Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 787 The Spell Pendant and the New Precognitive Dream
It has been 18 days since I returned from the dungeon expedition. After 18 days of leisurely life in the surface world, well, I did encounter quite a few things during that time.

For example, the Kali Familia, and the two war game events with the Apollo Familia and the Ishtar Familia. Broly finally returned to the life that an adventurer should have, that is, he re-entered the dungeon labyrinth and continued the normal daily life that an adventurer should have - fighting monsters and farming money.

At this moment, Broly's latest stats have reached 18s. Defeating other adventurers of higher level than him seems to have been regarded as a case of fighting monsters above his level by the divine grace he possesses, resulting in a significant increase in his stats.

The members who went down to the dungeon this time, besides Ryu, included Ais, Tiona, Lefia, the White Priestess who was invited by Lefia, Tsubaki who was going to test the performance of the newly forged equipment, and Lily Luca who had some free time and was going to train her strength for Broly.

Of course, in addition to the seven people mentioned above, there were also two girls from the same clan who suddenly ran over when they were preparing to leave in the morning and said they wanted to go with them to see the Deep Zone, as well as the fox girl who was invited by Broly.

. . . .

"Daphne, would you like to come with me to the dungeon labyrinth with Mr. Broly?"

"Ha, Cassandra, are you still half asleep? The guild leader is going to the Deep Zone. Are we two Lv.2 little Karami qualified to go with him?"

"But Miss Lily Luca is only Level 1, doesn't she have to come along too?"

"She is her, and we are us. That little girl is clearly the captain's woman."

"Aren't we the same..."

"No, it's different. She's real, and we're fake."

Living under the same roof, Daphne could sense that Broly's attitude towards the two of them was different from his attitude towards Sword Princess, Lily Luca, and others. The former were close boyfriend and girlfriend relationships, while the latter were just ordinary friends.

"I had another dream..."

When her friend refused, Cassandra got a little anxious and quickly told her about the new dream she had.

"In my new precognitive dream, I dreamt that we, as dolls, were being lifted high by a giant green ape, and we dolls all had happy expressions on our faces. Based on my years of experience interpreting my own precognitive dreams, going down to the dungeon this time is definitely a great thing..."

At the urging of her friend Cassandra, Daphne, who had previously been brought to join the Hestia Familia by a precognitive dream and experienced the wing-sharing skill effect, chose to go with her to find Broly, who was preparing to set off.

She simply mentioned wanting to go to the dungeon together, and her own boy leader readily agreed. The leader made the strange statement, "Whether you herd one sheep or a flock of sheep, it's all the same," and then invited the fox-girl who had just been taken from the Ishtar Familia to his own.

. . . .

"You didn't bring any supplies at all. Are you really planning to go to the Deep Zone like this?"

With no burden on her body, Philvis quickly descended to the eighteenth floor of the dungeon through a gap in the passageway. When she saw that Broly and his group really didn't intend to buy any supplies in Rivera Town and instead chose to continue descending the floors without stopping, she couldn't help but speak up.

Of course, she believed in Broly's strength, but the Deep Zone wasn't just about strength. Resources were scarce there, and even the most skilled adventurers needed to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, right? If you didn't bring any supplies, were you planning to play PUBG in the Deep Zone?
"Ah, Miss Philweis, it's not that we didn't bring supplies, but rather that our supplies are all stored in the Crystal Palace space."

"The Crystal Palace space?"

"Just think of it as a spatial magic that allows you to carry a huge amount of supplies without any weight."

Faced with the White Witch's questioning, Lefia quickly explained, while Tiona cooperated by taking some items out of the Crystal Palace.

After a period of silence, Phil Weiss finally asked, "So, you all have this amazing spatial magic, and I'm the only one who needs to carry such a big backpack?"

Upon hearing this, Broly and the others belatedly realized what was happening, with Tiona slapping the back of her head in apology: "Ah, I'm so sorry, I thought you were exercising with your bag on."

Under the silent gaze of the White Witch, the Amazonian girl finally reached out her hand: "Give me your bag, and I'll put it in our personal storage space for you."

. . . .

With the rest of the team members relieved of their burdens, Broly and the others were able to descend the floors even faster.

The entire 11-person team arrived at the Death Arena of the 37th level of the underground labyrinth in the Deep Zone in just one and a half days.

Because the team included low-level members like Lilyluka, Haruhime, Daphne, and Cassandra, whose actual combat strength was simply insufficient to deal with the monsters in the Deep Zone.

Therefore, you can't directly switch to the combat-focused mode.

