Can you become stronger without paying money?

"All in all, the reason why you are so relieved is because of the man who is traveling with your eldest lady, right? Riel Orlander is really a very interesting young man. You don't know who he is, do you? ?”

Speaking of this question, Shalan finally put away her smiling face, "I don't know, I'm not joking, but I really don't know, the only thing that is certain is that neither the 'Great Prophecy' nor the 'Malicious Detection' have any response, this man is The eldest lady has no malicious intentions, this is a certain fact, other...then I don't know..."

"..."

So, Riel, who was dragged into the mechanism of the elven ruins and had high hopes from Shalan, stood up calmly and looked around.

The place he is currently in is a man-made cave, and there are clear traces of man-made excavation on the surrounding rock walls... Of course, Riel didn't rely on these traces to determine that it was man-made...

There is a corridor in each of the four directions, front, back, left and right of the cave. Riel is very clear about what mechanism this is. If you go to any of the four corridors, you will come to a cave that is exactly the same. Only by walking through these corridors according to specific rules can you pass through a The same cave to the final destination.

Riel, who knew the rules early in the morning, is of course not in a hurry. Now he wants to do something that he planned long ago while there is no one around.

He called out the engraving of the follower's contract on the back of his hand, and took out a piece of parchment with a wax seal. Now that no one else was watching, he could openly summon his first follower.

"Okay, then let me take a look, um, 'Accompanying cat Elle'? I'm going...Is this the one after the forced drug?!"

Ai Lu, the accompanying cat, among the famous action game monster "hunters", a small orc who moves with the hunter. The specific appearance is a cat who can walk upright on two legs. To communicate, it is the best partner in the hunter's hunting career.

Of course, it is also the role of cuteness in most cases of Monster Hunter...

Riel, who opened the parchment, didn't think that his first follower was actually this one. If he knew it, he wouldn't have to hide it from the other two. A cat is easier to explain than a person.

So Riel went on to read the contents of the parchment.

Follower information -

Race: Elu the accompanying cat

Personality: loving master

Combat Style: Explosive

Possessed skills: Maomao Bomb Continuous Hit (initially included), small flying bombs (initially included), Maomao Missile Chariot (not learned), Maomao Profound Art · [-]-type anti-flying dragon super High Power Dragon Bullet (Unlearned)

Are followers summoned?whether

The corners of Riel's eyes twitched immediately, Nima's skill is like a real person... a terrorist like a cat bomb, but since he has reached this point, he naturally clicked "Yes" along with the atmosphere.

As a result, the parchment in Riel's hand turned into a ball of light and disintegrated and disappeared. At the same time, a figure condensed out of the scattered light.

After the light dissipated, Riel, who saw the opponent's face clearly, was stunned immediately...

About 1.4 meters tall, with healthy wheat-colored skin, which does not match his height, with a perfect figure that is protruding from the front and back, and has two beard-like dark facial lines on his smiling face. The most important thing is... From the smooth short chestnut hair, a pair of fluffy triangular cat ears popped up...

"Meow?" The girl who appeared in the light...with cat ears raised her head and looked at Riel curiously with bright eyes, then raised her fleshy little hand and waved at Riel , "Good morning, Master~"

………………

…………

……

"Coach...where's the cat you promised?!"

Chapter 54 Elven Ruins? Flame ([-])

Well, thank you for the 10000 happy coins rewarded by the reader "Star Carved Wanfa". Today, I will add a new chapter, and the next is the main text, the above~

————————————————————————————————————

Riel squatted down with a complicated face, and looked at the cat-eared girl sitting on the ground. The other party was still blinking bright eyes, and the two looked at each other without saying a word. Riel suddenly felt an old sloth. I can't spit it out in my throat...

...Coach, where's the cat you promised? !

Riel was silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his palm, "Right hand..."

Hearing Riel's words, the girl with cat ears moved the cat ears on her head, and immediately raised her small fleshy hand with joy and placed it on Riel's palm.

"Left hand..."

The cat-eared girl immediately switched hands like lightning, Riel was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke again...

"stand up……"

"Master, these orders are stupid~"

"……sorry"

Riel originally wanted to test the IQ of this cat girl, but she couldn't help but used the tricks she used to molested cats back then. It turned out that this creature that looked like a cat girl didn't seem to have low intelligence. IQ, so Riel coughed and stood up.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is..."

"Well, I know, the master is Ma Teng, ah, now it's Riel Orlande~ I can't mention the previous name, this is the world created by the master, these cats know it~"

Riel was taken aback immediately, and quickly called up the system menu.

