Offer blocks to the end times

“Hmm, this potion that explodes when it comes into contact with water, and this potion that enhances swamp magic,” Wiz recommended, but Thousand Hands felt neither was reliable. “Um, give me five bottles of monster-attracting potions first.”

After the successful transaction, Wiz recommended to Thousand Hands a teleportation talisman to send people to the kingdom's dungeon, a barrier to trap people, a necklace to protect a lover, and all sorts of other miscellaneous items.

However, after asking around carefully, Qian Shou realized that these props were somewhat unreliable, but he still bought them to scam others.

"Oh, by the way, how did your talk with Swan go yesterday?" Thousand Hands asked Wiz as she tidied up the items on the side. If Wiz didn't explain clearly, Thousand Hands wouldn't understand the purpose of these things.

“Ah, that old gentleman,” Wiz said thoughtfully, “though he looked very dignified, he was very kind and gave me a lot of advice.”

"Is that so? That's good." However, seeing that the shop hadn't changed, Senju knew that her suggestion was useless. "Check out, I have something to do."

“Great!” Wiz said happily as he calculated for Thousand Hands, “It’s a total of 8,925,000 Eris.”

"Hmm, here are nine magic silver coins. Keep the change." Thousand Hands paid and left, while Wiz called out from behind, "Thank you for your patronage. Come again next time!"

"I'll be there," Senju waved and left, carrying the monster-attracting potion. After following the map for a while, Senju arrived outside the city. Then, following the river for a while, Senju arrived at his destination, a lake surrounded by a beautiful mountain range.

However, when Senju looked at the lake, he felt uneasy. The lake, which covered a large area, had dark green water flowing in it, and there was a lot of algae on the surface. It looked polluted no matter how you looked at it. Moreover, the crocodiles that Senju wanted to hunt were nowhere to be seen. They should all be hiding at the bottom of the water.

“Then let’s get started,” Senju nodded, looking at the lake. Although he didn’t know where the crocodile was hiding, he had a magic potion that could attract the monster.

However, Senju wouldn't suddenly give himself such a thing. Instead, he summoned a wolf and sprinkled some magic potion on it. But then Senju felt very annoyed by it and couldn't help but hit it with his staff.

"Phew, that's incredibly effective," Thousand Hands finally came to his senses after killing the wolf. Looking at the remaining bottles of medicine, he felt that this was a good way to frame someone.

The lake water next to it churned for a while, but it seemed that the effects of the medicine had worn off and it was about to calm down again. Thousand Hands was speechless for a moment, and then used various spells to bombard the surface of the lake.

The lake water would freeze one moment and boil the next, sometimes crackling with countless sparks, sometimes churning with rocks, turning the lake into complete chaos. Monsters fled, fish and shrimp floated to the surface, and a strange smell slowly wafted from within.

After setting off several fireballs to boil the lake, Senju suddenly remembered a task posted on the bulletin board: 'Purify the lake.' He figured that drying up the entire lake would count as purification.

Then Thousand Hands spotted what appeared to be the target creature—a giant crocodile with purple skin. However, they were still running around erratically, so Thousand Hands sprinkled some magic potion on himself. The erratic monsters finally found their target, and all of them ran, swam, or flew towards them.

After the monsters swarmed in, Senju began chanting a spell: "Sealed Light, Frozen Earth, Fimbulwinter."

A strong chill swept across the area, freezing all the monsters to death. The boiling lake behind them was also frozen in half, while the other side cooled down.

Thousand Hands looked at his quest card, which showed that he had leveled up ten times, eliminated thirty-two crocodiles, and many other creatures.

"The mission is successfully completed," Senju nodded, then went back to prepare to hand in the mission, leaving this matter to the guild.

Back in the city, Senju told Luna about his kill, then watched as Luna's face slowly turned pale. "Um, Lady Senju, you went too far. This means the mission reward will be deducted."

"Huh? Why? I worked so hard, and even eliminated so many monsters outside of the mission," Senju said, dissatisfied. Luna shook her head. "Senju-sama, after you did that, the ecosystem over the lake completely collapsed, and that area..."