"Ais, don't go deep into the Death Arena. Just stay at the entrance and fight the arena monsters that have been lured out."

Lily, Cassandra, you two will be responsible for providing support from the back, while I will support the whole team from the sidelines.

Don't worry about any danger, because I will take care of your safety the whole time!

Broly immediately activated the dungeon raid protection mode, assigning each member of the team their responsibilities.

Of course, Ais and her friends were the main fighters, while Lily, Luca, and the others were just scavenging for experience in the back.

. . . .

In the 37th floor of the dungeon, the Death Arena spawns monsters at a very high rate; the monsters pouring out of the Death Arena seem almost endless.

Ryu participates in the main frontline combat work, and when she teams up with Broly, the drop rate after killing monsters increases, which is better than when she messes around in the dungeon alone. However, the combat pressure in the Death Arena is also higher than when she fights monsters in the middle area alone.

Lv.4, Ryu, whose stats hadn't been updated for years, faced a group of monsters whose levels were generally the same as hers or even higher. She often had to rely on magic to kill them. Although she kept taking potions to replenish her magic and stamina, she still felt very tired after half a day of intense frontal combat.

After returning to the rear to rest, they watched the swordswoman girl who was still unleashing her unparalleled swordsmanship amidst the monsters ahead, her swordsmanship level having already broken through the bottleneck.

Remembering the Fool from the Hearth House, who, after taking out money, said that her money was only enough to cover a small portion of the research on the new resurrection magic, Ryu felt somewhat frustrated.

Wanting to minimize her debt to Broly and cover the cost of reviving her friend Adie, Ryu felt a deep sense of inadequacy after arriving at the Death Arena and engaging in intense battles against the endless hordes of monsters for half a day.

Perhaps I should go find Lady Astrea and update my stats, which haven't been updated in two years...

Such thoughts popped into Liu's mind, but she quickly realized that she, no longer righteous, had no face to face the God of the past. However, the resurrection of her friend Adi put weight on the other side of the scale in her heart...

Ryu's mind was in turmoil, and just when she was unsure of what to do, the fox-girl came over.

"Miss Liu, you seem to be having a bit of a hard time."

"Ah."

Ryu did not deny it.

"I don't know, do you need my help?"

Chunji asked the question.

"Uh……"

Liu was somewhat speechless. What could a level 1 fox girl possibly do to help her?

"The Magic Hammer!"

But after Haruhime used her upgrade magic on her.

Ah, is that right?

Feeling the surge of power coursing through her body, Ryu immediately changed her mind.

Of course, given Haruhime's magical power level, the level-up effect she can provide can only last for about fifteen minutes.

However, after experiencing combat power one level higher than her original level, Ryu felt that the fox-girl's magic was also incredibly powerful.

"The Magic Hammer..."

Just as the elf was feeling a little lost due to the disappearance of the magic effect and the waning of her power after leveling up, a new magic hammer was smashed down on her. Ryu turned around and found that the person who released this magic was no longer the fox-girl, but the Saiyan boy who had been acting as her babysitter and protector behind her.

Okay, Haruhime's magic that can temporarily boost other people's levels is overpowered, but Broly's wing skill that can directly share other people's abilities is even more overpowered.

Even if it's just a verbal agreement to become someone's encounter partner, Broly can use his wing skills to share the encounter partner's magic and skills.

For example, Broly is proficient in using the Fiora's wind magic, the little girl's transformation magic, and even his own light wind magic.

As for the fact that the opponent is now using the fox-girl's magic on the spot, it is not surprising at all.

Of course, unlike the fox-girl's magic effect which only lasted fifteen minutes, Broly's magic power allowed Ryu to experience what true endurance meant.

Once Broly's magic took effect, it never stopped. Even after the fox-girl regained her magic and tried to use her magic again to assist, it only ended up on other people.

That evening, when they went to the 39th floor, a safe floor where monsters didn't spawn, to set up camp, Ryu brought up the matter of the Magic Hammer.

"Miss Haruhime's magic is incredibly powerful. If people find out about it, she will definitely be coveted by others."

"It's okay, I'll protect her."

"I believe you, but you can't be by Miss Haruhime's side every single moment, can you?"

"Yes, indeed."

"Therefore, you'd better keep Miss Haruhime's magical effects a secret as much as possible."

Before Ryu could even say those words, the Saiyan boy said something like "A gentleman strives for self-improvement" and offered to help the fox-girl increase her strength.

