Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

After exchanging a few casual words, the two met up with Lina and Grace who were standing nearby.

"Blazing Boy, now that you've almost completed all the tasks you accepted, what are your plans after you go back? Will you rest like Angie?"

"Well, I should take a break, but it definitely won't be for too long. And before I actually rest, I want to find Loki to update my current stats. Speaking of which, Angela, you should also go find Loki to update your stats, and Lina too."

Flame stroked his chin, suddenly remembering the real purpose behind his previous organization of the squad.

"Me? I didn't participate in any battles..."

Linne paused for a moment, then gave a somewhat confused reply.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems she hasn't played a significant role in the battles these past few days. She's only used her staff to kill several wild boars, attacking flying beetles, and some poisonous birds and others. Even if her stats were upgraded, it probably wouldn't result in a substantial improvement...

"Huh? That's possible... but is it really necessary?"

Angie, whose name was also called by Lieyan, reacted in the same way as Linie, pausing slightly before instinctively answering.

Updating ability stats doesn't matter.

The problem is that her stats haven't changed much in a long time. Even during the last expedition, when she followed the team all the way down to the fiftieth floor, her stats only increased by five points after she returned.

Moreover, this attribute increase is total... which is basically negligible.

This shows how difficult it is for her to improve her abilities.

"It's necessary, absolutely necessary. The monsters here not only increase your experience points, but also provide extremely high-quality Great Achievement experience. In other words, you have a very good chance of leveling up, Angie!"

As for Linne, don't underestimate the support you've provided these past few days. Believe in yourself.

Lieyan said with a smile, and then poured another mouthful of chicken soup into Line's mouth.

Lieyan is very confident about this matter.

What a joke! He learned from Loki that Ais's abilities had greatly improved after that hunt for the Rock Dragon.

Just one Rock Dragon and one Barroth were enough to give Ais and Bert, who were already level 5, a very good experience reward. Now, the monsters they are hunting not only surpass the Rock Dragon and Barroth in quality, but also completely overwhelm them in number.

Both of them are on the verge of leveling up, only lacking the great achievement. There's no reason why Ais can grow while Angie can't.

There's even a whole level difference between them. If we calculate it that way, Angie should have grown more than Ais. It's not impossible for her to have accumulated enough achievements to level up.

As for Linne, although she didn't seem to have made any significant achievements in the past few days, her performance as a healer and supporter was actually quite outstanding.

Putting aside the healing magic that would naturally appear on his body at the right time, his performance in clearing and protecting the surrounding environment of the battlefield (referring to dealing with the wild boars and flying beetles) was also quite professional, even when Grace was not making a move.

As for the monsters, this seemingly shy little girl also swung her long staff and hit the poisonous birds many times.

Therefore, Lieyan believed that she would also be able to achieve some improvement.

However, we'll have to wait until Loki completes his operation to find out exactly how much it will improve.

"That's fine."

Angie smiled and nodded. She had been standing in front of the cliff leading to LV·5 for quite some time. If she could break through the cliff in one fell swoop, that would be a wonderful thing.

Meanwhile, Linee, who was standing to the side, also felt somewhat tempted after a moment's thought.

In the world of adventurers, no one doesn't want to improve themselves.

It would be impossible for her not to want to raise her level to a higher level, but only she knows what's going on. Linne knows very well how difficult it is for a healing defender to raise her level.

After all, this is a protected position with few opportunities for risk.

But since Mr. Flame has said so, let's give it a try.

Looking at the cheerful smile of the flames, Linne mentally cheered herself on.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------

The four returned to Flamefire Village, and after handing over their mission to Shuiyun, they went their separate ways.

First, Flame opened the portal, allowing Grandpa Grace and Linne to return to the Familia headquarters. He also asked Linne to help find Loki and tell her about updating her stats. Afterward, he and Angie went to Grandpa Blade Pattern's workshop.

