My system comes with a chat group?

[Yakumo: Thank you, but it's not necessary. I have saved a little money. And, as Xin Meier said, it's a good way to move forward while accepting commissions.]

[Yakumo: And maybe we can explore places like mazes and try treasure hunting?]

Originally, everyone wanted to see if they could get commissions outside the capital, but this place is much more peaceful than other places. Most of the commissions are daily tasks that take a lot of time, such as cleaning sewers.

This was indeed not suitable for the brave team that had already started their journey. Therefore, on the first day of their journey, everyone chose to... camp in the wilderness!

"I didn't expect to experience the wild fun of camping on the first day." Xin Meier came over with a bundle of firewood: "Haita, do you remember when we went camping as kids? At that time, it seemed like you were just messing around and making things more chaotic."

"Is there such a thing? I don't remember it, hahaha." Haita laughed again and tried to cover up the matter.

"Then the question is, what is our dinner?" Yakumo saw that Fulilian had already lit the firewood with fire magic, and Aize had already set up the pot. So, what is the most important ingredient?

"Uh..." Not only Haita, Xin Meier also froze. That's right, they didn't think about the ingredients at all, and just came out like that. So what's for dinner? Not just dinner, but also what's for breakfast tomorrow?

"Is this team really okay..." Fulilian began to doubt whether she had made the right choice. The first problem the brave team faced after setting out was not the vicious enemy, nor the difficult road.

Is it because there is no food that there is no dinner? !

"There's a river nearby, you can try fishing." Finally, it was the reliable Aize who made a suggestion: "I'm good at fishing. If we catch a few fish, we should all have a good meal."

The most common thing in wilderness survival, which can be done as long as the conditions permit, is probably fishing. Aize seems to be a good fisherman. Although there is no ready-made fishing rod at hand, he can do it directly.

Even if there is only one tree

Then he took out a rope from somewhere on his body and bent the needle with his bare hands. Then he made a quick fishing rod.

"Everyone take one. Fulilian, could you please put these in your box later?" Aize asked.

"Of course you can, but it might be difficult to find it after you put it in there. What about Yakumo? There should be special magic to deal with it, right?" Frillian looked at Yakumo again.

"Yeah, I do have one." Yakumo took the fishing rod and put it in his backpack. The fishing rod was actually in the equipment column, so it couldn't be stacked. Maybe it was because it was made by Aize, so it was judged as a weapon.

The group left Fulilian to watch the fire while the four men went to a nearby river to fish.

[Yakumo: Can such a simple fishing rod really catch fish? Picture.jpg]

[Shu: Eh? Are you going to fish for bighead carp? How about I provide you with some bait and bait materials? ]

When it comes to fishing, Shu seems to get very excited.

[Yakumo: Fish bait is autumn pear paste! If I don’t put anything else in here, I’m really afraid that I won’t catch a single fish until dark.]

Yakumo has never fished before, so without bait, he will definitely come up empty-handed today.

Don’t be fooled by those fishermen who always say they will never catch nothing. The problem is that fishermen can catch anything except fish!

Sure enough, the four of them sat there for half an hour without a single fish. Yakumo used the bait given by Shu and caught two fish that looked silly. After another ten minutes, Aize finally had some harvest.

"Hmm... I didn't expect that there is someone who is better at fishing than me." Aize was actually surprised.

Chapter 17: First Night

"Simmier and Haita have no harvest, so you will be punished to wash the dishes after dinner today." The basket in Yakumo's hand contained everyone's dinner today - five fish. Not Gojo Satoru, but five fish.

Two of them were caught by Yakumo, and the remaining three were caught by Aize. It seems that Aize's saying that he is good at fishing is not nonsense. Yakumo took the bait given by Shu, but no fish was caught.

【Shu: Because Yakumo-chan's heart hasn't completely calmed down. However, it's normal for a young child. A lively and active child like Nian is not good at fishing for scales.】

[Shu: If you want to catch big scale fish, the first step is to calm yourself down and avoid unnecessary shock. ]

[Yakumo: The state of calmness is too far away for me. I will try meditation later. Laughing and crying.jpg]

Yakumo's magic training is a latecomer, but Fulilian can actually achieve the calm state that Shu mentioned. Aize is good at fishing, and probably because he is a warrior, he has strong self-control.

