What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 147 Qi Xinyang's daily life. - Just learning a skill? The difference between long and s

As mentioned in the previous chapter, Coach Tuo Lierdi saw that Qi Xinyang learned things very quickly, so he planned to teach her more things on an individual basis.

Coach Tuo Lierdi then said to Qi Xinyang, "You can learn the stick flower together with the long stick later. I will teach you how to 'roll the stick' first."

Qi Xinyang asked coach Tuo Lierdi, "Are you saying it's difficult to practice 'Stick Flower' and 'Stick Pan' with a long stick?"

Coach Tuo Lierdi told Qi Xinyang, "You're right. Whether it's 'stick flower' or 'stick pan', it's easier to practice with a shorter stick. Practice it until you're proficient, then switch to a longer stick. That way you won't accidentally injure yourself."

Afterwards, coach Tuo Lierdi demonstrated ten different stick-playing techniques to Qi Xinyang one by one, and Qi Xinyang memorized them all after watching them once.

After finishing the training, coach Tuo Lierdi said to Qi Xinyang, "Alright! That's about it for these ten different stick-playing techniques!"

Qi Xinyang didn't say a word and directly performed all the moves that coach Tuo Lierdi had just demonstrated.

After finishing his move, Qi Xinyang said to his coach Tuo Lierdi, "This staff feels very practical. The moves are fast to launch and close, and the attack is continuous."

Coach Tuolierdi said to Qi Xinyang, "That's true. But you don't need to think too much about this weapon. This is just to train the dexterity of your hands. You should focus your mind and body on the weapon you choose. That way you can master it faster."

Coach Tuo Lierdi also made a guess based on the length of the weapon before deciding to let Qi Xinyang get familiar with the short stick. He didn't plan to teach this at the beginning.

Afterwards, Qi Xinyang, who had nothing better to do, practiced the stick again, becoming more and more proficient. There was no other way, no matter how fast she learned, she still had to wait for her two younger brothers.

After Xiaojiao and Youke had practiced with the long staff, coach Tuolierdi said to Qi Xinyang and the others, "Alright! Next, let's start learning how to perform 'Staff Flower'! There are two types of stick flower: two-handed and one-handed. Judging from the weapons you chose, the two-handed stick flower will be more practical. So you should practice the two-handed stick flower more. A simple understanding of the one-handed stick flower is enough."

After a brief explanation, Coach Tuo Lierdi immediately demonstrated several methods of double-handed stick flower. Qi Xinyang and the others were dazzled and applauded.

After watching it, Xiaojiao said to coach Tuolierdi, "No, coach. This stick is too long. I hit it on the ground." As he said that, he took the long stick and demonstrated.

It was just as Xiaojiao said, his stick couldn't even be used to play tricks, and it hit the ground before it even started to spin.

After watching, Coach Tuolierdi thought to himself, "That's right, they are not tall, so it is really not suitable for them to practice stick flowers with long sticks." Thinking of this, he said to Xiaojiao and Youke, "You should switch to short sticks as well."

Just like that, Xiaojiao and Youke also changed to short sticks.

This is called a short stick, but in fact, when held in the hand by bound feet, it can be regarded as a stick at eyebrow level. Think about it, he is only 1.3 meters tall, and the short sticks they use for practice are at least 1.2 meters long.

At this time, coach Tuo Lierdi said to Qi Xinyang and the others, "You don't need to be as fast with the stick flower as I was just now, because your weapons themselves can't be swung too fast. Be careful and don't hurt yourself when you wield them."

The first to be trained was Xiaojiao. Coach Tuolierdi took one look and said to her, "Not bad! Among the dwarves, your wrists are quite flexible."

After finishing the small feet training, it was You Ke's turn next. The results of his training seemed similar, both were done at the same slow speed.

The last one was Qi Xinyang. Although her coach Tuo Lierdi told her not to go too fast, she kept getting faster and faster, which made the people around her applaud.

Seeing that everyone practiced well, coach Tuolierdi began to teach the "one-handed stick flower", and several people practiced it smoothly.

Just like that, after everyone practiced for a while, Qi Xinyang and his friends' morning exercise ended.

Coach Tuo Lierdi said to Qi Xinyang and the others, "Alright! That's all for today's morning practice! We've been covering a lot these past few days, so let's stick with it for the next few days. The more you practice, the more flexible your hands and feet will become. Once you're pretty proficient, I'll start teaching you the weapons of your choice."

