"Wandering spirit, don't come any closer!" Despite holding a shield and a graveyard greatsword, Bajaton suddenly yelled and ran back into the cave where the campfire was, causing Miral to run away with him.
Lu Ming, Jack, and the wandering spirit who ran over and witnessed this scene were all speechless.
Before the wandering soldier could react, Lu Ming stabbed him to death with his sword, leaving him to die in confusion and frustration.
"Bajaton! Miral! You two, come out here! What kind of undead run faster than rabbits the moment they see an enemy charging at them?" Lu Ming asked, looking annoyed, as he entered the cave.
“The two of us!” Baggetton and Mirall said in unison.
Upon hearing this answer, both Lu Ming and Jack were furious. One dealt with Miral, and the other with Baggetton, to teach them a lesson about the fate of deserters. However, compared to Baggetton, who was being struck by Jack's lightning and dancing around, Miral, whose feet were being tickled by Lu Ming, seemed much happier.
After all that fuss, Mirall learned her lesson. But Baggetton plopped down on the ground and started thinking.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm..."
"What the hell?! You tell me if you're going to hit me or not!"
"Hmm... wait until I figure out a way to avoid those wandering spirits, then we'll talk about it."
"Damn it!" Seeing this, Lu Ming was on the verge of collapse.
Why do I have two such terrible teammates?!
Helpless, Lu Ming had no choice but to leave the troublesome Bajton here for now, and go with Miral and Jack to see if he could fight.

As some fellow readers have said, writing too darkly isn't a viable approach either. I think I should go back to my original idea: humor.
Chapter Two - Dungeon [Mithril Harbor] Part Two
After killing a pirate who had already become a ghost with a single sword strike, Lu Ming, along with Miral and Jack, escaped into a building amidst the arrows.
Although Miral used magic to light some campfires outside with lots of wood, and Lu Ming shot some archers with his seed machine gun, there were still some hiding in places the seed machine gun couldn't reach, continuing to shoot arrows at them from a distance.
After killing all the sleeping ghost pirates in the house, Lu Ming sat down in a chair, slightly out of breath, and said to the others, "We should kill those archers now. But I don't want to run into that weirdo we encountered before again."
“Yes! That thing was terrifying!” Miral, who was also sitting in a chair, nodded with lingering fear.
They said this because, while they were lighting the campfire outside, a giant bat-like primate monster suddenly attacked the three of them.
Because that thing could use Ghost-type Shadow Strike and Nightshade, Lu Ming and the others were all injured before they finally managed to kill it. Although the thing dropped a Stone that could evolve Ghost-type Pokémon and transform weapons into Dark-type Ghost Stones, Lu Ming and the others still didn't want to encounter it again because it was so difficult to defeat.
Unfortunately, both Lu Ming, who had completed the game through video, and Jack, who had been to Mihart, knew about that thing, and they would definitely encounter it many times in the future!
Seeing that Jack and Miraal didn't consume any magic power when using miracles and magic, Lu Ming, feeling extremely jealous, rested for a while before leading the two of them to continue conquering [Mihart].
So far, the three of them have taken down quite a few axes from lower-ranking soldiers of the kingdom, swords and bows from some barbarian pirates, and some fire-attribute arrows.
Fearing something might go wrong, Lu Ming gave the pairs of swords among those items to Miral, to prevent this somewhat timid mage from being attacked and killed by wandering spirits.
"Whether it's barbarian pirates, those wandering ghost soldiers, or those ferocious dogs, none of them are as terrifying as those monsters. But it seems we've encountered one!" Just as Lu Ming and his group left the building, preparing to take a detour to eliminate the archers, they ran headlong into a monster hiding in the darkness behind cover!
Fortunately, the creature was afraid of light, and Miral had lit the nearby campfires with her magic, while Lu Ming had lit the huge chandelier at the top of the cave with his rocket. So the monster could only hide in the darkness, barking and taunting at Lu Ming and his companions, but dared not come out to deliver a fatal blow.
Lu Ming and the other two exchanged a glance, and then unleashed all sorts of spells and miracles at the monster.
"Seed Machine Gun!" "Fireball!" "Lightning Spear!"
After three spells and miracles, the monster was reduced to dust, leaving only a transparent amethyst gemstone with a black substance inside.
He picked up the Ghost Stone and put it in his pocket. Lu Ming took two fire arrows from the quiver the barbarian archers had taken from him and shot them dead, one after the other, killing the two barbarian archers who hadn't noticed them.
"Look over there!" Just as Lu Ming and Jack were about to continue their journey, Miral suddenly pointed to the center of Miharn and said to them, "There seems to be someone over there!"
Lu Ming and Jack looked in the direction Miral pointed and found that there was indeed a person there!
