Chapter 48 Strongness is a matter of version

After some wrestling, Lu Xi, who hadn't specially trained in strength, was defeated first, and let go of his hands helplessly.

This pink guy is almost as heavy as a mountain after using the iron wall!Not to mention that he is wearing such a set of heavy knight armor!

"Huh! Stop playing!"

Sitting down on the bench in the garden, Lu Xi took a deep breath: "Why do we have to go as a team? Let me tell you in advance, the four of us are all rated E, and we haven't even issued the novice protection period." , does not meet the requirements of the guild at all?"

"It's President Fallon's special request, I'm just here to send a message."

Cupid shrugged his shoulders, and also sat down beside Lu Xi: "I also want to ask you why you are so unwilling to come! Exploring a new maze that has never been visited by anyone is an extremely rare experience even in the imperial capital. Those who are lucky enough to participate do not know How proud."

"Proud..."

Lu Xi rubbed his head and fell into a brief silence.

There are actually reasons to shirk.

The first and most important point is of course because it cannot be used in the maze, at least not for a long time.

It's been over a month since I first returned from the maze.During this month, I tried to avoid using time-stop, and went out to find people to play with, so that I could recover from that nervous state of mind as soon as possible.After all, the long experience of walking in the forest with Nana on your back and cutting stones is not as easy as ordinary people imagine, and it is still necessary to relax in a planned way.

It was a surprise to get acquainted with the ordinary adventurers headed by the pink hair in front of me. Now that I am walking on the streets of Rhine City, people will come to say hello to me from time to time.

And under this strategy of [rest and recuperation], the time left for me is——

[Countdown: 1 days and 16 hours on January 8. 】

——As you can see, about 40 days, whether it is long or not, is not short.

If you encounter a monster like a stone giant in the maze, it's okay to stop and beat it, but if you don't control the time well, the countdown will reset to zero after exiting the maze, and the world will jump out of the shark.

As for the second reason...

"I'm afraid of encountering some high-profile events, really afraid."

Lu Xi leaned on the bench with a vicissitudes of life, looking at the sky with deep eyes:

"Newly discovered labyrinths, mysterious ruins, legendary seals...these are [fate], it's hard for you to understand."

As the saying goes, the traveler has his own halo of the protagonist, even if he has excess self-awareness, I am also a child of luck who is loved by the world consciousness. If it is so unfortunate that I encounter some mainline events——

[The system has already said before that that kind of dramatic experience can only exist in literary works.Moreover, if the world was really conscious, it would have taken a knife and cut down the host long ago, how could it be—]

Kneading the system light screen into a ball like rubbing snot paper, Lu Xi looked away.

It hurts, the system.

Can't the host let me think about it?

"Anyway, I'm afraid I can't take this task—"

"—Huh? Mission? What mission?"

Zelika's voice sounded abruptly from behind Lu Xi, and the next moment, two arms wrapped around his neck.

Putting her head on Lu Xi's shoulder, Celica saw the contents of the task book in his hand:

"Explore a new labyrinth! It's great! A journey full of unknowns and dangers, the joy of overcoming many difficulties and finally reaching the end, my family Lu Xi, when shall we set off?"

"Who, who told you to go?!"

His face was a little hot from the heat from the girl's words, and Lu Xi stood up instantly.

It's nothing more than a Zorika!This brainless guy must have made such an action just now because I was blocking the mission book!A brat who has no gender concept!

"Okay, okay, it's good to go out for a stroll~"

Before Lu Xi could react, a soft little hand suddenly touched his head, and at the same time, Celica's gentle voice sounded:

"It's rare that someone entrusts you. As an adventurer, responding to the needs of others is a bounden duty."

Cy, Celica—

Looking at the girl in front of her who was very clear under the sunlight, Lu Xi felt that something in her heart seemed to be touched.

"——Besides, staying at home as a nit will make you useless."

"……what?"

Celica rubbed Lu Xi's head faster and faster, and the expression on her face also changed from a short-lived holy smile to a cheap and funny one:

"Really! Lu Xi has been staying at home for a long time and hasn't accepted the task? Puff puff puff ~ Secretly tell you, Yuxia has been practicing new magic arts, Nana has done a lot of upgrades for the doll, and the most important thing is Dear me! I have mastered a powerful skill commensurate with my 【Devil Flame Maker of Darkness】—see it, and then tremble! 【Final Destruction Rhapsody】!"

Following Celica's inexplicably high singing, a black flame rose from her palm, and then spread from her arm to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed, forming a coat of black flames.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Black Flame and Celica's extremely confident aura give people the same feeling as the world-destroying dragon Tiamat.

That being said, it's pretty cool.

Looking at Celica's appearance, Lu Xi couldn't help but suddenly realized:

It turns out that when I relax, everyone is getting stronger——

"Ah! This is the [Flame Color Changing Technique] of [Party Magic Series], right!"

When Lu Xi was speechless for a while, the pink-haired knight next to him slapped his hands:

"I miss it so much. When I was young, I was very envious when I saw other people using it! However, Miss Celica's control is really strong for being able to use this low-level skill so proficiently!"

Seeing the truth being seen through, Celica's expression became a little stiff:

"Hahaha, over the top, over the top... yay!!"

"Oh, so it's just [low-level skills]."

Just as Celica was about to run away with a dry smile, an arm straddled the black inflammation on her body that was useless except for looking good, and firmly grasped her shoulder:

"You also said that I went to play [every day], so I would like to ask Miss Celica, why did you only learn one [low-level skill]?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Celica touched Lu Xi's hair subconsciously: "Strength is a matter of one version, handsome is a matter of a lifetime, with this skill, I will be more oppressive to the enemy in the future, no, no It's pretty good~"

For a moment, I actually thought this guy was cute... I'm not mature enough for this kind of me.

