Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 495 This punch breaks through the Heavenly Origin!

Humans are creatures that crave comfort and enjoyment.

No, that's not quite accurate. It should be said that this is the pursuit and desire of all living things, and humans are no exception.

Whether it's work or battle, if it weren't for survival, who would tolerate a boss born from the self-breeding of sewer maggots, risk their life to hunt dangerous monsters, or go to the front lines to fight the Demon King's army?

If you're willing to give up and not strive for promotion, and only want the most basic survival, many troubles will be easily solved.

Axel is the answer to this choice.

Belonging to the Kingdom of Belzegu, Axel is a remote border town far from the front lines where the Demon King's army and the kingdom's army clash. Prices are relatively low, and the surrounding monsters are not too high-level. Axel is the starting point for most novice adventurers and a holy land for those who prefer to stay put.

Humans, orcs, elves... all sorts of creatures gather here. Apart from ordinary residents and occasional tourists, most of the people here are adventurers and the crowds that serve them.

They might be novice adventurers fresh out of school with a heart full of passion, seasoned adventurers who have struggled for years but are still frustrated, or seasoned adventurers who have seen through the truth and given up resistance, seemingly strong by life.

Based on Luke's experience, these three are likely to represent different stages in the lives of ordinary adventurers.

Born into an ordinary family, one can only choose an ordinary profession. Initially, one dreams of defeating the Demon King's army and strives for it, only to find oneself relegated to construction sites, where one's moral compass is shattered, and eventually, one becomes numb to the monotony of daily work...

Instead of doing that, wouldn't it be faster to just lie flat from the start and fast-forward to the current version's answer?!
With this in mind, Lu Ke joined the "lying down" group at a young age, becoming the youngest outstanding youth in the gathering place of useless people.

He is neither arrogant nor impatient, and always calm and composed. He can nod and smile in the face of all kinds of unexpected events. Even the leader of the "lying flat" tribe, the Lich Wiz, a cadre of the Demon King's army, often says that he has an excellent mentality.

"Warm two glasses of bubble wine and a plate of fried frog legs."

As usual, Luke walked into the Adventurers' Guild and sat down at the second-to-last table by the window. He reclined leisurely in his chair and took out a sufficient amount of "Eris" and placed it on the table.

The Kingdom of Belzegu mainly has two sects: the Eris Cult, which worships the goddess of fortune, Eris, and the Axis Cult, which worships the goddess of water, Aqua.

According to legend, the goddess of water, Aqua, is the predecessor of the goddess of luck, Eris, and her origins are also earlier, but "luck" is more favored by people than "water".

Furthermore, the followers of the Axis religion were all eccentric individuals with abnormal thought processes, while the followers of the Eris religion were generally gentle and kind. Undoubtedly, the Eris religion became the state religion of the Belzegu Kingdom, and its currency was named "Eris".

"Understood, I'll prepare it for you right away."

The pretty waitress smiled as she noted down the dishes and left. As her miniskirt swayed, a glimpse of her soft, white skin was revealed, making everyone who saw her stand up in awe... in awe.

thanks for treatment.

Luke lazily squinted as he waited for the food to be served, while his fellow adventurers laughed and egged him on.

"Lu Ke, you've done something wrong again!"

"What wrongdoing? I, Lu Ke, am a well-known good person who does good deeds anonymously."

"You must have sent the new adventurers to the construction site to be slaves again!"

Lu Ke's eyes widened: "How can you slander someone's innocence like this?"

"What innocence? I saw you pretending to be kind and helping two newcomers pay their registration fees to get close to them the other day, and then you turned around and sold that adventurer and the high priest to the construction site as slaves. I bet you directly embezzled 50% of their wages!"

Luke's face flushed red as he argued, "Can introducing jobs be considered selling slaves...? Can job introducing... can intermediaries be considered selling slaves?"

Next came the difficult-to-understand language, such as "Talent Employment Center," "Recent graduates are required to have three years of work experience," and "3,000 yuan for four weeks with no weekends off."

This caused the other adventurers to burst into laughter, filling the shop with a joyful atmosphere.

Newly minted adventurers are penniless, have low levels, and lack equipment, so they can't complete raiding missions. They can only find limited jobs to barely make ends meet, and can't even afford to stay in an inn. Most of them spend their days in the stables.

Luke's job is to be a kind-hearted person, sending novice adventurers who need work to construction sites to do mortar work, and to be an upright, brave, kind, and dedicated civil engineer who contributes to the construction of infrastructure.

Truly adding bricks and tiles!
It's something that's very meaningful no matter how you look at it!

