Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 708 Travel to the New World

Although the monsters on the road did not pose much of a threat to Lauren, having a teammate of the opposite sex still made him feel a little awkward, and Rachel would often criticize him for being "unfavorable to any woman." He made vicious comments about his behavior.

"I don't have that many thoughts about her, Miss. Didn't you tell me to find a teammate before?"

Although the woman who calls herself Fia never takes off her breathing mask, her performance is impeccable otherwise.She does have a deeper understanding of current monsters than ordinary people, and her own strength cannot be underestimated.

Lauren estimated that she might have a strength of level 40 or higher. Although she usually did not actively collect crystals to continue to improve her level, occasionally she would ask for a small part of the loot from Lauren, which seemed to be used for On top of research.

And her way of fighting is also quite simple - just use the magic book that never leaves her hand to summon various flames, and she can destroy most enemies who have no resistance to it.

"Anyway, I just think she is weird, well... forget it. 』

Rachel was actually just having a tantrum, and of course Lauren knew what she was thinking.The memories of the two of them getting along before were still there, so Lauren also knew how to deal with her emotions.

It would be nice if she could get back to normal as soon as possible.

"Mr. L, the door to the world is ahead."

Feia, who was walking in front of Lauren, pointed forward. There was indeed a huge structure like a "door" on the barrier-like boundary of the world.Although it feels like there should be a lot of people coming in and out there, it's actually quite quiet.

"If I remember correctly, you should be able to reach World 9 from here."

"Sorry, I don't know much about it."

"I've probably checked some information, and it's probably going to be more confusing there."

Worlds numbered within 10 are all human settlements, but because the residents come from different places, there are also some differences in culture.And the world they are about to enter is unique because of this difference.

The Golden Capital does not prohibit battles between humans, but in this world, battles between humans are quite common.This is not just because of cultural differences, but because there are always some people who are not willing to take risks to fight monsters, but are always thinking of taking the resources they need from other people.

Perhaps this is also one of the observations in the Golden City, but Laurent is not too interested in it.

"Sorry, please give me some crystals. I need to restore my magic power."

In fact, humans can also replenish the energy needed for survival by directly ingesting Origin Crystals, but this is extremely inefficient and much worse than eating directly.However, because of its convenience, some people who venture out for a long time and have no time to replenish food will temporarily use this method to extend their activities.

"These things must be exchanged for other things in a place with relevant technology. It's actually quite inconvenient."

Although the Golden City recently taught everyone how to compress a large number of crystals into a very small volume, it is still a bit inconvenient to use these primordial crystals as currency.As materials, they must be in specific places to be made into various equipment or supplies. When the holder accidentally dies, all these unabsorbed crystals will be scattered, and then anyone can pick them up.

Although this kind of rule will indeed deepen human greed and trigger a series of conflicts, the Golden Capital seems to be deliberately allowing such things to happen.The Celestials outside have begun to plan an invasion, and it is indeed worth observing whether the humans here will leave the foreign enemies behind because of these immediate benefits.

"If they are not used, they are just a burden, so they must be used decisively when it is time to use them."

Fia occasionally expressed her opinions to Lauren in a preaching tone. Although Lauren didn't like listening to other people's lectures, he didn't intend to point out this problem.After all, they are just temporary teammates, and they may disband immediately after arriving at their destination.

"It's a pity that I can only get half of the profit from eating these things. It's such a waste."

Half of the crystals that Lauren absorbs will be preyed upon by the final power in his body and converted into energy for their activities.Therefore, his upgrade speed is much slower than others. If the Golden City had not "friendly" locked his initial level at level 20, he might not even be able to reach the level of an ordinary person now.

Fortunately, the level of the Golden City does not represent the actual combat power, because the strength improvement of each level is actually very small. Even if you are dozens of levels higher than others, you are likely to be defeated by low-level monsters in unexpected ways.Therefore, compared to purely improving the level, mastering more combat skills is more important.

"Your ability is indeed very interesting. If you have time, please let me study it in depth."

"Sorry, that's not okay."

"……it's a pity."

Although Fia seemed not to shy away from contact with Lauren, Lauren did not dare to agree to such a request.Not only because Rachel might keep venting her resentment in his ears, but also because letting others come into close contact with the power of the end actually carries considerable risks.

"Humph, I think that as long as you agree, she will agree to any conditions you ask her. 』

"Isn't that bad."

Moreover, Fia is not a fanatical academic. Lauren has quietly observed these days, and her research seems to be more arbitrary, and does not have any special theory or system.

Therefore, her self-proclaimed status as a scholar might be just a disguise.

"Forget it, I need to rest for a while. You'd better not do anything weird." 』

Rachel is not really an artificial intelligence that does not get tired. She also needs to ingest Origin Crystals and take appropriate rest to maintain the stability of her consciousness.Laurent didn't know exactly what the Golden Capital did to her, because his own memory of the Golden Capital seemed to have been deliberately separated from some key parts.

Now, apart from knowing that he had visited here many times in the past, he could hardly recall anything else about this place.The reason why the Golden City deliberately targeted him is also an unsolved mystery, so his current action goal actually includes exploring the truth here.

But now, he has to complete an important task first.

"Let's go over there first... and check out the situation."

Even if he may encounter a lot of trouble in the opposite world, Lauren must keep moving forward.
