Problem Girls Strategy

Jiang Zao moved his five fingers, and for a moment he felt like he was making high-tech armor, so this magic was named: "Elemental Armor."

"Ok?"

"The name of this magic is [Elemental Armament]. Although it is not yet completed, I have decided to call it this!"

“Not bad, but I think it would sound better to call it ‘God-Destroying Armor’.” Huihui regretted that she couldn’t name this cool magic. She was not a warrior, but she also liked cool things, especially the shape of the gauntlet. The smooth lines and an indescribable feeling made her very moved.

If Jiang Zao knew Huihui's thoughts, he would definitely tell her that it was called a sense of technology.

"There are so many people who believe in gods in this world, and you dare to name it 'God-killing Armor'? Aren't you afraid that those believers will cause trouble for you?"

“Tsk, there are so many names of gods and demons killers in magic, how come I can’t be one of them?” Huihui sneered. She was just an innocent wizard who could only cast explosion magic. What was wrong with adding a few words like “destroying gods” in her lines?

"I won't talk nonsense with you. You are going to cast explosion magic, right? You can't go to the Gravel Desert. Have you found a good place?"

"Isn't your [Elemental Armor] not yet completed?"

"Now that we have the construction experience, we can explore slowly later. We can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Jiang Zao waved his hand to dissipate the magic. With the experience, he won't need to spend so much time on construction next time.

"Okay, then let's go to the abandoned castle we saw before and cast the explosion magic."

"Didn't I tell you before that that place looks like it has a hidden boss living there? Why did you set your sights on going there?"

"After we merge, the explosive magic we cast can severely damage even lord-level monsters. Even if there is a hidden boss hiding inside, it will be blown to death, right?"

Jiang Zao felt that what she said made sense, so he stopped arguing and asked, "Why do you insist on using the word fusion?"

“Because the story you told me before was so cool,” Huihui excitedly waved her fist, “I’ll form the head, this line is really cool!”

"Ah... So it's that story."

"So later Megatron successfully connected with Optimus Prime using the oil pipe, merged into Unicron, and defeated the final boss named Majin Buu?"

"Also, how did Frieza escape from QB's tentacle monster trap?"

Strange, have I ever told her so many imaginative stories before?

Jiang Zao scratched his head and decided not to bother with these questions. He was just making things up anyway, so he just told Huihui the story on the way to the abandoned castle.

"It is said that King Frieza made a wish to QB because he longed to obtain the miraculous power of a magical girl. However, this QB was not the same QB. Instead of fulfilling Frieza's wish, it tricked him into a wilderness and said that it would hold a job transfer ceremony in an empty and deserted place."

"Frieza, blinded by power, didn't suspect anything and fell into the trap carefully designed by QB. He inhaled the pink smoke sprayed by the tentacle monster without checking. His hands and feet became weak and his head was full of stars. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked. Unfortunately, he couldn't use his invincible power and couldn't escape."

"QB stood at the edge of the pit of the trap and laughed at Frieza who was surrounded by pink tentacles: 'Frieza, you pursued power too much and took the wrong path. Now you are in such a situation. I wonder how you feel?'"

Frieza snorted coldly. As a powerful warrior in the universe, how could he be afraid of such a low-level trap? However, the slippery and sticky touch on the soles of his feet made his body tremble. He thought to himself: How could it know my weakness? I only told Cell!"

"Hehehe, hahahaha!!! QB laughed crazily, then pulled off its hood. The familiar face made Frieza's body tremble wildly, his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole, and he said in a trembling voice: 'It's you! Bai...'"

Jiang Zao paused for a moment, then pointed to the abandoned castle not far away: "We are here, Huihui, let me draw out your void weapon."

"Alright, alright, put away your middle finger. I know you are angry about me suddenly interrupting the plot and not saying the name, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Let me use some explosion magic first."

Chapter 257: Holding it in for too long is bad for your health

The power of this combined explosion magic was just as Jiang Zao had expected, not as great as when the magic was connected. Huihui learned her lesson and this time she targeted a place farther away from the castle.