Luke closed his eyes, placed his hands behind his head, leaned back in his chair to lower his center of gravity, braced his thighs against the table, and swayed leisurely, enjoying the warmth coming through the window in this rhythm.

The sunshine is lovely, the air is fresh, it's so good to be alive!
In the afternoon, you can go fishing by the river. Prepare your fishing rod and bait, set up a small stool by the river, open an umbrella, put in the bait to create a feeding area, and then cast your fishing rod... only to come up empty-handed.

After a while, a sweet female voice rang out.

"Your dishes are all served."

"Thank you."

Luke opened his eyes and found that the person delivering the food was not the familiar waitress, but Luna, who had long, blonde hair tied up and a gentle, sweet appearance.

She is the receptionist of the Adventurers' Guild. She is responsible for registering new players, issuing and accepting quests, and most adventurers are most familiar with her besides their teammates.

"Hey, Luna, you're not so busy right now that you need to help serve the food, are you?"

"No, I just wanted to have a proper chat with you." Luna pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down, looking at Luke with a scrutinizing gaze and a serious tone.

“Mr. Luke, it has been three years since I took you in as an adventurer.”

Although she always acts very gentle as a receptionist for the Adventurers' Guild, such a person can be quite frightening when she gets serious.

Lu Ke scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile: "Has it taken that long?"

"Yes, you were the first adventurer I received after I arrived here, so I have a deep impression of you. For the past three years, your level has remained at the very beginning, level 1..."

Luna sighed, "Your intelligence stats are quite good, and even if you can't become a high-level professional, you'll still have a bright future... Why are you so reluctant to find a stable job?"

Is my job unstable?

Lu Ke stroked his chin. Novice adventurers would keep coming in, and the damage that monsters did to houses and city walls would provide enough work for the black slaves in the civil engineering field. Where was the instability?
This is like a perpetual motion machine, working with uninterrupted stability!

Luna's forehead veins throbbed twice: "Are you really going to treat this kind of shady work as a career? Yesterday's two newcomers, well, that's one thing, but that High Priest is a high-ranking profession, a promising adventurer. Your behavior has crossed the line!"

Advanced professionals are invaluable fighting forces against the Demon King's army, and are indeed highly anticipated by the Adventurers' Guild. Moreover, Lu Ke also knows that the two he's tricked are very special...

There's no other way but to use the version of the fist technique that's been tested throughout the entire universe!
Lu Ke's lips curled down in a heartbroken smile. He raised his hand to wipe away non-existent tears, his eyes filled with accusation, his voice sorrowful:

"That's going too far, Miss Luna! You've never been in this industry before, and you don't understand it at all, yet you're making such arbitrary statements... Are you the kind of person who discriminates against different types of jobs?"

One punch!
Luna, who was furious, paused for a moment: "Huh?" "Do you think that jobs are divided into different classes, with high and low status, and that doing some undignified work makes you a lower-class person? Do you think that a hardworking sanitation worker is inferior to you sitting at the Adventurers' Guild reception desk?"

Two punches!

Luna quickly waved her hand: "No, I never thought that way..."

Luke interrupted Luna, pressing his advantage and relentlessly pressing her: "Competing with those greedy foremen on the construction site to earn higher wages is hard work too, you have no idea..."

His chest resonated, and he let out a deafening shout: "For ordinary adventurers like us, just surviving is hard enough!"

Three punches!

I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, I forgot the end, but anyway, just remember to feel shivering and cold.

"Huh? This... I..."

Faced with a fist technique capable of breaking through the Heavenly Yuan realm, Luna was clearly startled. Seeing the many gazes drawn by Lu Ke's increased volume, her face flushed red, and she hurriedly stood up, bowing and apologizing.
"I'm sorry, I've just heard that you take half of my salary, so I... This must be a rumor, right? It wouldn't be that outrageous."

Lu Ke was held in place by the massive thunderbolt for a few seconds, and casually replied:
"Of course it's a rumor. Seventy percent is mine, thirty percent is the foreman's, and the tiny bit under his fingernail is the adventurer's..."

Lu Ke paused slightly, a polite but awkward smile appearing on his face: "Uh... actually I was just joking, you don't believe me, do you?"

Luna: "..."

No wonder novice adventurers can only live in stables and barely fill their stomachs!

She looked at Lu Ke with an expression of utter contempt, took a deep breath, and abruptly stood up:

"Mr. Luke, in light of your actions in harming the High Priest, I regret to inform you that this kind of thing will not happen again, and your career as a shady broker will end today."

"It's no use, Luna. This industry has always existed. I just happened to become one of the many. You can't stop the historical process of the entire industry moving forward."

