After listening to the concert, there was another technology exchange meeting. As a visitor in modern society, Rimuru knows that technology is the primary productive force.
However, the 'world situation' is different, and the research content of the scientific researchers here is also different. Rimuru chose completely open management and gave full play to everyone's imagination, so there were some surprises for her. For example, one of the groups
Research on 'Where does the magic element come from'.
It is worth mentioning that the 'Magic Detector' manufactured by Ji Xing was also on display. Even though no one except Ji Xing could explain the reason for this thing, it still aroused people's pursuit.
After all, the more nobles, the more afraid of death. Some time ago, a mysterious assassin organization appeared in Western countries. In just one day, it assassinated more than a dozen nobles in many countries at the same time. Most of these nobles died at home, and there was a high probability that there was a mole inside.
Once you have this thing in your sight, no one can hide your strength, and the safety value is doubled.
Well, they didn't know that Ji Xing was cleaning up people who were hostile to him.
After a day of wandering, the founding ceremony went smoothly. The nobles discussed it when they were satisfied, and the common people who were accustomed to using them as the vane would praise them, so everyone was satisfied.
Some people went to experience the amusement facilities, some went to soak in the hot springs, some people caught up with the last wave of registrations to enter the underground palace after enjoying the excitement of the Founding Festival, and at the same time, the first batch of adventurers who entered seven days ago gradually came out of the underground palace.
"Finally it's time."
Masayuki Honjo looked at the door that slowly opened in front of him. He felt a little relieved, but also a little reluctant to leave. He stepped out.
At the same time, Xunlei, who entered the underground palace next to him at the same time as him, also walked out of the room. He was wearing a single vest, scanning the surroundings with vigilant eyes, and his face showed joy when he saw Masayuki.
"Are you okay, Masayuki-sama! No, this is a useless question. How could you be in danger in a mere underground palace?"
"Hmm..." Masayuki responded: "There is no danger, but it's just a bit boring. Although those newspapers and cartoons are interesting, it's still a bit monotonous to stay in the room and read them for seven days in a row."
"Hahaha, as expected of you, you haven't summoned a few monsters to relieve your boredom? Oh no, at most it only provides C-level monster training. For you, it's just a matter of waving a hand, which is completely meaningless."
Masayuki was startled: "Monster?"
Xunlei has already started talking eloquently.
Only then did Masayuki find out that there was a button in that room for summoning monsters for sparring. It could be used up to three times a day. Each time, the highest level was C and the lowest was E level. As long as the button was pressed, the ground would crack in 10 minutes and an elevator would be used to bring it up.
The corresponding monster.
You can also shop in similar ways, and you can even buy healing medicine with a purity of 99%. That is a sky-high price for ordinary adventurers, but it is nothing to their team.
There are also various conveniences for practicing. Xunlei, who is hostile to the Demon King, can't help but praise the thorough arrangements here: "I didn't expect that this place would be a treasure place for training. It would be better if the monsters provided could be one level higher, C level."
The monsters are only enough for me to warm up and practice my skills."
I had no idea those things existed! Masayuki was secretly ashamed. As soon as he entered the room, he was attracted by the hotel-style layout and the bookcases in the bedroom.
There were all kinds of comics there that he could only see before he traveled through time. It was a pleasure for him who had no interest in entertainment and entertainment for a year. If it could be paired with a video game, he could stay there for half a year.
As for the practice tools Xunlei mentioned, do they really exist? He didn't dare to touch them...
After following the underground palace guide signs all the way back to the exit, there were indeed adventurers queuing up for testing at the exit, which was the last part of the competition - determining the difference in magic power when entering the underground palace and leaving the underground palace.
Masayuki was a little nervous. When he entered, he was surprised when it was detected that he had 12,435 magic points. After seven days...it shouldn't have changed, right?
Forget it, someone will always explain it to me.
Xunlei beside him was full of confidence. He said that he felt that he had increased his magic power by at least several hundred points after seven days of hard training. This was data that ordinary adventurers could not possess in their lifetime.
And the detection ahead is not as expected.
"No. 85 Right Code, magic value 432, original magic value 421, increased by 11 points."
"Kavan No. 79, magic value 1102, original magic value 1078, increased by 24 points."
"No. 91 Jin Duanheng, magic value 85, original magic value 84, increased by 1 point."
After seven days of practice and a guaranteed environment, most people can increase their magic power by more than ten or twenty points. There are also those who think they can become dark horses and increase by single digits or even one point.
