Monster Girl Contract Manual

Chapter 84: Not every instance of favorability can be increased.

Something's not right, something's very wrong!

This thing is trying to freeze itself!

After realizing he couldn't feel his own palm, House immediately looked at the red-haired shopkeeper.

Fortunately, the red-haired shop owner also noticed that something was wrong with House.

Faced with House's pleading gaze, she calmly raised her arm and grasped the other end of the "ice staff".

The next moment, House felt the chill in his arm flow back out of his body, and he regained sensation. His magic began to slowly seep into his staff...

House immediately stopped perceiving anything.

Without hesitation, he released his ice staff and took a step back, still shaken.

On his shoulder, Harpy was about to reprimand him, but House cut him off before he could speak.

We can't shout; the other side is too strong, and we can't afford to start a conflict.

"Sorry, I startled you."

At that moment, the red-haired shopkeeper, holding his ice staff, looked at House with an apologetic expression.

This surprised House slightly.

The other party doesn't seem to be the kind of unreasonable strongman.

After apologizing, the red-haired shop owner immediately offered that House could pick any wand from the counter as compensation.

3 gold coins → 0 gold coins.

"5

'

Is this a case of turning misfortune into blessing?

House always felt like he was being taken advantage of.

Three mere gold coins are nothing compared to his life.

but...

That's just how reality is.

For low-level adventurers, let alone 3 gold coins, even 3 silver coins, or even just 50 copper coins, are the price of a goblin.

That would make them risk their lives to take risks.

At this moment, House clearly realized that in front of the red-haired shopkeeper, he was nothing more than an ordinary, low-level adventurer.

Therefore, he did not refuse the red-haired shopkeeper's apology.

They have no right to refuse.

In the end, House chose the lightest bamboo cane with good sturdiness, and then left the prop shop quickly without lingering any longer.

In the store.

The red-haired shopkeeper took out the "ice staff" he had taken out earlier and stared thoughtfully at the spot where House had gripped it.

"The magic power is a good match, but the strength is too weak."

outside the store.

House turned around and glanced at "Golden Tool Shop".

He let out a long sigh of relief.

Indeed, dealing with powerful people is dangerous!

Not every level of favorability can be increased by "+".

At this moment, House clearly realized that the instructions given in the manual were limited to "meeting the monster girl's needs".

However, meeting the other party's needs does not guarantee absolute safety.

For example, like now.

Forcibly seducing high-level monster girls could very well lead to unexpected disasters.

Hey~

He is still too weak.

We need strength!

Carrying the bamboo staff, originally priced at 3 gold coins but now free, House quickly arrived outside the town.

After a week of reconstruction, the plains outside the town were restored to their former flatness and cleanliness.

The bloodstains and fragments of flesh left from the previous battle had already been devoured by the slimes driven over by some of the adventurers.

These little guys who cleaned up the battlefield were eventually disposed of on the spot by the group of novice adventurers, turning into fertilizer to nourish the grass.

After a heavy rain, there was no trace left.

Stopping thinking about what just happened and adjusting his mindset, House began to try casting spells with his staff.

The magic seeped into the staff, and the bamboo staff in my hand instantly lost its weight.

It wasn't that the staff had actually lost its weight; it was just that House had lost the ability to perceive the staff's weight.

This bamboo staff, about half the height of House, is like an extension of his body.

Holding it, House felt as if he had gained an extra arm.

Raising his staff and aiming at the open space, House launched a fire missile.

"Bang!"

The fire missile, as powerful as ever, rapidly condensed from the top of the staff and shot out, striking the target at incredible speed.

The moment the spell was cast, House clearly sensed the powerful buffs provided by the staff.

The casting speed, spell flight speed, and flight distance of the fire missiles have all increased by one-third compared to when casting spells with bare hands!

At that moment, House recalled what the old man guarding the guild's storeroom had said earlier.

Sure enough, a mage can't live without his staff!

House continued practicing with the Flame Missile.

After a while.

["Flame Missile" Proficiency +1]

【技能：火焰飞弹Iv2（20/20）→火焰飞弹Iv3（0/50）】

After nearly a month of practice, House finally succeeded in upgrading the Flame Missile to Iv3!

The magical power boost from skill upgrades was clearly felt throughout my body, giving me a sense of abundant strength.

At this moment, House's strength underwent another transformation.

A few days later.

The western part of the town.

House and the others sat in the carriage and headed towards the mission location.

{Task ID: 24}

.

{Type: Hunting}

{Requirement: 11 Swamp Poison Frog Venom Sacs}

{Reward: 11 Silver Coins}

{Mission Summary: The Swamp Poison Frog is located in the shallow swamp west of Wind Chime Town... The poison sac must be kept intact.}

In the western part of Wind Chime Town, there is a large area of ​​shallow marshland.

It is inhabited by a monster called the Swamp Poison Frog.

These monsters are similar in size to goblins, but are far stronger.

They are not only exceptionally agile in water and swamps, adept at ambushes and sneak attacks, but also possess a venom sac within their bodies that stores paralyzing toxins.

When encountering enemies, the swamp poison frog can use its venom sac to spray paralyzing venom to paralyze its enemies.

The venom sacs inside their bodies are the core material for making paralyzing poisons.

The previous goblin invasion of the town had significantly reduced the amount of paralyzing poison in the inventories of all the alchemy workshops and guilds.

Therefore, many alchemy workshops have issued commissions to hunt swamp poison frogs.

After reviewing the mission details, House stared again at the reward of "only" 11 silver coins and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

A single poison sac is worth 1 silver coin, which is more than the bounty for other low-level monsters.

But House, who had just earned several hundred silver coins in one go not long ago, couldn't help but feel a little unenthusiastic when he saw this small reward now, given the huge difference.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Getting rich quick is lucky, but making small profits is the norm.

Arrive at the village near the mission location.

I spent 2 copper coins to ask the villagers about the general location where the poisonous frogs usually appear.

After a brief overview and learning that other adventurers were also hunting poisonous frogs, House and the others headed towards their destination.

However, when House and his companions arrived at their destination, they were surprised to find that other adventurers had already taken the place.

Not far away, six adventurers were fishing at the edge of the swamp.

This is one of the steps in hunting poisonous frogs.

First, the poison frog is attracted from the bottom of the water to the shore, and then it is pulled ashore by fishing.

Swamp poison frogs, once removed from the water, will have significantly reduced combat power and will be easier to deal with.

After encountering other adventurer teams, House and his companions changed their location to find a more suitable hunting spot in order to avoid conflict.

One of the rules for adventurers.

Remember, do not try to disturb other adventurers who are on adventure quests.

Otherwise, you may incur the other party's wrath.
