Chapter 22 Treasure Box Monster

"Wait a minute." Yakumo cast a double-click and got a hit response: "Okay, let's go, that's a treasure chest monster."

"Can we be sure so quickly?" Xin Meier asked curiously, "I heard that some magicians can use magic to determine whether a treasure chest is a treasure chest monster, but it seems that it is not completely accurate, right?"

"No, the magic I use will automatically search for enemies. Any hostile creature I see will be attacked. But if it's an ordinary box, item, or flower, there will be no reaction."

"My magic just hit, so it couldn't be a regular item. There's no such thing as a hostile trap, so it could only be a monster." He has never made a mistake on this point.

"Is that so? Let's go." Xin Meier turned around without hesitation. Since Yakumo had explained, he was willing to trust his teammates. The treasure chest monster was not worth their nostalgia. There would be nothing valuable.

"Wait a minute! Even the magic to identify treasure chest monsters may be wrong, so other methods are also possible, right?" Fulilian's feet seemed to have taken root: "Exploring this possibility is the fun of adventure!"

"Hey, Frillian, you can't be..." Haita couldn't help but speak as he watched Frillian walking towards the treasure chest monster.

"Yakumo, I can feel the magic in this. There must be an exciting magic book in it!" Fulilian was already squatting in front of the box, stroking the top of the box with her hands, as if she was stroking a precious treasure.

"As long as we open this box, we might be able to get a precious magic book that we have never seen before..." Before Fulilian finished her words, the wooden treasure chest opened its mouth and swallowed Fulilian's upper body.

"..." Silence is Cambridge tonight.

"Wow wow, it's so dark, so scary!!" It was Frillian's scream that broke the silence. God, it was the first time that Yakumo heard Frillian's voice so lively, and he even wanted to listen to it for a while longer.

"Wow! Furlian was eaten by the treasure chest!" Xin Meir panicked and ran to Furlian, trying to pull Furlian out of the treasure chest monster's mouth.

But the treasure chest monster was biting too tightly, and there was no way to pull Frillian out successfully.

"Wait a minute, Xin Meier." Perhaps because she felt someone was helping her, Fulilian seemed to calm down now: "I can't pull it out at this time, I will be torn apart by the treasure chest monster."

"After being bitten by the Treasure Chest Monster, you have to push it inward. This will make the Treasure Chest Monster feel 'nauseous' and spit out the things it bit." Fulilian explained quickly.

"What kind of vomiting method is this..." When Yakumo complained, Xinmei had already rescued Frillian.

After killing the treasure chest monster with a magic, Fulilian began to fix her hair. After being bitten by the treasure chest monster for so long, Fulilian's hair had already become a mess. However, Yakumo's eyes were attracted by the remnants of the treasure chest monster.

I don’t know if Xinmeier and the others can see that Yakumo saw something in the remains of the treasure chest monster.

"What's wrong, Yakumo?" Xin Mei

Seeing that Yakumo looked a little dazed, Er came over and looked at the wreckage curiously.

"Can't you see?" Yakumo rummaged through the wreckage and took out two crystal-like objects with stones on the bottom and crystals on the top. These things are called monster crystals in the game and are used to make equipment.

"Xinmeier, stretch out your hand." Yakumo placed one of the monster crystals in Xinmeier's hand. Xinmeier could feel something being put down in his hand, but he still couldn't see it. But the weight in his hand would not lie.

"It's amazing. I can really feel something in my hand." Xin Meier continued to hold the monster crystal in his left hand and tried the shape of the monster crystal with his right hand: "It feels a bit like some crystal mother ore has just been mined."

"Indeed, but I can't see it either." Aize also tried to touch the monster crystal. Everyone, including Fulilian, could touch it, but they couldn't see it.

"What are these things for?" Xin Meier was a little curious. This was a situation he had never encountered before, and this special situation inevitably made Xin Meier a little concerned.

"How should I put it? It can probably be used to make equipment, right?" Yakumo thought for a moment and said, "Collect more of them and use them to make weapons, armor, and the like. Although there aren't many types that can be made."

"This is already a huge improvement." Xin Meier returned the monster crystal to Yakumo: "If you have more in the future, remember to tell us, and we will try our best to collect them for you."

