I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Looking at Asuna who was in high spirits beside him, Chris swallowed back what he was about to say.

Asuna had not shown off her cooking skills in front of Chris due to lack of energy.

But now, after the gains and repairs brought by the upgrade, Asuna's spirits have improved a lot.

Although I am still a little sleepy, I can still stay awake for the whole day.

Although fighting with high energy will make one's spirit very tired, with Asuna's strength, even if she can't win, can't she escape?

In addition, they are now in the "Novice Village", and there is almost nothing worth Asuna's concentration and full effort.

So, when Chris took out a bunch of cooking ingredients from another world, Asuna's passion for cooking suddenly burned.

She watched Chris work on the materials while she figured it out herself.

“What fresh vegetables!”

"This piece of meat is of great quality. Is it from a monster?"

"Huh?! What is this?! The vegetables are moving? Is it a vegetable-type monster?!"

Chris couldn't help laughing as he watched Asuna fumble with the kitchen knife.

Under Asuna's displeased gaze, he quickly stepped forward to help.

A sumptuous dinner was prepared through the joint efforts of the two.

"Oh! What's going on? We're using the same ingredients, but why is your cooking so delicious, Asuna?!"

"This is probably talent!"

Looking at Asuna's smug smile, Chris ate voraciously and pushed the food he made aside with tears in his eyes, preparing to save it for tomorrow's lunch box.

Not long after, Asuna, who had finished her meal, prepared to take a bath in the bathroom.

Watching Asuna calmly changing her clothes in front of him, Chris took a sneak peek and then breathed a sigh of relief.

She pretended nothing had happened, and washed the dishes while talking to Asuna about her experiences of the past few days.

It was not until Asuna walked into the bathroom that Chris collapsed and let out a long breath.

"Fortunately, fortunately..." She patted her barren chest gently, with a look of relief on her face for surviving the disaster.

……

……

the next day.

Adventurer's Guild.

Led by Chris, the two first greeted Miss Luna, and then walked towards the bulletin board with each other's blessings.

"Chris, have you been taking missions here these days?"

Asuna said to Chris while looking at the notice board in front of her.

"Well, but you were in a coma during that time, Asuna, so you didn't take on any missions to defeat monsters. You only accepted commissions from the residents in the city and helped them complete some tasks." Chris scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"I see..." Asuna nodded.

The bulletin board in front of me is filled with orders.

These are all quests offered to adventurers to take on.

Asuna browsed through them one by one, subconsciously ignoring those tasks issued by the residents of the city.

……

"Defeat the giant frogs: Defeat five giant frogs within three days, the reward is 100,000 Eris."

"Subjugating Goblins: Subjugating the goblins living at the edge of the forest. The reward for subjugating one is 20,000 Eris, with no upper limit."

"Defeat goblins: Go to the nearby dungeon and defeat groups of goblins in the dungeon. The reward for defeating one goblin is 20,000 Eris, with no upper limit."

The tasks posted at the front of the bulletin board are very common, simple and profitable.

Monsters like giant frogs, goblins, and elves are all monsters that novice adventurers can deal with.

Well, the prerequisite is that those novice adventurers are fully prepared.

Otherwise, there is a possibility of failure.

Moreover, these subjugation missions are all outside the city of Axel.

If it was a novice adventurer, if all the time spent on traveling and conquering enemies was added together, a whole day would probably pass by without him having to do anything else.

Furthermore, after defeating the monsters, the adventurer must also bring back the materials specified in the commission. If an adventurer is alone, it will definitely take more time.

In order to take care of Asuna, Chris has not taken any of the expedition missions these days. He has directly accepted the missions from the residents in the city to earn a little money.

……

In addition to these simple crusade missions, there are also some other missions.

……

"For cutting down the Aigil trees that have a negative impact on the forest, the reward will be calculated based on the quantity—"

"Find the lost pet white wolf. The reward is three thousand eris."

“Looking for subjects for magic experiments. The starting reward is 20,000 Eris.

(Note: You need to have strong physical strength or high magic resistance... otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk)"

“Purify the lake: The lake, which is one of the water sources for this town, has deteriorated in water quality and has begun to be inhabited by ferocious alligators. We need to commission personnel to purify the water.

If the lake water can be purified, the monsters will naturally move their habitat and there will be no need to defeat them.

Note: The priest who needs to learn purification magic will be paid 300,000 Eris."

These are relatively simple tasks, and there is basically no risk to life... maybe?

Asuna looked at the four characters "At your own risk" on a certain order form, her mouth twitched, and she continued to look back...

……

"Defeat the White Wolf Pack: The ranch outside the city was attacked by a White Wolf Pack. Defeat them. The reward is one million Eris."

"Subjugating the One-Strike Bear: If you see a One-Strike Bear in the forest outside the city, the reward for driving it away is 500,000 Eris. If you subjugate it, the reward is 2,000,000 Eris."

