Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

"What a strange method?"

"nothing."

Livilia looked at him with a strange look at that time, but after hesitating for a while, she still didn't say it clearly.

"There's the sound of water ahead, we should be there soon."

Alicia twitched her pointed ears, displaying her Level 4 hearing ability.

The end of the slope gradually appeared at the end of the field of vision, accompanied by a faint blue light and the sound of rushing water.

The three of them were wearing water crystal protective clothes that shone with blue phosphorescence. They walked straight through the cave and appeared at the starting point of the 25th floor.

The next moment, the majestic "Water Mystery City" appeared before the three of them.

The cascading waterfall creates a resounding melody.

The crystal sky forms countless valleys and cliffs.

Water droplets that turned into mist floated in the air, and not far away, you could see half-human birds and songbirds soaring. Their sharp cries echoed in the air, and their sharp feathers cut through the sky.

The most dazzling one is undoubtedly the large waterfall in the center.

The roar of the waterfall was like a rumbling thundercloud, striking the eardrums of the three people across a distance of hundreds of meters. What they heard on the slope was the sound of the waterfall rushing down.

The Blue Waterfall originates from the 25th floor and runs through the 25th, 26th and 27th floors like a staircase. It is nearly a thousand meters high and looks like a blue curtain from a distance.

"The Blue Waterfall is breathtaking no matter how many times I see it."

Jiang Li and the other two were standing on a cliff at the moment, only a few hundred meters away from the blue waterfall opposite. They looked as inconspicuous as summer insects.

I had actually seen the scenery here twice during the expedition, but the waterfall, which is 400 meters wide in total, was so shocking that it took me a long time to calm down.

"I've been here many times. Let me lead the way."

Alicia took the initiative to step forward and take on the task of leading the way.

"Be careful, there are many winding passages and rivers here, and you need to have a strong sense of space, otherwise you might get lost if you are not careful, so it's best to follow my steps closely."

Looking up, there are countless plank roads around the blue waterfall, which are only about two or three meters wide. On one side is a rock wall, and on the other side is a bottomless cliff.

These plank roads are winding and sometimes go up and sometimes go down, which looks very confusing, like a maze. In addition, there is a deep cave below. If you fall into it, you will definitely die.

"Qiang!"

As they were speaking, a huge metal crab, as tall as a man, came towards them from the front.

Its left arm is unremarkable, but the claws on its right arm are extremely thick, just like a giant hammer. What's more strange is that this crab actually walks vertically!

Jiang Li raised his knife and slashed, avoiding the crab's right arm, and with incredible speed, the knife penetrated into its body through the gap.

Level 3 monsters, kill instantly!

"So fast!"

Alicia looked at Jiang Li in surprise, her eyes full of astonishment.

"Your speed is almost equivalent to the top of Lv. 3. How much potential did you accumulate in the first two levels?"

Because Jiang Li would break through the upper limit every time he upgraded, the ability value of this upper limit became his potential parameter after the upgrade, making his physical fitness much stronger than the average Lv.3.

"Just average."

Jiang Li is very humble.

In the entire clan, only Ais probably knew that he had broken through the limit. Finn might have also been informed by Loki, but few other people knew about it.

It's not that he doesn't trust the members of the group, but this matter is of great importance. Once it spreads widely, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. The adventurers will definitely clamor for him to hand over the secret of breaking the limit.

Therefore, Loki specifically warned him not to spread the information about his ability value easily.

"Lefiya, be careful!"

Walking beside the stream, Alicia suddenly exclaimed.

"Eh?"

Lefiya was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking. She was stunned when she heard this.

"Wow——!"

Then, a black shadow over 160 cm long emerged from the water. Its sharp fangs flashed coldly under the reflection of the water droplets and bit towards Lefiya, who was the last one left.

"Hey!"

Alicia rushed forward and chopped the black fish in half with a dagger.

"Are you okay, Lefiya?"

Alicia walked forward and said to Lefiya with concern.

"Ah, well, I'm fine..."

Lefiya was also startled and managed to calm herself down.

"What's wrong with you? It was the same thing when you encountered the killer bees on the 24th floor. You almost got stung by the monster. Why are you so absent-minded today?"

Alicia looked a little worried.

Alicia is 25 years old this year. She is very young for an elf, but she is already an older sister to ordinary people. She is also very tolerant and takes good care of the younger generations.

"No, it's nothing. I will work hard next time!"

Lefiya couldn't help but glance at Jiang Li in the front and waved to Alicia.

"?"

Jiang Li typed a question mark in confusion.

He looked at himself and complained to himself.

No, why are you looking at me?

I didn't use charm, the state is the same as when I went to the middle level before, could it be that I bewitched him?

