Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

Alfia gave a cold laugh, her gaze lowered to the majestic, unyielding Ionia Mountains, shrouded in a bath towel.

Charles shuddered, a sudden sense of urgency rising within him...

If I can't keep up with Alfia's rate of growth, will I receive news of Second Master's defeat in a few days?

Before Charles could react, his body was pulled, his buttocks sank, and he was lifted into the air, landing in the nearby bathtub.

Charles took a few sips of water, then leaned over the edge of the bathtub, watching Alfia showering while humming a song, the water boiling and creating a curtain of water that blocked her view. His little nose wrinkled:

"Hey, bad guy, then what?"

"What, and then~? Didn't you want to take a bath? Stay soaking." Alfia's cheerful voice came from behind the water curtain.

"I'd like to learn how to use that booklet. Could you teach me?"

"Hmph~ You little noob." Alfia's playful voice rang out: "That kind of thing is too early for you!"

Charles lost his composure.

no……

You're in charge of raising the flag late at night, but you also need to make sure it doesn't fall!

A moment later, Alfia, wrapped in a bath towel, took small, quick steps and disappeared into the water.

Charles was delighted and went over to her.

Alfia held up a finger and pressed it against Charles's cheek: "Little guy, what do you want to do?"

"Think~"

"Tch... a tiny, insignificant noise."

"Then you just..."

Even the most unbearable noise deserves to be listened to. First, confirm ownership; perhaps it will develop into a beautiful melody in the future.

Ciel's face slowly turned red, his brows and features furrowing like a bun.

You despicable woman! You're getting something for nothing!

"Damn it, Alfia! Just you wait! One day, I'll make you kneel on the ground and sing 'Conquer'!"

"Hmph, that's still a hundred years too early..."

……

Enraged, Charles raised the Ionian flag high, dried himself off, and left the bathhouse.

He wants to become stronger, he wants to become stronger immediately.

Back in the room, I threw myself onto the bed, withdrew my clone, and the grace behind me began to swirl and twist wildly.

The refresh count keeps disappearing...

10，7…4…3…2…

A brand new panel is displayed...

Ciel: lv4

Stats: Strength I40 / Endurance I47 / Dexterity I50 / Agility I61 / Magic I90

Magic: [Stack Armor, Pass!] [Iron Wall]

Skills: [Lucky Star], [Thick Skin], [Alternate Formation Defense], [Godslayer], [Shield Slam]

……

【Lucky Star】

• Continue to launch;

• You will receive an additional mystery reward after winning a battle against another clan;

The more rounds and the longer the interval, the richer the rewards.

……

Seeing the mysterious skill displayed on the Grace panel, Ciel's mind went blank...

This... he's a lucky star!

Although we don't know what this mysterious reward contains, it's definitely a rare and precious item that's hard to come by in the DanMachi world.

For example... a hero replicator?

Should I copy an Alfia, or copy someone else's panel?

Where are the bond scrolls? Where are the equipment? Or perhaps, the external, unstable forge, or the dismantling device?

If a guaranteed reward of gold coins is given, can it be used to level up?

Charles grew increasingly excited as he thought about it, and took a deep breath...

"Alfia, I'm in! I'm in!"

"shut up!"

Thump—, boom…

Chapter 402 Pots and Pans, Submit to Me

Oraly, West Street Church.

At 7:30 in the morning, Charles suddenly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the familiar ceiling.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?" A moment of confusion made him think he had traveled through time again.

He threw back the covers, got up, covered his forehead, and frowned in thought: "I remember... my abilities seemed to have been refreshed yesterday, and then..."

His memory ended after he heard a loud bang.

"what happened?"

Charles subconsciously focused his mind on Grace, the sacred text behind him shimmering.

A piece of information popped into Charles's mind...

Losing streak +1

"A series of defeats already?" Charles was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening...

"Damn, did I draw the lucky charm last night?"

"Fortune" is a game synergy from Teamfight Tactics. Its effect is simply to accumulate a losing streak. When you are on the verge of death, a victory will grant you a very generous cumulative reward.

Regardless of whether the rewards will change in this DanMachi world, the items will definitely be of high quality.

Even if you summon some equipment, like the useless stick or the Demon Codex, it's still worth it!

Then the problem is coming...

"How can I quickly accumulate a losing streak?" Charles pondered.

From the skill description:

First, you need to fight in the form of "familia". Judging from the number of consecutive losses accumulated yesterday, there is no limit to the number of people.

"This requirement seems to be aimed at battles against those who possess the Blessing. It doesn't seem to apply to ordinary residents or monsters in dungeons."

Secondly, there's the combat style...

"What if Alfia and I continued to decide the winner by playing rock-paper-scissors? Could we farm rewards indefinitely? And what would be the criteria for victory or defeat?"

Thinking of this, Charles climbed out of bed, glanced at the clothes folded beside the bed, hurriedly put on his clothes, and then went downstairs in his boots.

The supermarket opens at 6 a.m., and Lily and the others have already gone to work. Strange noises are coming from the kitchen, which should be empty.

Charles frowned and quietly approached.

Alfia stood with her arms crossed, her eyes fixed intently on the stove...

"Drink!" Alfia opened her arms, and magic surged forth!

"Pots, pans, and utensils, submit to me!"

Sizzle—crack, crack, sizzle…

A chaotic magical energy emanated from the stove, and with a loud bang, a cloud of smoke billowed out of the kitchen.

"Cough cough cough... no..." Charles's face was covered in soot, he covered his nose, and looked at Alfia, who was protecting him with [Silent Eden], rolling his eyes:

"What, what's going on?"

"Oh, you're awake." Alfia raised her eyes. "Wait, breakfast will be ready soon."

"Ugh... what the hell!" Ciel activated his exhaust magic item to suck up the thick smoke: "What are you doing, Alfia?"

"Didn't you notice? Cooking." Alfia stroked her chin. "Strange, I remember Fels did the same thing last time, why didn't he listen?"

“Cooking…” Ciel leaned back tactically: “I thought you were researching some amazing transmutation circle. Your next target wasn’t the kitchen, but Orario.”

"Strange, with your talent, you shouldn't be stopped by a mere kitchen, right?"

“Cooking was Metluth’s talent. She probably stole it all.” Alfia said, hands on her hips, frowning. “That’s why I specifically had Fels create these magical gadgets that can ‘automatically complete cooking’… tsk, trying to fool me with half-finished products.”

"What a bold noise."

Within the core of this "Quiet Garden" are many of Fels's improvisational works created in his spare time.

According to the "Wisdom of the Fool" provided by Ciel, simple magical artifact prototypes such as "air conditioner," "water heater," "range hood," and "fan" have been partially implemented and are only waiting for further technical refinement before mass production can be arranged.

It could be said that, thanks to Fels, Charles felt like he was living a 'modern' life again and didn't want to go back to the harsh environment of the man-made maze.

at the moment……

"Has Fels come up with some new gadgets this time?"

Ciel approached the stove, where a row of magical tools of various styles were placed next to the fire-starting device commonly used in Danmaku.

Charles rummaged through the ruins and scraps, and quickly identified some familiar pieces of equipment.

"A magic rice cooker... this is a toaster... a dishwasher, and an automatic dough mixer... not bad... Mia's mom should like this."

In the world of DanMachi, the human diet is still more Central European, and adventurers still prefer sandwiches, pasta, and bread.
