Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

“…I’m going to pick some mushrooms!” Draig was a man of action; upon hearing the two say this, he immediately got up…

“Alright, a balanced diet is important!” Fang Rui agreed, then added, “I’ll go with you!”

Would someone who hasn't left their home for at least several hundred years know whether mushrooms from another world are poisonous?

Fang Rui's answer is...

You seem to be making me laugh!

Worried that Drag might bring back a bunch of poisonous mushrooms, Fang Rui decided to go with him.

Although the people present were all in good health and eating some poisonous mushrooms wouldn't be a problem, some poisonous mushrooms not only look strange, but also taste very strange.

It can be a poisonous mushroom, but it must taste delicious!

“If you leave, who will grill the fish?” Hong said.

"...Am I just a fish griller?" Fang Rui was speechless. Hearing Hong say that, it seemed like he was a fish griller.

“No, you are the zookeeper!” Hong said without the slightest shame.

Fang Rui: "…………" He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

As the strongest being in the world, please have some shame!

"I'll leave a clone here to grill fish." With a soft sigh, Fang Rui created a clone to take over his work, while he himself went to the forest to pick mushrooms.

The two headed towards the location of the earlier explosion. Fang Rui wanted to confirm his guess, while Drag wanted to see what the creature that caused the explosion was.

The one capable of unleashing such a powerful attack was already qualified to fight him now, so he wanted to meet him and, incidentally, arrange a duel...

Of course, picking mushrooms was their main objective. There were plenty of mushrooms in the forest, and they could pick mushrooms no matter which direction they went.

Chapter 466 I Picked Up a Magician

Explosion magic is known as the ultimate destructive magic in the current world. Its essence is the pure diffusion and explosion of magical power, and it is the strongest offensive magic capable of harming all existence.

This spell is very difficult to learn and requires a high level of magical power. The minimum requirement is already unacceptable to most magicians. On the other hand, the spell has a wide range of effects and can easily drag teammates into the attack range. After using the Explosion spell, most users will lose all their magical power.

Therefore, almost no one is willing to learn this magic, and even those who do learn it use it as a trump card.

As he listened to Fang Rui's explanation, Drag's interest quickly waned. According to Fang Rui, there were very few people who could use this magic in battle.

The people you might encounter later are unlikely to use Explosion Magic as a basic attack.

To be honest, there aren't many people who can use Explosion Magic as a basic attack.

Aqua is one of them. As the goddess of water, her magical reserves are immeasurable, so using explosion magic as a basic attack is not a problem for her.

The other is Wiz, a lich who lives in Axel. As a lich, her magical reserves far exceed those of ordinary people, and she can also use explosive magic as a basic attack. Of course, her endurance is not as exaggerated as Aqua's.

As for whether anyone else could do this, Fang Rui said he did not have any relevant information at the moment.

“Lich…” Draig seemed to be thinking, completely ignoring the water goddess that Fang Rui mentioned.

Ever since he met Aqua, he had already ruled her out. Although she was of high rank, her actual combat strength and intelligence were too low. Fighting her felt like bullying an idiot.

During their conversation, the two did not forget to pick mushrooms. They already had several kilograms of mushrooms in their storage rings, so they did not continue picking mushrooms unless they found some interesting ones.

Without wasting any more time, the two quickened their pace and soon arrived at the location of the explosion.

"...It's incredibly powerful!" Draig murmured, looking at the giant crater created by the explosive magic.

Fang Rui looked at him with surprise. You can cause even more damage with a casual attack, yet you're saying it's very powerful? Are you doing this on purpose?

Is the intention to use praise or similar words to lure out the person hiding in the shadows?

Ignoring what Drag was thinking, Fang Rui looked around and quickly found his target: a girl lying on the ground on a mound a hundred meters to his left.

'As expected.' Fang Rui thought to himself, and immediately started walking towards the girl's location.

Seeing Fang Rui's actions, Drag followed him. The two arrived at the top of the hill, looked down at the girl lying on the ground, and stared at her for a while.

"Could you... help me... take me back to... the Adventurers' Guild?!"

The black-haired girl spoke weakly, giving the impression that she hadn't eaten for days and was about to faint from hunger.

"I have a question. Did I say we were adventurers?" Fang Rui said in a slightly mischievous tone, and the expression on the black-haired girl's face changed upon hearing this.

She noticed that the two were dressed in very high-end clothing, something that ordinary people couldn't afford, especially Drag's armor, which was clearly of a very high quality. She subconsciously assumed that the two were high-level adventurers.

But now, hearing Fang Rui's reminder, she suddenly thought of another possibility: besides adventurers, the Demon King's army could also possess high-level armor.

Some legendary high-level monsters also possess various high-level equipment, and their appearances are very similar to humans.

