《New World - New Beginning》Chapter 8: Things don't always work out the way you want them to.
Advertisement
Once I got back to the guild, I handed in the two quests I took this morning; the farm work one was no problem because I only had to show her the finishing stamp that Eliot placed, but when I handed in the 300 silora herbs from the other quest.
It was a different story; the receptionist's face looked like a goldfish; I had to hold my laughter while waiting for the copper coins to be paid.
The receptionist thought I would only give her 20 or 30 at the most, but I didn't know what to say when I opened my inventory and pulled out all the stock I had accumulated.
In my defence, nowhere in the mission did it say that it accepted only a limit of silora herbs, so don't make me feel guilty.
But remembering their bitter faces at the reception made me feel guilty. They had to pack all the herbs to send them since this mission was coming from another city, and they couldn't ask an adventurer for fear of them being kept or stolen along the way.
Really, who would be desperate enough to steal those herbs? You have to be pathetic.
Okay, leaving that experience aside, let's move on to other matters, which is looking for the inn and bathing; if I remember correctly, the inn that looks like a fancy restaurant was around this part.
After a few minutes of searching, I find the inn - restaurant; now that it is getting dark and the street lights are starting to turn on, the place looks more attractive to the eye.
It is worth noting that the illuminated plants and that balcony make it look like a luxury beach hut; if I had a lot of money, I don't think I would mind living here forever.
After admiring the exterior appearance for a few seconds, I enter the inn - restaurant. It is like a hotel, there are three tables on both sides, and a group that seems to be a couple is sitting and talking, while in front is a reception with stairs on the left side.
I quietly approach the reception, and a young man greets me warmly.
Good evening, would you like a table for one or more people? Actually, I would like a room to stay in. No problem, it would be ten copper coins, including bathroom, 1 set of toiletries, and breakfast. PERFECT! Could you give me a room? Of course, please note that breakfast is only available until 8:00 AM, so if you're one minute late, you won't be able to order it. Got it.
Happily, I pay the ten copper coins; on Earth, some hotels don't include breakfast, so I'm okay with that.
Once I pay the price, the guy hands me a key with a wooden board with the number 2 engraved on it.
By the way, how much is dinner. It costs two copper coins. Thank you very much; I'll be down for dinner in a few minutes.

Okay, it's time to take a bath; I go upstairs and enter the room, I would like to say home sweet home, but I remember that I am no longer in my world; in a sense, it gives me a sense of melancholy.
To my good or bad luck, I don't have parents, as for my friends, if you can call them that, well after finishing college they didn't contact me or anything, luckily I didn't have any pets. However, I used some of my work money to feed any animal I found on the street so that they may miss me.
Wow, I didn't have anyone on my side after all.
Okay, let's stop thinking about those sad things, better take a bath and go downstairs to eat.
After taking a bath and changing, I go downstairs and start eating; the place is already beginning to fill up. Luckily, I don't delay; I order dinner and start eating while I try to listen to what they say around me.
I don't do this because I'm curious; it's just that it's impossible not to listen if they talk very loudly.
After I finish eating, I go up to my room; in the end, the only redeemable thing from everything I heard is about the goblins that are still roaming around the forest, no matter how many have been killed.
If we combine this with the information I heard from those adventurers of the guild, it means that it's been a long time; maybe something is causing more goblins than usual.
Let's stop thinking about that; let's move on to other points.
I take out my notebook and see what I have on the list.
Learn about this world (X) Get a job (?) Learn the inventory limit. ( ) Buy sweet fruits and ropes to catch the Woolly Boar. ( )
First of all, I need to know what is the inventory limit; at the moment, I only know that:
I can't keep anything alive. It is categorized into five sections (Weapons - Equipment - Specials - Consumables - Materials). You can accumulate objects with the same characteristics, but I don't know the maximum. Clothes for daily use are not placed in the unique items section but the equipment section. You can see how much money you have by looking at the bottom of your inventory.
I have 0 - 0 - 2 - 51, which is equivalent to 251 copper coins.
While the inventory is beneficial, I think I should buy a backpack, mainly to have separate items that I will use in critical moments; I don't want to be in the middle of a fight and spend time looking for an item.
Damn, I'm getting sleepy already; well, let's leave all this for tomorrow; I deserve a rest; good night, world.
The following day I wake up; according to the clock in the room, it's 7:32 AM; I still haven't missed my complimentary breakfast!!!!
