Who Would Still Be a Gigolo After Transmigrating into Coiling Dragon

It was just that they were increasingly envious of Napote and the others; had they known, they would have built a good relationship with Simon in advance. Now, trying to cozy up to him would only have the opposite effect, which would be far from ideal.

Seeing that the gazes others directed at him were filled more with awe than the previous equality and warmth, Simon felt helpless. He had wanted to continue interacting with everyone as an ordinary Midgod.

That way, everyone would be at ease.

At this moment, Tara also flew over, looked at Simon and Fanny, and said with a smile.

"With you two here, this mission has been quite easy for me. Thank you for helping me deal with Robson later. Once we reach the city, I'll treat you to a drink."

Hearing this, Simon also smiled and said to Tara.

"We are all here to execute the mission; helping each other is only natural. You don't need to take it to heart. We'll definitely drink together then."

Tara smiled happily upon hearing this.

"It's a deal, we'll drink until we drop."

Afterward, seeing that everyone had finished clearing the battlefield, Kenchi released another Metal Lifeform, this one also in the shape of a leopard. Once everyone boarded, they set off again.

Chapter 50: Progress in Laws (Part 1)

After taking stock, ten One-Star Fiends and five Two-Star Fiends had fallen in this battle, leaving a total of thirty-four Fiends remaining.

Most of the fallen Fiends had died during the bandits' first two volleys of concentrated fire.

As for the subsequent melee, very few Fiends had died; after all, they were the elite among Midgods, and their practical combat abilities were quite excellent.

Everyone soon recovered from the regret of losing their companions.

There was no helping it; the environment of Hell was like this, filled with danger at every moment. From the day they chose to become Fiends, they had been prepared to fall at any time.

Afterward, everyone began to count their respective spoils. Fanny intended to give Robson's Spatial Ring to Tara.

However, Tara refused to accept it no matter what, only taking the Spatial Ring left behind by the other Highgod who had refined a Godspark.

The other two rings left by the Highgods were distributed to Fanny and Simon.

Seeing that he could not decline, Simon accepted them.

At this moment, everyone was dripping blood to open their Spatial Rings, and from time to time, exclamations could be heard; it seemed the harvest was quite substantial.

Napote, Elno, and the others, who were on good terms, were also opening their rings. They planned to pool all their spoils together and divide them equally at the end.

This was the rule they had set from the beginning.

After all, many of the bandits had died through their coordinated efforts, making this a more reasonable distribution.

Soon, Napote and his group finished counting. In this battle, they had collected a total of 153 Spatial Rings from the Midgod bandits, though a few rings could not be opened, suggesting those bandits still had divine clones alive.

In total, the rings that could be opened contained four million Inkstones, which meant one million for each of the four of them.

As for the two Highgod rings, Napote and the others refused to participate in the distribution; after all, these were killed independently by Simon and Fanny, and they were too embarrassed to take a share. Even Hamut, who was usually a joker, insisted on this.

Seeing this, Simon did not force them. Instead, he decisively dripped blood to claim the two rings. A sweep of his divine sense revealed that Robson's ring contained nearly fifty million Inkstones, dozens of Soul Golden Beads, and various other ores and sundries.

Given Robson's strength as a Four-Star Fiend, such an accumulation was normal. As for the other ring belonging to the Highgod who had refined a Godspark, the amount of Inkstones was much smaller, only around a few million.

Fanny, as always, looked down on such small change, so Simon could only pocket them himself.

Napote was overjoyed when he received his one million Inkstones, and even after a long while, he still wore an expression of disbelief.

He had never seen so many Inkstones in his entire life!

One had to know that the reward for this mission was only forty thousand Inkstones.

Now, he had suddenly earned the equivalent of twenty-five Two-Star missions.

"Sure enough, getting rich quick depends on windfalls. When would I ever save up this much money just by doing missions? No wonder there are so many bandits in Hell; this business without capital really brings in Inkstones fast."

Napote sighed with deep emotion, thinking that all his years of hard work raising chickens couldn't compare to the harvest of a single battle.

But Napote didn't stay happy for long before Lona walked over and took away the one million Inkstones he had just received, under the guise of helping him keep them safe.

Poor Napote; he had originally borrowed sixty thousand Inkstones to buy a Thousand Illusion Fruit, and now it seemed his entire fortune would be wiped out. This was even more miserable than working those odd jobs back then.

At least the black-hearted steward had left him half, but now he wouldn't even be able to keep half of this.

Simon and the others watched from the side, finding it amusing, but they couldn't say anything, as it was their own business after all.

However, they could all see that Napote and Lona had a very good relationship, and Lona was indeed better suited to managing money.

"It's better to be single, after all. One person is so carefree and free; you can spend your Inkstones however you want. Brother Elno, don't you agree?"

Hamut looked at the two loving couples along the way and said this, putting on a brave front.

But the sourness in his tone could not be hidden.

"Haha, being single is fine, but finding true love is even better. If I, Elno, could meet someone I like, I wouldn't mind finding a partner."

Hamut felt even worse after hearing this and could only walk to the side in silence to count his Inkstones for fun.

This was also his first time earning so many Inkstones, and he felt that if he had to choose between love and Inkstones, he would definitely choose the Inkstones.

"How could a beauty be better than Inkstones?"

Hamut was currently fantasizing about reaching the next city, where he would definitely spend lavishly!

He had been in Hell for tens of thousands of years, and he had never really spent anything.

He had never been to the legendary dream paradise in Hell that was most suitable for men to relax in; he heard that the minimum spending there started at one hundred thousand Inkstone.

In the past, he only dared to imagine it, but things were different now; he could finally stand tall and go experience it for himself.

