Chapter 48

Because of Augustus' words, Jiang Li paid special attention to observe the customers of the supermarket.

Sure enough, there are many new faces among the customers who come to the supermarket recently, and some have obvious non-human features. After leaving the supermarket, he also noticed that several new stores have opened in the shopping street recently. They are all merchants from other places, selling some goods that are not common in Duolei City, and they are also very popular.

Unknowingly, Duolei City has become more prosperous than before, and there are more adventurers staying in Duolei City than before.

With the arrival of spring, the monsters in the forest are also ready to move. While they begin to reproduce, they also begin to attack human cities. Therefore, many missions to conquer monsters have been posted on the bulletin board of the Adventurer's Guild. Adventurers come and go in a hurry. Before each departure, they will come to the supermarket to replenish food.

Among them, convenience foods are still the most popular. Recently, there is another thing that has become popular, that is, the gas stove. With a gas stove, you can make a fire and cook anytime and anywhere in the wild. It is very convenient, but not many people buy it. One is that you need to change the energy source, and the other is that everyone has skilled fire-making skills, and lighters are more convenient. On the contrary, almost everyone in the city has one. It seems that the trend also came from the city lord's mansion.

"After all, we have a magician in our team." Chris patted their magician companion, "Although other things are impossible, with Irene here, it is very easy for us to make a fire."

Irene was dissatisfied: "Hey, Chris, what do you mean other things are impossible? Don't forget, I saved you from the mouth of the magic wolf yesterday!"

"Sorry, I was wrong." Chris immediately bowed his head and apologized: "You are very important to us. With you here, we have solved many problems."

Irene snorted twice and forgave her companion.

Jiang Li tore off a plastic bag and put the things they bought in it, a bag full of instant food and water. He casually asked: "Mr. Chris, will your mission take a long time this time?"

"The monsters outside the city have been restless recently. We have accepted a mission to capture a kind of monster in the north of the forest. It will take a lot of time just to get there. However, the good thing is that the reward is very generous." Chris said excitedly: "Besides, I also got a new weapon. Maybe we can challenge higher-level monsters."

Jiang Li: "New weapon?"

With a "clang", Chris drew out the long sword worn at his waist.

This is a sharp long sword, with a cold light flashing at the tip. He has also used this weapon to kill countless monsters.

Chris said proudly: "This is it!"

Jiang Li observed for a moment, then looked at his expression and asked cautiously: "Is there any difference?"

Chris: "..."

Next to him, his companions couldn't help laughing, and turned their heads away when Chris looked over.

"I told you a long time ago, Chris, except you, no one can recognize what has changed in your sword." Irene said with a smile.

Chris put the sword back into the scabbard awkwardly, and said with a lost look: "I thought Mr. Jiang Li could see it..."

Jiang Li was puzzled: "What can I see?" "

This is a weapon made by a dwarf."

"Dwarf?"

"Yes, not long ago, when I was drinking in the tavern, I met a dwarf. He just moved to Dore City not long ago. Every dwarf is a master forger, so I asked him to reforge my weapon." Chris patted the sword at his waist, making a dull sound, and he emphasized and praised his new weapon: "Don't look at its appearance. There is no change, but it has become much more useful than before. Just a few days ago, I used it to cut off the head of the magic wolf."

Somehow, Jiang Li thought of the dwarf who visited the supermarket a few days ago.

Chris proudly added: "Of course, I didn't forget to recommend him the best store in Dore City, which is the supermarket run by you, Mr. Jiang Li."

Jiang Li: "...Thank you." Maybe he has seen it.

However, after that, the dwarf did not come to the supermarket again.

Maybe the hot pot base was not to his taste? Jiang Li guessed.

Rushing out of the city to complete the task, Chris and his companions put the purchased convenience foods into the magic backpack, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Jiang Li and left the supermarket together.

Not long after they left, Messenner came back.

After rubbing the mud on the soles of his shoes on the mat at the door, he walked into the supermarket. He seemed to be in a very good mood, and the corners of his light blue clothes turned out a brisk arc.

Jiang Li greeted him and continued to read the magic book in his hand.

Feeling that the shadow in front of him was a bit persistent, Jiang Li raised his head in confusion and met his emerald eyes: "Teacher?"

The silver-haired elf's ears moved, "You have been studying with me for a while, it's time to verify your learning results in practice."

What? Is there an exam?

Jiang Li's face froze, and he quickly read the remaining few lines of text in the magic book, and asked nervously: "When?"

Messenner thought for a while: "Now."

"...Ah?"

Messenner turned and walked out: "Follow me."

"..."

How come the teacher from another world would also walk in with a test paper and suddenly announce a quiz?

Jiang Li took out his staff and followed the elf out of the city. Along the way, he took the time to review the book. After leaving the city, Messenner grabbed his hand, and the flying magic surrounded the two of them, and the field of vision rose rapidly.

"Wait, wait!"

The pages of the book in his hand were blown, and before Jiang Li could come to his senses, he was already flying out. The speed of flying magic was very fast. They flew over the fields. The people working in the fields stood up and looked up, only to see two streams of light crossing the blue sky.

Before Jiang Li had time to review one more page, they had already reached their destination.

Messenner put the man on the flat ground, and soon after, he also landed.

