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

Learning all those very practical skills can add layers of buffs to yourself.

Because they rented a carriage, Asuna and the others quickly arrived at the forest where they had previously defeated the One-Strike Bear.

After tying up the carriage and leaving enough fodder, Asuna led Chris and Darkness back into the depths of the forest.

As the sky gradually darkened, the three of them soon arrived at the place where Yishou Xiong died.

Because the power of the One Strike Bear was still there, no other monsters dared to come here.

After the three of them had a brief rest here, they quickly set off on their journey under the cover of night.

Not long after, the giant trees deep in the forest collapsed.

Low dragon roars sounded from the depths of the forest.

There was also a faint sound of something colliding, rumbling in the forest.

But not long after, the movement in the forest suddenly disappeared, leaving only a devastated battlefield.

Darkness’s newly bought heavy sword was almost scrapped, and even the armor on his body became tattered, revealing large areas of snow-white skin.

Chris's condition was much better. She just walked back and forth and shot arrows. Before she ran out of energy, she shot out all the arrows she had. That's why she ended up in such a miserable state.

When both of them were powerless to resist, Asuna came on the scene and ended the life of the unfortunate earth dragon.

Chapter 22: Please find a few more tools

After dealing with the corpse of the earth dragon, Darkness and Chris were completely exhausted. No matter what Asuna said, they refused to get up and return.

They all clamored to rest for a night before going back.

At the end of the day, we fought two tough battles.

And most of the time, it was Darkness and Chris fighting there, with Asuna supporting them.

Although defeating these monsters was not a problem for Asuna, it was almost impossible for Darkness and Chris to win.

All they did was to exert their strength to the best of their ability and inflict as much damage to the monsters as possible in order to train themselves.

If Asuna hadn't supported them, they would never have done this, which would have been a suicide mission for them.

Because of this, after Asuna defeated the earth dragon and dealt with its corpse, Darkness and Chris immediately sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

Seeing that the two of them really didn't have the energy to rush back overnight, Asuna could only agree to rest here for a night and leave early the next morning.

Asuna cut some meat from the earth dragon and grilled it. Darkness and Chris immediately ran over greedily, staring at the grilled meat in Asuna's hand with their big eyes, wiping their saliva constantly.

“This… this is earth dragon meat. If I eat it, I’m sure I’ll gain a lot of experience points!” Darkness said while swallowing her saliva. “With Asuna’s cooking skills and this earth dragon meat, it’s simply the most premium dish among premium dishes!”

"Of course... of course! Asuna's cooking skills are amazing!" Chris nodded in agreement.

As someone who had eaten Asuna's food, she naturally knew how advanced Asuna's cooking skills were.

Even the God of Food in the divine world may not be able to defeat Asuna.

Moreover, there seems to be some mysterious blessing contained in Asuna's cooking.

That was a blessing that did not belong to their world. Although it was weak, it was still effective.

His cooking skills are comparable to those of the God of Cookery, and the dishes he creates contain some kind of mysterious power, which is more precious than those high-end dishes that can make people gain experience points.

"All right."

Seeing that the two of them couldn't wait any longer, Asuna proudly placed the barbecue on the plates they had already prepared.

"Ouch! It's hot!"

Darkness couldn't hold back any longer and took a bite immediately, then let out a series of exclamations, refusing to spit the barbecue in his mouth back onto the plate.

He just exhaled repeatedly, then quickly chewed and swallowed it, with a look of great enjoyment on his face.

On the other side, Chris used her dagger, which looked like a magical weapon, to cut the barbecue into small portions. She gently blew away the hot air with her small mouth and then quickly put it into her mouth.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to be burned as well, but the burn was much less severe than Darkness, and she quickly finished the entire portion of barbecue.

"Why are you eating so quickly? There's still so much meat. Be careful not to fill yourself up so much that you can't sleep at night."

Feeling the longing gazes from the two, Asuna said unhappily.

“Even if I die of stuffing, it’s worth it!” Darkness waved his fist, his eyes still fixed on the barbecue.

Chris nodded in agreement, "That's right! It's a rare opportunity to eat such delicious food. Even if I die of stuffing, I'm going to die of stuffing!"

So, in the second half of the night, Chris and Darkness couldn't fall asleep at all because they ate too much barbecue.

Asuna also took this opportunity to give the two of them some extra training.

By daybreak, the two men had already fallen into a deep sleep on the earth dragon's corpse.

Asuna dragged the corpse of the earth dragon out of the forest.

I don’t know how many weak monsters were scared away along the way.

The carriage they rented couldn't move at all because of the dragon's power. It just knelt on the ground and trembled, refusing to stand up.

There was no other choice, so Asuna had to tie up the small monster pulling the cart and throw it into the open carriage.

Then he connected the carriage and the earth dragon's body with a rope and pulled them back himself.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have rented a car."

Although Asuna didn't feel too much pressure at all, she couldn't help but grumble.

Axel soon after.

After the news of Asuna dragging the corpse of the earth dragon into the city spread, many adventurers began to talk about it again.

And the other end of the city wall.

"Asuna? Why do I seem to have heard this name somewhere before?"

Wearing a headscarf and with mud on her hands, Aqua looked at her co-workers not far away with confusion.

"Hey! Aqua! Stop being lazy! We're in urgent need of water! Hurry up and spray out some more water, or I'll deduct your wages!"