"system……"

"Ah, dear, are you looking for me? Hey, why is there a cat here?! Where did the stealing cat come from? It was me first, obviously it was me..."

"...Don't make trouble, don't you know the details of what you made yourself?"

After the daily nonsense was over, Riel coughed twice and cleared his throat, then casually stretched out his hand and gently scratched Miao Niang's chin. The latter closed her eyes comfortably, and there were bursts of purring sounds from her throat, calming her down. While only meowing, Riel stared at the Lihui girl in the system mall.

"How much does this kid know about me, and I actually wanted to ask a long time ago, who are you? I thought you were the AI ​​that came with the system at first, but now it seems that your authority is higher than mine. You can’t even imagine it, maybe you are the incarnation of the system itself, right?”

"Hehe, GM-001, haven't you already mentioned the name? I can't say more, at least not yet. As for how much this child knows, hehe, let me just say that. From the moment you summoned the follower contract, this child has been with you all the time, just in the form of 'data', and I have two layers of 'data' and 'reality' at the same time , can share a lot of information with this child through data sharing, so, do you understand?"

"Oh, I see, I understand the fact that you are super idle on weekdays!"

"Oh, don't say that, it's not such a bad situation to have someone who knows your secrets and is absolutely loyal to you... Uh, cat, by your side anytime, anywhere~"

"Ah, this is indeed the case, forget it, let's do this first..."

After all, Riel closed the system menu, and the next problem was this meow girl.

Riel stopped what he was doing, and Meow Niang, who had been sitting on the ground, also jumped up. At this moment, Riel realized that he couldn't see it just because he was sitting, but now he can clearly see, There is also a slender tail that looks very well maintained behind Meow Niang.

"Do you want to touch it?" Seemingly aware of Riel's gaze, Miao Niang's tail deftly slipped to the front and lifted it up. Riel couldn't help but twitched his eyes and looked at the smooth and smooth tail. Suddenly a burst of dizziness.

"Ahem, forget it, I'm afraid it's too good to be addicted... Back then, my cat owner's tail almost made me feel bald, and then when I found out that I was looking at its tail, it ran away faster than a rabbit..."

After kicking off the conversation with an extremely weird topic, Riel thought of another question.

"By the way, I didn't ask for your name, and it wasn't written on the follower's contract. What's your name?"

Miao Niang simply raised her little hand and waved, "No, name or something... Master give me one~"

Sure enough, it was such a standard routine, Riel was naturally unambiguous, and immediately thought seriously, if it was the name of a cat.

"Well, chocolate, vanilla, red bean, coconut, maple, osmanthus... Which of these names do you like?"

"...No matter which one is full of malice, is it my illusion?"

Well, it's probably not an illusion. It is estimated that the cat raised by Riel sensed some kind of strong desire from the owner, and finally ran away from home...

...However, in the end Riel's cat didn't follow Riel's delusion. After running away from home, he returned as a catwoman to repay his favor... This damn three-dimensional is really annoying!

"Ai Lu!" Suddenly, Miao Niang came up with a name from her mouth, "Ai Lu, Ai Lu~"

Uh, because the breed is Elu cat (hunter accompanying cat), so it is called Elu?This is really a simple and straightforward name, but it doesn't sound like a problem.

"Okay, if you like this name, then from today onwards, your name will be Elle~"

As soon as Riel finished speaking, he suddenly felt a slight heat on the back of his hand, and the follower's contract imprint appeared. At the same time, the follower menu that originally displayed "function locked" was successfully opened. In that column, it originally displayed a string of identity code-like content, but now, all these content have been erased and replaced with the name "Ai Lu".

At this point, the follower contract was formally established, and Riel was considered to have obtained the first follower.

"Okay, then the problem is solved, we can continue to advance the plot~"

There is a pet who knows the details by her side, and she naturally relaxes a lot when talking. After hearing this, Ai Lu immediately raised her little hand in cooperation and cheerfully agreed...

"... oh~"

So, Riel walked towards the corridor directly in front of the first cave without saying a word, and Ai Lu followed closely. When the two stepped into the corridor, they immediately felt a sense of dizziness. Of course, this feeling came and went quickly, and when the dizziness passed, the two found themselves in a cave that was exactly the same as before.

Riel shrugged, and continued to take steps towards the corridor directly in front of him.

After teleportation again, it was the same cave space again, but this time Riel did not continue forward, but turned his head and took steps towards the corridor behind him.

Then, repeat the same action again.

After arriving at the fifth cave, Riel turned around and walked towards the corridor on the left...

The sixth time, to the right...

Seventh time, back to the left...

For the eighth time, continue to the right...

