Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

Jack raised his head angrily: "Are you asking for death?!"

However, a high-quality steel nameplate was thrown in front of him like trash.

Jack's angry face froze, and he immediately looked at Shi Yu with a fawning expression:

"Sir, please tell me. As long as it's within my power, I will go through fire and water for you."

Shi Yu pursed his lips.

The reason he went to get a high-grade steel nameplate was for this very moment.

He can't possibly have to personally take action to prove his prowess when fighting a minor enemy; that would be too embarrassing.

The status of a Steel-level adventurer carries immense prestige in any country, as top-tier adventurers who deal with monsters year-round are someone even nations are unwilling to antagonize.

Shi Yu casually tossed out a bag of gold coins.

“I want the daughter of that family that just left.”

Jack glanced at Shi Yu hesitantly.

Shi Yu said with a smile, "These two guys were cursing my partner in the hotel just now, you understand? If you do a good job, this money is yours."

Jack opened the money bag, and the gleaming gold coins dazzled him.

"Yes! I understand! I understand, sir! This is easy to do."

Then, as if remembering something, he said with some concern:

"However, they also have a young lady who is a student at the magic academy and a disciple of the Imperial Preceptor..."

Shi Yu chuckled and pointed at the nameplate.

Jack immediately slapped himself. Right, the other person is a Steel-level adventurer, what's there to be afraid of?

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away and make sure those two little girls are obediently brought to your bed!"

Shi Yu snapped his fingers casually.

"Cursed Darkness!"

A beam of dark light enveloped Jack.

"This is……?"

Jack looked at Shi Yu with some panic.

"You only have two days. If you fail, the curse will erode your soul and make you wish you were dead. After seven days, you will die a terrible death."

This was originally a skill of the headless rider from the Konosuba world, which Shiyu learned from Banir. The delayed curse is perfect for threatening people.

Jack's expression changed, and he felt a faint pain emanating from his body, his face filled with fear: "Yes! I'll go right away!"

Milim, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines, was somewhat envious of the high-grade steel nameplate in Shi Yu's hand:

"Where did you get this? I want one too."

"Okay, let's go to the Adventurers' Guild and farm one."

……

Alshe Eve Lil Field.

She is the eldest daughter of the four strategists in the Empire arc of Overlord.

She has a pure, sweet, and elegant appearance; she is friendly to her friends and caring towards her younger sister.

Because their family was stripped of their title and noble status by the Blood Emperor, their parents, still unable to accept reality, squandered money on unnecessary luxuries, accumulating a debt of approximately 300 gold coins...

To pay off his parents' debts, Arshe became an illegal worker and joined the "Four Strategists" team.

He rarely has the money to upgrade his equipment, but at a young age he can already use third-tier magic. He is born with the supernatural ability of a magic eye that can see through the strength of a magic caster.

He is one of the few native inhabitants of the other world in the anime who knows Ainz Ooal Gown's true strength, and is considered one of the stronger humans.

Shi Yu's goal this time was to buy her twin sister from her disgusting parents.

Although Shi Yu preferred to kill those two scumbags directly, it would undoubtedly embarrass Asheer, after all, they were her biological parents. Even if he was trying to save them, the matter had not yet occurred, and it would only cause misunderstandings.

In his previous life, Shi Yu felt extremely sorry for this poor young lady when he watched the anime.

Especially after reading the ending of the three sisters in the paperback version, I wanted to grind Ainz Ooal Gown and his parents to dust.

It was also in this volume that all the viewers began to transform from the Pink Bone King to the Black Bone King, because from this moment on, the Bone King no longer thought as a human being.

In the anime version, the captain of the "Four Strategists" deceived Ainz by pretending to be a member of the guild, which touched a nerve with Ainz and caused him to become extremely angry.

Arshe thus met a gruesome end, his voice belt given to the insectoid woman, his head to the demon, his arms to the struggling dead, his skin to Demiurge, and the rest of his body was used as food storage. It can be said that his body was perfectly utilized without any waste.

Arshe's two younger sisters also lost their source of income due to Arshe's death. Their parents were unable to repay their debts and were mortgaged to creditors. They eventually became prostitutes to merchants and died tragically a year later.

In the web version, Arshe was captured alive by Shalltear and became her slave, where he was subjected to all sorts of training and torture.

Because Ainz forbade any killing, even the right to die was taken away. Unable to bear the pressure, he eventually suffered a mental breakdown and became a walking corpse.

Alshe's two younger sisters were sold to slave traders by their parents, and after several twists and turns, they were given large amounts of sleeping pills as sacrifices to Ainz.

In short, regardless of the version, the ending of this poor girl with perfect character is incredibly tragic.

This is why Shi Yu has been trying to kill Ainz Ooal Gown ever since he learned that Ainz Ooal Gown existed in this world.

Chapter 187 Twins, They'll Definitely Fetch a Good Price

Adventurers' Guild

A staff member stood in front of Shi Yu with a fawning expression, introducing the task at hand.

"The client this time is Earl Vermeer, and the commission is to investigate the ruins within the kingdom's territory, including structures that are suspected to be underground tombs."

