I really only stop

When I found her earlier, she was held in the right hand by the stone giant, leaving only one head exposed, so it was impossible to judge her clothing and occupation, but she could only be judged from her appearance. Adventurers only.

"...But, why is the sword held upside down?"

This is exactly what surprised Lu Xi.Generally speaking, swordsmen either hold the sword in both hands, or put the sword in the scabbard.Lu Xi had never seen a guy who held the blade like her and made a look as if he was about to hit someone with the hilt.

Take a closer look, sister, your sword is not even sharpened, so who are you fooling around here?

Think again of her earlier response to the terrifying Golem 'Bah! 'Behavior and the speech full of second-year-old illness just now...

"—To sum up, this guy probably doesn't have a good brain, right?"

After unscrupulously making such impolite remarks to the time-stopped woman, Lu Xi bent down and carefully pulled the girl out of the stone giant's incomplete right hand.

"So, what should we do with this mountain of high-rare ore?"

Due to the lack of material on her chest, Lu Xi, who was sleeping next to the belly of a girl with a second-year-old chubby—from what she said just now, she seemed to be called Celica—chewed her food from the city. An unknown dried fruit came, while looking at Jin Cancan all over the place in front of him, worrying.

Nana's little room is really too small.The group of weird dolls alone takes up half of the space, plus the various materials I've been stuffing into it lately...it's obviously unrealistic to put so many extra ores.

Since there is no way to settle down, we must quickly help them find a home.

Lu Xi's mind was very active, and he thought of the report he had seen on the table of the guild master's uncle with lightning speed.

I should remember correctly, the Rhine City Adventurer's Guild seems to be short of precious ores for making equipment.And considering the scale and background of the operation, only the Adventurer's Guild, which is closely connected with various forces, has the ability to eat such a large amount of high-priced ore.

As for trade, there is only one information difference.I know that the guild is in short supply of ores, but I happen to have so many ores in my hand, what does this mean?

If you do this vote well, you won’t have to worry about spending money in the future!

"...No, no, you can't set up such a dangerous death flag."

Turning over and sitting up from Celica, the second-year swordsman, Lu Xi began to prepare for the follow-up matters.

"Send this girl back to the guild first, then find a car wherever you want, and transport the ore to a more hidden place, and then let the guild come to pick it up... Hey, wait a minute."

Lu Xi looked at the sun that had been standing in mid-air for a long time with a melancholy face, and sighed softly.

...For some reason, we changed jobs from miners to couriers again.

There was something wrong with my time travel in another world.

-

Take a shower, tidy up, and change into the clothes you were wearing before.

Time begins to flow.

"What does it mean to suddenly return to the guild - wow! Really back!!!"

The atmosphere of the guild, which was a little quiet and leisurely because it was noon, was suddenly broken by an exclamation.

Looking at the familiar guild gate in disbelief, Celica grabbed Lu Xi's shoulder excitedly:

"You, how did you do it?! It's amazing! Where's the stone giant just now? Has it been defeated? Has it been defeated?"

"Knock it down, knock it down, otherwise, how do you think I saved you from the stone giant? By digging?"

Lu Xi rolled his eyes fiercely: "Also, the name of your 'savior' is Lu! Xi! You can say a little bit more about your thanks, and it's fine with your body."

"Grateful! Thanks for something... I, I know..."

Celica's voice softened unexpectedly.She rubbed the ground with her toes, and turned her head quite deliberately:

"Thank you, thank you!"

--Accident.At first, I thought that this kind of idiot in the second grade would fool around with a haha, but I didn't expect that he was quite polite.

Lu Xi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Thank you for accepting, how is it? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

"Well... there is a little bit to say."

Celica frowned, reached out and rubbed her belly without a trace of fat:

"I don't know if it's because I was held too tightly by the stone giant, and my stomach feels like it's been crushed by something, but I don't have this feeling in other places—eh? Lucy? Where are you going?"

Amidst Celica's suspicious cry, Lu Xi quickly slipped away.

