My fiancée Yukino

Even the two horse girls, Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao, obtained the advanced profession of Ranger.

The professions of the two horse girls surprised Luo Bai a bit. He had thought that with their natural strength and speed, they would be suited for professions like assassins, but they turned out to be wandering knights.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense. The horse girl's dynamic vision is also excellent, and combined with her outstanding strength and speed, the profession of ranger is well-deserved.

After obtaining their respective professions, Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao also received certain profession bonuses, with their strength and speed both increasing.

In addition, they have some basic professional skill points that can be used to learn skills, but they did not use them immediately because there were no suitable skills available at the moment.

Meanwhile, Xia Shi and Tina, the two little girls, were given the advanced profession of sniper.

It's a pity that Luo Bai doesn't give them the chance to play with guns anymore, otherwise he would definitely show these people from another world what it means to get a headshot from 800 miles away.

For Yukino, Mai, and Utaha, who have already become Archmages, things are much easier. With Aqua by their side, along with Megumin and other female mages from the guild, learning suitable magic is quite simple.

However, before that, you still need to accumulate more skill points so that you can learn more skills.

After registration, it's time to take on some quests to clear monsters from the wilderness and set off together to experience another world.

There are no powerful monsters in the fields around Axel, but even if there were, nothing would happen with Lobe around.

Besides Luo Bai and the others, He Zhen and the other three also accepted a mission and were preparing to go outside the city with everyone.

But before that, you still need to learn some skills.

Mi Yu, Xiao Li Mao, Xia Shi, and Tina each bought a bow and then learned the sniping skill from the guild's archers.

Yukino, Mai, and Utaha learned basic magic from Aqua, including Water Bomb, Purification, and Exorcism. More advanced skills require leveling up to learn. They don't need offensive magic for now, as they have too many magic swordsmen on their side; their job is simply to provide protection from the rear.

As for Megumin's Explosion Magic, she really wants to teach it to everyone, but unfortunately, the requirements for this skill are a bit high. Yukino and the others have just registered and haven't been able to learn it yet.

After learning magic and organizing their equipment, everyone set off together outside the city.

In the wilderness, you can occasionally see some monsters running together, but they are mostly small creatures like monster rabbits. Larger creatures are not seen near the city.

After reviewing the task he had received, Luo Bai determined the direction and said, "We need to go to the east. There are three demonic wolves. It's not too difficult. Kazuma, what about you guys?"

Kazuma spread his hands and said, "On the west side, all that's left of the commission are those annoying big frogs. We haven't eliminated them all yet, and a new batch has popped up in the last few days."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Then you guys do your best, we'll head over first."

After the two sides separated, Luo Bai led the team slowly towards the mission's destination.

A dozen minutes later, they finally spotted the three demonic wolves that were their target.

With a body length of five meters and a height of nearly three meters, it was indeed a behemoth, but it was still somewhat insignificant compared to Luo Bai's large force.

After calming the girls down, everyone began the battle according to the previous plan.

Nothing unexpected happened during the process. With Luo Bai and Kocho Shinobu in charge, everyone easily dealt with the three demon wolves. Then, Luo Bai used his superpowers to return to Axel with the corpses of the three demon wolves.

Upon returning to the guild, the shock caused by the three dire wolves sparked enthusiastic discussions among the guild's adventurers.

This quest has been up for several days, but unfortunately the guild's elite members are not here. Although these lesser adventurers can accept it, it would be quite difficult for them to return intact.

As a result, Luo Bai and his group only went out for an hour, and they easily defeated the three demonic wolves.

Although Luna, the receptionist, was also surprised, she carefully examined the demon wolf's corpse and then happily said, "A very intact monster body. Thank you for completing this request. I will give you the reward for completing the request now."

Soon, a large bag of rewards was handed to Luo Bai.

"Please accept this. Apart from the basic fee for the commission, the purchase price for the three monster corpses is also included, totaling one million Eris."

This sum of money can be described as a huge amount.

Keep in mind that Kazuma and his crew risked their lives to kill a monster frog, and they only earned 5,000 Eris. This price was mainly due to the high quality of the monster frog's meat, which could be used as food.

Earning one million Eris in a single day would be exhausting for Kazuma and his crew.

After receiving the payment for the commission, Luo Bai looked at Yukino and the others and said, "Everyone has leveled up, right? Let's spend the next half day in the guild and think about what skills we should learn."

Then, Luo Bai ordered a lot of food and drinks, and everyone found a table to sit down and happily rested.

By evening, Kazuma and the others finally returned.

However, compared to Luo Bai and the others' ease, He Zhen and the other three were in a terrible state, covered in frog slime and sticky.

Having completed their quest and received their reward, the four of them had no intention of saying goodbye to Luo Bai and the others. They hurriedly left the guild and went to the town's public bathhouse to take a shower.

Volume 1: Chapter 479 Kazuma Learns a New Skill (1/2)

An hour later, Kazuma and the other three returned to the guild and ordered some food.

Seeing that Luo Bai and the others had returned so early, Kazuma took a bite of his steak and asked, "You're here so early, did you not find those demon wolves?"

