Chapter 10 - Episode 8

Speaking of which, what's growing in that field?

With my clothes in hand, my curiosity was further aroused by the fact that a day had passed, and I decided to check out the house again. It was spring break and I had already done my homework anyway.

What's more, by chance, I had more money than I could afford after months of work.

I'll have time to do this, and more importantly, I'll be busy again once this spring break is over.

So I went outside the house to check the fields.

I went outside to check the field, "Oh, there's some kind of unfamiliar grass and vegetables? Oh, there's some kind of unfamiliar weeds and vegetables planted there.

There were many weeds that could be mistaken for weeds, tomatoes and radishes.

I could tell that the weeds were not weeds because they were growing in a neat row.

Hmm? Oh, that's what they were watering with?

There was a silver jug near the field.

I grabbed it and found that it was filled with water.

I held it and found that it was filled with water. "... Maybe this jug is something special, too?

I thought it might be, so I did a quick appraisal and found ....

This is the "Infinite Jouro" ..., a jouro that gushes out water endlessly. The water inside the jouro is called Seijyosui, and any withered plant can be instantly revitalized by feeding it with this water. The water is kept clean at all times, so people can drink it, and if they do, it not only recovers their general fatigue, but also increases their magical power. Contractor: Yuuya Amagami.

I've gotten used to it.

Yeah, I knew that.

I knew it would be like that.

The original owner of the house, the wise man, was a far more dangerous person than I had ever imagined.

The fact that he's dead is a bit of a mixed blessing.

"Why? What about this crop?

First, I ran a test on the grass.

I found ....

If you eat it, you can heal all sorts of wounds and illnesses, whether you're missing a limb or blind. It also restores magic power. It is very easy to grow, as it leaves seeds on its own when collected. However, this grass itself is not found in the legendary level.

I still couldn't get used to it.

You wouldn't think that the effect would be this crazy, would you?

This plant is a complete doctor's nightmare, isn't it?

I'm just glad to know that it's easy to grow.

So, what about the others?

With some nervousness, I ran an appraisal on all the crops I had planted.

The "Super Power Tomato" ... is a tomato that increases attack power when eaten. It also increases your strength and energy, and makes you less tired. It is very easy to grow, as it leaves its own seeds when you collect it.

Invincible Pumpkin" ... A pumpkin that increases defense when eaten. It also has a stabilizing effect on the mind, making it resistant to mental attacks and abnormalities. It is very easy to grow, as it leaves seeds on its own when collected.

Radish of Wisdom" ... A radish that increases intelligence when eaten. It also allows you to use your brain in special ways, such as parallel thinking and high-speed thinking. It is very easy to grow, as it leaves seeds of its own accord when collected.

The "God Speed Potato" ... is a potato that increases your agility when eaten. It also strengthens kinetic vision and reflexes. It is very easy to grow because it leaves its own seeds when you collect it.

Okay, that's a lot to say.

I didn't expect it to be a status-enhancing item! Where were you going with this, wise guy!

And I don't understand why it leaves seeds on its own, as usual! Potatoes are seeds, right? It's not, is it?

This vegetable is full of fantasy elements. It looks like a vegetable I know, though.

It looks like a vegetable I know. ... Well, it looks edible, and what's more, if it raises my status, I'll eat it. ...

If you can eat it, you can save money on food, which is great for me. I'm not sure what to do with it.

I'm not sure what to say. ... I'm tired all morning.

Even though it was still early afternoon, I was already mentally exhausted. No, I don't think I can help it.

As I was thinking this, I felt a sense of intimidation like I did when I met the Bloody Ogre yesterday.

I immediately turned my gaze in that direction and saw an object that looked like a pitch-black slime.

... What the hell is that?

I couldn't help but try to appraise it.

And then the following message was displayed.

[Health Slime

Level: 200

Magic Power: 5000

Attack Power: 1000

Defense: 5000

Agility: 100

Intelligence: 100

Luck: 100

Seriously? ...

After the Bloody Ogre, is the Hellslime next? ...

Um, for what it's worth, this forest is not a beginner's place, is it? It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

It's true that I felt intimidated by it, but I didn't feel as scared as I did yesterday.

No, it wasn't that I wasn't scared, it was just that I didn't feel scared enough to sit back and relax.

It's not because I'm a higher level than yesterday, or because this health slime is lower level than the Bloody Ogre.

It's as if my mental structure has changed from yesterday.

It's scary to realize that ..., but it's nice to be able to think calmly.

When I was calmly observing the health slime in such a way, it was like a Bloody Ogre, repeatedly hitting my body with great force to enter this house.

"No, it's really too scary for the creatures of this world. ...

It's too merciless no matter how much it wants to, isn't it? I'm not sure what to make of it.

... Is it just that the earth is too peaceful to begin with?