"Let's take care of the archers first, then go see who that person is." Although Lu Ming knew who the person was, he couldn't be sure it was the same person, or that they were friendly to the three of them. After all, Lu Ming hadn't encountered any NPCs he should have met in the game during the previous two dungeons. So whether the person in the center of Miharbor was an NPC was still a question.
Drawing his bow and arrow, Lu Ming cautiously moved forward, and soon he had killed all the archers in Mi Harbor. However, he was also hit by several arrows.
Fortunately, with Jack as the caretaker, there's no need to drink the elemental bottles. Otherwise, he would have drunk all three bottles very quickly.
"These annoying monsters again..." As they walked, Lu Ming and the others arrived in front of a dilapidated building. Looking at the three monsters lurking in the shadows inside, the three of them looked rather grim.
"Hmm, what's wrong with this thing?" Just as Lu Ming and the other two were wondering if they should take a different route, Bajedon suddenly appeared and patted Miral on the shoulder.
"Ah ...
Startled half to death by this sudden attack, Miral immediately screamed, making Lu Ming and Jack's ears ache.
Because of Miral's scream, the three monsters inside the building rushed out and attacked Lu Ming and the others!
"Not good! Everyone be careful!" As soon as he saw the three monsters charging towards them, and their shadows shooting out tentacle-like shadows in a very illogical way, shooting straight at their shadows in the bright firelight, Lu Ming shouted to warn the others.
Unfortunately, he was a step too slow. Everyone except Bajaton, including himself, was viciously lashed out by the shadows shot at them by the three monsters, leaving a wound on their bodies that kept bleeding!
"Damn it! Jack, heal! Miral, magic attack! Baggetton, use your spells!" Clutching the wound inflicted by the shadow, Lu Ming angrily began giving orders. He also started retaliating with the seed machine gun.
"Restore!" "Fireball!" "Flame Hammer!" "Seed Machine Gun!"
Under Lu Ming and the others' counterattack, one of the three monsters was killed in an instant.
However, at that moment, another monster suddenly burst out of the wall on the second floor of the building! It jumped towards the four of them as if it wanted to give them a warm hug.
It's unclear whether he was faking it before. When Baghedon saw the monster leap towards them, he immediately slammed it to the ground with his graveyard greatsword, nearly cleaving it in two!
"Wow! You've changed your personality?" Lu Ming complained about the inconsistency in Bajedon's character, then fired a seed machine gun and wiped out all the monsters.
"When I was thinking of a solution, it suddenly occurred to me that if I'm not even as good as Miral, I won't be able to find someone I like in the future, so I came here." After slapping the monster he had almost killed with his graveyard greatsword once more, finally killing it completely, Bajdon touched his helmet, which resembled an onion, and laughed.
"Although it took you a while to figure things out, it's not bad that you figured it out before we had to fight the four-armed guards," Lu Ming said with a smile, patting Bajedon on the shoulder.
"..." Jack and Miral looked at them speechlessly.
"Alright, let's go in and see what's inside!" Perhaps noticing Jack and Miral's gazes, Lu Ming touched his nose and walked towards the building where the monsters were lurking.
"it is good."
As a result, Lu Ming and his companions found nothing except a few pieces of ghost stone.
Left with no other choice, the group had to continue on their way.
After clearing out most of the monsters in the entire Miharbor, Lu Ming and his group arrived in front of an iron gate.
Because the iron gate was locked, Lu Ming and the others were considering whether to break it down. But when they peeked through the crack in the iron gate and saw a large number of arrows raining down on the room behind it, almost everyone unanimously decided: break it down!
"Live!" With a heavy swing of his graveyard greatsword, Baghedon cleaved open the iron door of the room.
Upon entering the room, Lu Ming and the others carefully counted the arrows piled up inside, discovering that there were tens of thousands of arrows!
But before Lu Ming could take out his phone to put away the arrows, Miral, Jack, and Baggetton pulled out three phones similar to Lu Ming's and asked Lu Ming, who was completely dumbfounded, "With so many arrows here, we'll have no problem taking them all, right?"
“…” Staring blankly at the flip phone in Miral’s hand, the high-end smartphone in Jack’s hand, and the first-generation smartphone in Bajerton’s hand, Lu Ming nodded dumbly.
Seeing Lu Ming nod, the three teammates each took a portion of the arrows. However, perhaps because they weren't very skilled with bows, the total number of arrows each person took was less than three thousand. Each person took only 999 arrows.
"Vaglan's Poison Arrow: A poisoned arrow with a deadly venom."
It is said that when Vargran made poison arrows, he would soak the arrowheads in the venom of Arbok.
After glancing at the more than seven thousand poisoned arrows piled up in a compartment, Lu Ming finally snapped out of his shock and asked the others, "What's going on with your cell phones?"
