They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

As information was disseminated, Nagumo Hajime's eyes gradually brightened from their initial confusion.

From that moment on, he was certain that this chat group was his cheat code in another world!

For a moment, he even forgot about the fact that his profession was just the most useless [Alchemist], and stood up excitedly.

"Nagamo-kun, what's wrong?"

Nagumo Hajime's sudden action startled Shirasaki Kaori, who was reading a book with him across from him.

"No, it's nothing, Shirasaki-san. I just thought about something and went back to my room first."

Nagumo Hajime realized that he had gotten a little too excited.

He quickly made up an excuse and left in a hurry.

So fast that even Shirasaki Kaori didn't have time to react before Nagumo Hajime's figure disappeared.

"Nagamo-kun..."

Kaori Shirasaki stared blankly at the empty doorway, feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Nangumo and she have become estranged.

After returning to the room, I locked the door and, after making sure no one was there, eagerly entered the chat group.

He began with a very honest self-introduction.

Hajime Nagumo: "Hello, everyone. My name is Hajime Nagumo, and I am an ordinary high school student."

Rimuru: "High school student, huh? What a coincidence, I used to be one too."

Aihara Ryu: "What are you saying? Everyone used to be like that."

Hajime Nagumo: "Um, everyone, I've run into some difficulties and I hope to get your help!"

Zhu Cai: "Tell me about it."

If someone encounters difficulties, Shuna is undoubtedly the one most willing to offer help.

She only avoided the fate of losing her family and home because of the help of the group members.

Then, Nagumo Hajime began to introduce himself without any reservations.

For example, he was originally an ordinary high school student who, along with his classmates, was summoned to another world to become heroes.

Shuna: "So, you're currently lacking the ability to protect yourself, right?"

Nagumo Hajime: "Yes."

Masaki Keigo: "Why are they all from other worlds? Are there even natives in other worlds?"

Nan Yun Shi: "Could it be that someone in the group is also a time traveler?"

Masaki Keigo: "Yes, @Rimuru, this one."

Rimuru: "I admit to being transported to another world, but I'm not taking the blame for the fact that there are no natives in that other world. I'm just a harmless slime."

Elena: "So you admit you're an animal?"

Rimuru: "...Harmless is an adjective!"

Keigo Masaki: "@Hajime Nagumo, don't be afraid. If you encounter any difficulties, just tag me in the group, and I promise to come and save you as soon as possible."

While they were still hesitating, Masaki Keigo had already taken the initiative.

His motives were immediately apparent to the group members.

Rimuru: "@Hajime Nagumo, don't believe his nonsense. He's a perverted scientist who wants to capture you and dissect you for research."

Masaki Keigo: "Get lost! Stop slandering me outside. @Nagumo Hajime, don't believe it. It's just a scavenging slime. Think about it, humans and monsters, who should you believe?"

Rimuru: "Who eats carrion? I only eat fiber!"

Nagumo Hajime: "Um, this."

Seeing the two people sticking to their own versions of events, Nan Yun was at a loss.

Ling Yu: "Alright, you two, stop arguing. Can't you see you've scared the newcomers?"

Lin Qingtan: "Brother Ling Yu."

Ling Yu: "I'm here."

Lin Qingtan: "Lin Dong has already completed the task you assigned. He asked me to ask you when the second test will take place."

Ling Yu: "No rush. Let him cultivate properly and ask Xiao Diao if he has any questions. I'll come to your place when I have time."

Lin Qingtan: "Okay."

Ling Yu: "Alright, let's get back on track."

Ling Yu: "@Nan Yun Shi, actually there is still a lot of room for expansion after mastering this profession."

Nangumo began to have doubts.

But Ling Yu's answer then enlightened Nan Yunshi.

Ling Yu: "For example, hand-crafting revolvers, bullets, and even rocket launchers; these are all things that can be done in the later stages of mastering this profession."

Hajime Nagumo: "Really? Really?"

Upon seeing what Ling Yu had posted, Nan Yunshi was somewhat incredulous.

According to the pope who guided them, his profession as an alchemist was clearly an ordinary profession where he was not good at fighting.

They don't even have the most basic magical aptitude.

But now, after hearing Ling Yu say this, it seems like his profession is the strongest.

After all, as a nation that has personally experienced the power of nuclear explosions, he is confident that he can bring a small shock of nuclear explosions to the other world.

Ling Yu: "So you need to hurry up and upgrade. Also, if you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can tell us in the group. We won't sit idly by and watch you die in critical moments."

