I like traveling the most

"Hey, hey, hey, no way!

Are these all rare materials?!"

Tiona lay on the counter, looking at the various strange materials covering the flat surface with shining eyes. She never thought that there were so many good things in the worn-out straps behind Xiaolin.

The breath of the rich was blowing in her face.

God Guberniu was also slightly stunned when he saw these materials, but he did not pounce on them as if he saw treasures. After all, he had lived for hundreds of millions of years and still had some self-control.

He was concerned about another thing.

"Boy, you didn't do it on purpose, did you? You provoked me and made me say that."

"Ahaha, how could it be possible? You misunderstood, just going with the flow."

Xiaolin laughed and refused to admit it, but the excitement that could not be concealed in his eyebrows, and the characteristic of not being able to lie in front of the gods, had completely exposed what he was thinking.

"Heh, cunning boy."

God Guberniu grinned and cursed with a smile.

In the past, he was serious and hated people playing tricks, but for some reason, he admired Xiaolin this time.

Incredibly hard ore, soft but resilient hair, and various magical and rare materials.

Perhaps it was these incredibly rare materials that made him itchy.

"Boy."

"What's wrong, Lord Guberniu?"

"You must have worked hard to get these things, right?"

"Yes!"

Xiaolin's eyes were filled with tears, because Lord Guberniu spoke to his heart. When he thought of being squeezed by those wolf-like women to get these things, his legs began to tremble.

Lord Guberniu saw Xiaolin's fear and seemed to think of how difficult it was for him at that time.

"These are really good materials."

"Not only that, I dare to exaggerate that these materials are the only materials left in this world. If they are forged, they will no longer exist in this world!"

After all, these are brought from other worlds. As long as Xiaolin doesn't take them anymore, this world will have them.

Well, no problem.

Xiaolin said it very seriously.

God Guberniu looked at him carefully and found that Xiaolin did not lie. Then he looked at the material in front of him carefully and murmured: "Is that so? It seems that I have to use all my strength this time."

It seems that the god is serious.

Just when Xiaolin was expecting God Guberniu to exert his strength and forge the material into a divine weapon in no time, the god suddenly said to the mortal:

"Pay the money."

"...Eh?"

"Hey, kid, forging equipment requires labor fees. You should know this kind of natural thing, right?"

"Well..."

Damn it! I can't get it for free!

According to common sense, after seeing this kind of material that is unique in the world, the god's eyes will light up and he will immediately decide to forge it for free. Why does he still want money?

No, I am too greedy.

If I can let the god forge a divine weapon for me, I will agree to it no matter how much money it costs.

Xiao Lin asked with trepidation, "God, how much does it cost to forge a weapon?"

"200 million faris." God Guberniu looked at him provocatively.

200 million? !!!

Xiao Lin's expression froze with a black line on his head, exactly the same as the expression of Sword Princess Ai Si just now.

"Wow! Exactly the same as Ai Si!"

Black Pittiona pointed at him and exclaimed, and Xiao Lin, who was awakened by her, rolled his eyes at her unhappily.

Thank you for your reminder.

That expression made people suspect that God Guberniu did it on purpose. Because he had just set a trap for him, he wanted to get back at him here... or something.

Xiao Lin wanted to take the things and leave on the spot.

"Boy, this is a friendly price."

"...I know."

The wand of the Nine Demon Princess Livilia [Great Elf] is made of refined metal and Holy Emperor Ore. The wand body is extremely strong and can even be used as a long-handled weapon. And this highest-level magic wand, one of the five supreme wands, was priced at 340 million fares after all kinds of bargaining, not even counting the nine highest-level magic stones on it!

When Loki thought about it again and again after knowing the price, even she didn't understand why it was so cheap.

Or refer to the artifact forged by Hephaestus for Hestia, which also cost 200 million fares, so the price asked by Lord Gubernyu is really a friendly price!

"So boy, are you going to forge it or not?"

Lord Gubernyu looked at him with a smile.

Although he asked this, everyone present knew how Xiaolin would answer.

"... Forge, please!"

Xiaolin gritted his teeth and said.

It is true that he knows that he can buy a magic weapon for 200 million fares, but knowing and spending money are two different things. Who would be willing to spend money if they can get it for free?

"Don't look so sad." Seeing Xiaolin's gloomy expression, God Guberniu said: "Many people who want the gods to help forge weapons are not qualified. You should be content. Do you understand!"

"...I know."

He sighed and could only accept it.

In this way, Xiaolin and Aisi, two poor guys who owed a huge amount of money, began to repeatedly kill monsters in the dungeon.

Despite saying so, they did not make an appointment to work together.

Because of efficiency issues.

The upper monsters are no more of a problem to them than cutting melons and vegetables. In this case, fighting alone is easier to accumulate money, not to mention that they cannot form a good cooperation in both work and rest and fighting methods.

However, there is still a weekly battle guidance.

The location is set in the room of the floor master on the 17th floor as usual.

Coming here is as relaxing as going home.

Although Xiaolin has raised Ai Si's combat power, he still underestimated it in the end.

