Chapter 132 Qi Xinyang's Daily Life. - Just Learning Skills 1

The previous chapter mentioned that Qi Xinyang came to see the chief in the morning. She came to learn from the chief how to use the double-headed weapon that looked like a "bow".

Unlike what Qi Xinyang had thought before, the chief did not teach Qi Xinyang how to use the weapon step by step, but directly took out a secret book and handed it to Qi Xinyang.

Even though it has been a while since he came to this strange world, Qi Xinyang still cannot understand the language of this strange world.

The chief said to Qi Xinyang, "Look, how detailed it is written in this secret book. That's..." Then, he pointed at the secret book and began to brag to Qi Xinyang.

Since the chief's boasting is too long-winded, we will omit the content.

Although Qi Xinyang could hear the chief bragging about the "secret book" in her ears, she couldn't understand a single word he said. She could only nod and respond with "Hmm, Hmm, Hmm!"

The chief didn't know that Qi Xinyang was "illiterate". If he knew a little, he wouldn't have bothered to brag about it.

I don’t know how long it took, but after he finished bragging, the chief immediately stretched out his right hand to Qi Xinyang.

When Qi Xinyang saw the chief extending his right hand towards him, he handed the secret book back.

The chief pushed the secret book away and said to Qi Xinyang, "Hey—that's not it."

Qi Xinyang immediately understood the chief's intention: "I'll have to pay extra!" She asked him, "Really? Just looking at the secret manual is going to cost extra? Aren't there too many fees on this mountain?" As she finished speaking, she thought to herself, "How can this be like a vacation..."

What can we do? That’s why we say “don’t show off your wealth”.

The chief, noticing Qi Xinyang had a bit of extra cash on hand today, simply asked for an extra fee. He hadn't taken all of Qi Xinyang's bag of money earlier, and he felt a bit resentful. To put it bluntly, the chief was simply blinded by money.

The chief stroked his beard and said to Qi Xinyang, "If that's what you're saying, then you can't say that. I'm giving you this secret manual, and I have to collect some 'manufacturer' fees on behalf of our ancestors."

Qi Xinyang looked speechless and asked the chief, "How much does it cost?"

The chief did not directly tell Qi Xinyang a specific price, but told Qi Xinyang, "This is an heirloom from our ancestors, the only copy in the world. I have made a decision that goes against our ancestors! Alas..." After saying that, he lowered his head slightly and looked out the window again.

At this moment, the chief looked as if he had done something to let down his ancestors, and his expression looked a little "sad".

Qi Xinyang naturally didn't believe the chief's lies. But then she thought, "Look at the pictures in this secret book, they can't be fake. It's good to have it with me so I can check it at any time. After all, no one knows how to do this, and if I don't understand or forget something, I have no one to ask..." With this in mind, she had no choice but to pay.

There was originally half of the money left in the purse that Qi Xinyang brought, but for the sake of this "secret book", she had to hand it all over.

After contentedly collecting the money, the chief began to drink some water. After all, he had spent too much time and effort "selling" the secret book, and now he needed to drink water quickly.

After the chief finished his glass of water, he said to Qi Xinyang, "Also, the weapons I'll make for you three will also be charged. But, you can wait until the weapons are made before giving them to me."

When Qi Xinyang heard about weapon crafting, she immediately thought of the forging masters in the capital. She thought to herself, "If I ask the forge to create another weird weapon again, I'm sure people will criticize me later. Better not to ask them..."

Qi Xinyang asked the chief, "Are the weapons you make here any good?"

The chief told Qi Xinyang, "That's for sure! Our weapons are all custom-made, and we don't cheat anyone!"

Qi Xinyang asked the chief again, "The weapons that are forged should be sharpened, right?"

The chief told Qi Xinyang, "Don't worry! That's for sure. The ones you use for practice are unsharpened. If we only sold the unsharpened ones, we wouldn't have to find a skilled old man to make weapons." After that, he continued to pour water.

Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "Learning and selling things at the same time, why does this sound like some off-campus art training institution?" Thinking of this, she asked the chief, "Oh—so that old man in the weapons room, was he hired specifically by you to make weapons?"

