The alchemist placed "Night" and the sword on the enchantment table, performed some operations that were too complicated for Lin to understand, and then prepared to push the operating lever next to the enchantment table.

"and many more."

Interrupting the alchemist, Rin pointed at the lever and asked, "Does it just take a push?"

Seeing the alchemist nod, he felt a little happy: "Then let me do it."

The alchemist hesitated, but after thinking about it, he decided it wouldn't hurt anything, so he nodded and agreed: "But don't touch anything else except this lever."

He pushed it casually, and as the various gems on the enchantment table flickered, his sword also trembled, and it took a while before it returned to calm.

Rin raised her katana and took a look. Thanks to her invincible luck, she succeeded easily. Then she tried the kotachi. After the old method was successful, even the alchemist felt that Rin had extraordinary luck.

Lin thought about it and realized that with his extremely high attack power that could hit a critical hit with every strike of his sword, as well as his updated equipment and 360° evasion, it didn't seem like a problem for him to fight a small boss alone.

The next step is to transfer all your equipment to the best attributes.

As the alchemist looked horrified and numb, Lin updated the attributes of all his equipment. He instantly felt the pleasure of having all his equipment covered in dark gold after only reaching level 3 in Diablo 10.

With a wave of his hand, he placed dozens of gold coins on the table. Just as Lin was about to leave happily, she was grabbed by the alchemist.

"Adventurer! Please don't leave! How about... taking a part-time job in my shop specializing in enchanting? I can pay you a salary and a commission!"

Chapter 49: Boss Tongzi, please guide me!

"Gentle, you're using too much force!"

"Wait... focus more!"

"Hurry up... No no, go slower next time."

The rough and heroic voice almost sounded like a wail, echoing throughout the entire blacksmith shop. The boss and the blacksmith's dark faces were covered with beads of sweat, with faint red visible. They were breathing heavily and staring at the young man in front of them.

Well, this was his newest apprentice, an adventurer from another world, a child named Jingu Rin.

Rin, who is lucky enough to open treasure chests on at least 999 roads and cannot stay in this city for too long and doesn't want to waste time, is currently learning from a blacksmith how to forge... and how to refine weapons.

I heard that it would take at least several years to learn even the basics of this skill. I felt that I had paid so much tuition and I couldn't waste my youth on selling my house and iron. So Rin just bought a more comprehensive book on forging, listened to some basic knowledge, and decided to do it himself.

He casually threw a small pile of black iron ore into the smelter, placed the knife on it in a nonchalant manner, and was ready to strike it, which made the blacksmith grit his teeth, as if he was looking at an unlearned prodigal son.

"I've already told you! You don't have to spend money like this. You're following the wrong steps! Also, the temperature! Wait... it's time to melt the slag... eh?"

However, what made him get his words stuck in his throat and stare in amazement was that after Lin casually tapped it a few times and poured ice water on it, the knife actually emitted a white light and made a soft hum. It was clearly the sound of successful refining, and the white light was even longer than when he had refined it in the past.

Lin checked the attributes and found that he was lucky, so he directly increased it to +3. Then he continued to smelt the silver ore and asked casually, "What is the highest level of equipment refinement?"

The stunned blacksmith swallowed his saliva, staring at his hand, and answered subconsciously: "20 times... but the probability is very low. Only the most famous forging master on the continent has the chance to forge..."

"Oh……"

Lin followed the old rules, hammering more casually, and after a few hammerings, before watering, the sword emitted white light again. Well, this time it was upgraded to +5.

Then, with the blacksmith boss's look as if he had seen the mistress of the goddess of luck, he kept changing ores and materials, and upgraded the two weapons all the way to +17.

The attributes had increased by dozens of times, but Lin was still not satisfied. Unfortunately, materials above +18 did not exist in the entire Broccoli City, and even if he sold weapons from boxes and spent all his money, he could not afford even one of them.

"Oh yeah...it seems like it can be inlaid."

After drilling a hole with a drill stone, Lin placed the ice gem as a reward on the hole. As the boss seemed to be hesitant to speak, the gem naturally merged with the sword, leaving a blue straight line on the sword's groove. It was chilling and glowing, and looked very beautiful.

I checked the properties and found that it not only adds freezing magic damage, but also has a slowing effect, which feels pretty good.

