Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

However, Shi Yu wasn't lying this time.

Even if he's a complete jerk, he could never be interested in Nia, that tomboy who's practically a stunner like Chris Lee.

The reason I gave her a bottle of skill-enhancing potion was simply to see what effect it would have on mages in the Overlord world.

It's worth noting that Kaori and Shizuku successfully developed some extended skills by using the Skill-Up Potion.

However, both the world of "Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest" and the world of Konosuba already have similar status slabs and adventurer cards.

These things don't exist in the Overlord world.

So Shi Yu went along with it and gave her a chance, and also to test the effects of the potion.

It seems that the potion works in this world too.

Originally a potion that increases skill points by 363, it has now become a potion that helps others learn magic and increase their magical power. In general, the effects are about the same, only the forms of expression are different.

Of course, there was also the fact that Shi Yu suddenly remembered the origin of the pitch-black sword in front of him.

Aren't these unlucky kids just cannon fodder who got wiped out because they followed the wrong protagonist?

Especially Nia, not only did she die, but her own sister was also captured by nobles and subjected to a series of inhumane tortures.

If they hadn't finally encountered Sebastian, one of the few truly benevolent stewards of the Justice 300 in Nazarick, the two sisters would probably have already reunited in Hell.

However, the timing seems a bit off; she hasn't become a magic chanter yet.

Since they happened to run into each other, he might as well lend a hand. Anyway, level-up potions aren't anything special these days, and with the convenience of the all-purpose farm tools, he could easily make level-up potions for Wiz.

However, if you want to produce it on a large scale, you should still make a trip to the Crimson Demon Village of the Crimson Demon Clan when you have time, because this potion was developed there.

Shi Yu plans to invite Hui Hui's poor parents to work for him, and of course, he'll also need the group of max-level chuunibyou NEETs from the village.

Those are a bunch of freaks who treat high-level magic like basic attacks. If they had any improper thoughts, the Konosuba world might be plunged into disaster.

The group continued their journey.

They soon arrived at a plain.

Whether it was Shi Yu's imagination or not, he felt that the monsters in the Overlord world were much weaker than the monsters in the Konosuba world.

Putting everything else aside, the group of frogs outside Axel City could easily wipe out this team of silver-rank adventurers.

Along the way, everyone chatted casually, from the Golden Queen to the unbridled behavior of the nobles.

It is clear that the middle and lower classes have accumulated a great deal of discontent.

Nia's eyes blazed with hatred; her sister was now being targeted by a pig-like nobleman.

Her urgent desire to become a magic chanter stemmed from her desire to rescue her sister.

Now Shi Yu has given her this hope.

At that moment, Luke, who was in charge of scouting, suddenly waved to signal everyone to stop.

His expression was grave as he looked towards a distant forest.

"careful!"

Everyone turned to look.

A large group of goblins of varying sizes emerged densely from the forest.

"how come?!"

Captain Peter stared in astonishment at the sheer number of goblins. "How did so many goblins appear here?!"

Goblins are among the lowest-level monsters in many RPGs.

However, in the Overlord world, there exist goblins ranging from level 1 to 50.

Each high-ranking goblin is a tribal ruler with a considerable degree of intelligence, and they generally do not easily appear in human territories.

Now, an army of goblins has appeared before me?

Judging from their numbers, this must be a well-established tribe, and there might even be high-level goblins capable of casting third-tier magic!

Peter and the others panicked immediately, as the strongest magic they could use was only second-tier.

As for Shi Yu, who is at the Steel level, although everyone knows he is a magic caster, no one knows how much strength this Steel level, which was bought with money, actually has.

Moreover, this time the goblin was accompanied by a huge number of ogres, whose three- or four-meter-tall stature was awe-inspiring.

Shi Yu frowned as he looked at the goblin.

According to Nia, the goblins in this world are born from the mating of humans and apes.

With its crooked face, flat nose, and gaping mouth with protruding sharp teeth, it was absolutely hideous.

"Lord Shiyu, let's hide for a while. Goblins and ogres are characterized by attacking when there are few people around. Most of their intelligence is based on judging each other's combat abilities according to the number of people."

However, there were simply too many goblins in front of them, and it would be quite difficult for the four of them to deal with them.

As for Shi Yu and Yue, they see them more as their employers than as their companions; their purpose this time is to protect Shi Yu and Yue.

Shi Yu, however, looked at the goblins with a disdainful expression.

"Hide? What's there to hide from this garbage?"

They're not like those twisted gods from Goblin Slayer who created goblins; they're just a bunch of trash.

