"The Raindance Team is recruiting B-level and above explorers to conquer the 44th floor of the maze. Priority will be given to those who have the experience of clearing the 40th floor and have skill merchant skills!"
"A-level adventurers lead four people to clear the 15th floor of the maze. They will get 8 silver coins per hour. They only need skill books and weapons of rare level or above, and the rest will be divided equally!"
"The 'Elven Messenger' leads the team to conquer the 38th floor of the maze, and there is a lack of a shield warrior! The output distribution of the strategy is for the Elf Messenger to pick one type first, and the others will be given fair roll points. Do not disturb anyone below level B!"
"Material Master 1 Silver Coin Appraisal Item!"
"Please bring me, brother~"
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the underground maze has been officially in operation for nearly a year. Every time he comes to the grand square on the ground floor, listening to the greetings from everywhere, Masayuki feels as if he is in another world.
It really feels too much like an online game, or in other words, Rimuru and Ji Xing-senpai are creating a dungeon for this feeling - adventurers form their own teams to attack a certain floor, and the 'Team Contract' is sold through the dungeon.
The distribution method of items has been decided in advance, and unknown items occasionally need to be identified, so the 'Return Whistle' has become one of the must-have items for adventurers.
Coupled with the resurrection bracelets that will naturally be sold, there are multiples of 5 levels above 30, and there will be voice broadcasts when clearing the Demon King level to satisfy the "vanity" of advanced adventurers, attracting a large number of masters, forming a virtuous cycle.
Daily sales are astronomical figures.
Although there are occasional adventurers who are lucky enough to find skill books and high-level equipment, skill books are copyless, and high-level equipment can be copied in bulk for Rimuru.
In this way, this maze brought a lot of money to Tempest, making the Demonic Federation, which had just been established a year ago, quickly become one of the richest countries in the world.
Not even one!
Using this money, Tempest developed at an alarming rate, attracting a large number of immigrants every day, and new town buildings rose in this vast forest every day.
"A-level adventurers, look here! The brave Lord Masayuki personally leads the team to conquer the 60th floor of the maze. Only three teammates! Only three people!"
Thunderous shouts echoed in the ears, and the square fell silent for an instant. Although it had not happened once or twice, Masayuki's face was still almost red to the roots of his ears.
Yes, I am the biggest publicity board, the biggest supporter, the ‘staff’ of the town, and the ‘pioneer role model’ in conquering the underground labyrinth.
In fact, Ms. Hinata is very powerful, but no one knows that she got through to the 100th floor in one go, and even fought a battle with a storm dragon after passing the Elf Trial and becoming a hero.
There are also Miss Shion's Purple Kezhong and Miss Hinata's paladins. Their progress is not inferior to his, but they don't show up in public.
I'm more of a mascot...
But Masayuki was still very happy about the current situation of being able to help Rimuru. He turned to look at the crowd gathered around him, well, it would be better if everyone's enthusiasm could subside a little.
…
"I choose...the virus butcher knife!"
A strong, average-looking female adventurer sat in front of Ji Xing and gritted her teeth as she told her about the D-level skills she wanted to buy.
Several adventurers in her team behind her were startled and said in shock: "Sisi, didn't you agree to buy 'adrenal hormones'?"
"Yes, that way, as a melee combatant, you won't have to consume healing potions, and your ability to save your life in battle will be greatly improved!"
"The Virus Butcher Knife is a long-range attack!"
"No... it can also be used for melee combat. It is easier to hit if you throw a knife close to me. And in the description of this skill... the lethality is based on my own 'blood value'. I think it is more cost-effective!" Sai Xi said.
He shook his head and looked at Ji Xing for verification.
She heard that occasionally adventurers who come to buy skills can hear "revelation" from the skill merchant, explaining to them the advantages and disadvantages of some skills.
Compared with the adrenaline hormone that "restores 5% of the blood value in 5 seconds", her subconscious told her that the virus butcher knife would be better, but she was not confident.
Ji Xing smiled and said: "The Virus Butcher Knife is indeed one of the most cost-effective skills among D-level skills, especially when conquering mazes. If used properly, it will be better than some C-level skills.
It suits you well, use it well.”
Sisi suddenly beamed with joy, and the team members behind her no longer objected and looked surprised. They happily settled the fees, Sisi received the skills, and respectfully resigned.
