde salesgirl, she placed her hand on the sphere, which then emitted a hazy glow. The metal arms surrounding it also began to rotate, and finally formed a beam of light that headed towards the base below, where a card had been placed. The beam of light fell on the card, scanning it for a while, and finally the light disappeared. The card, which was originally empty, was now covered with words.

The blonde salesgirl picked it up and looked at it. “Its strength, speed, and physique are all normal.”

Kirisu Madoka nodded slightly. She had a clear understanding of herself. Her strength, speed, and physique were indeed similar to those of ordinary people, so she was not surprised by this attribute. Then she heard the blonde salesgirl’s voice: “Your mental strength is much higher than that of ordinary people.”

“Really?” Kirisu Madoka was surprised.

She thought she was just an ordinary person, but she didn’t expect that she was superior to ordinary people in one aspect.

“Of course, it’s much higher than ordinary people.” The blonde salesgirl smiled and said, “Although I can’t become a great magician yet, I can still be an ordinary magician. And after upgrading, the spiritual attribute will increase, and there is a chance to change to a great magician.”

“Is that so?” Kirisu Madoka nodded.

At this time, Li Qing remembered the reason why Kirisu Madoka’s mental power was higher than that of ordinary people. It was probably practiced while racing. Kirisu Madoka’s racing skills were very advanced. Even if the streets were full of cars, he could squeeze his car in among them and finally gallop away. There was no tension on his face, as if it was just a drizzle. Racing is not a trivial skill. It is really not good if the reaction speed is not enough, and it is really not good if the perception of the surroundings is not so sensitive. However, Kirisu Madoka is so powerful, so it is normal for his mental power to be higher.

“Change your job to a magician?” Kirisu Madoka asked Li Qing.

Li Qing smiled and nodded: “Turn around.”

Kirisu Madoka hummed, and then changed her job to a magician. She felt a warmth in her body, as if something had appeared. Finally, she sensed the existence of that thing. It was a strange heat flow, which she could manipulate at will. Then the blonde salesgirl’s voice came: “Congratulations on your job change to a magician.”

Kirisu Madoka opened her eyes and thanked him, “Thank you.”

Then he asked about the abnormality in his body, and the blonde salesgirl smiled and said, “That should be magic.”

“Magic power?” Kirisu Madoka nodded and looked at Li Qing.

Li Qing had been watching Kirisu Mafuyu since she changed her job to a magician. He knew that magic power had indeed been stimulated in her body, and it was pure magic power that belonged to Kirisu Mafuyu herself, so Li Qing nodded and said, “It is magic power.”

Kirisu Madoka hummed, took the card and looked at it. It was indeed that the mental power was much higher, and there was indeed a suffix of magician at the end.

“It’s my turn now.” Li Qing said at this time.

The blonde salesgirl nodded quickly and let Li Qing put his hand on the ball.

Li Qing placed his hand on the sphere, and immediately felt a stream of air flowing from the sphere into his body. It circulated in his body and was about to gather his information and form it on the card. Li Qing quickly intercepted the breath, changed the information in it, and finally let it flow out, forming a beam of light to write and draw on the card. Finally, he picked up the card, and the blonde salesgirl looked at it curiously: “Although the attributes are better than those of ordinary people, they are not much better.”

She showed an embarrassment: “All the higher-level jobs are unavailable, and the lower-level jobs are also a little bit worse…”

“What should we do then?” Li Qing asked.

The blonde salesgirl blinked her eyes and said, “Giving up on being an adventurer?”

Li Qing shook his head: “That won’t work.”

The blonde salesgirl shook her head helplessly: “Then you can only find a basic job.”

“What is it?” Li Qing smelled it.

The blonde salesgirl said, “Adventurer.”

“Adventurer? That’s the name?” Li Qing nodded.

The blonde salesgirl nodded: “Yes, it is the most basic and fundamental profession.”

Li Qing nodded, his expression a little strange. This setting reminded him of something. Seeing him like this, the blonde salesgirl thought he was a little tempted, so she quickly said, “Adventurer is the most basic profession. Although you can learn skills from any profession, it does not have any skill tree. In other words, if you want to learn skills, you must find someone who is willing to teach you. In addition, there is no career bonus for adventurers, and the skills learned will also be much less powerful than the original basic power. So the profession of adventurer is just like its name, it is an adventure.”

