Meanwhile, Mil's three companions stared at Mil as if they had seen a ghost. This guy actually knew the owner of this place? And it was this hotel that didn't look cheap at all.

"Never mind, you wait here, I'll go get my dad." With that, the young man went into a room.

While the young man went to find his father, the others took a good look around the place.

The environment here is indeed very nice. Just entering the lobby gives them a comfortable feeling. The architecture and decorations here are very artistic, and it seems that they have been carefully researched.

"I still can't believe this guy knows the owner of a shop like this," Xia Ye said, echoing the thoughts of the other two.

"What kind of talk is that?" Mil crossed his arms and glanced at her sideways. "My mother is, after all, the dean of the world's number one academy, you know."

They bring up their background at the drop of a hat, and they even have the nerve to do it?

His current appearance reminded Xia Ye of the socialite who once said, "My godfather is the mayor."

At that moment, the bartender walked over with a young man who also had a cold and aloof demeanor.

The young man looked like he'd seen a ghost as soon as he saw Mir.

"Holy crap! What are you doing here?"

Although his son had told him, it didn't stop him from looking like he'd seen a ghost when he saw Mil in person; his expression was anything but welcoming.

"What kind of talk is that?" Mil said, displeased. "Is this how you speak to your savior?"

Upon hearing this, the shop owner covered his face as if he had a headache. Yes, this kid had indeed saved him, although the process wasn't pleasant.

That day, he was eating a piece of fruit his son had brought from out of town. He had never seen the fruit before, but it looked somewhat like an apple. His snake clan had a habit of taking a couple of bites and swallowing it whole, and he had followed that habit. However, the fruit was too hard, and it got stuck in his throat. Although snakes could swallow food whole, the fruit was simply too big. (If this is inaccurate, consider it a custom of snakes from another world.)

Just as he was about to die on the spot, Mil arrived. He immediately saw the innkeeper lying on the ground, clutching his neck and convulsing, and gave him a first aid punch.

The hotel owner was successfully hospitalized after being punched, but he was also saved as a result.

"But you said you'd charge me a super low price from now on." Mil picked his nose, but found nothing.

Since he became a doll and a loli, he has lost a lot of fun in life. For example, now he can't even pick his nose anymore. Needless to say, he can't pick his nose when he is a doll, and he can't even pick it when he is a loli. When he tried to pick his nose in the loli form, Eileen saw him and grabbed his hand and gave him a lecture.

He casually wiped his hand, which had been picking his nose, on the counter, and looked at the cold, sullen boss in front of him with a sly expression, saying:

"You're not going to back out, are you?"

"Of course I won't go back on my word." The innkeeper sighed. It was true that the other party had saved him, and he had indeed made such a promise.

"I understand, it's just the four of you, right? But there are only two double rooms left."

See, whenever the protagonist in a novel stays at a hotel, he encounters this situation: limited rooms and such. Now, even Uncle Mill has run into this problem.

“That’s perfect. Xia Ye and I will share a room, and Mir and Carlo can share a room,” Xiao Lu suggested for the others.

"Huh?!" ×2

Carlo and Mir stared at each other with horrified expressions.

Chapter Seventy-Six 666

Monsters are a general term in other worlds for creatures that may develop intelligence after birth. Whether they are humans, elves, or beastmen, they are born with intelligence, so they are not classified as monsters, but as "spiritual beings" who can communicate in normal society.

Monsters that have not awakened their intelligence will not be accepted by the spirits. Some monsters that have awakened their intelligence but disdain communicating with the spirits and remain in their original form will be driven away when they approach the city-states of the spirits. Some inferior monsters may even become the spirits' meal.

Outside the city of Ur, a large group of low-level demons were attracted by the large amount of magic that had appeared earlier. They did not understand what was attracting them and simply followed their instincts.

Actually, a group of adventurers had already driven them away before Mil and his group arrived, but another group came. Perhaps because they couldn't keep up with the previous group of monsters, or perhaps because they lived further away, the monsters that arrived late were all frogs.

