Chapter 191 Exchange Space
"just."

"Did time stop?"

Natsuki Subaru and Kazuma looked at each other and raised their right hands at the same time.

On the back of their right hands, a pattern identical to the clock that had just appeared was faintly jumping.

“Oh, I see.” Kazuma suddenly jumped up. “Maybe this is something like the [Extremely Powerful Skill] that the gods gave us because they saw that I chose Aqua, the useless goddess, and gave up her powerful ability.”

"Nani Nani?" Although she didn't understand the situation, Aqua looked up suddenly when she suddenly heard her own name. After a while, she realized that Kazuma seemed to be scolding her, and she pulled Kazuma's collar and started crying.

"Is that so?" Natsuki Subaru, who was half-believing and half-doubting Kazuma's explanation, raised his right hand and glanced at the watch face that was still moving slowly. In the end, he had no choice but to believe it.

After all, the light novels of the previous life's reincarnation in another world genre seemed to follow the same routine that Kazuma just mentioned, with unreliable gods making mistakes and then compensating for them, but now the two of them didn't know how to use this compensation.

As an otaku, Natsuki Subaru regarded the routines of light novels as the truth, so he didn't think about it anymore and let it go.

"So, what should we do now?" Natsuki Subaru looked around the quiet guild.

It is just past noon now. All the adventurers have accepted their missions and have not returned yet. Only a few scattered adventurers are eating lunch in the guild and chatting about intelligence with each other.

“Is that even a question?” Kazuma snapped his fingers. “You play role-playing games. What’s the first thing you do when you arrive at the guild?”

"Of course it's to collect information!" Natsuki Subaru pointed to the sky with one hand and stuck his butt out, making a very disgusting but unique posture.

"That's right! You're quite capable." Kazuma crossed his arms and nodded in satisfaction: "I recognize you."

"Go to the guild first to gather information. This is a common practice in role-playing games."

Seeing the two talking, Aqua was a little bit unbelievable: "He is obviously just a game geek, how can he be so reliable."

"Don't look down on game geeks!" Natsuki Subaru decided to speak up for game geeks.

Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru quickly moved out, learning the in-game dialogue and quickly understanding the entire guild's operating system.

To be specific, it is no different from RPG role-playing games. It can be divided into three parts: [Adventurer Registration], [Accepting Quests], and [Rest and Order Food].

But soon, the three encountered the biggest problem of their journey to another world - no money.

After asking, I learned that the [Adventurer Registration] here requires a handling fee.

In similar RPG games, the protagonist either does not need to pay any handling fees, or brings his own currency when he leaves the novice village.

But now the three of them are penniless.

Wait, it doesn’t seem like we are completely poor.

"Can this be sold?" Natsuki Subaru seemed to have thought of something and lifted up the plastic bag he had been holding since he was summoned. It was full of things from the convenience store.

Then he took out his flip phone and placed it on the table along with the convenience store bag.

"Hey, this is your cell phone. Is it really okay?" Kazuma asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. I can't go back now anyway." Natsuki Subaru said this with a hint of imperceptible sadness, which was soon smoothed out: "Anyway, there is no signal here, and it can't be charged. It will soon be a waste product. It's better to sell it quickly in exchange for start-up capital."

Since the real boss said so, the few of them did not delay any longer and went to the counter of the Adventurer's Guild to inquire.

Soon a Chamber of Commerce boss came upon hearing the news and bought Natsuki Subaru's mobile phone with great interest. He said that although he couldn't understand the principle, it could serve as inspiration for the research of some magical devices, so he offered a considerable price.

As for the things in the convenience store, they were kept as emergency food after the money was gone.

"Yoshi! I got the handling fee!"

The three of them came to the counter and handed a few gold coins to the counter lady who had a very subtle expression.

"Well, let me explain it again." The receptionist with blonde hair and a one-shoulder dress turned around with three ID cards in her hand and said to the three people, "Adventurers have various professions, and this is a registration card."

"It records how many times the adventurer has conquered. When the level increases, points will be awarded for learning. Please work hard to increase the level."