On the contrary, Yakumo, in the original society, the impetuous and hurried habits are not so easy to change. Not only Shu, but Aize also saw Yakumo's problem, and said "I'm not that hungry for the time being" when fishing.

What an awkward way of expressing it.

"Although I have to wash the dishes after dinner, it doesn't seem so difficult when I can eat such delicious food in the wild." Xin Meir drank a bowl of fish soup, which contained tofu that Shu sent over.

I don’t know if Shu treated him as a junior in the family. Whenever he had time, he would send a lot of food over, for fear that Yakumo would not have enough to eat.

There is a kind of hunger called grandma thinks you are hungry.

The bread that goes with the fish soup is still dry and hard. But it is just dry and hard, not to the point of being hard to swallow. It is just that after being stored for two days, the taste of the dried bread is really not very good, so it still needs to be eaten with soup.

"Next time if we are short of money for the trip, we can just put Haita in the construction site to earn money... Haita, stop being picky!" Yakumo pointed his spoon at Haita and scolded him loudly. Haita is such a grown man, but he is still picky about food!

Haita seemed to dislike vegetables. In fact, Yakumo didn't put any green vegetables in the fish soup, only a few small green vegetables. But even so, Haita still wanted to pick out the green vegetables and put them in Xinmei's bowl.

"Ahahaha, I just want Xinmeier to eat more. He is still too thin for a hero." Haita laughed and tried to get away with it. But under Yakumo's gaze, he still stood up.

"Understood, let's prepare a vegetarian meal tomorrow." Yakumo nodded. After tonight's meal, everyone recognized Yakumo's cooking ability and unanimously decided to let Yakumo handle the meals outdoors in the future.

If Yakumo said that we would make a completely vegetarian banquet, then there really wouldn't be a trace of meat to be seen!

"Can clergy also be picky about food?" Yakumo found it incredible: "I thought that devout believers were all perfect saints. It seems that when we first came out, Haita mentioned that there was not enough money to buy wine."

"After all, he is a wine-drinking monk." Aize also came out to finish off the enemy.

"It's the wine-drinking monk. Haita, do you still remember the travel expenses we earned before?" Xinmei ate the vegetables thrown by Haita while making the finishing move with a slightly sly smile.

"Hahaha, what are you talking about? Didn't we use up all the travel expenses when we got here?" Haita was still laughing and trying to put the vegetables in Xinmei's bowl.

"What kind of brave team is this..." Yakumo sighed. He didn't watch much of this show, and he didn't read the original manga at all. This team basically only appeared in Fulilian's memories, and the image of them in Yakumo's story was not perfect.

And

In the previous animation, Haita was an old man, and his performance was quite consistent with the image of a respected priest. But who would have thought that Haita was like this when he was young?

"Although a simple saint is perfect, he is too high-minded, Yakumo." Xin Meier put down the bowl in his hand: "Although we have the belief to defeat the devil, we are just ordinary people working towards this goal."

"We are all ordinary people, so we can gather together like this, right?" Xin Meier said, lowering the bowl: "Please give me another bowl."

Yakumo, who was originally shocked that Xin Meier could say such a philosophical word, suddenly felt that Xin Meier had fallen from the clouds again. He took the bowl and filled it for Xin Meier.

"Want more bread?"

"Oh! There's still bread? Give me another one!"

"Phew, thanks to Yakumo's cooking skills, I feel like we don't have to worry about going hungry on the rest of the journey." After dinner, Xinmeier and Haita went to wash the dishes obediently.

"I feel like we might have a hard time on this journey." Yakumo sighed, "If we can't find a village in two more days, we might have to explore a dungeon or a maze."

"Are you going to look for a maze?!" Xin Meier, who had gone to wash the dishes, came back again: "Maybe there's a dormant treasure chest there!"

"Treasure chest?!" Fulilian, who had not participated in the discussion, couldn't help but speak up. She was just sitting next to him reading a book: "Let's go find the maze. There should be a lot of magic books in it!"

"Xinmei! Your dishes are not washed yet, come back to me!" Haita, who was washing dishes by the river, shouted loudly, and the scene became a little chaotic for a while.

"That's a maze, Haita! There are countless mysteries waiting for us to explore. And there happens to be a maze nearby that has not been fully explored. Aren't you curious?" Xinmei asked happily.

"I think that's just a waste of time." Aize stroked his beard: "Our goal is to defeat the Demon King, right? Going to the maze doesn't seem to be on the way."

"Aize, this is a necessary detour for our travel expenses!" Xin Meier said solemnly. If you don't know, you might think Xin Meier is talking about something important that will determine your life.

"I agree to go to the maze." Fulilian raised her hand.

"If it's for travel expenses, I have no objection." Haita had washed all the dishes and came back. Although he complained to Xinmeier, Haita still honestly completed all the cleaning work.

"I don't care. No matter where I am, I will continue to study magic." Yakumo himself didn't care. With the game system, his situation was very close to that of the immortal medicine of Penglai.

One thing that makes it better than Penglai medicine is that it can still become stronger and the body will not be completely solidified.

"There's really no other way, let's go." Aize, who had originally expressed his objection, did not insist on opposing going to the maze. After just a few words, he agreed to explore the maze.

Chapter 18 Reasons for Traveling - Part 1

There were tents and sleeping bags for rest at night. Yakumo asked Eriri to help buy the sleeping bags. Most of the camping equipment in modern society is still quite reliable. Xin Meier and his friends obviously have never seen such props.

"But this one is a little long for me." Aize stroked his beard and looked at the sleeping bag in front of him. This was the shortest one that could be bought because there were no children's sleeping bags.

As for how to buy a sleeping bag in a short time, it was actually very simple for Ying Lili. She opened a chat group to go to the mall, and then came out of the toilet to buy it and then found a corner with few people to open a chat group to upload it. Time stop is really useful.jpg

This is also a new use of the chat group that Eriri discovered, although it is not certain how long it will last. It is to open the time stop effect of the chat group. Eriri can choose to stop the time of all beings except herself, or she can choose to stop the movement of time only.

"Maybe the person who made this didn't consider the dwarves." Yakumo explained with a smile. After Azer zipped up the sleeping bag, the bottom of the sleeping bag was indeed deflated.

"And it's very restrictive, which makes it inconvenient to deal with at night. But it's very good as a quilt to keep warm." Aize tried it and got out of the sleeping bag.

"If there are no monsters in the wild, this might be welcomed by many people." Aize touched the weapon beside him, a double-edged axe that was as tall as him: "But for me, timely response is more important."

"I didn't think it through." Yakumo realized that he had taken it for granted. This was a world full of monsters and demons. If he was attacked at night, would he need to break free of his sleeping bag to fight?

During this period, the entire team might have been wiped out.

"No, this is not Yakumo's fault. We did not explain it to you." Xin Meier stepped forward and said, "We are experienced in traveling, and we should have explained it to you in advance."

"But thank you so much for thinking so much about us." Xin Meir still had a trustworthy smile on his face.

"Let's arrange the order of the night watch next." Haita was already a little sleepy.

"I'll guard the first half of the night." Aize took the initiative to take on the task of guarding the first half of the night: "If there is any situation, I will sound the alarm."

"Then I'll guard the second half of the night." Xin Meier took on the most difficult task: "My sleep quality is relatively good, so it won't be a problem if I only sleep in the first half of the night.

"

"Then I'll leave the first half of the night to you, Aize." Haita said hello and prepared to go into the tent.

"Oh, by the way, Fulilian, you are not allowed to stay up late to read magic books at night. Go to sleep well and don't lie in bed tomorrow morning!" Yakumo suddenly remembered this. Fulilian especially liked to lie in bed in the morning and often slept until noon.

"Gurgle..." A sad expression indeed appeared on Fulilian's face. It was obvious that Yakumo's words had touched her sore spot.

"If you dare to stay in bed, I'll put onions next to your face!" Yakumo didn't want to take any risks, so he spent the first morning calling for Frillian to get up.