Luke, realizing what was happening, shook his head dismissively, remaining calm in the face of Luna's statement.

"Who said I'm going to stop this industry?"

Luna raised her hand and flicked a strand of hair, glancing at Luke almost imperceptibly, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"The only person I want to stop is Mr. Luke. As the first adventurer I received, he cannot be a stain on my work record. If you ever cheat a novice adventurer again, I will immediately notify the guards to arrest you."

Luke: "...You, are you kidding me?"

"From now on, please strive to become a qualified and excellent adventurer. I will always be watching over you!"

Luna smiled subtly, raised her hand in a thumbs-up gesture, and gracefully turned to leave, returning to her work at the reception desk.

Luke's lips twitched a few times, and he gave Luna the middle finger as she walked away.

Just then, two figures walked into the Adventurers' Guild and rushed to sit down in front of Luke, pouncing on the dishes on the table like vicious dogs pouncing on excrement.

The two figures were male and female. The male was a boy around sixteen years old, wearing a white t-shirt on his upper body and a pair of sweatpants that were out of step with the times. The female was a girl who looked a little older, with a pretty face, but always exuded a kind of innocent naivety.

The two men got into a fight over the food, using dirty tricks such as sticking their noses out, poking their belly buttons, and pulling their faces. The fight was fierce and evenly matched.

"Damn it, you shut-in NEET, you dare to steal my food! You'll be punished by the heavens! When I get back, I'll bring you the most severe divine punishment!"

"Shut up, you completely useless goddess! I must have been incredibly unlucky to have chosen you as my cheat code. I should have just picked a more powerful one!"

"You dare say the great water goddess Aqua is useless! I... uh... I can beat dust three times faster than you!"

"Damn! Is the thing a goddess can boast about is how fast she can dust herself?"

Luke, watching from the side, was exasperated. He ordered another dish, which finally separated the two tearing things and revealed two pairs of watery eyes.

"Thank you, Luke. In this cold and ruthless other world, you're the only one I can trust!"

"As expected of Lu Ke! I will definitely protect you when I return to the God Realm!"

The two are the protagonists of this world: Kazuma Sato, a Japanese shut-in boy, and Aqua, the goddess of water, who is worshipped by the Axis religion of the Belzer Kingdom.

The reason we are here is due to an accident that happened more than a month ago.

Kazuma Sato, a Japanese shut-in, saw a little girl about to be hit by a tractor while shopping. He was overcome with patriotism and stepped forward to help, but died halfway through the journey.

The tractor was moving very slowly, and the little girl would not have been hit at all. Instead, she was slightly injured because of him. Kazuma Sato himself was not killed by the tractor, but he was scared to death out of fear.

His death was so hilarious that the doctors, nurses, and even his parents burst into laughter, making it a truly comical way to die.

However, since he died saving someone, his courage was commendable. Therefore, under the guidance of Aqua, the water goddess in charge of the Japanese reincarnation office, he was reincarnated into this world and given the opportunity to choose a cheat.

Originally, it would have been just a typical overpowered protagonist story, but Aqua, who wasn't very bright, had no patience and kept mocking and provoking Kazuma while he was choosing a power-up, to the point that the boy, unable to bear it any longer, directly identified the goddess as the power-up.

The goddess of water was taken down by Shui Lingling and was required to defeat the demon king before she could return to the realm of gods.

Later, the theoretically useless girl and the naive and mentally challenged goddess arrived at the guild in complete ignorance. With the help of the "kind-hearted" Luke, they completed their registration and were sent to the construction site, becoming proud civil engineers.

Because Lu Ke used the guise of being a fellow "reincarnated person" to get close to him, he was easily fooled.

Incidentally, the two adapted quite well and were very efficient at removing ash.

Especially Aqua, who was originally a goddess, has a very good physique because all her basic stats except for intelligence and luck are full, making her much stronger than the NEETs who stay at home.

Facing the two who were devouring their food, the former "slave owner" lowered his head in thought, and suddenly spoke up just as they were finishing:
"Kazuma, Aqua, how have you been lately?"

Kazuma Sato swallowed the tender frog meat in his mouth: "It's alright. I'm gradually getting used to life on the construction site. I'm familiar with things like laying bricks, mixing cement, and applying putty."

Aqua proudly put her hands on her hips and raised her chin, "This goddess is much stronger than Kazuma. Even the foreman praised me for having a natural body that can break ashes, making me the most suitable person for this line of work!"

"So you two plan to work on construction sites for the rest of your lives?"

Clang, clang!
The reincarnated man and the mentally challenged goddess both froze, dropping their utensils to the ground.