He said briefly, "Let's get started."

"What's the content of the test?" Jiang Li looked around blankly.

They were already deep in the forest where monsters roamed. Looking around, the trees were towering and blocked out the sun. The roar of monsters could be heard faintly in the distance, and there was a gloomy and cold atmosphere everywhere. The deeper into the forest, the more dangerous the monsters encountered. It was difficult to see any traces of human activities here, and even adventurers who often came here to do missions rarely set foot here.

"Inside." Messenner said.

Jiang Li followed his line of sight and saw a cave in the distance. The cave entrance was dark, and it was impossible to tell how deep it was or what was hidden inside. Only a dangerous aura came out from inside.

Messenner raised his staff, and an attack magic shot out from the top of the staff and sank straight into the dark cave entrance.

Jiang Li: "..."

"Roar--!!!"

The sleeping monster inside was disturbed, and an angry roar came from the depths of the cave. Then the earth began to tremble, the mud and rocks on the ground shook, and the trees swayed.

A huge, furry claw poked out of the cave entrance, and the sharp claws reflected a sharp black and purple dark light. Where it stepped, the green grass on the ground withered quickly and turned into an unknown dark purple. Jiang Li held his breath carefully. The huge body of the monster drilled out of the cave, it stood up, its tall body blocked the sunlight, and its scarlet eyes scanned the surroundings, and finally, its gaze fell on Jiang Li.

"Roar!!!"

Jiang Li's mind was blank: "Teacher, could this be..."

Messenner flew off the ground, stood on the tree next to him, and looked down at the battlefield below.

Needless to say, the monster had already roared and rushed towards Jiang Li, and the land under its feet quickly withered and rotted wherever it passed.

The elf succinctly explained the requirements of this test: "Defeat it."

Jiang Li held his staff tightly: "......"

Are all the pop-class tests in your other world so dangerous? !

...

Half a day later, Jiang Li returned to Dolei City exhausted with the corpse of the monster floating on it.

The huge corpse of the monster appeared at the city gate, attracting the attention of many people. When Jiang Li brought the monster to the gate of the Adventurer's Guild, even Augustus hurried over after hearing the news.

"Be careful." Jiang Li reminded, "Don't touch it, it's poisonous."

Augustus stopped immediately.

The monster floated in the air. Having seen its toxicity, a large area in the forest had been contaminated by it. Jiang Li controlled the flying magic and did not dare to put the monster down, lest it bring disaster to Dolei City.

Augustus looked at the monster carefully, and his rich experience allowed him to recognize it quickly: "...Poisonous beast? Aren't they always in the depths of the forest, sleeping all year round and rarely appearing? Jiang Li, where did you encounter it?"

Augustus became nervous: "Have they started to move around in the forest?"

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li took a deep breath and changed the subject: "I heard that the Adventurer's Guild can recycle the corpses of monsters?"

"Yes."

The door of the Adventurer's Guild opened, and the staff inside ran out in a hurry.

They have their own unique way of dealing with Warcraft. They are fully armed, with their hands, feet and skin covered. They spread a special piece of cloth on the ground to prevent the invasion of Warcraft toxins. Jiang Li carefully placed the Warcraft within the range of the cloth, and the guild staff wrapped it and then lifted it in.

The president of the Adventurer's Guild sighed: "It has been many years since a warrior in Dolei City has been able to defeat this kind of monster. It is full of poison. If you touch it, you will die immediately. It is also extremely ferocious. Even the bravest adventurer dare not try it casually. Fortunately, this kind of guy sleeps all year round and has only a few days of wakefulness."

"Speaking of which, only a powerful magician like Mr. Jiang Li can kill it without getting close to it."

The president of the Adventurer's Guild looked at him with a sharp look: "Mr. Jiang Li, do you want to be an adventurer? I believe that if it is you, you may even be able to defeat the devil!"

Jiang Li refused tiredly and politely: "No, no need."

He did not have such a big ambition.

He just participated in a class test.

After receiving the monster, the staff of the Adventurer's Guild quickly counted it and handed him the reward for the monster. Since he was not a registered official member, the reward was discounted. Although

it was still early, after a battle with a high-risk monster, Jiang Li was hungry and tired after a large consumption of magic power and physical strength. He just wanted to return to the safe earth to have a big meal and then have a good sleep, so that he could have enough energy to continue fighting monsters tomorrow.

Yes, before he came back, Messenner had announced the results of this test. Since his performance was not up to standard, he would have to continue actual combat training with monsters tomorrow.

However, thanks to this quiz, Jiang Li realized the gap between theory and practice. Although he had mastered a lot of magic during this period of study, when it came to actual combat, he was not as comfortable as he usually was in practice. Several times, he had a great opportunity to defeat the monster, but he missed it due to negligence.

Before leaving, he passed by a tofu shop and the owner called him: "Mr. Jiang Li, have you seen Mr. Messenner?"

"..."

"He reserved a piece of tofu from me." The owner of the tofu shop said distressedly: "But he didn't come to pick it up at noon."

Jiang Li said with a complicated mood: "...He is still in the forest."

After the battle, a large area deep in the forest was contaminated by the monster's toxins. The elves who are friendly with plants are cleaning up the mess after their sudden whims and purifying the contaminated areas.