The "weapons of your choice" that coach Tuolierdi mentioned here of course refers to Xiaojiao and Youke. Qi Xinyang had already learned the "Double Moon Hook Blade Bow" of his choice under the "guidance" of Xiaohuatou.

It's afternoon now, and there's not much to talk about. Everything is the same as usual.

After doing some additional strength training, Qi Xinyang went to the second floor of the warehouse alone to practice the "Double Moon Hook Blade Bow" and the Chief's boxing, and then used the short sticks in the warehouse to practice the stick coiling and stick flowers that he had just learned in the morning.

The situation in the next few days was similar. Qi Xinyang and the others practiced long sticks and two-handed stick flowers, so there was nothing more to say here.

Next, let’s talk about You Jiahui. We haven’t talked about her for many days. Now let me talk about her situation.

As mentioned in the previous chapter, the mansion on You Jiahui's territory is under construction, and today is the last day of finishing. She has not left since she arrived in the morning until all the finishing work is completed.

It was already afternoon, and the supervisors and construction workers had already left. Fortunately, the situation that we had worried about before, that the mansion would not be completed and that additional construction time would be required, did not happen.

You Jiahui was standing at the door of the mansion and was about to leave when two people came unexpectedly. They were Di Wuan and Torsi.

You Jiahui, who saw the two from afar, smiled early and thought, "Why are they here? Could it be..."

After Di Wuan and Torsi arrived, they immediately greeted You Jiahui together and said: Sir Knight!

You Jiahui asked the two members of the adventure team, "You came here today, is there any news from Uribian?"

Torsi told You Jiahui, "Not yet. I haven't seen him in the city for many days. He must have gone out."

You Jiahui crossed her arms and muttered, "It's been seventeen days, and still no news..." A look of worry crossed her face. Then she turned to the two members of the adventure team, "So you guys must have come here for something else, right?"

Torsi and Di Wuan looked at each other, their faces showing awkward expressions.

Torsi stammered and told You Jiahui, "We...had a small problem, from now on...we can only rely on the Lord Knight!" As he said that, he and Di Wuan half-knelt in front of You Jiahui.

Seeing this sudden "surrender," You Jiahui was naturally confused. She thought, "What's going on? Did you get into trouble..." Thinking of this, she became a little angry. She asked the two members of the adventure team, "What have you been doing these past few days?"

Torsi and Di Wuan looked at each other again, their expressions still very awkward, and they stammered for a long time without saying a single useful word.

Seeing the two people kneeling on the ground hesitating, You Jiahui said to them, "Get up first!"

After hearing this, Torsi and Di Wuan both slowly stood up.

Seeing that the two people in front of her seemed to be at a loss for words, You Jiahui said to them, "In that case, why don't you just stay in this mansion tonight? There's still some food in the kitchen. The supervisors and construction workers are gone, so you can help me keep an eye on this place. Otherwise, I'm afraid... the 'furniture' in the house will get lost."

After hearing this, the two members of the adventure team realized that You Jiahui was referring to the "treasure chest" brought out from the dungeon, and immediately agreed.

You Jiahui briefly explained the specific situation of the mansion to the two members of the adventure team, then rode back to the capital alone, leaving the two of them to watch over the mansion.

You Jiahui wasn't a very enthusiastic person in the past, as could be seen from their initial conversation. However, she was already somewhat familiar with the three members of the adventure team, and she also had a secret about a "dungeon treasure chest," so it was difficult to just send them away.

So You Jiahui simply kept them for the time being, thinking that she would make a decision on whether they should stay or go after she had a clearer understanding of the situation.

So what happened to these two people in the adventure team? We have to jump back a few days to talk about it. Let’s not go into details about the specific day, just flashback.

For example, a few days ago, one afternoon, Diwuan and Torsi finished their lunch and sat for a long time before leaving the tavern together. Standing on the street, they looked worried and sighed.

Torsi said to Di Wuan, "Captain, this isn't going to work. We simply can't do the new 'private work' that young noble has entrusted us with."

Di Wuan said to Torsi, "Let's go clean up the raided dungeons. The price we're offered is enough to last us a lifetime..."

Torsi lowered his voice and said to Di Wuan, "Captain, keep your voice down. We are not allowed to enter those dungeons that have been cleared. The reward is high, but this one is too difficult. There are still mid-level and high-level monsters left there. If there are only low-level monsters left, then we can still give it a try."

The two men paused for a moment, and then Di Wuan said to Torsi, "I didn't understand what you said before about why the noble young master wanted us to do this."

Torsi lowered his voice and said to Di Wuan, "The underground city we're clearing..." He glanced around and then added, "I secretly checked, and the mine there happens to belong to the family of that noble young master. Hush..." He gestured, "Keep your voice down."

Only then did Di Wuan understand the whole story. It turned out that the young nobleman had given them this "private job" in order to dig the mine in the underground city as soon as possible.

Di Wuan said to Torsi, "I've heard about the mines before. It seems the nobles are fighting over the land."

Torsi said to Diwuan, "The mines should be unavailable for grabbing. They were already divided up before this. They're using the undevelopable land to exchange for the already conquered parts of the dungeon."

Di Wuan said to Torsi, "Noble affairs are too complicated, so I won't discuss them. I was thinking that if I could earn some money from this 'private work', I'd go back to the Dwarven Kingdom and find someone to help me upgrade my skills. After that, we'd be able to barely fight mid-level monsters. But who could have imagined..."

When the two men said this, they began to sigh again.

We mentioned a long time ago that since the dungeons near the capital were conquered by Qi Xinyang, adventurers who relied on dungeon quests had to go to more distant and dangerous dungeons. Naturally, this also led to some adventurers no longer accepting dungeon-related quests for safety reasons.

After a while, Torsi said to Di Wuan, "How about we follow the Knight from now on? It seems like this dungeon is getting more and more difficult to survive in."

Diwuan asked Torsi, "But will the knight take us in?"

Torsi told Di Wuan in a tone of uncertainty: "I think so."

Di Wuan nodded and said to Torsi, "After all, we are so familiar with each other..."

Torsi said to Diwuan, "It's not just because of familiarity. The Knight is a newly ennobled noble, so her power and prestige naturally can't compare to those of the old nobles. There probably won't be many people seeking to join her. If we go, we might not be a burden; we might even be a help."

Di Wuan said to Torsi: "Let's wait until it's really impossible. Let me think about it..."

At this moment, the two men happened to see several people walking past them while talking.

I only heard those people talking to each other, "I finally have some free time!", "Let's go to that gambling house again today and win big again!", "Let's go, go, go!"

After watching those people leave, Torsi and Di Wuan looked at each other and followed them tacitly.

I'll skip the rest of the story, there's not much to say. That's how gambling works. There are always good and bad days, but when you're unlucky, you lose everything.

Because gamblers are like that. The more they win, the more they believe their luck is improving, and the more they want to gamble. The more they lose, the more they believe their luck can be changed, and the more they want to gamble. They simply can't stop. In short, the more they lose, the more they lose, until they lose everything.

Don’t even mention those tricks and mathematics. Those who can always win money and never lose money at the gambling table are not the ones who are honestly competing with you on “luck”. They must know “something”.

The two were left with nothing, their weapons and armor pawned, and they starved for days in the capital. They had originally planned to fight Eurypion for a few days, but Eurypion never returned to the capital.

Torsi's face was filled with worry, like a melon, and he couldn't say a word. He just kept sucking his teeth and making "tsk tsk tsk" sounds. He thought for a long time before saying to Diwuan, "How about we go find the knight!"

Di Wuan, who was squatting by the wall, looked up and asked Torsi, "The one we talked about before?"

Torsi told Diwuan, "Otherwise... well, there's no other way. We don't have the tools to hunt. We can't farm, and we don't know how to do it. Stealing..."

Di Wuan immediately interrupted Torsi and said to him, "No, no! It would be so embarrassing to get caught! I should have known not to pawn my weapons... Oh, I shouldn't have gone to the gambling house!"

Torsi said to Diwuan, "It's no use talking about this now. Let's think about it later."

So, the two of them were really hungry until today, and after some discussion, they came to You Jiahui's mansion. Fortunately, they had been to the mansion before and knew the way, otherwise they would have been at the end of the road in the true sense of the word.

Well, this side story flashback ends here, and we will get back to the main topic in the next chapter.
