Chapter 107
However, Kasumigaoka reminded Li Yue that he should find some time to visit the world of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend, and then have Eriri start writing the second volume. He could also check how well the first volume sold, give Eriri some of the writing commission, and then the rest would be his own money.
It's a story changed by Eriri's own experience, but Eriri is going to give Li Yue money. I wonder what Eriri will think about that.
For now, we should take these four gods and one person and have some fun in the Konosuba World.
Because they had defeated the Headless Knight, Li Yue and his companions received a great welcome in Axel City, especially within the Adventurer's Guild, where Li Yue were extremely welcomed.
Thank you so much!
Luna, the guild's receptionist, whose breasts were so large they almost overflowed from her clothes, respectfully bowed to Li Yue and the others in the guild hall.
"Mr. Li Yue's team defeated the Demon King's Army's officers, and we have prepared special rewards for Mr. Li Yue's team."
"Oh! Is it the kind of reward for adventurers who hunt monsters?"
As a Mondstadt resident, Venti is very familiar with this, given the strong adventurer atmosphere in Mondstadt, or rather, the strongest adventurer atmosphere in Teyvat. Free Mondstadt residents can choose to become free adventurers.
"That's right. Beldia, as a cadre of the Demon King's Army, has a special bounty. Therefore, after Mr. Li Yue's team defeats him, we will transfer his special bounty to your team."
Li Yue had registered as an adventurer here before, so this time Li Yue completed the quest as an adventurer. Although Luna didn't recognize Zhongli and the others, she assumed they were members of Li Yue's team.
"Oh? How much money?"
"Because the Headless Knight Beldia is a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's Army, his special bounty is as high as 300 million Eris."
Three hundred million!
Hu Tao opened her plum blossom eyes wide in surprise.
"Hey, Li Yue, three hundred million sounds like a lot. I'm not familiar with prices here, is it a lot?"
"Not just a lot, it's an enormous amount!"
Megumin explained from the side.
"If you give me 300 million, I can live a life of luxury!"
In the Konosuba World, the purchasing power of Eris is equivalent to that of the Japanese Yen. One Eris is roughly equal Kazuma one Japanese Yen in the real world, so three hundred million Eris is indeed a very large amount.
"Looks like we're going to be pretty rich from now on."
"Senior!"
Kazuma went straight to Li Yue's side.
"Can you lend me some money?"
Are you short of money?
"My three teammates are just too powerful, which has caused me to be in debt ever since I came to this world. I can only sleep in the stable, and I can only buy the simplest clothes, not to mention armor and weapons. To this day, I can only use a short sword."
Kazuma complained for a while.
How much do you want?
Li Yue wasn't short of money; after all, the Konosuba World wasn't a place where he spent large sums of money, so lending some to Kazuma wasn't a problem.
"Five hundred... no, five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand Eris, is that alright?!"
Kazuma originally wanted to ask for more, but he felt embarrassed to say it. Although five million was not much compared to three hundred million, it was still a bit of an exorbitant request. So he changed it to five hundred thousand. After saying that, he looked at Li Yue nervously, waiting for Li Yue reply.
"Five hundred thousand? No problem."
"Really? Thank you so much!"
Li Yue's easy and straightforward answer made Kazuma jump up with joy.
His debts aren't much, but there's a chance he might never be able to raise all the money he owes.
If Kazuma had defeated the Headless Knight, he could have made money. Kazuma, he relied on Aqua to defeat the Headless Knight, and Aqua is a real pain in the neck. Those who know, know. While she defeated the Headless Knight, she caused even greater losses than the Headless Knight!
As a result, Kazuma's team received the Headless Knight's bounty and ended up owing 40 million Eris.
"Later, from the bounty you give me, directly allocate 500,000 to Satou Kazuma's squad."
Li Yue made a request to Luna.
"No problem, Mr. Li Yue."
Luna readily agreed.
"Alright, now that we're all here in this world, everyone."
Li Yue looked at the people behind her.
"Interested in trying your hand at being an adventurer?"
176. Everyone's bizarre job changes: Is Satou Kazuma myself?
Having arrived in a Japanese fantasy world, the adventurer profession is an unavoidable source of enjoyment.
When Li Yue asked the question, everyone nodded in agreement to have some fun.
So, Li Yue led the five of them to the guild's new member registration window, registered them one by one, and then checked their initial attributes.
"First of all, Zhongli, all your attributes are amazing, all of them are much above average, your Magic Power is also very high, and even your luck is a bit above average. You have absolutely no weaknesses. You can choose any profession."
"What kind of job would you like to pursue?"
Li Yue held up Zhongli's adventurer card and asked Zhongli a question.
"What kinds of professions are available, and do you have any recommendations, Li Yue?"
"The main professions are knight, priest, mage, thief, archer, warrior, swordsman, spearman, ranger, and adventurer."
"Knights' abilities tend to be defensive, especially the higher-ranking Cross Knight, who are usually at the forefront, but they are also very strong in combat. Priests provide support from the rear, providing teammates with many reinforcement skills, and can remove curses and purify the undead. The higher-ranking High Priest can even resurrect people."
"He can be resurrected!?"
All five of them stared at Li Yue; this was a big deal.
"This resurrection is quite special. The body must be intact and the person must have just died. Moreover, the person being resurrected can only be resurrected once."
The High Priest's resurrection skill works like this. As for Aqua repeatedly resurrecting Satou Kazuma, it's because she directly threatened Eris in the Celestial Realm, giving Kazuma a backdoor so that he could be resurrected at will as long as he didn't turn to ash. This is Aqua's ultimate favoritism towards Kazuma! If Kazuma were in the Type-Moon world, he would at least have a passive skill like "Goddess's Favor".