Shi Yu casually pulled out an ebony and a white ivory object and pointed them at the goblin army in the distance.

As Shi Yu's magic power was injected, the black and white gun muzzles each displayed half of a complex red magic circle pattern in mid-air.

The magic circle formed by the fusion of the two guns perfectly constitutes a complete magic circle.

"Explosion!"

Shi Yu calmly chanted the incantation.

Terrifying flames erupted from the magic circle and blasted towards the goblin army.

The blinding white light and terrifying shockwave blew the nearby Black Sword squad away.

A violent explosion came from directly in front.

A small mushroom cloud slowly rose from the vast grassland.

The members of the Black Sword squad stared wide-eyed at the horrific crater on the ground, their scalps tingling with dread.

This is... high-grade steel?!

That's bullshit!

P.S. Anyone there? My grades aren't great, so I'm asking for a few monthly votes to cheer myself up... Sigh...

Chapter 88 Your Lair Has Been Discovered

After defeating the goblin army,

The group resumed their journey to the cemetery.

This time, the members of the Dark Sword no longer dared to fool around in front of Shi Yu.

Although Shi Yu did not change his attitude, the huge difference in strength made this adventurer team no longer as carefree as before.

"It's lonely at the top."

Shi Yu couldn't help but mutter something.

"Aww!"

The moon behind him didn't care about Shi Yu's strength. As always, she treated Shi Yu like an edible blood baby and took a bite.

Shi Yu rolled his eyes.

Never mind, the things that remain unchanged will remain unchanged.

The group remained silent as they made their way to a cemetery on the very edge of Yerantir.

The cemetery was desolate and silent, with a huge shrine standing in the very center.

Peter, the captain of the Black Sword, swallowed hard as he looked at the eerie and terrifying environment.

"It's just an ordinary cemetery, why does it feel so creepy?"

Luke, a guerrilla fighter standing nearby, chuckled and sneered.

"Who knows, a terrifying vampire might even rise from its grave to suck your blood."

The moon, clinging to Shi Yu, suddenly puffed out its cheeks and snorted coldly at Luke:

"Vampires don't sleep in coffins."

"Uh……"

The Black Sword squad exchanged glances, then shut their mouths and pressed on.

Why is this ancestor speaking?

They could also see that Shi Yu seemed to dote on the little girl in front of him, having clung to her all afternoon without taking a single step.

Yue snorted coldly at their silence, then turned to Shi Yu and said seriously:

"Vampires really don't sleep in coffins."

She was terrified that Shi Yu would return to the village and make her a coffin to use as her wedding room.

Shi Yu looked at Yue, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Alright, I got it. I'll build you a big house then."

Yue's lips curled up, and she seemed to remember something as she muttered:

"No way, I want to sleep with Shi Yu."

Shi Yu was instantly excited when he saw Yue's proud little expression.

He suddenly realized that unlimited energy also had its drawbacks. At the very least, everyone had the "sage time" that Shi Yu never possessed, and he could always enter a battle stance at any time.

The group cautiously made their way through the cemetery.

Shi Yu had no idea why these adventurers were afraid of these low-level undead.

He glanced at the cemetery without making a sound.

Hmm... there are quite a lot buried underneath.

With the dual skills of aura perception and enemy perception, Shi Yu can clearly sense the zombies and undead buried underground.

It's obvious they're just temporarily asleep here.

The group arrived at the dilapidated ancestral hall in the center.

An empty stone platform stood in the hall.

This was clearly a place where the body was placed for prayers for the family; the offerings were now completely gone.

However, the stone platform was filled with a strong, pungent smell of incense.

Nia frowned and looked around:

"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual, and we haven't found any monsters or anything like that."

Captain Peter carefully observed his surroundings.

"So it really was an invalid delegation?"

Invalid delegation refers to tasks that are fundamentally impossible to complete, not necessarily those that are difficult.

Rather, it refers to commissions whose objectives may have changed, or whose objectives cannot be achieved due to death.

For example, Shi Yu initially received a mission to subjugate the undead, but now there is no trace of them at all.

Whether the monster escaped or was killed by someone else, they were destined to have made a wasted trip.

Fortunately, thanks to Shi Yu, the mission was changed from a subjugation mission to a reconnaissance mission.

Regardless of whether the group actually found the monster, they could receive a decent reward for reporting the situation, somewhat like a delivery fee.

Guerrilla Luke let out a long sigh of relief and burst into laughter:

"I knew it. This is the outer city of Yelantier. Even if many warriors have died, there's no way that undead would appear here."

He also belongs to Yelantil in the outer city, so such a thing shouldn't exist there in the first place.