'No way! Is my luck really that bad?!'

The girl was on the verge of tears. She used to cast her explosion magic near the town, but yesterday a guard found her and told her that her explosion magic was disturbing the peace and affecting the daily lives of the town's residents. He told her to either stop casting magic or cast it further away from the town!

Stop casting Explosion Magic? The girl immediately ruled that out. Explosion Magic was her faith; if she didn't cast it for a day, she would feel weak all over. Therefore, she chose the second option.

She unleashed an explosive spell far from town; this was the first time she'd done so today…

However, their mission got off to a bad start when they encountered two strangers who appeared to be members of the Demon King's army!

'Oh no! Oh no! What should I do?'

They wanted to escape, but had no strength; they wanted to resist, but had no magic.

Even if she possessed magic, she had no power to resist; the only magic she knew was explosion magic.

Explosion magic, on the other hand, requires a very high level of magical power.

At this moment, the girl felt regret in her heart, regret that she shouldn't have come here, and even a slight regret that she hadn't learned other magic.

"Take her back." Although he didn't use mind-reading, the girl's face clearly showed regret. Considering the girl's particularly awkward personality, Fang Rui decided to scare her a little.

"Why?" Drag asked, somewhat puzzled. He wasn't as perceptive as Fang Rui, nor did he carefully observe the girl's expression. He was simply surprised that such a young girl possessed such powerful explosive magic. He thought that if she trained for a while longer, she could become even stronger and perhaps fight him for a while...

'Are you going to train her?'

Drag seemed thoughtful. A girl who possessed rare magic was indeed worth nurturing, and thinking this, he didn't object. However, Fang Rui's answer surprised him greatly...

"No, take her back to feed the monsters."

Fang Rui's lips curled up slightly, a somewhat sinister smile appearing on his face. To the girl, it was like a devil's smile, making her tremble.

'Dad, Mom, I want…'

Draig looked completely bewildered. Although he was wearing a helmet, Fang Rui could still tell from the way he tilted his head that he was extremely confused, one could say his confusion was overflowing.

'Just teasing her~' Fang Rui said silently.

Draig understood his lip movements and what he wanted to say, and was immediately speechless.

No, what were you thinking, an adult, bullying a child?

"Feed Hydra! It just woke up and is very hungry..."

Draig's performance was perfect: his cold tone, deep voice, and perfect villainous aura.

Fang Rui's smile deepened. He had expected Drag to refuse to cooperate, but he hadn't anticipated...

All that's missing is "Count me in!"

Although he can see the outside world through the host's perspective, the time he spends outside is far too short compared to the time spent in the sealed space, so it's normal for Draig's personality to change.

Besides, it was just a joke, nothing will happen.

With that, Drag picked up the girl and returned to the picnic spot with Fang Rui.

Hearing the two's conversation, the girl grew increasingly frightened, her mind racing with wild thoughts, a jumble of images flashing through her mind.

The two did not rest during their journey.

When it comes to acting, of course you have to go all the way!

They relayed false information about the Demon King's army, occasionally interjecting with a few frightening remarks, keeping the girl constantly on edge.

Of course, the two were careful not to go too far, and did not try to scare the other person. They only wanted the other person to realize their mistake, not to lose their ability to fight back in the wild, and to learn more skills so that they could protect themselves.

Back at the picnic spot, Fang Rui raised his hand and called out, "Hey! I'm back~"

"Who is she?" Hong looked at the black-haired girl. The girl's clothes and appearance had a messy feel, but her style was very distinctive.

The black-haired girl looked at the oblivious Hydra, then at Red and Orpheus, and realized something...

Something seems amiss!

"I found her on the road. She was a silly little girl who lay on the ground without any power to resist after casting a spell..."

Upon hearing this, the black-haired girl immediately understood everything; the so-called Demon King's Army was all a hoax.

"…………" I really want to punch someone!

The black-haired girl thought this, but none of the people present were easy to mess with.

After all, the blood-soaked monster beside him represented a quest that had been hanging on the quest log for a long time without being completed—the slaying of the Hydra.

'They actually got defeated! They must be a top-tier adventurer team!'

'But why did they scare me?'

The black-haired girl was filled with doubt. She was so frightened that she almost wrote her will!

'and……'

'I'm not stupid!!!'

'I'm a genius, I can even learn explosion magic...'

As he was thinking this, Hong said, "It's really stupid to exhaust yourself in a mountainous area full of monsters. It's just asking for death."

"Was it her who cast the magic earlier? Was it to deal with the enemy?"

Thinking of certain situations, such as exhausting one's own energy in order to defeat a powerful enemy, Hong asked a question.

"No, she's casting a spell on an empty area..."

Everyone: "…………"

"Stupid!" x2
