Chapter 20: Bennett, the Source of Calamity

"Huh? Brother Su Mu, where are you going, aren't you staying at Starfall Lake? ”

Just as Su Mu was packing up his things and running away, a familiar voice came from behind him that made him stiff.

Gently putting down the things in his hand, Su Mu turned around with a stiff face and squeezed out a smile.

"Bennett, why are you here?"

"Oh, I just came out of the ruins, and I feel that I can't handle the ruins on my own, so I hope that Brother Su Mu will come out, let's finish exploring the ruins, and I believe that this ruins will definitely have gorgeous treasure chests."

Bennett's fists were clenched, his expression agitated, and his sparkling eyes seemed to have seen the ornate treasure chest beckoning to him.

"Hehe, have you ever seen a gorgeous treasure chest with good luck?"

Su Mu tugged at the corners of his mouth, when he played the invitation event in his previous life, he was very sympathetic to Bennett's calamity physique, and Bennett, who was a six-star fire god, couldn't affect his team, and it was a big crutch for the team. This also made Su Mu always have a good impression of Bennett.

He met Bennett, an orphan, while he was in the blacksmith's shop, and later registered with the Adventurers' Guild as a member of Benny's Adventure Party.

"Hehe~ Isn't this big brother Su Mu here, as long as big brother Su Mu comes out, I believe that this reward will be very rich!"

Bennett said embarrassedly as he lowered his head and touched the back of his head.

Bennett is still very clear about his bad luck physique, after all, all his teammates are sick and on leave.

Su Mu rarely acts with Bennett, because even the system can't withstand Bennett's damn fate.

To put it simply, adventuring with Bennett can trigger the maximum number of times the system's daily box can be triggered in an hour.

Triggering the option box over time causes the system to not give any feedback to Sumu for a period of time.

So this also indirectly allows Su Mu to test the approximate number of times the system can trigger the option box every day, once it is close or reaches the limit, Su Mu will go back to the tent to sleep, and will not go anywhere.

But it's different with Bennett, without the help of the system box, Su Mu once again experienced a handful of despair in the world during that time, and all unfortunate things were encountered by him and Bennett, if it weren't for Bennett's elemental combat skills to hang his breath, maybe he would be hanging in that ruin.

Even the system couldn't bear to suggest that Bennett be stunned when they were about to encounter the last treasure chest, so that he could get a relatively rich reward, which paid off the hardships along the way.

After dividing the reward equally with Bennett, Bennett tasted the sweetness, and as long as there were ruins unearthed, he would run to ask Su Mu if he was free, so that Benny's adventure group could achieve greater glory.!

Su Mu naturally refuses if he can, and avoids Bennett if he can't.

He will only go on an adventure with Bennett after the system option is agreed, of course, the process is bumpy and twisty, and the ending must be to stun Bennett.

Over time, Bennett found that the harvest from the experience with Su Mu was actually more than that of him for three months, and Su Mu seemed to have the ability to predict and avoid many dangers in advance, which made him feel that the adventure was unusually smooth, and the rewards were very rich.

This also made him develop a habit, as long as he encounters a problem that cannot be solved, it is not wrong to find Brother Su Mu!

If even Brother Su Mu can't solve it, then giving up is the best solution.

In all fairness, Bennett was really a good boy, and he was also the only four-star-level phantom god that Su Mu could come into contact with in the early stage of the Teyvat Continent, so Su Mu had been intentionally cultivating Bennett.

Except for his bad luck, this kid can be called excellent in other aspects, after all, he is the reincarnation of the god of fire, and his talent is there.

As long as Bennett is provided with enough help to make Bennett's training up, the golden holy relic will no longer be a dream, and the snow-capped mountain will be able to break through.

But that didn't stop him from avoiding Bennett, because this guy's bad luck was just too terrifying. He really understood Royce's complaints during the invitation mission, because he had also experienced that kind of suffering, which was incomprehensible from an outsider's point of view.

Only by being strong can the danger of bad luck be minimized.

"You go to the side to catch some game first, and we'll go after I'm done packing up."

Su Mu originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the current situation, there is not much point in staying here, anyway, the traveler is almost here, and his attribute panel has a certain thickness, so it's time to change the map.

Besides, the higher-ups in Mondstadt had noticed him and had to go out to avoid the risks, and taking an adventure with Bennett was indeed an unexpected choice.

"Yay! Benny's adventure party is back on its way! ”

Seeing Bennett leave happily, Su Mu wiped the cold sweat on his head, hurriedly opened the package and checked it one by one, and soon found that the items that were originally not in problem had cracks or even broken directly.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing that the damage was not very large, Su Mu hurriedly repaired and replaced the things, and then threw everything into the storage bag.

After a long period of contact with Bennett, only the contents of the storage bag survived.

He took out the cooking ingredients that he had prepared long ago to cook, and as expected, Bennett came back empty-handed.

Taking the skewers handed over by Su Mu, Bennett gulped them down.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten the food cooked by Brother Su Mu, and it's still so fragrant!"

"Shut up!"

Just when Bennett opened his mouth to praise Su Mu, a piece of wood flew out of nowhere and directly smashed the food stall.

Looking at Su Mu's sinking face, Bennett knew that he was wrong, and he stopped talking with a weak heart.

Su Mu, who was not angry, took out the food that had been prepared from the storage bag and handed it to Bennett.

"How many times have I told you that you have to be silent and silent, otherwise your bad luck will mess up everything, I really doubt that you have the ability to reverse words."

Bennett took the food, laughed twice and said no more, concentrating on dealing with the food, while Su Mu cleaned up the mess on the side.

I've been with Bennett for a long time, and I'm used to these things, and as long as I prepare in advance, many things won't hurt much.

"After eating, let's go and brush the leyline flower first, let me see if your strength has improved."

Su Mu took the initiative to say.

Bennett's arrival did not trigger the new option this time, which means that the system thinks that as long as you are cautious, Bennett's bad luck will not affect you too much.

This is also the reason why Sumu intends to go on an adventure with Bennett.

Bennett's existence is equivalent to an extreme stress testing machine, the process is painful but you can learn a lot of experience, when Su Mu has enough experience, he is sure to take Bennett to explore the snowy mountains.

"Okay! I've also improved a lot in recent months, and I'm sure I'll surprise Big Brother Su Mu when the time comes! ”

Bennett finished eating the food in his hand, and then said rejuvenated.

"Huh? Breakthrough? ”

"Huh? Did Brother Su Mu find out? I was imprisoned by the ruins for three months this time, and before I knew it, I broke through. ”

Bennett touched the back of his head, he originally wanted to surprise Brother Su Mu, but he didn't expect the other party to see through it at a glance.