The chief hummed, took another sip of water, and then told Qi Xinyang, "Every tribe must have a person like this, otherwise we won't be able to compete with other tribes in attracting people to learn. So the weapons we make are mainly purchased by the tribesmen who come to the tribe to learn."

Then, the chief took another sip of water and said to Qi Xinyang, "After you leave the tribe, if you can help us open up sales channels outside, we can cooperate. Hahahahaha..."

Why did the chief tell Qi Xinyang all this? Because everyone in the other world knew that the Gaoren were the best at business. In the eyes of other races, the Gaoren were natural merchants. The chief wanted to use Qi Xinyang's help to expand the tribe's weapons trade.

Qi Xinyang immediately revealed his "natural businessman" nature and asked the chief, "Then... can I take a cut?"

The chief smiled cheerfully, gave Qi Xinyang a cold look, and said, "That depends on how much you can sell for us, girl."

Seeing that the chief had no intention of revealing it in advance, Qi Xinyang said to him, "Oh - let's talk about it later! In the short term, I have no plans to return to Stilas Odin." As she said this, she almost failed to say the name of the country "Stilas Odin" correctly.

The chief continued to smile cheerfully and said to Qi Xinyang, "Okay then. But if you really find a sales channel in the future, don't forget us! Since you're studying here, this place will be half your home from now on!"

Qi Xinyang thought for a moment and asked the chief, "Speaking of this 'half home', what are the benefits?"

The chief turned around and asked Qi Xinyang, "Girl, look! If it were any other outsiders, we wouldn't let them in! Isn't this the benefit of having 'half a home' for you?" Everyone who heard this understood that he had no intention of making less money from Qi Xinyang.

Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "Good grief! After all this talk, there's nothing!" Even at that point, she didn't show any disappointment. She calmly said to the chief, "Okay then! When I get back to St...Las Odin, I'll see if there's a way to sell bows." Then, she looked up at the ceiling, pretending to be lost in thought.

Although Qi Xinyang's words were perfunctory, she still tried her best to make it sound as if she wasn't being perfunctory.

Having said that, Qi Xinyang had actually thought of the half-elf owner of the grocery store in the royal capital. If she really wanted to do this resale business, her first choice would definitely be to find the owner of the grocery store as a partner.

Then, the chief said to Qi Xinyang, "It took me a lot of effort to find this secret book! You don't know how long I searched in the study before I found it..."

After that, the chief and Qi Xinyang basically just chatted, and there was nothing too important to say.

After a while, the conversation came to an end. The chief said to Qi Xinyang, "If you want to find equipment or mechanisms for practicing weapons, you can ask the little rascal. She knows everything."

Hearing this, Qi Xinyang remembered the first day she came to this tribe. At that time, the little rascal introduced her to an automatic arrow shooting mechanism.

Qi Xinyang thought to himself, "So that mechanism isn't just for archery practice, it's also for other things. But that mechanism isn't so much archery practice as it is for dodging arrows. But why do they have to practice dodging arrows? Could it be that the election of the 'Martial Arts Leader' between their tribes involves archery duels?"

Then after saying goodbye to the chief, Qi Xinyang left.

After Qi Xinyang walked out the door, she thought to herself, "I never expected this... This place is even more deceptive than those unscrupulous tourist attractions... Fortunately, I have so much money that I can't spend it all." Thinking of this, she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Although the chief had offered Qi Xinyang some water, she had been so preoccupied with her thoughts that she hadn't even had a sip. She'd paid the money but hadn't even had a sip of water. It seemed like she'd lost money on this trip.

Not long after Qi Xinyang left, Yingping Youzi came to the chief.

Yingping Youzi saw that the chief looked troubled. She asked him, "What's wrong, father? What are you thinking about?"

The chief came back to his senses after being called by his daughter.

The chief sighed and told Yingping Youzi, "The little girl from the foreign tribe just now came. I gave her a secret book."

Yingping Youzi suddenly became very nervous and asked the chief, "What secret book? Which one?"

The chief told Yingping Youzi, "It's the one that no one studies." After saying that, he took another sip of water.