"So Frillian is afraid of onions?" Xin Meir looked at Frillian with interest, wondering what he was thinking.

"No..." Fulilian begged for mercy, while stuffing the magic book into the box unhappily. She had originally planned to read the magic book until 4 o'clock, but now it was probably too late.

"I should have said I would guard the first half of the night." Fulilian muttered again.

"You stay up for the first half of the night, but you'll still be in bed tomorrow morning." Yakumo said unhappily, "I'll stay up with Aize for the first half of the night. I don't need much sleep."

This may also be a secondary effect brought by the game system. As long as he has slept, no matter how long he sleeps, he will not feel mentally exhausted. And as the intelligence points increase, the effect becomes more and more obvious.

Maybe it's because my mental strength has become stronger, so I don't feel sleepy anymore. But what about Fulilian?

"Actually, you don't have to keep watch with me. It won't be boring to keep watch alone." Sitting cross-legged beside the fire that occasionally crackled with sparks, Aize said this to Yakumo.

"I just want to buy more time to learn magic. Compared to Fulilian and Haita, I am just a novice magician who has just started. I can't even guarantee that we can fight together in the future journey."

"Since we are traveling together, I don't want to hold you back. Besides, both meditation and study will be of great benefit to me." Yakumo did not lie.

The system is still the same, and the skills have not changed much. But as his abilities improve, Yakumo still finds some differences. For example, with skills like the Fire Arrow, the speed of the arrows shot out is increasing, and the speed of shooting arrows is also getting faster.

This reminded Yakumo of some technical changes in private servers. It seems that there have indeed been such changes, with faster casting speed in exchange for increased attack frequency. So it’s not that there are no technical changes, but that we have to continue to develop it ourselves?

"Is that so? Actually, I think you are a very amazing person." Aize lowered his head and suddenly said, "Flillian only embarked on the journey with us because of Xinmei's persuasion. Xinmei believes in her power."

"But you seemed to have believed in us from the beginning and joined us without any persuasion. Xinmeier is not famous, and if it is just because of the Southern Hero, you have already conveyed it."

"So I don't really understand you. I'm a warrior, and I'm very straightforward most of the time, so I won't hide my thoughts."

"Why join..." Yakumo didn't actually think too much about it. He just thought that he would join the protagonist team, and Xinmeier also invited him.

"Maybe it's because, with you guys, I'll have an unforgettable journey." Yakumo concluded. If this team only focused on efficiency, everything was focused on defeating the Demon King, and nothing else mattered, Yakumo would not join.

However, everyone in this team is a very good person. Although they described this trip as full of lousy memories that are unforgettable, it certainly cannot be really "terrible".

This is much better than staying in one place alone and studying magic. After all, he is not the kind of person who can stay in one place for a long time.

"An unforgettable journey? Humph, this might really be what Xin Meier is willing to pursue." Aize lowered his eyes, as if he was taking a nap: "But this is not bad either."

"Aize...your beard is hanging down into the flame and it's about to burn." Yakumo couldn't help but warn him.

Chapter 19: Labyrinth

"Well, I really lost my composure..." Aize put his beard back. However, after being placed on the flame for a while, Aize's beard did not burn. What on earth is Aize's beard made of? !

After chatting with Aize for a while, Yakumo continued to study magic. As for the magic that grew a flower field, Yakumo was trying the flowers of various crops to see how many of them would work.

Yakumo wanted to try everything from rice flowers to rape flowers to peach flowers. These were all flowers that could produce fruit, but in order to produce fruit, most crops needed pollen to spread.

Yakumo couldn't say whether the flowers grown by magic had male and female differences, so he could only experiment one by one.

"Yakumo." Aize, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Is there anything you want to do on this journey? Or, do you have any purpose?"

Yakumo put down the book and looked at Aize in astonishment, trying to make sure if Aize was talking to him. Aize seemed to be talking a lot tonight, but he was rarely seen talking at other times.

"Why do you ask? Wasn't our original goal to defeat the Demon King?" Yakumo put down the magic book and asked curiously, "Defeat the Demon King and save the world, isn't this our team's common goal?
