Elsa held the spear in her backhand in front of her and slowly untied the black cloth.
The monster roared and rushed towards them.
"Elsa, be careful, it..."
Vivian shouted hurriedly and ran to Elsa, but saw Elsa pass her, holding the butt of the gun and swung it lightly. With a bang, the gun hit the monster's body heavily. The next moment, a gust of wind blew up Vivian's hair, and the monster in front of her had disappeared, leaving only a mixture of internal organs and meat all over the wall.
Vivian was stunned.
——What happened just now?
Elsa lowered her head with a look of suspicion, glanced at the spear in her hand, weighed it, and frowned slightly - she originally planned to catch a monster and explain it in detail to Vivian, but it turned out that she had clearly controlled the output and only used a very small force to attack. Elsa was very confident in her control, but she killed the monster directly in seconds.
What's going on? Has his strength increased recently? That shouldn't be the case, the data shouldn't have changed in a long time.
Aisha quickly checked her panel.
【Elsa Faris】
【HP: 99999】
[Magic Points: 2]
【Strength: 99999】
【Spirit: 1】
[Unallocated points: 0]
[Idea (Vivian Trauns): 71]
【-】
Isn't there any change? And it doesn't look like I've gained any experience points either...
and many more?
What's that "Favorable" thing at the end? That "Vivian Trawins" behind me... is that the "Vivian Trawins" behind me?
……
------------
34. Theoretically, I am half as powerful as the strongest person in the world.
[Idea (Vivian Trauns): 71]
Elsa was stunned when she looked at this data column - this was the first time she saw new data, but she stared carefully at the name behind the favorable impression, and then looked at Vivian behind her strangely.
this is……
Favorability? Favorability? Vivian?
She treats me, could it be...
—Oh, only 71? That’s fine.
Elsa's mood, which had just been rising, immediately calmed down, and she even felt a little disappointed.
The upper limit of the value is 100,000, but the [Favorability] is only 71. When Elsa first discovered the existence of the panel, her strength was also over 100. 71 points is probably just average, nothing surprising. Maybe throwing a ball of wool to the wild cats in the town would require 30 or 40 points.
Rather, what puzzled Elsa was: why did Vivian appear on the panel?
Could it be that Vivian was considered a "friend" by Elsa? But why hadn't I seen the names of other nuns mentioned before? Could it be that Vivian's status was unusual? Or was there some other reason?
And then again, the content of the data panel is becoming more and more abundant.
"Elsa...w-what's wrong with you...why are you staring at me..."
Vivian clutched her staff, looking at Elsa cautiously and somewhat worriedly. Her soft voice and the clean and pure gaze behind her glasses remained the same as always. Elsa could never see the word "favor" in Vivian's eyes. There was only a hint of uneasiness and restraint. Vivian had always been like this.
After thinking for a while, Aisha's eyes moved slightly, staring into Vivian's eyes and asked directly: "Vivian, what do you think of me?"
"what?"
"That is, you like... well, it doesn't seem right to say that. Anyway, what do you think it feels like to be with me?"
“Eh? W-what does it feel like… Uh-uh…”
Vivian blushed, which made Aisha slightly suspicious. She walked up to Vivian, raised her hand and gently stroked Vivian's face, showing her signature smile from her previous life.
"Relax, just look at me."
"If Aisha doesn't mind... I, I really want to be Aisha's friend..."
While Vivian was talking, Aisha kept staring at her, and that direct gaze made Vivian feel a little overwhelmed.
After a careful look, Elsa confirmed that Vivian's gaze wasn't filled with affection or hesitation; it was simply the look common among nuns. Although Vivian blushed, it was simply shyness, a shyness not due to romantic feelings but rather to her personality. Vivian's eyes remained clear, not the kind of playful, scripted scene unfolding.
Elsa smiled and looked away.
She put her hand down, but sighed inwardly - Elsa could choose not to have love, but if she was told that she really didn't have it, that would be a different story.
In short, Elsa was sure that the "favorability" on the panel was different from the "favorability" in the game she had come into contact with in her previous life.
Vivian is not a nympho.
"It's a little late to say this now, but I'm glad to be your friend. Please give me your guidance."
"Please... please give me your guidance!"
Aisha extended her hand, and Vivian hooked it cooperatively, a smile on her face - the fourth time, she thought.
……
Vivian's feelings for Elsa were not in the sense of love. Elsa understood this and didn't care about it anymore. For straight women and gay men, a sense of distance is very important.
After all, Elsa didn't want to be a bad girl. If Vivian really fell in love with her, she would be in a difficult situation. As for accepting it, she herself didn't seem to have that intention for the time being. As for rejecting it, it would be too torturous for roommates to see each other all the time - but straight girls don't have such concerns.
Aisha thinks this is fine now.
"Oh, by the way, Vivian, come over here too and take a look at the monster's corpse."
Elsa remembered the important matter at hand - they were still in the underground palace.
Vivian followed immediately.
"This body looks like it has been dead for a long time."
Elsa squatted down to examine the monster's corpse. It was more like a rotten skeleton than a corpse, with pieces of rotten flesh hanging on the bones. It was hard to imagine how a creature with rotten muscles could move.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Vivian looked at the corpse, but her gaze quickly shifted to Elsa's profile.
Elsa raised her eyes, and Vivian looked away again, pretending to be observing the corpse very carefully.
