Wrong, my props refresh every day

Hoshimi replied calmly.

Aina's fingers trembled violently, and the quill in her hand almost dropped. Her pupils contracted slightly, and her voice unconsciously rose:

"Mr. Hoshimi, are you alright? You're going to have to learn the 19th to 24th floors of the Great Tree Maze so quickly! Even experienced adventurers at level 3 have to be cautious! And you've only just reached level 2!"

In fact, more than a month has passed since Xingjian was promoted to LV2.

It's too far for the travelers, but for the natives, their abilities haven't reached the G level in over a month...

Xingjian did not refute immediately, because he knew that the half-elf girl was just concerned about her, so he just explained calmly:

"[Gale] and [Sword Princess] Ais Wallenstein will be traveling with me. This is our agreement. As long as Miss Aina helps me find the commission for the Great Tree Labyrinth, they will set off with me."

Aegina's pen paused on the paper, the ink spreading a small patch of deep blue. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and the gaze behind her lenses was scrutinizing:

"...When did you become so close to them?"

Ok?

Ms. Aina, it seems you are focusing on the wrong issue! ? ?

"This, this..."

Xingjian wanted to explain, but at this moment he didn't know how to explain it better.

It can't be said that because the three of them often practiced skills secretly in a small dark room where no one knew, their relationship became familiar with each other, right?

Chapter 87 [Life-saving Meatballs]

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Aegina's emerald eyes, her cheeks puffed up slightly, and her pink lips pouted unconsciously, but when she remembered that there were two high-level adventurers behind Xingjian, she finally sighed and loosened her tightly grasped quill.

"Really...it's always like this."

Aegina muttered softly, then took out a shimmering sheepskin map from under the counter.

As the scroll unfolded on the oak table, a faint magical fluorescence flowed through the intricate maze patterns.

"Listen carefully, floors 19 to 24 are collectively known as the [Big Tree Maze]."

Aegina's voice suddenly became serious and professional. She slid her slender fingers along the towering tree-shaped mark on the map and explained:

"The ecological environment there completely simulates the primeval forests of ancient times, but don't be deceived by the surface tranquility..."

Aina suddenly leaned over, and her hair with a faint mint scent fell in front of Xingjian.

"The killer bee's stinger can pierce steel armor, and the blood-stained hive sprays corrosive liquid. There's also the serrated forelimbs of the crazy beetle, the sneak attacks of the moss giant disguised as an ancient tree, and the fiery breath of the firebird..."

Every time she mentioned a monster, she would point out a scarlet warning mark at the corresponding location on the map.

The sunlight from outside the window filtered through the stained glass, casting mottled shadows on her serious profile.

Xingjian couldn't help but look at this ace consultant with admiration. After all, he was the only one in the entire guild who could remember the weaknesses of dozens of monsters at the same time and tailor a strategy for each adventurer.

This is also the reason why Xingjian looks for Miss Aegina.

Even though Ais and Liu had both been to the Great Tree Labyrinth, their expertise was definitely limited to that of guild advisors who had mentored various adventurers.

"So you understand?"

Aina suddenly tapped Xingjian's forehead with the scroll, but her eyes were filled with unconcealable concern.

"Even if you're accompanied by a first-level adventurer, you still need to be careful in the Great Tree Maze."

Aegina's voice suddenly lowered. The lives of some disobedient adventure teams last time... have been permanently stuck in the [Big Tree Maze].

Xingjian smiled slightly and looked at the serious and responsible consultant in front of her with soft eyes.

"Well, I remember everything. Thank you, Miss Aina."

"No, you're welcome!"

Aegina's cheeks flushed slightly, and her hands moved unconsciously, as if trying to hide her inner shyness.

In fact, rather than "Miss", Aina hoped that Xingjian could call her "Sister"...

But she couldn't say such little thoughts out loud.

"By the way, do you have any recommendations regarding the commissions for the Big Tree Maze?" asked Xingjian.

It is always better to act on commission than to explore blindly. Not only can you earn some pocket money, but you can also build up your network and avoid wandering aimlessly in the maze.

"Yes, yes! Xingjian, wait a moment!"

Aegina immediately turned around and began to search in the filing cabinet behind her. If it wasn't high enough, she stood on tiptoe and pulled out a stack of parchment from the top layer. She squatted down, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of scrolls. Finally, she even dragged out a wooden box from under the table. It was filled with various commissions.

"These are commissions suitable for your current level. Most of them are gathering tasks, such as honey from killer bees and sap from moss giants..."

Aina explained as she sorted the papers, her fingers moving nimbly between them like a skilled librarian.

Xingjian took the thick stack of orders and flipped through them quickly.

Most of the tasks are very basic and suitable for LV2 adventurers to practice.

However, just as he was about to pick one at random, a piece of parchment with a gold edge slipped out from the pile of documents.

"Ok?"

Xingjian bent down to pick it up, his eyes fixed on it——

"Subjugation Request: Ancient Treant Dragon

Client: Dean Kate Family

Danger Level: Lv.4+

Remuneration: 2000 million faris

"This is……?"

Xingjian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up at Aegina.

"Ah! How did this commission get mixed in?!"

Aina exclaimed, and quickly reached out to take it back. "This mission is too dangerous for you. The tree dragon is a monster close to the level of a floor master. It requires a team of at least Lv. 4 or above..."

Aina's voice stopped abruptly because she found that Xingjian's gaze did not retreat, but instead showed a hint of...interest?

In the dungeons of Orario, floors 13-24 are collectively referred to as the "middle floor," a testing ground where countless adventurers hone their skills.

In addition to the well-known 17th floor host [Attack on Titan] Goliath, there is actually another powerful monster lurking that is rarely seen -

24th-floor Ancient Treant Dragon.

