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

If we calculate based on this attribute increase, when I reach level 100, my minimum attributes will probably reach over 2, and my maximum stamina and magic resistance could even reach over 6.

Keep in mind that even when Nagumo Hajime was above level 100, his stats were only around 20,000 points...

Ainz Ooal Gown's highest magic power seems to be only 1980...

Shi Yu looked at his level and attribute values ​​and fell into deep thought.

Or... should we move forward the plan to blackmail Ainz Ooal Gown?

P.S. I'm asking for data and monthly votes; your support is my motivation to write...

Chapter 59 Skill Upgrade, The Mysterious Stone [Fifth Update]

As Yu grew stronger, he sensed that the forces of Nazarick, where Ainz Ooal Gown resided, were growing weaker.

Ultimately, it's just a top-tier guild in another world of a game.

In the game, he is not one of those NPCs who appear only in cutscenes. He is not even among the strongest fighters, but at most he is barely among the top ranks. In the ranking battles, he mostly fights with his intelligence. Although he wins more than he loses, it also means that his strength is not invincible.

A typical player's magic power is around 1300.

Ainz Ooal Gown is 1980, which is roughly equivalent to 1.5 Heroic Glory if we use the Brave River Radiance as a benchmark.

There is still a huge gap between him and a true isekai anime protagonist like Hajime Nagumo, who has maxed-out stats of tens of thousands.

Although Ainz Ooal Gown appears to be invincible in the other world, it's all because the world he transmigrated to is a low-magic other world, and the strongest beings there are all players who transmigrated from games.

Simply put, they lack uniqueness, and their potential is limited by the game world.

The reason Nazarick seems so strong is entirely because he's the kind of character who reaches his peak right from the start; he doesn't need any development time and is already invincible in the other world.

Furthermore, the absence of powerful native gods or forces in this other world makes Ainz Ooal Gown seem incredibly awesome.

But in reality, the attributes weren't that great, so Shi Yu started thinking about blackmailing Ainz Ooal Gown again...

……

After confirming that the demonic body could be used

Shi Yu then began to train his skills.

Unlike the skill point system in the world of Konosuba, skills in the world of Arifureta seem to have hidden attributes similar to experience points.

As proficiency increases, corresponding skills will automatically emerge.

After inheriting the protagonist's halo, Shi Yu also seems to have inherited his talent as a master alchemist.

After several days of training, a derivative skill, [Mineral Identification], also appeared in the skill tree.

It seems to be a skill possessed only by the highest-ranking blacksmiths directly under the kingdom.

To put it simply, it's similar to the exclusive skills of a higher-level Master class.

"Identify!"

Shi Yu activated his skill on a piece of green light stone.

Immediately, an introduction to the Green Light Stone appeared on the status panel.

[Green Light Stone: A mineral with the property of absorbing magic power. It emits a pale green light after accumulating magic power. Furthermore, breaking it while it is accumulating magic power will release a burst of light equal to the accumulated amount in an instant.]

"Huh? This looks really convenient."

Huihui leaned over to look at the information on the status board; adventurer cards don't have these features.

Currently, Shiyu only has two status stone tablets left behind by Kaori and Shizuku. Originally, Shiyu thought they were useless and did not collect them.

When he returned to the maze, the unfortunate children who had been reincarnated were gone without a trace, and even the status tablets were all damaged.

Shi Yu nodded and said:

"When we have time, we'll go to the Kingdom of Hailihe and extort more money from them."

The status bar is much clearer than the attributes recorded on the adventurer card, and it updates in real time.

Shi Yu casually tossed the green light stone aside.

This should be the raw material that Hajime Nagumo used to manufacture flashbangs.

However, he doesn't seem to need this thing, since with his attack power, he doesn't need to launch a sneak attack at all.

He then released his magical perception again.

This time, Shi Yu discovered a large area of ​​sensory blankness at the edge.

This also means that the magic in that area is ridiculously strong.

Then Shiyu called Aqua and the others to this area.

Soon the group arrived at a cave that emitted a pale blue light.

The entrance to the cave was only half a meter in size, and many kicking rabbits and clawed bears roamed around it, seemingly guarding something.

But Shi Yu knew that this was simply because the dense magic in the vicinity caused the group of demons to gather unconsciously.

"Giant Stone Puppet!"

Shi Yu snapped his fingers, and a giant stone giant with a level of around 50 slowly emerged from the side.

This thing can both attack and withstand damage. Even if it breaks, it will reassemble itself until its magic power is exhausted. It is a very useful summoning skill, which he learned from the Annihilation Angel Tia.

Currently, Huihui is still in the cooldown phase of having her magic depleted, so Shiyu naturally wouldn't let Darkness go up and get beaten up by herself.

仦裞羍

763480157

With a roar from the stone golem, many demons were drawn to this uninvited guest.

Meanwhile, Shi Yu leisurely led everyone towards the cave using his stealth skills.

Darkness watched the besieged stone golem with envy, wishing she could rush up and take its place at any moment.

Shi Yu, without any hesitation, transformed the all-purpose farm tool into a stone pickaxe and tossed it to the guy.