After showering and changing, I go downstairs and order my breakfast, consisting of coffee, juice, eggs and toast.

After that, I brush my teeth and go to the fruit and vegetable area where I was yesterday with Eliot and buy six guavas, then I use the "αβΩ SYSTEM" and buy the cheapest strings I have and buy 3 meters.
We are heading to the lord's farm and his Woolly Boar; I took the mission yesterday, and I know where it is, so I head east, but a little more to the left.
After 20 minutes of walking, I find the place, and I find the farm of the boar owner; I knock on the door, and the gentleman who I think is the owner attends to me.
Good morning; excuse me, you're the one who posted the Boar's mission. Yes! Did you find it?
The gentleman looks at me with expectant eyes.
Actually, I came to know if you can give me some information about him so I can catch him. Ah! I understand; what do you want to know? First, I want to know if he likes something or is afraid of something. He likes fruits and pungent smells, whether they are pleasant or disgusting, and he is afraid of spiders. Do you happen to know why he escaped? Because of those goblins, they approached my farm, and Pelpa chased them. Pelpa? That's the name my son gave the Boar. I think I have enough information; I will try to catch him and bring him back home. Thank you very much.
Now that I know his likes, I can form a plan to lure him in and trap him.
I know approximately where to look, so I have to head into the woods by the entrance near Eliot's farm, as he was recently spotted there.
After 40 minutes of walking, I reach the outskirts of the forest, take out the kitchen knife I had and slowly walk inside, I don't want to make any noise, so I have to stroll.
After walking for about 30 or 40 meters, I removed the rope from my inventory.
[Intertwined Rope]
[A rope is used to tie things together, if you want to use it to bind people together, well, who am I to judge you].
[Guava]
[Sweet fruit rich in vitamins C-A-B, I got this information from wikipedia].
As always, the descriptions are incredible.
I took the rope, used a tree to create a makeshift trigger trap, then pulled out two guavas, cut them into small pieces with the knife, and then spread them around; now, it was time to hide.
I decided to hide in some bushes; I didn't want to hide in the trees for fear of spiders, if they were small, it wouldn't be a problem, but this is a different world; I don't want to be ambushed.
A few minutes pass, and still nothing; maybe I have to go somewhere else?
Let's wait a little longer; patience is a virtue.
After waiting another 12 minutes, I hear the footsteps of something approaching from the left side; I direct my sight towards the sound, but it's not the woolly Boar I'm looking for; it's a goblin.
It sure is ugly with that sunken nose and that snot green skin tone; it's getting close to my trap.
Gy gyaga
The goblin approaches the pieces of fruit on the ground while making that strange sound, it sounds like a small child wants to cry, but the tears have already dried up.
As soon as I finished that thought, the goblin activated my trap, and I saw how he was grabbed by the ankle to be lifted upside down.
As I see that he is immobilized, I grab a wooden stick and run to where the goblin is to hit him in the head.
Fortunately, the heavy blow to the head caused him to stop moving; I didn't know if he was dead or not, so I was thinking about giving him another blow to the head until I heard a notification.
[You have caught a Goblin]
Fortunately, it was dead; I didn't want to use the knife because I didn't know if the blood would attract monsters of the same kind or worse; I needed to be stronger.
Now that I knew it was dead, he removed the rope around its ankle and let the body fall to the ground. Luckily, I can still use the string.
After putting away the rope and the pieces of fruit, I start to hear something approaching.
Shit! Is there another goblin coming that was nearby?
I quickly hide in the bushes and look around.
After 20 seconds, what comes out is not a goblin or a monster. It's a person, I thought about going out to greet him, but I stopped after hearing what he said.
Great, another goblin, it seems that the idiot wanted to climb the tree and fell, perfect, I can use his body.
What goblin bodies can be used? But from what I hear from many people, they refer to them because they are cockroaches and are useless.
Is there a way to use them?
While my brain tries to solve this dilemma, the adventurer drags the body deep into the forest.
There is no doubt that something is happening here; the recent accumulation of goblins in the surroundings and how they don't seem diminishing has something to do with this guy.
Maybe I should warn the guild.
No, if I tell them what I just saw, it's likely that not only they won't believe me, but this guy will be alerted and run away or, even worse, chase me for ruining his plans.
What I have to do now is catch the Woolly Boar, deliver the mission, and then go back to town and use the guild's training ground to learn defence techniques.
I have to start training!
