It was entirely out of her good intentions on a whim...

"If possible, try not to ask strangers for help."

"Because the other party may not be willing to help you, and..."

When Lily Luca took the bewildered boy away, she gave him his first lesson: "You might implicate the real 'good people'."

"After that, facing the reversal of goodwill, the former kindness will only cause you greater harm."

These words and experiences all stem from Lily Luca's past.

She once naively thought of escaping the Soma Familia and the persecution by Chanis, Ganu, and others.

As a result, the elderly couple who kindly adopted her from the florist shop were attacked by the adventurers.

The small flower shop was smashed to pieces.

The old man was bleeding from a head wound.

That day, when she returned home smiling, unaware of the situation, her home (place to stay) was gone.

The elderly couple gave her a look of disgust.

It's as if they're saying silently: If we hadn't adopted you, we wouldn't be suffering like this.

After that, Lily Luca resigned herself to her fate.

Even after she awakened the transformation magic of 'Cookware Woman', it was merely a shift from resignation to 'falling'.

Last night, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she ended up telling that listless boy all these things, telling him about her past experiences that she had never wanted to talk about, and... the darkness of Orario.

She probably hoped the boy wouldn't become like her.

But what is the use?

The boy has been targeted by a villain he cannot resist.

He was the new plaything chosen by a demon named 'Zanis'.

today……

"Those without 'divine grace' cannot register as adventurers."

"So we can only act as 'supporters' for now, helping those 'adventurers' carry their luggage and collect magic stones, and see if they will be 'merciful' enough to give us more reward money, so we can slowly accumulate our own wealth."

"besides……"

The Tower of Babel has not yet been fully restored.

In front of the 'Central Square', Lily Luca, carrying an oversized backpack, continued to 'teach' the rabbit boy.

The latter, now just an ordinary person, has very limited carrying capacity, and the bag on his back is much smaller than the one on Lily's back.

This was a temporary loan from Lily (she didn't intend to get it back); it was an old model she used when she was a child.

Lily looked helplessly at the white-haired boy beside her. She knew that no one would want such a poor supporter as poverty.

One hundred thousand... is a considerable sum even for me, let alone for this young man in front of me.

and……

"100,000 is just the beginning."

Lily offered a genuinely well-intentioned reminder: "If a suitable opportunity arises, such as being noticed by a powerful clan, be sure to seize it and escape. Never allow Lord Soma's 'divine grace' to be inscribed on your person."

"Otherwise, it will be too late."

Chapter 235 Ling Shu finally remembers he's a regimental commander

Speaking of which, today is the first time Ling Shu has experienced the thrill of 'four draws a day'.

And what he gained was:

Four-star magic weapon [Zhaoxin] x1

In addition, three blue items.

"..."

Incidentally, since the 'Scorpio incident' ended, until he leveled up to Lv.3 last night, Ling Shu's 'card draw record' has shown that he has obtained [Zhao Xin] four times.

Unexpectedly, he upgraded it to Elite 5 today, making it the first fully refined four-star Genshin Impact weapon in his possession.

"This is really quite 'heartbreaking'."

Ling Shu, who had just arrived at the 'Central Plaza', muttered this to himself.

It's worth noting that in the Genshin Impact lore, this thing is considered the 'most terrible four-star catalyst'.

Because it cannot be paired with any Genshin Impact character who uses magical artifacts as weapons, its versatility is almost zero.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been given the homophonic nickname "heartbreaking" by players.

Well, rants aside.

In fact, when it comes to the magical artifact [Zhaoxin], it also possesses a special ability that Ling Shu finds exceptionally useful.

That is: a lie detector.

Legend has it that the precious jade of this magical artifact has the power to "revive a clear mind when encountering malicious intent, and help me discern the true nature of people's hearts." (PS: From the weapon's background story.)

To put it bluntly, if this thing were in the hands of a naive person, it would be an absolutely reliable lifesaver.

Even a seasoned veteran like Ling Shu could easily use it to showcase the god-like quality of being unable to lie to him.

at the moment……

"If I hadn't met Lily Luca, this thing would have been a perfect match for the rabbit boy."

As Ling Shu watched the two thin figures carrying large bundles from afar, such a thought flashed through his mind.

He remembered clearly that when he first encountered the main story of the DanMachi series before his transmigration, he was almost discouraged from continuing the series because of the protagonist's forgiveness of Lily Luca.

But what happened later proved that Lilyluka, who was in love with Bell, really did a lot for him.

That little girl who had once fallen into depravity could be considered the 'strategist' within the Hestia Familia.

It was precisely because of her existence that the innocent and kind-hearted rabbit boy suffered far less.

It must be said that the boy named 'Bell Crane' truly possessed the most needed quality for an adventurer—luck.

Because those he forgave later gave him even more in return.

Those unforgivable individuals were killed by others for various reasons.

Yes, as an adventurer who lives on the edge of death, the rabbit boy has never killed anyone.

In summary……

"The rabbit boy definitely needs a lie detector by his side."

"And Lily Luca is a similar kind of indispensable person."

This was the first time Ling Shu had patiently read through the original DanMachi series and made such a remark specifically about 'Bell' and 'Lily Luca'.

Now...

"Based on the results of my previous secret investigation, Bell has not yet been marked with 'God's Grace'."

That's a good thing.

because……

"An adventurer's 'conversion' can only be carried out a full year after joining the current clan... Heh~ I won't have to 'kill a god a second time' then."

To be honest, if we're talking about which characters Ling Shu had feelings for before their first encounter within the current world... the number is definitely not small.

Adi, Alisha, Amid, Alfia, Ryu, Seele, Tiona, Riveria, Welf, Mother Mia, Mother Maria, Goddess Prometheus... and so on.

But if I had to say who I hate the most...

Honestly, compared to those truly wicked people who could be easily killed, Somo God really maximized his satirical power.

Because Ling Shu utterly despises 'giant babies'.

Not to mention, this self-destructive god of wine is also a super giant baby who is hundreds of millions of years old.

His bizarre line of thinking was truly bizarre:

Because the beings in the lower realm could not resist the temptation of the divine wine, they felt that they were all beyond redemption, and let some scum do whatever they wanted without any regard for them.

Is it because 'people die when they are killed' that beings in the lower realms are not worthy of living?

He doesn't understand what inheritance, perseverance, progress, or individual strengths mean.

This person... truly deserves the title of 'god'.

How arrogant! How self-centered!

To put it bluntly, if you're so disappointed, why don't you just go back to the Heavenly Realm sooner?

Why stay in the lower realm and put on a critical attitude of being disappointed in all living beings? Who are you trying to impress?

Those who do not actively seek change do not deserve any benefits from change.

Such a simple truth, yet a god somehow managed to twist it into a bitter and resentful coward.

Soma may not be an evil god.

But this is definitely a 'pig teammate' who can easily ruin your team's mentality.

At least for now, that's true.

So……

"Bell will most likely play a crucial role in the upcoming cataclysmic event."

"If he went to the Blue Ribbon Goddess's kin... no, as long as it's a slightly normal place, it doesn't matter."

"Gold will always shine."

At this moment, whether it was Ling Shu's 'first impression' from before his transmigration or not, he was very optimistic about the future of this pure and innocent boy.

Because, compared to himself who adheres to the idea that "I protect the world because I live in it," this fledgling young man is the one who truly possesses the qualities of a "hero."

Yes, he was a respectable yet pathetic 'fool'.
