Finally, Fang Zheng took Raphtalia and Lifana for a walk in the surrounding forests and killed all the scattered monsters. They finally reached level 20, which calmed Fang Zheng's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

MMP, it's so frustrating to see it stuck at the end and unable to level up.

"My dear hero!!"

Just when Fang Zheng was contentedly bringing Raphtalia and Lifana back to the village, he saw the village chief and a group of villagers standing there. When they saw Fang Zheng coming, they hurriedly bowed their heads respectfully.

"Thank you for saving us. If it weren't for you... we would have died here!"

"Just be alive."

Fang Zheng waved his hand calmly.

"As long as there is life, there is no shortage of firewood. No matter what, survival is the most important thing... um..."

"This is all thanks to you, the Shield Hero!"

"We will never forget your kindness!"

At this moment, other villagers also spoke up. Like Raphtalia, they also saw what the Knights did. But the villagers could not say much. After all, for the knights, resisting the wave is the first priority. It is only natural to make more or less sacrifices for this.

But for the villagers, if Fang Zheng had not summoned the Seven-Layered Ring of Blazing Sky to block the rain of fire, their homes would have been completely burned down.

"Well, it's time for you to go about your own business. After all, you still have a lot to do, don't you?"

"yes……"

After hearing Fang Zheng's words, the village chief and the villagers bowed deeply again, then turned and left.

“I’m thanked…”

Looking at the villagers' dispersing backs, Raphtalia muttered to herself.

“So look at actions, not words.”

Fang Zheng also glanced ahead, then retracted his gaze, reached out his hand, and gently patted Raphtalia and Lifana on the head.

"Okay, little guys, let's go back to the city today and find a place for you to have a big meal!"

Although the food in the wizard's mansion is also delicious, since it is a reward, it naturally has to be better.

As for spending money... Fang Zheng doesn't worry about money.

"yes!!"

Raphtalia and Lifana immediately became excited when they heard about food. As expected, although they looked like girls of sixteen or seventeen, their minds were still those of children. They forgot everything when they heard about food.

After returning to the royal city, Fang Zheng took Raphtalia and Lifana to a tavern they often visited, and ordered all the delicious food there. It should be said that they are worthy of being demi-humans. To be honest, Fang Zheng looked at the amount of food and felt that he could not eat it all. In the end, Raphtalia and Lifana ate it all while chatting and laughing!

Tsk tsk tsk, luckily Fang Zheng is rich. If it were someone else, he would have died in the waves or died of poverty.

After enjoying a satisfying meal, Fang Zheng took the two out of the tavern and planned to find a place outside the city to open a wizard's mansion. Although the hotel was not expensive, the civilization of this world was not very advanced. The facilities of the hotel were only a bed and a chair, and there was no toilet or anything. In contrast, the wizard's mansion not only had a toilet and a shower, but also a hot spring.

After returning home, they would wash their tired bodies thoroughly and then go to bed happily... This has become a hobby of Raphtalia and Lifana.

By the way, hot springs...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng remembered the Flower Pavilion he had exchanged for in the Tiandao Palace. That was a hot spring hotel that Fang Zheng had exchanged for a long time ago. However, every time Fang Zheng wanted to go there, a bunch of troubles would suddenly happen. Then, after Fang Zheng solved these troubles, he would forget about the Flower Pavilion.

On the contrary, it seems that everyone else has been there. When I think about it, could it be that the thing is incompatible with me?

Why does something go wrong every time I want to take a hot spring bath?

"stop!"

At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded, interrupting Fang Zheng's thoughts. He turned around and saw a group of people blocking the street in front of him. The leader was a young man with curly hair and a handsome face.

If Fang Zheng remembered correctly, this guy seemed to be the one who was summoned with a bow.

What was its name...I forgot.

"How dare you show up here, you shameless bastard!"

"???"

It was you who was blocking my way, why do you make it sound like I was deliberately provoking you?

"What are you talking about?! It's you who's blocking us!"

At this moment, Lifana immediately responded loudly, and the Bow Hero glanced at her, then retracted his gaze and looked at Fang Zheng again.

"Why didn't you show up when we were fighting the wave before?"

"Hmm? What does what I'm going to do have to do with you? Besides, I didn't say I had to resist the wave."

“Shameless bastard!!”

The Bow Hero clenched his fists in anger.

"You said so many big words before, but you don't even dare to resist the wave? Is this what you are like?"

"What are you talking about! The master clearly protected everyone in Root Village!"

At this moment, Raphtalia also loudly refuted.

"When the wave came, the master led us to fight against the monsters in order to protect everyone in Lute Village! Where were you three when the villagers needed you?"

"I……"

Faced with Raphtalia's questioning, the Bow Hero was speechless for a moment, but soon he clenched the weapon in his hand again.

"We are fighting the boss of the wave! If we don't eliminate the boss at the source, the wave will not disappear! Thanks to us, people have survived the wave! And this despicable guy is just watching the show from the sidelines!"

"Why do you need me to take action against a guy who can even kill you three weaklings?"

Fang Zheng sneered at this. Who was he? Why did he want to be lumped together with these three weaklings? If these three weaklings couldn't beat the opponent, Fang Zheng would still be interested in seeing the situation. But the enemy who could even deal with these three weaklings, then in Fang Zheng's view, was just a weakling.

