Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

Centered on Aqua, a terrifying white light instantly enveloped the entire cemetery.

Wiz screamed in panic, "No! Wait! Stop!"

However, the light seemed to emanate from Aqua as if it were free, and all the zombies and undead in the graveyard vanished instantly upon contact with it.

The souls that gathered on Wiz's magic circle also vanished in Aqua's light.

The same fate befell the poor lich Wiz.

As she was enveloped in holy light, her body began to gradually become transparent, and she was about to disappear.

"Ah!! My body is disappearing? Stop it! My body will disappear, I will be exorcised, waaaaah!"

"Hahaha, you foolish lich, an existence that defies the laws of nature, an undead that defies the will of the gods! Vanish, vanish completely under my power! Ah!"

A bang sound,

Shi Yu flicked Aqua on the forehead again.

"I told you to stop."

"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts so much! Why did you hit me!"

Aqua turned around angrily, her eyes brimming with tears, and cursed at Shi Yu.

Because she was hit on the back of the head, her concentration was lost, and her purification skill was also interrupted.

Shi Yu ignored the mentally challenged goddess and turned to look at Wiz, who was now semi-transparent.

A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Yu's eyes.

My own dim-witted goddess is so terrifyingly effective against necromancy?

This is the Lich King! Once he was enveloped in the attack range, he didn't even have the slightest power to resist.

It seems I underestimated my own mentally challenged goddess.

From this perspective, the goddess race in this world is probably like the main god in the Xiannong world, existing independently of the combat system.

Shi Yu was overjoyed.

In this way, the forces of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which he was most worried about, would probably be completely defeated by him.

Of course, this only means that the undead type is naturally countered by itself. Ainz Ooal Gown Guild is a guild that helps different species. The undead type only accounts for a small part of its members, while the majority are monsters, which are not countered by Aqua.

At this moment, Shi Yu turned to look at Wiz and grinned:

"Lich Wiz, congratulations on being captured by me."

P.S. Anyone there? I've uploaded Wiz's picture.

Chapter 18: I'm willing to accept any kind of gameplay!

On the back of the devil spider,

Wiz hid behind Shi Yu with a trembling expression.

In front of Shi Yu was Aqua, who looked indignant.

At this moment, she stared at Wiz with ill intent.

"What are you doing, Shi Yu? Talking to this rotten orange-like thing is dangerous, or you'll get infected and become an undead too! Let me cast a purification spell on this guy!"

Aqua cursed and swore as she tried to cast a purification spell again to free Wiz.

Shi Yu glared at her fiercely, the threat in his eyes was self-evident:

"If you cause any more trouble, I'll make you regret it tonight!"

Aqua froze on the spot upon hearing this. Shi Yu, who possessed limitless energy, was a nightmare for girls in some ways.

Darkness, standing to the side, beamed with ecstasy upon hearing this. She shyly turned to Shi Yu and said:

"Um... I should be able to too..."

Shi Yu glanced at her and slapped her hard across the chest without any hesitation.

"Ah~!"

Darkness let out a startled cry, her face immediately revealing an expression of utter enjoyment.

This was clearly the best reward she could have received.

Only Huihui gave Shi Yu a look of disgust:

"Pah! Scumbag."

Shi Yu spoke expressionlessly:

"I think we should part ways here. Out of humanitarian concern, I can offer you some food."

Megumin, who had just unleashed a burst spell, was immediately filled with panic.

Despite her weakened body after losing her magic, she clung tightly to Shi Yu's leg as if grasping at a lifeline.

"Hmph, my only expectation is to use explosive magic. Food, reward food, and everything else are just byproducts. Even if you are scum, I am not afraid."

"As long as you are willing to take care of your meals, bathing, and other miscellaneous expenses, you can possess the power of a great mage! How can we not make a long-term contract with such a good deal?"

Shi Yu looked at the flustered Huihui and grinned mischievously.

"No, no, no, your power is not suitable for our weak team. It's a waste of your talent to be in our team. I probably only need an ordinary mage, not to mention that I am the weakest adventurer class."

Hearing that Shi Yu wanted to send her away, Huihui clung to Shi Yu's hands even tighter.

"No, no, no, no! It doesn't matter how weak or newbie I am. Even if I'm an advanced class, I'm only level 6. If I were a higher level, I definitely wouldn't be lying down when I cast Explosion Magic. So, let's talk this out. Please don't give up on me, okay?"

Shi Yu smiled coldly and slowly pried Huihui's hands apart:

"No, no, no, no, no, a mage who can only use magic once a day is too difficult to use. Not to mention I'm a scumbag, maybe even a lolicon. You'll be in great danger in this team."

At this moment, Huihui finally panicked, and tears streamed down her face.

"Please don't abandon me! No team is willing to take me in anymore. When exploring the dungeon, I'll do anything you ask, whether it's carrying luggage or anything else. Please don't leave me! I'm not afraid of lolicon! I'm willing to accept any kind of gameplay!"