When they were transported to the ninth cave space, the things that appeared in front of Riel and Ailu were finally different. This time, it was no longer the four corridors in front, back, left, and right, but in a closed cave space. There are two corridors on the right, Riel smiled slightly, turned around and took steps towards the corridor on the right.

The teleportation started again, and this time it returned to the corridor with two forked roads.

"OK, this is the last teleportation~"

Riel said so with a smile, but Elle, who had been with Riel several times in a row, hadn't recovered yet.

"Ale, master... what kind of law is this?"

Riel smiled and pointed to the two forked roads in front of him. This time, he stepped into the left forked road, "This is simple, you try to read all the directions we have walked before... ..."

Ailu followed Riel's footsteps, and read obediently as she stepped into the corridor.

"Well, back and forth, left and right, and then two and one? Ah!"

Ailu came back to her senses immediately...

This series of instructions, as long as there is a slight change, the law can be seen...

Up and down, left and right, BA!

A standard cheat book that will be engraved in the hearts of children as long as their childhood is not too sad. It carries the best memories of Riel's childhood, countless days and nights...

Speaking of the origin of this cheat, there is a very interesting little story.

It was a certain game programmer. After developing a shooting game, he was assigned another task by the boss who was short-staffed - "game testing"...

To put it simply, it is to open the game and go through the level from the beginning to make sure that the game itself has no bugs or errors. After completing this step of testing, the game can be officially released for sale.

However, at that time, because the difficulty of the game was extremely high, and the programmer who was in charge of testing happened to be handicapped, after being abused countless times, the buddy suddenly remembered something...

Fuck, buddy is the developer of this game, isn’t the programmer the creator of the game? !Why should I honestly play the game the way normal gamers do? !

So, the mentally distorted buddy who was abused immediately added a piece of code to the main program of the game. You only need to enter a special command at the beginning of the game, and you can directly get all the weapons in the first level of the game and the full level of all weapons .

Through this cheat, that buddy easily cleared the entire game, then signed the result of the game test, and left this matter behind...

...yeah, this dude forgot one thing...he didn't delete that cheat code.

So, after the game was sold, a master soon discovered the secret, and that buddy thought he was doomed, and the president would definitely let him pack up and leave, but unexpectedly, the president praised his brilliant idea, and Said that this design of "cheating within the allowed range of the game to reduce the difficulty of the game, so that some players who are not good at the game can also experience the game well" is worth keeping...

Therefore, this cheat book became a reserved easter egg in many games of the company after that. Of course, the most famous one is Contra's [-] lives at the beginning...

Riel is not quite sure whether the story itself is true or not, because after all, he has never verified it, but he just feels that this story is somewhat similar to his current situation, so he remembered it at this moment...

As a game developer, the God of Creation... can that be called cheating? !At best, it can be regarded as reducing the difficulty of the game within a reasonable range, yes... I am righteous!

Under this kind of wild thinking, the last teleportation ended, Riel came to a wide hall that was completely different from the previous cave maze, and in that hall, Sapphire was walking around anxiously, watching After Riel appeared in the hall, she immediately greeted her with surprise on her face.

"Great, have you walked out of the cave maze? Well, it's all my fault that I forgot to come out. I should have told you about the mechanism of the maze in advance. Hey, let's talk about Riel, how did you get out of the maze, uh... "

After a series of content, Sapphire stopped speaking, because she saw behind Riel, a small cat-eared girl carefully hiding behind Riel, revealing half of her head, shining brightly. eyes, looking at her curiously...

"...you listen to my explanation"

"...Well, I'm listening, you make up...tell me"

Chapter 55 Elven Ruins? Flame ([-])

"That is to say... you found this demi-human girl in the ruins?"

Riel explained the explanation he had prepared earlier in the morning, but Sapphire didn't seem to be able to accept this explanation very well. Although it is possible to find anything in the elven ruins, it is also possible to find a living person directly. There's still something about that.

"...Why do demihumans appear in the elf ruins? The appearance of a living ancient elf is more reliable than this. Although if there are living ancient elves, it will be a great discovery that shakes the world."

Since Ruier dared to use this excuse to talk nonsense from the very beginning, he naturally thought of a complete explanation for himself early in the morning, so he immediately came to speak nonsense.

"This is not impossible. After all, one of the most popular guesses in the "Demihuman Origin Theory" is that the so-called subhuman is the product of the research conducted by the ancient Machka and the ancient elves? This is the remains of the elves. , if that statement is true, it is not impossible to find demihumans here."

"Uh... well, it does make sense..."

Sapphire also accepted this statement in the end, but she still looked at Elle a little weirdly, but there was no way around it, people in this world had too many ambiguous attitudes towards demihumans.
