Chapter 108

"Is that the kind of job you mentioned that provides support from the rear and can even revive people?"

"That's right."

Li Yue nodded.

"Don't want!"

Raiden Ei was rejected outright.

"I am a martial artist, and I excel at fighting on the front lines."

That's right. Raiden Ei is a fierce warrior, so it would be a waste of her abnormal attributes to use her as support.

"In that case, you should become a swordsman. The superior class of swordsman, Sword Master, has additional bonuses in sword use and is very strong in terms of dashing ability."

"Good!"

Raiden Ei accepted the adventure card and became Sword Master.

Li Yue nodded in satisfaction. Finally, there was a normal person!

"Next up is Nahida, hiss—"

Li Yue gasped as she looked at Nahida's card.

"Strength, defense, and intelligence are all below average, luck is only slightly above average, but Magic Power is extremely high, just like everyone else's."

"Father, isn't this a bad thing?"

Nahida asked curiously.

"That's not necessarily true. This attribute isn't bad, but it does limit the range of professions you can specialize in. I personally recommend you go for a mage or High Priest."

"Then let me be the High Priest. I'll support everyone from the rear."

Nahida chose her profession. She wasn't particularly fond of fighting. Although Li Yue had taught her how to use Dendro element to fight, she hadn't actually engaged in a battle yet. She was still somewhat insecure about herself, so she chose to support the High Priest from the rear.

"Sure, you can change your class yourself. The High Priest's Sacred Purification can also remove negative status effects from the target, as long as you level it up high enough."

"This is good, Nahida, you order this one!"

"In terms of general rationality, this is indeed the case."

Zhongli and Venti's eyes lit up immediately, and they began to instigate Nahida.

Li Yue handed the Adventurer Card to Nahida, Nahida then began manipulating the card to change her class and frantically added points to the Sacred Purification.

Hiss— Aqua is a purified being, are you trying to break the curse and become a being?

"The rest is up to me, the Director Hu!"

After the Three Great Generals finished speaking, Hu Tao also jumped out.

"Hu Tao, your attributes—defense and strength—are slightly below average, but luck, intelligence, and Magic Power are all above average. Do you have any inclinations for a job change?"

"I don't really have any inclination to change jobs. Rather, I'll just choose whichever job is the most fun."

Hu Tao scratched her head and gave her an answer.

"I see. In our current team, I'm the adventurer, Zhongli is the Cross Knight, Ying is the Sword Master, Venti is the Thief, Nahida is the High Priest. We're still missing a ranged DPS character. An archer definitely isn't suitable for you. How about you be the mage?"

"That's right, become a magician! You are the one destined to be with the same voice as me!"

Megumin suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Hu Tao's hands.

"I am the future strongest mage of the Crimson Demon Tribe, the one who wields the Explosion Magic. You should become a mage too, and I will teach you the Explosion Magic!"

"Oh! This Explosion Magic sounds interesting. In that case, I'll choose the magician!"

Li Yue also suggested that she become a mage, and her new friends also recommended that she become a mage. Hu Tao didn't hesitate and directly chose to change her class to mage. On the spot, under Megumin's guidance, she learned the Explosion Magic and, at Megumin's urging, put all her skill points into Explosion Magic.

Li Yue witnessed the birth of yet another mage who only knew how to Explosion Magic, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

They even share the same Japanese voice actress!

"Alright!"

After Hu Tao added all the points in one go, the five newcomers had completed their initial job transition.

Looking at the group of people in front of her, Li Yue suddenly realized that they were all talented individuals!

Aside from the only normal "Raiden Ei," the rest are a Cross Knight with maxed-out abnormal resistance, a thief with maxed-out theft skills, a High Priest with maxed-out dispel skills, a mage who only knows Explosion Magic, plus myself as an adventurer—this is so relatable!

"Good heavens, Satou Kazuma myself!?"

Li Yue exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh? Senior, is there something you need?"

Kazuma heard someone call his name and curiously peeked over.

"Oh, I was just asking if Axel has any new quests lately. My adventurer party just started and I'd like to take on some quests to play around with."

"As for Axel, there have been very few requests lately. Because of that Headless Knight, the monsters around Axel City don't dare to show up at all, which has led to a significant decrease in the Adventurer's Guild's requests."

A powerful monster has a territorial effect. The arrival of the Headless Knight in Axel City had an incredibly terrifying deterrent effect on the monsters around it, causing them to not dare to show themselves at all, which made the area around Axel City much more peaceful.

"I see."

"However, there are still some high-level raiding missions available. You can check them out on the mission bulletin board over there if you'd like to do them."

"Oh, okay, thanks. I'll go check what tasks are available."

Li Yue waved to Kazuma, then went to check the task list.

But before he could take two steps, he was suddenly blocked by a blue-haired person.

"Um?"

Looking down, he saw Aqua standing in front of Li Yue with her arms crossed, staring at him with a serious expression.

