Zi Cheng also noticed the similarities between the virtual space and online games she remembered from Earth.

She wasn’t a player but she had read one or two novels about them.

So although her knowledge was limited she did understand the basics; in order to progress she had to find and complete missions for clues.

She said farewell to the group she travelled with, fully expecting to go forward alone, but to her dismay Yifu followed behind her.

Despite her annoyance she endured Yifu’s presence when she thought of the 95 points she had with the girl.

It was a large amount and she didn’t want to lose any.

The two walked around the city trying to find tasks to complete.

Unfortunately to their dismay they weren’t given any tasks despite talking to all the residents they came across.

Zi Cheng began to doubt her initial conjecture.

Maybe this wasn’t like an online game from Earth? They stopped at a bulletin board and a notice caught her eye.

The posting, from a weapon shop, was looking for an enchanted sword with a third rank magical beast core.

The reward was gold.

What caught Zi Cheng’s eye was the bonus.

On top of the monetary reward there was an additional thank you gift for anyone who caught a large third rank magical ape beast for the core.

There were many other similar notices on the board from shops that required running errands.

Many clever children also saw and guessed they could gain clues to the treasure map this way as well; as a result many requests were handed out in a short period of time.

Not everyone opted for this route though.

Some preferred to try their luck by looking for the treasure maps directly instead of relying on reward clues.

Feng Wu was the only one who didn’t do either.

She was busy chomping away on her tenth meat bun while going around purchasing supplies.

So far she had purchased a tent, a fire starter, and a water bag; they were all things that would be useful for traveling through the wilderness outside.

After filling her water bag with water from the river she found a cheap hotel to spend the night.

The shopkeeper smiled when he saw her heading over.

“Little girl, do you want to buy more buns?” Her spending ability really impressed him.

If only everyone spent like her his family would be rich.

magicOnce Feng Wu reached the stall she looked at the shopkeeper and seriously spoke.

“Mister do you know how to get to the library?” “Library?” The shopkeeper wiped his oily hands on his apron twice before answering.

“We have a library in the city but it’s not free.

One silver coin per hour.

If you want to read books, just go to the bookstores instead.

It would be cheaper.

The library is expensive.” “Thank you but I want the library.” Feng Wu was adamant.

It seemed she wasn’t willing to listen to his suggestion.

Since she was set on it he called his seven year old son over.

This son was a plump mischievous boy.

“Here, take this girl to the library.” The boy didn’t want to do it for free so he tried to haggle with his father.

“What do I get out of it? I want chicken a leg.” The shopkeeper wanted to slap his son for being so greedy, but before he could Feng Wu pulled out a chicken drumstick from her storage bag and handed it to the boy.

Since it was already done he couldn’t say anything about it and just told them to get going.

The boy was very happy with Feng Wu’s straightforward personality.

He led her through several alley ways before entering a beautiful building.

The building itself was a shop that sold an assortment of magic weapons and items.

He brought her inside and led her to the rear of the shop.

Everything they passed looked unusual and rare with an appropriate price tag attached.

The boy didn’t bring Feng Wu to the store to shop though.

The library was located in a secret basement so finding it without a guide would have been difficult, probably impossible without a good amount of luck.

He led her to the rear of the building toward a staircase.