"You will be paid 2000 gold coins upfront, and another 1500 gold coins upon completion. This time, the deposit is unusually high, exceeding the final payment. Furthermore, the Earl will add bonuses based on the investigation results."

"Of course, all discovered magical items belong to the Earl, but the discoverer has the right to buy them at half the market price."

"Gemstones, precious metals, and works of art will be appraised first and then split 50/50. Moreover, this is a rare group mission, so safety is definitely guaranteed."

Shi Yu looked at the staff member's enthusiastic explanation of the commission with a strange expression.

He now knew that the mission before him was entirely orchestrated by the Blood Emperor, a mission to send people to their deaths.

The reason they approached me was simply because my registered address was in the kingdom, and the empire would naturally be happy if adventurers from the kingdom died in such missions.

"It's true that better to arrive at the right time than at the right time."

Shi Yu muttered, "Alright, we'll take this mission."

The staff were overjoyed and quickly helped Shi Yu register for the required level.

The reward for luring a kingdom's steel-level adventurers into the small 29 team is not small.

"Yes, Lord Dante. The investigation will last a maximum of three days. The main purpose is to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the ruins, such as where there are monsters and what kinds of monsters they are. Most importantly, it is an undiscovered tomb ruin!"

After the staff member finished speaking, the adventurers in the guild all lit up with excitement.

Two hundred years ago, when demons raged, several countries perished.

Not just human countries, but also countries of demi-humans and other species.

These destroyed countries sometimes hide rare treasures and magical artifacts.

Discovering these magical items is an adventurer's dream, because even the most ordinary magical item can provide them with a life free from want.

Unexplored ruins have the highest probability of containing magical items.

After hearing this news,

The adventurers in the guild were in an uproar. Such generous rewards were tempting to many of them, and the staff from the other world were all surrounded by people.

Shi Yu withdrew from the front early and looked around at the adventurers.

To be precise, most of them are workers, not protected by the Adventurers' Guild, doing dirty and tiring jobs as unlicensed laborers, and this kind of task is still very attractive to them.

This naturally included the four strategists who died tragically.

Miss Arshe held an iron rod almost as tall as herself, with intricate magical runes engraved on it.

She wore a loose robe draped over her body, with thick, protective clothing underneath. Her lustrous hair was cut short to shoulder length, and her features were very refined. She was a stunningly beautiful woman, but her entire being exuded the coldness of an alien doll.

She was accompanied by a thief, a paladin, and a half-forest elf.

The young lady couldn't wait to get closer and ask about the specifics of the mission.

It's often said that there's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

However, Arshe is a tragic character who has nothing to hate but is pitiful.

Despite possessing excellent magical aptitude and being a natural-born superhuman,

She didn't abandon her parents while they were indulging in their dreams of aristocracy.

Despite being a pampered young lady, her hands became hardened from working.

He would rather work illegally than not earn money to help his parents pay off their debts.

These perfect qualities undoubtedly make her a top-tier female lead, the kind that makes people fall in love with her.

Then he was dismembered by Ainz Ooal Gown...

The poor twin sister was also sold to slave traders and became their plaything.

Shi Yu doesn't consider himself a good person, but he will still lend a helping hand if he has the ability.

After Arshe and his teammates finished their excited discussion about the mission, he quietly followed behind Arshe.

Soon they arrived at an upscale residential area in a certain district of the capital.

The Overlord world is not like the real world. The other world is vast and sparsely populated, so this kind of house is not worth much money at all.

However, a nobleman's mansion was a symbol of social status, and those who were unwilling to spend money on decorating their mansions would become a laughing stock among the nobility.

Everyday items, jewelry, clothing, mansions, and courtyards—these items, when exchanged among nobles, were equivalent to military power.

Not only can it reveal one's dowry, but it can also truthfully convey the depth and breadth of connections.

Therefore, nobles always rushed to embellish their appearance.

However, this upscale villa area was deserted at the time, because most of the nobles had been stripped of their status by the Blood Emperor for being too useless and were unable to keep their houses.

In this deserted neighborhood, only one mansion is still inhabited; this is Alshe's home.

Arshe walked wearily into the mansion, which was now empty of all its servants.

The Fürth couple, dressed in fine clothes and displaying aristocratic bearing, nodded to her and said:

"Oh, you're back, Arshe."

Before answering, Arshe suddenly noticed the glass artifacts on the table.

The wine glasses, meticulously crafted by artisans, exude the elegant aura unique to high-end products.

Arshe's face turned ashen, because the house hadn't had this thing that morning.

"That is……"

Arshe asked in a somewhat desperate tone.

"Oh, this is the famous artist John..."

Arshe shouted in near collapse, "That's not what I'm asking! I'm asking how we got this when we didn't have it before!"

Baron Fürth calmly picked up a glass of red wine.

"Because I bought it this morning."

Hearing his father's relaxed tone, as if discussing the weather, Arshe swayed.

"……How much?"

"Uh, I remember it was fifteen gold coins, that's pretty cheap, right?"

Seeing her father's matter-of-fact expression, Arshe's eyes were already brimming with tears.

I just paid off part of the interest, but my debt has actually increased.

Why buy this?
