Zongman: My Smart Group

Kato Megumi said, "How about this, Miss Luna, you report this to your superiors first and see how they handle it. Meanwhile, we'll take on this case and save up some money as a backup plan. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, everyone thought it was a great idea and happily agreed!

Luna said gratefully, "Thank you so much! If there's any compensation needed, I'll sell everything I own to pay half of it!"

After this pleasant decision, everyone hurriedly accepted a simple mission and set off. Sato's parents, seeing that their son was alright, were the first to return to their original world.

The next mission was also extremely dangerous: to defeat the giant prairie frog that could kill the goddess single-handedly!

On the vast grassland, Kazuma Sato, as someone who had been there before, began to introduce the area: "Beneath this grassland, many giant frogs are sleeping. Our mission is simple: defeat three frogs and you can go back. Just be careful not to get eaten by them like some useless goddess did."

Aqua remained unmoved, since the topic wasn't about her.

Kazuma Sato looked into the distance and spotted a lone frog. He then smiled and said, "We're lucky to have found a lone frog. As beginners, you can use it to practice and familiarize yourselves with your skills."

Without the slightest hesitation, Rikka Takanashi stepped forward and said with one hand and no eyes, "Hahaha... It's just an ordinary frog. It's a piece of cake for me. I won't trouble you to help in this situation!"

Everyone was very considerate and stepped back, leaving the battlefield to Takanashi Rikka, but they didn't let their guard down, so they could rush over to provide support if anything unexpected happened.

Rikka Takanashi walked slowly to a spot not far from the frog, then took out her umbrella and began to sing.

"Break out, reality!"

"Break, nerves!"

"Exile this world!"

A gust of wind blew by, and nothing happened. Oh wait, the frog spotted Rikka Toriyama and rushed over.

Kazuma Sato suddenly realized that Rikka Takanashi didn't seem to have bought a magic wand? Not only her, but it seemed that none of the people present had purchased weapons related to their jobs, or even learned the initial skills, before coming to do the subjugation quest.

In other words, the only one with real fighting power present was himself!

Upon realizing this, Kazuma Sato's pupils constricted sharply, and he hurriedly shouted, "Run! You can't cast spells without a magic wand!"

It's not that she can't use magic, it's just that her level is low and she needs a magic wand as an auxiliary tool. If she were a high-level magician, she could use magic at will, but clearly, Rikka Takanashi isn't even a magician apprentice.

Rikka Takanashi completely ignored Kazuma Sato's words, instead confidently laughing and saying, "Don't worry about that! Magic isn't something so inconvenient. Take this Dimensional Slash! Ah—"

Rikka Takanashi launched an attack, hit the frog, and was swallowed whole by the frog.

Seeing this familiar scene, Kazuma Sato covered his face and said, "I knew this would happen."

Chapter 155 The God of War Jumps, The God of War Sleeps

Before anyone could react, the knight Sanae Dekomori immediately charged forward, spinning her hair as she shouted, "Master, I'm here to help you!"

Just then, a frog suddenly appeared out of nowhere and swallowed Sanae Tekomori whole.

Sato Kazuma didn't have time to think. He grabbed his sword and charged forward, shouting, "Hold on! I'm coming to save you!"

Lin Mo hadn't expected them to be so easily defeated. He was ashamed of their actions, but since they were his chosen subordinates, he still had to go and rescue them. So he activated overclocking mode and rushed over.

"Let's each save one!"

For some unknown reason, the frogs underground suddenly began to revive, emerging one after another. The remaining people stayed where they were, trembling in fear, not daring to move an inch.

Lin Mo looked at the frogs with disdain and shouted, "You audacious monsters! I can tell you're not human at first glance! Take this Leo Flying Kick!"

Lin Mo suddenly leaped up and kicked the frog, hitting it directly in the mouth, performing a "God of War sleeping" move.

Frog: Thank you for nature's gifts.

Those who saw this from behind nearly popped their eyes out. The two in front were alright, at least their legs were still sticking out, but Lin Mo was completely inside!

Aqua stepped forward and said with a smile, "It seems that in times of crisis, we still have to rely on this goddess! Don't be afraid, everyone, I'll save you from this predicament! I'll settle our scores from last time too! You wretched frog, take this Kamikaze! The so-called Kamikaze is the strongest attack that contains the goddess's anger and power; anyone hit by it will surely die!"

Aqua rushed out, and Aqua was swallowed up.

Kazuma Sato, who had just rescued Rikka Takanashi and Sanae Dekomori, hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when he turned around and saw Aqua trapped again. She charged over with her sword drawn and roared, "You useless goddess, can't you give me a break?!"

Satania never expected that the frogs here would be so powerful, easily defeating the three of them. Now it's up to her to save the day!

Satania summoned her harpoon, revealing her true form, and rushed over, shouting, "Lin Mo, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

The harpoon gleamed with a purple light, as if to tell everyone that this was no ordinary harpoon. Magic flowed in the air, and Satania shouted, "Satania's Thrust!"