But no one stayed still.
Soon Masayuki and Xunlei arrived, not because they queued up, but because everyone discovered Masayuki, the brave man.
"No. 77, Masayuki from this city, magic value is 13546, original magic value is 12435, increased by 1111 points."
When the goblin in charge of the test announced the announcement, the surrounding area immediately exploded. They all heard about Masayuki's control of demons from nowhere, but this 1111 point is too accurate, isn't it?!
Even Rimuru in the distance couldn't help but glance at Ji Xing. Is this reasonable? Is he really a parallel import? If he was a parallel import, he shouldn't have increased his magic power by more than a thousand in seven days! This
Isn't this guy also related to the empire?
"After reading the comics, his soul adaptability as a visitor from another world has improved, coupled with the strong luck brought by his skills." Ji Xing said: "You can just treat him as having the halo of the protagonist."
"...Tsk, I'm so enviable."
"Only you are not worthy of saying this."
Rimuru smiled coquettishly, as if you were not the same. She waited for the mad wolf Thunder to also complete the test, and got the "amazing data" that the magic value increased by 872, and asked Shuna next to her to invite him.
The two people who had finished registering were looking around for Bonnie and Qiu Nei. Zhu Cai went over and made gestures to get them to look over, with a strange look on her face.
Thunder means vigilance, Zhengxing means panic.
But the adventurers nearby who noticed this started to boo: "Hey, isn't that... the Demon King Rimuru who spoke at noon?!"
"The person next to you can't be a skill merchant!"
"As expected of the shining brave man, he actually asked these two to personally invite..."
As before, he was held high.
Masayuki and Xunlei had no choice but to pass by, and they heard a sentence in Japanese: "Baga Ya Road~!"
He was startled. Before the time travel, he had never heard of Baga with such a strong Osaka flavor in real life. He looked at Ji Xing in confusion, and saw Demon King Rimuru giving Ji Xing a speechless elbow and said: "
You forgot everything I was going to say."
After a pause, she also said in Japanese: "Hello, Masayuki, I am Rimuru, the reincarnation from Japan, and Ji Xing is the summoner. Come sit down at my place and let's chat."
Huh...huh?!
Honjo Masayuki looked shocked, is it true or not, the demon king and the skill merchant are both visitors from another world like me? Where did you not learn it from?
In fact, based on the frequency of his contact with Kagurazaka Yuuki, he should have at least known Rimuru's reincarnated identity, but Yuuki had his own plans and had not told him before.
The familiar Japanese finally eased his nervousness a little, so he also said in Japanese: "Sasan, I'm really surprised. I wonder where my companions Bonnie and Qiu live?"
He also had his own small-mindedness and used the term "Sasan", which is commonly used by young Japanese people, instead of the normal "Private Marseille".
Rimuru smiled: "If I didn't often hang out with young people in the club, I might not be able to understand it at the age of 37."
Masayuki was startled and then breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was really an old-timer who had entered the society.
"But your companion..." Rimuru was a little vague: "Let's talk while walking."
"...Ah? Hmm."
Masayuki nodded and followed. After walking two meters, he realized something was missing. Looking back, he saw Xunlei standing there stupidly.
Unfortunately, he can't understand Japanese.
You don’t think that Demon King Rimuru and I are communicating in some code word, do you?
"Well... Thunder, Demon King Rimuru invited us to sit at her place."
Unexpectedly, Xunlei didn't show much hostility towards Rimuru this time. He paused for a moment and then stepped forward to follow him, but his face still had a look of "arrogance" that disdained being associated with the Demon King.
A group of five people arrived at Rimuru's office in front of everyone's attention. Shuna exited and closed the door, leaving only four people sitting in pairs.
…
"...Bonnie and Qiu?! No, this is impossible, how could they be spies of some empire?!" Xunlei said hard to accept.
"Yes, Bonnie and the others..." Masayuki also said it was difficult to accept: "They are..."
"Is it a companion who is affected by your skills?" Ji Xing said with a smile: "Your skills are indeed very strong, and they are the pinnacle of unique skills, but there are some situations where people will see through you."
Masayuki's originally worried expression for his companions turned pale. My skills?
"The first is that people like Rimuru and I who have ultimate skills can basically be immune to your skills. The second is that people who also have unique skills to protect their souls will notice something strange and see through you after getting along with you day and night.
skills.”
Unique skill...getting along day and night?
