How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

Although she comes with a top-of-the-line decomposition machine, Miss Fox has thrown things in before. However, since she transmigrated, the only time she has ever produced a crystal was not long ago at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild. Ainz Ooal Gown had sprinkled something on that painting, and only when the painting was decomposed did a small crystal fall out.

Previously, when you lost weapons, armor, or protective gear, none of these items had small crystals.

It only yields some low-quality iron blocks and raw materials like leather, which are of no use to Miss Fox. Even if you could buy the best equipment on the market, throwing it in would only get you some slightly better raw materials.

In this case, it would be better to try using herbs instead of synthetic ones, as we are doing now.

"Fox, fox, this herb can increase your strength a little after you eat it, but it will make your stomach hurt afterwards."

"Fox, fox, this herb is very bitter and astringent, but it makes you feel very energetic after eating it. Chewing it a few times in the summer is also quite refreshing. You should be able to use all of these."

"Aside from those herbs that can restore some strength, these are all the herbs I have in my territory."

The big hamster scratched its head and handed the herbs it had brought back to Miss Fox.

After a friendly exchange, Miss Fox and the big hamster have successfully become friends, and now the big hamster has officially become Miss Fox's bed...mate!

Let's race together on the road to pharmaceutical manufacturing!

"Very good, thank you, 'Forest Wise King' Hamster." Although I don't know if it will work, I should at least give it a try.

Based on the functions described by the hamster, these two herbs are suitable for making lower-grade strength potions and lower-grade intelligence potions.

And indeed, after several failed attempts at combining the ingredients with water, Miss Fox finally succeeded in creating a lower-grade Strength Elixir and a lower-grade Intelligence Elixir, both marked with the secondary profession.

It's just that the extra note is a bit strange.

Lower-grade Strength Elixir: Slightly increases the user's strength for 30 minutes, depending on their constitution and strength (in the game, it's +50 strength). Since it's not a properly made item, it may have some strange additional effects.

Lower-grade Intelligence Elixir: Slightly boosts the user's spirit for 30 minutes, depending on their constitution and strength (in the game, it grants +50 Intelligence). Due to its unofficial production, it may have some strange additional effects.

Yes, it says to put it in the inventory.

"This doesn't look very appealing to me..." Unlike the previous HP and MP potions, these two have side effects.

"Is this the potion you made, Fox? It's amazing! You can make potions without any tools. This is the first time I've ever seen one. Foxes must be very skilled pharmacists among humans." The hamster came closer, and the feeling of its fluffy face against hers was very comfortable. Miss Fox didn't mind at all.

After all, being fluffy, like celestial bodies, is one of Miss Fox's strange little quirks.

"May I try?" "These two won't work, but HP and MP potions are fine." Seeing the hamster reach out to take them, Miss Fox quickly put away the two bottles of potions and took out HP and MP potions instead.

Because the hamster fits Miss Fox's taste perfectly, Miss Fox doesn't want to use it for drug testing.

"Is there a problem with those two bottles of medicine?" The big hamster didn't care, took the wooden bowl handed over by Miss Fox, and drank it down.

The HP and MP potions seemed to suit the hamster's tastes very well. After drinking them, it shuddered and then relaxed comfortably. Judging from its limp expression, the hamster was thoroughly enjoying itself.

"That's not right. HP and MP are supposed to restore stamina and mana, respectively. Shouldn't drinking them restore your energy? Why are you acting like a salted fish that has lost its dreams?"

"Because after drinking it, the feeling of power surging up and filling my body made me feel very comfortable," said the hamster. This was the first time Miss Fox had heard such a statement.

"Alright, let's say it's due to species differences." After all, the raw materials used are herbs, not the breath of life.

Herbs naturally have different effects on different species in some cases, and the same principle probably applies to medicines produced by using herbs to replace the life force.

"Fox, where are those two bottles of potions?"

"Did you drink the HP and MP potions like they were beverages? Those two potions have side effects, but I don't even know what they are." After all, it's a big hamster, so Miss Fox couldn't bring herself to hurt it.

If she were less attractive, Miss Fox would probably have forced her to drink it; very realistic.

"But I've already found a test subject, so don't worry, big hamster!"

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Moshimoshi~

[A newbie uploaded a file to the group to make up the numbers: Lower-level Strength Elixir x1]

[A newbie uploaded a file to the group to make up the numbers: Lower-level Intelligence Elixir x1]

Newbie here: Anyone in the group? I just made two new medicines, so grab them while you can if you need them!

