The outskirts of the Kela Great Forest.
Adventurers cheerfully emerged from the Great Forest, heading back to Tim Town.
Some were even pushing small carts piled with herbs and demonic beast corpses.

The bodies of the Whirlwind Vulture and the One-eyed Troll were naturally not overlooked.
They dragged them all back.
These demonic beast corpses were bought by specialized alchemists and apothecaries to make potions and tools.
Villagers nearby saw the adventurers returning triumphantly and gathered by the roadside to cheer for them.
Some offered food and water to treat these adventurers who had rid the area of monsters.
"Mom, look, there's a little kid over there. Can someone that small be an adventurer too?"
Suddenly, a little girl pointed at a short figure in the crowd and exclaimed.
"Krina, don't be so rude!"
The girl's mother, also curious, looked over and saw an adventurer covered entirely by a cloak, wearing a devil mask on their face.
The adventurer looked suspicious, walking among the crowd.
"Indeed, this adventurer is quite short..."
"But they could be a dwarf, or a Binuet..."
"What's that, Mom? I know about dwarves, they're those bearded, beer-loving uncles I've seen in town."
"But what's a Binuet?"
"They're similar to dwarves, also short, but they're particularly skilled in culture and poetry..."
"Never thought they'd be adventurers too..."
The little girl, filled with curiosity, quickly rushed over and grabbed the short adventurer's hand.
"Are you a Binuet? Ah..."
The little girl wanted to say more but suddenly opened her mouth wide in surprise and sat down on the ground.
"Child, are you okay?" Her mother was frightened and hurried over.
"I'm... I'm fine, just feel... strange, like there's a warm feeling in my stomach..."
"Hmm?"
The girl's mother was shocked, then filled with joy.
"Oh my, have you awakened your Fighting Spirit? Let's quickly go to the Adventurers' Guild to get checked..."
She picked up the little girl and dashed off, disappearing in a flash.
The short adventurer was scared out of his wits, his heart nearly jumping out of his chest.
Of course, this was Chen Yao in disguise.
He wore human leather armor and a devilish mask.
Finally, he donned a large cloak, covering his head and face.
His entire body was wrapped up, making it impossible for outsiders to see who he was.
Of course.
If someone with identification skills appeared, his cover might be blown.
But this was the Novice Sanctuary, so there shouldn't be such special talents here.
He ventured out mainly to exchange the goblin ears for money and buy some equipment.
If possible, he wanted to interact with more women to grow quickly.
Secondly, the Kela Great Forest was truly unsafe now, with many adventurers hunting goblins inside.
Both low-level and high-level adventurers were there.
Some adventurers above level 10 were also there, not playing by the rules, joining in the chaos.
The goblins in the Kela Great Forest were bound to die, making it really dangerous to stay inside.
So he had to venture out and quickly improve his strength.
This was a case of finding life in a desperate situation.
He traveled with trepidation, not noticing when the little girl ran over.
Then he got caught.
Luckily, the mother was too excited and ran off with her child.
Otherwise, it would have been a troublesome situation.
A day later.
A small circular town appeared before Chen Yao.
"So this is Tim Town?"
Seeing a human town again, Chen Yao felt a bit of nostalgia.
The town looked just like those depicted in anime, with Western-style architecture.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
Just as he was about to enter the town, he was stopped by a guard.
"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear?" The guard looked at the short figure with disdain.
Chen Yao cleared his throat and said coldly, "Can't you see? I'm an adventurer, let me through!"
"Hahaha, with your height, you can be an adventurer?"
"And covering yourself up so tightly, very suspicious!"
"I suspect you're a goblin in disguise, come with us for investigation!"
The guard sneered.
He was just looking for trouble, seeing so many adventurers returning with full loads, he couldn't help but feel envious.
One goblin ear could be exchanged for a silver coin.
These adventurers had large bags, seemingly with abundant harvests.
But they dared not cause trouble, as adventurers were formidable.
At this moment.
Someone who seemed easy to bully appeared.
With such a short stature, what strength could they have?
So naturally, he was stopped.
Chen Yao's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this guy had guessed correctly.
Fing hell, he really was a goblin.
"What are you standing there for, raise your hands and submit to inspection!" The guard raised his spear, pointing it at Chen Yao.
Chen Yao suddenly saw an adventurer dressed like him, cloaked and masked, passing by.
And the guard didn't stop him at all.
He quickly said, "He's dressed just like me, why not search him?"
"I... I search whoever I want, it's none of your business!"
"Raise your hands, or I'll throw you in jail!"
The guard glanced at the adventurer, his heart skipping a beat.
Fing hell, this guy was over two meters tall, as burly as a Demon Bear, how could he dare provoke him?
He just wanted to take advantage of someone small.
Why didn't this guy get the hint?
"Hmm?"
The adventurer dressed like Chen Yao suddenly turned around, saying coldly, "You two little chicks dare to bully an adventurer here? Get out of my way!"
The guards were startled, quickly retreating.
"You, you, you... what do you want? I wasn't talking to you, what's it to you?" The guard trembled in fear.
"I can't stand your way of treating people based on appearances!"
"And I should remind you, this adventurer is above level 10, if you don't want to get beaten, you'd better move aside!"
"What? Above level 10?!"
The guards were stunned, staring at Chen Yao in disbelief.
"How is that possible, with such a small stature, how can you tell?"
"Instinct!"
"And his dimensional backpack, is that something an ordinary adventurer would have?"
The guards were scared out of their wits, retreating repeatedly.
"We're really sorry, Adventurer Sir, we didn't recognize you, please forgive us..."
Chen Yao snorted coldly, "Forget it!"
He followed the burly adventurer into Tim Town.
The big and small, dressed similarly, formed a stark contrast.
As soon as they entered Tim Town, they attracted many curious glances.
"Thanks for the help!"
Chen Yao clasped his hands in a salute.
The masked adventurer was visibly taken aback, awkwardly mimicking Chen Yao's gesture, returning the salute.
"You're welcome!"
"Helping those in need is a basic quality of us adventurers. Is this a greeting from your homeland?"
"It's really convenient and feels quite grand."
Chen Yao realized that the etiquette in this other world was different from his past life, and he had instinctively performed it.
But he didn't bother to correct it.
"Yes, this is the etiquette from my homeland!"
"I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"
He didn't want too much contact with humans, as it posed a risk of exposure.
Now he needed to find a place to stay, and exchange the bounty first thing in the morning.