Mil and his teammates' current task is to clear out these frogs; if they can drive them away, they'll drive them away, and if they can't, they'll kill them.

The environment in the wild was nice, but the grass, reaching up to their thighs, made Xia Ye and Carlo feel itchy. Mil, however, seemed unaffected. Finding frogs in such an environment should have been difficult, as it should have been…

Xia Ye silently stared at the frog in front of her, which was probably as tall as a one-story building.

The frog's color blends with the surrounding grass, giving it a natural camouflage effect, but its height doesn't really allow it to hide in such a place.

"Is this what we're after?" Xia Ye asked the others to confirm.

"That's right, this thing is called a Bigmouth Frog, and it's considered a low-level monster. Let's finish this quickly so we can go back and eat!"

Looking at the enormous creature before her, Xia Ye felt somewhat at a loss. As a girl who grew up in a mountain village, Xia Ye had naturally had a lot of interaction with frogs. Although the frogs she had encountered before had made her feel somewhat disgusted, they were at least within an acceptable range. However, this thing in front of her amplified that feeling of disgust countless times.

The frog's eyes, which were even larger than Xia Ye's head, were wide open. Its dull appearance was completely contrary to the normal aesthetic sense. Its cheeks bulged, and its croak, which should have been slightly crisp, sounded somewhat muffled when amplified countless times. What was most unbearable was the layer of mucus on its surface.

The kind that looks like you don't want to touch.

"Do you often deal with things like this?" Xia Ye's tone sounded somewhat unnatural.

“Not very often,” Carlo said, taking his chain out of his bag. “Most of the time, I’m investigating things.”

Mir opened his long, narrow package. Xia Ye had always been curious as to why this guy had put the sword in the package, and now she finally knew.

Mil pulled a red-painted crowbar from his bag. The crowbar looked old and was bent in the middle.

"What kind of sword is this? Does the definition of a sword in this other world differ from that in the real world?" Xia Ye seized the opportunity to complain.

“That’s right, it’s a sword.” Mill brandished the crowbar to test its feel. “This is the holy sword of physics!”

Completely baffled! Xia Ye rolled her eyes inwardly. If this guy wore a weird mask, he could easily be a perverted serial killer.

But after both of them drew their weapons, Xia Ye silently looked at his hands, then at the slimy frog in front of him. He hadn't prepared any weapons because he thought he wouldn't know how to use them, and now he was starting to regret it.

Unlike the three who were preparing for battle, Xiaolu, the teacher, leisurely took out a blanket, spread it on the lawn, lay down on it, and put a drink to her lips. Her task was to watch them fight and give her evaluation. If they were in danger, she would protect them. In other words, if there was no danger at all, she could just rest and complete the mission. In this way, she could also split the reward with Mir and the others.

Mir spat in Xiaolu's direction, annoyed, but missed because he wasn't far enough away. Xiaolu raised an eyebrow at him and then scribbled a few notes in her notebook.

"Tsk."

Ignoring her retaliatory behavior, Mir swung his crowbar and charged at the group of frogs, hitting the frog closest to him with the crowbar.

"Hey! Wait..." Carlo tried to stop him, but it was too late.

"Croak~"

Frog: What happened? I was leisurely sunbathing when suddenly a mob appeared and beat me up?

Mil grabbed a crowbar and started smashing the frog repeatedly. He had intended to kill one frog to scare the others away, but things obviously didn't go as planned.

When you're playing a game and you and your teammates are all grouped together, and some idiot on the other side charges into your group and beats up your ADC, while his teammates are far away and outnumber you, do you abandon your teammates and run away, or do you take down that idiot?

The latter is the obvious choice.

Then Mir discovered that the group of giant, slimy frogs not only didn't run away, but instead charged towards him menacingly. It has to be said that the leaping of hundreds of giant frogs was truly spectacular, and the ground even began to tremble.

"Quack quack quack—"

Then Mir was ganged up on by the frogs, while one of his teammates was dumbfounded and didn't realize what was happening, and another covered his face and lowered his head.

Xiao Lu looked at the frogs gathered in a large circle and remained silent for a moment before jotting down a few notes in her notebook.