Newbie here to fill in the gaps: By the way, due to limited resources, this potion didn't use any neutralizing herbs, so there might be side effects~

Green Mountain Demon King: Side effects!

As expected, the group's owner, Qingshan, was online.

Green Mountain Demon King: Let's leave that aside for now. This name is so simple and straightforward, I'll just say it straight: how much of an improvement can it provide?

Newbie (just filling a spot): Oh, this shouldn't be of any use to the group admin, right?

For newbies just looking to fill a spot: Since both of these provide a small boost within 30 minutes, the stronger the user, the smaller the effect; conversely, the weaker the user, the more noticeable the boost.

Newbie just filling in the numbers: The maximum is roughly 50%.

The Great Demon King of Qingshan: 50%...

It has to be said that this number really appealed to Aoyama.

Since he is still weak and hasn't fully grown up yet, drinking this will definitely give him a 50% boost to his maximum attributes.

In that case, wouldn't escaping from prison be a piece of cake?

As for the side effects? That doesn't matter, anyway, 30 minutes is enough for him to find a place to recover!

It's a pity that the group owner's privileges include the ability to calculate cultivation techniques, but not the ability to optimize potions. Otherwise, there would be no need to worry about side effects, and one could even show off in front of their underlings.

Green Mountain Demon King: Then I'll take these two bottles of potions and study them. If there are any problems later, I'll let you know, okay?

Newbie (just filling a spot): OK, no problem, that's perfect, group admin!

Chapter Fifty-Two: The Necromancer

The two lower-level elixirs I uploaded were taken by the group admin, the newbie who paid for the service was offline, and Miss Fox wasn't in the mood to chat in the group anymore.

Taking advantage of the hamster's familiarity with its territory, the two of them spent the better part of the day packing up all the herbs they could find in the area.

Miss Fox didn't even spare two areas that weren't part of the hamster's territory. The hamster pulled the monsters, and the fox ambushed them, easily and simply taking down the rulers of those two territories.

"Seriously, one was an ogre, the cave stank horribly, and the other was a snake-man. I initially thought she was a beautiful snake woman, but it turned out to be a snake-man with the upper body of a filthy old man—it was hideous!" It's unbearable to recall...

"Is that so? I think it's alright." The big hamster next to it scratched its head, not thinking anything of it, after all, different aesthetic views.

"I think it's pretty ugly."

When the big hamster first heard her talk about the Eastern Giant and the Western Serpent, Miss Fox thought it would be some kind of big monster that felt like a boss in an RPG game.

As it turned out, one was a tall ogre, and the other was a snake-man, both of whom Miss Fox dealt with very easily.

The only thing that made Miss Fox feel like she was facing a boss was the ogre's stinking cave and its regenerative ability, which required her to chop off its head several times before it finally died.

And the snake-man's lewd-looking upper body.

These are all things that seriously contradict Miss Fox's fantasies.

"Forget it, let's not dwell on this issue." Since it's already resolved, and we've managed to burn those two guys to ashes thanks to our caution, there's no need to keep thinking about it.

If it weren't for her limited abilities, Miss Fox wouldn't be satisfied with just being burned to ashes.

"Speaking of which, we've been calling you 'Big Hamster, Big Hamster' all day long. How about we give you a name?"

"A name?" The giant hamster, being a "Forest Wise King," immediately realized what was going on. "Is it a name for communication? Is it alright if I'm taken out with you?"

"It's alright, I'm a Steel-class adventurer after all, registering won't be a problem." Thinking of that Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Ainz Ooal Gown hadn't even become a Steel-rank adventurer yet, and he hadn't even registered with the Adventurers' Guild, yet he was already allowed into the city.

This is just a big hamster, but the fox doesn't believe it can't be allowed into the city.

"Then I'll give you a name, hmm, how about I call myself Souji?"

"Did your grandma tell you that you wanted to be roast chicken?" Miss Fox replied subconsciously.

"But your naming style is really Japanese samurai-esque."

Moreover, this giant hamster kept referring to itself as "I am I," and when combined with the name "Sōji," it gave off a kind of island samurai vibe.

"How about I find you a knife so you can practice with it later?"

"I prefer my tail to a knife." With that, the hamster curled the end of its tail into a fist and punched the air like a boxer, creating a rustling sound and exuding a powerful aura.

Miss Fox could catch it with one hand; by pinching the hamster's tail, the hamster couldn't move an inch.

"Hey big hamster, the name Souji doesn't really suit you. How about Gagami?"

"Gagami?" The big hamster scratched its head. "That doesn't sound like a name. But is the name Souji really that unsuitable for me? I think it sounds pretty cool."

"Handsome..." After looking the hamster up and down, Miss Fox couldn't see anything about it that fit the word "handsome."

Even adding the name Souji won't work. "Then I'll just call you Kura!"

"Ah Cang?" The big hamster stared wide-eyed, looking pitiful, trying to meet the fox's gaze, but it couldn't find her.

"Let's go, A-Cang. It's getting late. I'll take you to the village first! And we can meet my employer while we're there."

"Ah, I think my name is still open to discussion."

"No need, Ah Cang sounds nice too." Miss Fox patted a tree trunk beside her, indicating that Ah Cang the hamster was there, and began to head back towards Carne Village.

Although Miss Fox has a terrible sense of direction, she made sure to carve conspicuous marks on all the trees she passed on her way here.

So getting lost is out of the question!

"How could this happen!" The big hamster was still a little aggrieved, and its voice trembled slightly.

However, after Miss Fox tossed him a bowl of beginner HP potion, his slightly aggrieved expression immediately disappeared.

After downing the drink with gusto, he happily followed Miss Fox around.

Hmm, this makes Miss Fox feel like she's bullying Aqua.

"Our Lingling is now dreaming of meeting you, the fox spirit, your employer. What are we going to do tomorrow ($8 days)?" The big-cage rat began to plan its itinerary with Miss Fox.

"We've already looted quite a bit of the territory of the Eastern Giants and the Western Serpents. By the way, recently a strange house seems to have appeared in the north. If we get close, zombies seem to pop out. There must be a necromancer hiding there. Should we go there tomorrow?"

In an instant, the image of a necromancer, who had summoned the undead calamity and stood atop a bone dragon, appeared in the mind of the fox > Miss's three seas.

But then I thought about it again, and it's all about Ainz Ooal Gown. No other necromancer could do that.

Or rather, even Ainz Ooal Gown, in Miss Fox's opinion, with its most powerful super-tier magic Skyfall, which couldn't even destroy a forest, couldn't achieve the level of the Undead Catastrophe.

"Well, even if it's not to that extent, the common trait of mage professions being fond of research is probably there. The necromancer's herbal reserves are indeed quite tempting."

"Then let's go there tomorrow!" The big hamster was eager to try!

"No problem~"

The giant of the East, the demon serpent of the West, the wise king of the southern forest—there used to be a demon in the north as well, but that demon disappeared not long ago, replaced by a strange house.

Before meeting Miss Fox, the Western Serpent had come to it, wanting it to help investigate. Although the hamster refused at the time, it was also very curious about that strange house.

Now that he's made a friend, Miss Fox, who can easily defeat the Eastern Giant and the Western Serpent, the Big Hamster is getting a little cocky.

"A necromancer, huh? I've heard of them, but I've never actually seen one."

The hamster was imagining what the necromancer it would meet tomorrow would look like, when it suddenly felt itself bump into someone. A reaction force turned it into a ball, bouncing backward a few times before finally coming to a stop.

"What's wrong with the fox? Why did it suddenly stop?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Miss Fox pointed in the direction of Carne Village with a headache. There, some houses were broken, and although it was already evening, they were completely silent. It was obvious that something was wrong.

Besides, Miss Fox's eyes are sharp enough to see a bald man dressed as a mage turning a villager into a zombie.

"Ah Cang, we just decided to go find a necromancer tomorrow, and now we've run into one."

Chapter 53 If you can't beat them, combine them

"Ah~ah~"

"Is it really necessary to do this? Wouldn't it be enough to just take them away?"

In a coquettish tone, the woman, cloaked but dressed rather provocatively underneath, complained to the necromancer in his red robes.

"Is it really necessary to create undead to serve as fighting force? Why can't I even enjoy it?"

"Clementine!" Ignoring the villagers' wails, the red-robed necromancer mage transformed them into undead, sternly rebuking his companion.

"The other party is a Steel-class adventurer who is skilled in stealth. Although he has completed many difficult missions, he has never been seen by anyone. We know nothing about his abilities or talents."

The red-robed, bald-headed undead mage turned around, and the undead behind him staggered to their feet, joining the dark mass of undead soldiers.

This is what the bald mage has been busy with since arriving in Kahn Village: capturing the villagers on the outskirts of the village without alerting the target, and turning them into tools to deal with the adamantite-level adventurer next to the target.