At this moment, Simon was snuggled up with Fanny in a small room formed by the Metal Lifeform.

After playing around for a while, Simon began his cultivation.

Although the battle he had just experienced ended quickly, it had provided him with significant inspiration.

Even though that yellow-haired man was a "watered-down" Highgod who had refined a Godspark, he had utilized the Profound Mystery of Dimension quite well, and the close-quarters combat had given Simon a great deal of insight.

Furthermore, Tara also cultivated the Law of Water, and from his moves, Simon had caught glimpses of the Profound Mystery of Water Ripple.

Thus, Simon immersed his mind, focusing all his efforts on comprehending the gains from this battle.

A long time passed before a flash of inspiration regarding the Profound Mystery of Water Ripple finally appeared in Simon's mind.

Based on this spark of inspiration and combined with his previous understanding of the Water Element Essence, Simon successfully mastered the Profound Mystery of Water Ripple after five days.

Now, Simon had mastered all six Profound Mysteries of the Law of Water.

Currently, his number of mastered Profound Mysteries in the Law of Water actually exceeded that of the Law of Wind, but this was of little use; after all, the boost in strength from comprehending one additional Profound Mystery was not very significant.

Simon's primary means of combat still relied on the Law of Wind and the fused Profound Mysteries, while the Law of Water was mainly used for defense.

Next, Simon's Water Element Divine Clone continued to focus on advancing the fusion progress of the Profound Mystery of Roundness and Softness, the Water Element Essence, and the Profound Mystery of Mist Illusion.

He had now reached a bottleneck in the fusion of the Profound Mystery of Roundness and Softness and the Water Element Essence, while the fusion of the Profound Mystery of Roundness and Softness and the Profound Mystery of Mist Illusion was also nearing completion.

As long as these three Profound Mysteries were successfully fused in pairs, he could attempt to fuse them as a whole, and then incorporate the Profound Mystery of Ice Sharpness as well.

As for the newly mastered Water Body Technique and the Profound Mystery of Water Ripple, Simon chose to set them aside for the time being, focusing his energy on the Profound Mysteries that were already compatible.

His Wind Element Divine Clone was now focused on fusing the Profound Mystery of Wind Space with the Profound Mystery of Wind Element Essence, the Profound Mystery of Speed, and the Profound Mystery of Slowness; the fusion progress was currently advancing steadily.

Simon estimated that it would take at least another hundred years for the Profound Mystery of Wind Space to be successfully fused with the other three, before he could attempt to fuse all four as a whole.

Indeed, the fusion of the Laws and Profound Mysteries was an extremely long process.

It was no wonder that in the original story, Magnus stated so definitively that it was impossible for a deity to reach the level of a Paragon in just three thousand years.

Simon finally understood now; after all, there was a limit to how fast one could comprehend and fuse Profound Mysteries.

He felt it was already very fast to have fused six Profound Mysteries of the Law of Wind and four of the Law of Water in three thousand years; as for becoming a Paragon...

He felt that at his current pace, even if he never encountered a major bottleneck, he couldn't even dream of it without several hundred thousand years.

Chapter 51: Progress in the Laws (Part 2)

As for Simon's original body, he tried his best to comprehend the Profound Mystery of Dimension within the Law of Wind based on the battle he had just experienced.

This Profound Mystery, which governed material attacks within the Law of Wind, would certainly be of great use in future battles.

Moreover, as his enemies grew stronger, Simon's material attacks had to improve accordingly.

Time flowed slowly like this; Simon's two Divine Clones remained in cultivation, while his original body kept Fanny company, occasionally chatting with Napote and the others, spending most of his time trying to master the Profound Mystery of Dimension.

The rest of the journey remained peaceful for another half a month; the small groups of bandits they encountered during this time were not worth mentioning.

On this day, Kenchi gathered everyone together.

"Everyone has worked hard along the way. In two days, we will arrive at Yanshan City in Fenluo Prefecture. I plan to stay in the city for a month to rest. I will sell some goods and pick up another batch, so everyone is free to move about for a month. When the time is up, we will gather outside the city gates and set off again."

"Whew~ We're finally going into the city! We must properly taste the local delicacies of Yanshan City when we get there."

Fanny cheered.

"That's a given. In every place we visit, the most distinctive thing is the local food. I've been to Yanshan City once before, and the local Rock-Foot Sheep tastes excellent after being roasted with a chef's secret recipe," Elno said. He used to travel frequently between the cities around Timbu City to refine Soul Golden Beads for those large clans, so he was very familiar with the local cuisine.

"Then we must go and try it. The food recommended by Brother Elno must be delicious. I'll treat everyone then!"

Hamut said excitedly. The Inkstone in his pocket had long been itching to be spent.

He was determined to spend lavishly this time; after all, he had one million Inkstone—he couldn't possibly spend it all.

Even Napote spoke up at this moment.

"Yanshan City surely has Hell Fire Phoenixes. I'll show everyone my skills then. Having raised this thing for so many years, my barbecue skills have been honed as well."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to have this skill. Fine, we'll watch your performance then."

Simon patted Napote on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Everyone was looking forward to Napote's craft. After all, having raised them for tens of thousands of years, his skills should have some unique qualities.

The next two days passed without encountering any bandits; clearly, the area around the city was a forbidden zone for them.

Simon was happy to enjoy the peace. Over these days, through the full comprehension of his original body, he finally succeeded in mastering the Profound Mystery of Dimension.

This was thanks to his previous realization of the importance of the Wind Element Essence within the Law of Wind.

This time, Simon had also conducted in-depth research into the various possible arrangements of the Wind Element Essence and the various morphological transformations of the elements.