The water source is also difficult to use.

“But it’s unusable to begin with. We can just have someone purify it,” Senju said nonchalantly, while Luna looked troubled. “Anyway, we can’t give the bonus to the adults this time. We need to check the situation over there first. If possible, we’ll be fined.”

"Tch, so stingy," Senju was speechless for a while, as if he had gone too far. He ordered some food to comfort himself. A little while later, Sato Kazuma came over and handed him a note, then walked away as if nothing had happened.

"Be careful, someone has issued a mission to explore the castle," it read in Japanese, which Senju could understand to some extent.

After reading the note, Thousand Hands put it away and went to the quest log. There was a newly posted quest: Explore the castle that suddenly appeared in the west of the city. After investigating, you can get 100,000 Eris. P.S. This is the lord's quest, so you have to complete it quickly!

Chapter 550 The Daily Life of a Wanted Criminal

Thousand Hands looked again and noticed a wanted poster next to him. It depicted a strange figure and was wanted for the evil fire mage living in the west of the city who had illegally occupied land and attacked officials under the lord's command. A bounty of 200,000 Eris was offered.

"So cheap," Senju said speechlessly, looking at the two task sheets. Was she really only worth twenty cabbages? Even though those cabbages were really delicious.

However, seeing the portrait that was completely unrecognizable, Senju felt relieved. It was simply wishful thinking to try and catch someone based on such a picture.

Back at the table, Senju continued eating. Although the menu featured many bizarre dishes, Senju chose the ones that looked normal.

However, the people around him were very curious about the chopsticks he was using and started discussing them. Only Aqua and Kazuma Sato knew what they were.

"What's that? Is it some kind of magical item that improves finger dexterity?" Megumin asked, looking at the two who seemed indifferent. Aqua replied nonchalantly, "That's a type of tableware from China called chopsticks."

“Chopsticks, huh? I see,” Darkness said with some disappointment. “I thought they were tools for punishing people. What a pity. By the way, why don’t we try them too?”

"Forget it," Sato Kazuma said, disapproving of her stance. "Chopsticks are too difficult for people from another world like you. Just use a knife and fork properly."

Darkness became even more excited when Kazuma Sato said that, and she immediately ran outside, saying, "Wait a moment, I'll go find some suitable sticks."

Senju glanced at the noisy group of people, then continued eating. After finishing her meal, Senju prepared to go to Wiz's shop to look for some useful tools.

However, Senju encountered Tsubaki, who was setting up a stall on the road. She seemed to be selling weapons and armor. When she saw Senju, her eyes lit up and she came over from the side.

"Hey, Senju, come help me out, pretend to be my customer," Tsubaki called out. Senju walked over speechlessly. "Aren't you at home building things? What are you doing here?"

“Well, this is a new world after all, there are so many new things here, I need to learn,” Tsubaki said with a hearty laugh. “But that requires money, and I’m raising funds right now.”

"It's faster to just do the tasks directly," Senju complained. "Or I could help you out with some."

“That makes sense,” Chun scratched her head. “But I don’t understand the writing and language here. I’m not one of those elves who learns so quickly. Communication is a problem for me now.”

“Well, that makes sense,” Senju nodded speechlessly. He had also forgotten that they couldn’t communicate with the people of this world. Senju took out a talisman. “Here, this is a talisman with ‘speech comprehension’ added. Wearing it will allow you to understand what others are saying.”

“Oh, this is a convenient tool,” Tsubaki said, examining it closely. “Just now, two young ladies came over to talk to me, but they left in a huff because they couldn’t get through to me.”

“Is that so?” Senju was speechless for a moment. “But this can only understand spoken words; it can’t understand written words.”

“Don’t worry, I can ask around,” Chun started packing up her stall when two women suddenly appeared beside her. “We are police officers. You are suspected of illegally selling weapons. Come with us.”

"Ah, it's you guys! I can finally understand you," Chun laughed heartily. "But selling weapons privately is too outrageous. See you again sometime!"

