Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

Speaking of which, Jiang Li still had no idea about Ai Si's past.

When she was young, Ai Si admired the heroes in stories and hoped to have a hero who could protect her.

This is a very common wish in this world where heroes appear frequently.

When she was six years old, she accidentally entered a dungeon and encountered a monster.

When she was almost killed by the monster, it was her father who saved her, just like the hero in the story.

Therefore, she particularly admired her father.

"I'm sorry, I'm not your hero. I love your mother."

However, the man said this to her with an apology.

Soon after.

Her parents left Orario one after another, and Ais joined Loki's family, where she grew up being loved by Loki, Livilia and others.

"I long to become powerful. As long as I keep getting stronger, sooner or later I will..."

Ais whispered.

She didn't say what she could do sooner or later, but just murmured silently.

That was probably her deepest secret, which she didn't want anyone to know.

She longed to be strong, that was the only fact.

But yesterday, she saw Jiang Li's ability value.

Jiang Li is unreasonably powerful.

Apart from his incredibly superb swordsmanship and extraordinary speed - because he had demonstrated it so many times, his clan members basically knew about it, but Jiang Li did not explain it proactively, so they did not ask - his qualities themselves were extremely powerful.

Ai Si yearns to be powerful, and she is indeed one of the rare adventurers in Orario, but compared with Jiang Li, her power is not worth mentioning.

Now she can still suppress him in terms of level, but when he reaches Lv.5... no, as long as he reaches Lv.4, I'm afraid she will not be his opponent.

She was very unwilling to admit defeat, but she was also dejected to find that there was nothing she could do.

When she was fighting with Jiang Li just now, she had used almost nothing except magic, but Jiang Li still managed to hold on for half a minute, which made her extremely anxious and even made her jealous.

In summary, Aisi's mentality collapsed.

"How can I become as strong as you?"

Ai Si looked at Jiang Li with burning eyes.

"Can you tell me? I want to know everything about you!"

She lowered her upper body and closed the distance between herself and Jiang Li, until they were close enough to hear each other's breathing.

His golden eyes were filled with desire.

Her level of hard work is no less than Jiang Li's, but she knows very well that she can never reach the unprecedented heights like Jiang Li by hard work alone.

"Become as strong as me?"

Jiang Li fell into deep thought.

There is a way, just cheat!

He had a time-travel cheat, gained unimaginable talent, and possessed extraordinary causal interference abilities. With this foundation, he was able to become as powerful as he is today.

However, the reasons for his strength are far more than just this.

"Hardship."

Jiang Li pondered for a moment, and finally gave the answer leisurely.

"Hardship?"

"Yes, when you go through enough hardships, you will naturally become stronger."

Jiang Li couldn't improve Ai Si's talent, nor could he give her the ability to cut swords. In this case, there was only one thing he could teach her.

That is going through hardships.

"I've endured unimaginable hardships to get to where I am today... Anyway, go fight, and defeat an opponent far stronger than you. That way, you will surely surpass your limits!"

Chapter 169 Comparing Charm with Freya

"Defeat an opponent stronger than yourself..."

Ai Si stared at Jiang Li, her eyes flickering.

So, is this how he came here?

Is it because one has gone through suffering that ordinary people cannot endure that one can defeat opponents who are far stronger than oneself?

But she is Lv.5, and it is the ultimate Lv.5. It is almost impossible for her to find an opponent who is much stronger than herself, or even to defeat him.

"I understand."

Even so, Ais still kept these words in mind.

"..."

Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion when he saw Ai Si like this.

Like him, Ai Si is pursuing strength.

However, there is a fatal difference between the two.

Jiang Li simply enjoyed the feeling of becoming stronger, and he was happy with every bit of strength he gained. But Ai Si was different. Her condition was more like being chased by a whip.

You have to become stronger.

This is probably what Ais was thinking.

It is more of an obsession than a longing. There is a driving force in her heart that drives her to become stronger.

This is not a bad thing in itself, but if the motivation is too strong, it may become a burden sometimes.

If Ais fails to make progress for a long time, it is easy for all kinds of negative emotions to breed in her heart, and then big problems will arise.