The harpoon pierced the frog, but it was to no avail. The frog's resilient skin caved in slightly, and the harpoon bounced off.

Satania broke out in a cold sweat instantly, then looked up and smiled, saying, "If you eat Lin Mo, you can't eat me, okay?"

Tonight, it seemed to understand her meaning and remained frozen in place without moving. But that didn't mean the other frogs would let her go. Another frog stuck out its long tongue and sucked Satania away in one swift motion.

Satania: "Help!!!"

Kazuma Sato had just rescued Aqua when he saw Satania screaming in agony. He couldn't help but yell in despair, "What the hell are you guys doing? If you can't win, can't you just run away? Don't just send them all to their deaths one by one!"

Hachiman Hikigaya thought Kazuma Sato made a lot of sense, nodded in agreement, and had already run about ten meters.

The next second he froze on the spot, and a giant frog just happened to jump in front of him. Hachiman Hikigaya broke out in a cold sweat and frantically thought of a way to escape. Finally, he showed a relieved smile: "Sato, thank you for your help."

Kazuma Sato gripped his longsword tightly. He hadn't managed to rescue one person before another was eaten. He couldn't possibly rescue them all!

Sure enough, the frogs here are too overpowered. Not only can they solo kill the goddess, but they can also solo kill so many of our own people. Is it going to end in a total wipeout on our first time coming out to fight together?

At this critical moment, Lin Mo, who had been struggling in vain inside the frog's belly, finally couldn't stand the disgusting environment any longer and shouted, "Just die already!"

Without needing to unleash their full power, the anti-magic field acted on its own. In just an instant, all the frogs in sight across the entire grassland were wiped out, and everyone was freed and fell onto the grass.

Hachiman Hikigaya said with a look of relief, "Komachi, I survived."

The anti-magic field was also very effective, not only erasing all the frogs, but also completely eliminating the slime secreted by everyone.

Lin Mo plopped down on the grass, panting heavily, and said, "What kind of frog is this? It's so hard to kill!"

Sato Kazuma looked around in shock. The sudden disappearance of so many frogs was quite shocking. After confirming that there was no danger, Sato Kazuma ran over and said, "Hurry back while there are no monsters around and get all the preparations a beginner should make. You guys can't fight like this! I don't want to save them one by one again!"

Rikka Takanashi and Sanae Dekomori, who had escaped their predicament, rushed over to Lin Mo's side and hugged him tightly, crying out, "Waaah—Lin Mo, you're so scary, so disgusting, so smelly!"

Lin Mo reached out to push them away, but found that they were holding on very tightly and he couldn't push them away at all. So he sighed and said, "Look at you guys, you can't even get solo killed by a frog. Why don't you hurry up and go back and train for another two years? What's the use of crying here? Be careful that a frog suddenly jumps out and kills all three of us!"

Yukino Yukinoshita also came to Lin Mo's side. After confirming that the three of them were alright, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That was really too dangerous. Let's go back now that it's safe!"

The others naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and the first expedition ended hastily, with Lin Mo and the others returning in a sorry state.

At the Adventurers' Guild, Lin Mo slammed his hands on the table and said, "This is outrageous! These things are not even beasts, yet they dare to be so presumptuous! You all hurry up and cultivate, this time I will personally lead the expedition!"

Kazuma Sato's lips twitched as he said, "Let's not do that. How about we change the task? I think the job of plastering cement on the wall is pretty good."

Lin Mo said with exasperation, "What are you saying? You'll have plenty of time to scrape cement after you graduate. It's not a big deal if you don't spend more time. The most important thing right now is to improve your strength and get revenge! You guys hurry up and learn your skills. I'll wait for you outside!"

Looking at everyone who had recovered, Sato Kazuma was devastated. He had thought that with so many helpers and his good older brother Lin Mo, who could travel to another world to find him, his life would be better. But in the end, nothing had changed. Oh no, there was a change; he needed to save even more people!

Kazuma Sato scratched his head and exclaimed, "When will this ever end?!"

After learning the initial skills, everyone purchased items and weapons under the guidance of Kazuma Sato. After regrouping, they set off again, determined to repay the humiliation of that day a hundredfold!

Chapter 156 The Legacy of the Old Man in the Mountains

At the familiar spot, Lin Mo stood on a small hill, looking out at the boundless grassland, and solemnly said, "Is everyone ready?"

Rikka Takanashi gripped her magic wand tightly with both hands and nodded, saying, "Yes! I'm ready!"

Sanae Dekomori, holding the three-pronged axe in both hands, nodded and said, "The Thunder Axe is fully charged! Death~"

Lin Mo turned his head and asked in confusion, "Weren't you playing with a hammer? How did it turn into a thunder axe?"

Sanae Dekomori explained earnestly, "The Thunder Hammer has two forms; it's in axe form now! Death~"

After completing the setup, Lin Mo continued, "Hachiman, I hereby appoint you as a scout. Go ahead and scout the way. If you discover anything unusual, come back and tell me immediately!"

