Chapter 955 Hot Spring

Chapter 955 Hot Spring

After the concert, there was another technical exchange meeting. As a visitor from modern society, Rimuru knew that technology was the primary productive force.

However, the ‘world situation’ was different, and the research contents of the scientific researchers here were also different. Rimuru chose to manage it completely in an open manner to give full play to everyone’s imagination, so there were some surprises for her, such as one of the groups’ research on ‘where does the magic element come from’.

It is worth mentioning that the ‘magic detector’ made by Ji Xing was also on display. Even though no one except Ji Xing could explain it, it still attracted everyone’s attention.

After all, the more nobles are, the more they fear death. Some time ago, a mysterious assassin organization appeared in Western countries. In just one day, more than a dozen nobles were assassinated in many countries at the same time. Most of these nobles even died at home. There was a high probability that there were ghosts inside.

With this thing, don’t think anyone can hide their strength, and the safety value is doubled.

Well, they didn’t know that it was Ji Xing who was cleaning up those who were hostile to him.

After a day of wandering, the founding ceremony went very smoothly. The nobles discussed it when they were satisfied, and the common people who were used to taking them as a weathervane would praise it, so everyone was satisfied.

Some people went to experience the amusement facilities, some went to soak in the hot springs, and some people enjoyed the excitement of the founding ceremony and caught up with the last wave of registration to enter the underground palace. At the same time, the first batch of adventurers who entered seven days ago came out of the underground palace one after another.

"It's finally time."

Honjo Masayuki looked at the slowly opening door in front of him, feeling a little relieved, but also a little reluctant, and walked out.

At the same time, Xunlei, who entered the underground palace at the same time as him, also walked out of the room. He was wearing a single vest and looked around with a vigilant look. When he saw Masayuki, he showed joy.

"Are you okay, Master Masayuki! No, this is a useless question. How could you possibly encounter danger in a mere underground palace?"

"Well..." Masayuki responded: "There is no danger, but it is a bit boring. Although those newspapers and comics are interesting, it is still a bit monotonous to stay in the room and read them for seven days in a row."

"Hahaha, you are worthy of it. You didn't summon a few monsters to relieve your boredom? Oh no, at most, you can only provide C-level monsters for sparring. For you, it is just a matter of waving your hand, which is completely meaningless."

Masayuki was stunned: "Monsters?"

Xunlei has been talking nonstop.

Masayuki then realized that there was a button in the room to summon monsters for sparring, up to three times a day, with the highest C level and the lowest E level each time. As long as you press the button, the ground will crack after 10 minutes, and the corresponding monster will be sent in by elevator.

You can also shop in a similar way, and even buy 99% pure healing drugs, which is a sky-high price for ordinary adventurers, but it is nothing for their Masayuki team.

There are also various conveniences for practicing. Xunlei, who is hostile to the demon king, can't help but praise the arrangement here: "I never thought that this place would be a treasure land for training. It would be better if the monsters provided could be higher level. C-level monsters are only enough for me to warm up and practice skills."

I didn't know those things at all! Zhengxing was ashamed. As soon as he entered the house, he was attracted by the hotel-style layout and the bookcase in the bedroom.

There are all kinds of comics that he could only see before he crossed over, which made him, who had no interest in literature and entertainment for a year, read them happily. If he could get a video game, he could stay there for half a year.

As for the practice tools that Xunlei said, do they really exist? He didn't dare to touch them...

He followed the signboard of the underground palace all the way back to the exit. Sure enough, there were adventurers queuing up for testing at the exit, which was the last part of this competition-determining the magic difference between entering and leaving the underground palace.

Zhengxing was a little nervous. He was surprised that he had 12435 points of magic when he entered. After seven days...it shouldn't have changed, right?

Forget it, someone will always explain it to me.

Xunlei beside him was full of confidence. He said that he felt that after seven days of hard training, he had at least increased his magic power by several hundred points, which was a data that ordinary adventurers could not have in their lifetime.

And the test ahead was not unexpected.

"No. 85 Youdian, magic value 432, original magic value 421, increased by 11 points."

"No. 79 Kawen, magic value 1102, original magic value 1078, increased by 24 points."

"No. 91 Jin Chuanheng, magic value 85, original magic value 84, increased by 1 point."

After seven days of training and a guaranteed environment, most people can increase their magic power by more than ten or twenty points. There are also those who think they can become dark horses and increase their magic power by single digits or even 1 point.

