After buying the weapons, Reiner also bought two pieces of black bread for lunch, and then returned to the small village where he lived.

On the way, Nora would take out the dagger and play with it from time to time.

Even without eavesdropping, one could tell she was extremely satisfied with this weapon.

Looking at her cat tail twitching left and right, Reiner suddenly had the urge to reach out and grab it...

Nora noticed Reiner's gaze, turned around and hid her tail behind her, complaining in her heart.

(Why do you always stare at my tail?)

Reiner coughed awkwardly twice, turned around and climbed up the wooden ladder to the wooden wall used to protect the village, and took a look outside.

He vaguely saw several green slimes jumping in the dense forest, and they seemed to be approaching the village.

Although monsters like slimes pose almost no threat to humans, there are many of them.

If left unattended and allowed to accumulate, they will not only corrode wooden walls but may also destroy crops.

If this continues for a long time, the losses caused will be no less than that caused by robbery.

So we need to hire someone to clean it every few days.

Reiner jumped off the wooden wall and walked towards the forest with Nora.

As soon as he approached the slime, he smelled a foul odor.

The slime closest to them had a half-digested rabbit corpse vaguely visible inside its translucent body.

Reiner turned to look at Nora: "Do you know how to kill the slime?"

"My mother taught me that all I have to do is pierce the shiny gem in the center of its body." Nora nodded, drew a dagger from her waist, and walked towards the slime.

Football-sized slimes are easy to kill.

She stabbed the magic core accurately and killed one easily.

Then he wiped the mucus off the dagger lovingly.

Reiner stepped forward and picked up the magic core from the mucus, then put it into the bag at his waist: "This thing can be exchanged for money. Ten magic cores can be exchanged for one Diast copper coin."

Nora blinked, seemingly not understanding.

(What does it mean? What are copper coins?)

"What do you demihumans usually use to trade with your own kind?"

"Food, or animal skins and bones."

It is still a barter model, no wonder there is no concept of currency.

Reiner picked up the magic core and waved it in front of Nora, then pointed to the black bread hanging around his waist and said in a clear voice: "Twenty of these gems can be exchanged for a piece of black bread."

Nora suddenly realized and nodded heavily.

Then he continued to kill the slime with a dagger.

Now that I have a helper, the speed of killing slimes has doubled.

He really made the right choice.

When he has money in the future, he will definitely buy a few more slaves, so that the speed at which he makes money will definitely increase several times.

Maybe in just a few years, he would be able to leave the other world and live a well-off life.

The process of killing slimes was a bit boring, but the two of them soon filled a bag with magic cores.

Reiner counted carefully.

There are only thirty-six, and four more are needed to complete the mission.

I guess I have to walk deeper into the forest to find it.

But that place is the territory of bandits and robbers, and if you are unlucky, you might even encounter goblins.

Normally, Reiner wouldn't go deep into the forest.

He looked up at the sun which was obscured by dark clouds and saw that it was already noon, so he took out the black bread.

"Let's eat something first. After we finish eating, we'll go deeper into the woods and kill four more slimes before coming back."

"good!"

Nora put away the dagger, stared at the black bread in Reiner's hand, and swallowed.
