Cursing himself for being too careless, Xia Jia quickly put away the lunchbox, added some cold water to cool it down, and then tried to quickly eliminate the source of the smell.
Slurping his noodles with gusto, Xia Jia had only taken two bites when he heard rustling sounds coming from the surrounding bushes, causing him to abruptly stop.
In the darkness, pairs of eyes glowing red slowly opened, sending chills down Xia Jia's spine.
"Damn! Unlucky! So fast!"
After putting down his rice bowl, Xia Jia grabbed his racket and held it protectively in front of him, his eyes fixed on the creatures in the dense forest.
As the little monsters gradually approached the campfire, Shaga finally saw what they looked like.
"Goblin..."
A very common monster in Western fantasy worlds, less than a meter tall, weak, and generally smaller than a human child, but...
“There are goblins that rampage through various worlds, after all.” Shaga became more vigilant.
"Gabu!"
These goblins paid no attention to Shaga's actions; they were already captivated by the tempting aroma before them, their eyes fixed solely on the greed for food.
A dozen or so goblins shoved and jostled each other as they charged toward Shaga's dinner.
Seeing this scene...
Xia Jia breathed a slight sigh of relief. His rationality was low, and he was within the range that Xia Jia could handle.
boom!
Shaga kicked a charging goblin squarely, sending it flying three meters. He then quickly followed up with several more kicks, knocking down the goblins that followed. However, their sheer number made it difficult for Shaga to keep up, and even his racket was temporarily knocked away due to the onslaught. Before long, at the cost of losing the sandbag on his arm, Shaga finally brought down all the goblins.
"Phew, thankfully it's just a regular goblin... perhaps even weaker than a regular goblin."
Shaga observed that some of the more severely injured goblins simply exploded into a cloud of black smoke, an unusual phenomenon that gave him a vague idea. Before he could examine the monsters' corpses further, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound.
boom.
"hiss--"
A stone struck Xia Jia hard in the temple, and a trickle of blood slowly seeped out.
"There are still enemies!"
Shaga covered his wound and turned his gaze to another group of goblins. However, these goblins were all carrying wicker baskets and tossing small stones up and down in their hands.
That was the weapon that injured Shaka.
Before Shaga could react, the five goblin throwers had already hurled their stones with sinister smiles.
"I'm super."
Shaja instinctively raised his hand to block, trying his best to avoid the attack. However, one or two stones still hit Shaja, making him wince in pain.
Shaga quickly hid behind a large tree, his gaze falling on the racket on the ground...
In an instant, he rolled to his racket, his eyes locking onto the location of the goblin throw. Facing five stones flying at him simultaneously, he swung his racket fiercely!
"Explosive Wave Ball!"
boom! ! !
The instant the rock and racket made contact, Shaja's eyes flashed with a crimson light:
"Everyday life~ na mei lu na! (Don't underestimate everyday life!)!! You bastard!"
Chapter 3 God
Hitting back five stones at the same time? This isn't even basic training for tennis players; it's just high school league. The training standard for genius players is to use 10 tennis balls simultaneously in a match.
This is much harder than landing a counterattack. If Echizen were here, he would definitely say, "Ma da ma da da nei." (You're still far from good enough.)
The five rocks, following their original trajectory, flew backward at high speed, bang, bang, bang, four muffled explosions, and the goblin thrower in the distance instantly turned into black mist and exploded.
Due to the irregular cut of the stone, one goblin managed to escape, but seeing its companion's demise, it showed a fearful expression and turned to run away.
puff.
At that moment, a throwing knife shot out from a gap in the forest, easily piercing the goblin thrower's head, and black mist exploded.
Pop, pop, pop.
A series of applause sounds rang out from the abyss-like darkness before us.
Shaga clutched his bruised arm, his gaze fixed on the direction from which the sound came, sweat mixed with blood from his wound slowly trickling down his forehead.
"Although they are surface monsters, their strength and speed have deteriorated, but they are more intelligent than the 'newborns' of the dungeon. It's truly eye-opening to see them take down a dozen enemies all by themselves."
A figure stepped forward, clapping, and the darkness slowly receded from him. It was a man, wearing a traveler's hat adorned with feathers, with handsome features and short, unruly golden hair. His eyes, the same color as his hair, now held a playful glint.
