Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 470 Night

On the birchwood table, which wobbled slightly with the slightest force, lay a half-drawn alchemical array, its pattern not yet complete.

I glanced at the tweezers and saw blade next to me, which were used to modify the ring.

And that rather elegant black gem, the [Heart of the Corpse].

And the bronze-colored [Ring of Fortitude].

Fang Yi shook his head after receiving the reminder.

[This really came at the worst possible time.]

This is the current situation.

It's like having eaten dinner.

Completely remove the packaging boxes of various computer components such as graphics cards and motherboards.

They started assembling the computer with great enthusiasm.

As soon as the CPU was installed and the memory sticks were plugged in, the CPU was installed.

Then the nightmarish ringing of the phone signaled that I had to go back to work.

It gives one a subtle, unpleasant feeling that their plans have been ruined.

However, Fang Yi still dutifully put these items back into his personal space.

He postponed his alchemy practice class.

Then I took out the [Synchronized Journal].

As the slightly yellowed paper came into contact with the air...

Several lines of elegant and powerful handwriting also emerged.
-
Mr. 'I am very strong'.

Choosing to bother you at this rather inappropriate time.

Gu Qi expressed his deepest apologies.

But before we talk, I'd like to ask you a question.

What was the gist of our last private message?
They're very vigilant and cautious.

Fang Yi gained some understanding of the woman on the other side of the paper, whom he had never met in person.

He then quickly closed his eyes and, with his [extensive knowledge and strong memory], recalled the contents of the previous private message.

Finally, he wrote down this sentence on the paper, a sentence he spoke with great confidence.

No matter who the enemy is, I will be the ultimate winner.

Because I am very strong.

Looking at the journal that didn't react or respond for a while.

Fang Yi then lay back on the wooden chair with his hands behind his head.

He slightly lifted the chair.

He started humming a strange tune.

He waited for the woman's response.

The man who emerged from that fierce battle where the main characters gathered.

He already has the confidence to defeat anyone who competes against him.

The unique skill that has not yet been fully mastered: [This Fist is the Only Method].

The [Jing·Who Else But Me] is not yet fully perfect and is still growing.

There should have been optional branches.

But because of the [Heart of the Dragon].

Even before any signs of enhancement have appeared, the [Nine Transformations of Dragon Refinement] has already amplified the physical body.

Not to mention the [Mastery Level Swordsmanship], which became unreliable again after being upgraded to [lv9].

The near-awakening gave rise to the [Stand] with the [First Strike] and [Maintaining Matters] abilities.

It requires the meticulous repair of the [Resonance Enchantment Blade].

Only materials obtained from [Champion-level] monsters can be used to complete the reforging of [Kashuu Kiyomitsu].

Unallocated free attribute points.

The man's current strength and 'hand'.

It's time to take some time.

Slow down and think about how to integrate them.

It has reached a point where it needs to settle down and reflect.

He no longer needs to acquire 'cards' as a substitute for the time being.

Make any new enhancements and gain new things.

Instead, one needs to thoroughly understand and master one's own abilities.

Study how to play your 'hand' well.

of course.

If there is a sufficiently strong enemy.

To engage in a thoroughly enjoyable battle with them.

Fang Yi believes this time will be shortened considerably.

That Li Yi is pretty good.

He probably hasn't gone all out yet; he's an opponent worth looking forward to and one that must be dealt with.

As Fang Yi was thinking this, he was soon drawn to the new handwriting on the yellowed notebook.
-
Mr. Fang Yi.

Please allow me to express my apologies to you again.

Regardless of the changes that occur due to the anomalies in the [Derivative World], all transactions are subject to change.

My reply was still somewhat dismissive and tentative.

These were all extremely rude and offensive behaviors that I need to apologize to you for.

Mr. Fang Yi, I wonder what level your [Mercenary Rank] has reached?
This will affect the plans for the next meeting.

After all, I don't want you to get involved in disputes that have nothing to do with you.
-
Several lines were automatically omitted, making me feel a little drowsy.

It's like searching for "how to apologize to customers" on a search engine and having those results appear on the webpage.

The words that were then copied down by the other party on paper.

I saw the other party's inquiry about [Mercenary Level].

Fang Yi couldn't help but smile crookedly.

Write down this line of text in bold strokes.
-
Although it's a bit slow.

But there's one more 'dungeon'.

You can then level up to [lv3], where you can accept quests outside the town.

Take care of an enemy you need to deal with while you're at it.
-
Fang Yi, who wrote these words, had a very wicked smile on his face.

