Chapter 2, Plunder
"Hahaha, let me tell you, Lao Tzu also killed the goblin in seconds a while ago!" Speaking of excitement, he didn't forget to pat his belly.
The attendants who were drinking on the side also flattered.
"Hey, if you want me to say, Hakai, if you try too hard, the goblins on the mountain will be wiped out. Then we won't have anywhere to earn money to eat. ”
"Really, uh~ But then again, with our current strength, the monsters on the nearby mountains are not enough to see! Say yes. ”
"That's not wrong at all, if you want me to say so. Recently, however, I have heard that some villagers have seen thieves in the vicinity,...... Or maybe we'll just take the treasure that those guys have stored. ”
Xinghe snatched it from behind the barrel, looking intently at the stupid foursome.
This is also to find clues related to the white fog as soon as possible, and watch them... Look, look......
(Huh?) When Galaxy noticed the status table, he noticed something.
It's that after focusing your attention on the HP item, a line of small print will appear.
————
[HP: Vitality. Once it reaches zero, it will die. 】
————
It seems that the status project is becoming able to see more detailed information.
Then Galaxy also focused on the MP project, and the results were the same.
————
[MP: Mental power.] The power required to use skills such as magic, door skills, and combat skills. It can also convert MP into mana and wrap it around the body to strengthen the body. 】
————
(Wow!) Looking at it this way, my conjecture is correct. Ignoring the four people, Xinghe hurried home, also to confirm the rest of the items as soon as possible.
The content here is roughly understood.
I also discovered that the inherent skill "Otherworldly Vision" has changed from LV1 to LV2.
It seems that the galaxy is not thought of. (Maybe it's because I've been watching intently for the past week, so even the level has gone up.) )
As for the matter of wrapping the magic around the body like white smoke, it was also about two weeks before Xinghe was finally able to do it.
It can wrap magic around the body, and it can get amplitude from it.
Galaxy was amazed at the effect it could bring.
Not only the physical ability has been improved, but also the eyesight and hearing have been excellent.
While this progress is gratifying, it has its own problems.
Then the MP of Galaxy as a user is too low, so the MP will be 0 all of a sudden after it is turned on.
At the moment, Galaxy has to think about it, and the next task is to increase MP while thinking about efficient use.
It was also on the same day that I learned from Stella how to increase MP and the basic slaughtering method of animals, so I went to bed.
Since then, Xinghe has been practicing the skill of wrapping magic around his body whenever he has free time, as well as meditating to increase his MP storage space.
After practicing day after day, he finally understood one thing.
That is the technique that converts this MP into mana, which is a "fighting skill" of an active skill.
On this day, as usual, Xinghe was doing the routine of collecting herbs, and immediately practiced "fighting skills" after the end of the mission.
Although the MP drops slowly at first, it only takes five minutes for the MP to go to zero.
And after doing this practice day after day, Xinghe also found that even if the level does not increase, the MP will increase as much as strength or agility.
Xinghe didn't know how to default to his own conjecture, and the MP value was the same as muscle strength training, and the more he used it, the more he would increase.
It was with this thought in mind that Xinghe stopped meditating and instead used the time he had been meditating on to exercise his body.
Seeing his progress in the past few days, Xinghe also summed up: "If it were now, the "fighting skill" would have been able to last for ten minutes, and the MP had increased from the initial base value to 8. ”
However, despite the fourfold increase in MP, the duration is still only 10 minutes. At one point, Xinghe thought it was because of the fact that the mana cost of "Fighting Skills" in the status table had increased from 1 to 2.
Of course, the increase in the cost of "fighting skills" also corresponds to a relative increase in the effect of improving physical ability when casting.
However, Galaxy is now practicing how to control the amount of mana consumed, trying to deal with the problem of fast MP loss.
Maybe there's some kind of trick in this that I didn't discover. Xinghe thought to himself.
So he tried to follow Hakai and his fellow adventurers several times, trying to learn something from them.
However, Hakai's "fighting skills" are always losing their magic power, so for a few days, Xinghe has found nothing.