Being able to make equipment is so important. Everyone's weapons and armor are likely to wear out, and sometimes maintenance can only extend the life of the equipment to a certain extent, but it cannot maintain it forever.

Except for some very special equipment, Yakumo didn't know whether these people had changed their equipment or armor in the original work, but since it has become a reality, these have to be considered.

"I agree, after all, it will save a lot of money." Haita said optimistically: "It's a good thing to save money!"

"I don't have any objection." Fulilian finally fixed her hair. "I don't need weapons."

Fulilian's long staff is indeed a very good equipment. Yakumo borrowed it to take a look at it. He found that his current level could not fully unleash the power of the equipment.

"I plan to... make a magician shield first." Yakumo flipped through the skill list. There were many things added to the forging, including the electromagnetic light shield that Yakumo had once liked the most. However, the monster crystals were not enough now, and he needed to collect some more.

"Okay! Then let's find more treasure chest monsters next!" Although they are not treasure chests, there are still gains, which is really good for everyone at the moment.

"There is no magic book..." Fulilian was a little disappointed. Compared with the equipment, the magic book attracted her more.

"Flillian, since there is a treasure chest monster here, it means there must be a treasure chest. It would be meaningless for a treasure chest monster to appear in a maze without a treasure chest, right?" Xin Meir advised optimistically.

"Well, that's true." Fulilian only hesitated for a moment before adjusting her mindset. Xin Meier was right. There were still many places in the maze that had not been explored, and there were still many unknown contents.

"I wish I had some of that optimism," said Hatta, with his shoulders drooped. "I was frightened enough by the stone ball just now."

"Haha, I've already given it to you!" Xin Meier patted Haita's shoulder: "And we got through it safely, so this is considered an adventure!"

"Just walking straight to the end, is this what Haita wants?"

Chapter 23 Exploring Downward

"That's not the case..." Haita originally had no idea about setting out to defeat the Demon King. He was not the type to take the initiative to help others. Perhaps it was because he had been with Xinmeier for a long time that he gradually changed.

"Then let's continue on our way!" Xin Meier easily brushed aside the matter. After being interrupted by Xin Meier, everyone stopped thinking about this issue.

[Eri: What? This person is a natural born protagonist! Is it possible to see such a pure protagonist in this era?!]

[Yakumo: That’s why he can lead everyone to defeat the Demon King. ]

[Yakumo: By the way, our group doesn’t have a group mall? Many novels have one, right?]

[Funina: Actually, there are some, but it seems that they have not been unlocked yet, and there are not many items. ]

Funina regularly paid attention to the chat group, and she explored all the places she could. Funina was actually a very careful person, otherwise she would not have been able to stay in the position of the water god for so long without being discovered.

[Fu Nina: It’s just that among the products, I haven’t seen anything related to time travel yet. Can this group really allow people to time travel? ]

[Yakumo: I think it shouldn't be the mall's problem. I have some ideas, but I couldn't find the right person to experiment with at that moment. Also, maybe the mall can let us upload products ourselves? ]

[Yakumo: For example, encouraging mutual transactions and group sign-in. This function has just been unlocked, don’t forget to sign in. ]

【Shu: I think it’s fine for us now. Once we get involved in a deal, things will go wrong. Sometimes, it will be a bit like my brother.】

[Yakumo: Brother? Who is it?]

【Shu: Lao Qi, Ji. Although he is a tailor, he is now keen on doing business. Alas, sometimes I don’t understand what he is thinking.

It's very cute. 】

【Yakumo: Oh, the family hero...】

【Shu: What kind of hero? 】

[Yakumo: No, nothing. I'll just leave it there for now. It might be useful in the future. If there are any updates to products like the Transmigration Talisman, you can keep an eye out for them.]

Yakumo thought that the mall might be useful for more than just this. What if there were props like invitations to join a group? The more people there are in a group chat, the more lively it is. Besides, the sign-in has been released, so it is better to have the points in hand for a safer future.

"It looks like this should be the road leading to the lower levels." Aize pointed in the direction where the stone ball rolled.