Hachiman Hikigaya pointed at himself with a surprised look: "Me? No, no, no, I'd better not. A weakling like me should just stay in the back."

To be honest, Hachiman Hikigaya has developed some trauma from those giant frogs; after all, no one would feel good being eaten in one bite.

Lin Mo frowned, about to say something, when he was interrupted.

Kato Megumi volunteered, saying, "Let me do it. After all, my stealth level is higher, and I also have the talent of concealing my presence."

Lin Mo said with satisfaction, "As expected of Hassan, he's much better than Hachiman. Don't worry, he'll be richly rewarded afterward!"

Kato Megumi said with some distress, "No need for a reward. If possible, could you exchange my greatsword for a dagger? A short sword would also be fine, since the greatsword really doesn't suit my class."

That's right. When choosing a weapon for Kato Megumi, Lin Mo went against everyone's advice and bought her a greatsword. It was almost taller than Kato Megumi herself when it was held upright. Fortunately, it had a weight-reducing spell on it, so the newly awakened Kato Megumi really couldn't lift it.

Lin Mo said with utmost seriousness, "Hassan, stop thinking about your dagger. That thing is completely useless. Take my advice: a true assassin should use a greatsword. With your talent, even if you get close to someone and cut off their head, no one will notice you."

After fruitless discussions, Kato Megumi sighed, resigned herself to her fate, picked up her greatsword, and set off. It must be said, the petite girl and the seemingly heavy greatsword created a unique and charming combination.

In order to successfully take revenge, Lin Mo spent almost all of his savings to buy the best equipment they could wear at this stage, as well as a lot of auxiliary potions and items that could directly increase their skill points. That's how they learned their initial skills.

It can be said that Lin Mo will not return until the frog is broken!

Kato Megumi has three skills: stealth, enemy perception, and the innate skill of aura concealment. He is also the only person with an innate skill, which makes everyone marvel at how terrifying he is. He can be said to be born to be an assassin!

Kato Megumi walked cautiously ahead, with both stealth and enemy detection activated. This ensured her safety and allowed her to detect any hidden monsters in the vicinity. Although I personally felt that stealth was somewhat unnecessary, considering that during the previous frog attack, Kato Megumi stood right in front of the frog and wasn't attacked.

A dozen minutes later, Kato Megumi returned.

Lin Mo: "What's going on up ahead?"

Megumi Kato: "There are only three frogs in front of us, two of which are still sleeping underground."

Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's time to show them the wickedness of society. When dealing with these monsters, there's no need to talk about chivalry; let's just go together!"

And so, the group marched off in a grand procession.

Sure enough, there was only one frog hopping around in front of them, seemingly looking for food. When it saw the group of people, it didn't run away but instead charged towards them.

Lin Mo sneered, "Very good. The enemy has not only not fled, but has launched an attack on us. All soldiers, follow me!"

"Duck rush!"

Everyone used every trick in the book to deal with this frog, unleashing all sorts of skills as if they were free. Even after the frog had died, they continued to ravage its corpse. Once their mana was depleted, they drank a blue potion and immediately recovered.

Everyone was quite satisfied with the sight of the frog's corpse.

Rikka Takanashi: "Hahaha... It's just a little frog, easy peasy!"

Satania: "All of you, submit to the tyranny of this demon! Wahahaha..."

Yukino and the others didn't cheer; instead, they became more alert. According to Megumi Kato's information, there were two frogs sleeping underground, and they didn't know if the commotion they had just made would wake them up.

Sure enough, the next second two frogs broke out of the ground, but they were immediately surrounded and beaten by the group. In this way, Lin Mo and his group spent the whole afternoon specifically targeting lone frogs to beat up, reaping a rich harvest!

"Adventure Plus Guild," Lin Mo said with a smile, "As expected of our three-headed, six-armed team! A mere quest to hunt down the giant frog was easily accomplished!"

Kazuma Sato also relaxed for once: "Thankfully, nothing went wrong."

After an afternoon of hard work, everyone's level increased by two levels, which is pretty much what we're talking about.

System: "Host, there's a task here you want to do?"

Lin Mo said without even looking at it, "I'll accept it!"

"bite--

Sign-in task: Become a moderately famous adventurer, known by at least 100 people.

Task Reward: One sign-in.

"bite--

Task completed. One check-in reward received.

Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "As expected of me, I completed the task as soon as I accepted it, and then checked in!"

The system was also quite puzzled. How could the task be completed so soon after it was issued? After checking the backend, it turned out that it was something that happened yesterday, and the whole town knew about it. It was all by accident.

"bite--

Congratulations, host, you have obtained: The Old Man of the Mountain's Legacy (Purple)

Lin Mo took a closer look and immediately chuckled. Wasn't this specially prepared for Kato Megumi? So he asked, "System, can I give this to someone else?"

System: "Of course you can! Host, you have full control over the items you sign in with!"

After receiving confirmation, Lin Mo looked at Kato Megumi and said, "Hassan, come here, I have something good for you."

Kato Megumi paused, then asked, "What is that?"