What does it mean to say that if the other party becomes someone who can grab the head of anyone who covets her with one hand, lift them up, and crush them with their bare hands, then that person who dares to covet her will cease to exist?

Ryu's expression was quite complicated. She felt that Broly's words made sense, but the question was, could this seemingly weak fox-girl really grow into a fierce and powerful person who could crush other people's heads with her bare hands?

"That's right. As long as I become stronger, I'll kill anyone who dares to cause trouble!"

Even more outrageous is that both Sword Maiden and Great Slash agreed with the Saiyan boy's words, seemingly having no doubt that the fox girl could become a powerful being capable of crushing other people's heads.

Ryu, who has never updated her stats, obviously doesn't know what Broly shared with everyone else and assumes that no one is using cheat codes.

In reality, only Philvis was truly without any cheat codes. As for the others, including her and Lefia, they all had Broly's shared stat cheat codes, but hers hadn't been activated yet because her stats hadn't been updated.

"By the way, Chun, could you make a pendant like this?"

Broly drew a picture on the ground by the campfire and then asked his half-dwarf wife who was standing next to him.

"It's possible, but what would be the point of making such a pendant?"

Chun looked at the pendant design with inlays drawn by Broly on the ground and asked about it out of curiosity.

“There are some other talismans in the space, and a few of them can enhance combat power. I want to take them out and give them to Ryu to use.”

The pendant itself isn't important; what matters is the talisman embedded within it. Although the talisman is weakened when used across worlds, it's still an outrageously powerful item with ridiculously high rules.

After Tsubaki crafted a pendant for inlaying talismans, and Ryu wore the pendant inlaid with rabbit-ox-dragon talismans representing speed, strength, and energy, she directly gained an amplification effect exceeding that of the Magic Hammer, temporarily boosting her level.

The Rabbit-Ox combination provides a significant percentage boost to speed and strength, while the Dragon combination offers a powerful proportional mana and stamina recovery effect, making the Pokémon the strongest member of the entire team besides Broly.

The next day, when she was grinding monsters again in the Death Arena, she demonstrated a higher monster-killing efficiency than Ais, as well as greater stamina and mana endurance.

Phil Weiss was dumbfounded.

"Miss Phil Weiss, would you like to try it too?"

That evening, when everyone was interested and trying on the charm pendants, Broly even took the initiative to ask her about them.

"Oh, can I wear it too?"

The White Witch pointed to herself, seemingly in disbelief.

"of course."

Broly handed her the charm pendant directly.

After receiving and putting it on, Phil Weiss instantly felt a powerful surge of strength amplified in her body.

This sense of power gave her the feeling that she could resolve the situation with the boy in front of her right now.

And according to Lord Dionysus's orders, any outstanding adventurers should be eliminated whenever possible...

"Miss Phil Weiss, how are you feeling?"

"I feel a surge of power throughout my body, as if I have everything I need."

After sprinting for a distance, vigorously swinging her short sword, and attempting to unleash a spell that consumed a lot of mana, causing cracks to appear on the ground, the White Witch spoke the truth.

After experiencing the blessing of the talisman's power, Philvis didn't hesitate to take off the talisman pendant from her neck and hand it back to the Saiyan boy.

"You'd better only let people you can trust use this kind of amazing equipment."

Otherwise, it could easily incite greed in others.

After returning the charm pendant, the White Witch said this to Broly with a serious expression.

“Miss Phil Weiss, you’re right, but I think I can trust everyone here right now.”

Broly nodded and replied in return.

Can we be trusted?

Phil Weiss and Daphne had similar thoughts, but neither of them said them aloud.

Cassandra looked pleased, because she was never trusted...

If it were Mr. Broly, would he be willing to believe my dream?

The blue-haired girl thought this, and soon she had the opportunity to prove her idea...

On the sixth day after entering the dungeon, Cassandra, who was sleeping in her tent with the pillow she had brought with her, had another precognitive dream.

This dream was still a strange and abstract one, like a fairy tale for children.

The only difference is that the protagonist of the story has become a small blue dragon being chased by a group of dragon hunters, while next to their heads emerges ape knights clad in green armor...

“Mr. Broly, if we don’t go back, you might miss your chance to become a great dragon knight…”

Cassandra woke up, hugging her pillow and still wearing her pajamas, and went straight out of the tent.

She found the Saiyan boy brushing his teeth and washing up outside, and told him about the somewhat abstract fairy tale dream she had.

The girl then offered her own interpretation and prediction of this abstract fairy tale dream, before staring nervously and apprehensively at Broly.