After packing up her stall, Chun ran off at top speed, with the two policemen chasing after her. "Wait, don't run!"

Senju watched the three run away speechlessly. He continued to look for Wiz according to the original plan. After entering the prop shop, he found that there were customers inside. Senju also started to pick out items there.

The chaotic array of props and medicines on the table was an eye-opener for Qian Shou, and even the system couldn't recognize these bizarre items.

After the customer left empty-handed, Senju was already carrying a pile of props. He wanted to try out what these things could be combined into, and if all else failed, he could still use them to scam people.

"Lord Senju, do you want these?" Wiz looked at Senju expectantly, and Senju nodded. "Please introduce them to me first."

Wiz then introduced the product to him, a magnifying glass that can see through other people's thoughts, but your own thoughts will also be seen by the other person.

A deck of cards that can summon Destroyers, including miniature mobile fortress Destroyer models that can battle each other, is a popular item.

Product.

A bunch of bizarre gadgets, such as a crystal ball that increases friendship by exchanging shameful memories, and a whistle that scares away monsters with a loud sound and then summons even stronger monsters.

Listening to Wiz's explanation, Thousand Hands felt a headache coming on. He looked up at her and said, "Well, let's settle the money first."

"Well, I'll write an instruction manual for the items in the shop," Wiz said timidly. After the transaction was completed, Senju remembered something, "By the way, what exactly does the Demon King's army look like?"

“Although they are basically all monsters, their intelligence is about the same as that of humans,” Wiz said with a sigh. Thousand Hands scratched his head. “What you’re saying sounds familiar. I have a bunch of similar beings in my family.”

"Could you be a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's army?!" Wiz exclaimed in surprise, then shook his head. "The Headless Horseman Bertia, the Poisonous Slime Hans, the Duke of Hell Barnil, the Chimera Sylvia, and their superior Volbach... could you be one of the remaining three?"

"I'm not, and there are two left, okay!" Thousand Hands retorted. "I'm talking about some rational monsters who call themselves heretics. Although they still have many monstrous characteristics, their intelligence is the same as that of humans."

“You’re talking about the Demon King’s army,” Wiz nodded repeatedly. “Sure enough, you and Mr. William are hidden officers of the Demon King’s army. The Demon King must have sent you to investigate me.”

"No way," Senju denied speechlessly, shaking his head as he saw Wiz's disbelieving look. "If you think I'm a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's army, that's fine too; I'll just steal your shop!"

“Wait, guest, this is bothering me. I know you’re not a member of the Demon King’s army,” Wiz said anxiously. Senju then put down the explosive potion and the monster-attracting potion. “It’s good that you believe me.”

"..." Wiz looked teary-eyed and didn't believe Senju's words at all. The two sat down again to drink tea. Senju looked at Wiz and said, "Are all the officers of the Demon King's army like you?"

“No, I was originally a human who transformed into a lich, and the other officers are of different races,” Wiz shook her head, and Thousand Hands followed suit. “But their combat strength should be about the same.”

“Well, I’m a little confident about that,” Wiz said somewhat embarrassedly. Senju nodded. “Then let’s find a place to have a match.”

Chapter 551 Sparring Partner

"Huh?" Wiz was very confused. Thousand Hands put it another way, "It's not about sleeping with someone, I mean, it's about sparring! I can pay ten million for sparring."

"Ten million?" Wiz's eyes started to bulge, then he mumbled a vague agreement, "Okay, it's just sparring."

“Let’s go outside the city,” Thousand Hands suggested, but Wiz ran into the house and started rummaging around. Thousand Hands asked curiously, “What are you doing?”

"I'm getting ready! Let me show you my merchandise," Wiz shouted from inside. A moment later, she came out carrying a full load of items, pulling Thousand Hands along. "Let's go to the dungeon for a duel! Teleport!"

"Teleportation? What an incredibly convenient skill. But are there dungeons around here too?" Thousand Hands muttered to himself, then looked around at the dimly lit environment and took out a bottle of night vision potion. "Wiz, can you see your surroundings clearly?"

