The girl who was punished by the gods counterattacked and became the group's favorite

Soon Giselle saw a man sneaking up on her with a bunch of sweet potatoes in his hands.

Tia's mind was still spinning when she felt herself being pulled. She looked at Gisai with some confusion, and then she followed Gisai's gaze to see the man.

The two looked at each other and felt that it was not a good idea for so many people to go together, so they finally decided to let Tia go over and ask.

"Hello, I'd like to ask where you picked this sweet vegetable?"

The man was still quietly watching the trap, but was startled by someone who suddenly came over, and the sweet cabbage in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing that the person coming over was a little girl, his courage returned immediately. "Why do you care where I picked them? Now you've made all my sweet vegetables fall to the ground! You just want to get something for nothing, don't you?"

"I'm just curious where you found these sweet potatoes. I can go pick some and give you some."

Tia took the initiative to show goodwill, hoping to make the person in front of her let down his guard.

Unexpectedly, the man opened his mouth and said, "If you want me to tell you where I picked the sweet potatoes, you can pick them up first, then give me half of them, and I will tell you where I picked them!"

Tia regretted coming to ask this person questions. She didn't expect that he was so greedy and domineering at such a young age.

However, three pieces of information can be obtained from the boy's words.

The first is that this place is a bit far from where the sweet potatoes can be picked. If the distance was short, the boy would not have told her the location because he was afraid of the hassle of going back and forth.

The second reason is that there are a lot of sweet potatoes in that area, otherwise he wouldn't have to go there all the time to pick them. He is also willing to share the location with her so he doesn't worry about her picking them all.

The third is that he did not see any slimes in the area where sweet potatoes grew in large areas, otherwise he could have just waited there.

Seeing Tia's serious and thoughtful expression, the boy suddenly became complacent.

"No, I've changed my mind. Not only do you have to pick up all these sweet potatoes for me, you also have to give me two-thirds... no, no, not three-quarters!"

You can tell what a greedy face Tia has without even looking. She turned around and left. She had come to talk to him just to get some information.

The boy looked at the receding figure and suddenly felt a little regretful that he had asked for too much. "Come back! Can I take less?"

The only response he got was the air.

Although Gisele couldn't hear the conversation between the two, she knew roughly what the boy had done by looking at his expression.

"Tia, how are you? Did that boy humiliate you just now?"

"What? Who was humiliated? Who dares to humiliate Tia!" Fina had been standing there with nothing to do. She was stunned for a while and listened halfway through. When she heard that her good sister was humiliated, she immediately looked like she was going out to fight.

"It's okay, he's just a greedy little guy." Tia comforted Fina, "Let's go in the direction the boy just came from. We should be able to find where the sweet potatoes grow."

"What are we waiting for? Let's set off!" Another boy in the team just came back from killing some slimes found nearby and heard the news. He was so happy that he seemed like he had taken stimulants.

"But from what I just said to that person, there are no wood slimes there." Tia paused, "Either they were killed or they hid themselves. But if they were hiding, there should be some wood slimes around them."

"So... this Slime King was most likely killed, and the surrounding area was cleared out." Giselle continued what Tia hadn't finished saying.

"Then we rushed here this morning, didn't we? After all, there aren't many slimes scattered along the way."

As soon as the boy finished speaking, Giselle covered his mouth and he struggled unconsciously. However, seeing that there was a low atmosphere in the team, he realized that what he said was not right and stopped struggling.

"Sorry……"

"It's okay, this is just a fact." Tia knew that such a situation might exist, but she still felt sad when she realized it existed.

"It's okay. You don't know whether anyone can predict the future or not." Fina couldn't bear to see Tia so depressed, so she hurried to comfort her.

"We're already here. It would be a waste of time to simply go back the same way. Judging from the map, if we go around from this side, we can just take another road to the waterfall."

Tia did not let herself be immersed in a depressed mood. She took the map and actively thought of strategies, pointing to the route on the map to show everyone.

"Yes, it happened that when I walked through that line, I had already killed almost all the people along the way."

"Then let's do it!"

After making sure that everyone agreed with the plan, Tia talked about the next step.

"But this is also to prevent us from wasting time on the road and getting robbed again. There's still an hour until twelve o'clock. We'll have an hour of free time, then come back here for dinner. We'll start from here at one o'clock and head over there."

Gisai was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "I know you still want to capture the Slime King and plan to go over there to take a look, but if we're a little late, this place might be taken away. Why don't we split up like we did yesterday?"

Tia didn't expect that her purpose would be seen through so easily. She felt everyone's gazes and nodded.

"Then let's discuss how to get in from the waterfall. Can you freeze the water flow in that area, then make a hole through the ice so people can pass through, or let people enter at the moment the ice breaks."

When Tia heard about the waterfall yesterday, she thought of this treatment method in the novel.

"Although the waterfall isn't particularly high, it's quite far away. It's a bit difficult for me to freeze that exact spot, and I can't accurately break a hole in the ice."

"Can we create a huge ice shield, with people holding up the shield, and let the water flow down through it?"

"No, the impact of the water rushing down is very strong, and the ice that can withstand the water is not light. Even if we put all of us together, we may not be able to hold it."

"Let's go back to the original method. If we freeze the waterfall, the ice will be very thick. How can we make a hole in it all at once?"