Unlike purely power-based monsters like Goliath, the tree dragon is a strange combination of plants and dragon monsters. Its huge body is made of thousand-year-old trees, covered with dragon-scale-like bark, and vines entwine and wriggle like blood vessels. Its dark green pupils are terrifying.

The potential of the Tree Dragon has reached Lv. 4. Although its durability is slightly lower than that of Goliath, its other stats are comparable.

But the tricky thing about Goliath is that the tree dragon can fly.

Tree dragons are extremely rare, even rarer than the occasional baby dragons on floors 11-12. They usually live in the deepest part of the 24th floor, guarding a strange plant called the "Gem Tree".

It is said that the fruit on the tree is not an ordinary fruit, but a crystal clear magical crystal, whose value far exceeds that of gold.

Members of Freya's clan have ventured into the tree maze several times, specifically hunting tree dragons, just to present those dazzling gems to their goddess.

Xingjian stared at the gilded parchment in his hand and said thoughtfully to Miss Aina:

"The Deankate Familia...isn't that the faction famous for their healing magic?"

Xingjian is actually already a "regular customer" of the Dean Kate family. To be more precise, he is a "big purchaser of potions and hospitalization."

Even the male members of the Dean Kate clan were very wary of Xingjian, so every time Xingjian was hospitalized, he tried to kidnap their white-haired loli leader with silver hair and purple eyes.

Before, Xingjian delivered takeout to Amid, and during the chat he mentioned that he was planning to explore the tree maze. Amid had indeed entrusted him with several simple collection tasks, such as "royal jelly of killer bees" or "roots of moss giants".

But this time, the Dean Kate clan did not approach him directly, but chose to issue a commission through the guild.

The reason is obvious.

The Tree Dragon is a Lv.4 level subjugation target, while the Star Dragon is only Lv.2.

Ahmed knew Xingjian's character very well and knew that he would never back down once he took on a task.

She didn't want him to show off, and she didn't want him to get hurt by challenging someone above his level. So, the little doctor deliberately avoided him and chose to let the guild select a suitable adventurer team.

Unfortunately, he still found it out.

Xingjian stared at the eye-catching line "2000 million faris" on the order form, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He could almost imagine Amid's cold little face frowning slightly, and couldn't help but chuckle.

The more he is not allowed to touch something, the more interested he is in it.

Aina bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said in a low voice:

"It is said that... the [Dean Kate Family] discovered a gem tree deep within the 24th floor. The red and blue fruits on it can be refined into a healing potion more effective than ordinary healing potions. However, the appearance of the gem tree is accompanied by a tree dragon, and ordinary adventurers are no match for such monsters, so..."

After hearing this, Xingjian's mouth corners slightly raised.

"interesting."

Seeing this, Aina immediately became nervous: "Wait! Xingjian, you don't want to take this, do you? Absolutely not! Even if... even if Miss Aisi is following us, the tree dragon is not easy to deal with..."

However, Xingjian had already folded the order slip gently and put it in his pocket.

Xingjian blinked and gave a reassuring smile, "I didn't say I was going to attack. I just wanted to investigate a little. Is that okay? Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. Besides, I have this."

As he spoke, Xingjian took out a string of four tri-colored dumplings.

"What is this?" Aegina asked curiously.

"Life-saving dumplings."

Props: Life-saving dumplings.

Effect: When the user is in danger, they can throw it down to stop the enemy. Its four effects include making the road bumpy, making the ground sticky, creating a hole in the ground, and turning the ground into a swamp. However, its effects have a certain time limit.

From: A short comic, Nobita was chased by Fat Tiger and beaten up. After that, Nobita complained to Doraemon that he ran too slowly and wanted to borrow a prop from him to escape safely. Doraemon then took out this prop.

The first time, in order to test its usability, Nobita threw it towards Shizuka. The area where the ball landed formed a hill, blocking Nobita and Shizuka.

Nobita went to find Fat Tiger excitedly, but Fat Tiger changed his mind and didn't want to fight.

The second time he met his mother on the road, Nobita didn't want to run errands, so he threw a meatball to save her. The area where the meatball landed became sticky, making his mother unable to move.

The third time I met a dog on the roadside, I threw a ball to it. The area where the ball landed formed a hole and the dog fell into it.

At this time, there was only one meatball left, and Fat Tiger finally changed his mind and decided to fight Nobita...

Nobita happily ran to be chased by Fat Tiger and threw the last meatball to him, then ran into the corner, but Fat Tiger didn't notice and continued to move forward in a straight line.

Nobita was shocked and ran back hurriedly, wanting to call Fat Tiger over, but he fell into the trap formed by the balls - the swamp.

“Is it really that magical?”

"some."

Aina opened her mouth and wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Xingjian's determined eyes, she could only hold her forehead helplessly.

"At least bring enough recovery potions and potions to remove abnormal status. The monsters in the Great Tree Maze can basically produce venom and paralysis powder."

"Of course." Xingjian nodded with a smile, "After all, I don't want to make Sister Aina worry."

"Who, who is my sister?"

Aegina's face flushed instantly and she waved her arms in panic, but she felt inexplicably... a little happy in her heart.

Chapter 88: Slut, stop using water magic

After accepting the Shulong's request, Xingjian didn't stay long and went straight to the "Hostes of Abundance" tavern to explain the situation to Ais and Liu.

Ais was very surprised that Xingjian was going to challenge the tree dragon, which was close to the floor master level, with the strength of LV2. Even she felt it was too risky.

Liu was also worried, but finally agreed.

The three of them decided to go to the [Big Tree Maze] the next day. Ais went home to report to Madam Riveria, Liu went to the [Azure Pharmacy] to buy antidotes and recovery potions, and Xingjian went to find the god Hephaestus to update the stats.
