Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1102: Chapter 162: Part-Time Newbie

Ye Lingyue followed the path and found the newcomer reporting office located in an alley called Narrow Gate Alley.

The so-called reporting office, to put it plainly, was just a small shop no different from a general store.

Inside, there were piles of scrolls and booklets that seemed to have been there for who knows how many years, and a female martial artist with dry yellow hair sat inside the shop.

”Excuse me, is this the newcomer reporting office? I’m here to report.”

Ye Lingyue stepped forward and asked.

The young female martial artist lazily glanced at her.

”Name, age, continent, and sect.”

”Ye Lingyue, sixteen years old, Lonely Moon Sea on Qing Province Continent.”

Ye Lingyue could see that the other person was too lazy to say much, and she herself just wanted to finish reporting, arrange accommodation, and immediately find the whereabouts of the two thieves.

”Registration fee, ten Low-level Spirit Stones.”

The young woman with yellow hair extended her hand.

”You have a Beast Pet, so you need to pay for another one.”

”...”

Ye Lingyue reluctantly paid double the fee and waited for the young woman to make further arrangements.

But that woman just wrote a few characters and then ignored Ye Lingyue.

”Excuse me, where will I live, and what about newbie training?”

Ye Lingyue remembered Sister Wan Yun mentioned that each Newbie City would arrange corresponding training programs and provide free food and housing for newbies during their first year.

”Are you asking about food and shelter? Haha, that’s funny, you think this is Wuling City where there’s so much money there’s nowhere to spend it. Let me tell you, Wuling City doesn’t have extra money to support worthless people like you. You need to resolve your food and accommodation yourself. As for newbie training, it’s held once a month, with limited spots. Register early, and each registration costs one Intermediate Spirit Stone. If you don’t understand something, find the Huangquan Manual in that pile of books.”

The young woman spoke disdainfully, not even looking at Ye Lingyue, and indicated with a twitch of her lips for Ye Lingyue to search through the dusty scrolls.

Ye Lingyue could only brace herself and found the Huangquan Manual among the pile of books.

Free food and accommodation for newbies in Newbie City also depend on the conditions.

In the best condition, and wealthiest Wuling City, newbies not only receive free food and lodging, but there are even certain rewards for participating in newbie programs.

In the slightly worse conditions in other Five Newbie Cities, newbies receive a fifty-percent discount on food and lodging.

Then there are Yanmen and Chishui Newbie Cities, where food and lodging are self-financed, but newbie training is free.

But in Huangquan City, where even the City’s Lord is poor enough to take on side jobs, newbie treatment is worse than a stray dog on the streets; food and lodging are self-financed, and newbie training requires a fee.

The specific reason is due to Huangquan City’s unique attributes.

Firstly, the survival rate for newbies here is very low, so the City Lord’s Mansion would never invest money in a newbie who might perish in just a few days.

Secondly, Huangquan City is penniless!

Ye Lingyue chuckled bitterly after reading.

”Thank you. There’s one more thing, I want to inquire about the inns or teahouses in the city?”

Ye Lingyue knew well that places like inns and teahouses are often the most convenient places to gather information and are also places with the most people. The two thieves who stole from her would certainly appear in such locations.

”Walk straight out for two thousand steps, that’s it. Don’t blame me for not reminding you, prices in Huangquan City are very high. If I were you, I would visit the inns and teahouses to take some newbie tasks.”

The woman with yellow hair curled her lips.

”Thank you.”

Ye Lingyue could see that while this female martial artist was rude and obsessed with money, she was kind-hearted, and considering she would have to deal with her in the future, Ye Lingyue spoke respectfully.

After Ye Lingyue left, the female martial artist stroked her chin.

”She really understands etiquette, hope she can survive a bit longer in Huangquan City.”

After saying this, the female martial artist looked at the time.

”Tsk, it’s city administration time again.”

Saying this, the martial artist walked out of Narrow Gate Alley, winding around until she reached the City Lord’s Mansion in Huangquan City.

A young boy servant, only thirteen or fourteen years old, upon seeing her, bowed and quickly presented a pile of scrolls.

”City Lord, these are the recent brawls and robberies in Huangquan City, along with rape and abduction cases, and city gate repair applications...”

The young servant rattled off a series of matters in one go.

The female martial artist rubbed her temples; these chaotic issues occur hundreds of times every month in Huangquan City, but with no City Guards, how can she manage it?

The city gate needs repair? No money, what to use for repair.

”These are all trivial matters from the past, can’t be resolved, still can’t be resolved. If there are no new affairs, I am very busy and shall leave first.”

Having said this, the female martial artist got up, ready to slip away.

”City Lord, please wait, there is indeed one thing. There was a Primordial Power Storm near the Ancient Pass.”

The young servant was well aware of the City Lord’s temperament and hurriedly spoke.

”Primordial Power Storm? Aren’t they again asking the City Lords for donations for construction? Huangquan City is without money, not a single penny, powerless.”

The female martial artist shrugged.

Huangquan City looks even worse than being hit by a Primordial Power Storm; she’s the one being asked for donations, who would donate to her.

”City Lord, this time it’s not about donations. It’s that the region near the Ancient Pass hopes we could cooperate to verify missing personnel, saying that during the storm, someone might have accidentally entered the Huangquan Transmission Array. But I think it’s a misunderstanding, Huangquan City hasn’t had a newcomer report for a long time.”

The young servant hurriedly said.

”Wait, some unlucky one got swept into the Huangquan Transmission Array by a Primordial Power Storm?”

The female martial artist raised an eyebrow, recalling the newcomer Ye Lingyue, apparently that little black charcoal wasn’t self-arrived but was swept in by the Primordial Power Storm.

Really don’t know if that little girl is lucky or unlucky, encountering a Primordial Power Storm yet not dying, but ending up in Huangquan City.

”City Lord?”

The young male servant inquired.

”Report it, saying Huangquan City has a newcomer named Ye Lingyue who just reported, she should be the one swept in by the Primordial Power Storm.” The female martial artist waved her hand.

The young male servant answered affirmatively and quickly went to reply.

While the City Lord was handling city affairs, at this moment in Huangquan City.

After Ye Lingyue finished reporting, she took a stroll around Huangquan City.

She quickly discovered that Huangquan City was even more difficult to navigate than she had imagined.

There were very few newbies lurking in the city, consumption here was high, like inns, staying a night costs at least ten Low-level Spirit Stones, and meals equally cost ten Low-level Spirit Stones.

Based on the minimum one year Newbie Period, her food and lodging can be resolved in Hong Meng Heaven, which can save quite a bit of money.

But the Cauldron Spirit needs Intermediate Spirit Stones, consuming Low-level Spirit Stones long-term isn’t conducive for its cultivation.

Additionally, attending newbie training requires paying one Intermediate Spirit Stone each time, and the exchange rate for Low-level Spirit Stones produced in her Hong Meng Heaven is quite extortive in Huangquan City.

Even gathering information requires money, Ye Lingyue frowned and decided to find a job first according to what the female martial artist said earlier, earn some income, and then talk.