If your heart is too hard, you will easily break yourself.

If a soldier has a problem in his heart, he may never recover from it for the rest of his life.

"We have to keep an eye on it."

This thought emerged in Jiang Li's mind.

but.

How much does this have to do with him being a passer-by?

At least before he was sure that he could freely travel back and forth between this world, there was a thick and impenetrable barrier between Jiang Li and the people of this world.

"Everyone, listen to us!"

In the morning, Loki banged his bowl and attracted everyone's attention.

"Jiang Li reached Level 3 last night! Congratulations!"

Loki did not become obedient to Jiang Li just because of one or two times of charm. After all, she was also an evil god and was used to Freya's methods, so she had a certain resistance to them. Moreover, Jiang Li did not use his full strength to charm her.

But today she didn't even look at Jiang Li once.

Even if she accidentally met his eyes, she would quickly look away.

"Lv.3?!"

"real or fake?"

"Amazing!"

"It's only been less than forty days, right?"

The entire cafeteria was detonated, and waves of uproar hit Jiang Li's eardrums.

39 days, to be exact.

"That's amazing, Jiang Li! It won't take you long to reach Level 5!"

Tiona shook Jiang Li's arm vigorously, her eyes sparkling.

Livilia and others also looked at him with surprise and admiration.

Ai Si was silent for a moment and said congratulations, but she felt more and more urgent.

"Has it reached Level 3?"

Lefiya was stunned and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

For a time, there was constant laughter and laughter.

Many people were also stimulated by his upgrade speed, and their determination was ignited, secretly deciding to work hard for a while.

…………

Breakfast was over and Finn began to assign tasks.

The large amount of supplies brought back from the expedition, including magic stones, dropped items, etc., need to be exchanged for Fari, and the Cadmus Spring Water entrusted by the Dean Kassite family also needs to be delivered to raise the price of all spoils as much as possible.

More importantly, because this time they encountered a caterpillar monster with weapon-destroying properties, except for Ais's indestructible sword and Livilia's magic wand, the first-level equipment of Loki's family was almost completely destroyed.

They have to forge new equipment, which will be an extremely huge expense, at least tens of billions.

Fortunately, a lot of money was received from the Istar clan some time ago, which is enough to alleviate the current urgent needs.

Everyone was busy on the first day after returning from the expedition.

"Where's that jerk?!"

Right after dinner, Bert started shouting all over the stronghold, exuding murderous aura.

The expedition was over, and he wanted to settle the score with Jiang Li for being slandered as impotent!

But he searched the entire clan and couldn't find Jiang Li. He asked everyone, but everyone told him they didn't know.

Of course Bert couldn't find it.

After breakfast, Jiang Li left the clan immediately without even waiting for Finn to give him a task.

Where has he gone?

Tower of Babel.

Now that you've returned from the expedition alive, shouldn't you reward yourself?

"hehe."

The top floor of the Tower of Babel.

The goddess, who had been waiting for this since the end of Loki's expedition, couldn't help but laugh happily when she saw the familiar soul light approaching.

Then, she came to the first floor hall of the Tower of Babel and happened to meet Jiang Li there.

"It seems that you should have thought it through, right?"

Freya was wrapped in a cloak, with her face not showing, but her fair skin exposed from under the cloak still attracted the attention of countless people, who stared at her absent-mindedly, leaving the hall silent.

There was a hint of pleasure in her voice, a hint of revenge.

In her opinion, Jiang Li came to her on his own initiative, probably intending to agree to the conditions she proposed and work as a cross-dresser in the Fengyu Hostess Tavern.

"Humph."

However, she only heard a light hum from under Jiang Li's cloak.

Freya couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Freya, you asked me to work part-time to hone my character, or rather, my words and deeds, right?"

Jiang Li did not show his face either.

But just like Freya, even if he only accidentally revealed a little bit of his true face, it still caused countless passers-by to stop and look at him blankly, regardless of whether they were men or women.

These two people were like two black holes, sucking in everything around them, including the light, leaving no room for resistance.