Unfortunately, with his current wealth, he doesn't have the money to upgrade other equipment, so he can only wait until next time. But at least he has two weapons with +17 attributes that can catch up to level 80, which are enough in the early and middle stages.

So, he turned around and prepared to go out. The blacksmith was just a little bit away from reaching his ankle, but he failed. He could only lie on the ground and look up at the adventurer from another world walking away.

He stopped by the guild to find a skill master, but after looking around, he couldn't find any suitable skills. Thinking of the embarrassing scene when he was ignored by the wolf in the past, Lin finally learned a relatively low-level "provocation", well, the kind with average probability.

After returning to the castle, Rin discovered that a certain erotic writer was already fast asleep, so she had no choice but to ask about the areas where monsters were densely populated, and then prepare to go there to practice... and level up.

It took a lot of time to find materials for forging, and after such a long period of rest and wandering, he estimated that he had fallen behind by at least five or six levels. It was time to send himself back.

There is an area in the wild called the Snake Valley. As the name suggests, there are poisonous snakes everywhere, and the average level is generally level 12. Currently, the players who have come to West Blue Flower City are about level or . They could have leveled up in a team, but due to the monopoly, the cost of the antidote is too high. Now the poor players can only afford a few bottles, so this place has become a restricted area, which is more in line with Lin's idea of ​​a good place to level up.

The valley is not big, shaped like a gourd. You can smell a sweet and fishy smell as soon as you enter the entrance. It seems that a unique kind of flower and grass has attracted poisonous snakes to take root and reproduce in large numbers.

The valley was only the size of two or three playgrounds, and Lin could see at a glance that there was a familiar figure leveling up in the valley.

She was agile, her sword was sharp, and her moves were bold. She could handle two or three poisonous snakes with ease. She was the black-haired girl that Lin had seen before.

After thinking about it, it was decided that having multiple people competing for monsters would affect experience, so it would be better to form a team. So Lin invited the other party. After the other party killed the golden ring snake in front of him, he was stunned for a while and then agreed to join the team.

It was not until this time that Rin knew the other party's game name.

"Tong...Tongzi?"

Even the name sounds familiar...

wrong!

Rin's head suddenly exploded. Isn't this the girly version of Kirito that was everywhere in the forums and ACG fandoms in his previous life!? No wonder this face looks so familiar. Now that he looks closer, they are exactly alike!

What the hell is wrong with this world? You changed a crappy online game into a fairy tale, and you even didn't let Kirito go! What a good kid!

Rin, who had calmed down, had already approached Kiriko. He thought of other possibilities in his mind and scratched his cheek: "You, a girl?" Kiriko was stunned, her face full of confusion, and she pulled the corner of her lips a little unhappy: "...I don't know what rude thing you are thinking about. I am a little boyish, but I am still a girl. It's not good to talk to someone I just met like this, right?"

Originally, the character holding Kirito was mistakenly identified as a female due to her soft facial lines. Now it seems that she has been completely feminized. Come to think of it... Even if it was a misidentification, she would not have been given a very feminine name like Kiriko.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm sorry, because you look too much like someone I knew before, but that was a boy... Ahem, forget about these unpleasant things and prepare to level up."

Kiriko temporarily forgot about the unpleasantness and became a little worried about Rin's level. Then, she was stunned.

A certain cheater provoked four snakes on the spot, and then the four snakes rushed forward and accidentally got entangled together not far in front of Lin's feet, twisting into a hemp rope and unable to separate each other. So Lin easily killed the four snakes with one knife.

Looking at the extreme number "Critical Hit! -9999" above the snake's head, Tongzi was silent. The maximum blood volume of this snake is only a few hundred drops... Could this somewhat puzzling boy in front of him be the GM?

Finally, she stood there in confusion for a while, and had to start the job of luring monsters, luring all the surrounding poisonous snakes into Lin's provocation range, and then watched the snakes all entangled together or biting each other until they lost their fighting power, and finally stepped forward to help kill them.

Kiriko understood that although leveling up this way was as refreshing as riding a rocket... but on the other hand it would slowly consume a person's reaction ability and sword skills. Fortunately, this double-edged sword would not last long, and the temporary team would eventually be disbanded.

Chapter 50 Tongzi: Boss, you are joking. You should lead me.

They rocketed all the way to level 15, and even Tongzi reached level . Seeing that it was already dusk, the two ended the battle.