“Of course,” Wiz nodded. “Many skills come with night vision, and as a lich, I can see everything in the dark. By the way, I recommend these glasses; they can see creatures in the dark.”

"Really?" Senju took the glasses and looked at them. Sure enough, he could see the creatures around him, but what was with the surrounding void? And Wiz was flashing a blinding light over there, so this was completely unusable!

"Ahem, I'll use my own props then," Senju said, putting away his glasses and revealing his armor. "Let's begin."

After saying this, Qian Shou stretched his finger backward and said, "Arc-shaped ray."

A bluish-white beam of light flew automatically toward Wiz, but was hit by the ice spike she fired. Then, a ring of white mist appeared around them. "Freeze!"

"Oh, that's good," Senju felt his reactions slow down considerably, and the surroundings grew colder. "But in this case, a miniature nuclear fireball!"

As the fireball exploded, the surrounding temperature rose instantly. Wiz immediately countered with a tornado, a pillar of fire rushing towards Senju.

Thousand Hands immediately summoned a wooden wall to block the way, and countless branches attacked Wiz. However, the trees withered after touching Wiz and eventually turned into a giant that bombarded Wiz's ice wall, but was eventually frozen.

“Checkmate, Life Drain,” Wiz’s voice came from behind Senju, and then Senju felt a cool hand touch his neck. “That’s not necessarily true, Sunfire.”

A ring of fire appeared around Senju, and Wiz immediately retreated. "Strange, I can't absorb your physical strength and magic power."

“Well, that’s normal, but this match is over,” Senju said, and wood immediately rose from the ground to bind Wiz. “Seal!”

"This is a magical seal?" Wiz looked at the wooden vines on his body in surprise, then took out a scroll and tore it open. "Barrier Killer, Bottomless Mire!"

The ground turned into a mud pit, and Senju flew up, then looked at Wiz struggling in the mud, "What kind of technique is that? Self-destruction?"

"Hey hey hey!"

"It can fly! That's cheating!" Wiz yelled, about to sink. "Help me!"

“Hmm,” Senju said, pulling her into the air. “But this magic is amazing; it covers such a large area.”

“This is the result of being enhanced with magic potions,” Wiz said pitifully as he continued to recommend products. Thousand Hands, however, had an idea. “Why don’t you help me represent my products, like this teleportation stone?”

Thousand Hands casually crafted two teleportation crystals, then returned to the shop entrance with Wiz. Wiz was somewhat surprised, "Oh, what a convenient item."

“Hmm, but it’s not as convenient as your teleportation magic,” Senju nodded and said, glancing at Wiz, who wasn’t covered in mud at all. “Are all the executives at your level?”

“Judging from their strength just now, those officers should be even stronger,” Wiz said to Senju after making tea. “But you’re quite strong too, about the same as the adventurers at the fortress. They helped the Kingdom’s army defeat the Demon King’s army many times.”

"Are the adventurers over there really that strong?" Senju asked, looking somewhat troubled. Wiz nodded. "Of course. There are many powerful adventurers like you with black hair and black eyes. Many of them have magical items that they call 'cheat codes'."

"Uh, a cheat code, huh?" Senju paused for a moment, "But the kingdom is fighting the Demon King, I feel like I'm just holding them back. Maybe I should just join the Demon King's army."

"Huh, you finally admit it, you really are a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's army!" Wiz looked at Senju in surprise, seemingly not quite understanding his behavior. "Could it be that even you, as a high-ranking officer, have never been to the Demon King's castle, which is why you're throwing a tantrum?"

"What kind of arrogant protagonist are you talking about? I am, but..." Senju complained for a moment, then tried to clarify her position. However, she realized that she had no position at all. Everyone else was fighting to defeat the Demon King for their wishes, so why should she risk her life?

At this moment, Senju felt deeply that his intelligence was insufficient. What did the Demon King's rampage have to do with him? With so many cheat users, he was actually happily thinking about others. Was he out of his mind? Wouldn't it be better to just live a leisurely life?
