Mission in another world with my transformed best friend

Wang Kai has never learned how to comfort people, especially girls younger than himself.

Perhaps it was the monotonous and numb work in the original world, the lack of social interaction, and the indifferent attitude towards everything.

Aside from his parents, this was the first time he had ever seen anyone else so reluctant to part with him; that familiar, ingrained kinship instantly welled up within him…

"Brother Kyle, were those words just now a request from your savior, an order from your adventure partner, or... a request between family members?"

"This is definitely not a request or an order... In this unfamiliar city, that guy and I have been able to have food and shelter, and we've been taken care of by you. Between us, we're more than family (brother and sister), so this is just a request."

"Okay, I promise you." Martha gently pushed Kyle away and looked up. "Now that we're family, let's stay together forever, never betray each other, and never be separated..."

After seeing that the other party had calmed down, Wang Kai patted Masha's head again.

"Yes, I remember you have the ultimate goal of rebuilding 'Tara Village'... Don't worry, I will do my best to help you achieve this goal in the future!"

"Thank you, Kyle... By the way, you're leaving early tomorrow morning, right? Why don't you go find Sister Lan now and tell her too?"

"No need, I'm afraid I'll see something that will upset my young heart. Sleeping like that with all that snoring, no matter how you look at it, is just blasphemy against the goddess... So, I won't disturb her. You should get some rest too, and tell her after I leave."

"Okay, goodbye Kyle, remember to come back safely."

……

The next morning, when Wang Kai woke up, tidied up, and came to the living room, there was breakfast and a pre-packed suitcase on the table, with a note under the suitcase.

"That girl Martha told me about you. I'm very busy and have to leave early this morning, so I don't have time to say goodbye. As your brother, I'll just say one thing: be careful not to act rashly, don't cause trouble, and don't even think about seeing your great-grandmother. What am I going to tell your mother if I go back to the original world?"

Remember to buy some local specialties before returning from the big city.

P.S.: Don't worry about Martha seeing this; she doesn't recognize Chinese characters.

Wang Kai smiled helplessly. That's how the bond between brothers is. Even if they don't speak for months or even years, once they get together again, they can speak without saying a word. A single glance is enough to convey a thousand words, and then they'll go out and drink until they drop.

Wang Kai carefully put away the note, slung his bag over his shoulder, and walked out without looking back...

……

But no one could have imagined that just east of Merc Town, in a large city located within the "autonomous region" of heroes—Katra City—a few weeks later, real and bizarre tales began to circulate among the citizens and a large number of adventurers.

In several beginner-friendly dungeons in the city of Katra, whenever the monsters respawned, the high-level monster areas and their bosses would all disappear. This unprecedented "bug" lasted for several weeks.

At first, it was thought that someone was camping out there, so several adventurer teams stayed up all night to monitor the BOSS area.

Later, according to eyewitnesses from the team, just as they saw the BOSS spawn, a strange green light accompanied by a strong wind swept by, leaving only the corpses of the BOSS and some high-level monsters at the scene...

This phenomenon not only first appeared in the "newbie dungeons" within the city, but a few weeks later, it spread to mid-to-high-level dungeons in the suburbs and even slightly further away from the city of Katra.

Some bosses even appear during battles with adventurer teams, only to have a strange green light appear and steal their heads...

It's important to know that the bosses in mid-to-high-level dungeons are generally over level 60. Being able to solo monsters and even one-shot them is something that, apart from heroes of that caliber, there are really no other people on the entire continent who can do it.

After all, the most certain thing in the rumors is that there is only one person who is the unidentified guy who specializes in robbing the leaders of the underground city.

Because the BOSS was stolen, many adventurer teams, after spending a lot of manpower and resources only to return empty-handed, fell into an economic crisis of "spending more than they earn". As a result, a large number of "low-interest loans" appeared in the city, leading to a new round of economic turmoil and a large number of loan defaults.

Furthermore, the bars are always packed, with many adventurers drowning their sorrows and complaining. Some adventurers are even considering changing careers, and there are even rumors that some are planning to become "robbers and bandits".

As a result, the largest adventurers' guild in Karat City is besieged by numerous adventurers every day demanding answers.

The Adventurers' Guild was also at a loss. The higher-ups sat down and discussed it for days, racking their brains before finally coming up with a conjecture.

It is speculated that "a certain group of great magicians" laid down "mass-destructive magic" in advance in the BOSS area.

It also thoughtfully includes a "note"... This magic is specifically designed for BOSSes and high-level monsters to reduce casualties among adventurers, and the magic has no effect on adventurers.

To be honest, this kind of "official statement" can only shut up novice adventurers, let alone seasoned adventurers. Even some of the higher-ups in the Adventurers' Guild are skeptical.

