Chapter 110
Hu Tao's words gave Li Yue reason to suspect that if she stayed in this world for too long, she would become like Megumin. But isn't Hu Tao casting Explosion Magic in Teyvat quite interesting?
"Although today's first expedition was somewhat tortuous, at least the result was good, and you have begun to integrate into the rhythm of this world."
"That's true. Coming into this world, we all have our own gains."
Although Zhongli suffered the most in this campaign, he strongly agreed with Li Yue's statement. Abnormal resistance could indeed reduce the effects of Erosion, and it could be continuously upgraded with enough skill points. It could even work on Demon God. This world is truly amazing.
Since Raiden Ei has already transformed his body into the Raiden Shogun, making him a puppet, he isn't worried about Erosion. Nahida is still young, and it's too early for her to withstand Erosion. Zhongli and Venti, those two old guys, are the real main force that needs to withstand Erosion. Right now, one of them can develop abnormal resistance on his own, while the other can rely on Nahida's future Sacred Purification to offset the Erosion. Their biggest gain from this trip is probably finding a way to solve the problem of Erosion affecting them.
"So, there are two more requests left. Shall we go about them?"
"Of course I'll do it! I already know how to deal with the monsters in this world."
Yi Zhongli is full of confidence. Although he was knocked away by the giant bear five times, he was never knocked away again after he learned that the mouse had a right click. As for dodging, I, the Vago Monarch, can also use it!
"I'm fine with that too. I was observing when we were dealing with the giant bear. Now, I can be an archer and provide support from the rear."
When they were fighting the giant bear, Venti was just watching the show. Actually, as a thief, he can also shoot arrows, and he already has a Skybow with him.
"In that case, let's rest for the night, wait for Hu Tao to recover, and then continue with the subjugation quest!"
"No problem!"
"Agreed!"
Raiden Ei, on the other hand, seemed rather dull, and her desire to communicate wasn't very strong.
However, Li Yue didn't force her to participate in the exchange; it was already quite good that she was willing to come out and play with everyone.
After a night's rest, Hu Tao's Magic Power was restored, and the group set off from Axel again to carry out the subjugation missions. One was Black Wolf Pack, and the other was armored crabs by the water. The Black Wolf Pack was simple; although there were dozens of wolves, they couldn't cause any trouble for Zhongli, who had learned to dodge.
Zhongli easily dodged the black wolf's pounce, then retaliated with a shot that dealt massive physical damage to the wolf, killing it. Venti also kept firing arrows from a distance, killing the black wolves one by one. Although Venti's archery skills looked terrible, the black wolves were incredibly good at catching Venti arrows, always managing to catch them at strange angles before collapsing to the ground. Even Hu Tao grabbed her Staff of Homa and charged into the wolf pack, stabbing them relentlessly.
On the contrary, in dealing with the third commission, the armored crabs by the water, these crabs, which are up to 2 meters tall, have incredibly hard shells, so Hu Tao had to step in again and use Explosion Magic to kill them. Li Yue and his group also obtained several giant crabs from the edge of the area that had been roasted by the Explosion Magic.
Compared to the first day when they were completely unaccustomed to it, they adapted much faster on the second day. Except for Nahida, who was still not very useful for the time being, Raiden Ei Yingdian, who couldn't take action, and Li Yue, who was just watching, everyone else found their own adventurer mode.
After all, Venti can't afford to be too lazy. If he keeps lagging behind in the Otherworld, he'll get kicked by Zhongli when he gets back to Teyvat!
After two days of adventure, the Teyvat adventurer party returned to Teyvat with a basket of sparkling wine they had bought from the Adventurer's Guild Hall.
They are the Three Great Generals of Liyue and the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma. They can't stay in the Otherworld forever. Even Director Hu has to go back to preside over the funeral. Two days in the Otherworld is enough!
After sending them back to Liyue, Li Yue opened a separate door and went to the world of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend.
180. He's just a friend of mine in England.
"Eriri, how did you do that? You came up with such an idea in such a short time, and even wrote it into a light novel and published it. This book is amazing! I'm going to write a long recommendation for it on my blog!"