No surprises.

Next up is Miss Gu Qi.

The reaction will be one of shock.

At the same time, it gives me a better understanding of my own abilities.

This is a very common and formulaic, but always effective, cycle of "showing strength - shocking".

However, a few seconds later.

A line of text appeared on some of the yellowed paper.
-
Mr. Fang Yi need not feel upset about this.

As a reincarnator in a world that has just ascended to Rank 2.

I entered the [Grand Prize] 37 times on my first try and failed to win.

There are also several unknown [modules] and [derivative worlds] that increase the difficulty.

It's perfectly normal to fall behind most of the veteran reincarnators in terms of progress.

Moreover, Mr. Fang Yi, you are an alchemist who is not known for your combat skills.

Even for seasoned professionals.

Not everyone can succeed after their first 'dungeon'.

Like me.

The lord who captured the town offered one of three slots to upgrade a mercenary's rank to level 3.

I gained the ability to leave the town to some extent by paying the crows [Old Gold Coins].

The [Private Message] function will be unlocked after experiencing two dungeons.

After all, it happened to be during the 'Autumn Hunt', and strange things happened in the dungeon.

Mercenaries from all walks of life gathered in the town, causing prices to rise, including for equipment and supplies.

The competition for rapid promotion slots in the [Mercenary Rank] category is fiercer than ever before.
-
Looking at the information written by the woman on the other side of the notebook.

Fang Yi was somewhat surprised to have failed in his attempt to show off.

Having gained an understanding of Miss Gu Qi's combat strength.

My heart was filled with unprecedented doubts.

He read through the information provided by this Miss Gu Qi over and over again.

I sensed something was amiss.

The other party's progress is unusually fast.

I should be the first being in the cycle of reincarnation to arrive at a town like this.

Reincarnators who are 'pioneering' the land.

There is no doubt about this.

Otherwise, the system wouldn't offer the privilege of [summoning followers in advance].

He also possesses the talent of "superhuman attraction" which can increase a character's favorability.

The option to enhance someone's favorability through conversation was selected.

Not to mention.

He also has the achievement "Our journey is not over yet".

Multiple abilities result in an increase in the ease with which one can gain favor with characters of the Order class.

In theory, no one can progress faster than him.

Woyin's large-scale investment.

The promises and help from the veterans' department.

In addition, the [Silk Binding] skill and [Mercenary Rank] promotion permission granted by Woyin.

Love, the blacksmith, helped.

These are all clear evidence.

Even so, he still needs to complete another dungeon run to advance his Mercenary Rank to Level 3.

Her progress is a bit strange, or rather, a little eerie, isn't it?
-
Scanning the other party's description, "[Mercenaries are gathering, and the prices of everything from equipment to supplies have increased]," reveals that...

Fang Yi frowned even more.

Something's not right. The mercenary numbers didn't decrease because of the news of the town's destruction while exploring the "Wilderness."

Aren't the supplies on sale right now?

He took out the Ring of Fortitude.

This ring.

It was that antique dealer, Sima, who pawned it to the tavern.

According to the merchant Li Zhi.

Fang Yi already knew that the tavern in Hamlet Town planned to leave.

Therefore, the information about this debt was packaged and sold to the merchants.

Not to mention the businessman told him he planned to use those two glasses of wine as collateral to withdraw a loan from the bank.

In the short term, we will only accept old gold coins.

They were trying to gather the mercenaries who had evacuated the town and were selling their equipment at low prices.

A scheme to profit by reselling to reincarnators.

Therefore, we can see that there is a rise in equipment prices.

It won't happen in the short term.

Fang Yi, who had a vague premonition of something, wrote down this sentence.
-
Miss Gu Qi.

Do you or your town know about this intelligence?

On par with four pioneering towns, this is a town for exploring the wilderness.

It has already been destroyed due to unknown factors.

My town has presented me with a "side quest" that requires me to make a choice.

You can even choose to perform regression.
-
Fang Yi had a vague premonition when he wrote this sentence.

This is the intelligence being delivered to the other party.

They will play a crucial role in this mission.

Make sure your undelivered goods are delivered.
-
A bedroom.

Gu Qi, sitting in a somewhat uncomfortable chair, tilted his head slightly.

She shook her long, gray hair that hung down behind her.

After touching my dark circles in the mirror.

She picked up the spray can containing the "all-purpose maintenance solution" that could mitigate the negative effects of structural failures once again.

Aim the nozzle at the parts on the table.

I pressed the switch very carefully.

"呲-"

A burst of orange-yellow mist dissipated and adhered to the parts.

It quickly turned into particles and seeped into the parts.

They began performing a drastic, half-hearted maintenance on the mechanical arm armor and shield in front of them.

The woman then rubbed her slightly sore eyes.

He muttered a complaint under his breath.

"Really, Miss really knows how to order people around."

"We had just started a new task and it was already time for another round of 'overtime'."

The durability looks low.

Because some parts are damaged.

Arm armor and shield with negative attributes.

Gu Qi sighed.

"We need to find someone who has a deep understanding of mechanical structures and principles, and is proficient in alchemy."

They didn't even give us time to do any repairs.

"If only there were a reincarnator who could master both of these skills!"

"The equipment of the [Legendary] quality is good, but the maintenance is a bit too cumbersome."

But considering how unpopular the field of Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Principles is...

Gu Qi shook his head again with great regret.

"Unrealistic fantasies!"

The woman picked up the "Synchronized Journal" from the side.

He rubbed his face and composed himself.

"Luckily, we were lucky enough."

"This trading partner named Fang Yi seems to have some strength."

"This transaction to deliver the [strange item] should be completed soon."

However, after the woman began to study the contents above...

His brows furrowed instantly.

"The destruction of an equally existing town?"

The woman stood up instantly, opened the window, and looked out onto the street.

The streets were peaceful.

The town comes alive because the 'dungeon' has been opened.

There seems to be absolutely no sense of urgency.

See this scene.

Gu Qi took out a police badge and rubbed it in his palm.

This piece of equipment, named "Mohr's Badge," is of "Tier 2 Common."

These are items distributed by the town's "Guard Captain" "Moll" to members who join the "Guard Team".

It's probably because of similar personalities.

It's because they're like 'the same kind'.

This man, who prefers to be called "Sheriff" by everyone, is accompanied by a dog.

When her Mercenary Rank is raised to lv3.

She was specially given this piece of equipment.

[The town includes all the reincarnators I've encountered, including the "Guard Captain" [Moore], who, like his dog, was utterly dedicated to his duty and truly worthy of the word "justice."]

[But we've never said anything like that!]

The space didn't provide any tasks!

So who is concealing this crucial information regarding the town's survival?

Having vaguely guessed the truth, Gu Qi, feeling a chill run down his spine, wrote down the following sentence on the paper.
-
Thank you so much for the information you provided.

This allowed me to learn this crucial piece of information.

However, my every move is being watched by others, which could very well cause you unnecessary trouble.

[Mercenary Level] is increased to [lv3] or after accepting a commission from a certain character.

Then you can leave the town.

I will find a way to deliver your most important goods as soon as possible.

I would also like to ask one more question: Is that Disma a trustworthy person?

if you can--
After writing this sentence, the woman waited a moment and received this reply.

He is a trustworthy person.

After reading this line, Gu Qi replied with the message: "Then he, as the instructor, will deliver the items. Talk to you later."

He pulled out his police badge and stood up.

"Great, that way we don't have to drag him into this."

"Whether it's a strange town hiding information or an unknown enemy."

"We must not let him get involved in disputes that have nothing to do with him."

The woman, as she spoke, assembled her shield and donned her arm armor.

"After all, Miss said that he must be brought out intact."
-
After seeing Ms. Gu Qi's reply.

Fang Yi tilted his head.

"The town over there probably holds the truth behind its destruction, and may even be part of the questline for the [Grand Prize]."

"If you want to avoid the destruction of the town, going to explore that town is the only option you can take."

"But right now we need to find a way to resolve this dispute as soon as possible, while waiting for Disma to arrive."

He saw the message: "After accepting a request from certain people, you can leave the town."

Several candidates flashed through my mind.

"Should we look for Corey, Woyin, or Love?"

"Get a commission to leave the town, and at the same time, what channel should we use to inform Li Yi?"

"How about we quickly lure him out and end this battle?"

Fang Yi took out the ring again, preparing to have the gemstone set.

However, the next moment.

The knocking on the door interrupted the alchemical practice once again.

Fang Yi pushed open the door.

The veteran Corri and the woman wearing a bird-beak mask were seen outside the door.

Before Fang Yi could speak.

The woman then uttered these words.

"I am Heidi."

"Your team is being asked to go outside the town for a well-paid mission."

I listened to the notification sound in my ear.

A smile appeared on Fang Yi's lips.

The battle to crush the enemy who is preventing him from playing in peace should be coming soon.