Sword Princess Ai Si is very strong, stronger than Werewolf Bert.

Sword Princess is already agile and specialized. No matter how Xiaolin uses silk threads to entangle and imprison or lays traps, she can always find flaws and escape quickly. Even if she relies on [Five Visions Universal] to see the route in advance and intercept her, Sword Princess Ai Si can finally use wind magic to cut all the silk threads in a few strokes, and then easily distance herself.

In general, the weapon has reached a bottleneck.

"Tsk, isn't this completely no progress?"

Xiaolin smacked his lips unhappily.

It was a week ago that I asked the God of Gubernyu to forge the artifact, and it was the second time that I fought with Sword Lady Ais.

However, unlike the first battle, which benefited me a lot, Xiaolin did not cause any trouble to the opponent this time.

Yes, all the tricks were invalidated.

Are you a Saint Seiya? The tricks that you have seen once are invalid the second time.

In fact, he also knows the reason.

The reason is very simple.

Because Sword Lady Ais knew that the silk thread could not trap her, some attacks that needed to be dodged and retreated chose to break through strongly, which led to Xiaolin losing the initiative and being forced into a dead end step by step, and then defeated.

Sword Lady Ais retracted her long sword and said expressionlessly: "Xiaolin, your fighting is very mature, both in experience and intuition are very mature, I think there is nothing to teach you."

If Xiaolin didn't know that she was a natural fool, he would have thought that the other party thought he was too weak and was unwilling to give battle guidance.

"That's right, you can fight back and forth with Ai Si, Xiaolin, you can already hold your head high."

Another sparring partner, the black-skinned Diona cheered for Xiaolin.

But in fact, Xiaolin has never won a single battle with her.

Not only is her physical fitness ridiculously strong, but her defense is also exaggerated, and her unique skill [Frenzy] will make her stronger the more she is injured, which makes people wonder if there is a 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 such as silk thread are rare. Most people don't have enough experience to deal with them, so they are usually in a hurry and are preempted. However, once they are seen through, they will fall into a passive position, so the strength of the weapon is the top priority.

If you want to change the status quo, you have to wait for the God of Gubernu to forge a divine weapon, but he can't afford it.

Good news: the divine weapon can solve the problem.

Bad news: Can't afford the divine weapon.

"Well... this is a problem."

Diona also began to think.

Suddenly, she saw the weapon of Sword Lady Ai Si, or more precisely, the green whirlwind wrapped around the long sword.

——Wind Spirit Sprint!

Wrapping herself with wind, improving attack, defense, speed and short-distance flight ability, is the best magic used by Sword Lady Ai Si in battle.

"Got it!"

Dark-skinned Diona clapped her hands and exclaimed, immediately attracting the attention of the other two.

"Miss Diona, do you have a solution?"

"Diona?"

Xiao Lin and Ai Si looked at her.

They didn't have high expectations for Diona, who didn't like to use her brain, but they also hoped to get inspiration from her to find a reason to become stronger.

"The answer is magic!"

Diona looked smug.

Magic can't be said to be omnipotent, but with magic, there is the possibility of omnipotence.

The silk thread is very fragile, so let's increase its toughness.

And magic is a good choice.

It must be said that sometimes fools who are keen on fighting are flexible in this regard.

Her words opened the door to a new world.

"Of course, it would be great if you could use wind magic like Ais, Xiaolin." Diona said with a little regret: "Wind magic combined with silk threads increases the attack range and sharpness, and you will definitely become a tricky character."

"...I can." Xiaolin suddenly said.

"What?"

"I said, I can use wind magic."

To be precise, he stole wind magic.

During the battle with Sword Princess, Xiaolin stole the opponent's magic. After all, it is Sword Princess's specialty, and it would be a shame not to learn it.

"Wake up!"

Xiaolin chanted a super short magic, and a green whirlwind suddenly wrapped around his body, the same as Sword Princess Ais.

"...Huh?" X2

Sword Princess Ais and Black Skin Diona were stunned on the spot.

They never expected that Xiaolin would use wind magic, and it was exactly the same wind magic as Sword Princess!

Ais tilted her head and asked: "Diona, are there any other magics that are the same?"

"I don't know."

Diona, who has no magic, could only shake her head.

——Poor imitation

After Kobayashi received the grace and changed his job from adventurer to great magician, he still had some magic. He can learn all magic, but the disadvantage is that the power is reduced and the cost is increased.

Even so, it is still a terrible magic.

With this alone, Kobayashi can become the top of the maze city.

Of course, Xiaolin didn't plan to tell them. After all, no matter how good the relationship was, it was not enough to tell each other about their abilities. Even members of the same family would not do so.

Sword Princess Aisi and Black-skinned Diona obviously knew this truth, so even though they were very curious, they didn't ask in the end.

"Okay, let's start the second round."

After finding a way to become stronger, Xiaolin felt that he was good again.

Then he was beaten up again.

The person fighting him was Diona. I don't know if it was because Xiaolin was stronger than before, so she chose not to hold back.

