They don't want me to work harder

Facts have proved that to escape for your life, you only need to be faster than others.

After he was safe, Hepel panted heavily, patted his chest, and looked at Richard's back.

Sure enough, as little Zoe said, he is a reliable person.

She didn't have time to wait for the redness on her face to fade away before she said sincerely: "Thank you."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the roar of the giant in the distance again, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned.

"This time, it's really hard to handle..."

Chapter 24 What to sleep on?Get up hey!

Richard and Tom met, and the three of them rested where they were.

Looking at the ashes giant chasing others in the distance, Hepel sighed.

"With it, we will all fail this time..."

Richard asked: "How do you say it?"

"The giant will attack all moving objects within sight, and will continue to cause earthquakes, making the tunnel inaccessible... If we want to open treasure chests or destroy monsters, we will inevitably be attacked by the giant."

Hepel explained: "I heard that a similar unexpected situation occurred five or six years ago. That time the giant woke up three hours later. As a result, everyone still failed to open enough treasure boxes and failed the grade."

“Wouldn’t the school relax the requirements as appropriate?”

"No, accidents are inevitable in life. Saint Goethe is a bit more serious in this regard."

After listening to this, Richard looked at Tom from the corner of his eye, who was also the person who needed the credits the most.

The old senior's face was even paler and uglier than Hepel's.

His soulless eyes stared blankly at the patch on his trousers.

Richard had been a little strange before. He knew that Tom's family was not rich, but logically speaking, they should not be able to afford a complete pair of trousers. Now, following Tom's line of sight, he immediately understood the reason.

There are very fine patterns on the four legs of the patch. It can be seen that the person who made the patch was very careful and deliberately imitated the common styles of aristocratic clothing. It was by no means perfunctory like ordinary tailor shops.

In other words, [-]% of this was sewn by Tom's mother herself.

Richard thought of the kind woman he had seen at the banquet that day.

Is it because of this that you are unwilling to replace it?Do you feel that you can't fit into the various circles of the school anyway, so you just break out and continue to wear clothes to express your longing for your family?

He couldn't guess whether that was what Tom was thinking in his heart, but he knew that the strong emotion in his eyes couldn't lie.

"I think there is another way we can try."

After thinking about it, Richard spoke: "Since there are two silver-level monsters in the illusion world, let's wake up the other one and let it attract the attention of the Ash Giant. Can't we take the opportunity to rummage through the treasure chest and attack it?" Have you killed other monsters?"

The other two looked up.

Hepel immediately expressed his objection: "These two monsters are at the north and south ends respectively. They are far apart. Even if we wake them up, it will be difficult for them to meet. Instead, they will knock us down before then."

As for Tom, there was a slight glimmer of hope in his eyes at first, but then he gritted his teeth and shook his head.

He thought to himself: Tom, Tom, you are such a loser. You can forget about it if you can't graduate. Why do you still want to ask your junior to take risks for you?ungrateful!

He sighed and said, "Richard, this is indeed too risky. You are only in the first grade, so it's not worth it..."

His voice was always breathless, and he was interrupted by Richard before he could finish speaking.

"You should try it anyway."

Richard stood up and said firmly: "I don't want to fail the first time I explore the fantasy world after going to school. As for taking risks... I have been taking risks from the moment I stepped into the empire."

Tom and Hepel still wanted to persuade, but Richard said: "Even if you two don't come, I will try alone."

"Okay, okay, I see that you won't change your mind, junior."

In the end, Hepel shrugged helplessly, gently lifted up his big brown waves, tied them into a ponytail for easy movement, and said to Richard: "You just saved me once, and I can only accompany you once~"

"Thank you, senior!"

"But I have to make a deal with you, junior. Once you can't avoid the monsters' pursuit, you must use the teleportation scroll immediately!"

Tom also said: "Richard, I mean the same thing. No matter what, safety is the most important thing."

Richard smiled and responded: "Of course."

Outside the fantasy world, the auditorium.

More and more people are paying close attention to the Red Hell Mine.