Li Qing smiled and nodded: “I understand.”

The blonde salesgirl breathed a sigh of relief: “I’m glad you understand. Being an adventurer is not a good choice at all, so you should give up the idea of ​​being an adventurer. Going back to live a good life is also a way out. This is definitely more reassuring than being an adventurer.”

“But I still have to take the job.” Li Qing said again.

Blond salesgirl: “…”

It seems like all the things I said were in vain, right?

“Please help me change my job.” Li Qing said again. Seeing the salesgirl’s helpless face, he picked up the card himself and said, “I’ll do it myself.”

“Wait…” The blonde salesgirl wanted to say something, but Li Qing had already clicked the button to start work, so she had nothing to say.

Finally, he looked at the two of them, was silent for a while, and bowed: “Welcome to join the big family of adventurers, I wish you good luck in martial arts!”

It was a routine blessing here, but the blonde salesgirl said it weakly.

Because she thinks that the team of Li Qing and Kirisu Madoka can’t play any big role at all, and is just at the same level as cannon fodder, so the prosperity of martial arts sounds like irony, and it doesn’t make sense for her to say it herself, but this is their job, and she can’t do anything about it.

“Thank you!” Li Qing thanked with a smile.

The blonde salesgirl shook her head helplessly and glanced at the two of them: “You’re welcome.”

Li Qing smiled, and then took Kirisu Manfuyu to sit at a table not far away. The blonde salesgirl watched them sit down, and then watched them study the adventurer cards with great interest. The blonde salesgirl was helpless about this, and then shook her head and looked away.

“Go back to work.” He returned to his seat and waited for the next person to arrive.

Others have already made the decision, and there’s nothing she can do to help.

Li Qing and Kirisu Madoka were studying the cards. Kirisu Madoka was a little curious because Li Qing’s test result was barely qualified. Kirisu Madoka didn’t believe this at all. It was certain that Li Qing was not an ordinary person, but the attributes tested were those of ordinary people. So now Kirisu Madoka asked Li Qing: “Did you control the machine? That’s why the attributes became like that?”

Li Qing held the adventurer card in his hand and nodded with a smile: “Yes.”

“Why do you do this?” Kirisu Madoka asked again.

Li Qing smiled and said, “Because it’s not good to be too conspicuous, and adventurer is also a good profession. You can learn any skill like a jack of all trades, and if you develop well, you can be competent for any position, so being an adventurer is still okay.”

Kirisu Mafuyu glanced at her card and said, “Then you need someone to teach you the skills.”

“Let me learn yours first.” Li Qing said with a smile.

Kirisu Mafuyu glanced at him and said, “Don’t you know a lot of magic?”

“But I in this world can’t do that.” Li Qing smiled and pointed to the card in his hand: “The system is different, this is more interesting.”

Kirisu Madoka also looked at the cards in her hand and thought that this system was magical. It was obviously a real world, but there were such cards, and they also indicated experience points. This was just like the virtual world game she had played before. Experience points were needed to upgrade, and there were various professions, which were exactly the same as the settings of the game. So she was also curious, is this world really a gamified world?

The things around us that look real are actually all data?

Kirisu Madoka rubbed the table in front of her with her hands. The wood texture was very clear, and no two lines were the same. Then she remembered the giant frog meat she had eaten and the juice she had drunk before. She really ate them and now she still felt full and could savor the taste. Moreover, she opened the door with her physical body before coming here, and there was no feeling of connection like logging into a game, so this should be the real world.

So these cards and upgrades should just be a program, right?

She couldn’t figure out what the procedure was, but she understood it.

While Kirisu Madoka was thinking about all these random things, Li Qing was also thinking about something. He was not thinking about whether this world was digitized, but whether this world was the world he knew. He knew a world like this, and that world was his introduction to a comedy anime about another world, called God’s Blessing on this Beautiful World. It was a mudslide of anime about another world, with innumerable funny plots. When he watched it, he laughed so hard that his back teeth could be seen.

“What is that novice village?” he muttered.

A waitress walked by and Li Qing stopped her: “Excuse me, what is the name of this town?”

“It’s Axel.” The waitress said with a smile.

Li Qing thanked him: “Thank you.”

The waitress smiled and left.

Li Qing was still thinking: “That town is indeed called A-something.”