Only then did Shi Yu release his grip, letting Hui Hui cling to his thigh with a slight smile.

You think I can't outmaneuver you, knowing the plot so well?

Megumin, a 'comedic magician' who only wants to learn explosion magic, uses all her skill points to enhance power and casting speed.

Even if they have extra skill points, they won't learn other advanced or intermediate spells.

In this world, many powerful monsters live in dungeons.

Megumin's Explosion Magic, a forbidden spell that cannot be used in confined spaces, becomes useless.

In addition, the Explosion spell has a very large range, and is therefore known as the Self-Destruction Mage. If used carelessly, it can easily injure teammates.

So Huihui waited a long time before finally getting to join Shiyu's newly formed adventure team.

At this moment, Shi Yu was Hui Hui's only glimmer of hope to continue her Explosion Magic. If she could not join the adventure team, she would really starve to death.

At this moment, Wiz cautiously poked his head out and explained to Shi Yu:

"Because I am a lich, I can hear the voices of the dead. Many souls in this cemetery are unable to return to heaven because they have no money and no one can hold a proper funeral for them. They wander around every day."

"So, as the King of the Undead, I, Ding Qi, have come here to see off those children who wish to return to Heaven."

"And the priests in this town are all very materialistic..."

Seeing Aqua's unfriendly gaze, Wiz quickly changed his wording:

"Should we say that if there's no money, processing will be postponed... or something like that...?"

Shi Yu glared at the guilty Aqua.

He knew perfectly well that the priests' worship of money was all because of this materialistic goddess in front of them.

Like father, like son. Her doctrines as a goddess are hardly legitimate; it's no wonder her followers are so materialistic…

"Alright, that's enough about this. For the next period of time, you will be my personal magic teacher. I need to master teleportation magic, advanced magic, or even lich magic as soon as possible. I will give you your freedom then."

Upon hearing this, Wiz glanced timidly at Aqua, then nodded.

By this time, the group had arrived at the edge of the Gobi Desert, at the border where it meets the Death Forest.

At that moment, a delicate shout suddenly came from behind them:

"Wait a moment!"

P.S. I will be uploading more character images gradually.

Chapter Nineteen: Another Goddess, Chris

Everyone turned to look at it.

A girl dressed in light clothing and wearing leather armor appeared behind them.

She has a small scar on her face, which makes her look a bit worldly, but she gives off a carefree and cheerful vibe. She is a beautiful silver-haired girl.

"Chris?!"

Before the beautiful girl opposite could speak, Darkness exclaimed in surprise.

The person who arrived was none other than Darkness's only friend, Chris, the incarnation of the goddess Eris.

She was actually responding to Darkness's wish and descended to Earth to become Darkness's friend.

It can only be said that before the main storyline unfolds, Darkness's daily life is truly pitiful.

After all, a Crusader who has no offensive capabilities and likes to die is not a popular character.

Chris swallowed hard as she looked at the people on the border.

Are you going to the forest on the other side?

As an avatar of the goddess, she naturally knew that crossing the boundary line meant leaving the world under their jurisdiction, so she came to remind Darkness not to wander off.

Upon arrival, I realized I had been a bit hasty.

Because she saw her predecessor Aqua with Darkness.

And from the man opposite him, he even sensed a power on the same level as his own.

That power is not possessed by adventurers or demon kings of this world; it is absolutely divine power!

But she had never seen this man in the realm of gods.

Shi Yu looked at Chris with amusement and smiled slightly:

"Are you Darkness's friend? Want to come along? I see you're a thief, and I'd like to hire you to protect us from monsters in the forest for a while."

Chris: "Huh?"

Shi Yu, like a big bad wolf, tempted Chris:

“That’s right. Winter is almost here, and there will be fewer adventurers’ quests, right? Why don’t you come explore this forest with us? If we find anything, we’ll split the rewards. Don’t worry, we’ve already set up a safe outpost in the forest, so supplies won’t be a problem.”

Chris looked towards the depths of the forest with a hesitant expression upon hearing this.

"You may not know this, but this forest is home to many powerful monsters, far beyond the capabilities of us novices, so..."

Shi Yu smiled and said to Chris:

"Well, well, don't worry. You saw it too, right? There are no wolves or spiders under us, they're all high-level monsters that this forest has subdued. Safety isn't a problem at all. The reason I let you come along is because you're Darkness's friend, so you can have a more comfortable winter, right?"

Upon hearing Shi Yu's explanation, Darkness looked at him with a deeply moved expression.

So he invited Chris for his own sake?

At this moment, Shi Yu cried out in his heart,

Yes! Yes, yes! This is a goddess's clone! And a goddess of luck at that! With her around, she can definitely offset more of the bad luck brought by that unlucky Aqua!

Chris glanced at the hellhounds and devil spiders beneath them.

She glanced at her follower Darkness with some unease, but finally nodded: "Alright, I accept your employment."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu's mouth instantly split open in a wide grin:

"Welcome to my team."

Then, remembering his pitiful skill points, he continued:
