Wrong, my team members are from daily life

"what?"

"Large-sized firecrackers, please."

You really did it! Black Cat was stunned.

The two walked closely together and came to the outer gate of the city, where Xia Jia stopped a carriage.

"Go to the Forest of Loran."

The driver thought to himself where that was... but he didn't ask any more questions and drove towards the forest outside the city. Anyway, the mercenaries have been heading there recently, and it seems that something unusual has happened.

On the carriage, Xia Jia was still explaining to Black Cat that this world was just a game concept:

"Because I don't have enough magic power to provide you with too much power of existence, we have to hurry."

The purpose of this test is to determine how many hours the space gate can last for two players.

He doesn't have a system to test specific values. The ability value improvement brought by skills is very ambiguous and will not be displayed in the grace.

Black Cat nodded and hesitated, "Are all those mercenaries like that?"

Along the way, Black Cat reduced the momentum of Evil Eye's outburst, and it turned out to be because of that mercenary.

In response, Xia Jia just frowned...

The darkness of this world is everywhere, and only a few people are willing to save the world. After all, the main reason for deceiving the young players that this is just a game is to reduce the psychological burden. These people are different from Xia Jia. When facing a different world, panic and confusion are inevitable.

Unlike me, I have been preparing for this for several years. While mastering fighting skills, I have also dabbled in "superpower" competitions.

But Xia Jia had no choice but to give a simple explanation of Black Cat's concerns:

"Whether they are adventurers or mercenaries, they all work on the edge of a knife. The people in Orario are fine, but it's hard to say about the people outside the city."

"Most of them are losers who were driven out of the central city, or remnants of dark factions. They may also be adventurers whose families were broken up and ended up hiding outside to make a living."

Xia Jia briefly explained the relationship between the parties.

Anyway...

"The water is deep. It's best if we can avoid conflict. But there's no need to be too cowardly."

Xia Jia remembered that there was a level 6 boat driver in the game Dicuo. It was said that he was from the Osiris family who was destroyed by Hera and Zeus...

I hope I don't meet this kind of guy...

Xia Jia shuddered and continued, "People like the ones just now are just trash, relying on their fierce appearance to make a living. Just give them some punishment."

"Don't worry, if you can't stand this kind of behavior, you can wait until you recover your demonic energy and kill them all at once. Anyway, it's the duty of our Astralia family to enforce discipline."

Listening to Xia Jia's teasing, Black Cat finally raised the corners of her mouth. She shook her short hair, covered her lips with the back of her hand, and smiled evilly:

"Cool, cool, cool. Of course, when the seal on the Night Demon Queen is lifted, the holy black flame will turn her into ashes!"

Looking at the black cat who had regained his vitality, Xia Jia smiled and said, "Well, without further ado, let's start our adventure together!"

Two, two people!!!

The black cat suddenly realized something...

"A man and a woman alone, riding in a carriage together to enjoy the scenery, this, this is not... a date!!!"

"No, no, it's just a game!! But...but!!!"

The black cat's cheeks were burning, and he was at a loss...

"What's wrong with you? Are you excited?" Xia Jia teased.

"No, no!" The black cat turned its head to the side, looking at the dense forest path, the wild deer that occasionally jumped out from the roadside, and the natural scent surrounding its nose.

"It's incredible that such a realistic game can be made..."

Isn’t it... I directly dragged you to another world.

Xia Jia scratched his nose and said, "I've already told you, this is the real world. How is it? It's better than the so-called SAO, right?"

"Oh, you're so bold." Black Cat seemed to regain his sharp tongue and retorted, "At least they won't leave the players naked right from the start."

But it will burn your brain! In the physical sense.

Xia Jia complained in his heart, but could only smile: "I'm so sorry."

"Humph."

After riding in the carriage for nearly two hours, Xia Jia patted the driver and signaled them to get off.

The driver really wanted to say, after flirting with me all the way, you finally remembered me.

Shaka gave the remaining 500 faris to the driver and waved goodbye.

“Now I’m really broke.”

"Huh? Then how are we going to get back?" Black Cat was shocked.

"There will always be a way. At worst... run? Run back?" Xia Jia tentatively asked weakly.

"Huh? Do you think that's possible?"

"At most, you can just log off and I'll run back by myself..."

The black cat was speechless, with his hands on his hips, glaring at Xia Jia, like an angry girlfriend who had made a wrong schedule.

But this kind of dissatisfaction came and went quickly. It was just a game, and enjoying the scenery was also a way to enjoy the scenery.

"Let's go. Don't we still have work to do?"

"Ah, oh."

Xia Jia scratched his head and walked towards the dense forest with the black cat.

"According to intelligence, monster activities near the city have become more frequent recently, and there are signs that they are leaving their nests on a large scale. Our mission is to reduce the number of these monsters to ensure the safety of the trade route."

Xia Jia explained the purpose of this trip: "I am the one who is mainly responsible for the battle. Your task is to feel the real battle. If conditions permit, you can also choose to challenge some weak monsters..."