If they blew up the castle, they would be in trouble if they didn't have a landmark building next time. The blast caused the woods to ripple with green waves. Huihui's face was shiny and she showed an expression of great satisfaction and comfort, and she fell backwards.

Jiang Zao skillfully caught her, carried her on his back, and then set out on the journey back.

"By the way, you look particularly happy this time. Is it really that comfortable to have your magic power completely drained away?"

"I'm not happy because I've used up all my magic power. I'm happy because I can cast Explosion Magic." Huihui tilted her head and pressed it against Jiang Zao's cheek, complaining, "Because I have to take care of you and Pekorim, I haven't cast Explosion Magic for more than two weeks."

"I'm so sorry for making you endure for so long." The magnetic and gentle voice penetrated into his ears like an electric current. This was the first time that Jiang Zao spoke to her with the same attitude as he treated Kokoro.

"Don't... don't talk to me in such a disgusting way... If... if you feel guilty, why don't you merge with me more often and release explosion magic to make up for it."

"I will think about it."

Humph, it turns out that being patient for such a long time does pay off. Jiang Zao must be feeling guilty towards me right now and wants to compensate me heavily.

Huihui was so happy that she imagined the enhanced version of the explosion magic that would be performed once a day.

If she wasn't carrying Huihui on her back, Jiang Zao would have wanted to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands. For a girl like her who is addicted to explosion magic, it would be so uncomfortable if she didn't use it for a day.

Just like an adolescent boy who, after first tasting the joy of applying glue, feels uncomfortable if he doesn't do it for a day. If he is forced to hold it in for more than two weeks, won't the house be filled with glue when the ban is lifted?

This is Huihui's current situation, so his attitude is so gentle. After holding it in for so many days, his magic wand is about to explode. It's really hard for this child.

"If you want to eat something when you get home, I'll make it for you."

"Don't do this... I'm a little uncomfortable with this."

"Let me get you another can of Coke. There are only a few bottles left in stock. I'll leave them all for you."

"I told you not to be like this. Your attitude is too scary. I suspect you will cook me into a dish when you go back." Huihui used her neck to push Jiang Zao's cheek with her head.

"I've heard that you have paranoia. You're not used to my nice attitude towards you. I'm not Uncle Ba, I know how to behave. How can I make you into a dish?"

Jiang Zao's previous sentence made her fall into self-doubt.

Could it be that I really have paranoid delusions?

Huihui was a little shaken, but did not make a final conclusion immediately. Jiang Zao's changed attitude made her feel familiar, so she decided to ignore the matter for the time being.

"Why do I feel like you walk fast and slow at times?"

"You just noticed it?" Jiang Zao chuckled twice, then explained to her: "I used [Elemental Armor] to condense armor on my legs. The speed slowed down because the construction failed and the amplification effect was temporarily lost."

"Are you sure you can condense a full body armor?"

"No problem. Following your instructions, the mental burden is much less. I can handle it with ease."

While the two were talking, the construction of Jiang Zao's leg armor was completed. His talent [Within reach] helped him quickly learn useful experience from failure and apply it to the next construction. After dozens of trials and errors, he completed the preliminary construction of the leg armor.

Like the hand armor, the leg armor is also silver-gray and has no special shape. This is because they are still in the initial stage and need to undergo a lot of polishing and improvement, as well as testing in actual combat before they can be considered complete.

Although it is different from the support and protection magic he had imagined at the beginning, [Elemental Armament] is more like a magic tailor-made for himself and cannot be cast on others. Unless he is very familiar with that person's body and fighting style, otherwise it can only be his own exclusive ancient magic.

There is a saying that goes, as long as I kill all the enemies, won’t my teammates be safe?

The leg armor's enhancement is simply speed. This method of amplifying by parts satisfies Jiang Zao's idea of ​​"having it all", and there is no need to worry about how to mix a large number of amplification effects into one magic.

Although the abandoned castle is not as long as the gravel desert and is two hours away from Landsol, it is still more than an hour's journey. With the enhancement of the leg armor, Jiang Zao managed to bring his men back to the royal city in only about half an hour.