------

The reason why I didn’t choose to stand back to the same place after the time stop ended, but to stand at the entrance of the guild with Celica, in addition to comforting Celica who might be uneasy due to the sudden change of the scene, is also because [ rationality considerations.

The previous Lu Xi had indeed planned to stop and stand back at the counter after finishing collecting the necessities of the mission, but what people didn't expect was that he ran into Celica who was attacked by the stone giant on the way.In order to save her, Lu Xi had to let time go forward for a while.That is to say, in the eyes of Ms. OL and others, I [suddenly disappeared for a while] has become a fait accompli, and it is unnecessary to stand back to the same place.

After approaching the counter, he saw Nana, the cleric girl, and Miss OL looking for him as expected.

"Ah! Lucy!"

Although she is just a soft girl who is not good at communicating, Nana's eyes are unexpectedly quick:

"Eh? Why did Lu Xi suddenly run there? Is it space movement again?"

"more or less."

Hearing Nana's voice after a long time, Lu Xi also relaxed.He walked to the counter, and placed a huge package in front of Ms. OL with a 'touch'.

Ms. OL, who just learned the identity of the clergy girl, is obviously still a little confused: "Mr. Lu Xi, this, this is?"

Lu Xi replied: "It's my hand-in item, ten plants of Freeman grass."

"Ah, it's the task of collecting Freeman grass!"

Ms. OL's eyes lit up, and while accepting the item, she did not forget to praise her sincerely:

"Mr. Lu Xi collected this before he came to register, right? Freeman grass has a very short shelf life, no wonder you are so anxious to accept the task—ah, I am not criticizing you. In the adventurer industry, It is also very common to prepare quest items in advance before accepting quests. In my opinion, if you can have such foresight, your future adventures will be very smooth~ However, there are only ten plants, why use such a big pocket -"

"—Then I will borrow the good words from Ms. OL."

Without correcting the mistakes in Ms. OL's words, Lu Xi smiled slightly:

"In order to save time, I started to read according to the task list. First, there are twenty copies of slime, this is here. Then there are three ramfruits, here, and then..."

Under the inconceivable gaze of the adventurers who came after hearing the wind, the spacious counter of the guild was slowly filled with various quest items, and there was not even a single vacant space.

It seems that Miss OL is busy this time.

PS: February is over, thinking about the upcoming March, I am still a little excited.

Chapter 17 When Life Deceives You

"...Finally, there are red wolf furs, ten in total, and that's all."

【That's all】?

Hearing Lu Xiyun's calm conclusion, the eyes of Miss OL and the onlookers became strange at the same time.

"Hey, I've paid attention to this guy with a sticky butt before. He seems to be a rookie who just registered?"

"That's right, I just saw him register with Ms. OL, why did he find so many mission materials in a blink of an eye? Could it be prepared in advance?"

"Who is free to collect these scraps of materials that don't know when the mission will be assigned? I won't mention the hard currency like fur. The shelf life of those grasses and fruits is quite short. If someone sends a mission and needs it, who Do you dare to pick them in groups like this?"

"And they are all the right amount? By the way, did you see that this kid just disappeared for a few seconds, and then came in through the main entrance?"

"...Could it be space magic?!"

As the adventurers have said, there are a wide variety of items on the counter.Not only did most of the materials needed for long-term missions be covered, but even some materials for short-term temporary missions were prepared—this was a full month’s worth of missions for the Adventurer’s Guild.

How did this guy do it? !

Hearing their hearts from the expressions of the onlookers, Lu Xi smiled lightly on the surface, but his heart was already turned upside down.

This is how the protagonist is treated, okay?It's super cool to see your envious and jealous expressions, okay?Finally, I didn't spend a few days as a miner's driver!

Compatriots in adversity, have you seen it!The setbacks and hardships in front of you are just preparations for the fun counterattack later, don't stop!

Trying her best to suppress the uncontrollable laughter at the corner of her mouth, Lu Xi looked at Miss OL humbly and sincerely:

"Excuse me, may I ask our mission rewards..."

"...Ah, I'm really, really sorry! I was a little distracted just now, and I will settle the settlement for you right now!"

The poor OL lady came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, relying entirely on muscle memory to count the materials on the table.