"Very good, then let's go back the way we came and take a look at the road we didn't go through before." Xin Meier made the decision without hesitation: "If there is any treasure on the road, it would be a pity to miss it."

"Rather than treasure, I want to see if there are any suitable herbs..." In addition to forging, Yakumo's skills also include crafting, which is used to make potions. This is a life skill that will be unlocked in the later stage.

Judging from the formulas that have been unlocked so far, red, orange, and white potions can be made, and blue potions and vitality potions are also no problem. Yakumo doesn't know how effective this potion will be for the people in this world. His ultimate goal is to make a super potion.

There are also some potions that Yakumo has never seen, such as the Cross Hunter series and the Alchemy series. Many of these potions have strong recovery effects, but Yakumo does not have the formula yet.

Combined with the background of this world, Yakumo felt that he might have to search in the treasure chest. Just like the monster crystals before, perhaps his system had made some changes combined with this world, so Yakumo was also keen on opening the treasure chest.

"But, Xin Meier, I suggest you go down first, and then look for the fork in the road you didn't go to when you come back. I have memorized that place, and I won't miss it when I come back."

There is something called "fog of war" on his map, which is the most common in MOBA and RTS games. Perhaps it is because of the exploration of the maze, only the unlocked places will make the fog disappear.

The place they didn't go to just now was still covered by black fog on the map, so there was no need to worry about missing it.

"You are really reliable, Yakumo." Xin Meier immediately praised: "Then let's go downstairs as Yakumo said. Aize, please take charge of the defense of the rear."

As the captain, Xin Meier walked in the front and led the way. Haita was in the middle of the team. As a monk, he was relatively fragile. Fulilian was between Haita and Aize, so she could take care of both sides.

Yakumo's position is quite random, because he can move quickly, he can support any position at any time. And when everyone set out, Yakumo also buffed all the members of the team, such as blessing mental strength, and all that can be applied.

The duration of the buff is also completely different from that in the game, lasting for several hours, which is definitely a technical change.

Along the way, we encountered various traps such as spikes, traps, flamethrowers, etc. The most dangerous one was the ceiling pressing down.

It was a long corridor. After entering, a thick stone wall fell behind him, and the ceiling above his head was slowly falling. Yakumo didn't know how he did it, but he could only say that the magic was quite amazing.

Fortunately, Yakumo's flying ability did not consume magic power. With the help of Fulilian's magic to make objects float, flying and moving quickly, they actually quickly crossed the trap.

It’s actually a lot easier than the original stone ball trap!

"I never thought that the trap could be passed so easily..." Haita was still in shock. When the ceiling collapsed just now, he was really scared to death.

"Sure enough, it was the right decision to invite you to join me on this journey." Xin Meier also sat on the floor and laughed: "I have to say, my feeling is still very accurate."

"Don't be so conceited now, hey," Haita said dryly.

"Come and look, there is a treasure chest here." The most stable people should be Aize and Fulilian. Fulilian has already started searching around.

"Let me see... well, it doesn't look like a treasure chest monster." Yakumo used magic double-click like before.

"Ah, it's a magic book..." Before Yakumo finished testing, Fulilian had already opened the box. Fortunately, this was not a treasure chest monster, otherwise Fulilian would inevitably be swallowed again.

"From time to time, I should be thankful that there are no tentacles or anything like that..." Yakumo thought somewhat evilly. Don't try it anymore. Anyway, whether it's a treasure chest monster or not, Frillian will definitely open it.

Chapter 24: The Magic of Making Shaved Ice

"How is it? What kind of magic is it?" Hearing Fulilian say that she got the real magic book, Haita couldn't help but feel curious. Is this the first official harvest of this expedition?

"It's a magic that can create shaved ice." Fulilian had finished reading the magic book while she was talking. "The magic doesn't seem to be difficult, so do you want to try it?"

"Of course." Haita had already taken the bowl.

Fulilian took her wand and placed the end with the gemstone on top of Haita's bowl. After a while, finely crushed sorbet fell from the top of Fulilian's wand and all fell into Haita's bowl.

"Ohhhh! It's out.