I have to say that although one of them was still in a daze as if dreaming until they had been killing monsters in a team for several hours because he met a feminine version of the protagonist, and the other person felt that the other person was a GM the more he looked at him, the cooperation between the man and the woman was particularly tacit, and it didn't look like the first time they had teamed up, but rather like an elite team that had been working together for a long time.

Um... just talking about Kiriko luring the monsters, Rin taking over and then making all the monsters stupid, this is a seamless connection and a very tacit understanding.

After putting away his weapon, Kiriko looked at Rin with an inquiring look in his black eyes. After hesitating for a while, he half-jokingly said, "With this kind of luck... I now think you are almost as good as a GM."

In this world, GMs are not good people just by their identities, so Tongzi naturally wouldn't ask openly, but just hinted at it.

Since we are forming a team, we should naturally prepare thousands of reasons.

Lin shook his head seriously and pointed at his nose: "If I were a GM, why would I have to fight so hard in the wild..."

Although the word "desperately" didn't seem like the right word, it sounded reasonable, and Tongzi nodded.

"Actually, I don't know why, but it seems like my hidden luck is particularly high, just like what you saw."

She said something half-truthful and honestly, but seeing that she still had a skeptical expression, Rin shrugged. Regardless of whether it was Kirito or Kiriko, they were still the trustworthy and likable protagonists in Sword Art Online, which was why he felt so friendly and took the initiative to approach them.

After distributing the dropped materials, it was time to go their separate ways. Lin took one last look at the girl, whose face was full of seriousness and determination, and hesitated for a moment.

"You, do you want to team up with me? I have a side quest."

I had been planning to give it a try, but it didn't work. After all, in my impression, Kirito is a loner. Not only does he have excellent leadership skills in team battles, but most importantly, he is meticulous and cautious. It's normal for me to be wary and repulsive when I get close to a guy like him who seems to have cheated.

Besides, Rin herself is a person who likes to be alone. She just feels a sense of closeness towards her favorite anime protagonists. It doesn't matter even if they fail to form a team.

After shrugging and saying goodbye to Tongzi, the two of them parted ways.

I don't know when we'll meet next time, ahem, maybe tomorrow...

……

"So, the side quest you mentioned is actually this?"

In the hall of the castle, Tongzi's eyes twitched and he felt extremely complicated.

God knows after a series of side quests, she finally found some clues, and then found a newspaper through various channels, and finally found the line of Princess Snow White. After investigating in Broccoli City and bribing the guards, she finally realized with great difficulty that Princess Snow White was in Broccoli Castle.

Unexpectedly, just when I found an excuse to finally meet Princess Snow White, I saw this familiar face next to her. This face looked like a GM who had used cheats and modified the game at will.

Rin didn't expect that she and Kiriko had such a predestined relationship. She touched her nose and looked at the blinding red boots of Viscount Broccoli: "Well... my mission is to escort Princess Snow White to the Kingdom of Dia. I saw that you have great sword skills and are a good person, so I was going to invite you to join us. So, are you willing to form a team now?"

He did not say that he was going to travel the entire continent. Firstly, he felt that setting such a long-term goal at the beginning of the plot would easily scare people away. Secondly, Tongzi was unwilling to do so, and he did not want to trick her. At worst, they could go their separate ways when they arrived in the Dia Kingdom.

What could Kiriko say? It was obvious that an important side storyline of the game, and even an important plot that was suspected to be the main storyline, was right in front of her. Could she refuse?

Okay, okay, you are the boss and you have the final say, boss, just lead me to win without any effort.

"Okay... then, let's form a team, but I want my teammates to be the most trustworthy people I can trust, at least until this branch quest is completed."

Lin stretched out his hand and prepared to high-five her, but he was so shocked by the words coming from all the protagonists that he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the other person's slightly cold hand had already touched his.

Witnessed by Princess Snow White and Viscount Broccoli, the two temporarily became teammates and will surely become a pair of good friends that will be passed down through the ages in the future.

There was one more person in the team, a girl. Princess Snow White seemed even happier than Rin. She reached out and patted their hands, feeling full of energy.

"Well, let's go! I have a good plan! Let's get in the car!"

Viscount Broccoli, who was very satisfied with the little book, treated Lin and others very kindly, like family members. He not only prepared a sturdy carriage with some magical special effects, but also specially prepared some gold, silver and jewelry.

What are magic stunts?

Elite warhorse, automatic navigation, automatic route finding, horse voice broadcast, stable vehicle, that's all for now, sounds like it cost a lot of money.

Sitting in the carriage which was three times larger than before, Princess Snow-White had a look of happiness on her face. After inviting Rin and Kiriko to take their seats, she said goodbye to Viscount Broccoli reluctantly. The three of them officially set out on their journey.

Rin was quite happy to be able to invite the protagonist to join the team so quickly. He didn't know if it was because he had developed a bad habit after spending too much time with the gaming fanatic, but his head was now full of simulations of various scenarios after Kiriko and Motokina met, and he felt inexplicably gloating.

While he was daydreaming, Princess Snow White spread out the map of the entire ring in the middle, pointed to their current location with her slender finger, and then drew a line to the north.

"It's too boring to just go to the Dia Continent. I have an idea. This place, the Dark Forest, has become a restricted area because a lot of women were raped after mistakenly entering it not long ago. We can go there and look for new materials. After crossing the Dark Forest, we can reach the Kingdom of Lifan. The king there is a famous lewd king who loves women and has left behind many deeds. I also plan to collect them. After crossing Lifan, we will reach Dia."

"Um, materials?"

Apparently, Kiriko only knew one of Princess Snow White's identities. Rin looked at Princess Snow White and after she nodded in agreement, she explained, "The princess we are escorting is not only the only princess of the Lily Kingdom, but also the most famous... ahem, novelist, Snow, in the entire continent."

"That erotic novelist?!"

Tongzi had read the report, but she didn't connect them together. She was quite surprised to hear this, but she had a very good psychological quality and soon regained her composure: "I understand."

Isn’t it just the princess writing a little H book... It’s no big deal, just ignore it.

Lin cleared his throat and said, "Let me add one thing. I agree with the princess' idea, but it's not for the materials. The queen's bounty has been issued, and a large number of people are gathering to find the princess. Although you, Tongzi, choose to stand on this side, there are also players who choose to help the queen. In addition, the border is blocked, so our situation is still very dangerous."

"So, if we sneak through the restricted area, we can leave the country without anyone noticing. With my luck, we will be safe."

Everyone understood what he said before, so it was nothing. But the last sentence made the two girls nod with sincere emotion.

There is nothing to worry about if you follow the big boss.

Chapter 51 So the protagonist became the one who could not be provoked

Along the way, Princess Snow White scratched her head countless times because of writer's block. Every time she collapsed to the point of bloodshot eyes, she could only look to Rin for help. After spending a lot of materials to get some inspiration from the game fanatic, she continued to write.

Thanks to the magic that blessed the carriage, it was so stable that she could start her writing life.

As for Lin, he was half leaning against the bed, chatting with his ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend every day to consolidate their relationship, or chatting with a gaming fanatic and listening to his teachings.

For example: Even if Kirito is so awesome that he can write a book that will last for ten thousand years, you should not pay attention to him. Even if you meet Honzina, you should always remember that the prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. How can a rich and beautiful woman have such a good personality? So you should stay away from her. Aren't yuri versions of Kiriko and Honzina a good match?

Advice like this has almost worn a hole in his head over the past five days. I don't know if this guy has been heartbroken recently. He is always daydreaming and acting crazy, and he also looks a bit gay.

Yes, it has been five days since we left Broccoli City. Just think about how big a kingdom was in medieval Europe. The Lily Kingdom is considered big, but not too big. We expect to reach the Dark Forest tonight.

In order to allow Kiriko to hone her sword skills and find a sense of existence under the protection of the super boss, she basically dealt with all the monsters along the way. Even so, there was still a hint of melancholy in this girl's eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

For the past five days, I have only done a few things: fighting monsters and leveling up, fetching water for washing and bathing, and cooking. Even with a boy like Lin, I am not so restrained after getting familiar with him, but I am a little bored.

"Ah! I remembered it!"

Princess Snow White screamed and cried out, with a look of regret on her face. She took out a deck of cards and a large sheepskin that almost covered half of the space in the car.

"This is a game that I paid a lot of money to ask an alchemist to make. I haven't played it yet. Now that everyone is bored, let's play it together!"