Inside the multimedia classroom, Eriri shook her head awkwardly as she looked at Akise Tomoya, who was excitedly shouting in front of her.
"No need, it's not necessary."
"How could I not use it! Although your book has become the most popular light novel recently, there are still people who don't know that such an excellent work exists. As an otaku, I have an obligation to share such an excellent work with more people!"
Unfortunately, Akise Tomoya did not agree with Eriri's statement.
"Especially the content you wrote resonated with me deeply. Eriri, you must have understood my ideals to write such a story. Kitahara Haruki's desire to form a band with A-karing, who is inconspicuous and afraid to express herself, as the main singer, is exactly like mine! This story is so wonderful!"
"When I get home tonight, I'll write a recommendation review. Don't worry, I'll definitely show everyone all the good points of your book!"
Eriri watched helplessly Akise Tomoya talking to himself, and could only sigh and rub her forehead in frustration.
After being asked by Li Yue to submit her novel, she simply submitted it to the publishing house where Kasumigaoka worked. In any case, Kasumigaoka and she were both controlled by the same person, so they were like sisters in misfortune, and working at the same publishing house meant they had someone they knew.
I submitted it with the intention of giving up, but the publisher was overjoyed when they found out my pen name. Kashiwagi Eri is already quite well-known in the doujinshi world. A doujinshi artist suddenly turning to write light novels? Regardless of the quality of the work, the hype is absolutely off the charts.
As a result, after the publisher's promotion, the book "X" became incredibly popular. On Twitter, readers joked that they were preparing to "cross over" and "go straight." In the past few days, after the release of the first volume, its sales have surpassed those of Kasumigaoka, a professional light novel author. Most importantly, readers who originally bought the book for the hype were surprised to find that the book's start was actually quite interesting. One by one, they said on Twitter that if Kashiwagi Eri can maintain this level of success, she will have successfully crossed over into a more mainstream genre!
As a result, "White Album" successfully transformed from a gimmick book into a quality book, and its sales increased further.
Now that Akise Tomoya has recommended it, the book's sales will probably go up even further.
What kind of mess is this?!
Akise Tomoya was still talking non-stop about his understanding of "White Album," but Eriri, clutching her two golden ponytails, was no longer paying attention to what Akise Tomoya saying; all she could think about now was the Blondie.
With the first volume generating so much buzz, what's next? That Blondie will definitely come looking for me again, right? What kind of "training" will he give me next time? How should I deal with it then?
Wait a minute! No, why would I be actively seeking out Blondie to train me? I should be hoping he doesn't come!
That's right, it would be best if the Blondie had already forgotten himself; only then would it be what he wanted.
But... this book is so popular, unless Blondie doesn't use the internet, there's no way he wouldn't know about it...
Beep beep beep—
The phone suddenly rang, startling Eriri. She pulled the phone out of her pocket and her eyes widened immediately.
Seriously?! I had just thought of you and you called!
The caller ID number was saved as "Blondie," and this Blondie actually called!
"Eriri, what's wrong?"
Akise Tomoya heard Eriri's phone ringing and asked her in confusion.
Why aren't you answering your phone?
"Oh... I'll take it."
Eriri picked up the phone, got up, and walked to the classroom window.
"Moshi moshi".
"Oh, it's been a long time, Ms. Kashiwagi Eri."
Blondie Li Yue's voice came from across the street.
Have you missed me?
"Don't joke around, I... I wasn't thinking about you at all!"
"..."
On the school rooftop, Li Yue fell silent as she listened to the phone call.
???
Li Yue took the phone down and looked at it with a puzzled expression.
What the heck? Is Eriri being... tsundere?
"Hey? Why aren't you saying anything!"
Li Yue didn't reply for a moment, Eriri was getting anxious. What did that mean? Had she said something wrong?
Li Yue put the phone back to her ear, looked at the sky, and began to reply.
"Oh dear, it's because I haven't heard Kashiwagi Eri- sensei's voice for so long that I was so satisfied that I forgot to speak when I heard it again."
"Varied!"
Eriri stared in surprise.
"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want from me calling again?"
In response to Eriri's question, Li Yue raised an eyebrow and lowered her voice.