Under the delicate gaze of the pink-haired knight, Lu Xi lowered his head and smiled.

time stop.

After going around.

chokehold.

Release.

Delica, pawn.

Chapter 49 Before the war, there must be supplies

"It's finally here..."

Looking at the powerful adventurers gathered in the guild hall exuding an extraordinary aura, Lu Xi sighed tiredly.

According to the pink-haired knight who abducted him, President Fallon fully recognized his achievements in defeating the stone giants.Based on the idea that more support means less danger, Faron specially arranged Lu Xi's team into the list of participants, and if they didn't come, they would invite them in person.

Since people's attitude is so firm, it's not easy for Lu Xi to shirk.Taking a step back, even if you encounter monsters like stone giants, with Faron and other adventurer teams around, Lu Xi should not be in a situation where he has to stop when he has to drive.

"Lu Xi! You're here!"

While thinking about it, a familiar greeting sounded from above. Lu Xi looked up and saw that it was Faron walking down from the second floor.

Compared with the seriousness at the first meeting, Faron today is obviously a bit more heroic as a high-level adventurer. He patted Lu Xi on the shoulder vigorously, and pointed to the adventurers in the hall who were rearranging their equipment:

"Look, the equipment on these guys has been upgraded a lot, it's all thanks to the ore you brought!"

"I can't talk about credit. After all, the guild also gave me a corresponding reward. Generally speaking, it is a mission that everyone is satisfied with."

Lu Xi smiled modestly: "I don't know how is the progress of the matter I entrusted to the guild a few days ago?"

"Oh! It's about resupplying equipment for your teammates! We're doing it!"

Fallon looked at the three girls behind Lu Xi: "The universal toolbox for Nana, Celica's brand new staff, and...and..."

Yushia: (laughs)

When he saw Yuxia who was smiling quietly, the heroic smile on Faron's face suddenly froze:

"...Well, there is also the enchanting necklace for this young lady, and I have hired a special person to make it. In consideration of directly increasing the combat power for this mission, I have asked people to work overtime to make the equipment you requested, Lu Xi. "

We have already done?

Hearing this, Lu Xi's emotions suddenly rose: "Huh? Really!"

"of course."

Fallon glanced sideways, and immediately a staff member brought up a package:

"According to your request, this piece of equipment uses the precious ore of the earth system at the core of the stone giant, so it has some subtle attributes attached to it. You can see for yourself."

[Thick Soil Bracers: Equipment made of rare earth element crystals as the core, which is powerful enough to provide stone giants with unique effects. 】

[Skills: Continuous strikes—activate the powerful power of the core of the earth element through continuous attacks. The more times you attack the same target in a row, the greater the damage will be.Note that the upper limit of the energy level is three times the Golem's full power. 】

[PS: Big milk tank!Use round!scroll!scroll!scroll!scroll!scroll! 】

... Another precise complaint in the style of the system.

Looking at the adventurer card that had been completely changed by the system to make it look bad, Lu Xi didn't say much.

The adventurer card, which is one of my abilities, can also function normally during the time stop. The stronger the system makes it, the greater the convenience for me during the time stop.

The most important thing is the equipment in hand.

Excitedly putting on the wristband, Lucy looked at it fondly.

"Is it really that good?"

Looking at Lu Xi with a frown, Faron asked hesitantly: "Although this looks like a good piece of equipment for a war of attrition. But generally speaking, a war of attrition is equivalent to a group battle, and it can only cause damage to a single target." The effect is the opposite of its application scenario, and both the foundry and I feel that this additional skill is quite subtle."

Although it is an increase, but if you want to use the [Continuous Strike] skill to make a real improvement, I am afraid that you will have to fight one-on-one for a long time.It's not a holy fighter who throws countless punches in a second. In Faron's impression, one-on-one battles are rarely dragged on for such a long time.

Faced with Fallon's question, Lu Xi just smiled slightly:

"It may be true for others, but for me, there is nothing more useful than this."

In the use of bug stop, weak or poor defense enemies are no different from paper, and can be solved by poking at the vital point.What gave Lu Xi the most headache was actually the boss enemies with high blood pressure.

Repeated labor for a long time is too mentally polluted. If I had this wrist guard when I was fighting against the stone giants, the more I chiseled, the more powerful it would be, I'm afraid it would save more than half of the time.

"—Well, since you said that, I won't ask any more questions. Get ready, the exploration team is about to leave."

Patting Lu Xi's shoulder vigorously, Faron took a deep breath, stood in the center of the hall and shouted to the adventurers:

"It's the same for everyone! Although the intelligence department predicts that the maze this time is likely to be a lower level, we must not let our guard down! Those fools who would take it lightly because of the weakness of their opponents have already died in the chug rabbit group! Everything is under the command, and everyone can make a fortune in the maze together, this is the purpose of our trip, do you understand!"

Grounded!

The adventurers who naturally like to pursue adventures and treasures looked at each other tacitly, and then, the applause resounded in the entire adventurer hall:

"Listen to the command! Get a fortune! Ula!!!!!!"

Seeing the extremely enthusiastic atmosphere in front of him, President Fallon smiled slightly, turned his head and whispered to Miss OL at the side:

"The old rule is that when we come back, the price of drinks will increase by [-]%, and the price will be adjusted back the next morning."

Miss OL nodded with contempt: "Okay, I understand."

-

"Woo! Unexpectedly, I'm going to explore the maze again!"

Celica squinted her eyes happily: "What kind of monster will I meet? I wish it was a handsome type~"

"A monster can't be said to be handsome or not."