Luo Bai shook his head, took a sip of the local specialty beer, and said with a smile, "No, we'll find the demon wolf soon, and after we deal with it, we'll naturally come back to turn in the mission."

"..."

To be honest, Kazuma had never seen Luo Bai's strength before, but now, hearing Luo Bai say this, and seeing how neat and clean they all looked as if they had never left the house, Kazuma suddenly felt the strangeness of the world.

Seeing Kazuma's dejected expression, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Actually, your team's personnel configuration is quite good. You have a front-line knight to absorb damage, a back-line high priest to provide you with various support, and you, as a roaming unit, can use various different attacks. As for Huihui, the archmage, although she only has one chance to attack, as long as you seize the opportunity, you can still win in one strike. Dealing with powerful enemies is actually more suitable for you. Tasks like clearing out large numbers of monsters that you are doing now are not suitable for you."

Kazuma nodded and said, "I know about that, but there's nothing we can do. Our levels are too low right now, and we don't have many useful skills. We can't keep relying on Megumin's Explosion Magic, can we? What if it misses or doesn't defeat the target? Then everything will be over."

That makes sense. After considering it for a moment, Luo Bai took out his adventurer card and looked at the many skills on it, saying, "How many skill points do you have now? I have some skills here that should be able to improve your strength, such as breathing techniques and swordsmanship."

Upon hearing this, Kazuma immediately took out his Adventurer Card and said happily, "I've been working hard to level up recently and have accumulated some points, but I haven't had any suitable skills to learn, so I learned Stealing and Sniping. Let me see, I have 12 skill points left!"

Luo Bai nodded: "Yes, my breathing techniques and swordsmanship are divided into levels. The beginner breathing technique costs five skill points, the intermediate one costs fifteen points, and I haven't learned the advanced one yet, so I don't have it. The beginner swordsmanship also costs five points. So, do you want to learn it?"

"If you want to learn, I'll have to trouble you!"

Soon, Kazuma spent his skill points to learn the basics of breathing techniques and swordsmanship from Luo Bai.

Watching Kazuma sitting motionless, digesting the skills he had just learned, Shinobu Kocho said softly, "I don't have advanced breathing techniques either. It seems I should activate my Demon Slayer Mark?"

Luo Bai responded and said, "You and I have both learned the breathing technique of total concentration, but further progress in creating markings and understanding the transparent world is not so easy."

Of course, these are just some of Luo Bai's guesses at the moment, since he hasn't personally experienced this realm yet.

However, whether it's the Marked World or the Transparent World, breathing techniques are probably only one of the conditions for unlocking them. There are other factors as well, such as mental strength and physical strength.

Of course, these aren't the most important things for Luo Bai right now; the abilities he can use are...

There are many different ways to fight. Instead of studying a breathing technique that doesn't take much time to advance to the next level, it's better to first master all the existing abilities.

Soon, Kazuma, who had just received the new skill, opened his eyes.

Slowly clenching his fists, Kazuma exclaimed in amazement, "What an amazing ability! This breathing technique is truly magical. Whenever I use it, I can feel my speed and reaction time increase significantly. And the swordsmanship is the same; it's not a single style, but rather a collection of techniques focused on practical combat."

Holding a fork and gesturing a few times, Kazuma said eagerly, "I really want to try recruiting people, Darkness. Can we spar?"

After eating a chicken leg, Darkness nodded excitedly: "Great!"

After a quick tidying up, the two went out, and the others immediately followed.

Arriving at the open space behind the guild, Darkness and Kazuma each took a wooden sword and assumed a fighting stance.

Darkness said excitedly, "Come on, Kazuma, I'll defend, you attack."

"Okay, here I come!"

After saying that, Kazuma charged forward with his sword, launching a fierce attack.

The basic swordsmanship that Kazuma learned did not include swordsmanship from various breathing styles; it mainly consisted of various basic offensive moves.

Even though they are all basic, they are more than enough for Kazuma.

Under a full-scale offensive, each move caught Darkness off guard.

Fortunately, although Darkness wasn't particularly strong in combat, he was very experienced in taking hits, and he gradually regained his composure.

After launching wave after wave of attacks for five minutes, Kazuma finally ran out of energy and had to stop.

Darkness put down the wooden sword, her face flushed, and let out a satisfied sigh. Looking at Kazuma, who was panting heavily, she said, "The improvement is really obvious, Kazuma. Next, our team should be able to take on more challenging missions."

Kazuma tossed the wooden sword aside, lay down on the ground, and looked up at the sky, saying, "Although I had a lot of fun fighting just now, my physical fitness is still not up to par, and I'm not very skilled at using the moves."

Luo Bai walked to He Zhen's side, looked at him and said, "Although you have learned this skill, you have only learned it. To truly master it, you need to practice a lot. The same goes for breathing techniques. As long as you persist in learning and improve your breathing techniques, I can teach you some sword techniques that complement them."

After saying that, they pulled Kazuma up from the ground and went back to the guild together.