Ji Xing threw the 1 gold coin into the table, stood up and walked out of the 'Skill Shop', closed the door, hung up a white sign saying 'Skill Merchant is out, adventurers who need to purchase skills please wait', and strolled out of the underground
maze.
For nearly a year, Ji Xing's life was lackluster. He spent every day leisurely eating, drinking and having fun in the small town of Rimuru. Occasionally he went to the underground palace to sit for a long time and sell his skills. He used the Kexue Master to swipe vampires several times and teleport to various places.
Ask them in the Demon King's territory if they want to buy skills.
Nowadays, the number of people who have acquired his skills has exceeded 3,000. Although most of them are minions, the benefits brought to him every day are still exaggeratedly high, and he is really getting stronger with his breathing.
His saint transformation progress has already reached the end, and he has transformed into a complete spiritual life form. He can basically be like a dragon, with immortal magic. Even if his body is destroyed, he can be reborn, but he will lose most of his memories. Well, Ji Xing also
I don't think I will lose my memory.
Of course, he doesn't think anyone can destroy his body now, unless the creation star king dragon Veludonava is resurrected, or the gods descend. Oh, his current state is called a 'god' among the strongest human beings.
Human', a level that has reached the end that humans can reach, but Ji Xing is still getting stronger every day.
Walking in a gorgeous town that was completely different from a year ago, Ji Xing greeted the people who spotted him and greeted him.
He did not teleport, but seemed to feel something. An invisible aura radiated from his body. Unknowingly, the street he was on became increasingly emptier, and gradually no one stayed.
His footsteps immediately stopped, and at the same time, he heard a "woo" and a powerful fist came close to his cheek!
Ji Xing moved back lightly to dodge, and responded with an elbow thrust that elicited a groan. The person who attacked him was a purple-haired beautiful girl. At this moment, she crossed her arms and slid back, her single ponytail swaying in the wind.
, frowning slightly because of Ji Xing's strength.
At the same moment, another cheetah-like blond figure rushed towards Ji Xing. The swift forward kick was aimed directly at Ji Xing's heart. Ji Xing blocked her with his raised elbow, and then quickly hit her with a sweeping leg.
on the supporting legs.
The blond girl jumped into the air, with a somewhat irritable and unhappy expression on her face. She did not defend herself, but took advantage of the opportunity to twist her waist and spin her body in mid-air at high speed. Her powerful legs whipped through the air like whips and clamped towards Ji.
Star neck!
??????55.??????
Ji Xing jumped sideways lightly, dodged the attack while shaking his head, raised his foot and kicked, causing the blond girl to fly out with a cry of pain, collapsing the building next to her!
At the same time, quietly, another figure approached behind Ji Xing.
Her hair was as white as snow and her face was as elegant as a rich man's. However, the way she raised her knee to his tailbone showed a contrasting ferocity.
Ji Xing only slightly bent over and pushed his butt upwards. As the banging blow reverberated, the white-haired beauty looked shocked. Her knee strike was deflected, but the hand knife that followed Ji Xing's neck was struck with precision in an instant.
Degree of correction!
Unfortunately, the blow was caught by Ji Xing's palm before it hit, and he was thrown away from his back. He spun around in the air several times before landing steadily.
"I really didn't expect this move, Mr. Ji Xing." The white-haired beauty turned around and said.
"You should just kick, Testarossa." The purple-haired girl teased, "That will be the big breakthrough for the three of us."
"Really..." The beautiful blonde girl emerged from the ruins: "Utima, how dare you talk about a breakthrough? Didn't we make an appointment with you to wrap one of his arms?! As a result, I had to be kicked by him.
It hurts a lot!"
"You have to be flexible in battle!" Ultima curled her lips: "You also know how strong Mr. Ji Xing is. If you hold on hard, I will be the one who gets attacked, Karela!"
"you……?!"
"Okay, okay." Ji Xing waved his hand to interrupt the argument that was about to break out: "The attack you just made was barely passable. Utima was flexible and defended very solidly, but it caused damage to her teammates, so she reduced some
point.
Carrera's attack seemed reckless, but her reckless actions and even her own emotions were a cover, creating an opportunity for Testarossa to attack. However, she was injured and lost some points.
As for Testa Rosa, her stealth is very stealthy and her response speed is pretty good, but she’s still not very creative. If she knocks her sword out of the way and then straightens it out, it’s an obvious flaw in a battle between experts.”
