Chapter 87 A little attack
Lu Cang decided that he would never go to a fortune teller again unless absolutely necessary.

It's not that the results were useless.

It's just that I feel like I spent the money, but it didn't feel like it was worth it.

Not knowing the outcome doesn't seem to cause any loss.

The money was only meant to put his mind at ease... It was a whopping 55,000 gold coins, and Lu Cang's heart was bleeding.

Back in his room, he took out the "City in the Circle Travel Guide," "Distribution of Monsters Around the City in the Circle," "Geography of the City in the Circle," "Specialty Foods of the City in the Circle," "Enemy Nations and Diplomacy of the Kingdom of Loren," and "On National Power"...

These were all borrowed from the library.

I wanted to read it directly in the library, but Parly was sitting at the management desk.

I felt uncomfortable reading in the same room as a fortune teller; it always felt like my secrets were being exposed.

In the end, I decided to go back to my room to check.

"The Thousand Caves of the Remote Regions..."

"The complex open-air cave structure, some of which may also be the entrance to the underground city, often features insect-like monsters, with ant-like monsters being the most common."

"Ant-like monsters live in colonies and are highly effective in collective action, but are often extremely weak individually. Most species are weak to fire, and their attack methods often include formic acid, pincer bites, ant venom, and foot spikes..."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Cang decided to replenish some of his soul first.

Your soul is your trump card.

With enough souls, one could overturn the table even when facing a fifth-tier monarch-level monster.

Moreover, he has now created several necromancy spells, all of which require a soul to cast.

Furthermore, Lu Cang also tried it out in the combat arena.

Using souls in the battle arena will also consume them in real time.

The battle arena will not return to its full strength with the next round of battle.

In other words, the battle arena only guarantees survival after the battle; all other states are completely synchronized with reality, and items consumed in the battle arena will also be consumed in real life.

"We also need to find a way to block divination."

You can ask Parly to do a divination yourself, and other people who might have ulterior motives towards you may also ask a diviner.

In Lu Cang's view, the fact that the diviner has no stance does not mean that he cannot be used.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, the diviner's statement is unfounded.

It's inherently vague.

If I want to help someone, I will frequently appear in their sight; if I don't want to help someone, I will never see them.

Is this considered neutral?

……

The next morning, Lu Cang met O'Bardes at the restaurant.

It's working at the restaurant again.

A level 6 Unbreakable Guardian is actually working as the head chef in a restaurant.

"Obades, I'd like a stir-fried ice stone."

In this other world, Lu Cang quite enjoys tasting these unique dishes that he can't find on Earth.

Lu Cang sat down in front of Obades, who was flipping the small shovel in his hand very quickly, seemingly frying tiny stones.

Dangdang——

Finally, with two scoops, the steaming hot stone was scooped onto the plate in front of Lu Cang.

"Hey, Lu Cang!"

It has appeared, the mysteriously refreshed Crimson City.

When Lu Cang saw a hand inexplicably appear on his shoulder, he knew who it was.

"Hehe~ You got a good rest yesterday, right?"

"What do you say tonight?"

Chi Cheng was shrouded in mystery.

Lu Cang suddenly remembered that the last time he treated someone to a meal, that person had said they would take him to "a place".

"How do you say what?"

Lu Cang pretended to be unaware.

Chi Cheng leaned close to Lu Cang's ear and said, "Let's go somewhere that will make you feel comfortable."

Oh~ Is it coming?

Indeed, you can't find that kind of place in Rennes; it has to be a big city like this.

"But today I plan to explore the dungeon."

Akari: "Where are you planning to go?"

"Go explore a few anthills and obtain some souls."

Although the profession of Death Priest cannot be known to outsiders, everyone in the party knows it.

Regarding this matter, everyone's attitude is quite clear: as long as they don't kill indiscriminately, it's fine.

"Oh~ what do you mean, want to go together?"

"Is Brother Chicheng coming too?"

"Anyway, it's harvest month syndrome right now."

"Harvest Month Syndrome?"

Chi Cheng explained, "That's right. The harvest month is over, and I've made a lot of money. I don't want to run around for those meager, pitiful rewards, so I have no motivation to fight monsters."

Doesn't this sound like post-holiday syndrome?
Especially during the National Day holiday.

"I'm going to fight monsters, you know."

Chi Cheng grinned and said, "It's okay, I'll just watch you fight anyway."

The Death Priest collects souls, which he must kill himself.

Oh……

It turns out I just wanted to have some fun.

Having a level 6 warrior protecting you is quite reassuring.

Lu Cang had no reason to refuse.

Rather, Lu Cang actually wanted to invite him to go with him, because he had some ideas and needed a strong person to back him up.

Lu Cang was afraid of messing things up if he tried things haphazardly.

Obades is at work now, and Kumironi has gone to preach at the Church of Life...

Everyone is quite busy.

The only one left was this seemingly idle and aimless soldier.

Chi Cheng laughed and said, "Haha, after all, you treated me the last two times, so let's consider this as paying back the debt."

7 gold and 26 silver, is it worth buying a level 6 warrior to protect yourself for a day?

It seems that treating them to a meal before was indeed worthwhile.

"Okay, let's go together then."

……

After breakfast, I stopped by the Adventurers' Guild to check out some quests.

The Adventurers' Guild in the City in the Circle is noticeably more impressive than that in Rennes Town.

Its area is dozens of times larger than the guild in Raine Town.

The lobby is extremely spacious, and there are even several service desks.

There's also a second floor, a VIP lounge, and... What does "fighting room (dispute mediation room)" mean?
Just as Lu Cang was thinking this,

Snapped--

Akari collided with a man.

A tall, bald man with a snake tattooed on his head grabbed Chi Cheng by the collar of his shirt and lifted him into the air.

"Hey! Are you looking where you're going?! Don't you have eyes?!"

ha?
Is it really possible for something like this to happen?
Suddenly I understood the purpose of this fighting room (dispute mediation room).

Before the man could say another word...

boom!
A swift black shadow flew out.

When he came to his senses, the man was already embedded in the wall in the distance, which was covered with countless cracks.

Uh……

Aren't we going to the fighting room?

"Guest, please resolve any conflicts in the dispute mediation room!"

Chi Cheng scratched his head and said, "Haha, sorry, I acted instinctively."

The young woman who issued the ticket to Chi Cheng sighed: "Please go to the front desk to pay the fine. Here is your ticket."

Oh... you get fined for hitting someone in public.

Lu Cang glanced at the amount on the ticket.

Hitting a level 3 adventurer incurs a fine of 50 silver coins, while breaking a wall incurs a fine of 10 gold coins.

A level 3 adventurer is only worth 50 silver.

Why does this wall cost 10 gold coins? Is it made of gold? Why is it so expensive? What's the purchase price?
While Akagi was paying the fine, a cleaner was taking care of prying the adventurer Akagi had just hit off the wall and sweeping him aside with a mop.

Brush off the blood from the wall.

Seeing how skilled and calm they were, I had a feeling that this kind of thing had happened more than once or twice.

Come to think of it, shouldn't we try to save them?

I think the guy lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back looks a bit like he's dead...
