Hillock quickly used the little money he had left to buy a bottle of the cheapest water from the vending machine, and Brid drank it gratefully.

"Pay back the money, 4R."

"Ah good."

While scanning the code to Hillock with the ring watch, Brid asked: "Why do you suddenly want to become stronger? This is not like you at all."

"Are you buying this bread as a gift to get help from Dad? You can't impress him with food."

Brid mistook this for a bribe.

The bread impressed Brid.

"It's a meeting gift. My dad asked your dad before and he agreed to help me train. If you have nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

There is no time to waste, so let's follow the free chapter of the 'Experienced Dungeon Explorer Tutorial' to get some basic training.

"Wait, you haven't answered my question yet. If you just want to graduate, just join a random team. There's no need to work hard to become stronger."

Brid is right.

The school credits can be calculated by team. Even if the individual points are not enough, you can still graduate if the team points are enough.

"A dungeon is not a zoo. Monsters will attack, the environment will change from time to time, and traps will be refreshed from anywhere. If you make a mistake once..."

Brid simply didn't want the people around her to suddenly disappear.

"Bride, just like you enjoy the process of gaining power, I also need power for something."

"what's up?"

Kill the minotaurs and protect your family.

Of course you can't say that.

“So that I can buy a house after graduation.”

".....ah?"

This confused Brid.

"But, it is necessary to be an explorer for money and risk one's life..."

"Bride, you know that being an explorer is the easiest profession to make money."

"I know, risking your life to make money. Have you thought about it? The danger is real and inevitable. If you encounter the curse of the death crystal or something like that, you won't even have a complete corpse."

Xiluoke nodded and coughed lightly:

“You’re right, but my dad’s mortgage will take another 30 years to pay off, and he also has to support my sister and me in school, which will take more than 30 years.

I don't want to be a parasite at home in the future.

It’s okay to get enough points in the team and graduate, but that would be an ordinary graduation. If you work in an ordinary company, you won’t make any money. I don’t want to pay off a mortgage for 30 years like my dad did.

My dream is to live in a 100 square meter house with my own down payment.

There is delicious food when you wake up, the latest game console in the room, the hardware and software are all top-notch! The network is smooth and uninterrupted, and the sofa is soft and comfortable.

Never have to go out!

Therefore, money is necessary, the more the better.”

"...Isn't it still a waste of time?!"

Brid woke up instantly, covering her head and feeling speechless:

"As expected, people don't change that easily. But I feel relieved now. This is more like you."

This speech was half true and half false, and Shilok almost convinced himself.

Brid was struggling to think and digest what Shilok said.

It is true that you can make a lot of money by going to the underground city.

Most people just pick up bargains on the first floor, or resell some good dungeon equipment to make a profit.

If you really want to make money from the "Explorer" profession itself, you have to go deeper into the dungeon, and the danger will increase exponentially. It is best to join a high-level guild or join a large organization such as the Tuner.

With this calculation, "graduating from Explorer Academy with excellent grades" and then being discovered and joined by a large company is actually the simplest condition?

Seeing that she was trapped by his nonsense, Shilok quietly left...

"Wait a moment."

Shilok was speechless: It’s not over yet?

Brid quickly stuffed the remaining bread into her mouth: "Huluk, let me help you. No, please let me help you."

"What do you mean by help?"

"That's what you said." Brid licked the crumbs and butter from the corners of her mouth. "Becoming stronger. If you are serious and really have the determination, I can help you.

After all, she is the daughter of a former professional kendo coach, so she can teach you some knowledge related to dungeon combat.

You should also be mentally prepared. I will not show mercy to you during the training just because we are childhood friends."

Hmmmm….

You can get sufficient and reliable training. In the game, Brid is a person of her word. If she says she can do something, she can definitely do it.

But this means spending a long time with Brid, which is too dangerous...

The protagonist's woman was so close to a stranger like him, the players' negative rating rate must have skyrocketed.

No, the target audience of this game is Tauren fans, so the praise rate should be sky-high, right?

Brid saw that Hillock was silent and felt that Hillock was starting to back out again: "If you don't want to..."

"I accept. Please help me, Brid Talos."

Why am I hesitating? I have no choice. I am already in such a mess. What's the point of caring about this? I don't want to be incompetent at the critical moment.

"Oh!"