The three of them each hit a stick, which also stopped the three of them from arguing. They looked at each other angrily. Testarossa shook her head and said: "We used the same strategy to beat Lord Rimuru away once, but
As expected, it’s still…”
The three of them are the original demons brought to the town by the original black Diavolo about 10 months ago, the original white Testarossa, the original yellow Carrera, and the original purple Ultima.
The three of them were also attracted by Rimuru's temperament like Diavolo, and agreed to be named by Rimuru and become his subordinates. However, when they first met Ji Xing, the three lawless original demons did not respect him so much.
.
Especially the original White Testarossa.
Her demon territory is in the east, so she has come into contact with the Burning Flame Dragon. Even though she is as powerful as the original demon, she also looks up to the dragon species. At most, she can rely on her own nature of not dying completely to deal with it. If she faces the enemy head-on, she will definitely be sent to death.
Return to the demon world and repeat the reincarnation for thousands of years.
Such a dragon species was defeated by a human?
She didn't believe it, so she was taught a lesson by Sivana. Kalela and Ultima laughed at Testarossa for embarrassing them, so they were taught a lesson by Ji Xing himself.
But after all, he is the original devil and loves his face. He will never be completely convinced after being taught a lesson. Ji Xing made a suggestion - "No need for skills, let's fight with bare hands, one on three. If I win, you will take my place."
Do one thing.'
The three female demons thought about it, how many years have we lived and how many battles have we experienced, and how many years have you lived? There was no reason to refuse the opportunity for revenge, so of course, the three of them were punched by Ji Xing.
To be convinced.
What Ji Xing proposed was that they need to launch raids on Rimuru from time to time.
Train Rimuru.
Rimuru was dumbfounded at that time.
After 10 months, Ji Xing's training for them has begun to bear fruit, and both Rimuru and the three demons have grown.
Today, Rimuru is no longer the fighting novice who only had the consciousness to fight when the King of Wisdom took over her body. She has finally washed away the problem of gaining strength too quickly and not keeping up with her level.
Not to mention the three demons, there are new tricks every time. Now Diavolo is facing some pressure from them. The only thing that makes them dissatisfied is that they have not been able to test Ji Xing's bottom line so far, and even
It feels so far away.
After absorbing some failed experiences, Testarossa said: "Mr. Ji Xing, we have other things to ask you this time."
"Is there anything unusual happening in the Eastern Empire?"
Ji Xing raised his hand, and the streets and houses that had just been destroyed in the battle were quickly restored as if going back in time. The invisible aura disappeared, and pedestrians gradually appeared at the end of the empty block.
The four of them flashed and moved quickly to Rimuru's office. They saw Rimuru's small face staring at the map seriously.
"Ah, you're here, Ji Xing." Seeing the four people appearing, Rimuru came to his senses and said, "Have they told you everything?"
"No." Ji Xing said.
"Then you can guess it..." Rimuru scratched his blue hair with a headache and said: "The empire, which they have been worried about for a long time, seems to be finally launching an attack. They are gathering troops, and the number is roughly estimated to be more than 700,000.
, I just don’t know if they will directly declare war on Tempest.”
Along with the three female demons, there are about 700 demons with high levels, who are also their elite subordinates. Most of them are now assigned to various parts of the world and have become important intelligence personnel under Rimuru.
It’s even better to be in the Eastern Empire, so the information I get is basically correct.
Tempest has been at peace for a year since Ji Xing's battle with the Burning Flame Dragon. Rimuru really enjoys this time - although it would be better if there is no harassment from the three female demons.
Now this peace may come to an end!
"Also, Yuuki seems to be doing well after going to the empire." Rimuru added: "He has become the marshal of the empire, one of the three generals under the Scorching Flame Dragon Velgrendo.
Hmm, what kind of One Piece setting is this? But I think the three generals must all be in single digits, and they are not easy to deal with. We will probably have to face the Burning Flame Dragon again."
She looked directly at Ji Xing, hoping that Ji Xing would take over the task of fighting the dragon species.
Ji Xing just smiled: "Oh."
……oh?
"Since the war is about to start, I have to go out and take refuge." Ji Xing thought: "Let's post a notice at the skill store. Just say that I am restless and will be traveling for a few months."