"This should be your first time encountering an undead creature, right?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Since most of these monsters are transformed from corpses, they are highly venomous. If you are scratched or bitten, you must treat the wound as soon as possible to prevent the venom from spreading."
“Oh, oh…”
In fact, Vivian didn't listen to the previous words. Compared with Elsa who was explaining seriously, she suddenly felt that she was a little bad for being distracted in front of Elsa.
"Also, we can't just leave these corpses like this. Because of the presence of magic energy, even if a monster dies once, it's possible for it to be resurrected at any time. This is the trouble with undead creatures... So if we don't completely crush the corpses, it will be very troublesome."
"The book says you can use kerosene and..."
Just as Vivian opened her mouth, Elsa swung her fist. With a bang, Vivian felt a shock under her feet and a crackling sound of gravel. Vivian saw that the body of the monster had completely turned into blood residue. Not to mention being resurrected as an undead creature, even its internal organs could not be pieced together intact.
A foul, rancid smell emanated from it.
"That's dead."
Aisha said.
"Of course, you can use the methods in the book. In short, disposing of the body or sealing it is both feasible. However, considering that fire consumes oxygen, the best way is to crush it directly. Of course, if you are not strong enough, you can't do it. In that case, you can only use traditional methods."
Vivian seemed to understand, but nodded blankly.
Elsa observed Vivian intentionally or unintentionally, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out why Vivian's name appeared on her panel - was it because Vivian was also a candidate for the Holy Nun?
This may take some time to answer, and there will definitely be no answer for the time being.
Elsa simply put it behind her.
"Um...Elsa..."
"Ok?"
"You... are so amazing..." Vivian glanced at Elsa nervously, feeling a little frustrated because she felt like she couldn't help at all. "Are all gold medal adventurers... as powerful as you...?"
Elsa thought of Brahmot - he was also a gold medal adventurer, but he seemed to be a little lacking.
"If you count, I'm probably half as strong as the strongest person in this world."
Aisha thought about it carefully and felt that this was a question worth exploring.
She once imagined that a panel with full data points should represent the most powerful existence in the world. Then, if she maxed out two of the four items - in theory, it should be equivalent to being half as powerful as the strongest in the world, right?
But it’s enough for now. She is invincible in Weilin Town.
"Ahem, anyway, even though it doesn't sound great, don't worry. So far, I haven't met anyone more powerful than me. You can rely on me. After all, we are friends."
Aisha didn't think she was bragging.
After hearing this, Vivian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her depressed mood was immediately swept away.
It turns out that no one else is as powerful as Elsa, and it seems that her mother is not as powerful as Elsa, but she, Vivian, has become friends with such a powerful Elsa.
This may be something to be happy about.
"Let's continue down."
Elsa stood up, raised the torch and walked forward.
Vivian looked at Aisha's back, pursed her lips, and trotted after her.
……

35. Mystic Sage
As Elsa and Vivian walked along, all the magic stones along the way were looted by the adventurers who had come here earlier.
Continuing to walk forward, the corridor of the underground palace suddenly became winding and steep, and seemed to be going deeper, like a spiral descending staircase. After walking about a hundred meters, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.
"This should be the first floor, but I didn't expect there would be such a huge tomb here."
Aisha said.
"I never thought... there was such a big place underground..."
Vivian looked ahead in shock. A vast underground cavity appeared before her, filled with neatly arranged sarcophagi, enormous stone tablets, and a massive cross and a statue of a goddess at its center—this was actually a vast underground tomb complex. But strangely, the stone walls and bricks above the cemetery had long since collapsed, replaced by something like tree roots, connected like a giant pulse, supporting this space. They coiled, knotted, and twisted, forming a vast underground cavern. The terrain was uneven, and it was as if they were looking down from a height.
Vivian guessed that it was probably what the book mentioned - a "tumor" in the earth veins.
"Generally speaking, underground palaces rarely form spaces of this size. This is probably an expansion of an already existing underground tomb."
"I see……"
Vivian nodded. The book didn't mention this.
Elsa looked at the stone tablet in the middle of the huge tomb and identified the words on it. They were mostly eulogies and records, telling about the soldiers who fought against the demons and resisted the invasion of the Demon King when the fortress was first built fifty years ago. However, large parts of the text had long been corroded and blurred by the passage of time. Crystals of magic ore emerged from the cracks in the stone tablet, and it looked like it was about to collapse. Only the statue of the goddess remained spotless and holy.
Elsa looked at the statue of the goddess, and the statue seemed to be looking at her. This inexplicable feeling also appeared in Vivian's heart, flashing away.
"There seems to be something going on over there."
"what?"
When Vivian noticed, Aisha had already walked forward, and Vivian hurried to catch up.
At this time, there were already many other adventurers and mercenaries in this vast underground space. People from the Knights and Magicians could also be seen. Torches were lit all around, and corpses of monsters were lying everywhere. The dead monsters emitted a foul smell. Some adventurers were still fighting with monsters running out of the corridors in other directions, while others were looking for magic ore with wide eyes - a crystal-like ore that grew from the ground and walls.
Magic ore is a valuable material and one of the main materials for processing magic devices. If you are lucky, you can encounter ores containing "nuclear crystals", which are usually processed into magic stones.
"Hey! I found this place first!"
"It's obviously me!"