And don’t you admire Ais?

Just as he was thinking this, Lefiya glanced at him secretly again and he caught her red-handed.

She hurriedly looked away, but the tips of her ears had unconsciously turned a shade of red, and she didn't dare look at him for a long time.

Ok.

That's OK.

Jiang Li had seen this kind of reaction many times. It was undoubtedly the girl's love.

A man as outstanding as him would be like a bright light wherever he goes, attracting countless moths to him without knowing the consequences.

Oh, my damn charm~

Chapter 173: Safe Floor Murder Case

2023-06-01

The lower level is very far from the ground, and even people who are familiar with the route will take most of the day to get here. Therefore, every time you go to the lower level to explore, you will not return until two or three days later.

Jiang Li set the exploration cycle to three days. After three days, he would return to the ground, rest for two days, and then continue exploring.

He himself doesn't care at all, but he also has to consider Lefiya and the others as well as the issue of supplies.

Although there will be a large number of Lv.3 monsters in the lower level, the reduction in the strength gap between the monsters has greatly slowed down Jiang Li's leveling speed.

Every time he explored the lower level, his proficiency only increased by about 4 to points, which was nothing compared to before. If he continued like this, it would take him at least two or three months to reach level .

"No expedition?"

Jiang Li often complained like this.

"How can it be so fast?"

Alicia complained speechlessly, "It's only been a few days since the last expedition. The next expedition won't start for at least a month... Let's not talk about that. Come and try the bento I made!"

Lefiya remained silent beside him. She hadn't spoken much in the past few days, as if she was thinking about some serious problem.

Jiang Li was just talking.

He was well aware that an expedition would require consideration of material mobilization, personal connections, and other factors, and that it would not be prepared in a few days.

But he really likes big experience packs like expeditions.

If there were an expedition, he could reach Lv.4 at least twice as fast.

"Let's go back today. It's almost noon."

After lunch, Alicia took out her pocket watch and made a proposal to the two of them.

"Alright."

Jiang Li sighed.

"Speaking of which, does charm work on monsters?"

While urinating, Jiang Li found a monster and experimented with it.

As a result, the monster's expression suddenly became fanatical. Even though he raised the butcher knife, it had no intention of escaping and looked like it was willing to die.

In other words, there is no way to communicate, otherwise they will definitely obey orders. It is just like brainwashing, so terrifying.

Some people may think that if this is the case, then why not just use charm to lure and kill monsters on a large scale? However, this is not the case. What is needed to improve proficiency is practice, not slaughter.

You won't gain much proficiency by killing people who offer no resistance, even if you kill a higher-level monster.

The next time those Lv.5 characters go to the dungeon, even if they slaughter Lv.4 monsters on a large scale, the improvement in their proficiency will be at most in the single digits. The fact that Ai Si's expedition only increases their proficiency by less than 20 points shows how big the difference is.

Several people returned to the entrance of the 25th floor, and then fought their way back to the 18th floor.

By the time they reached the 18th floor, it was almost evening. The three of them took a detour to Rivera Street, intending to take a short rest here, have dinner, and replenish their energy.

However, as soon as they arrived at the 18th floor, they found that the atmosphere here was completely wrong.

“It feels like there are too few people.”

Jiang Li looked at the deserted street and was completely confused.

Although the streets of Rivera are not big, there are at least 500 adventurers living here. It can't be said to be prosperous and lively, but it is impossible to see no one as soon as you enter.

"The store still has its goods, but no one is there."

Lefiya walked to a shabby prop store and called out twice but no one responded.

“…There seems to be a sound over there in the square.”

Alicia listened attentively for a while, then said thoughtfully.

After a brief discussion, the three of them decided to go to the square to take a look.

They had eaten all the food they had with them, even the portable food was gone, so they had to find a store to eat something.

Crystal Plaza.

The twin crystals destroyed by the frog girl Phryne have been restored and stand in the center of the square, emitting brilliant colors and illuminating the place.

At this moment, just like at that time, all the adventurers in the street gathered here, making it very noisy.

The person who did this this time was someone Jiang Li and his acquaintances.

"Ms. Ais?!"

Lefiya exclaimed.

She saw the blonde girl standing in the middle of the square and couldn't help but feel nervous.

How to do how to do?

If Miss Ai Si sees Jiang Li and I together, will she misunderstand our relationship? How should I explain it... Lefiya's mind was full of random thoughts and she was very nervous.

Alicia said she is not an air person.

"Jiang Li, you guys are here too?"

When Ai Si saw them, she couldn't help but show a slight surprise, and then she took the initiative to walk towards them.

Lefiya's expression suddenly froze.