"I see, so you're going to craft a set of Tobi-Thunder Dragon armor..."

Looking at the materials laid out before him, the old man with the knife-like pattern narrowed his eyes. He first reached out and stroked the materials to check their quality, then looked up at An Qi with a hint of a smile in his eyes, and said:

"The materials from Tobi-Kadachi are of very high quality and can be used to make decent high-rank armor. However, the materials here are not enough to make a full set of Tobi-Kadachi armor. To make the set, you will also need three Thunder Sacs, as well as the bristles and shell of the Blue Bear Beast."

The electric shock pouch is the core of the Tobi-Dragon armor set's physical skills; the weak electric current it emits can stimulate the human body and reduce stamina consumption. The bristles and hard shell of the Blue Bear Beast are the core of the other two skills. Overall, the only thing I can directly process and manufacture right now is the leg guards.

Although it's called the Tobi-Thunder Dragon set, you actually need other monster materials to craft it.

In fact, this trend is more pronounced with higher-level equipment.

For example, the Primal Silver Dragon Set, which was once the most powerful equipment in the game, required four rare materials to create: [Moonlight Fragment], [Iceborne Dragon's Zero Jade], [Thorn Tea Dragon's Heavenly Scale], and [Reversed Double Reverse Scale], which correspond to the four powerful monsters, Moon Nargacuga, Iceborne Dragon, Thorn Tea Dragon, and Chaos Black Eclipse Dragon, respectively.

"Blue Bear Beast and Electabuzz... I understand. I'll bring these three materials as soon as possible."

Anqi pondered for a moment, then nodded gently.

The equipment for the Flying Thunder Dragon wasn't something she urgently needed, so she didn't plan to obtain the missing materials directly through the Flame Clan or the Familia's branches.

She was preparing to hunt alone.

The Blue Bear Beast wouldn't be difficult for her to deal with, making it a suitable primary target for a solo hunt.

The electric shock bag is a bit troublesome. This special organ, which is contained inside the monster's body, can only be completely extracted by the guild to make it effective. However, although the guild's extraction is reliable, it is very slow, especially recently during this special period when a large number of monsters affected by the Wind God Dragon have been hunted in Flame Village.

But given enough time, nothing is a problem.

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------

After a flurry of activity, Lieyan opened the interdimensional portal again and returned to the clan's settlement with Anqi. However, as soon as they stepped out of the portal, Lieyan was startled.

Before the interdimensional gate stood four figures in a row.

Riveria, Loki, Tiona, Lefia.

Blazing Flame & Angel: ?

"What are you doing...?"

Flame blinked, looking at the four people in front of him with a puzzled expression. He could understand Loki in front of him, since he had just told Lina that he needed to tell Loki that he needed to update his ability values.

But the question is, what are the other three doing here? Or did something happen while I was hunting...?

Wait, the one who managed to bring these people together is Masaka!

Looking at the group of people standing in front of him in a familiar formation, Lieyan sighed softly and looked at the elven beauty on the far left.

"Tell me, Rivera, what happened?"

"It's a little embarrassing to admit," Riveria coughed lightly, her face flushing slightly for some reason. "It's about Ais, or about that rabbit from last time."

Riveria spoke cryptically, but Flame understood instantly.

Guys, I'm straight guys.

So it's already this late... As far as I can remember, the second time Ais saw the rabbit, and with Riveria involved, was after Ais successfully defeated the LV-6 floor master, Udeos, all by herself.

That means... Ais can level up to level 6!

Thinking of this, Flame perked up immediately: "It's okay, it's actually a good thing. I'll just say one thing, Loki, go update Ais's stats now, there will be a surprise."

Chapter 109: Let the Bullets Fly a Little Longer

"Surprise? What surprise? Hey, don't push me! Damn it, Flame, you just wait!!"