"I already said I'd wait a bit," Carlo said helplessly.

Doesn't this guy know how to use guerrilla tactics? But it's fine, having this tanky guy draw fire means no one will interfere with his output.

"freeze!"

Carlo swiftly swung the iron chain in his hand, and the frogs entangled by his chain turned into ice sculptures at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xia Ye looked at her hands again, and at the slime on the frog's body.

"666—"

She helplessly shouted "666" to cheer on the two main players.

Xiao Lu, standing to the side, helplessly noted down Xia Ye's performance in her little notebook, realizing that her personal instruction over the past two weeks had been completely ineffective.

After losing nearly a third of their teammates, the frogs realized that they had been attacking the enemy's tank the whole time, and judging from his expressionless face, he didn't seem to have lost much health. They had let the enemy's damage dealers attack from the sidelines for so long.

The frogs, realizing what was happening, looked at Xia Ye and the others with ill intent.

Chapter 77 The Preferences of Ability Users

Although it took some effort, lower-level monsters are still lower-level monsters. Even if their numbers are much greater than Mil's, as long as they don't just stand there waiting for them to kill them, they can still take them all down.

However, since the three of them currently lacked any ranged area-of-effect attacks, they still expended considerable resources to clear out all the frogs within their field of vision, and by then the afternoon had already passed.

Xia Ye stared at the slime covering his body with a dark expression. Due to Mir's impulsiveness, the group of frogs banded together to attack them. Although they were almost all killed in the end, they were inevitably covered in slime while surrounded.

It smells rotten.

"Alright, that's enough for today. We can clean up the south side of the city tomorrow." Xiao Lu clapped her hands to indicate that they could rest.

The other three looked at her with mournful eyes. While they were surrounded by the frogs, she was leisurely drinking her beverage. For some reason, the frogs didn't notice her at all.

"Don't look at me like that. Teachers have their own tasks too. Do you know how hard I work writing in my notebook?"

"Oh ho ho~" Mil let out a strange laugh, "Teacher Lu has really worked hard, I'm so touched, I want to give you a big hug!!"

Mir, covered in frog slime, charged toward Lulu.

"Don't come any closer... Don't come any closer!!!" Xiao Lu took off running.

However, Mil's ability lies in speed. He caught up with the mysterious Little Lu as soon as she started moving and gave her a smelly hug.

Covered in slime, Xiao Lu lay listlessly on the ground, muttering to herself.

"It's over, I'll never get married..."

"Hey, if you want to stay here, then keep lying down. We're going back to take a shower."

Mir sniffed herself and found it stinky. This was something that never happened when she was in her loli form. Even if she got dirty, only her clothes were dirty. The slime and stuff wouldn't stick to her skin. She could just shake it off. After taking off her clothes, she was still a clean and innocent child.

All four of them were wearing single-layer clothing. After all, no one would wear a thick cotton-padded coat in the summer, no matter how heat-resistant they were. The sticky substance on the single-layer clothing made it feel quite uncomfortable to wear.

When they returned to the hotel, the hotel owner looked at them with a complicated expression, as if they had gone out and messed around.

Since each room in the hotel has a fairly spacious bathroom, it's not a problem for two people to shower together. But things went wrong at Mir's place.

"Hey, I'm going to take a shower first, then I'll let you come over," Mir said rudely to Carlo.

"Huh?" Carlo looked at him in disbelief. "Why go through all this trouble? We can just shower together."

“Well…” Mil looked at Carlo seriously, “Just take it as me saying I’m looking down on you.”

"What? What? I'm being nice by not complaining about you, and you still have the nerve to complain about me? Besides, it's really uncomfortable to stay here all sticky! Hey! Listen to me! Who do you think is responsible for this situation?"

Mir ignored the nerdy guy behind her who was making sarcastic remarks and went straight to the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

Taking a bath was a bit troublesome for him, who was in the form of a doll. He first gave his somewhat creepy-looking body a quick rinse, and then disassembled himself into pieces to wash the inside of his joints. If anything was stuck inside, it would make it very inconvenient for him to move around.
