"Hey, hey, isn't it?
Are these rare materials? ! "
Tiona was lying on the counter, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the various strange materials spread out on the surface. She never expected that there were so many good things in the worn-out backpack behind Xiao Lin.
The aura of rich people came to my face.
God Gubonyu was slightly startled when he saw these materials, but he did not pounce on them as if he saw a treasure. After all, he still has some self-control after living for hundreds of millions of years.
He was concerned about something else.
"Boy, you didn't do it on purpose, right? You provoked me to say those words."
"Ahaha, how is that possible? You misunderstood and you were just following the trend."
Xiao Lin laughed and refused to admit it, but the excitement on his eyebrows and his inability to lie in front of the gods had completely exposed what he was thinking.
"Heh, cunning boy."
God Gubonyu grinned and cursed with a smile.
In the past, he was serious and serious and hated people playing tricks. However, for some reason, he admired Xiao Lin very much this time.
Incredibly hard ores, soft yet resilient hair, and all kinds of magical and rare materials.
Perhaps it was the incredible amount of rare materials that made his hands itchy.
"Boy."
"What's wrong, Lord Gubonyu?"
"You must have worked hard to get these things, right?"
"yes!"
Xiaolin's eyes filled with tears, because God Gubonyu spoke to his heart. When he thought of being squeezed by those wolf-like women in order to get these things, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing Xiao Lin's scared look, God Gubonyu seemed to have thought of how difficult it was for him at that time.
"That's some good material."
"Not only that, I would exaggerate to say that these materials are the only ones left in the world. If they are forged, they will no longer exist in this world!"
After all, these are all brought from other worlds. As long as Xiao Lin stops taking them, there will be no more in this world.
Well, no problem.
Xiao Lin said it very seriously and seriously.
God Gu Bonyu looked at him carefully and found that Xiao Lin did not show any signs of lying. Then he looked at the material in front of him carefully and murmured: "Is that so? It seems that now, I have to use all my strength. ah."
Looks like the gods are getting serious.
Just when Xiao Lin was expecting Gu Bonyu to exert his power and forge the materials into artifacts by dividing three times, five, and two, the god suddenly said to the mortals:
"Pay your money."
"……Eh?"
"Hey, boy, forging equipment requires craftsmanship fees. You don't know this is a matter of course, right?"
"Well..."
hateful! Unable to have sex for free!
According to common sense, when a god sees this kind of only material in the world, his eyes light up and he immediately decides to forge it for free. Why does he still want money?
No, I am too greedy.
If you can ask a god to forge a divine weapon for you, you will definitely agree no matter how much it costs.
Xiao Lin asked with an anxious mood: "Lord God, how much does it cost to forge weapons?"
"200 million faris." God Gubonyu looked at him provocatively.
200000000? ! ! !
The expression on the black line above Xiao Lin's head was frozen, exactly the same as Sword Girl Ais's expression just now.
"Wow! Just like Ace!"
Black Pitiona pointed at him and exclaimed, and Xiao Lin, who was awakened by her, gave her an annoyed look.
Thank you so much for the reminder.
That expression has to make people doubt that God Gubonyu did it on purpose. Because I had set a trap for him just now, I wanted to win back a victory here... or something.
Xiao Lin wanted to take the things and leave on the spot.
"Boy, this is a friendship price."
"……I know."
The wand of Riveria of the Nine Demons [Great Elf] is made of refined metal and Holy King Ore. The wand is extremely strong and can even be used as a long-handled weapon. And this is the most advanced magic wand, one of the Five Supreme Wands. After various price cuts, the asking price is 340 million mana, not even counting the nine highest-end magic stones!
And when Loki knew the price and thought about it again and again, even she didn't understand why it was so cheap.
Or consider the artifact Hephaestus forged for Hestia, which also cost 200 million mana, so the asking price of God Guberniu is really a friendship price!
"So boy, do you want to forge or not?"
God Gubonyu looked at him with a smile.
Even though he asked this question, everyone present knew how Xiaolin would answer.
"...forging, please!"