Hui Hui was surprised at how fast they were going, and then she seemed to remember something and asked shyly, "Jiang Zao, does your promise to leave all the remaining Coke to me still count?"

"count."

"Great! Then bring me a bottle right away when you get back!"

After casting the delightful enhanced explosion magic, you can go home and drink a bottle of ice-cold Coke. Life is so wonderful!

The smile on her face became even brighter, and her legs, which had regained some strength, swayed rhythmically to the song she hummed.

"I have to go do a commission tomorrow, remember to get up early."

"Didn't Pekorim recover from her injury not long ago? Why is she taking on a commission so soon?"

"She was the one who asked for the commission. Besides, most of the money we got from buying high-quality ingredients to defeat the Sand Scorpion King was spent on it, so the guild doesn't have much money left."

“You used up the two million Eris to buy food!” Huihui couldn’t believe her ears. “Why are the food so expensive? Were you guys ripped off?”

"There is no one in this world who can deceive me and Pekolim about the ingredients." Jiang Zao is very confident about this. After cooking with all kinds of strange ingredients in the other world, he vaguely feels that his cooking skills, which have not changed for a long time, are about to break through to Lv8.

If Lv6 to Lv7 is the watershed between mortals and geniuses, then Lv7 to Lv8 is the gap between genius and prodigy. Going higher, Jiang Zao suspects that he will be able to use ordinary ingredients to create extraordinary levels with built-in BUFFs. As for Lv10, he now only has two skills of this level.

One is [Language Proficiency], and the other is [Void Genome]. The various incredible effects of the former alone are enough to prove how powerful the skills of this level are. By forcibly communicating with magic and elements that do not have the concept of language, and then gaining the ability to control the opponent, it can be seen that they have reached the strength of rules.

Jiang Zao suspected that if he wanted, he could even rely on this skill to communicate with inorganic objects like stone, but in order to prevent his SAN value from exploding, he cautiously did not try it.

It would be fun if you happened to chat with Mr. Ke.

Chapter 258 Love Oolong

The next day, Pekorim accepted a commission from the Adventurer's Guild to defeat the Dorom Colossus. The reward was not high, but the target was very special.

The Dorom Colossus is a monster made up of giant gear-shaped biscuits all over its body. It is more than ten meters tall, and has balanced physical and magical resistance, not leaning towards either side. The cream aroma spreading from the dark brown biscuits has a chance of causing a stun effect on people, and the more wounds on its body, the stronger the aroma, and the higher the chance of causing stun.

The most crucial reason why Pekorim chose this commission is that after the Dorom Colossus is defeated, a beautifully packaged gift box will drop, which is filled with cookies with various strange effects, and no one can restore their taste. It is a very special monster dish.

If she hadn't happened to see this commission right after it was posted on the commission board, it would probably have been taken up by another adventure guild in a short time. Food with special effects is also very popular on the continent of Astraea.

Following the instructions on the commission, the group arrived at the ruins covered with rubble and debris. The Colossus of Dorom stood quietly on the ground, like a uniquely shaped tower, in sharp contrast to the surrounding white marble columns that were broken into several sections.

Just by looking at the towering golem, Megumin’s uncontrollable explosion magic soul was ready to move: “This guy’s body shape is very suitable for me to use explosion magic, right! Right! Right!”

"You'd better save your energy." Jiang Zao stretched out his right hand to hold her, and the [Elemental Armor] leg and hand armor appeared: "Let me try the effect of the new magic."

Kokoro had already introduced the characteristics and abilities of the Dorom Colossus to him on the way here, and it was the perfect object for testing [Elemental Armament].

Huihui also wanted to see how far the ancient magic could go after being optimized with her suggestions: "Okay, you can't snatch the next expedition commission from me."

"Thank you."

After Jiang Zao pulled out Pekorim's void weapon, he rushed towards the Dorom Colossus alone. The wind element gathered in front of its mouth and nose to form a temporary filtering device to counteract the creamy aroma it emitted.

"Master...Is he in danger?" Kokoro bit her lip lightly, her eyes full of worry.

