Chapter 49

In the following days, Jiang Li was taken to the forest outside the city by Messenner every day to fight against terrifying and ferocious monsters.

After the poisonous crow beast on the first day, the monsters he fought every day were high-level monsters with high danger levels, one more difficult to entangle and one more difficult to fight. He had lived in Dolei City for so long, and he only knew that there were monsters living in the forest outside the city, but he never knew that there were so many and so terrifying.

Jiang Li dodged the monsters' attacks while thinking bitterly: Do people in other worlds live in such dire straits?

A ray of light gathered at the top of his staff and shot out at the giant monster not far away. At the same time, a sharp blade of wind magic was already coming at him with great momentum. Jiang Li had no time to dodge, and the protective magic moved as he wished. A transparent semicircular barrier rose around him, and the wind blade hit the protective magic heavily, but it could not break through the solid defense and dissipated.

The residual wave of magic power made the surrounding trees rustle. Jiang Li used magic to block a fallen tree without changing his expression. The next attack magic was already brewing at the top of the staff, but the roaring monster in the distance suddenly stopped, and the beast's eyes that were flashing red light dimmed immediately.

Boom!

The giant monster fell on its back with a bang, dust and sand splashed everywhere. From the thick fog, the motionless figure of the monster could be vaguely seen.

But he still did not relax the output of magic power. The attack magic light brewing at the top of the staff flickered uneasily. He waited for a moment and made sure that the monster really lost its life breath. The condensed magic power dissipated in the air. He had suffered a loss before. The high-level monsters would pretend to be dead and suddenly attack him when he was relaxed. If Jiang Li had not reacted quickly, he would have been hit.

He exhaled a long breath of stale air, his tense spirit relaxed, and he sat down on the ground exhausted. Who cares whether the ground is clean or not? Hun's whole body has become dusty in the battle with the monster.

Messenner flew down from the tree and landed in front of him.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the student in front of him. His expression changed for a long time before he said lightly: "Okay."

"I passed?" Jiang Li raised his head in disbelief. After days of practical training, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

Messenner frowned: "You already have the awareness of fighting, and your magic power is also very stable, but your physical strength is too poor."

Jiang Li: "..."

He, he didn't want to either!

He was just an ordinary supermarket owner, sitting behind the cash register every day. The biggest physical activity was to sort the goods, and now, magic can replace his labor. Being able to dodge the monster's attack in time during the battle with the monster, Jiang Li felt that his limbs were very flexible, which was really amazing.

Especially after so many days of practical training, Jiang Li felt that he was now comparable to a special forces soldier after escaping from life-and-death situations several times.

However, everyone in the other world is a physical monster, and fighting monsters is a common occurrence. Last time, Jiang Li saw an adventurer carrying a monster several times larger than himself around Dolei City without taking a breath. For example, the elf teacher in front of him once walked across the entire continent on his own two legs.

It's you people in the other world whose physical strength is too outrageous!

Jiang Li didn't have the energy to argue, and he took out a healing potion from the magic pocket he carried with him. He hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes and drank it with all his heart.

After an indescribable taste, the aching wounds of all sizes on his body healed quickly, and at the same time, Jiang Li's spirit became even more depressed.

His stomach growled, and through the layers of branches and leaves, the sun had risen to the top, and it was already noon. After a short rest, Jiang Li sat up and cleared a space, and used magic to move a large stone to serve as a table. He skillfully took out the self-heating hot pot he had prepared early in the morning from his backpack, as well as some packaged foods that were ready to eat.

He poured water into the heating pack, and while waiting for the hot pot to cook, he tore open a bag of sandwiches and wolfed down the energy.

Messenner took out a lunch box from his arms.

Glancing at it from the corner of his eye, Jiang Li quickly retracted his gaze. A whole box of green vegetables, not even eggs, only elves could eat it.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Jiang Li drank most of the bottle of water, and then asked: "Teacher, since I passed, do I not need to come tomorrow?"

"Yeah."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists with excitement.

At the same time, he asked curiously: "Teacher, what is my current strength?"

Because he had only fought against monsters, Jiang Li did not have a specific concept.

Since the first day of the poisonous black beast, every day when he brought the monster corpse into the city, the people in the Adventurer's Guild would show surprised expressions and look at him with admiration and respect. Jiang Li didn't know much about the monsters in the other world. At first, he thought he was really extraordinary, but day after day, he heard repeated exclamations. Every day, the elf teacher could find a monster deeper in the forest that was more powerful than the day before. After a long time, Jiang Li became numb.

Jiang Li thought: After all, the residents of Dore City really like to surprise monsters.

Messenner slowly swallowed the boiled cabbage in his mouth.

"It's too early." He said, "You don't have the ability to fight me now."

"Then..."

"Don't be too proud." The elf said coldly, "The ones you fought before were just some monsters. If you had met the Demon King, you would be dead now."

Jiang Li: "...Oh."

Jiang Li: _(:з"∠)_ He just said it.

The self-heating pot was boiling, and the misty white steam jumped out of the small hole. Jiang Li opened the lid of the self-heating pot, and the spicy and stimulating aroma came to his face.

Messenner, who was eating boiled cabbage on the side, turned his head and glanced at him.

