Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 10 Benedict's Notebook

Upon hearing Xia Fa's words, Ban Li's eyes lit up:
"Really? You actually found a pomegranate?"

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised:

Is this thing rare?

He had previously seen Benedict dig one up so easily, and considering the price of chestnuts and pears, he thought they were quite common.

Chestnut first shook his head, then nodded, and said:

"It's not that rare compared to other good things that can be obtained in the Eagle-level Ghost Realm. However, the Church's demand for Pallgo has suddenly increased recently, and I don't know why."

After a pause, she added:
"The church will buy each pear for 50 gold pounds, and that will be considered an extra contribution from you!"

Xia Fa was secretly pleased, after all, according to the doll girl, a single Paul Fruit was worth more than 30 gold pounds on the market, and selling it to the church would be equivalent to a 70% increase!
Without hesitation, he took out the earthy-smelling fruit from his pocket.

Chestnut took it with both hands, and a flash of secret runes appeared in her eyes. The Paul vanished into thin air, and then a genuine leather money bag with a silver chain appeared in her hand. She smiled and handed it to Xia Fa.

"Here you go, there are 50 gold pounds in here, please check them."

Xia Fa took it in one swift motion and waved it generously:

"It's alright, no need to count."

Chestnut smiled broadly:
"It seems you still trust me quite a bit. Alright, I need to go and meet up with the other superhumans."

Before Xia Fa could ask, she took the initiative to say:
"This time we are hunting down a particularly dangerous monster that has escaped into a burrow. If we don't eliminate it, it may endanger the citizens of Rum City."

Xia Fa nodded thoughtfully. No wonder. He was wondering why such a simple adventure required the two archbishops, Chestnut and Glenn, to be dispatched, along with so many other extraordinary individuals.

Seeing Chestnut turn around and quickly disappear into the darkness of the wasteland, Xia Fa also turned around and walked towards the cave.

The doll-like girl followed closely behind him. Seeing that no one was around, she became lively again and much bolder. She immediately poked her little head behind Xia Fa.

"Shafa, do you like this beautiful rat woman?"

Hearing her clear voice, Xia Fa turned his head and met the burning gossip fire in her golden-red eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle:

"Go away, go away, that's not true."

Benedict seemed quite disappointed:

"Oh, okay... I thought you liked her, so I can help you pursue her."

Now Xia Fa was curious:
"Do you still understand this?"

The doll-like girl said smugly:

"Yeah, that's easy. I often invite her over to our house using my status, then I'll excuse myself and leave you two alone. You can have some drinks, and then... and then..."

She seemed to suddenly freeze, and reached out to pat her forehead:
"Huh, how did my older sisters teach me..."

Xia Fa couldn't help but chuckle. So, all this was taught to him by Benedict's doll sisters?

He almost mistook this doll-like girl for Old Si Ji...

"Let's go back first. Didn't you want to eat dried fish? Hmm... I'll take you to buy some clothes while I'm at it."

At this point, Xia Fa couldn't help but take a look at Benedict. She had simply picked up a piece of brown rag and wrapped it around herself. When she was standing still, it was fine, as she was covered up completely. But once she started running, even her smooth back was exposed.

After thinking for a moment, he took off his wool coat and tossed it to her.

"Put them on first, otherwise it might be embarrassing if you accidentally expose yourself."

The doll-like girl immediately took it and smiled:
"Hehe, thanks, Xia Fa, you're the best."

She carefully draped the wool coat over her shoulders and gently wrapped it around herself.

Now, her curvaceous figure was completely hidden inside the heavy wool coat, with only a pair of smooth and shapely long legs visible beneath the hem.

Xia Fa glanced at her delicate white feet, which were restless on the damp mud, and realized that in addition to clothes, he should also buy a few pairs of shoes that fit the doll girl.

Black ankle boots in a preppy style, loafers, or perhaps strappy sandals?
Let's just...buy them all!

Thinking this, Xia Fa nodded. Now that he had a huge sum of 50 gold pounds, he headed towards the cave exit.

Having learned from his experience this time, he wasn't afraid at all. He pinched his nose and jumped right in.

"Xia Fa Xia Fa, wait for me!"

The moment I landed in the hole, I heard Benedict's clear voice from above. ...

Rum, on the outskirts of town, in a forest of paulownia trees.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Xia Fa screamed as he fell from a height of over a hundred meters at freefall speed.

Looking down, the entrance to a cave can be vaguely seen on the leaf-covered ground.

However, unlike what he had seen before, there were no bristles on the edge of the cave entrance, but the cave walls were still covered with rings of sharp teeth, and the area around the entrance was engraved with secret runes, as if they had been deliberately fixed by the superhumans.

However, the real key now is...

Nobody told him that after coming out of the hole, he would be hundreds of meters below the ground!
And it doesn't slow down at all!

"Hahaha~"

A girl's cheerful voice rang out overhead. Xia Fa looked up with the strong wind and saw Benedictine. She had her arms outstretched in the air, making a gesture of freefalling into the wind, as if she was enjoying the process.

Suddenly, a familiar feeling of slowing down, as if falling into slime, came over Xia Fa, and he felt relieved.

There's no way around it; he's just an ordinary person now, and facing a height of 100 meters would inevitably leave him with some psychological trauma.

Seeing himself land slowly, Xia Fa was completely relieved.

Once outside, the damp, dark, and cold feeling of the cave disappeared.

Instead, there is dappled sunlight filtering through the treetops and a gentle breeze that rustles the leaves like the sound of waves in the pines.

But the down-to-earth summer vacation hasn't even had a chance to be enjoyed yet.

The cold wind, heavy snow, and ice shards enveloped him once again.

"damn it!"

He couldn't help but curse.

He hadn't even dealt with the snow demon that was entangled with him yet, and he had almost forgotten about this!

God knows how much he longed for sunlight after emerging from the dark, damp cave.

"Hopefully the Mithril Holy Symbol will arrive by tomorrow morning. And that nobleman mustn't cause any more trouble..."

Just as he was praying this in his heart, he saw Benedict land on the ground, right next to him.

Before Xia Fa could even speak, Benedict immediately glanced at him, and then her delicate face showed obvious anxiety and worry.

"Xia Fa, you...you've been possessed by a snow demon? How many days has it been?"

Xia Fa was surprised that she could tell, so she replied:
"Yes, including today, it's been exactly three days."

The doll-like girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, there's still time. Wait for me, I'll go back to the Endless Realm and get you a Mithril Holy Emblem. Hmm... I should be back by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised, but then he suddenly realized that the puppet civilization that Benedict belonged to, located in the Endless Domain, was definitely a considerable force.

After all, according to Banli, the Endless Domain, as a cluster of civilizations, is as large as a super-large galaxy!
It's normal for such a force to possess the Mithril Holy Symbol.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Fa asked:

"If you go back to the Endless Realm, will there be any dangers, like being locked up by other puppets or something?"

Beneath said quite easily:
"No, in the Endless Realm, besides the sisters, there's only the Queen and elders, but they're all very kind. However..."

"But what?" Xia Fa asked.

With a flick of her wrist, Benedict revealed a notebook with a brass cover in her palm.

"Now that we've signed the contract, I'll need you to perform the ceremony when I go back."

"ceremony?"

Xia Fa curiously took the notebook with the copper cover. The notebook was very new, with light yellow paper, but it gave people a sense of antiquity and solemnity.

He tried to turn to the first page, but as soon as he took a closer look, he froze, his face showing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

“This…this is…!”