The newcomer wasn't strong, and a smile played on his lips, but Xia Jia grew increasingly terrified. No matter the angle, the person before him was utterly unremarkable, with nothing special about him except for his appearance…
Shaga felt a sense of oppression he had never experienced before, a feeling he had never felt even when facing the beasts on the field.
It's as if it exists in a different dimension, transcending the world!
They even forgot to remark on the fact that they shared a common language.
"what are you!"
Shaja's eyes flashed red, and all his muscles were mobilized, allowing him to retreat three to five steps in an instant. For the first time ever, he entered a state called "Zone," which was only available to a select few genius athletes.
That is the ability to boost strength, jumping ability, speed, vision, reaction and so on to 100%.
Even so, he felt that the being before him was still so unattainable.
"Mommy, don't be nervous."
The person in front of him lowered his hat, a smile appearing on his lips, and introduced himself:
"My name is Hermes, and I'm a guy who loves to travel. Hmm... just like you feel, I'm a god! Nice to meet you, child from another world."
god……
Xia Jia never expected that she would see a god for the first time on her very first day after transmigrating. Moreover, the sheer amount of information conveyed in that sentence instantly caused Xia Jia's brain to freeze.
The other party's self-introduction made Xia Jia realize what this world really was.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? No, it's actually a light novel world called "Familia Myth".
The story revolves around a large cave known as the Underground City, where the gods in the heavens seal their divine power and bestow "blessings" upon mortals, leading their kin to conquer the Underground City—a classic tale. It was a highly popular work in its previous life… no, in the world before that.
Shaka was also a loyal fan and naturally knew all about these things, especially the power system that, despite being an RPG game worldview, was overly reasonable, which Shaka quite liked.
of course……
The main point is that there are lots of girls! They're very pretty! They're good at giving things away for free! For free!
Take notes, it'll be on the test!
Understanding her current situation made Shaka's thoughts wander somewhat. This was largely because the gods of the DanMachi world were much safer than those of Haruhi Suzumiya and Jashin-D.
Those who have sealed their divine power theoretically do not possess the strength to threaten Shaga.
For this reason, even when the other party revealed their identity as a time traveler, Xia Jia was not afraid.
This world is inherently riddled with problems, and it's common for transmigrators from other worlds to appear from time to time. In fact, gods themselves are also a kind of transmigrator. Some lucky gods, even in the mortal realm, can occasionally make cameo appearances on other sets, contributing to the success of Potato Balls.
But Shaga clearly underestimated the allure of time travelers to the gods.
"Young man, would you like to have a chat with me?"
Hermes pointed to the campfire and asked with a smile.
Transmigrators are common, but that doesn't diminish the gods' interest in them. They are just a group of people who, out of sheer boredom, seal their divine power and descend to the mortal realm to experience the unknown and inconveniences.
Clearly, Shaga was a very interesting encounter for Hermes, like suddenly stumbling upon a limited-time gacha pool, and he wanted to find a way to make a profit.
Regarding this…
"Yes, yes."
Not long after, Shaga and Hermes took their seats and exchanged names.
Hermes immediately took Xia Jia's lunchbox and a large bag of instant noodles.
"Wow, I was drawn in by this aroma! Tsk tsk, this is a really good idea for preparing food. Can I buy these?"
The traveler god, who skillfully unpacked the instant noodles, cooked them in hot water, and then slurped them up in large mouthfuls, asked.
Why are you so skilled!
Thinking to himself, Xia Jia respectfully said:
"Take it if you want. In return, you have to take me to the nearest city and give me other food in exchange."
Shaga knew the advantages of instant noodles. Most of the supplies for the expedition were not tasty and were difficult to carry, but instant noodles solved this problem very well.
But Shaga wasn't planning on asking for an exorbitant price. Frankly, it was just an idea—drying food for easier carrying—and once explained, it wouldn't be difficult to imitate. The gods were clearly knowledgeable, but they wouldn't tell their kin about things outside their jurisdiction. They seemed to be following some kind of rule.
The main problem is that Shaka lacks the necessary production processes.
Of course, now that Shaga has directly provided physical goods, Hermes, as the god of commerce, will naturally use them to generate profits.
"Thank you so much."
After slurping up the noodles in a few bites, Hermes pulled his hat down, his smile vanished, and he suddenly asked in a serious tone:
