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

"I'm a Steel-rank adventurer now, so Mithril-rank adventurers should be a piece of cake, right? Or are your rules just for show?"

The waitress, with a long face, recorded the request under Shi Yu's name.

"Since you are willing, then so be it."

The waitress then looked pleadingly at a small group of adventurers standing nearby.

The man who appeared to be the team leader sighed, stood up, and said:

"Um, Miss, could our Black Sword Squad take on this mission together?"

The waitress was overjoyed; it seemed they had understood her signal.

This squad is entirely composed of mithril personnel; with them around, they should be able to complete this mission smoothly.

Sending Shi Yu, a bronze-level player who's just grinding levels, to take on a mithril-level mission seems completely unreliable.

The waitress quickly turned to Shi Yu and asked:

"What do you think...?"

Shi Yu glanced at the adventure team with amusement and nodded:

"We have no problem."

The waitress finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I will register you now."

Shi Yu suddenly reached out to stop the waitress.

She trembled, thinking that Shi Yu had changed his mind again.

However, Shi Yu pointed seriously at the commission order on the table.

"One last question."

"You say."

"What is this task? I can't read."

Everyone: "???"

Chapter 86 Am I really that indiscriminate in my choices?

"It's haunted."

After listening to the introduction of the Dark Sword Squad, Shi Yu shook his head. "These otherworldly things are so pretentious. They die and don't reincarnate, they just wander around as ghosts."

Mercenary squad: "???"

The original mission, which was supposed to be a mithril-level mission, was to clear monsters from an abandoned tomb. It seemed to be occupied by the undead, and monsters would often attack passersby.

However, due to Shi Yu's interference, the mission was eventually downgraded to a silver-level mission: to investigate the true information of the Great Tomb, which did not require combat.

Shi Yu did not raise any objections this time.

Because he knew that the other party was also acting out of good intentions, worried about the safety of him, a fake steel-level user who was actually a money-powerful individual.

The reason he took on this task was simply because he had a sudden urge to disgust those idiots who were laughing at him.

Seeing their envious and jealous expressions, as if they had swallowed flies, Shi Yu's mood improved considerably.

He yawned, looking a little bored.

He was tired of missions involving dealing with the undead in the Subarashiki world.

After all, their own mentally challenged goddess Aqua has a constitution that attracts demons.

Logically, this kind of task should be best suited for Aqua.

However, since he had already promised Yue a few days for a honeymoon, Shi Yu naturally wouldn't be so unromantic as to make things awkward, since establishing a divine kingdom wasn't something that could be done in a short time.

……

The captain of the Black Sword was an ordinary-looking blond-haired, blue-eyed man with no other distinguishing features, though his facial features were fairly regular.

It's the kind of character who would look like a background character in an anime.

Their strength was only at the third level of the adventurer team, Silver rank, which was far from the Mithril rank that Shi Yu believed.

At first, Yu saw how excited the waitress was and thought they were the Mithril Squad. Later, after the waitress changed her mission from annihilation to intelligence gathering, he realized that they were just low-level Silver-rank henchmen.

If we categorize strength by level, it should be around level 10.

Even in Axel, they wouldn't qualify to leave the starting village.

Adventurers are ranked into four levels: Bronze, Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Mithril, Orichalcum, and Fine Steel.

Clearly, the staff felt that entrusting the task to this Silver Squad was much more reliable than entrusting it to Shi Yu, who had paid for the Steel-grade equipment.

“Um, sir, I am Peter Mok, the captain of the Black Sword. You can call me Peter. This is Lucrete Polbu, the 'guerrilla soldier' ​​in charge of reconnaissance. And this is the 'forest priest' who uses healing and nature magic.”

"Please take good care of me."

"And the last one is our magical genius, Nia."

Peter respectfully introduced his team members to Shi Yu.

In his view, Shi Yu, a powerful figure with immense wealth, could easily provide enough for them to eat their fill with just a little soup.

In this chaotic place, even a single-digit amount of gold coins could lead to your death.

Not to mention that Shi Yu spent thousands of gold coins to successfully upgrade himself to the Steel grade.

The money others make by leveling up is more than I could earn in a lifetime.

Shi Yu nodded, pointed to himself, and smiled, "Shi Yu."

Then he pulled the koala Yue off his back and said:

"My wife, Yue."