No one stayed where they were.

Soon it was Masayuki and Xunlei's turn, not because they were in line, but because everyone discovered the brave man Masayuki.

"No. 77, Honjo Masayuki, magic value 13546, original magic value 12435, increased by 1111 points."

When the goblin in charge of the test read out, the surrounding area exploded. They didn't know where they heard about Masayuki's magic control, but this 1111 points is too accurate, right? !

Even Rimuru in the distance couldn't help but look at Ji Xing. Is this reasonable? Is he really a fake? If he is a fake, he shouldn't have more than a thousand magic elements in seven days! Isn't this guy also related to the empire?

"I read the comics and found that his soul adaptability as a visitor from another world has improved, plus the good luck brought by his skills." Ji Xing said: "Just think of him as having the aura of the protagonist."

"... Tsk, it's really enviable."

"You are the only one who doesn't deserve to say this."

Rimuru smiled, as if you weren't. She waited for the mad wolf Thunder to also complete the test and get the "astonishing data" that the magic value increased by 872, and asked Zhu Na next to her to invite him.

The two people who had finished registering were looking around for Bonnie and Qiu Nei. Zhu Cai went over and made gestures to get them to look over, with a strange look on her face.

Thunder means vigilance, Zhengxing means panic.

But the adventurers nearby who noticed this started to boo, "Hey, isn't that... the Demon King Rimuru who spoke at noon?!"

"The person next to you can't be a skill merchant!"

"As expected of the shining brave man, he actually asked these two to personally invite..."

As before, he was held high.

Masayuki and Xunlei could only pass by, but they heard a Japanese sentence: "Bagaya road~!"

He was startled. Before the time travel, he had never heard of Baga with such a strong Osaka flavor in real life. He looked at Ji Xing in confusion, and saw Demon King Rimuru giving Ji Xing a speechless elbow and said: " You forgot everything I wanted to say."

After a pause, she also said in Japanese: "Hello Masayuki, I am Rimuru, the reincarnation from Japan, and Ji Xing is the summoner. Come sit down at my place and let's chat."

Huh...huh? !

Honjo Masayuki looked shocked, is it true or not, the demon king and the skill merchant are both visitors from another world like me? Where did you not learn it from?

In fact, based on the frequency of his contact with Kagurazaka Yuuki, he should have at least known Rimuru's reincarnated identity, but Yuuki had his own plans and had not told him before.

The familiar Japanese finally eased his nervousness a little, so he also said in Japanese: "Sasan, I am really surprised. I wonder where my companions Bonnie and Qiu live?"

He also had his own small-mindedness and used the term "Sasan", which is commonly used by young Japanese people, instead of the normal "Private Marseille".

Rimuru smiled: "If I didn't often hang out with young people in the club, I might not be able to understand it at the age of 37."

Masayuki was startled and then breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was really an old-timer who had entered the society.

"But your companion..." Rimuru was a little vague: "Let's talk while walking."

"...Huh? Hmm."

Masayuki nodded and followed. After walking two meters, he realized something was missing. Looking back, he saw Xunlei standing there stupidly.

It's bad, he can't understand Japanese.

You don’t think that Demon King Rimuru and I are communicating in some code word, do you?

"Well... Thunder, Demon King Rimuru invited us to sit at her place."

Unexpectedly, Xunlei did not show too much hostility towards Rimuru this time. He paused and followed up, but his face still had a look of "arrogance" that disdained being associated with the Demon King.

A group of five people arrived at Rimuru's office in front of everyone's attention. Shuna exited and closed the door, leaving only four people sitting in pairs.

…

"...Bonnie and Qiu?! No, this is impossible, how could they be spies of some empire?!" Xunlei said hard to accept.

"Yes, Bonnie and the others..." Masayuki also said it was difficult to accept: "They are..."

"Are you a companion affected by your skills?" Ji Xing said with a smile: "Your skills are indeed very strong, and they are the pinnacle of unique skills, but there are some situations where people will see through you."

Masayuki's originally worried look for his companions turned pale, my skills?

"The first is that people like Rimuru and I who have ultimate skills can basically be immune to your skills. The second is that people who also have unique skills to protect their souls will discover something strange and see through you after getting along with you day and night. skills.”

Unique skill... get along day and night?

Aren’t they all Thunder, Bonnie and Qiu? !