"Ms. Kashiwagi Eri, has your relationship with me become rebellious because I haven't been able to connect with you for a long time?"
"They've even started talking to me in this tone."
!!
Eriri realized what was happening and quickly lowered her voice.
"I'm very sorry, I was too arrogant."
"You... is there something you need?"
"That's more like it, Ms. Kashiwagi Eri."
Eriri looked helpless.
"Ms. Kashiwagi Eri, you should still be at school, right?"
Yes... yes.
Speaking of school, Eriri remembered the last time Li Yue came to find her, it was on the school rooftop. Could that guy be at school again now?
"There probably isn't enough time now. How about this, after school, could you come out with me for a bit?"
"Where... where are we going?"
"Of course we'll go to fun places. No need to run around, I'll stay right here at school."
Sure enough, this guy is at school!
Eriri couldn't help but look out the window, trying to find Li Yue's figure.
"I'll call you after school. See you then, Ms. Kashiwagi Eri."
After saying that, Li Yue hung up the phone. Eriri looked at her phone with a complicated expression.
"Eriri, what's going on?"
Akise Tomoya suddenly appeared, startling Eriri.
"Hey! Don't suddenly appear behind someone!"
"What happened with that phone call just now? You said you weren't thinking about it? Was it someone you know?"
Because Eriri had her back to Akise Tomoya didn't hear her very clearly.
"Yes... yes! It's someone I know! A friend from England!"
Eriri quickly came up with an excuse.
"Oh, it's Eriri, your friend from England. Speaking of Eriri, I'm currently full of inspiration because of your book. Do you have time to go see me after school this afternoon..."
"No."
Eriri refused outright.
"Well, my friend is back from England, so I need to go and greet him!"
"Oh, I see."
"Okay, I'm going back to the classroom now."
Eriri didn't continue talking to Akise Tomoya, put away her phone and left the classroom, leaving Akise Tomoya alone in the multimedia classroom scratching his head.
"Eriri's friends in England... When did Eriri go to England to make friends?"
181. Weren't you going to see your friends in England?
[Perverted Scum Man: Damn it, why did I have to run into teammates like this?!]
[So Arrogant! Huh? What is it now?]
[Perverted Scum Man: I am saddened by my unfortunate fate.]
[So Arrogant! Didn't the Senior Group Leader help with the Headless Knight before?]
[This Perverted Scum Man: It has nothing to do with the Headless Knight, it's the Goddess beside me! This stupid Goddess! The Senior Group Leader gave her 500,000, which she spent entirely on drinking. It's only been a few days, and not only has she spent all the money, she even owes 200,000 Eris! This drunken Goddess!]
[Meme Lord: The money's gone so quickly?]
On the rooftop of the Toyosaki Academy, Li Yue, who was waiting for Eriri to get out of school, saw the message in the Chat Group and couldn't help but send a message.
[Meme Lord: I gave her 500,000.]
[The Perverted Scum Man: That's right, it's that 500,000 yuan. She's spent it all and even owes 200,000 yuan! In just a few days, this guy has become arrogant and conceited as soon as he gets a little money.]
[Meme Lord: Well, there's nothing I can do about it. She's already received the money; how she uses it is her business.]
[This Perverted Scum Man: She has no problem with spending money, but the problem is, once she's in debt, she'll come and bother me. What a useless Goddess!]
In just a few words, Li Yue fully felt Satou Kazuma's resentment.
[Meme Lord: Oh well, you chose this yourself.]
And this is just the beginning. You'll suffer even more in the future. Eventually, you'll get used to dying and resurrecting. No matter how much Aqua does, what can she do? Can anything be more painful than your death?
[So Arrogant! Hahaha, so why did you choose to bring this Goddess down with you in the first place? If you had just chosen a cheat code for reincarnation, you could have lived a very comfortable life. You made the wrong choice.]
486 found Kazuma's miserable life in Otherworld laughable. In this day and age, how can there still be people who don't know how to survive in Otherworld? Nowadays, any Japanese high school student should know how to survive in Otherworld, regardless of gender. The boys become overpowered protagonists, and the girls become overpowered protagonists. Is it really that hard to succeed in Otherworld?