"You smell familiar! And you carry the scent of my blessing!"

Oh dear! I forgot that I tricked Aqua into giving me her blessing when I came here last time. Even though it's been a long time and I even changed my clothes, she still recognized me, didn't she?

However, it doesn't matter if she recognizes me, she's just a mere Aqua!

Li Yue reached into her pocket with her right hand, ready to take out money. Having endured a period of beatings, Aqua could now be easily bribed with money.

However, before Li Yue could even take out her money, Aqua gave a completely different answer.

"You must be one of the heroes I reincarnated into this world!"

Wow—as expected of Aqua! I overestimated you!

177. The revered Goddess of Water, Lady Aqua!

"Yes, right? You're the reincarnated person I brought to this world!"

Aqua looked at Li Yue with surprise and delight, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Li Yue's eyes narrowed, then her face was full of doubt.

"Who are you..."

Aqua was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood. She changed her posture from crossing her arms to holding her arms in a more relaxed position. A pink ribbon suddenly appeared behind her, and she began to emit a faint light, making her feel peaceful and sacred.

Suddenly, Aqua transformed from a silly, goofy girl into a sacred priestess; her style change was incredibly exaggerated.

"Hero from Otherworld, I am Aqua, the Goddess of Water, and also the deity responsible for your reincarnation."

"So you really are the Goddess Aqua!"

Li Yue looked surprised, then quickly began her performance, bowing her head to Aqua.

"I thought it was just someone who was lucky enough to look like the Goddess Aqua. I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright, it's alright, it's good that you recognized me."

Aqua waved her hand slightly and spoke softly.

"Goddess Aqua, aren't you in the heavens? Why are you here?"

"Um... this."

Aqua, who had been maintaining a solemn posture, instantly lost her composure, and cold sweat began to appear on her forehead.

Aqua, watching Aqua's behavior Kazuma, sighed helplessly. As a modern person, he understood that the Senior Group Leader was just teasing Aqua, and he wondered what Aqua would do next.

Who is this person?

Hu Tao also curiously came over and asked Li Yue.

Li Yue immediately reprimanded Hu Tao with a serious expression.

"Shut up, Hu Tao! This is Aqua Goddess of Water who controls reincarnation!"

"Lady Aqua, I am very sorry. Hu Tao does not know you, so she acted rudely. Please do not take offense."

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright. An open-minded and generous Goddess wouldn't care about such trivial matters."

Aqua waved her hands repeatedly.

Ah, I haven't felt this kind of respect and admiration in so long!

Although I had met that swordsman before, who also respected me, it was a completely different feeling from this one!

"Lady Aqua, why have you come to the mortal realm? Shouldn't you be busy in the heavens?"

"Forehead..."

Aqua's expression tensed up again, and her eyes darted around.

"Well, it's like this. As a Goddess, I felt the suffering of the human world in the heavens, so I came down from the heavens to comfort the suffering people and see if I could give them some help."

"I see! As expected of the Goddess Aqua! She is truly sublime!"

Li Yue praised him with utmost respect.

"When you reincarnated me, you also bestowed some blessings upon me. Goddess Aqua is truly too sublime!"

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated, it's not that exaggerated."

Aqua began to get a little carried away.

"It is what I should do; it is what I, as the Goddess of Water embraces all things, should do."

Kazuma, watching from the side, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Aqua had been completely fooled.

"Lady Aqua, is there something you need from me?"

Now that we've identified the person, it's time to ask questions.

"Uh... cough cough—"

Aqua coughed twice to clear her throat, then extended her right hand to Li Yue.

"O hero from Otherworld who was reincarnated to defeat the Demon King, thank you so much for defeating the Demon King's Army's executives and for making an invaluable contribution to the Demon King's Army's destruction."

"This is what I should do. This is the mission that Lady Aqua gave me to come into this world!"

"That's true, but before that, hero who marches to defeat the Demon King, would you be willing to lend some money to the great Goddess Aqua?"

Aqua bowed her head and extended her right hand to Li Yue.

"Ah?"

Li Yue looked at Aqua, completely bewildered.

Aqua lowered her voice awkwardly.

"Here's the thing, my money was confiscated, so I'm short of cash lately. Could you lend me some money?"

Li Yue glanced at Kazuma not far away. Kazuma and a speechless expression. Obviously, the 500,000 yen that Li Yue had lent him had been used to pay off his debts, and he kept the rest in his own hands. After all, if he gave it to Aqua, she would drink it all away in no time.

"Is that alright? Not too much. You just got 300 million, right? You gave Kazuma 500,000. How about lending me 500,000 too? Just 500,000."

"No problem, Lady Aqua deserves to be worshipped!"

Li Yue readily agreed.

Then he quickly pulled out one-tenth of the money he had just been about to use to fool Aqua from his pocket.

"Here are five hundred thousand Eris. Please accept them."

"Very good!!"

Aqua snatched the money pouch from Li Yue's hand and then laughed happily.
