Creating a Different World - Chapter 2592

[Chapter 2592 Entering the City]

” Cohen, are you up?” The next morning, Julian knocked on the door again.

Since he had been “cured” by Nana, Jia Zhengjin didn’t need to pretend anymore and went over to open the door.

Nana stood quietly behind Julian outside the door.

“Are you ready to go to the city?” Seeing that he seemed to be fine, Julian pointed to the strong man on the side of the road who was confirming that there was no problem with the ox cart.

That was Julian’s father, Suolang, the owner of the village grocery store. Sometimes he also helped people repair ironware to earn some extra money.

Suolang didn’t send his daughter to school every day. He only sent her there when he needed to go to the city to buy goods occasionally. He was usually very busy. Anyway, the village was not too far from Tongshan City, and the people in the village were used to walking. Rural people were not as delicate as those nobles. A few hours’ journey was no problem, let alone this distance?

Today, I happened to be going to the city to buy goods, which meant I could take a ride.

Jia Zhengjin nodded immediately: “It’s ready!”

Anyway, everything he needed was in his virtual backpack, and there was nothing in his house. The secret under the bed was very safe. Unless someone suddenly wanted to tear down his house and the floor, they would never find the underground studio.

As Julian and Nana came to the side of the ox cart, Solang turned his head and smiled at him: “Morning, Cohen!”

“Good morning, Uncle Solang!” Jia Zhengjin answered in Cohen’s tone, watching Julian help Nana sit on the ox cart, and followed.

“Okay, let’s go!” Solang waited until they were all seated, then he went to the front of the ox cart and whipped the ox’s back.

“Gulu Gulu~” The ox immediately took a step forward, and the wooden wheels of the cart made a dull sound on the uneven stone ground.

“Cohen, are you healed?” Solang asked without turning his head while driving the ox cart on the road.

The bottom of the ox cart was covered with thick straw, which acted as a shock absorber, so the buttocks didn’t hurt. Jia Zhengjin was looking at the surrounding scenery. Hearing this, he immediately replied: “It’s all healed! Fortunately, Julian’s classmate has a very powerful healing skill!”

Nana was a little embarrassed when she heard this: “No! My teacher can heal such an injury with one healing skill, but I need three.”

“It’s already very impressive!” Julian hugged her and smiled, “You are the most outstanding student in the pastoral department this year! By the way, after graduation, will you team up with me for adventures?”

“Okay!”

“Then it’s settled!”

“Yeah”

The two girls seemed to have a good relationship and were chatting happily.

After Solang asked a question, he became quiet again, and Jia Zhengjin continued to stare at the surrounding scenery in a daze.

After a while, Julian touched his calf with a magic wand: “Cohen!”

“Hmm?” Jia Zhengjin came back to his senses and looked at her in confusion.

“After school today, I’m going to attend Martin’s farewell ceremony with Nana, other teachers and classmates.” Julian said, “Can you wait for me for a while, and go back to the village together after the ceremony is over?”

“This,” Jia Zhengjin hesitated, “but I’m going to take an exploration mission today. The destination is a bit far, and I may not be able to come back.”

“Exploration mission?” Julian was very surprised: “Don’t you only do the simplest small tasks in or near the city? Like collecting, delivering letters, doing hard labor, etc. Exploration missions are dangerous, and you may even lose your life if you are unlucky!”

Not only Julian, but Solang and Nana were also surprised by his words.

“Cohen, why are you suddenly so excited and saying such nonsense?” Solang has watched Cohen grow up since he was a child, and he actually knows that this child has no talent for being an adventurer. He is weaker than ordinary people and can’t learn anything. Later, he joined the Adventurer’s Guild to make a living, and could only do the lowest-level jobs that no one wants to do, and save a little to live on. If he wants to explore like this, it’s basically sending him to death!

Exploration missions are to collect and confirm intelligence at designated locations. They are usually issued by the guild and go to some undeveloped areas. For example, primitive forests and deserts that no one has ever been to, or some strange caves, tombs, and questionable areas that have not been confirmed.

Although exploration missions are also divided into levels, low-level adventurers like Cohen have low-risk areas suitable for him. But after all, it is an unknown area, and miscalculations often occur.

The result of miscalculations is that places that are considered low-risk areas are found to have uncertain factors such as deadly mechanisms and high-risk creatures after exploration.

There are countless adventurers who die every year because of this situation, so it is particularly worrying.

“Yes, Cohen!” Julian also frowned and said, “Exploration missions are not something you can complete alone. If you are lucky, it’s okay, but miscalculations often happen. If you really encounter a dangerous area, you will not be able to come back alive! In my opinion, do as much as you can. The villagers will not look down on you because you can only do the lowest-level adventure missions. In fact, we are still very grateful to you, because many times when the village needs labor, you can also take on tasks to help.”

“I know that I am not very capable,” Jia Zhengjin said, “That is why I have to work hard to change. In the past, I was content with the status quo. As long as I had food, drink and a roof over my head, it was enough. However, I recently realized that this is not what I want! I also want to become stronger, I also want a better life, and I also want to be a more powerful adventurer! After fighting with the seriously injured Gis dog, I suddenly found myself eager to fight, eager to fight with more powerful monsters and enemies! So, starting today, I will change myself and challenge more dangerous tasks. Therefore, I may not be able to wait for you to go home together leisurely like before. Moreover, Martin’s matter also reminded me that we are all grown up now, and there must be many excellent suitors around you. We were playmates in childhood, but at this time, your suitors will regard me as an opponent. It is even possible to do the same thing as Martin. I didn’t die this time, it was purely luck. I can’t say for sure next time!”

Julian was silent when he heard this.

“Actually, things like this don’t happen easily. Not everyone would do that.” Nana naturally knew about Cohen’s injury, so she whispered.

“But we can’t be sure, right?” Jia Zhengjin shrugged, “Julian and I won’t think about it. There may be male classmates in your academy who have feelings for her like Martin. And a rubbish adventurer like me who can only do the lowest-level tasks to make a living is just an ant that they can step on to death. As long as I get in the way, they will get rid of me without hesitation. So, on the one hand, I am thinking about myself, and on the other hand, I don’t want to affect Julian!”

“You’ve all grown up~” Solang, who was driving the ox cart, waved the whip with emotion, making a crisp sound.