"Oh!" Natsuki Subaru was a little excited: "Isn't this the same as the panel in the game?"

"Huh?" The lady at the counter tilted her head in confusion.

Aqua and Kazuma moved slightly away from Natsuki Subaru, as if this could help them break away from each other.

".nothing."

"." The lady at the counter was silent for a moment, and brought a magic device with a crystal ball as its core: "Then please put your hands on this crystal."

“Is that so?” Kazuma took the lead and stretched out his hand.

The next moment, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling blue light, and various mechanical devices began to rotate smoothly. A beam of blue light was directed out and began to slide on the registration card like laser engraving.

"This way we can know your attributes." The lady at the counter explained: "Please choose the career you want based on these attributes."

“Here it comes!” Kazuma’s lips curled up.

Here, his hidden amazing abilities will be discovered, which will cause an uproar in the guild.
After a while, the printing was finished, and the lady at the counter picked up Kazuma's registration card and looked at it: "Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

"Is that Mr. Sato Kazuma?"

"Well, they are all very ordinary, except for their higher intelligence. Eh? Their luck is quite high." The counter lady's expression became more subtle: "But, luck is useless to adventurers."

"With such luck, I recommend you to be a merchant."

Aqua on the side couldn't help but sneer.

Kazuma’s mouth twitched. “Hey, your life as an adventurer is being denied right from the start. What’s going on?”

In the end, Kazuma gritted his teeth and chose the basic adventurer, and then kept cursing in his heart that Natsuki Subaru's attributes were as low as his own.

"Well, you can change jobs when your level increases." The lady at the counter kindly reminded.

Then Aqua stepped forward and printed out her registration card.

"Wow!" After seeing Aqua's attributes, the counter lady exclaimed: "Except for her intelligence being below average and her luck being extremely low, her attributes are all far above average."

"What?" Aqua said happily, "Does that mean I'm awesome?"

"I'm calling you a moron." Natsuki Subaru didn't say this out loud because he felt it was a bit too disrespectful.

Several people learned from the lady at the counter that Aqua's attributes are extremely powerful. Except for the magician profession that requires high intelligence, basically any profession can be chosen. Almost all advanced professions can be selected from the beginning.

Finally, with Kazuma's gnashing teeth, Aqua chose the auxiliary profession [High Priest].

Soon, all the guild staff who learned the news gathered together and congratulated Aqua very formally.

As a supporting role, it attracted countless adventurers who were still in the guild, and they all gathered spontaneously to start blessing.

"Oh, to become the high priest all of a sudden, that's really amazing."

"People like you might really be able to defeat the Demon King, little girl who is not afraid of death." Aqua, who was standing in the crowd like a star, waved her hand shyly.

At the edge of the crowd, Subaru Natsuki nudged Kazuma with his elbow and said, "Hey, is there something wrong with the cutscene?"

"Shouldn't this happen to us?"

This sentence was tantamount to another critical blow to Kazuma.

The crowd slowly dispersed, and this time it was Subaru Natsuki's turn to step forward for the test.

Natsuki Subaru placed his hand on the crystal, and as the laser swung, his registration card was quickly printed.

Kazuma, on the other hand, clasped his hands together and began to curse.

"Oh!" The lady at the counter picked up Natsuki Subaru's registration card and looked at it carefully: "Your luck value is also terribly low, but the other values ​​are barely above the average of ordinary people. You can choose professions such as warrior or thief."

“Tsk!” Kazuma whispered.

"But... eh, is there a problem?" The lady at the counter frowned, stretched out her hand to wipe the registration card, and then frowned even deeper.

"What's wrong?" Natsuki Subaru approached.

"This may be a problem with the crystal magic device." The lady at the counter pointed to the skill column on the registration card: "Normally, there should be no skills at the beginning, but why is there a bunch of garbled codes here?"

"Really?" Natsuki Subaru looked in the direction the counter lady pointed, and there was indeed an unclear line of garbled text in his skill column that seemed to be smudged by ink.

"Maybe there's something wrong with the crystal magic device." The lady at the counter let out a long sigh: "It has to be sent for repair again."