"They're from the Youth Cult. Everyone who joins receives one. Even though it can only be used as a package, it's still very convenient, isn't it?"
Jack's answer brought tears to Lu Ming's eyes. Even though it only had a package function, where did the Green Cult guys get all these phones? Did the Green Guardians get them by hunting down transmigrators from other factions during their law enforcement duties? How many transmigrators would they have to kill to have enough to give one to every person who joined the Green Cult?
"Are you all from the Green Cult?" Suppressing his unease, Lu Ming asked Miral and the others.
Jack shook his head and laughed, "No. I'm from the White Cult. I got my phone because I helped people from the Green Cult."
At that moment, Baggetton and Mirall raised their hands and said in unison, "I am a member of the Blue Cult."
“…” Lu Ming looked at Miral and Bajton speechlessly for a while before saying, “Let’s go ring the bell and check on that guy in the middle of the harbor.”
"okay."
Although the Blue Cult was the first faction at the start of the game, it has always been a large force thanks to the protection of the Blue Guardians. For cowards like Bazett and Miral, who are neither particularly strong nor particularly weak, the Blue Cult is a pretty good faction, at least they don't have to worry too much about invasions.
But could an invasion happen here outside the game world? Lu Ming didn't know, since he had never encountered one before. Or rather, his instance and the world where Miral and the others lived were completely different worlds. After all, when they encountered their first monster, Jack had said that when he came to Mihark in the past, the monsters didn't use Shadow Strike or Night Shadow!
In other words, Lu Ming was assigned to the wrong system, which caused the monsters in the dungeon to become abnormal!
But if that's really the case, what about those soul-devouring ghosts of Plu? Why do they possess evil fluctuations? And why do those Dark Cursed Ones also possess evil fluctuations?
Chapter 3 - Dungeon [Miharbor]
Slowly walking to the center of the Mihark docks, intending to talk to the person who seemed to be a magic mentor, I discovered that this person had been petrified by something.
When they first saw him from a distance, the distance was too great for them to notice that beneath the thick clothing was a stone statue. This greatly disappointed them, because if he were a decent person, they could at least have recruited him. Unfortunately...
"Wait a minute! What is this thing?" Just as he was about to ring the bell to summon the ghost ship, Lu Ming suddenly saw something inside the statue's clothes. He stopped the others and lifted the statue's clothes.
"What are these balls?" Bucketton asked, somewhat puzzled, as Lu Ming took a curling iron and two small red and white balls out of the statue's arms.
"These things are useless to you. You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Lu Ming shook his head, not explaining the purpose of the two empty Poké Balls, and brushed it off.
His perfunctory attitude made others somewhat unhappy, and they began to look at him strangely.
Upon seeing this, he immediately changed the subject, drawing everyone's attention to the scroll.
"This thing seems to be a magic scroll for the Soul Gun. Miral, can you learn it?"
"Soul Gun? What's that?" Miral looked at the magic scroll Lu Ming handed her, tilted her head, and asked.
"What!? You don't know what the Soul Gun is?" Lu Ming and Jack stared blankly at Miral for a while before exclaiming in shock.
Bajerton raised his hand: "I don't know either!"
"Soul Spear is a powerful spell among the soul magic of the Dragon Academy! As a mage, even if you're not a mage from Piheim, you should have heard of it, right?!" Jack shook Miral and Baggetton frantically, unable to accept their ignorance.
Seeing Miral's eyes were now like mosquito coils, Lu Ming patted Jack and reminded him, "If this keeps up, those two will be back at the campfire!"
Jack then separated the two unreliable guys, leaving them, who were already dizzy, to collapse on the dock.
"I'll ring the bell first and call the ghost ship over. You stay here and protect them. We'll talk about the four-armed guards on the ship after they wake up." Seeing that Miral and Baggetton wouldn't wake up anytime soon, Lu Ming went to ring the bell himself.
As Lu Ming walked step by step toward the call bell, he subconsciously looked around warily, even at Jack and his companions.
But perhaps he was overthinking it; Jack and the others had absolutely no interest in him.
Standing in front of the call bell, Lu Ming gazed at the ghost ship in the distance, its eerie blue lanterns glowing. He took a deep breath, then forcefully pulled down the rope of the call bell, ringing the bell that hung high above.
Amidst the melodious ringing of the ship-calling bells, the ghost ship slowly sailed towards Michon Harbor and finally came to rest on the dock.
"Four-armed guardians, I wonder how easy it is to fight them. It's a pity there's no way out, otherwise I wouldn't want to risk my life like this..." After the ghost ship stopped, Lu Ming slowly walked towards where Jack and the others were.
Before he even got close, Lu Ming could hear Jack introducing the Four-Armed Guardians to Mirall and Baggetton from afar.
