Chapter 184: Chapter 166: The First Historical Example of Skipping Class to Play
Luluwo, with a frail body, was determined to enter the Sain Dungeon.
Berto and the others tried to persuade her not to, but in the end, they followed her.
"What do you think the boss wants to do?" Berto was perplexed, and so were the others.
He saw Luluwo suddenly turn into a shop selling magic scrolls halfway through.
"It’s still the captain who thinks thoroughly, our—no, our scroll reserves are indeed insufficient."
However, she just slapped some gold coins on the countertop and said, "Flower Field Magic, Repair Magic, I want them all."
Watching Luluwo walking ahead with a pile of magic scrolls, Berto felt the world was a bit surreal.
What are you doing gathering all these flowers?
When he saw a vendor selling Little Pot statues nearby, he suddenly understood something; he knew what the captain was planning, but why?
Soon, the New Strategy Group entered the Sain Dungeon, swiftly made their way through Grave Plain, and reached Warrior Pot.
The Warrior Pot was still being besieged by monsters, seemingly on the brink of destruction.
"Gah!" Chains, like venomous snakes, wrapped around a monster’s neck and brutally crushed it, quieting down the scene instantly.
Luluwo stood in front of Warrior Pot, the two staring at each other for a long while, Warrior Pot showing hesitation.
According to the rules, he should have let them through, inviting these people who rescued him into the dwelling of the pots, but...
Luluwo’s imposing appearance frightened the Warrior Pot.
She glanced at the Warrior Pot, whose body was covered in cracks with some areas leaking.
"Here."
A scroll imbued with Repair Magic was slapped onto the Warrior Pot; its cracks slowly healed, but this effect could only last for ten minutes. To truly solve the problem, Wei Pot Material was needed.
"Take this, and this, oh just take all of them." Luluwo shoved all the Repair Magic scrolls to Warrior Pot, who was completely stunned; it was the first time he received anything from an adventurer.
Gong Qiying, spying on everything from behind a crystal ball, was also amused.
Eventually, Warrior Pot opened the gate, allowing Luluwo and her group into the pot dwelling. Since these people used magic to heal him, they must be good people, right?
The dwelling of the pots was now peaceful and serene, with Little Pots circling around flowers.
Berto, heart still racing, looked around; when he saw the quiet Big Pots in the corner, he stepped back, wanting nothing to do with that place.
For others, this was a rare place of respite in the dangerous Sain Dungeon, but for the New Strategy Group, who had just died a brutal death here, the tranquility masked monstrous horrors.
Luluwo crouched beside the Little Pots, her actions catching their attention, and a few braver ones slowly approached her, their chubby bodies wobbling as if looking up at an "adult."
She hesitated a moment before reaching out to a Little Pot.
At this moment, the watching members of the New Strategy Group held their breath.
The Little Pot didn’t dodge and seemed very willing to accept Luluwo’s caress. Her fingers were long, tender, and smooth—the type the pot liked the most.
"..."
Suddenly, Luluwo showed a slight smile.
Just then, a butterfly leisurely flew by, and the Little Pot, touched by her petting, got distracted and chased after the butterfly, stumbling along the way.
"Ha ha." Luluwo laughed out loud, a normal action that made Berto’s eyes widen since the captain usually mimicked the nobility’s manners, covering her mouth even when laughing.
Her laughter brought her approachability, and the Little Pots gathered around her.
She took out a scroll inscribed with Flower Field Magic and tossed it high into the air.
Is the captain verifying the New Strategy Group’s information?
Berto filled in the blanks with his own reasoning; the possible rewards obtainable from the Warrior Pot incident included Warrior Pot shards, friendly pot, and raw meatballs among other things.
However, obtaining a Friendly Pot was inconsistent.
According to the Strategy Group, they obtained a Friendly Pot after recovering Wei Pot Material, but others who tried this method only got Warrior Pot shards.
Some tried using Flower Field Magic but failed to get a Friendly Pot, while others did nothing and just stayed here for a whole day to receive one.
People speculated that obtaining a Friendly Pot might depend on one’s attitudes and emotions towards the Warrior Pots.
One must genuinely view them as friends to receive a Friendly Pot.
"Typical of our captain, barely recovered and already finding flaws in the Strategy Group’s approach; such professionalism is simply unmatched," Berto remarked.
Mila rolled her eyes at him, saying, "I always feel like you’re imagining things in the wrong direction."
Flowers bloomed one after another, filling the air with fragrance, but Luluwo felt one scroll wasn’t enough, so she tore up two, three, and then all the scrolls.
The Little Pots were overwhelmed by the sea of flowers, at a loss in what seemed like a hell for those with pollen allergies.
But when they realized what was happening, the Little Pots danced and sang around her as if she were a descended flower deity.
Luluwo stood with hands on hips, laughing heartily.
"The captain’s gone mad!?" Berto exclaimed in terror, only to get smacked on the back of the head by Mila.
At this moment, Luluwo felt utterly content.
The Warrior Pot, whose information had led to ridicule in the guild, was the direct cause.
She wasn’t even sure why she ran here to show the Little Pots a sea of flowers at her own expense, perhaps to prove she wasn’t a bad person and could also earn the love of the Little Pots?