"Stop looking, let's dig a hole first, there's treasure inside."

Darkness regretfully withdrew her gaze, picked up her stone pickaxe, and began mining.

To be precise, the dog hole was dug into a tunnel that people could pass through.

The incredibly hard abyss rocks became as fragile as tofu under the help of the all-purpose farming tools, and soon the group arrived inside the cave.

Aqua looked at the small, shimmering blue stream on the ground with a surprised expression:

"This water... has such a strong life force."

As she spoke, she reached out to take a handful to try.

As a result, Shi Yu slapped him on the head.

"Why did you hit me?!"

"Idiot, are you planning to purify all this stuff into plain water?"

As the goddess of water, Aqua possesses a natural purifying ability; any water that comes into contact with her body will turn into pure white water, and even the source of the water is not spared.

The purified water will have all its other properties covered, except for a slight holy attribute to the undead and demons.

Aqua once purified all the hot springs in her own base into ordinary white water, which led to her being wanted by her own followers.

The blue water in front of us didn't look cheap at all, so how could we let that idiot Aqua purify it?

Ignoring Aqua's tearful eyes, he dragged her to the source of the stream.

"This is……"

Shi Yu stared blankly at the top of the cave.

There exists a basketball-sized mineral that emits a pale blue light.

The ore was embedded in the wall as if it had become one with the stone wall, and drops of water emitting a faint blue light kept gathering in the puddle.

P.S. Five updates today, rave reviews!

Chapter Sixty: Ebony and Ivory – Useless Except for Their Handsome Appearance

This is a stone full of mystery.

To describe it precisely, it's like deepening the blue of a sea-blue gemstone and then making it shine.

"Identify!"

As the skill was used, a detailed description appeared on the status tablet.

[Divine Crystal: The most significant treasure recorded in history, a legendary mineral already recognized as a lost item.]

[Divine Crystals are the result of magical energy flowing across the earth for thousands of years, naturally converging and crystallizing. They are approximately 30 to 40 centimeters in diameter. After several hundred years of crystallization, the magical energy will reach saturation, and the excess magical energy will liquefy into divine water.]

[The divine water can heal any injury or disease, but it cannot regenerate severed limbs. Continued consumption can grant longevity; it is known as the elixir of immortality.]

Looking at the description on the panel, Aqua's mouth immediately watered.

"My God, an elixir of immortality! It must be incredibly valuable!"

Shi Yu nodded, then shook his head disdainfully and said:

"You're a goddess, after all, and you're immortal. What use is this to you? You might as well give it to me."

Immortality! This thing is amazing.

Huihui clung to Shi Yu's back, her arms and legs wrapped tightly around him, and said in a daze:

"Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me! This thing can restore magic power, right? Does that mean I can cast Explosion spells many times a day?"

Darkness stared at the puddle, her face flushed red, clearly indicating that her mind was filled with some unhealthy thoughts.

Shi Yu suddenly froze.

Restore magic power?

Mana ore?

He finally remembered why this thing looked so familiar.

Isn't this the high-end version of Mana ore that Megumin used to bombard the Demon King's castle in the final chapter of Konosuba: The World of the Dead?

You should know that when Megumin unleashed dozens of burst spells in a row, the poor children of the Demon King's army thought that a Demon King from another world had attacked.

Now that I have obtained something of even greater quality, doesn't that mean Huihui can graduate ahead of schedule?

However, Shi Yu also knew that this was unrealistic. Even if there was enough magic power, Huihui's body could not possibly withstand such a high level of magic power overdraft.

You should know that all of this guy's skill points are invested in explosive magic. Every time he releases it, he drains all the magic power in his body, and even consumes more of it.

Shi Yu looked warily at Aqua, whose eyes were shining, and spoke.

"Darkness, keep an eye on Aqua. I'll take this back first."

He felt that if he wasn't careful, this mentally challenged goddess might not be able to resist purifying him.

Darkness: "Huh? Ah!"

Shi Yu gave Darkness a strange look, wondering what she was thinking about so intently.

Ignoring Aqua and Megumin's strong objections, Toki then used teleportation magic to transport all the ore and divine water back to the Great Tree Village.

If used properly, this thing is like a fountain of life; it's quite a treasure.

After settling the divine crystal, Shi Yu and Aqua and the others began exploring the maze again.

One of the seven labyrinths, which is extremely dangerous for many adventurers, has now become Shi Yu and his companions' backyard.

Both the monsters and the ores are extremely rare magical items.

Shi Yu also experienced the joy of adventure. Whether it was useful or not is another matter, but at least he had the joy of fighting monsters and finding treasure.

[Burning Stone: A combustible ore that, when ignited, becomes fuel and burns. As the fire continues, it gradually diminishes until it is completely burned out. Igniting a large quantity of Burning Stones in a confined space will cause an explosion; depending on the quantity and compression ratio, its power can rival that of high-level fire magic.]

Shi Yu examined the reddish-brown powder in his hand and clicked his tongue, saying:

"This thing is TNT!"

To be precise, it was gunpowder.