The foreman in the distance suddenly shouted to Aqua.

"Yes, foreman!"

Aqua's expression froze, and she didn't bother to think about the familiar name, and quickly put her hand back into the mud.

A large amount of water suddenly emerged and flowed along the ditches that had been dug long ago, continuously flowing towards the surrounding construction sites.

Looking at this free water source, the foreman nodded with satisfaction.

"Since Aqua came, we no longer have to hire people to fetch water, which saves us a penny in labor costs."

Then, the foreman's eyes fixed, and he continued to shout to the other side: "Hey! Sato boy! If I find you slacking off again, you won't get paid for today!"

"Yes! Foreman!"

The boy named Sato hurriedly worked hard, fearing that his wages for the day would be deducted.

By then, given the character of that crazy goddess, she will definitely not help me!

"Damn it, if I had known this goddess was so useless, I should have taken down the artifact. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here carrying bricks to make money!"

The young man muttered unwillingly.

In the following days, Asuna took on the most difficult subjugation missions in the guild, and traveled in and out of the city with Chris and Darkness.

It only took two or three days to quickly pay off the guild's debt.

As for Darkness, because she was always on high-difficulty subjugation missions, she had to change her armor and heavy sword almost every day.

So much so that later on, she just wore leather armor into battle.

There's no way, full body armor like that is just too expensive!

Sometimes, they would just receive their wages and spend all the money on buying a set of armor for Darkness, almost going beyond their means!

But fortunately, because of defeating a large number of high-level monsters, Darkness's level increased rapidly, and her "hardness" and resistance became higher day by day. Later, she could even use her physical body to withstand the attacks of those monsters!

At this point, they finally got out of the embarrassing situation of spending more than they earned.

However, because of these frequent high-intensity missions, Chris and Darkness couldn't stand it anymore, and asked Asuna to expand the size of the team and recruit more tools.

At that time, you will take turns to follow Asuna out to fight and level up.

And Asuna also saw that they really couldn't stand it anymore, so she touched her nose and came to the guild awkwardly, ready to see if there were any suitable newcomers who could join their team.

Chapter 23: Recruitment Information for Heroes

Because Asuna and her friends had completed the difficult tasks that the guild had accumulated over the years during these days, when Asuna appeared in the guild, the adventurers who were drinking at the bar nearby all cast curious glances at her.

Maybe he was curious about what mission Asuna would complete today.

Asuna ignored those curious looks.

"Good morning, Miss Asuna." Luna greeted Asuna with a bright smile as usual.

"Good morning, Luna." Asuna responded with a smile.

"What task do you want to complete today?" Luna asked curiously.

"Ah, no." Asuna scratched her cheek lightly with her index finger, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Oh~" Luna let out a long, thoughtful sound, then asked with a slight smile:

“Ms. Chris and Miss Darkness, have you finally gotten fed up with Miss Asuna’s daily high-intensity subjugation routine?”

As the guild member who entertained them every time, Luna knew better than anyone how difficult the subjugation missions that Asuna took from her were.

No matter how difficult the task was, Asuna could complete it within two days, and then continue to the next task as if tirelessly.

And every time, Chris and Darkness were dragged back by Asuna. They were obviously extremely tired and fell asleep directly after completing the task.

Luna was also very curious about when Asuna would recruit new teammates and let Chris and Darkness go.

Look, Chris and Darkness finally couldn't help complaining.

Otherwise, Asuna wouldn't be the only one coming today.

"Well, although they are a little tired these days, their strength has improved quite quickly, hasn't it?"

Asuna turned her face away, as if looking at something interesting, and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"The bulletin board for recruiting teammates is over there, Miss Asuna, you can go and take a look." Luna chuckled, and without exposing Asuna's embarrassment, she pointed to the bulletin board on the side and said to Asuna.

"Well, I'll go check it out first, Luna."

"Okay~"

After saying goodbye to the team, Asuna came to the place Luna pointed with ease.

As for the configuration of your own team members, professions such as vanguards and warriors no longer need to be recruited.

Darkness is the vanguard.

Because these days, she has to face a life-and-death crisis almost every day, and even her masochistic sexual tendencies have been suppressed. In any case, she hasn't been seen enjoying the attacks these days.

Instead, he tried his best to resist the monster's attacks and prevent himself from getting hurt.

Moreover, she has gradually grown in protecting her teammates.

As expected, liking to be beaten is indeed caused by the lack of a strong enough death crisis.

Therefore, adventurers like knights don’t need to consider it at all.

The main attacking force is naturally Asuna, there is no doubt about that, so their team does not lack physical output at all, but instead has a supporting profession and a magician.

As for auxiliary professions, Chris can take on that role occasionally, but her main profession is still a thief. Tasks like investigation, tracking, setting traps, etc. still require her to do that. It is impossible for her to always take turns as an auxiliary and a thief.

If there is a suitable candidate, Asuna will also invite an adventurer of a support profession to join their team.

As for the magician?

Asuna did not have high hopes for the magicians in the Novice Village.

After all, for the magicians in the Novice Village, it is good enough to cast a few spells during battle. Hitting the enemy is really a luxury.

If it is a pure newcomer, he has to be trained from scratch.

What Asuna needs is a mature magician who won't hold her back.
