Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 308 Uesugi Ai

"objection!"

Yi Yin objected to Bai Hu's suggestion on the spot, "This name is too dark. Our lives are already bitter enough. Can't we give it a sweeter name?"

"Then let me ask you, what name do you want to take?"

Baihu smiled, "Hearing you say that, you do have a brilliant idea?"

"Hehe, of course,—Senior Xuanwu already has the answer!"

"(What? I have the answer?)"

Xuanwu himself couldn't believe it. He just wanted to hang up leisurely, but unexpectedly he was affected.

"Ah, so you don't know what to name it."

Yiyin looked extremely disappointed. He really had misjudged the person.

"In that case, why not call it 'Hell's Front'?"

"That's foul play! I have to make sure there's nothing unhealthy going on among us."

"But you obviously have no better choice."

"Nonsense! I'm just thinking!"

“(……)”

……

They argued endlessly over the trivial issue of the team name until dusk. The funniest thing was that they still couldn't agree on a solution.

Finally, even Catherine couldn't bear it anymore. "Since you can't be sure, I will use the default name for your team. Your team is called 'Three-person Team 258'. Please check it."

As she spoke, Catherine took out a bunch of keys.

"The Adventurer's Guild also has the obligation to provide a resting place for adventurers. This is the key to your room. Please explore upstairs on your own. Free meals will be delivered to your room regularly, but please note that if you lose your ID card, all your rights will be lost. Please keep it safe."

Yi Yin picked up the key. Although it was a bunch of keys, there was actually only one key. Which meant...

"By the way, here's some advice for you newcomers to the Adventurer's Guild. The Adventurer's Guild will do its best to ensure the personal safety of all adventurers—but only during our working hours. Outside of that, please refrain from any outrageous actions. By the way, our working hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.."

After Catherine finished speaking, she disappeared in a flash, going out to have fun.

The Adventurer's Guild was packed with people, many of them anxious, worried about Luke's whereabouts today. While D-rank adventurers received free food and accommodation, the conditions were so harsh that they could barely survive. Once the number of people increased, they would have to consider other measures to obtain Luke.

The room of Yi Yin and his companions was at the very edge of the second floor. Yes, there was only one room for a team. The room was extremely dark, and there was only a bed made of two wooden boards stacked together, which would collapse with the slightest force.

In addition, there is not even a window, which makes it look very depressing and cramped.

Oh no, there is also a small stool with a bun on it.

The filling of the buns is made by mixing seven kinds of sugar: brown sugar, white sugar, black sugar, green sugar, powdered sugar, purple sugar, and blue sugar. It is a genuine sugar bun that can effectively replenish the body's sugar supply.

Yiyin carefully broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Ah! So sweet!"

Yiyin's teeth were almost broken by the sweetness. Perhaps only someone who is extremely hungry would dare to eat such a candy bag.

Seeing Yiyin like this, Baihu and Xuanwu gave up the idea of swallowing the candy bag. At worst, they could make it up tomorrow.

After temporarily ignoring the sugar packets, the next thing to consider is sleep.

"I think we'd better sleep on the street."

Yi Yin thought that this was ten or even nine times more shabby than his dormitory at the Four Gods Base.

"Forget it, it's good to have a place to rest, it's better than sleeping on the street."

Baihu estimated that the bed was barely wide enough for one person to curl up and sleep in. It was simply a shoddy construction.

"(let me.)"

Xuanwu said nothing, but just took out the talisman paper.

"(Judgement: Explosion!)"

Xuanwu shouted silently in his heart and directly split the bed board into two wooden boards. In this way, with a little more splicing, it would be able to support the bodies of two people.

What? What about Yi Yin? Who cares about him?

"I wonder if we can squeeze in a little bit... Never mind, let's leave someone to keep watch. Honestly, I don't really trust Ruicheng, and the Adventurer's Guild has this... weird atmosphere, so it's better to keep someone on guard."

"I have no opinion."

After saying this, Baihu went undercover and slept.

“(I leave it to you.)”

Xuanwu was next to Baihu and soon fell asleep.

Yi Yin found a comfortable place to stay, and stared at the various monsters that might emerge from the darkness with his dead fish eyes.

One second passed, two seconds passed...

Apart from the intermittent snoring, there was nothing worth noting.

Just when Yiyin was feeling drowsy, he suddenly felt a start. In the darkness, a pair of eyes were staring at him...or rather, at the candy bag in his hand.

The rooms in the Adventurer's Guild didn't have locking doors, so it was easy to steal things. Plus, the Adventurer's Guild staff had already gone off duty, so...

Yi Yin immediately became alert and quietly touched the Xuanwu blade in his hand.

Once he is sure that the other party has ill intentions towards him, Iin will swing his sword without hesitation.

The figure slowly crawled over. It was a dirty little girl. Her saliva wet the lower half of her skirt, making her look covered in a layer of gray.

At this moment, the little girl was staring intently at the candy bag next to Yiyin, and seemed to be eager to take a bite of it.

"Big brother, can you let me have a bite of that candy? Just one bite, just one bite... I, I haven't eaten for three days."

The little girl's voice sounded weak, and no one could bear to refuse her.

Yi Yin felt pity and asked, "What's your name?"

"Big brother, my name is Uesugi Ai, everyone calls me Uesugi."

"Okay, Uesugi, you know, there are no free buns in this world. If you want to eat this bun, you must show your worth. So, what benefits can you give me?"

Uesugi Ai hesitated for a moment. Perhaps her own value was even less than a candy bag that could be found everywhere? This was truly heartbreaking.

"Big brother, if you don't mind, I can let you..."

"That's enough."

Seeing that Uesugi Ai still didn't understand the meaning of his words, Iin had to make his words clearer.

"Uesugi, you should just go and scam someone else. I have no reason to let a fraudster get his hands on my candy. Even though it's sickeningly sweet, I don't think anyone would be able to tell it's a candy at first glance."

Uesugi Ai was speechless. She didn't understand why the world was so cruel and ruthless to her.

"Besides, if I let you eat the candy, countless people will come to me for candy in the future - that kind of thing must be nipped in the bud."

After saying that, Yiyin made a "please" gesture.