"You actually dared to make such threats... Are you some kind of elementary school kid who's going to fight at the school gate after school? Hurry up, I need to update my stats after dinner too. Angie, don't just stand there, aren't you updating your stats too? Let's do it together."

Holding Loki and Angie by the back, Flame pushed them towards the corridor. Although Loki was completely confused, his curiosity about the surprise Flame mentioned ultimately outweighed his desire to see what Riveria wanted to do with Flame. After uttering a harsh remark, he went to find Ais with three parts indignation and ninety-seven parts eagerness.

Angie pursed her lips, a smile appearing on her lips from who-knows-where, and then followed.

"Wait for me! I also want to know what kind of surprise Flame was talking about!"

Upon hearing that Loki was going to find Ais, and considering the surprise Flame mentioned, Tiona's curiosity was piqued. She quickly greeted Flame and then hurriedly chased after Loki and the others.

"Me, me, I want to go too!"

Lefia, equally curious, followed Tiona's footsteps and rushed out. However, halfway there, she seemed to remember something, quickly turned around, and bowed to Riveria.

A hint of helplessness flickered in Riveria's emerald eyes. She had been trying her best to downplay the influence of her royal status on her own elves, but it seemed that getting them to treat her with normalcy was still a long and arduous task...

With a slight sigh, Riveria gently raised her hand to indicate that it was alright. Then, as if she had received a royal decree, Lefia straightened up again, calling out "Wait for me!" as she quickened her pace to catch up.

In the blink of an eye, the team that was originally like a group of godmothers judging heretics was reduced to only Riveria and Flame.

"Come in and let's talk. I heard that you had a lot of trouble when you went down into the dungeon. I was originally planning to talk about it when you came back from the dungeon and your academic classes resumed. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. This should be considered a case of 'the best time is now'."

Lieyan chuckled, opened the door, made way for the doorway, and gestured for them to enter.

"That's annoying."

Riveria entered Flame's room, just as anyone would do upon entering an unfamiliar space; the elven royalty made no attempt to conceal their presence as they surveyed the room they were entering for the first time.

The air was filled with a light, forest-like scent.

The clean and tidy room had minimal decorations. The bed, wardrobe, pharmacist equipment that took up half the room, bookshelves, and desk made up the entire room's furnishings.

The bookshelf leaning against the corner of the room was filled with books, some borrowed from Riveria, and others, a large number of hero stories or biographies that Flame had bought himself from Orario. Perhaps it was because Riveria had taught him the common script by using the Argonauts as his first textbook, or perhaps it was due to his own preference, but Flame had a special fondness for these hero stories.

The desk next to the bookshelf was much larger than the version used by ordinary people. On the desk was a document that Flame had obtained from the Hunter's Guild, which recorded the history between the Fortress Highlands and the Silver Dragon, and a small pile of parchment with translations in the common script. Flame was carrying out his promise to Ais step by step.

Come to think of it, this seems to be the first time I've ever entered a room occupied by a man other than my father...

Such a strange thought arose in the mind of the elven royal. Needless to say, during the time he spent in Elven King Forest, even during the most difficult period when his clan was just starting out, this noble elven royal had never stepped into a man's residence.

"How does it feel?"

Flame pulled out a huge chair from in front of the desk and asked.

“As expected.” Riveria sat down gracefully, her eyebrows lowered, a faint smile playing on her lips. “After all, everyone in the Clan knows that you, Flame, are very clean. You even forced Loki to clean his room. You deserve a lot of credit for keeping Loki’s room so tidy.”

Whether it is a god or a human, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Ever since the fiery inferno forced Loki to do a thorough cleaning, Loki now finds anything messy, even displeasing to himself, and immediately tidies it up. Although Loki's room is still inevitably a bit messy due to the nature of a god, it is now a lawful evil compared to the chaotic evil of the past.

But Loki himself symbolizes chaos, so we can't ask for more from him.

Flame was satisfied with the current situation, as were the others who would go to Loki's room to update their stats.