Due to the small number of first and second graders among the bystanders and the excellent operation of Richard's new offensive, at this moment, the voices mocking Richard finally no longer dominated the mainstream.

While the teachers remained silent, the students were roughly divided into two groups.

One group supported Richard.

"His idea is theoretically sound!"

"As long as they meet, the two monsters are lords and will inevitably fight, and the plan will succeed!"

The other faction...

"Theory and reality are different. The questions in the theoretical exam are all ones I have studied. In reality..."

"The two monsters are too far away. As long as they run a little slower, they will be caught up!"

"It's easy to say that the Ash Giant is slow, but I remember the other monster is the old centipede, right? It has hundreds of legs and is very fast!"

"All right, all right, stop arguing."

In the end, a few students who usually like to have fun stood up and became peacemakers.

They suggested with a smile: "Since the differences are so big, let's take a bet. Not only can we bet on who will win in the end, but we can also bet on how long it will take for Richard to catch up~"

"I bet five silver coins!"

"I bet gold coins..."

For a time, the auditorium was filled with happy air.

In the fantasy world, the three Richards were divided into two groups.

Hepel and Tom were responsible for seducing the Ash Giant, while Richard went to find the giant centipede on the other side of the map. Originally, the senior and senior sister wanted to take this more dangerous job, but Richard rejected them.

Richard felt that since he insisted on taking risks, he should be allowed to do the most dangerous tasks.

What's more, as a summoner, he has more ways to escape or find a scapegoat...

About half an hour later, Richard arrived at the southernmost point of the illusion world.

There is a crater with a diameter of 100 meters, and the magma inside is constantly smoking and bubbling like a pot of soup.

With a casual glance, he saw the goal of his trip.

The head of a two-meter-long and wide centipede is lying on the edge of the crater, motionless, enjoying the baby-like sleep of Kira Yoshikage's special edition.

"The Giant Lava Centipede is a unique variant in the Red Hell Mine. Its strength is in the middle of Silver, but its shell is extremely hard..."

Richard approached cautiously while recalling the information.

Finally, about 30 meters away, he stopped, drank a bottle of magic replenishing potion, and summoned four water elements in one go.

The water elements spread out and aimed at the centipede's head from different positions.

Fire an ice arrow!

Boom!

After a round of attacks, the centipede... showed no reaction.

...Hiss, is this a dead baby?

"Is this thing so difficult to wake up? How did the Ash Giant wake up early..."

Richard scratched his head and summoned his bomb rabbit again.

He made the rabbits jump around and get into the centipede's mouthparts, and then let the water element shoot ice arrows.

"How can you sleep at your age? Do you know that you want to learn from Zhang Huaimin? Get up and have fun!"

This time, the entire ground shook with the sound of explosions and the unpleasant smell.

Click, click, click...

After being fed a mouthful of hot and spicy stinky tofu, Huai Min...ah no, the giant centipede finally woke up!

"...you oil the road!"

Seeing that his plan was successful, Richard summoned his horse and rode towards the north.

Behind him, a centipede dozens of meters long crawled out of the magma, hundreds of pairs of sharp claw limbs clicking against each other.

With a sweeping sweep, a black shadow flashed past, and the four water elements left behind were evaporated on the spot.

Then the centipede chased towards Richard, and in the strong wind, its ferocious reflection enveloped the heads of the man and the horse.

In the school auditorium, onlookers started talking again.

But this time, most people did not support Richard.

"Looking at it this way, isn't the centipede too fast?"

"The horse can't run at all. He will be overtaken within a kilometer!"

"It's over, it's over, this first grader is done."

"My gold coins..."

In the fantasy world.

Looking at the huge shadow gradually approaching, Richard took a deep breath.

Active skill, [Destiny Writer], activate!

Chapter 25 That year, I put my hands in my pockets

[Fate Writer], an active skill obtained by Richard during his second simulation, has the effect of modifying the probability of something happening.

Originally, he planned to save this trick to deal with Hamilton's possible backhand.Now it seems that the rampaging ashes giant may be their masterpiece. In this case, he no longer hides his clumsiness.