Yue first pouted, annoyed that Shi Yu was disturbing her lunch break.

Upon hearing Shi Yu's introduction, he was overjoyed and nodded to the group in greeting.

The people opposite him glanced at Shi Yu with envy.

No wonder they're rich; they just love to spend money.

The girls he dates are all so young and beautiful.

However, they were also very self-aware, and after a brief greeting, they stopped paying attention to Yue.

Shi Yu nodded; it was still more comfortable dealing with smart people.

According to Captain Peter, Nia is a genius with supernatural abilities, including magical adaptation, which allows her to shorten the time it takes to learn magic.

Captain Peter then emphasized the advantages of his team's magicians, attempting to gain Shi Yu's favor.

But in reality, Nia only possesses the talent; she hasn't become a magic caster yet. To put it bluntly, she lacks the talent and can't learn it...

Superpowers are a concept that doesn't even exist in the game world where Ainz Ooal Gown lives; they're considered innate skills of this native world.

It requires both physical ability and talent to reach the level of a magic chanter in order to be effective.

Otherwise, so-called talent is completely useless.

Just like Nia's special ability is magical adaptability, which can shorten the time required to learn magic,

However, since you don't even qualify to learn magic, there's no issue of time.

Peter took such good care of Nya because he wanted to have a real magic caster in his team after Nya learned magic.

Shi Yu glanced at the moon on his back.

Suddenly I felt really sorry for those guys on the other side.

The high school students in "Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest" all seem to have the ability to adapt to magic.

Of course, this excludes the protagonist, Nagumo Hajime, who was sent away by Shiyu.

However, Shi Yu was still quite envious of these superhumans, since even adventurer cards couldn't replicate their talents and skills.

These abilities seem somewhat similar to the divine blessing that grants Shi Yu seemingly limitless energy.

However, it's the lower-spec version.

At this moment, Shi Yu took out a purple potion from his pocket and tossed it to Nia.

“Try drinking it.”

Nia was taken aback by what she heard, staring blankly at Shi Yu, somewhat at a loss.

Peter, standing to the side, looked at the crystal-clear purple potion and then at Shi Yu with some difficulty:

"Sir, what are you..."

Shi Yu's lips curled up, but he didn't explain the effects of the medicine.

"Drink it or not is up to you; it might even be poisonous."

Peter glanced awkwardly at Shi Yu, then looked at Nia with a questioning gaze.

Nia looked at the seemingly expensive medicine in her hand, gritted her teeth, opened the bottle, and poured it into her mouth.

A bittersweet taste, mixed with floral notes, spread in my mouth.

As he swallowed the medicine, his eyes widened to their maximum size.

"This is……!?"

Peter and the others looked at Nya with some concern: "Nya! Are you alright?"

Nia excitedly stretched out her hand, and a vague magic circle slowly emerged from her palm.

"Magic Arrow!"

With a low shout, a blue arrow instantly struck a small tree by the roadside.

Peter and the others stared wide-eyed at Nyasa with disbelief.

"You've become a magic caster!?"

Nia nodded with delight, then hurriedly ran to Shi Yu and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.

"Thank you, sir!"

Shi Yu waved his hand: "I'm just conducting an experiment."

Nia thanked them repeatedly, then ran to the side to test her magic.

Suddenly, Yue bit down on Shi Yu's neck and sucked on it.

Shi Yu turned his head in surprise and saw her pouting jealously.

"What are you doing?"

Yue snorted coldly: "You've taken a fancy to that girl again?"

Shi Yu rolled his eyes.

Am I really that indiscriminate in my choices?

It was obvious that Yue had already discovered that the 'boy' named Nia was actually a girl.

The moon's eyes darted around, and she nodded seriously, saying:

"Have!"

P.S. In the previous chapter, I made a mistake; it should have been Silver-level, not Mithril-level. I got them mixed up.

Chapter 87 You call this "Refined Steel Grade"? That's bullshit!

Shi Yu rolled his eyes and flicked Yue's little head.

I never expected her to get jealous.

This made Shi Yu's feelings about this world feel more real.

Previously, I had only encountered comedic anime and harem anime with easy plot twists.

Yue's sudden mood swings gave Shi Yu a feeling of being in love, and this novel feeling was quite nice.