"Mr. Natsuki Subaru, although this garbled code does not affect anything, if you mind, I can re-register a new one for you for free after the magic device is repaired."

"No, no, no, it's okay." Natsuki Subaru took the registration card and chose the [Swordsman] profession.

Mainly because you can advance to [Knight] later, which sounds cool.

Only Kazuma collapsed and yelled, "No!"

"This is definitely not right!"

"According to the routine, this is definitely not some garbled code or a broken magic device for detection, but a very rare skill!"

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"

Jealousy separated him from his true essence and he kept rolling on the ground.

Why are they all so strong, but my life as an adventurer is denied right from the start?

Kazuma sat up suddenly, his face gloomy: “It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s this world.”

"That's Kaneki Ken's line, right?" Natsuki Subaru stepped forward and patted Kazuma on the shoulder. "I know exactly what I can do. How could I have a skill that even a magic device can't detect?"

"Indeed." The lady at the counter nodded and said, "This magic device can even detect blessings."

"." Kazuma looked up at everyone and said, "Now that you mention it, it's even more likely!"

"."

Kazuma sighed and pulled himself together.

Anyway, up to now, the adventure story of myself and others has officially begun!

“This is not right!!!”

In the stable outside the city, three people who were sleeping on sackcloth on the hay in the stable suddenly sat up.

More than half a month had passed since they arrived in the other world. During this process, the three of them were either repairing city walls or digging foundations. As for formal expedition missions, they had not received any.

what is this?
From beginner adventurer to master civil engineering?

In his previous life, he would have been an immortal!

"This is not the adventure in another world that I imagined at all!" Kazuma shouted in grief.

"Hey, keep your noise down, next door!" There was a knock on the wall from the stable next door.

"Ah, sorry sorry."

"I think it's not bad." Natsuki Subaru, who was sleeping next to him, said differently: "At least you learned [Stealing], I can [Draw the Sword], and Aqua also learned basic [Healing Magic]. Isn't this very different world?"

During this half month, Subaru Natsuki and his friends used the remaining money from selling their cell phones to find someone to learn some skills. Kazuma, as he has an intellectual specialty, naturally chose to learn magic, but he did not choose elemental skills such as fireball, but chose the thief's [Steal].

“If I had known I wouldn’t be able to steal anything, I wouldn’t have learned it!” Kazuma held his head.

After learning the stealing skill, Kazuma tried it on Subaru Natsuki and Aqua, but he couldn't steal anything. Every time he either failed or stole air. Even the thief who taught Kazuma the stealing skill said that this was a situation he had never seen before.

"Hehe, it would be great if you listened to me and learned some elemental magic." Aqua began to talk behind the scenes.

“And here’s another thing.” Natsuki Subaru extended his right hand towards Kazuma: “This.”

"Ah, I never found out how to use it and almost forgot about it." Seeing Natsuki Subaru's reminder, Kazuma also remembered this matter.

That was the clock-like projection that was triggered by their travel through time. It had been engraved on the backs of their right hands ever since it first appeared and stopped for a moment. Only they themselves could see it, and when they showed it to Aqua, they only got the answer "nothing".

The dial is clearly divided into black and white, and a pointer moves slowly.

At the beginning, the pointer was pointing to the white area. Now, more than half a month has passed, and it is almost reaching the end of the white range and entering the black area.

Judging from the speed, it will most likely be tonight.

Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru both had a premonition that something would happen when the dial turned to black.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon, at exactly midnight, the pointer entered the black area.

The next moment, a huge clock appeared again, and before Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru could react, a huge suction force emanated from it.

"Where is this place?" Kazuma rubbed his head and opened his eyes.

Before my eyes was a vast expanse of empty space that stretched as far as the eye could see, with only myself and Natsuki Subaru.

"You are here." At this moment, a voice sounded in this space.

"Who?"

"I am the ruler of this world, you can call me God." A glowing human figure appeared out of thin air: "Or, you can call me Chu Ke, this is my name."

"This is the gap between the two worlds, and it is also the [Exchange Space] I prepared for you."

"Exchange space?" Natsuki Subaru asked puzzledly.
