Wrong, my team members are from daily life

"Other than that...most of the time she's still pestering me to give her that thing...oh, Greedy Blue Moon?"

"It's Crazy Moon Thunder Hammer Death!" Tu Shou's head suddenly popped out and gently stroked Xia Jia's head.

Xia Jia felt relieved. Tu Shou was still a good boy, but...

"Where's the black cat?!"

"Hmph, a mere half-demon, that kind of thing can't even compete with a thunder hammer user!"

At this time, the black cat was covering its face and rolling on the ground, making a sound.

Ha ha……

The corner of Xia Jia's mouth twitched. Although he was brainwashed by the second-year student for a while, did he feel ashamed after he reacted?

Sure enough, Kuroneko's socially phobic chuunibyou is still too weak when facing a real chuunibyou social terrorist.

But then again, Cecil's words made Xia Jia a little concerned...

"The mercenary you mentioned. Is he the bald, one-eyed guy with scars all over his face?"

Chapter 22 Ability Update, Constant Anchor

“Bald?” Cecil recalled, “Mercenaries all seem to look like that. I can’t remember clearly.”

"Besides..., I spent the whole day cleaning up that little brat's ass, and I didn't pay attention to anything else."

Tu Shou suddenly said, "Master is right, Death. The arm of that mercenary is pregnant with the aura of darkness. If the seal is broken, the world will be over, Death!"

Shaga understood the situation.

I guess he saw the bandage on that guy's hand and thought he was one of his own so he went up to greet him...

However, Tu Shou's way of greeting probably seemed more like picking trouble to the mercenaries.

Cecil was reminded by Touma, and seemed to have thought of something. He put his index finger on his chin and recalled:

"Come to think of it, they seem to be transporting something incredible. Such a big box wrapped in black cloth, very mysterious. Is it a dropped item from a high-level monster?"

Xia Jia frowned, feeling as if something bad was going to happen.

Black Cat came over to listen to the general idea and asked in a low voice: "Mission?"

"I'm afraid so." Xia Jia patted his face, his head began to ache: "Okay, we'll investigate tomorrow, let's stop here today..."

As he said that, Shagara took Toumori and Kuroneko to the backyard, asked the goddess to update their ability values, and then announced the end of the first test.

"Don't, Death! Toushou hasn't defeated the Demon King Death yet, and the information about the invisible boundary line hasn't been fully collected Death! It's impossible to return to Death now!"

"There's nothing I can do about it. My magic power has reached its limit, so that's all for today." Xia Jia crossed his arms over his chest and snapped his fingers.

"The world has rejected me!"

As the spell to break the spell was chanted, Touma and the black cat's bodies turned into golden light particles and dissipated.

After removing the magic, Xia Jia breathed a sigh of relief and checked the time...

"It's 2:6 in the afternoon. This magic will last about hours, and a lot of it is consumed by Kong who is crossing the boundary."

"It seems that if we want to expand the number of players, we need to first make the hole connecting the worlds constant."

Xia Jia stretched himself, took a bath, and washed away the fatigue from a day's exercise.

"You are so selfless in giving to Toushou, why should I pay you?"

Looking at the remaining 4400 faris, Xia Jia complained after giving Cecil 1000 for rent and food.

"Do I even need to ask? Because Tuo Shou is a member of the clan, and you are my opponent. Besides, 1000 is not enough, and you even damaged the armor I lent you." Cecil's reasons were very sufficient.

Xia Jia could only laugh dryly.

"So, where's Toumori? I wonder if he's gone somewhere else to play again."

I can't tell you that they have left this world... Xia Jia rolled his eyes and said casually: "They have gone home and only come during the day."

"really?"

"This is the truth, I swear to God." Xia Jia said firmly.

Cecil muttered in confusion: "I've never seen those two kids before. I thought they were from out of town."

Seemingly not wanting to get to the bottom of the matter, Cecil was busy refining Tushou's war hammer, muttering:

"How is it possible to add thunder to a weapon?"

Xia Jia's face was full of black lines: "Regarding this point, you are so partial to Tu Shou, the other members will be dissatisfied. You can't give everyone a special weapon."

"I have money for you to manage." Cecil's face was full of fascination: "Sanae-chan is simply an angel! No matter how much I pamper you, it's never too much."

Xia Jia really wanted to say, why not give me one too, but when he saw Cecil's unfriendly look, he immediately shut up.

Astraea walked over slowly, glanced at Cecil who was working overtime, and said softly, "Cecil, it seems that you like Sanae-chan very much."

"Of course, cuteness is absolute justice!! This is an eternal law!" Cecil was proud.

"I agree with this..." Xia Jia agreed: "Although Toumo is a fool, he is unexpectedly likable."

"Do you like it too, Xia-chan? Compared to Liuli-chan, which one do you like better?" Astraea teased.

"Please, don't make fun of me." Xia Jia blushed and raised his hands in surrender: "You don't need to ask for my answer."

Having experienced social failure several times, Xia Jia doesn't want to expose his inner desires anymore.

If I have to say, a harem is the ideal of every man.