Aren’t they all Thunder, Bonnie and Qiu?!
Masayuki looked at Xunlei for a moment, but saw that Xunlei had a troubled expression and dodges a little. Masayuki understood immediately, and said in shock and shame: "You have discovered it a long time ago? Xunlei, then why..."
"Because that's not important to me." Xunlei said awkwardly: "Master Masayuki is the real brave man to me!"
"How do I..."
"Remember the first time we met, right? What I looked like then, and what I look like now..."
Masayuki was in a daze. The first time he met Xunlei was when he was unfortunately involved in a heroic rescue of beauty when he first appeared - and Xunlei was the villain who bullied Mei.
After getting along with him for more than a year, he felt that Xunlei just looked a little fierce and acted a little recklessly, but he was actually a good person.
"If it weren't for Masayuki-sama, I would still be a gangster who failed the B-level exam, so to me you are a brave man."
Masayuki opened his mouth, not used to Xunlei's sudden emotion, but some of his doubts were naturally answered. For example, why Xunlei didn't suddenly get angry when Rimuru said, 'Bonnie and Qiu are imperial spies' this time, not like
The same attitude as before, saying that the evil devil had harmed them.
It turned out that he understood. After visiting the battle between the Skill Merchant and the Burning Flame Dragon, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat the Demon King.
So that means...
Bonnie and Qiu are both people with powerful and unique skills. Are they really... spies?
Masayuki felt a little depressed, feeling that there was really no need for Ji Xing and Rimuru to deceive him, but... "If they knew that I was a fake hero, why would they follow me? They wouldn't get anything.
"
Rimuru groped his chin: "I'm also very confused about this matter. It's probably because you are a brave man on the surface, and I can participate in some incidents with you. This time, didn't I just follow you into Tempest? I almost...
Created chaos?"
Masayuki was silent, and even Xunlei had nothing to say. He had not communicated with Bonnie and Qiu in detail, but he only felt that those two people were the same as him.
"Don't be disappointed. Doesn't this have a big impact? They are just hanging around you and have no ill intentions towards you."
Rimuru smiled, stepped forward and put his arms around Masayuki's shoulders: "Don't be sad, it's not your fault. We are all visitors from another world. Let's go to the hot springs and have a good bath together. After tonight, enjoy our Tempest
A special founding ceremony!"
Masayuki was stunned for a moment, his sadness disappeared, and a strange blush appeared on his cheeks: "Wen, is it a hot spring? I haven't been there for a long time."
Xunlei snorted but didn't object.
Rimuru didn't notice anything strange until they came to the entrance of the hot spring. Masayuki Honjo blushed and asked, "Lee, Rimuru-senpai, do you want to enter the men's bath with us too?!"
Rimuru suddenly realized.
Well, he's right.
Shion, Hinata, Shyvana and the others should have soaked in the women's bath by now!
"Hahaha, of course not."
So Rimuru laughed and said: "I just sent you here, and then I will ask Ji Xing to take Masayuki and the others into the men's bath!"
She turned around and left, looking very free and easy. Ji Xing didn't stop her, he just shook his head and smiled.
Nonsense.
Come on, I'll take you there.
He took Masayuki and Xunlei into the men's bath, changed into bathrobes and found a separate private room.
After soaking in the comfortable hot spring for the first time in a long time, Masayuki sighed happily. He felt that too many things happened today and his mind was so messed up. I really wanted to let everything go and have a good sleep, or rather go back to the underground palace to read comics.
go.
But Ji Xing was beside him, and as a junior, he felt that he should take the initiative to talk about something.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he covered them with his hands in panic, and his whole body heated up violently.
"Lee, Rimuru-senpai?!"
I saw Rimuru walking in with only a towel draped over his shoulders and a look of resentment on his face. He said to Ji Xing: "When did Demon King Ruminas come? It's really..."
Ji Xing smiled and said: "Hinata went to pick her up before, didn't you hear?"
"No..." Rimuru rubbed his cheek, only to feel a dull pain there. He soaked himself in the hot spring and spit out a few bubbles regretfully.
"By the way, Ji Xing, when Chloe went to the Holy Kingdom of France, she saw Luminas? Why did I seem to vaguely see Luminas rubbing the back of Chloe's child?"
Ji Xing smiled silently and rested peacefully.
There is a bit of lag, but 4k is enough to ensure full attendance. I took three days off this month and updated a total of 180,000+, which should be okay... Well, the updates will be slightly slower in June.