"That... Lu Xi..."

When Ms. OL suddenly worked overtime to count, a weak call suddenly sounded from Lu Xi's ear, and she took a closer look, and it was Nana who looked a little hesitant:

"Lu Xi said just now that 'our' mission rewards include me and Miss Cleric?"

"Of course."

Lu Xi nodded as a matter of course: "Although it is only a temporary team of three, what I have accepted is a team task after all. According to the rules of the Adventurer's Guild, of course, Nana and you must share in the task rewards."

"But……"

"...But, we didn't make any effort."

The gentle voice of the healing department suddenly took over the conversation. Turning around, the clergy girl walked over gracefully and dignifiedly, and extended her hand generously:

"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Yuxia. As Mr. Lu Xi said, I am a priest."

"Just call me Lu Xi, I'm sorry for dragging you into the temporary team suddenly."

Holding Yuxia's soft hand back, Lu Xi looked at the clergyman who was almost forced by him with some apology:

"As I just said to Nana, since we have temporarily formed a team, the mission rewards should also be shared equally according to the rules. Yuxia, you don't have to mind too much."

This is Lu Xi's thought from the bottom of his heart.From the very beginning, the reason he accepted the mission was to prolong his activity time, and the mission rewards given by the guild were really out of his consideration.And after he happened to defeat the stone giant, he had even less need for the money rewarded by the guild.

After all, Lu Xi would not be able to make a big fortune in the future, leaving behind the two girls whom he had brought to help, and having to eat the mission rewards all by himself.

"—So, please accept the mission rewards, which also means I want to thank you."

Lu Xi sincerely expressed his inner thoughts: "It also conforms to the rules and regulations of the guild, so you and Nana, Yuxia, can accept both."

"……oh, I understand now."

Staring seriously at Lu Xi's eyes for a few seconds, Yuxia suddenly smiled, and the surprise revealed in an instant made Lu Xi stunned for a few seconds:

"You are such a fair and courteous person, in the name of God, I am honored to join a team with you!"

"Thank you."

Feeling hot on the nose, Lu Xi quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, you haven't had a formal conversation with Nana, have you? Let me introduce you, this is—ah? Nana? Where did Nana go?"

"it's here……"

Nana's voice sounded in the distance, Lu Xi followed the voice and found her hiding pitifully behind a pillar.

"What's the matter, Miss Nana?"

Yuxia's eyes showed real worry: "From the beginning, when I saw her, she would immediately run away... How strange?"

"Maybe this is the difference between the so-called [yin angle] and [yang angle]."

Looking at Yuxia's suspicious eyes, Lu Xi smiled stiffly: "If you are free, go talk to Nana. First of all, you need to call her name softly and slowly. Gain trust, and then gradually approach. During this process, you should pay attention to always be within Nana’s field of vision to prevent her from running away suddenly. After getting close to Nana, you can gently stroke her head and back with your hands, or give her something to eat, just like this slowly gaining trust..."

... Does it sound familiar?

That's what I do with shy puppies.

Yuxia did not doubt the method Lu Xi said, on the contrary, she rolled up her sleeves vigorously:

"Well! Please leave it to me! I also want to get along with Ms. Nana!"

Seeing the scene where Yuxia, who had a holy temperament, bent her waist slightly, and moved towards Nana who was hiding behind the pillar step by step, Lu Xi was silent for a while.

……come on.

--------

"Already counted..."

After dutifully reviewing, Miss OL tremblingly handed Lu Xi's adventurer card back to him:

"There are a total of 89 collection tasks, one of which is quite a lot. The corresponding rewards and process have been recorded on your card. You can go to any adventurer guild to go through the process of raising the adventurer level according to the information on the card, so that Get the qualification to enter a more advanced labyrinth."

"That's not in a hurry, I have no plans to enter the maze at the moment. Compared to that..."

Lu Xi looked around, seeing that the adventurers' attention was still on the astonishing amount of loot, he beckoned to Miss OL.

The latter put his ear to the past quite politely: "What's the matter?"

"It's actually not a big deal."