Or maybe to prove something else, that she wasn’t just about speeding through without caring for details.
This behavior was somewhat childish, and with no one else to see, what was the use?
But never mind that; she just needed to resolve her inner conflicts!
These days she’s been in considerable pain, reflecting deeply on her past immature actions.
Speed is essential, attention to detail is a must, and strategies need to be refined. If one exploration isn’t enough, then explore twice, three times, or even more!
Isn’t that what the store manager means by saying, "The shortest shortcut is the long way around"? It probably means that being diligent is the quickest way.
Luluwo admits that she is not the brightest, but these thoughts are enough for her.
She intends to personally go through the Warrior Pot incident thoroughly. Only by doing so, is she qualified to continue writing the strategy for the Dungeon.
Verification, attention to detail, and humility, these are the lessons she has learned.
As for Leon, who helped her, she actually woke up halfway while Leon was carrying her back to the Fire Transmission Ceremony, but given the embarrassing situation at that time, she pretended to be unconscious.
One day, I must personally visit Leon, then—
Luluwo revealed a villainous, bizarre smile, thinking to herself:
Should I kneel and apologize, or kneel and apologize, or...
Warrior Pot was bringing a tablet over, looking to assign the next task, but Luluwo waved her hand saying, "Follow me, let’s take back the Wei Pot Material!"
He was taken aback; I haven’t even assigned the task yet, how could she interrupt?
The path to the warehouse was completely blocked by Monsters, reminiscent of the enthusiastic and welcoming streets of Yarn, leaving no choice but to carve a bloody path through.
Luluwo instinctively scanned her surroundings for any shortcuts, but unfortunately, there were none.
The cries of Monsters filled the air, and the blood-soaked team of the New Strategy Group finally broke through to the warehouse entrance.
Many people often get stuck at the warehouse during the Warrior Pot incident, as not only are there many Monsters on this path, leading to a high chance of faltering in battle, but there are also Elite Monsters inside the warehouse.
So far, only a few people have successfully obtained the Wei Pot Material and exchanged it for the [Warrior Pot Fragment].
"Creak..."
The heavy warehouse door was pushed open, revealing a run-down atmosphere and a deep, beast-like growling whisper from within.
It was a Half-Wolf Monster, its clothes torn by its beastly body; it could no longer hold a pistol in its claws and instead wielded a long-axe.
[Beastified Father Gascoin], that was the name of the Monster.
Father Gascoin noticed them and immediately let out a humanoid yet beastly roar.
For some reason, there were also many gravestones inside the warehouse, which were very cumbersome in battle.
Luluwo tried to wrap a chain around one of the gravestones, but it did not budge, its hardness even greater than the gravestones used on the Grave Plain to block arrows.
What was the purpose of this arrangement?
"Be careful everyone, don’t let the gravestones hinder you."
Father Gascoin charged straight at them. His beastification had caused him to lose his reasoning, attacking in a straightforward line.
Battle was imminent, Father’s fighting style was extremely fierce, caring little for his own wounds, only seeking to rip his enemies to shreds.
Even Luluwo felt overwhelmed, her prime self could defeat the priest alone, but she was not in good shape now, making it hard for her to fight.
Go the long way, go the long way... Should she also be down-to-earth while fighting Monster?
It seemed she hadn’t fought Monsters head-on for quite some time, now doing so suddenly felt unfamiliar.
But this also quickly familiarized her with the surrounding environment and the enemy’s tactics, which overall was more beneficial than detrimental.
"Bang!"
A chain clashed against a gravestone and was repelled.
"Tsk!" Luluwo looked annoyed, but Father seized this opportunity and violently rushed forward!
She had to dodge, but—
The path was blocked by gravestones behind her, and the enemy’s giant axe was already close at hand. Luluwo quickly mobilized her chains for defense.
At this critical moment, an unexpected event occurred.
"Dang!"
The giant axe was repelled!
Bounced off by a gravestone!
"..."
Witnessing everything, Luluwo’s eyes suddenly dazzled with light, the cumbersome gravestones suddenly appeared as treasure in her eyes.
Perhaps by using these gravestones, she could—
She immediately dove into the group of gravestones, and Father Gascoin followed closely. However, his straightforward charging and broad axe swings were greatly constrained inside, even rendered completely immobile.
Luluwo, having familiarized herself with the surroundings during the previous battle, swiftly darted between the gravestones, benefiting from solid combat.
Father Gascoin, on the other hand, stepped into a deep pit, and Em seized the opportunity, turning the ground beneath him into a swamp, successfully trapping him!
With his legs bound, the only attack method Father had left was to swing his axe, but—
The gravestones bounced off his attacks!
"Dang, dang!" The sound of the axe bouncing echoed continuously in the warehouse, leaving Father’s actions extremely helpless AT this moment.
Using the terrain to trap the boss, this was the first time in Sain Dungeon that an adventurer had successfully used this method.
Watching the helpless and infuriated Father Gascoin, members of the New Strategy Group exchanged glances, all smiling.
Luluwo smiled especially brightly.
She seemed... to have accidentally found a way for lesser skilled people to defeat Father!
Can the Strategy Group do it?!