I don't know. I don't want to get out too much, but I'd at least like to check out the area around this house, you know? Then again, I wonder if fighting is inevitable, like the current situation. ...

With that in mind, I took out the "Zetsubou Spear" from my item box.

I'm not sure what to do. I can hold it just fine. ...

I was able to hold the spear with one hand, to my surprise. I'm sure this is normal, but for me it was amazing.

It's a great way to get the most out of your time and money.

Then, although the spear swung around a bit, I was able to handle it.

The benefits of leveling up are just too great. What was the point of all my muscle training? ...

This sounds like he's being pushed around because he doesn't know how to use a spear or anything, so what if he looked up how to use a spear in a book and then tried to use it exactly like that?

It's not going to be easy, but I can use a spear now, and as a man, that's something I'm very attracted to, so I thought I'd check it out when I could afford it.

In order to do that, I'll have to deal with that guy first.

I regripped my spear and decided to throw it, something I hadn't been able to do yesterday.

I had no hesitation in doing so, so I took a big swing and threw the spear away with one hand.

"No way!

Then, the spear flew away at a speed faster than I expected. ... Not only that, but I noticed that there was a hole in the body of the health slime.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I was stunned, but the spear came back to me as if it was natural.

The Health Slime shook its body a little and then disappeared as particles of light, just like when it defeated the Bloody Ogre.

And there were various things scattered around the place again in the same way.

Let's go to ...... and collect it.

It still didn't feel real and subtle, but I was curious about what had fallen, so I quickly made my way to the entrance.

I was still feeling unrealistic and subtle, but I was curious about what had fallen, so I quickly made my way to the entrance.

The core of the Hellslime: ... The heart of the Hellslime. It contains a huge amount of magic power and can be processed into a variety of weapons.

Health Lime Jelly: ... Coffee-flavored jelly. If you eat it, your magic power and defense power will increase.

Demon Stone: C: ... Rank C. A special ore obtained from demons with magical powers.

"Coffee jelly?

I didn't expect to find anything close to coffee jelly among the things I got. On the contrary, I didn't think it was anything close to coffee jelly, let alone that it was a status enhancer like the crops in the field!

Then again, I also got a magic stone. ... Is this going to be redeemed for a higher price again?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hopeful. My life is tight, so if I can get money for it, I want it.

I'd also like to redeem the Healthlime nukes if I can, since I don't know how to use them. I'd like to take the health lime jelly home with me, though.

As I was appraising the items that had fallen, I realized that I had failed to appraise one of them.

Oh, there was another one.

The item that had fallen was a silver necklace with a black jewel-like object embedded in a fashionable crescent moon design.

I'm not familiar with the game.

I don't know much about games, but is it normal for accessories like this to fall off? I'm not familiar with the game, so I don't know. It's a stylish slime.

At any rate, I still got it from the health slime, so I appraised it.

The Black Moon Necklace is a rare drop item that can be obtained from ... health slime. The wearer's status will increase at night. It also collects sunlight and converts it into magical power, constantly restoring the wearer's magical power. Contractor: Yuuya Amagami.

This was a rare drop item that I didn't expect.

Well, I don't understand why a slime would be fashionable, either. It's a little disappointing.

But the effect seems to be very good. It seems to increase your status, albeit only during the night, and it also restores your magic power. I don't know how to use magic power, though.

Since this is the first rare drop item I've gotten, I decided to try it on. I've never worn a necklace before.

Does it look good on me?

It's not like I asked anyone, but I couldn't help but say that.

The old me wouldn't have looked good at all, but I'm skinny, so I hope it looks good on me.

While I was holding such a hope, a message appeared.

The level has been raised. You have acquired the skill [Detecting Signs].

What?

No, wait a minute.

I'm going to have to experience that intense pain again? It is true that my opponent's level was higher than mine, and I can understand the level increase. But even if you understand it, can you accept it? I don't want to do this!

In the meantime, I wanted to escape reality, even if only temporarily, so I checked my skills.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before.

It was a very simple explanation, but it means you can do something like in the manga, "I know you're there! So you can do the same thing as in the manga.

I'm really happy about this.

Like before, you have to go outside to retrieve the item, and this reduces the danger in the meantime.

When I was satisfied with my new skills, I finally moved on to check my status.

It's been quite a while.

I'm not sure what to say. Is this how it is? It's good because it's easy to see.

I'm going to assign BPs to them.

After some thought, I assigned the BP.

The result is this.

Unlike before, this time I didn't allocate BP to magic power and intelligence.

In the event you're not sure what to do, you may want to check with your doctor.

It's a complete guess, but if my luck status is high enough, I might be able to get some rare drop items again, which would be hard to get like before.

Besides, just being lucky makes me kind of happy.

It had been an eventful morning, but it was now noon, so I headed back home.