After sitting down again, Kazuma and the others learned that after Luo Bai and his companions completed the task of exterminating the monster, they directly earned a reward of one million Eris.

Upon hearing the amount of the reward, Aqua's eyes widened.

"Really? The commission only says 500,000 Eris as payment!"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "The reward for simply killing monsters is indeed not much. The extra reward is because we brought back intact monster corpses with little blood loss and minimal damage to their internal organs. That's why the price is so high."

Yukino also said, "The main reason is that the battle was very decisive. When Luo Bai saw that the three demonic wolves were about to counterattack, he and Shinobu dealt with them very quickly."

That's what she said, but Aqua still lay on the table with great envy.

"Wow, this is great! We worked ourselves to the bone today and only earned 20,000 Eris, and then spent some of it on a shower. Kazuma, let's really look for some higher-paying missions next time!"

Kazuma has now acquired a new skill: a bodyguard.

"No problem, the next cabbage is just like that, isn't it? Let's seize this opportunity and make a fortune!"

Volume 1: Chapter 480 A Bountiful Cabbage Harvest (2/2)

Two days later, on January 5th, the cabbages will finally arrive.

Upon receiving the news, Luo Bai immediately went to bring Hoshino Ai and Hiratsuka Shizuka along, and then rushed to Axel in the other world.

When the three arrived in Axel, the locals had already rushed back to their homes and locked their doors and windows due to the alarm bells.

The only ones appearing outside are adventurers from all over the city, heading towards the city gates.

At the guild entrance, Yukino and the other three, along with Kazuma, were waiting.

Upon seeing Luo Bai and the other two arrive, everyone immediately rushed to the city gate.

When they arrived at the city gate, the other adventurers had also mostly arrived. Everyone looked at the wisps of smoke gradually appearing in the distance with solemn expressions.

After taking a look through binoculars, Hiratsuka Shizuka exclaimed in surprise, "I can't see it very clearly, but it really does look like a cabbage. Is this thing very powerful?"

Darkness, standing nearby, said, "They're not particularly strong in terms of combat power, but their sheer numbers and relentless charge can easily cause harm to cities and civilians. That's why every year around this time, adventurers from every city come out immediately to confront these cabbages. Of course, the main reason is that these are delicious vegetables, and this is a bumper harvest!"

Huihui couldn't hold back any longer. She raised her huge staff and exclaimed excitedly, "A bountiful harvest!"

The adventurers shouted and charged towards the cabbages.

Luo Bai also looked at everyone and said, "Although those cabbages aren't very strong in combat, be careful and don't act alone."

Everyone nodded in unison, and then followed Luo Bai as he rushed forward.

Hoshino Ai and Hiratsuka Shizuka also took some time to come here yesterday to register as adventurers and obtain their own profession.

Hoshino Ai is a great mage like Yukino, while Hiratsuka Shizuka has acquired a profession that suits her style very well: a fighter.

Many students at Soubu High School have personally experienced the power of Shizuka Hiratsuka's fists, and given that she had already learned some fighting techniques, it was only natural that she would choose this profession.

Wearing a pair of boxing gloves she had bought here, Hiratsuka Shizuka excitedly rushed forward and punched a cabbage charging towards her, knocking the once-aggressive cabbage unconscious and sending it crashing to the ground.

"Oh! This is the whole picture?"

After picking up the cabbage and examining it for a moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka put it into a bamboo basket beside her. These were all going to be used to calculate her payment later, so she couldn't just throw them away.

The cabbage army was huge. Even though there were quite a few adventurers on Axel's side, it still took them nearly two hours, leaving everyone exhausted, to capture all the cabbages and put them into bamboo baskets.

"A bumper harvest! A huge harvest!"

Shouting about the bountiful harvest, everyone happily transported the cabbages back to the city.

Aside from a few adventurers keeping some for themselves, the vast majority of the cabbages were bought up by the officials of Axel and the vegetable merchants in the city, and the adventurers received generous rewards.

The guild also used a lot of the cabbages they had acquired to make a big meal to reward the adventurers who had worked hard that day.

Using her fork, Hiratsuka Shizuka picked up a large piece of stir-fried cabbage and put it in her mouth. She exclaimed with delight, "This cabbage tastes amazing! It's the best cabbage I've ever eaten!"

After tasting it, Luo Bai agreed, saying, "It truly lives up to its reputation as a cabbage that has gained life and can move on its own. The crispness and sweetness are both excellent. And just now..."

I asked around, and these cabbages can be stored for a long time if refrigerated. We kept some to eat at home.

Yukino took a sip of vegetable soup and nodded, saying, "Yes, remember to save some to take back to your uncle and aunt during the New Year."

"Don't worry, I remember. We're short on money, so I left more than half, enough for us to eat until we're sick of it." Luo Bai took out a cabbage from his bracelet and observed it, saying, "It's just a pity that this thing is too active after it matures, otherwise I would have liked to try to bring it back and grow it."

These cabbages are delicious, but they are difficult to grow, which is a huge problem. Otherwise, there wouldn't be an annual cabbage harvest battle like this.