In order to test the amplifying effect of magic, Jiang Zao didn't even let her release [Protection of Light].

"Don't worry, that's the ancient magic that Jiang Zao created under the guidance of my great magician Hui Hui. It's definitely not weak!"

"After your guidance, will it really not explode for strange reasons..." Kaede suspected that the function of those armors was not defense, but to punch the monster and then produce a powerful explosion, which was in line with Huihui's personality of loving explosions.

"I don't approve of explosions other than explosion magic!"

"Well, in that case, Kaede's [Grimm Explosion]..." Pekolin didn't finish her words, but everyone already understood what she meant.

[Green Explosion] also has an explosion effect, don’t you agree with that?

"Kai...Kailu is a companion, so there is no problem. Well, I don't agree with any explosion except that released by a companion!" Huihui hurriedly revised her ideas. Speaking of Kailu, she remembered that she and Jiang Zao could release explosive magic together without relying on [Magic Touch].

She cleared her throat, puffed out her chest, held her head high, and walked gracefully in front of the three people with a magic wand in hand, like a proud black cat. She raised the corners of her mouth and proudly announced: "Just yesterday, Jiang Zao and I merged successfully!"

"Merge!?" X3

In Pekolim's imagination, Huihui somehow persuaded Jiang Zao yesterday, and then rode on his shoulders, just like the horse riding game she played with her father when she was a child. The memory made her feel a little envious: "That's great... I also want to play like Jiang Zao."

"Congratulations, both of you." Kokoro smiled and clapped her hands. Last night, Jiang Zao told her that they could jointly release explosive magic without using the [Magic Touch].

Kailu's eyebrows twitched wildly. Without her noticing, Huihui and Jiang Zao had actually formed that kind of relationship. Even Pekolim wanted to join in. She began to wonder if she had slept with him for several years. How could the relationship between these three people develop so quickly? "When did you fall in love with Jiang Zao?"

As soon as these words came out, Hui Hui, who was still feeling proud, turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She couldn't even hold the magic wand in her hand steadily, and it fell straight to the ground. She stuttered and said, "You...what are you talking about...I...how can I like Jiang Zao..."

"Karu, Megumin mentioned the combined ten-finger explosion magic."

"Ah? Oh, I misunderstood. Sorry." After being awakened by Kokoro, it was Kailu's turn to blush and feel embarrassed. She wished her toes could dig a hole leading straight to the center of the earth so that she could crawl into it.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Pekolim quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of lovers, I guess none of you have any experience in love, right?"

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Kailu gave her a grateful look and continued the topic: "Could it be that you have someone you like now?"

"No...no, I'm just suddenly curious about what kind of boys everyone likes."

"I like boys who are sincere, honest and hardworking." Huihui's requirements are very simple. Coming from a poor family, she does not have high demands on her future partner.

"It's surprisingly easy. I thought you would like the kind of guy who looks cool in everything he does and can cast cool magic."

“Kailu, what’s so good about that kind of guy? He’s obviously not honest and likes to flirt with other girls.” She spoke with a mature mindset that was completely different from her childish appearance. Facing the surprised looks of her companions, Huihui added, “That’s what my mother told me.”

"Huh? So the Crimson Demons are monogamous?"

Facing Pekorim's doubts, Kokoro explained for her: "The Crimson Demons do not oppose polygamy, but they are basically monogamous."

"Can you accept polygamy?"

Kailu replied absentmindedly: "The orcs don't have such rules. Polygamy and polyandry are very common, as long as you are strong enough."

"What a wild style... But we humans don't have any rules in this regard. Except for the current king who only married the queen, most of the other nobles have several wives."

Huihui looked at Kokoro and thought that the elves, a race that looked otherworldly, shouldn't be so open in this regard?

Unexpectedly, her next answer almost shattered her three views.

Chapter 259 The Real Daughter

“Me?” Kokoro answered Huihui with a warm smile, “Elves are not as delicate and sensitive as humans in terms of emotions. Compared to this kind of emotion, we value the agreement more. As the master’s exclusive guide, I will always be by his side until his life comes to an end.”

"Isn't this... no different from being a lover?"