Brid smiled. Just as she was feeling a little sad that Shilok had really changed, Shilok said something strange that she could never have imagined:

"Let me make it clear first, don't fall in love with me during the training, Brid."

"?....puff..."

Brid was stunned, then suddenly covered her mouth to hold back her laughter, and finally she couldn't help it: "Hahahahahahahahaha——"

Shilok waited patiently for her to smile.

I laughed for a full minute.

"What are you...thinking about? So narcissistic?"

Shilok just looked at her seriously.

Huh? Is he serious?

Brid wiped the tears from her laughter and responded with a serious look:

"Don't worry. I absolutely would not have any thoughts like that about you, not even a little bit, and never will in the future."

She sighed, like a worried brother: "I just don't want you to be surrounded by goblins and become dinner while walking in the dungeon."

“I hope you can really do it.”

The form was different from what Shilok had expected, but at least he got the opportunity and guidance to practice.

It would be perfect if the target wasn't the protagonist's wife...

Shilok adjusted his mood and said, "Let's start today without further ado. Please! Teacher Brid!"

"No problem. ....I really want to say that, but were you injured yesterday? I saw that you seemed to have gone to the infirmary."

As expected of Brid, she actually saw through my disguise...

"Because of the power of love, today is fine. It's Brid who is willing to take the time to help me. I have to thank you for that."

"Love?... Never mind, come with me, the dojo was cleaned yesterday, we'll start today."

Suddenly, Brid's stomach made a weak "grumble".

Shilok's eyes widened.

Brid blushed.

"You're still as hungry as ever, you gluttonous demon."

"Tsk, don't mention the old nicknames."

Brid began to search her body, but she felt disappointed when she couldn't find any spare food.

"Is there no one to cook at your house?"

"Yes, I ate two bowls this morning. Maybe I consumed a lot of energy after exercise... Mom went out to play with her friends and will be back in the afternoon..."

I couldn't stand the pitiful look of Brid holding her stomach, and felt like she would starve to death before her mother came back.

Hillock came to the rescue: "If you don't mind, I'll cook it for you."

"...I don't want to eat instant noodles and compressed dry food."

"It's not that kind of thing. It's just a normal breakfast. Just consider it as your tuition for teaching me. If you have the ingredients at home, I can make it when I go to your house."

"Huh? You can cook? Impossible, impossible."

Brid denies three times.

"You really don't want to eat?"

Brid's stomach growled again, forcing her to give in. "There are still some ingredients in the fridge... I'll trust you this time, but let me make it clear that I'm very picky about food."

15. Final preparations before entering the dungeon

Brid's home.

It is just one street away from the Hillock family's house. It looks ordinary from the outside, but the interior decoration is elegant and flavorful, showing the owner's stylish taste.

In the equally tasteful kitchen, Shilok was washing vegetables, cooking, and disinfecting dishes with swift hands and feet. Whether it was adding oil to the wok while adding rice, or chopping vegetables quickly and skillfully, the kitchen was like his domain and he was under control.

Brid was sitting obediently at the dining table, feeling a little overwhelmed, and could only admire Shilok's cooking.

It's not that she didn't want to help. At the beginning, she asked Shilok to tell her if he had any requests, but Shilok only said: "Just sit there and don't touch anything."

So she sat down.

Just as her stomach was rumbling, she was wondering whether she should go out and run a few laps to relieve the feeling of hunger.

"it is done."

Apple risotto, the thin bacon is shiny and oily, and the combination of rice and apples creates a charming aroma.

He actually knows how to cook!

Brid even had the illusion that after eating this meal, there might be no going back, and maybe her taste would become very picky in the future...

"Don't like apples?"

"How is that possible? I love apples the most."

Shilok had already started eating, and Brid finally came to her senses and scooped up a bite with a spoon and put it in her mouth.

Really fragrant!

The deliciousness needs no explanation. Now Brid just wants to eat and put the deliciousness into her stomach.

"Shilok, I admit that you can cook. It's a hundred times better than in a restaurant."

Seeing that Brid was enjoying her meal, Shilok smiled with satisfaction.

Sure enough, Brid is the cutest when she eats happily...

Compared to unlocking Brid's shy CG, Shilok still prefers the way she eats.

Beren must not know this...

"What do you see me doing?"

"No, seeing you eating so happily, I feel a sense of accomplishment."

What I learned in culinary school in my previous life was not in vain.