"Sure enough...it's just as the king said!"

Facing Fang Zheng's answer, the Archer Hero clenched his fists in anger.

"You are not a hero at all! You are just a devil in the name of a hero! You used despicable and shameless methods to force the two girls around you to obey you!"

"No!"

"The master clearly saved us..."

"No need to say more!"

After hearing what the Bow Hero said, Raphtalia and Lifana immediately spoke up to refute, but before they could finish their words, they were completely interrupted by the Bow Hero.

"I have learned everything from the king! The shield in your hand is not a holy weapon at all, but a devil's weapon. You used that shield to brainwash them, right? As a brave man, I will never let a despicable person like you go!"

"Oh, so what do you want?"

After listening to what the other party said, Fang Zheng felt no emotion at all, and even felt like laughing.

"I will destroy you!"

The Archer drew his bow, drew his arrow, aimed at Fang Zheng, and shouted loudly with full momentum.

"Everyone, come together, now is the time for us to show justice!"

"Yes, my hero!"

Following the command from the Archer Hero, several of his followers also took up their fighting stances. Seeing this, Raphtalia and Lifana also hurriedly took out their weapons and stood in front of Fang Zheng. Seeing this, the Archer Hero's expression became even more gloomy.

"Despicable! You actually manipulated a girl to fight for you! How shameless! I will definitely destroy you!"

The Bow Hero suddenly shouted loudly along with a roar.

“Meteor Arrow!!”

The next moment, a shining arrow like a meteor suddenly shot out from the longbow of the Archer Warrior and flew towards Fang Zheng. At the same time, his followers also roared and raised their weapons to attack Fang Zheng.

"Let me do it."

Fang Zheng held down Raphtalia and Lifana who were about to rush forward, then he stretched out his hand to hold the shield and suddenly raised it up.

"Super solution!"

The dazzling holy light illuminated the entire street at this moment, and turned into a ruthless wave that roared forward. The brave companions who were rushing towards them screamed and flew backwards, and the meteor arrow exploded with a "bang" and disappeared into the air.

“Wow!!”

“Ahhh!!”

With screams, the Archer's companions fell heavily to the ground one by one, their faces pale. Seeing this scene, the Archer also widened his eyes in surprise, looking at the weapon in Fang Zheng's hand that had turned into a shield axe.

"What's going on? The Shield Hero's only weapon can be a shield, how could this happen?"

"You mean this?"

Fang Zheng chuckled and swung the shield axe in his hand.

"It didn't listen, so I hacked into its system and modified the code."

"What?"

Hearing this, the Bow Hero was stunned, and then his face changed immediately.

"You, you actually cheated!!"

"hehe."

"Unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable! A cheater like you has no right to be called a hero!"

"so what?"

Looking at the roaring Archer, Fang Zheng snorted.

"Are you going to complain to the GM?"

“Hmm…”

Faced with Fang Zheng's answer, the Archer was once again speechless.

If this were an online game, he would have complained to the GM right now. Unfortunately, this was not a game, but the real world. Although there was a system, there was no GM. So, even if Fang Zheng changed the code, who could do anything to him?

However, soon, the Bow Hero raised his weapon again.

"In that case, the only thing I can do is to destroy you in the name of justice! Watch out, Meteor——!"

Facing the Archer's actions, Fang Zheng just looked at him coldly and then spoke.

"Go to hell."

“Puff!!”

As Fang Zheng's words fell, a sharp sword blade suddenly fell from the sky, piercing through the body of the Archer and his companions, their thighs, calves, torso, and arms. One after another, sharp blades of different shapes shot out from the King's Treasure, falling from the sky and nailing the Archer and his companions to the ground.

“Ugh…Aaaaaaaaaah!!”

It was not until he was nailed to the ground that the Archer finally reacted and let out a shrill scream. His companions were killed directly in the sweep of the King's Treasure.

"It seems that until now, you still think that this world is just a game."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his shield and axe and slowly walked towards the Archer who was pierced all over his body.

Looking at the little brat in front of him, Fang Zheng's eyes were extremely cold. Of course, he could see that this guy, even if he was summoned to a real other world, would think he was in a game, and he didn't take anything else seriously.

"Games, huh? Well, have you ever played the Game of Death?"

Looking at this idiot, Fang Zheng thought of the players in the SAO world. That was indeed a game, even more like a game than this world, but the death there... was equally terrifying.

"Do you think you won't get hurt? Or you won't die? Or do you think you can be resurrected if you die? Well... Come to think of it, I don't know if there is such a skill as resurrection in this world."

“Ahhhhh! Help! Help!!”

"I've already said that anyone who dares to stand in my way will die."

Fang Zheng raised the shield axe in his hand and looked towards the Archer.

Then he swung downward.

In an instant, the world became quiet.

"Okay, we're done."

Looking at the Archer Hero whose head had been smashed to pieces, Fang Zheng snorted coldly. Then the next moment, the First Fire suddenly erupted, burning the Archer Hero and the bodies of his companions into ashes.

“Buzz——!”

At the same time, Fang Zheng saw the bow in the Archer's hand suddenly flash with light and then fly up.

Then...it fell into Fang Zheng's hands.

"Um?"

Looking at the longbow in his hand, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

What does this mean?