After finishing lunch quickly, Jiang Li used cleaning magic to deal with the remaining garbage. After the light disappeared, the garbage on the ground disappeared without a trace. The omnipotent magic is especially convenient when doing housework.

Jiang Li used flying magic to float the monster's corpse: "Teacher, are we going back to the city?"

"No." Messenner said, "I have other things to do."

Jiang Li nodded and said without asking any more questions: "Then I'll go back by myself."

Messenner: "You are not allowed to use flying magic on the way back to the city.

" Jiang Li was shocked: "What? ! I have to walk back by myself? !"

"Your physical strength is too poor."

"..."

Flying magic gathered at his feet, and the elf flew off the ground. Before leaving, he warned: "Every move you make is under my watch."

"... Got it, teacher."

The elf's figure turned into a stream of light, flew to the other end of the forest, and disappeared in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li sighed, identified the direction in the lush forest, and resignedly floated the monster corpse towards the direction of Dolei City.

Wait, he is now deep in the forest. If he just walks, can he get out of this forest before dark?

Jiang Li: "..."

...

Dolei City.

Chris brought his companions and friends to the restaurant and sat down at an open-air seat.

He handed the menu to the dwarf sitting opposite him: "Eugene, you're welcome, order whatever you want."

The dwarf did not take it. He looked at the street absent-mindedly, his eyes occasionally lingering on the weapons of the passing adventurers. Obviously, he was not very interested in the food. At this moment, his mind was still full of thoughts about those hard and cold ores.

"I didn't want to accept your invitation, Chris," the dwarf said gruffly, "For this time, I'd rather stay by the furnace and listen to the sound of hammers hitting."

"I know, I know," Chris soothed, "it's just that you stayed in the house for too long and even forgot to eat. If I had gone a little later, you might have fallen into your furnace."

The dwarf muttered something in dwarven language, and no one present could understand it, but he quickly and honestly walked to the menu and pointed to a dish at random.

Chris quickly ordered the dishes and said, "Eugene, you should go out more often. The food in Dore City is the most delicious. If I hadn't been too late today, I could have taken you to Levi's restaurant. Believe me, once you have tasted it, you will never be able to resist that kind of delicious food again."

The dwarf snorted disdainfully, his thick beard covering his expression, but everyone could see that he disagreed.

But the other five people at the table disagreed even more than him.

"You really should try it, Eugene."

"You are a master forger, and Levi is the best chef in Dore City. His cooking skills are as great as the weapons you make!"

"As long as you go and try it... no, as long as you smell it at the door of the restaurant..."

"Food!" the dwarf retorted loudly: "Food is just a means to fill your stomach!"

Chris looked at his companions and said, "If you find it troublesome, you can go to the supermarket to buy a pack of hot pot base. It is the simplest to cook."

"..."

"Eugene, have you been there?"

The dwarf was silent for a moment, and reluctantly admitted: "...it tastes really good."

But he quickly added in an emphasis: "Five silver coins! It costs five silver coins!"

Five silver coins! He could buy a better ore instead of wasting it on a lunch.

Everyone fell silent.

Even the hot pot base could not tempt him. The dwarf in front of him was indeed one of the few people in Dolei City who could not be tempted by the delicious food in the supermarket.

The waiter quickly brought the dishes they ordered. The dwarf picked up the spoon and scooped up a large spoonful of monster meat stewed rice roughly. He ate it in big mouthfuls and said vaguely: "This kind of food is rare..."

"This is also the rice sold in the supermarket." Chris said, "It is also a food that can only be found in Dolei City."

The dwarf snorted, but did not slow down his movements. He ate the monster meat stewed rice in the plate like a whirlwind. Apart from that, after filling his stomach, he did not touch the other food on the table, but leaned back in his chair and began to think about the half-finished tools in his workshop.

Suddenly, his sight stopped at a certain place.

His body sat up straight, stretched his head, and looked at a figure passing by not far away. In excitement, he almost jumped up from his seat, and his knees hit the table heavily.

"Chris!"

Chris was startled: "What?"

"What is that?!"

"Which one?"

Chris looked in the direction pointed by the dwarf Eugene, and saw Ginger riding a bicycle slowly passing by.

"Oh, that's Mr. Ginger." Chris said, "He's the owner of the store called Supermarket that I mentioned."

"No, I mean the one under him..." The dwarf said excitedly, "What's that tool with two wheels?!"

"You mean that one?" Chris quickly replied, "That's Mr. Ginger's bicycle. Isn't it amazing? When I first saw it, I also thought it was incredible that it could be driven without a horse. Mr. Ginger has an even more amazing tool called a tricycle. Just sitting on it..."

The dwarf couldn't hear him anymore. His eyes were all attracted by the bicycle.

The body had smooth lines and a strangely stable structure. From the appearance alone, he couldn't identify or analyze the manufacturing principle of the tool.

And in the past few years of his life, it was also the first time he had seen such a tool!

Bicycle? Oh! Bicycle!

Eugene jumped off the chair in a hurry, ignoring the shouts of Chris and others behind him, and rushed in the direction where Jiang Li left with his stubby legs.

Damn!

Stupid human beings! What's so good about hot pot base?

The most incredible thing in that supermarket should be a bicycle!