However, a certain absolute evil once said that [ideal] is absolute justice.

I'm just carrying out the will of my goddess, it's not excessive at all!

……

Didn't get the answer I expected.

Astraea didn't care. She gently pulled up Shaga's arm and stroked it:

"A lot has happened today. Does it still hurt here?"

"Much better. Lady Leah." Xia Jia unnaturally withdrew his hand and scratched his face: "Just right, I have something to tell you, let's find a place where no one is, I can no longer control my primitive power."

"Ok?"

Cecil turned his head with a stiff face and puffed out his lips.

I won't be fooled again, damn Shaga!

In the shrine,

Xia Jia lay on the bed and slowly explained what happened today.

"A strengthened Minotaur..." Astraea looked relieved: "No wonder your attribute values ​​have increased so much."

Astraea handed Shaga the parchment with the ability values ​​engraved on it.

Xiajia lv1

Strength: I7 → H32 Durability: I13 → I50 Dexterity: I6 → I40 Agility: I4 → I44 Magic: I53 → H110

The total ability value increased by about 100. Considering the combat data of a level 2, it can only be said that it is normal but a little abnormal.

[Well, that's probably the attribute points that Bell gained in a week before he started cheating.]

Xia Jia recalled silently.

Before Bell obtained his Undivided Admiration, his total ability did not reach 100 points. However, referring to his monster-killing efficiency, he only managed to defeat about 50 goblins and earth spirits.

The growth of ability value is relatively slow, so Xia Jia has decided to rely on his harem! Well, he relies on his harem to become stronger!

Ah, I really envy Bell's yearning. When he first obtained it, every time he was hit by a goblin, his durability would increase by more than 70 points. It was simply terrifying.

I can only say that I have brought shame to many time travelers.

Putting down the parchment, Shaka asked the goddess to wait for a moment and returned to his room to activate the magic.

This time, he needs to stabilize the hole that runs through the world, so he needs to permanently consume his ability points.

"The stars are fixed here."

As the golden light went out, the needle-tip-sized hole became permanently fixed, and Xia Jia also felt weak all over.

Return to the shrine again and renew your abilities.

The ability value at this time...

Strength: H22 Durability: I20 Dexterity: I20 Agility: I24 Magic: H100

Under Xia Jia's control, the total attributes dropped by 100 points, mainly retaining the magic attribute without being weakened.

"This way, I can save the mana consumption of crossing worlds and recruit more followers."

After testing the cost of permanent summoning, Xia Jia nodded slightly.

Just as she was about to leave, Astraea called out to Shaga.

"Let's talk about the Minotaur..." The goddess hesitated and said, "I have a bad feeling..."

Chapter 23 Undercurrent

In the shrine, Astraea said solemnly: "I suspect that the monster incident was man-made..."

Xia Jia's expression was solemn and his pupils contracted: Man-made?

Astraea took out the magic stone that Shaka had seized earlier and analyzed: "After reproduction, most of the monsters on the ground have degenerated. The probability of a sudden emergence of a strengthened species is very small."

"Boss-level monsters have the ability to command lower-level monsters. Once discovered, they will usually issue a commission to subjugate them immediately."

"I know that." Xia Jia nodded...

Those goblins were already able to use simple tactics, establish encirclements, and rationally utilize existing weapons. They were unable to defeat the summoned leader, and they almost suffered a great deal.

and……

The appearance of enhanced species near the village is indeed too dangerous. That means there may be a huge wave of monsters nearby.

Think of this.

Xia Jia looked solemn, and placed a palm-sized purple magic stone on the table:

"This is a magic stone. Can you see anything wrong with it?"

Astraea picked up the magic stone, looked it over the magic stone lamp, and after carefully examining it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did you see?"

"No." Astraea said with relief: "For the time being, the possibility of transforming the monster has been ruled out. At present, we can only conclude that someone used a large amount of magic stones to feed the monster."

Feed?

Xia Jia thought for a moment: "So..."

"The mastermind can't even control the monsters he cultivated. This tells me..."

"The opponent is weak!"

He stroked his chin and continued to analyze: "If it were me, if I wanted to create a powerful monster, I would definitely lock it in a cage and then slowly build it up. How could I let it roam free?"

"The reason why the monsters are out of control is that the person behind the scenes cannot even capture the most basic monsters, or the monsters are out of control after being strengthened and are completely out of control."

"Whatever the reason, it tells us that the power and influence of the shady agents are not strong."

Astraea drew conclusions from her years of experience fighting against the dark factions:

"In any case, we can't just leave it alone. If they have subsequent plans, it may not end well. We should find out the culprit as soon as possible."

Shaka wrinkled his nose:

"That being said, if we want to investigate this matter, we must know what their purpose is. Are they just trying to create panic? No matter how much the monsters on the ground are strengthened, the upper limit of their weapons is probably level 3 at most. If we just send a commission to Orario, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

Astraea sighed: "I'm afraid their target is me."

"Lady Leah?"

Xia Jia was shocked at first, then relieved...

As the first line against the dark faction, Astraea is popular among the gods, but is also deeply hated by the dark faction.