Upon hearing that they could only be resurrected once, and that the resurrection was only possible if the body was still intact and had just died, the five people lost much of their interest.
"What about other professions?"
"A mage uses various powerful spells, such as healing, attacking, or even teleporting. There are many types of magic, too many to list in a short time. In short, it is a profession with very strong overall capabilities."
"The remaining thieves, archers, warriors, spearmen, and rangers are, as the names suggest, specialized professions that lean towards physical attacks. Each of these professions, including the ones mentioned above, has a unique skill that only they can learn, and they will receive a profession bonus in the direction of that skill."
"Oh? What about adventurers? You just said that adventurers are a profession, right?"
"The Adventurer class is quite special. Its strengths lie more in exploration or adventure, with almost no bonuses to attack capabilities. It's a beginner class, but Adventurers have a unique ability: they can learn skills from all other classes."
"Doesn't that mean adventurers are the most powerful class?"
Zhongli guessed.
"In a sense, adventurers are indeed the most powerful class, but only if you have enough talent. Other classes have super strong bonuses to their special skills, and if adventurers want to achieve those bonuses, they need extremely strong talent stats to support them."
To put it simply, adventurers are indeed extremely versatile, but only if you are a stat-obsessed player with enough skill points to upgrade your skills and unleash the same power as special classes with their bonuses.
Incidentally, if your base talent is high, you'll also have more base skill points and more skill points gained after leveling up compared to others.
However, for the four gods among the five people in front of them, they certainly don't lack stats; the four of them are absolute stat monsters!
However, it would be very boring if everyone became an adventurer. Aizen has already chosen to be an adventurer, so it wouldn't make much sense for these four to choose to be adventurers as well.
"Zhongli, you have a rather calm personality, so why don't you take the path of protection and become a Cross Knight? You can use a gun or a sword."
"Then let's use guns, and become Cross Knight."
Zhongli followed Li Yue's advice and made a choice.
"Here, take this adventurer card. You have high talent and a lot of basic skill points, which can be used to unlock many skills, such as physical resistance, magic resistance, various status ailment resistance, decoys, taunts, and so on."
Li Yue crossed her arms over her chest.
"If you level up abnormal resistance, you can almost become immune to all negative effects."
"Um!?"
Zhongli looked at Li Yue after hearing this.
"Can it really be immune to all negative effects?"
"It's almost true! But that depends on how high you can reach. If you reach a high enough level, you can withstand even a god!"
The potential for adventurers in this world is truly outrageous. Megumin only invests in Explosion Magic, and as a result, in the end, Explosion Magic can kill everyone, and even the gods have to fear her. Darkness, on the other hand, as Cross Knight, invests all his points in Defense, and his defense is so high that he can hold his own against an entire army.
"I see."
After Zhongli nodded, he immediately started adding points to abnormal resistance. Li Yue watched from the side, his mouth twitching. He understood why Zhongli was putting all his points into abnormal resistance. How much did you want to get rid of the Erosion?
After adding points, Zhongli's body suddenly glowed, followed by a long, comfortable sigh.
"How about it?"
Venti and Raiden Ei both stared at Zhongli, waiting for feedback.
"It really works!"
Zhongli answered with a smile, her joy practically overflowing.
Having received an affirmative answer, Venti immediately looked at Li Yue.
"Li Yue, can I choose the Cross Knight?"
"What, you want to be Cross Knight too?"
Li Yue looked at Venti.
"Hmm... to be honest, I really want to, but my intuition tells me that it's better to listen to your recommendation."
Li Yue took out Venti's Adventurer Card.
"Venti, your attributes are different from Zhongli's. Your strength and defense are lower than average, but your Magic Power and intelligence are much higher than average, and your luck is much higher than average. Your luck is as high as Kazuma's. Do you also rely on luck to make a living?"
"Hey~~ What's the benefit of being lucky?"
Venti couldn't help but laugh when she heard that she was lucky.
"It's probably that in some special circumstances, luck can always help achieve the best results, and you can even find an unexpected way out of a desperate situation."
Yes, that's right, it really does match my experience!
Venti nodded repeatedly, "That's exactly it!"
"Then what profession would you recommend for me?"
"Your defense stats are too low to be Cross Knight, because your base stats don't meet the requirements. Why don't you become a Thief instead?"
"Ah?"
Venti paused for a moment; the thief didn't sound like a respectable profession at all.
What are thieves good at?
"Thieves are skilled in stealth, ambushes, theft, escape, and so on."
This sounds even less like a legitimate profession and more like Treasure Hoarders from the Teyvat continent!
"Don't underestimate theft! This seemingly simple skill can forcibly steal items from an enemy from a distance! Unless the enemy has sufficient abnormal resistance, they can be completely robbed if your theft skill is high enough!"
"Oh! I didn't know that was possible!"
Venti realized they were incredibly skilled!
Venti took his adventurer card and began frantically adding points to steal.
Li Yue was speechless again, wondering which guy would fall victim to Venti's wickedness.
What about me?
Raiden Ei walked up.
Li Yue took out the card for Raiden Ei and couldn't help but frown.
"Your defense, strength, and Magic Power are all far above average, but your intelligence and luck... are a bit low. I don't know how low Aqua's luck is, but you are definitely the one with the lowest intelligence and luck I have ever seen."
Goodness, this looks like a clone of Aqua! Aqua also has low intelligence and low luck, but all her other attributes are excellent.
"Why don't you become High Priest?"