If none of these are feasible, then the only remaining possibility is that it must be done by a brave person.

Less than a month after the formation of this "mystery of the disappearance of the dungeon BOSS", the Four Heroes have successively sent out spokespersons to clarify the situation.

In short, the heroes had no reason and no need to do such a thing.

However, as numerous investigations yielded no results, and various unrealistic rumors emerged, embellished and exaggerated, the story began to be linked to the "resurrection of the Demon King."

Just as the imperial royal family was preparing to send an investigation team to intervene due to the enormous negative impact, this phenomenon, which had lasted for nearly two months, inexplicably disappeared.

As everyone guessed, the culprit behind all the strange news must be Wang Kai, who has completely entered "crazy point-farming" mode.

At this moment, he was like an outsider, squatting down in a secluded corner on the outskirts of Katra City, repeatedly swiping his finger up and down on the "attribute bar" that appeared in front of him.

After repeatedly confirming the information above, which stated "Level 65, Strength, Agility, and Intelligence are all close to 800," Wang Kai finally closed the app with a reluctant expression. He then stood up, stretched, and turned to touch the overflowing magic stones (boss-exclusive drops) in his satchel, a "happy dilemma" creeping onto his face.

Wang Kai wasn't particularly concerned about the "farce" that had been unfolding in Katra City for over a month, but he was still quite self-aware. Without following the original "retirement-level 20-retirement-level 20" path, it was impossible for him to reach the heights that some A-level adventurers had never touched in most of their lives in such a short time.

Although he has been numbly grinding monsters all this time, the feeling of "rising to the top in one step" still makes him feel a little giddy.

However, behind the euphoria, trouble also followed...

First, there's the issue of his class. After "quitting" 24 times, he's still a "newbie," receiving no class-specific skill bonuses and only able to use basic "elemental magic"...

To be honest, Wang Kai felt a little regretful about not having an advanced class, but the remaining four classes in Katra City were all support-oriented classes like priests and sages, which didn't match his "game mindset".

Furthermore, in order to maximize his "point-farming" efforts, he didn't consider anything before his final "resignation."

Secondly, there's the issue of attribute points. The 30 attribute points he got for free during his last "resignation" wouldn't make a significant difference, but Wang Kai had no choice but to do it under the principle of "every little bit counts."

He knew that a difference of 50 in attribute points was enough to determine the outcome of the battle, a difference of more than 100 meant it was "impossible to fight," and a difference of more than 200 meant only an instant kill was possible.

Therefore, before we know the attributes of the four heroes, we must ensure that we are strong to a certain extreme.

No competent player wants to see themselves painstakingly build up their stats only to be instantly defeated by a "high-level, pay-to-win" player, leading to a moment of despair where they might even smash their mouse and keyboard.

Under such circumstances, one's profession becomes less important.

The final problem is that this large bag of "BOSS-exclusive drops" must be disposed of.

Over the past two months, the act of stealing kills and running away in various dungeons has aroused the "public outrage" of hundreds or even thousands of adventurers in the city.

After all, he needed to eat, sleep, and spend money while "leveling up" in a strange city all by himself, so he just picked up the most valuable magic stone from the loot of defeating the BOSS and ran away.

Although I earned some money in the early stages, I later had to run more and more dungeons every day, so I didn't have enough time to earn rewards.

Over time, I accumulated a large bag of them...

According to the Adventurer's Guide, these items can be sold or recycled at the Adventurer's Guild.

However, many people are aware that during this period, almost all the bosses in the underground cities and even the surrounding areas were monopolized by one person.

Now, whoever shows up with this huge pile of "evidence" is practically telling everyone, "Hey, I'm the BOSS kill machine, I can kill him in 999 seconds with one hit, come and get me if you dare!"

Wang Kai felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of the consequences. Initially, he thought of digging a hole to bury it or throwing it away and leaving.

Later, he felt it was too much of a waste, as exchanging it for money through legitimate channels was no longer realistic. So, he had no choice but to come to this hidden black market that he had only found out about after asking around for a long time.

Logically speaking, there's a high chance of encountering a rip-off shop owner here, but it's also the quickest and safest place to deal with this bag of "deadly evidence." Even if you can't completely "cash it out," you can exchange it for some legendary "black market equipment"...

"Young man, is there anything I can help you with?"

Based on intuition, I stepped into a store that looked rather large, and from the corner of the store came a voice that sounded like that of a dying old man.

Following the sound, Wang Kai saw an old man with a goblin-like build and a full head of white hair sitting on a stool, smoking a pipe. He looked up and the words "Welcome" slowly slipped out from between his yellow teeth.