The LV5 first-level adventurer with full firepower didn't give Xiaolin a chance to breathe. He fainted after being beaten for 5 minutes.

When he woke up again, Sword Princess Aisi and Black-skinned Diona had left.

Xiaolin lay on Liu Zi's legs with no desire to live, sniffing the fragrance that kept pouring into his nose, and began to digest the experience he gained this time while being autistic.

"Master Kobayashi, even if you want to become stronger urgently, it is still embarrassing to be beaten black and blue every time."

Ryu Zi's tone was flat.

Knowing her character, Kobayashi understood that the waiter who protected her master was somewhat dissatisfied with her master's desperate attitude.

"But this is necessary."

Kobayashi said.

There are many ways to become stronger, but there is no shortcut to any method.

...It is impossible.

Thinking of Aqua who sells artifacts to the time travelers indefinitely, Kobayashi felt that his efforts were a joke. If he had known not to work so hard, why would he have fooled Aqua into giving him a few more artifacts?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.

This negative emotion lasted for a long time, and Kobayashi, who had recovered his physical strength and healed, returned to the hotel with the help of Ryu Zi.

The days that followed were very boring.

Just like the game advances to a certain level, it is necessary to accumulate original resources to upgrade weapons and equipment before entering the next chapter, Kobayashi also entered the endless monster-killing stage.

In short, stuck.

Every morning, after getting up and washing up, I would save time by using [Dimensional Array] to fight in the dungeon. In the evening, I would use [Dimensional Array] again to return to the hotel to fight Liu Zi.

Just like that, another week passed.

"No! I can't stand it anymore, I need to rest!"

After killing the last Minotaur, Xiao Lin rolled on the ground and made a noise like a child.

Every day, he was fighting with his eyes open and closed. Even he was disgusted to the point of vomiting.

"Liu Zi, let's go to a big meal today and treat ourselves well!"

"Don't you want to save money, Mr. Xiao Lin? Is it okay to squander like this?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! If you want to swipe monsters better, the combination of work and rest is the kingly way, so... let's go to the tavern to eat tonight! Go to the rich hostess!"

In the evening.

Xiao Lin and Liu Zi came to the tavern and entered the store after being greeted by Aniya.

"Brother, I miss you so much! I haven't come recently! You look tired, what happened?"

"Actually..."

Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain to Anya.

Of course, he didn't mention the artifact, but vaguely said that he was having a headache about forging an expensive weapon.

"Well...but adventurers' 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 Anya, and could only eat the food in front of him with tears in his eyes.

The tavern was still very busy at night, and Anya was soon called away by other guests.

Xiao Lin concentrated on the food in front of him.

Suddenly, a timid voice came from the side.

"Um...can I bother you?"

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Xiao Lin raised his head and saw a thin, white-haired, red-eyed human boy.

An inexplicable weak aura was wrapped around him, making him look like a cowardly rabbit. Although they didn't know each other, Xiaolin still knew him.

——Bell.

The shy boy scratched his cheek, not knowing how to start, but with the encouragement of Hill not far behind him, he closed his eyes and said loudly:

"Thank you for your help!"

"...Hmm?"

The sudden thanks made Xiaolin confused, and Hill behind him couldn't help but hold his forehead.

But soon, the cowardly rabbit Bell explained: "Before, when I was in a hurry to escape, you helped me pay for the meal, so, so... Thank you very much!"

After that, he bowed deeply.

His attitude was quite sincere.

Xiaolin 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: "You were chased by a Minotaur when you were on the 5th floor, right?"

"Yes, that's right..."

Bell looked a little timid, being chased by a minotaur was the thing he least wanted to recall.

"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 launched the [Monster Feast], and it also gave you bad memories. I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay! I also accepted Mr. Xiaolin's help, didn't I?"

Bell waved his hand quickly.

He had no anger towards Xiaolin. After all, he was a novice adventurer like him, so it was understandable that he didn't know that there was such a rule in the dungeon. The most important thing was that he met Sword Lady Ais because of this!

... Although the situation at that time and what happened later (being ridiculed by Werewolf Bert) were a bit unpleasant, at least he had the motivation to move forward.

Xiaolin said to him: "By the way! Why don't you let me treat you!"

"What?"

"I know this is not compensation, but at least let me treat you this time. Bell can order whatever he wants to eat, and I will pay the bill."

"Really, really?!"

Bell was very excited.

But when he thought of his own Lord God still eating fried potato cakes in the basement, he didn't want to have a big meal.

"Lord Hestia..."

"In that case, let's set the treat for tomorrow. You can also bring Bell's Lord God."

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Xiaolin!"

Under Xiaolin's considerate arrangement, Bell agreed and left happily.

Looking at his departing figure, Xiaolin remained silent.

Liu Zi beside him asked: "Master Xiaolin, you seem to be very optimistic about him?"

"Yes, because he is very special." Xiaolin nodded.

The Labyrinth City or the entire "Di Mistake" is extremely dark, but Bell is kind and sunny. How can such a clear stream not be cared for?

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, his essence is a hero. And this is the biggest difference between him and me."