The mountains and forests in the world of Dicuo are different from the mountains in the city. They are overgrown with vegetation and have complex terrain. There are many vines blocking the way, making it very difficult to walk.

"If it weren't for the game, I definitely wouldn't want to run into this kind of deep mountain. Not to mention the battle, just walking for a few minutes would be enough to tire an ordinary person out."

For a stay-at-home girl like Kuroneko, a fifty-meter sprint is enough to make her breathless.

I just accepted the favor and can adapt to the current situation.

We explored the dense forest for nearly 40 minutes.

Xia Jia's face suddenly changed, and a rustling sound came from the surroundings at some point.

"Watch out! Get down!"

He warned, pulling out the racket from behind.

In an instant, five or six rocks flew towards Xia Jia and Black Cat.

"We're surrounded! And... they're old acquaintances!"

Xia Jia swung his racket violently, knocking back most of the oncoming rocks. After a few muffled groans were heard in the dense forest, he got into a receiving stance again.

A dozen green-skinned goblins appeared vaguely between the bushes, staring at Shaga with ferocious eyes.

The black cat squatted on the ground with a nervous expression. She glanced at the trees that were hit by the rocks. A layer of bark was blown off, revealing fresh trunks.

It must be painful to be hit by this thing.

"Although I feel a little embarrassed, I can't seem to stand up!" The black cat said softly, "Can you really do this? Even if it's just a game, I don't want to be do this or that to the goblins..."

Oh, where has your evil spirit gone?

Xia Jia didn't look at the black cat, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Who do you think you are talking to."

He clenched his racket and pulled out a green sphere from his pocket. "I can't beat someone who starts with the Heavenly Dance Wheel... a mere pitcher goblin..."

"Don't underestimate athletes, Kuroneko-san!"

black cat...

So... why are you playing tennis in a fantasy game? Player Shaga!

Chapter 18: First Battle, Unexpectedly Strong Enemy

"The flying swallow returns to its nest!"

The high-speed spinning tennis ball disappeared from the racket at an incredible speed.

In an instant, the head of a goblin in the distance exploded and turned into black ash.

Miraculously, the disappeared tennis ball returned to Xia Jia's hands in a strange arc and was caught steadily by him.

After becoming an adventurer, his strength, skills, and nerve reactions have almost reached more than one level, and he also has some ability values ​​from level 4 seniors.

Although it was only a little bit, it was still not comparable to the previous Xia Jia.

"Now I can even imitate the moves used by my previous opponents! And I can completely transform them into "Killing Tennis"!"

Without hesitation, the tennis ball was hit by Shaka again, this time three times in a row, they were like three green cannonballs, swirling out and returning to Shaka in a miraculous way.

Bump bump bump.

Continuous smoke and dust exploded with the sound, and the tennis ball was like a continuous line, alternating between Shaka and the monster. Most of the weak goblins could not withstand the huge damage and turned directly into smoke and dust.

The black cat was stunned: "Hey, using a tennis ball to kill a monster, isn't that too exaggerated!"

Xia Jia's head is full of black lines...

Why don't you tell this to real tennis players!

I remember you said at the time that this was just the level an ordinary athlete should have!

Shaka moved at high speed, attacking the goblins and knocking back their attacks. The swing of the racket was like swinging a sword, knocking back the rocks that were shot at him.

He... was like a wall, blocking me behind him.

Black Cat's eyes were blurry, he slowly let go of his nervousness and stood up, as if he would not let himself get hurt as long as this person was there.

"There aren't that many goblins left, so I think it's OK."

However, before the black cat could stretch its legs, a goblin saw that the situation was not good and roared loudly.

"Gabububububu——————"

"Nani!" The black cat's legs trembled as he was not standing firmly. He took a step back and almost fell down. "What happened?"

Xia Jia also looked solemn...

These monsters show wisdom that they shouldn't have!

Is it because you have lived on the ground for too long that you [learned] this?

Or……

Is there a leader leading this group of monsters?

Xia Jia's eyes suddenly swept in one direction.

Boom, boom, boom.

The dull sound of footsteps exploded from the woods over there.

Then, before the real body of the monster that made the sound was seen, a horrifying sound of breaking through the air exploded.

"Danger!" Xia Da yelled and tried to dodge, but the black cat behind him was obviously stunned.

In a hurry, Xia Jia stood still and swung his racket to block it.

Boom, snap—

The huge impact caused Xia Jia's arm holding the racket to feel severe pain, and then the racket broke and flew out of his hand.

Xia Jia was also pushed back several steps.

"Moo-"

The surging roar of a bull exploded from the dense forest. The scarlet eyes stared at the direction of Xia Jia, and the hot air spewing from the nostrils symbolized the other party's emotions.

It's over, it's over, I've pissed off the boss, I need to get out of the way! It's going to hurt like hell if you get hit by that thing!

Black Cat clearly remembers the pain brought by this game. It was so real that being killed would definitely leave a psychological trauma.

but……