It really came out!" Haita looked at the more and more shaved ice in the bowl and began to scream excitedly: "It's shaved ice, it's really shaved ice! It's fluffy, not sandy shaved ice!"

"Haita looks very excited." Yakumo put one hand on his waist, a little uncomfortable with the contrast.

"Haha, after all, this is applying magic to life, and it is really useful, isn't it?" Xin Meir said as he looked at the parchment scroll he took out from the treasure chest, which seemed to contain information about other mazes.

"It looks really boring." Aize complained out of habit, but after complaining, he added: "I want grape flavored shaved ice."

"What are you talking about, Aize?" Fulilian turned around and looked at Aize in surprise: "There is only magic that can make shaved ice, but there is no magic that can make syrup. So there is no syrup."

"Huh?" Haita, who was excitedly continuing to shave ice, froze: "No syrup? It can't be called shaved ice without syrup!"

"Of course, it's just a magic trick to make shaved ice after all." Frillian answered as if it was a matter of course, but Haita seemed to be burning out. Without syrup, is there any difference between eating ice cubes?

"It's so boring..." Another complaint from Aize.

"I really can't do anything about you guys..." Yakumo rubbed his forehead and said, "Furillian, can you let me see the magic book? And Haita, give me the shaved ice in your hand first."

"Here." "Take it."

It is not difficult to create the magic of shaved ice. Just as Fulilian said, it may be limited by the imagination of the magic developer, so this magic cannot create syrup.

But the bowl filled with ice chips in Haita was different. Yakumo opened the alchemy interface and put the shaved ice in as a material. Two options appeared in the alchemy options, namely shaved ice and popsicle.

“Is it really possible…” Yakumo was not surprised by the result, and even felt that he had expected it.

“Let me see… red beans, herbs, magic powder, will this really not kill people?” Upon seeing that magic powder could be added to the ingredients, Yakumo subconsciously complained.

Magic powder is also dropped by monsters. Yakumo never thought that it could be used in alchemy to make shaved ice. He picked a purple magic powder, combined it with red beans and the bowl of shaved ice from Haita, and added some herbs, and Yakumo successfully made red bean shaved ice.

The bowl is still the same, but the difference is that the shaved ice is topped with purple grape-flavored syrup and garnished with some red beans. This is a normal-looking shaved ice.

Another route is the popsicle route, which Yakumo has not tried yet.

"Aize, give it a try?" If Aize is poisoned, Haita can help detoxify him. Although it would be a bit unfair to Aize to do so, for safety reasons, let Aize try it first.

"Hmm..." With Haita's eager expression, Aize took the shaved ice and took a bite: "Hmm?! It tastes like real shaved ice, and it also has this grape flavor. It's not very sweet, but also has a little sourness. It tastes very good!"

"It's rare to hear Aize talk so much. It looks like it's really delicious." Xin Meier said with a smile: "Is this also your magical ability?"

"It should be classified as alchemy, right?" Yakumo was a little hesitant: "This thing is more of a medicine than a food. Although it is indeed shaved ice in essence."

"This can restore my magic power, right?" Aize put down the bowl. He only ate two spoonfuls and stopped. "I can feel the change in my magic power. But since magic power is not very useful to me, it is probably wasted."

"Really?" Fulilian took the bowl of shaved ice curiously and ate a spoonful with her own spoon: "Hmm... it seems to be true. If you finish a whole serving of shaved ice, the amount of recovery should be considerable, right?"

"Moreover, even if the magic power is saturated, it does not affect eating it as ordinary shaved ice. It may even bring positive feedback of magic power. Generally speaking, it is a very practical thing." Fulilian summarized with a smile.

"It's good that there are no side effects." Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone, try it. But it's hard to say how much this thing costs compared to regular shaved ice. There are some herbs added to it."

"I see. No wonder it has a restorative effect." Fulilian scooped another big spoonful and put it into her mouth. "But it tastes really good. Is this really syrup?"

"I'm not sure, but the ingredients definitely don't contain any poison." Yakumo took a bite himself. He made the shaved ice himself, so he couldn't possibly not get to eat a single bite, right?

[Eri: So... you guys went through all this trouble to explore the maze just to eat some shaved ice?]