As a result, the lost mana of the galaxy is also circulating throughout the body, and using this image to launch a "fighting technique" will not interrupt or fail to perform the effects it would provide.
"Well, it's a lot less burdensome than churning......
Although it seems that the state of Xinghe is still unstable, after Xinghe's repeated attempts, it has also made unprecedented progress.
It's just that Xinghe himself doesn't know that this technology can only be flexibly used by the avant-garde above the backbone.
And the name of this "fighting technique" technique is called "flow".
After that, Xinghe practiced "fighting skills" while collecting herbs, and not only MP value, but also HP value.
Until now, the collection of herbs had to be done early in the morning until the evening, but now the galaxy can finish before noon.
It is also due to the extra time that Galaxy has doubled the amount of muscle strength training from the original basis.
Because if you go to the adventurer's guild early to report the end of the mission, you will definitely be suspected by others, and there will be a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Galaxy will continue to report at the same time as usual.
"You'll bring you twice as much tomorrow."
The arrogant appearance of the leader of the Adventurer's Guild made Xinghe can't help but stare at him.
Although he placed the order very remarkably, he would still steal two-thirds of the reward from the mission of the galaxy.
This guild leader has the skills of "Forge LV1" and "Alchemy LV1", and he may be able to process herbs into stamina supplements and sell them for profit.
When Galaxy left the Adventurer's Guild, the guild leader called Hakai, and they whispered while looking in the direction of Galaxy.
Xinghe hurriedly left the guild in order not to let him be entangled again.
When walking around the village, although Xinghe will deliberately avoid making eye contact with the villagers, they look at Xinghe with contempt.
And their slander and scolding deliberately raised their volume, so loud that they had to be heard by Xinghe.
"Black-haired, black-eyed imp...... It's disgusting. ”
"Just get out of the village quickly."
“……”
The galaxy is still walking as if nothing happened. But it seems that something has been said too much.
Shout.
A villager throws a stone at the galaxy... But it didn't hit.
"Tsk!" The stone-throwing villager covered his mouth, which seemed to him a pity.
Suddenly. Xinghe felt a different gaze from the villagers, and when he looked in the direction of that gaze, he noticed that a red-haired woman was looking at it.
She was about fifteen to seventeen years old, wearing a leather jacket and hot pants, and a short sword around her waist.
Remember that the woman was the last of the five adventurers in the village...... What's the name? Xinghe really can't think of it.
In the small village of Resel, there are now only five adventurers stranded. There were four of Hakai and his henchmen, and the last one was the redhead.
Unlike the other villagers, she didn't look at the galaxy with contempt or contempt.
But now Xinghe doesn't want to stay in the village now, and wants to leave the scene quickly.
When she got home, Stella was sewing clothes.
After seeing the galaxy home, and attached a sweet micro.
"I'm back."
"Are you being bullied in the village?"
"It's safe today, it's okay."
Seeing that Xinghe would occasionally get hurt, Stella could also slightly feel that the villagers would make things difficult for Xinghe.
Xinghe had asked Stella why she had left the village to live, and she replied that she was not used to the closed atmosphere of the village.
When Xinghe said that she had collected herbs early or found goblins in the mountains, Stella would exaggerate her surprise or smile happily.
After talking and laughing for a while, Xinghe learned how to write and tailor from Stella, and then went to bed.
The next day, when Xinghe went to the Adventurer's Guild to report on the herb collection task as usual, he found that something was not right.
Hakai's henchmen gathered around the entrance, and Xinghe immediately had a bad premonition.
When Galaxy entered the Adventurer's Guild, Hakai and the others moved their bodies as if blocking the entrance. That action is reminiscent of the hunter's action to prevent the prey from escaping.
Xinghe had a bad premonition, so he planned to leave the Adventurer's Guild as soon as possible after receiving the payment, but the moment he turned back, a shock rushed through his abdomen.
And the true face of this impact is the punch that Hakai struck.
Xinghe, who had been attacked by the sneak attack, sat down on the floor and looked up, and the fat pig of Hakai looked down on Xinghe with that disgusting smile as usual.
"Little ghost, how does my fist taste? Hahaha..."Hakai sneered as he trampled on the galaxy.
"Uh-huh......"
Xinghe couldn't help but feel sick and vomited.
Xinghe immediately wrapped up the "fighting skill", but Hakai still kicked Xinghe in the head without care.
Xinghe thought to himself: Obviously entangled in "fighting skills", don't they care about Hakai?
Do they mean they can't see it? Is it just because I have special eyes that I can see?
While Xinghe was thinking about various things, the other party still did not hesitate to use violence against him.
The constant repetition of violence reminds Xinghe of his former hellish lifestyle.
I don't like the eyes, I don't like the way I eat, I don't like the sound...... Even if you do nothing, the result will be the same, and it will not change.
In fact, I already knew that there was no reason for this, just an excuse for my stepfather to use unreasonable violence against him.
The memory of being abused every day allows Xinghe to stay calm in this situation.
So far, although he has been beaten up when he has nothing to do, he has not used violence against me to this extent. Someone should have instructed him to do this.
Xinghe tried to cover his head with his hands, and the damage was transferred to his torso as much as possible.
Although the other party is not holding a weapon, he is an adventurer after all, and his arm strength can be said to be quite strong.
If it were an ordinary person, it would not be strange if he lost consciousness or died. However, Xinghe used the "fighting technique" to wrap the magic power around his body, so the damage was reduced.
Suddenly, Hakai grabbed Xinghe's chest and lifted him, whispering in his ear, "Little ghost, I don't want to do this kind of thing, but it's part of the job." ”
And so it was. Xinghe thought about it as he pondered who the mysterious client was.
"Hehe, I care about it. Who entrusted me with the work? It's—oh. ”
The moment Hakai said his name, Xinghe's head went blank. (What is this guy talking about...... )
Hakai then sneered in a lewd voice, and the attendants around him laughed together.
"Didn't I tell you~~ It's everyone, everyone! All the guys in the village are asking me to deal with you disgusting little devil with black hair and black eyes! Ahh Ha ha! ”
"Hahaha..."
“……”
It's not that Xinghe doesn't believe it, it just doesn't understand: what did I do...... To be treated like this, can't I just exist in this world?
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not here to take your life...... As long as you can promise not to enter the village in the future. ”
"You just have to huddle outside the village with that little girl."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. So we ......"
Suddenly, the guild leader gave a suggestive look to Xinghe and Hakai.
After noticing the sight, the attendants also shut up, and Hakai nodded knowingly.
"Little ghost, the herb you brought will be placed at the entrance of the village every day from today, do you hear clearly? Also, you have to put an extra basket every day, you know. When you know, thank you to the guild leader. ”
It is not difficult for Xinghe to hear that there is something in these words: That dead old man... Are you going to ask me to take the herbs for free in the future......
Xinghe glared at Hakai.
"Hey, hey, you're so unpleasant. You don't seem to understand where you stand! Also...... You just need to be silently squeezed by us! ”
(Pressure?) …… Deprived? )
"If you're not obedient, even Stella's little girl will have the same fate."
(Shi ...... Della...... Will it be? Open, what's the joke...... I... What did I do wrong! )
(Press...... Deprived? No, don't...... I don't want to be deprived...... Why? Can I only be a deprived being? I... Don't... ...... for a lifetime )
(Don't...... Don't want me, don't !! )
Desperate thoughts were eating away at his mind, and with a severe headache, the galaxy began to become strange.
I want to take everything away from these guys in front of me. Xinghe thought to himself.
With hatred, no. It was murderous intent glaring at them.
The disobedient galaxy seemed to make Hakai feel very unpleasant the more he looked at it, so Hakai chose to continue to raise his hand and beat him.
But Xinghe still stared at Hakai.
After a few punches, Xinghe's face swelled in the blink of an eye, and now it is difficult to even open his eyes.
But despite this situation, Xinghe still looked at Hakai and continued to stare at him with the intention of "going to take everything from the other party".