Masayuki instantly looked at Xunlei, but saw that Xunlei had a troubled expression on his face and dodges a little. Masayuki understood immediately, and said in shock and shame, "You have discovered it a long time ago? Xunlei, then why..."

"Because that's not important to me." Xunlei said awkwardly: "Master Masayuki is the real brave man to me!"

"how do I……"

"Remember the first time we met, right? What I looked like then, and what I look like now..."

Masayuki was slightly in a daze. The first time he met Xunlei was when he was unfortunately involved in a heroic rescue of beauty when he first appeared - and Xunlei was the villain who bullied Mei.

After getting along with him for more than a year, he felt that Xunlei just looked a little fierce and acted a little recklessly, but he was actually a good person.

"If it weren't for Masayuki-sama, I would still be just a gangster who failed the B-level exam, so to me you are a hero."

Masayuki opened his mouth, not used to Xunlei's sudden emotion, but some doubts were naturally answered. For example, why Xunlei didn't suddenly get angry when Rimuru said, "Bonnie and Qiu are imperial spies" this time, not like The same attitude as before, saying that the evil devil had harmed them.

It turned out that he understood. After visiting the battle between the skill merchant and the Burning Flame Dragon, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat the Demon King.

So that means...

Bonnie and Qiu are both people with powerful and unique skills. Are they really... spies?

Masayuki felt a little depressed, feeling that there was really no need for Ji Xing and Rimuru to deceive him, but... "If they knew that I was a fake hero, why would they follow me? They wouldn't get anything. "

Rimuru rubbed his chin: "I'm also very confused about this matter. It's probably because you are a brave man on the surface, and I can participate in some incidents with you. This time, I followed you into Tempest, and I almost... Created chaos?"

Masayuki was silent, and even Xunlei had nothing to say. He had not communicated with Bonnie and Qiu in detail, but he only felt that those two people were the same as him.

"Don't be disappointed. Doesn't this have a big impact? They are just hanging around you and have no ill intentions towards you."

Rimuru smiled, stepped forward and put his arms around Masayuki's shoulders: "Don't be sad, it's not your fault. We are all visitors from another world. Let's go to the hot springs and have a good bath together. After tonight, enjoy our Tempest A special founding ceremony!”

Masayuki was stunned for a moment, his sadness was gone, and a strange blush appeared on his cheeks: "A hot spring? I haven't been there for a long time."

Xunlei snorted but didn't object.

Rimuru didn't notice anything strange until they came to the entrance of the hot spring. Masayuki Honjo blushed and asked, "Lee, Rimuru-senpai, do you also want to enter the men's bath with us?!"

Rimuru suddenly realized.

Well, he's right.

Shion, Hinata, and Shyvana should have soaked in the women's bath by now!

"Hahaha, of course not."

So Rimuru laughed and said: "I just sent you here, and then I'll ask Ji Xing to take Masayuki and the others into the men's bath!"

She turned around and left, very free and easy. Ji Xing didn't stop her, just shook her head and smiled.

Nonsense.

Come on, I'll take you there.

He took Masayuki and Xunlei into the men's bath, changed into bathrobes and found a separate private room.

After soaking in the comfortable hot spring for the first time in a long time, Masayuki sighed happily. He felt that too many things had happened today and his head was in a mess. I really want to let go of everything and have a good sleep, or I might as well go back to the underground palace and read comics.

But Ji Xing was beside him, and as a junior, he felt that he should take the initiative to talk about something.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he covered them with his hands in panic, and his whole body heated up violently.

"R-Rimuru-senpai?!"

Rimuru walked in with only a towel draped over his shoulders and said to Ji Xing with a look of resentment on his face: "When did Demon King Ruminas come? It's really..."

Ji Xing smiled and said, "Hinata went to pick her up before, didn't you hear?"

"No..." Rimuru rubbed his cheek, only feeling a dull pain there, soaked himself in the hot spring, and spit out a few bubbles regretfully.

"By the way, Ji Xing, did Chloe see Luminas when she went to the Holy Kingdom of France? Why do I seem to vaguely see Luminas rubbing the back of Chloe's child?"

Ji Xing smiled silently and rested peacefully.

There is a bit of glitches, but 4k guarantees full attendance. I took three days off this month and updated a total of 180,000+, which should be okay... Well, the updates will be slightly slower in June.
