Dragged Into Another World Because of My Otaku Friend-Chapter 110: Jackpot

From above the body of the bird, several cards were seen floating.

So this thing was actually a monster. I thought it was just a normal animal in this world.

It seems that in this world, only monsters drop loot, while animals do not. For example, the Trihorn Bison. It didn’t drop anything during our training.

After confirming that the elite Red Condor was truly dead, confirmed, of course, by Bob kicking its head I unequipped my class. All the ice surrounding me began to melt into water, shimmering under the sunlight.

Bob climbed onto its body and headed toward the floating cards. Linus and I stayed below.

"You two always do something unexpected. So now you can use ice magic. What should I guess next? Time magic?" Linus chuckled.

I wanted to tell him that I actually had time magic, but I remembered what Guildmaster Mirinda said. I held myself back. I could already imagine Linus’s face if he found out.

He then slung his staff behind his back and pulled out a small knife.

"I want to take some parts of it. I heard some pieces can be sold for a high price," Linus said.

Hearing what he said, my eyes immediately lit up. "Are you sure? How much can we get?" I asked excitedly. Our total gold now is only two: one for me, one for Bob. We had only planned to earn enough to pay for the room first, which costs ten gold. So far, we hadn’t made any money yet since arriving in this world. I mean by our own effort. Stealing from bandits doesn’t count.

"Hmm. I’m not sure about the elite one. For the normal variant, its heart can be sold for five gold, talons for two gold each, feathers for fifty silver, and its eyes are the most expensive, ten gold each. That’s what I remember," Linus said as he walked toward the Red Condor’s head.

I did the calculation, counting on my fingers. From this bird alone, we could make nearly forty gold. And since this was an elite one, surely the value must be even higher. Finally, we’re not poor anymore.

"Linus, let’s take all the valuable parts."

"But we can only bring some of it. We don’t have a cart to carry everything," Linus replied. His hands were already covered in blood as he dug out the bird’s eye.

Damn it. He was right. Then we should just focus on the most valuable parts, the eyes. I went over to help Linus.

After we extracted the eyes which were really big, each the size of an office table we stuffed them into the bags we had originally brought for food.

I washed my hands in a nearby pool of water formed from the melted ice.

Two bags of Elite Red Condor loot. At least twenty gold in value. It could be considered a jackpot.

"Congratulations on slaying the elite variant."

We then heard Cerdic’s voice, now walking toward us with his group.

"It seems you win this challenge," Cerdic smiled. He then got off his horse and walked toward me and Linus.

Aaron and his group examined the large corpse in front of them, clearly amazed.

"You, your name is Alan, if I’m correct?"

"Yes," I nodded.

"You are really something. So, you’re also an ice user, like Beltimore," he said, scanning me.

"You could say so," I replied. I had no intention of telling him about my abilities.

But somehow, I felt uncomfortable. Not because of Cerdic, but because of a girl beside him. She had green hair, was short, around 150 cm, and her bangs completely covered her eyes. Yet I could still feel it. She was staring at me. From the small gap in her hair, I could see her eyes, sharp and locked onto me.

Cerdic noticed my discomfort. "Ah, forgive me for that. She’s Dalma. She’s always like this. If she finds you interesting, she won’t stop staring," he smiled. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

That’s kind of rude, but I ignored her.

Cerdic looked at the corpse, then at Linus, who was still cutting it apart, and then at the bag in front of me containing the condor’s eyes. He said, "Would you mind giving us the corpse? We’ll pay more than market price."

Linus stopped. "How much are you offering?"

"One hundred gold," Cerdic said flatly.

My eyes lit up. One hundred gold? That was more than enough to cover the room, and also our food.

"Did I hear one hundred gold?" Bob said while still on top of the corpse, looking down. He must have already grabbed the loots. He then came toward me, his clothes stained with the blood of the red condor.

"Yes, of course," Cerdic replied, though his face clearly showed disdain at the smell coming from Bob.

I then shouted to Linus, "Hey Linus, do you want to sell this corpse?"

"I’ll just follow you. You guys are the ones who kill this thing," he said.

"If that’s so, then we agree to sell," I said as I offered my hand for a handshake.

Cerdic looked at my hand, then shook it. After that, he pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his hand.

Does this diva really think every organism besides him is trash or what?

"I look forward to the coming tournament. Usually, we do not reveal our roster to other guilds, but just for you, I’ll tell you. I will be entering the solo battle category," Cerdic smiled.

All of his group members looked surprised after hearing what Cerdic said. This kind of information was usually confidential. Revealing it could give an upper hand to rival guilds.

After we completed the transaction, we prepared to return to the city.

"I hope we meet again. Our battle was at a stalemate," Aaron said to Linus.

Linus simply replied, "Sure."

"Please don’t die before the tournament," Cerdic added.

I pulled Plump along and walked away with Bob and Linus, leaving the field with a big bag of gold resting on Plump’s back.

---

After seeing the trio already gone, Cerdic ordered some members of the group to stay behind and complete the dismembering of the carcass.

He then rode on his horse, ready to move, when Aaron and Dorian arrived beside him.

"Why did you tell them about our roster? What if they pass that information to other guilds?" Aaron said. If the info fell into the hands of rival guilds like Red Eyes or others, it could seriously damage their chances of winning this year’s Carnival.

"It changes nothing. I told them because I have a feeling I’ll meet them again in the tournament," Cerdic replied.

"You mean one of them will enter the solo battle?" Dorian asked.

"Yes. And it will surely be more intriguing than today. Isn’t that right, Dalma?" Cerdic smiled as he looked at Dalma, who was now wiping her eyes, strained from too much focusing.

Dorian and Aaron exchanged glances. They knew their ace very well, every time he had a hunch, it always turned out to be correct.

"All of them are strong. This year, the Dawnbloom Guild won’t be as weak as before. We need to be careful," she said.

Silence fell over the group while Cerdic smiled widely, unable to hide his excitement.