Xiao Lin gritted his teeth and said.
He knew that he could buy an artifact for 200 million mana and made a lot of money. But knowing and spending money are two different things. Who would be willing to spend money if he could get it in vain?
"Stop being so sad." Seeing Xiaolin's gloomy expression, God Gu Bonniu said: "How many people who want God's help in forging weapons are not qualified, you should be content, do you understand!"
"……I see."
With a long sigh, I could only accept it.
In this way, Xiao Lin and Aisi, two poor people who owed huge sums of money, began to endlessly spawn monsters in the dungeon.
Despite what they said, they didn't get together.
Because of efficiency issues.
The upper-level monsters generally have no impact on them. In this case, it is easier to accumulate money by fighting alone, not to mention that they cannot form good coordination in terms of work, rest and fighting methods.
However, there is still a weekly battle guide.
The location was set as always in the main room on the 17th floor.
Coming here is as relaxing as going home.
Although Xiaolin had already improved Aisi's combat effectiveness, he still underestimated it in the end.
Sword Girl Ace is very strong, even stronger than werewolf Burt.
The Swordswoman, who is already agile and specialized, no matter how Xiaolin uses silk threads to entangle her, imprison her, or lay traps, she can always find a flaw and escape quickly. Even if she relies on [Five Vision Omnipotence] to see the route in advance and intercept her, in the end Swordswoman Ais can use wind magic to cut off all the threads three or two times, and then pull away the distance with ease.
In general, it is the weapon that has reached a bottleneck.
"Tsk, isn't this a complete lack of progress?"
Xiao Lin smacked his lips in displeasure.
It was already a week ago that I asked God Gubonyu to forge an artifact, and it was also my second time to fight Sword Lady Ais.
However, unlike the first battle where he benefited a lot, Xiaolin did not cause any trouble to the opponent this time.
Yes, all the tricks are ineffective.
Are you a Saint? A trick you have seen once will fail the second time.
In fact, he also knows the reason.
The reason is simple.
Because Sword Princess Aisi knew that silk threads could not trap her, some attacks that required dodge and retreat chose to break through forcefully, which led to Xiaolin losing the initiative and being pushed into a dead corner step by step, and then lost.
Sword Girl Aisi retracted her sword and said expressionlessly: "Xiao Lin, your fighting skills are very mature, both in terms of experience and intuition. I think there is nothing left to teach you."
If he hadn't known that she was naturally stupid, Xiao Lin would have thought that the other party thought that he was too incompetent and was not willing to provide combat guidance.
"That's right, that's right. If you can fight Aisi back and forth, Xiaolin, you can now hold your chest high."
Another sparring partner, Black Pittiona, cheered Kobayashi on.
But in fact, Xiao Lin never won a single battle with her.
Not only is her physical fitness ridiculously strong, but her defense power is also exaggerated, and her unique skill [Crazy Transformation and Chaos] will make it stronger the more it is injured, making people wonder if there is a ferocious beast under her petite black skin.
"I understand the truth, but how to improve it is the most important thing, isn't it?"
Xiaolin sighed.
Weapons like silk thread are rare. Most people don't have enough experience in dealing with them, so they usually rush around and get the upper hand. However, once it is seen through, it will fall into passivity, so the strength of the weapon is the top priority.
If he wanted to change the status quo, he would have to wait for God Gubonyu to forge a divine weapon, but he couldn't afford it.
Good news: Artifacts can solve the problem.
Bad news: Can't afford the artifact.
"Well...that's a problem."
Tiona also started to think.
Suddenly, she saw the weapon of Sword Queen Ais, to be precise, it was the green whirlwind wrapped around the long sword.
——The wind spirit runs quickly!
Wrapping oneself in the wind, improving attack, defense, speed and short-distance flying ability, is the best magic used by Sword Princess Ais in battle.
"Yes!"
Black Pitiona clapped her hands and exclaimed, immediately attracting the attention of the other two people.
"Miss Tiona, do you have any idea?"
"Tiona?"
Xiao Lin and Ais looked at her.
I don’t have high expectations for Tiona, who doesn’t like to use her brain, but she also hopes to get inspiration from it and find reasons to become stronger.
"The answer is magic!"
Tiona looked triumphant.
Magic cannot be said to be omnipotent, but with magic, omnipotence is possible.
Silk thread is very fragile, so make it tougher.
And magic is a good choice.
It has to be said that sometimes idiots who are keen on combat are flexible in this regard.
Her words opened the door to a new world.
"Of course, Xiaolin, it would be great if you knew the same wind magic as Ace." Tiona said with a slight regret: "Wind magic combined with silk threads to increase the attack range and sharpness will definitely make you a troublesome character."
"...I can." Xiao Lin suddenly said.
"What?"
"I said, I know wind magic."
To be precise, he secretly learned wind magic.
During the battle with Sword Girl, Xiao Lin secretly learned the opponent's magic. After all, it is Sword Girl's specialty. If you don't learn it, you will be sorry for yourself.
"Wake up!"
Xiaolin chanted a short magic spell, and a green whirlwind of the same style as Sword Princess Ais suddenly wrapped around his body.
"...Eh?" X2
Sword Girl Ais and Black Piediona were stunned on the spot.
They never expected that Xiaolin could use wind magic, and it was exactly the same wind magic as Sword Princess!
Ace tilted her head and asked, "Tiona, are there any other magics that are the same?"
"I do not know."
Tiona, who had no magic, could only shake her head.
- A parody.
The magic that remained after Kobayashi received a favor and changed his profession from adventurer to great mage. All magic can be learned, but the disadvantage is that the power is reduced and the consumption is increased.
Even so, it is a terrible magic.
Relying on it alone, Xiaolin can become the top player in Labyrinth City.
Of course, Xiao Lin did not intend to tell them. After all, no matter how good the relationship was, he could not tell the other party about his abilities. Even members of the same family would not do this.
Sword Princess Aisi and Black Piediona obviously knew this truth, so even though they were extremely curious, they did not ask in the end.
"Okay, let's start round two."
After finding a way to become stronger, Xiaolin felt that he was good again.
Then he was beaten violently again.
The person fighting him was Tiona. It was unknown why Xiaolin was stronger than before, so she chose not to hold back anymore.
The LV5 level 1 adventurer with full firepower did not give Xiaolin a chance to breathe. He fainted after being beaten for 5 minutes.
When he woke up again, Sword Girl Ais and Black Piediona had left.
Xiao Linsheng lay helplessly on Liu Zi's legs, sniffing the fragrance that kept pouring into his nostrils, and while he was autistic, he began to digest the experience gained this time.
"Master Xiaolin, even if you desperately want to become stronger, it is still embarrassing to get beaten up every time."
Liu Zi's tone did not rise or fall.
But Xiao Lin, who knew her character, understood that the waiter protecting the master was a little dissatisfied with the master's desperate attitude.
"But it's necessary."
Xiaolin said.
There are many ways to become stronger, but there are no shortcuts to any method.
...is impossible.
Thinking of Aqua, who wholesales unlimited artifacts to time-travelers, Xiaolin only thinks that his efforts are a joke. If he had known better than to work so hard, why would he have to work so hard to trick Aqua into giving him a few more artifacts?
The more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel.
This negative emotion lasted for a long time, and Xiao Lin returned to the hotel with Liu Zi's support after recovering his strength.
The days after that were boring.
Just as the game advances to a certain level and requires accumulation of raw resources to upgrade weapons and equipment before entering the next chapter, Xiaolin also enters the endless monster spawning process.
The abbreviation is Kaguan.
Get up every morning, take a quick shower, then save time and use [Dimensional Phalanx] to fight in the dungeon. In the evening, use [Dimensional Phalanx] to return to the hotel and fight Liu Zi.
Just like that, another week passed.
"No! I can't stand it anymore and need to rest!"
After killing the last tauren, Xiao Lin rolled on the ground and made noise like a child.
It was a battle every day, with his eyes open and closed, and even he was so sick that he vomited.
