This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist-Chapter 422: Discovering the Wild Wallet — Wolf Fortress!

Mistblade pulled out a scroll: "Curse Fat Goose for me, and add 100g of Moon Sand, and I will agree to exchange Moonlit Night Song for Last Night’s Star from the previous three conditions."

Rita immediately took out 100g of Moon Sand—she had packed several sizes over the past few days—and pushed it in front of Mistblade, saying in a strong, clear voice: "A Candle Barbarian king is not even worthy of being compared to the tip of Mistblade Moon Emperor’s tail!"

Once the benefits were secured, who wouldn’t be willing to curse? After all, when everyone enters the World Battlefield, no one cares about family ties.

What’s the big deal with Fat Goose? What’s so special about Candle Barbarian kings?! Haven’t I offended enough royalty already? One more doesn’t make a difference.

A minute later, a crisp, melodious female voice rang out in the sky of Lania Kaia.

"I have been entrusted by Lania Kaia’s Mistblade Moon Emperor to curse the Candle Barbarian king of Lania Kaia, Fat Goose, that he will never produce alchemy potions or craft gems in this lifetime, until he comes to Mistblade Moon Emperor’s palace to cry, admit his fault, and swear never to touch alchemy again. The curse will only be lifted after this. There is only one curse slot left for sale. Those interested may contact Mistblade Moon Emperor."

After hearing the first-hand curse, Mistblade was silent: "..."

Before Mistblade could act, Rita took the initiative to smile at her, giving a friendly thumbs-up: "You negotiate the price when the time comes. I’ll do the cursing, and we’ll split the profits 50/50!"

She knew that Mistblade was royalty, and through Mistblade, she could take orders and avoid taking the heat. It was only fair to give her a share of the profits when the deal was done. You have to be tight-fisted when needed, but you should also give your due.

Mistblade’s eyes lit up, and a few sparks of excitement flickered in her gaze. She nodded approvingly: "Not bad, I’ve long seen that you’re no ordinary person!" BS Rita wasn’t afraid to die, what was there to fear?

Nivalis and the hamster had long stopped their tussling. The cat and mouse sat at the table, their expressions heavy.

Hamster ZiZi: "I’m starting to get scared."

Nivalis: "I’m used to it."

Rita had a knack for laying low, but her skill for causing trouble was even stronger.

After the curse was completed, Mistblade promptly told Rita how to travel to other worlds.

"Do you know about the Arena of All Races?"

"I do."

"When the opposing race first enters, and the entry barrier is still open, you can rush in before the curtain closes. The only side effect is that if you don’t have any team members for that match, you’ll be immediately disqualified, and the opposing race will directly invade your world."

"Can the giant light curtain that divides the arena be passed through? How do I get back? Can I use teleportation skills?" Rita asked.

"Teleportation skills don’t always work. Sometimes they fail when the worlds are too far apart. But once you enter the World Battlefield—no matter from which world you enter—after the game ends, you will be sent back to the world linked to the battlefield key. You don’t need to worry about not being able to return."

Afterward, Mistblade taught Rita how to craft Last Night’s Star and then left with Apache, who had "voluntarily" given away a hundred blind boxes.

Before heading out, she said to Rita, "Don’t you think that if you learned the Moonfox language, our trades would be a lot easier?"

Rita: "But learning the Moonfox language itself is more troublesome, right?"

Mistblade: "Looks like you don’t plan on trading with me long-term."

Rita: "No, I just believe we’re in sync and can communicate without needing words."

Mistblade: "Then why hasn’t Apache killed you yet?"

At that moment, Apache was passing by the corner of the stairs, holding an ice-cold drink. "…" What’s it to me?

After sending Mistblade off, Rita quickly asked Apache, "Is Fat Goose, this Candle Barbarian king, scary?"

Apache’s expression was hard to read: "You’ve already offended him and you’re asking this now? Isn’t it a little late?"

Rita: "I want to know a bit more, it’ll help me sleep better at night."

Apache: "…Fat Goose? He’s nothing special. He’s not great at alchemy, but he’s extremely rich and willing to spend money on alchemy. He’s wasted a lot of rare materials, some of which are so scarce you can’t even afford to use them. Mistblade has wanted to deal with him for a long time."

Rita and Nivalis exchanged a glance, and their eyes lit up at the same time—two words ran through their minds: He’s extremely rich.

Apache: ?

Weren’t you just worrying a second ago? Why the sudden excitement?

After learning the method to travel to other worlds, Rita didn’t rush. She decided to first collect and study the game-related items and mechanical gear from Lania Kaia.

She stayed in the alchemy shop for another two days, not only teaching Kayden various sales pitches and blind box tricks but also learning This Skill I Don’t Like II. Apache even taught her This Skill I Don’t Like I as a bonus.

Nivalis also earned a salary, and Apache gave her 12 bottles of Master-level magic potions with various effects.

Rita sold all the leftover scraps she had brought from Dragon Island to Apache and even gave him a bottle of Dragon’s Tears.

This was something she had seen on a TV show earlier. When Rita went downstairs to get fruit, she saw Nivalis crying. Rita instantly used her shadow step and knelt before her, tossing away the tissue Nivalis was using to wipe her tears, and caught those tears in a glass bottle.

She looked at Rita and sighed, shaking her head. While others might care why a dragon was crying, only Rita wondered how long the dragon could cry.

Rita: ???

What’s going on with this little princess now?

…

After leaving the alchemy shop, Rita and Nivalis first visited the toy store in Dark City. The focus wasn’t on the games, but on the mechanical items that required interaction, like racing toys. Rita and Nivalis bought a set each to study later.

All expenses were covered by Nivalis, as Rita was now broke and living off her.

After reconciling with Mistblade, the two of them didn’t feel much danger heading to the three major Moonfox cities. They used to avoid the main city of Moonfox to save time on I Really Don’t Have Time for a Bath, but now they had no such concerns.

After leaving Dark City, Rita and Nivalis first went to Tonton Lin, the most developed of Wind Scythe’s three main cities, where there were plenty of entertainment facilities and stores.

Just as they entered the toy store, they saw a familiar figure.

Wolf Fortress! My wild wallet!!

Rita screamed inside her head to Nivalis: I’m about to get rich!

Nivalis: ?

Rita: Give me a gold coin.

Nivalis handed one over, and Rita turned her back to take out the turtle jade stone, smashing the coin into it.

Then, she casually walked into the toy store.

At that moment, Wolf Fortress was in the midst of negotiating with the Moonfox saleswoman, claiming that the toy he bought last year was broken.

After choosing her toys and paying, Rita noticed Wolf Fortress was still arguing with the shop assistant.

The store was busy, with customers coming and going. Another Blood Elf employee had already taken over helping the customers.

After Nivalis paid, Rita took the shopping bag and walked out of the toy store. Just as she was about to step over the threshold, she turned back and used her stealing skill on Wolf Fortress repeatedly.

She didn’t stop until she saw her wallet pile up with gold coins!

Rita quickened her pace as she left the store with Nivalis.

Nivalis: "How much?"

Rita: "30,000!"

Just as she finished speaking, a scream from Wind Scythe echoed behind them…
