"Luna, have you forgotten my strength?"
Shi Chen smiled and said, "The 'good' task I'm talking about isn't a simple, easy, and lucrative one, but rather a rather difficult one."
"Oh right, I almost forgot about the time. You're very capable; you do have quite a few tasks."
Most adventurers are not much stronger than ordinary people, not to mention that this is still a beginner village, full of novice adventurers.
Adventurers are just a profession, like workers, doing it to make a living.
Tomorrow, we'll fight the monsters that threaten the safety of the people day and night. After making money, we'll come here to drink, living a life where we don't know if there will be a tomorrow.
But even such unplanned adventurers would spend their winters leisurely in inns, eating and waiting to die.
This is because weak monsters almost always hibernate in winter, while the monsters that are still active are very difficult to deal with.
Axel, the starting village, is a place where adventurers are not much stronger than ordinary people. Taking on monster-hunting jobs in winter is practically suicide.
It's better to just drift along and wait to die than to actually die.
Upon arriving at the quest log, Shi Chen glanced at it and discovered that there were quite a few good quests that Frillie could practice on.
For example, the reward for defeating a pack of white wolves attacking a ranch can be as high as one million Eris.
There are also unexpected bears that have awakened from hibernation and roam the fields. Hunting one can cost two million Eris, while driving one away costs five hundred thousand Eris.
The number of wolves is unknown, but it doesn't matter how many there are, there's nothing to be afraid of.
As for One-Hit Bear, Darkness can assist Frillie, as cultivating teamwork is very important.
However, there is a Bear with one hit, but it's unclear whether there is a Bear with multiple hits.
"Shichen, what mission do you plan to take?" Luna asked.
"Accept both of these," Shi Chen said, pointing to the missions to hunt down the white wolf pack and the one-strike bear.
"I understand, I'll get it done for you right away... but you must be careful."
"Don't worry, we'll be fine."
"Ah."
After Luna finished completing the task, Shichen took the task sheet and came to the bar.
Frillie and the others just sat together chatting and didn't order anything to eat.
This time, Frillian didn't talk nonsense, and the topic of conversation was still about Toki and Megumin's encounter.
"How could you tell Frilian this?" Shi Chen sat down next to Youyou, placing one hand on her thigh.
Youyou sat up straight.
“Frilian asked that,” Megumin replied.
"Really?" Shi Chen looked at Frilian next to Youyou in surprise.
"Is there a problem? You can't just sit here and do nothing, can you?" Frilian said expressionlessly.
"Alright... Here, this is the mission I accepted. What do you guys think?"
"Let me see... Is it okay to hunt down the white wolf pack?" Huihui asked nervously.
"And this One-Hit Bear..." Youyou was also a little scared.
"Don't worry, I'm here, and Darkness can handle it."
“One-Punch Bear…hehe~hehe~” Darkness was already imagining the scene of being attacked by One-Punch Bear.
"Hmm?" Shi Chen glanced at her.
"Cough cough, Shichen, don't worry, I won't let him hurt me on purpose."
"Ideally... in these past two months, have you actively sought out monsters to train your body's resilience?"
“No... I’m so bored.” Darkness shook his head.
“You can’t exercise at home every day just because you’re bored,” Huihui complained.
"What can I do...?"
"Alright, alright, it's just exercise, it's not a bad thing," Shi Chen interjected.
"Kaknis is a girl."
"You know Darkness's personality. This is like asking you not to cast a burst spell every day. Can you accept that?"
"That definitely won't work!"
"That's settled then. Alright, let's set off to hunt down the white wolf pack."
"Alright, watch me finish this with one burst spell."
"No, you don't need to lift a finger today. It's for Frilian to practice on."
"Eh? Why is that?"
"You want me to unleash an explosion spell? What about the ranch?"
"You are biased!"
"I'll show you how to cast Explosion Magic this afternoon if you're free, okay?"
"That's pretty much it."
"Frilian, are you scared?" Shichen asked Frilian, who had remained silent.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm just a little cold. Should we just go back?" Frillie said, pouting.
"Think beautifully!"
Chapter 343 Frillian's First Mission
Upon arriving at the ranch, one immediately sees a large pack of white wolves, quite large, even larger than an adult male.
A single wolf is enough to send chills down your spine, let alone a pack of wolves.
Bloodthirsty green eyes, bare fangs, and the thick blood of livestock smeared around its mouth... it looks terrifying.
This is true for Huihui and Youyou.
When Shichen saw the wolf pack, he thought about whether he could raise one himself, since it was white-furred. However, after looking at the group, he didn't find any cute ones and gave up.
Darkness was already getting excited, wishing he could rush up and be devoured by the pack of wolves.
Frillie hugged herself, trembling. She was dressed rather thinly, as she had just arrived and hadn't had time to buy winter clothes.
Perfect, these white wolves can be made into fur coats.
"Frilian, are you ready? The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can go back to bed," Shichen said with a smile.
"Ready!" Frillie's expression immediately turned serious.
"Hehe~ Then Huihui, you guys step back, Youyou can join forces with Frilian."
"What about me? What about me?" Darkness asked expectantly.
"You step back too." Shi Chen didn't even glance at her.
"Why, why?" Darkness instantly deflated.
"This task will be done by Youyou and Freya together. The next task will be done by you and Freya together."
"You promised, you have to let me do the next mission."
"Don't worry, I'll just lie and make it up to you when I get back, okay?"
“Compensation…” Darkness suddenly felt a blockage in her throat, and that feeling of not being able to swallow returned.
"...Are you ready?" Shichen ignored her and looked at Frilian.
"Hurry up." Frillie was on high alert.
“...Come here.” Shi Chen used a provocation skill on the white wolf pack.
"Ow—!"
In an instant, the white wolf pack turned their green eyes toward Shichen, bared their fangs, and charged forward.
At a glance, there were at least thirty of them, a vast expanse of white.
Shichen set up a barrier, trapping the wolf pack.
"Get out."
"Lightning!"
"Fireball!"
Magic converged, and lightning and fireballs rained down from the sky, slamming into the wolf pack.
"Roar--!"
The wolves couldn't withstand such damage; their bodies were charred black, and they died instantly. Those severely injured in the attack began to howl and groan in agony.
The mournful cries had little effect on Yoyo and Frillie.
Neither of them were soft-hearted girls when facing the monster. Youyou was releasing magic while being afraid, and she was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to do enough damage.
This girl still lacks awareness of her own abilities.
Frillie cast the spell with a blank expression; all she wanted was to finish the mission quickly and go back to bed.
In the dead of winter, it's the perfect time to read comics and novels in bed, and drink cola.
She had Shichen bring plenty of Coke, so there was no need to worry about not being able to finish it.
"You two be careful not to damage the wolf's fur," Shi Chen reminded them.
"Shichen, what are you going to do with that wolf pelt?" Huihui asked curiously from the side.
Shi Chen smiled and put his arm around her shoulder: "Isn't it winter? I'll make you some wolfskin coats."
"You're going to make it for us?" Huihui blinked.
"Want it?"
"Of course I would! It would be best if you could also give me a new skin."