Yingping Youzi felt relieved, but then turned to complaining. She said to the chief, "Oh, you scared me! Just give it to me! That weapon isn't practical." Then she immediately asked the chief, "Are the secret books...free?"

Yingping Youzi guessed that her father might be unhappy because he didn't receive the money.

The chief told Yingping Youzi, "Although the money has been received, but..." At this point, he hesitated to speak.

Yingping Youzi then asked the chief, "Are you regretting not selling a few more useless copies?"

The chief told Yingping Youzi, "It's not useless at all! Don't talk nonsense. Oh, you don't know the inside story."

Yingping Youzi asked the chief again, "If you couldn't bear to sell it, why didn't you make a copy beforehand and keep it?"

The chief told Yingping Youzi, "These are things that only a chief would know. I'll tell you when you become a chief."

Yingping Youzi said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

After leaving the chief, Qi Xinyang skipped his morning run. Of the three of them, only You Ke went for a morning run today. Xiaojiao was involved in the "morning sweep" every day, which meant sweeping the floor early in the morning.

Since Qi Xinyang didn't go for a morning run, where did she go? Of course, she went straight back to her room. As expected, when she entered the room, she didn't see the two younger brothers, but saw Xiaoye alone in the room, so she teased Xiaoye for a while.

Oddly enough, Qi Xinyang initially thought Xiaoye was too ugly and lacked cuteness. But after spending more time with him, she began to find Xiaoye more appealing. She'd simply gotten used to him after seeing him for so long.

Then, before breakfast time, she lay on her bed in her room, reading the secret book. Although she couldn't understand the otherworldly characters on the book, there were some pictures on it. As she looked at the few pictures in the book, her imagination began to run wild.

Qi Xinyang was lying on the bed and thought to herself, "It turns out that the weapons here have secret manuals. So, I guess there are secret manuals for that double-headed sword as well. How about I buy another one before I leave?" She was actually mistaking the chief for a bookseller.

People are like this. Once they think something is useful, they will keep spending money on the same thing. Although Qi Xinyang can't understand the language of the other world, the little feet beside her can understand it. She can ask when the time comes.

After lying in the room for a short while, Qi Xinyang went to have breakfast.

You Ke, who was already having breakfast, saw Qi Xinyang coming and immediately asked Qi Xinyang, "Sister! You didn't even come for the morning run! Are you still going to the morning exercise later?"

Qi Xinyang sat down next to You Ke and told You Ke, "Go! I thought the chief was going to teach me, but he just gave me a book."

Qi Xinyang had originally planned to "study" with the chief in the morning and had not planned to go for morning exercises with her two younger brothers. But now the situation has changed, she has no choice but to change her original plan.

Sitting nearby and eating breakfast, Xiaojiao asked Qi Xinyang, "The chief asked you to practice according to the book? What does the book say?"

After hearing Xiaojiao's question, Qi Xinyang looked at Xiaojiao who asked the question with an unhappy expression.

When Xiaojiao saw Qi Xinyang staring at him, he finally realized that he had forgotten for a moment that Qi Xinyang was "illiterate".

Seeing that Xiaojiao had lowered her head and was eating breakfast silently, Qi Xinyang told Xiaojiao in a unhappy tone, "I haven't read it yet!" Then, she thought to herself, "I originally wanted to ask this kid what was written in the book, but it's almost morning exercise. If I ask in the courtyard, everyone here will know that I can't read. Then the lie I told on the first day will be exposed..."

This brings us back to their first day in the mountains. To get the chief to take her in, Qi Xinyang made up a lie. She said she came here because she saw the words "Yinshan Sect" on Shenshou Mountain, and that this tribe was called "Yinshan Sect." She made up this lie because she originally wanted to stay and learn the archery skills here.

Qi Xinyang was very glad that she did not expose her "illiterateness" to the chief just now. When the chief was bragging about the secret book just now, she was thinking hard about how to pretend that she could understand the secret book.

So at this moment, Qi Xinyang could only put aside the matter of "translating" the secret book. Afterwards, she also went to the compound, intending to wait until noon to ask about the secret book of bound feet.
