Fang Zheng was incredibly frustrated right now.
Although his own strength, in this world, could practically be considered godlike. Just as he had told that Idiot King before, if they really pissed him off, he could easily destroy this country before The Wave even arrived.
But the problem was, it wasn't him who leveled up. It was the shield in his hand!
What was more, after running some tests, Fang Zheng speechlessly discovered that there were only two ways to gain experience points.
Either he had to bash the enemy to death with the shield, or Raphtalia and Rifana had to go up and kill them. Since the latter two seemed to have activated some kind of party system after he bought them, the three of them could all gain experience while grouped together.
So what leveled up wasn't Fang Zheng's own level, but the shield's level...
In other words, this was actually an equipment-raising game. The player's own attributes were completely meaningless...
If Fang Zheng killed with magic or the Gate of Babylon, he could certainly kill those monsters. But he would not get even a single point of experience...
That was seriously infuriating, wasn't it?
Who knew how long it would take to level up this lousy shield!
He could fight barehanded, of course, but cosplaying Kusanagi Kyo once was enough. Doing it too much would be boring. As for Yagami... Fang Zheng could only say that he was past that age.

Fang Zheng could not be bothered hanging around with three chuuni brats. Teammates as useless as pigs were better off not having.
But wait... Fighting with