"Liu Zi, let's go have a big dinner today and treat ourselves!"
"Master Xiaolin, don't you want to save money? Is it okay to squander it like this?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! If you want to get better at killing monsters, a balance between work and rest is the way to go, so... let's go to the tavern for dinner tonight! Let's go to the hostess of Harvest!"
evening.
Xiao Lin and Liu Zi came to the tavern and were welcomed into the store by Aniya.
"Brother, I miss you so much! I haven't been here recently! Looking at your tired look, what happened?"
"actually……"
Probably because he was holding it back, Xiao Lin couldn't help but express his bitterness to Aniya.
Of course, he hid the matter about the artifact, but vaguely talked about forging an expensive weapon, which he was having a headache for.
"Hmm... But the adventurer's weapons are still very important. After all, they are the most reliable partners in the dungeon. Isn't this necessary?"
"That's it!"
Xiao Lin didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson by Aniya, and he could only eat the food in front of him without tears.
The tavern was still very busy at night, and Aniya was soon called away by other customers.
Xiaolin concentrated on the food in front of him.
Suddenly, timid words came from beside me.
"Um...can I disturb you?"
"Um?"
In doubt, Xiao Lin raised his head and saw a thin human boy with white hair and red eyes.
There was an inexplicable aura of weakness lingering around his body, making him look like a cowardly rabbit. Although they don't know each other, Xiao Lin still knows him.
——Bell.
The shy boy scratched his cheek and looked like he didn't know how to speak. However, with the encouragement of Hill who was not far behind him, he closed his eyes and said loudly:
"thank you for your help!"
"……Um?"
The sudden thank you made Xiao Lin confused, and Hill behind him couldn't help but hold his forehead.
But soon, the coward Bell explained: "You helped me pay for the meal when I ran away in a hurry, so, so... thank you very much!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply.
The attitude is quite sincere.
Xiao Lin looked at him and said: "Please raise your head. You don't need to thank me. In fact, this matter is also my fault."
"...What?" Bell didn't understand.
Xiaolin explained: "When you were on the fifth floor, you were chased by a Minotaur, right?"
"Yes, that's right..."
Bell's face looked a little timid. Being chased by a tauren was the last thing he wanted to remember.
"But why would you..."
"Because I caused this."
"Huh?"
Under his surprised eyes, Xiaolin explained the whole story.
"...That's it. Because of my negligence, the dungeon activated [Monster Feast], which also gave you bad memories. I'm sorry."
"No, it doesn't matter! I also accepted Mr. Xiaolin's help, didn't I?"
Bell waved his hand quickly.
He didn't have the slightest anger towards Xiao Lin. After all, the other party was also a novice adventurer like him, so it was understandable that he didn't know that the dungeon had this rule. The most important thing is that he met the Sword Girl Ais!
...Although the scene at the time and what happened later (being ridiculed by the werewolf Bert) were somewhat unpleasant, at least he had the motivation to move forward.
Xiao Lin said to him: "That's right! Why don't you let me treat you?"
"What?"
"I know this is not compensation, but at least please let me treat you this time. Bell can order whatever he wants and I will pay the bill."
"Really, really?!"
Bell was very excited.
But when he thought that his master was still eating hash browns in the basement, he had no intention of eating a big meal.
"God Hestia..."
"In this case, let's schedule the treat for tomorrow. You can also bring Bell's Lord."
"Really, thank you Mr. Xiaolin!"
Under Xiaolin's considerate arrangement, Bell promised and left happily.
Looking at his leaving back, Xiao Lin remained silent.
Liu Zi beside her asked: "Master Xiaolin, you seem to be very optimistic about him?"
"Well, because he is very special." Xiao Lin nodded.
Labyrinth City or the entire "Gone Wrong" is extremely dark, but Bell is kind and sunny. How can such a breath of fresh air not make people care?
and……
"He is different from me. I am a hero because I was chosen by the goddess. Even if I am not a hero, I am still a hero. But Bell is a real hero. Even if he is not recognized by others, he is a hero in his essence. And this is what I and His biggest difference.”