"Defeat the manticore and the griffin: The manticore and the griffin are fighting for territory somewhere. It would be dangerous to leave them alone, so please defeat both of them at the same time. The reward is 500,000 Eris."

Compared with the previous tasks, these are extremely difficult tasks. If you are not careful, even high-level adventurers will face life-threatening danger.

Generally speaking, the tasks on the notice board are already very complete, with all kinds of tasks available. There is no need to worry that adventurers will not get paid due to insufficient tasks and end up becoming bandits or robbers.

Moreover, the difficulty of these tasks can be seen from the level of rewards.

The more difficult the task is, the greater the reward will be, and naturally, the more dangerous it will be.

"Hey, Asuna, let's take this mission."

Chris tugged at Asuna's sleeve and pointed to a request form on the notice board.

"This……"

Looking at the contents of the request form, Asuna hesitated.

Chapter 10: Eh? Isn't this a weapon bought from the roadside?

"Defeat the giant frogs: Defeat five giant frogs within three days, the reward is 100,000 Eris."

……

“Isn’t it too easy?”

Looking at the information on the order form, Asuna leaned close to Chris' ear and whispered.

The breath so close to him made Chris feel weak and his earlobes turned pink.

She quickly reached out and tore off the commission form on the notice board, diverting attention and saying:

“I think it’s just right.”

"Although your individual stats are high, Asuna, it's better to proceed step by step when it comes to adventures, right?"

“Besides, the giant frog monster is on the prairie not far from the city, and not too far from Axel, so it’s convenient for us to come back and rest.

As for other tasks, they are quite far from Axel, and it would take a lot of time just to travel.

Besides, Asuna, your condition has just recovered a little, so let's start with the simple ones, and then gradually defeat other powerful monsters!"

Chris's analysis was very logical.

"Okay then." Asuna nodded and did not object.

Although the monster that he was about to defeat was known as the "Giant Frog", the fact that its defeat mission was posted on the Adventurer's Guild in the Novice Village was enough to demonstrate its strength.

Like the white wolf pack nearby, because they were attacking a group of monsters, their reward was only one million Eris.

There are also the One-Strike Bear, the Manticore, and the Griffin. Isn't that one worth half a million?

This "giant frog", although its name contains the word "giant", but it only takes 100,000 Eris to subdue three of them, which is nothing compared to its predecessors.

"Forget it, let's finish those simple subjugation missions quickly, and then go subjugate those powerful monsters later."

"Once I've dealt with them, I'll probably have paid off the three million yuan debt I owe."

As they thought about it, Asuna and Chris took the order form, said something to Luna, and then walked out of the city.

If they were ordinary novice adventurers, Luna might have advised them to find a few more people and form a team to defeat the giant frog.

However, with Asuna, a freak whose basic stats far exceed those of high-level adventurers, defeating weak monsters like giant frogs should be a piece of cake.

Before, Luna was still worried that Asuna would rely on her high basic stats to defeat those powerful monsters.

But now, Luna no longer has to worry.

"With Chris here, Asuna will definitely not act rashly."

Behind the counter, Luna looked at Asuna and the other person slowly leaving and smiled with relief.

……

……

Under the cloudless sky, a gentle breeze slowly blew in from afar, pressing down the endless blades of grass and rushing towards Asuna and the others like waves.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a heavy sound, accompanied by a slight tremor of the ground, sounded abruptly on this vast plain.

"Dong dong dong..."

The sounds became denser in an instant, and the grass leaves that were originally pressed down by the wind began to sway their slender bodies continuously as the ground shook.

"That's... a giant frog..."

Under the few trees on the plain, Asuna looked at the large frogs that suddenly emerged from the soil, and her eyes jumped involuntarily.

"That's right!" On the side, Chris was waving a dagger, as if he was fighting an invisible giant frog!

"Don't be fooled by their ugly appearance, but as monsters, they are edible!"

“Although the meat is relatively hard, the taste is quite good!

Especially the roasted frog meat you made last night, Asuna, it was the most delicious roasted meat I have ever eaten in my life!"

Asuna was stunned. "Last night...were we eating giant frog meat?"

Chris: “Yeah, it tastes great!”

Asuna's mouth twitched, and she looked at Chris who seemed to be savoring the taste of last night's barbecue, wondering what she felt in her heart.

Their meat is indeed good...but they look...

No, no, no, I can’t think about it anymore, otherwise I will never be able to eat frog meat in the future!

Asuna shook her head repeatedly.

Then, she looked down at the dagger she had specially prepared for this purpose, and silently put it behind her waist.

"It's a rare occasion that I want to take it seriously, but in the end..."

Looking at the white sticky liquid slowly flowing out of the giant frog's mouth, Asuna instantly gave up the idea of ​​fighting it in close combat.