Hajime Nagumo: "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

This statement undoubtedly provided him with an extra layer of protection.

No matter how incredible a late-stage alchemist's abilities may be, right now he's just a weakling with absolutely no combat skills.

Hajime Nagumo: "Actually, in a few days, Commander Melda will arrange for us to conquer the Great Labyrinth. I'm really scared, but with your assurances, Mr. Group Leader, I think I can give it a try!"

Ling Yu: "Go for it, I believe in you."

[Group owner Ling Yu has sent you a special red envelope.]

Nan Yun was taken aback.

Click it quickly.

Then, light gathered in his palm.

Finally, it transformed into two light blue pistols.

Soon after, news about Ling Yu arrived one after another.

Ling Yu: "These dual pistols are called Water Sprite Type I. Consider it an investment I'm making in you. For you at this stage, they should be enough to keep you alive."

Ling Yu's actions greatly pleased Nan Yunshi.

This is the time when he is most afraid and most vulnerable, and Ling Yu's actions have undoubtedly given him hope for survival.

My gratitude is beyond words.

Looking at the two pistols in his hands, which gleamed with a pale blue light, Nan Yun Shi's eyes were filled with excitement.

Actually, he had a secret hidden in his heart: he was a severe case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

In other words, he often indulges in fantasies.

However, due to his somewhat timid personality, he is not good at expressing himself.

In the original story, it was only after he turned to the dark side that he completely changed his current cowardly personality.

Instead of engaging in internal conflict, choose to find pleasure in yourself and transfer your pain onto others.

This truly proves the saying that smiles don't disappear, they just move on.

at the same time

Everyone in the group expressed that they would be there immediately if Nagumo Hajime encountered any danger.

It's simply to earn points in that world.

Of course, the help was genuine.

After all, with Ling Yu's approval, those who can join the group are not too bad-hearted.

But that doesn't stop them from earning extra money, does it?

The word "other world" implies the existence of numerous monsters.

Not to mention the Great Labyrinth of Orcus, which has a hundred floors. According to the descriptions in most games, there is an extremely powerful boss every ten floors.

Killing the opponent will earn you a huge amount of points.

Since the resources in our own world are limited, let's go take a trip to other worlds.

Nagumo Hajime was also very touched by the 'enthusiasm' of the group members.

Previously, only a few friends, including Kaori Shirasaki, were willing to stand by his side.

But in the chat group, he felt a warmth similar to that of home.

"Everyone here is a very nice person."

He gave a summary.

Only a naive young man like Hajime Nagumo, who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of society, would have such thoughts.

Perhaps it was his natural affinity for having a 'cheat code' that made him completely unguarded with the people in the group.

Hajime Nagumo did not tell anyone about the Water Sprite Type I and the chat group.

As usual, he browsed through all sorts of documents and materials in the Kingdom Library.

He took Ling Yu's words to heart, and so, in the ten days leading up to his trip to the Great Labyrinth of Orcus, he continuously absorbed knowledge about minerals.

After the Alchemist profession is upgraded, it will be able to create many powerful modern weapons.

But what Nagumo Hajime never expected was that what Ling Yu said was based on the fact that he had consumed a large number of monsters in the original work and obtained many skills from them.

Among them, the most important point at the beginning is magic manipulation and the skill of entangling lightning.

Of course, the profession of alchemist also plays a huge role.

Without it, it's estimated that the shape and structure of firearms could not have been created.

After days and nights of waiting, the day to visit the Great Labyrinth of Orcus finally arrived!

Before the entrance to the maze

Grand Master Meldada of the Kingdom's Knights stood at the forefront, his gaze fixed on the entrance to the labyrinth, and shouted:

"Listen carefully, you must help each other in the maze, no matter what happens."

"Do you understand everything?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nagumo Hajime, filled with excitement, shouted along with his classmates, "Yes!"

His gaze was fixed intently on the entrance to the Great Labyrinth of Orcus.

Unlike the initial confusion and hesitation.

Right now, all he wants to do is level up as quickly as possible and unlock more of the Alchemist's skills.

Chapter 181 Nagumo Hajime: Be Your Hero

With everyone ready, the students, led by Captain Melda, officially began their dungeon exploration.

"Nan Yun, don't stray too far from me once you go inside."

Beside her, Shirasaki Kaori, holding the healing scepter, said to Nagumo Hajime, "Although I am also nervous, I have not forgotten my promise to Nagumo."

Yaegashi Shizuku, standing to the side, remained silent, gripping her sword hilt tightly and focusing intently.

"Thank you, Shirasaki-san."