So this is probably the world that offers blessings for a better world, but neither Sato Kazuma nor Aqua is seen. Li Qing looked up at the ceiling, and his eyes seemed to pass through the ceiling and see the endless sky. Then he muttered, “Maybe he hasn’t been reincarnated yet.”

Then he retracted his gaze and said to Kirisu Madoka, “Let’s go take the mission.”

“Now?” asked Kirisu Madoka.

Li Qing nodded: “Right now.”

Kirisu Manfuyu had no objection, and stood up with Li Qing, and came to a bulletin board not far away. There were many task commissions on it. Those task commissions all had skulls on them. The more skulls there were, the more dangerous it was. Li Qing saw a commission that was covered with skulls. There were so many that he couldn’t even make out the words on it. However, Li Qing still took a closer look. He wanted to see what it was that was being subjugated, and it turned out to be a One-Strike Bear. From the name, you can tell that it is a powerful monster that nothing can withstand its attack. Li Qing sighed, then retracted his gaze. It would be better to let this dangerous monster stay there.

“I’m powerless now, so I have to rely on you to protect me.” Li Qing said to Kirisu Madoka.

Kirisu Madoka looked at him speechlessly: “I don’t have any skill points either.”

In short, she, a magician, is now a weakling and has no power at all.

“Then let’s find a mission that is not dangerous.” Li Qing said.

Kirisu Mafuyu hummed.

The two started searching on the panel, and finally found a job that didn’t require fighting monsters, but it did require physical effort. They had to go to the construction site to repair the city walls, carry various muds and bricks, and learn wall-building techniques. This made Li Qing suddenly think of what happened when Sato Kazuma and Aqua first came to this world. At that time, the two of them did repair the city walls for a while, and then ran to the other world to carry bricks. This was also the first time in an other world series.

Li Qing had no such plan. He didn’t want to come to another world to work as a bricklayer, and with Kirisu Manfuyu by his side, that made it even more impossible.

Then he looked at other tasks that didn’t require combat, but they were all teaching tasks, such as teaching children swordsmanship. Li Qing and his friends didn’t have these skills at all, so they could only watch. At this time, Kirisu Madoka saw a task: “Subjugating the giant frog?”

“Is this the giant frog we eat?” she asked Li Qing.

Li Qing thought about it, then nodded: “Most likely.”

Then he asked Kirisu Mafuyu, “You want to hunt this?”

“Frogs are gentle animals and shouldn’t be that dangerous,” said Kirisu Madoka.

Li Qing: “…”

That’s because you haven’t seen the scene where it swallows a person with its tongue. If you had seen it, you wouldn’t say such things.

But Li Qing didn’t remind him, he just smiled and said, “Then let’s do this.”

So the two of them took on the task of defeating five giant frogs.

“Let’s go!” Li Qing said with a smile.

The two left the Adventurer’s Guild and planned to head towards the grassland. Kirisu Madoka looked at her clothes. A small suit, a hip skirt, black tights and high heels. These were the clothes she wore to work, but now she was going to fight monsters. There was no doubt that this outfit was not suitable, so she turned to look at Li Qing and said, “Do you want to go back and change clothes first? Do you need to buy adventurer equipment?”

“I don’t have any money.” Li Qing said, “But I can change clothes.”

Because Kirisu Madoka’s current outfit is indeed not suitable for adventures here, and changing clothes is just a trip back, so she must spend money to buy them in this world.

Then Li Qing took Kirisu Mafuyu back home. In Kirisu Mafuyu’s apartment, Kirisu Mafuyu went back to the bedroom to change clothes. Li Qing waited outside, looked around and asked inside: “I thought you moved to a new place. Didn’t I give you a lot of gems before?”

Kirisu Mafuyu’s voice came from inside: “Those are useless, and I’m used to living here.”

“Is that so?” Li Qing smiled and then walked to the kitchen.

Li Qing found a kitchen knife and a sharp knife in the kitchen. He picked them all up, shook them in his hand twice, and then nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Kirisu Madoka had changed her clothes and came out. Her long cherry-colored hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was wearing a T-shirt and long pants, both of which were suitable for exercise. When she came out, she saw Li Qing weighing a kitchen knife, so she asked curiously, “Are you hungry?”

“No, it’s used as a weapon.” Li Qing said with a smile.

“Weapon? Is it okay?” She looked at the kitchen knife and had no idea how it could be used as a weapon.
