Leila also wants to become beautiful.
Sister Liz is very beautiful, and the master often stares at Sister Liz's chest.
Leila wants to become like her sister Liz, and Leila will try her best.
The owner seems to care a lot about this new Pokémon that appeared in the guild. He said he won't be coming to the guild starting tomorrow and will be staying in Sunset Jungle permanently.
Although it's dangerous outside, it seems even more dangerous inside the town.
The owner also used the money he had earned in the last few days to buy a lot of equipment and skill books.
Master is working very hard, and Leila needs to work even harder too. The diary will be on hold for a while.
……
In the sunset jungle, Luo Xiu tried to turn his body to the side, preventing the goblin's claws from piercing his abdomen, but leaving two wounds on his waist armor.
He then raised the iron hammer, which gleamed with purple light, and slammed it down heavily on the goblin's head.
A flash of lightning, and the goblin's head instantly deflated, collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
It worked!
Luo Xiu plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.
It has been seven days since he killed the first goblin, and he has finally killed a goblin all by himself.
Open the panel.
Name: Luo Xiu
【Strength: 16】
[Agility: 5]
[Physique: 7]
【Magic Power: 4】
[Mental Resistance: 3]
[Note: The average score for adult males is 3. Higher scores do not necessarily correlate with higher performance.]
[Skills: Basic Healing LV. 2 (5/10) Dust Sweep LV. 1 (0/1)]
[Points available: 2]
Looking at his current attributes, Luo Xiu felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Its strength has surpassed that of the weakest second-tier berserker, and its other attributes are also above average.
Finally, I have some ability to protect myself in this world.
Looking at the two skill points remaining, Luo Xiu hesitated for a moment and did not choose to add them immediately.
There's nothing particularly in need of improvement right now, so it's better to leave it for future needs.
"Master is so amazing!!!"
Leila ran over, handed Luo Xiu a bag of water, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Luo Xiu smiled and took the water, glancing at Leila as he drank.
Leila has changed quite a bit since seven days ago.
Orcs seem to develop exceptionally quickly when they have ample nutrition.
Leila looks much healthier and cuter now, and she's even grown taller.
Even the transformation time has been increased from 15 seconds to 40 seconds.
But other places...
Luo Xiu glanced at it and sighed inwardly.
Nothing special, nothing special at all.
It seems that Leila's talent doesn't lie in this direction.
After Leila finished wiping her sweat, Luo Xiu told her to collect the goblin corpses, and then they began preparing for the next round of goblin hunting.
Now that I can kill goblins without relying on Leila's transformation, my leveling speed will definitely increase significantly.
Today's goal is five goblins!
Luo Xiu stood up, full of energy.
Leila, carrying a magic pouch, skipped and hopped to the goblin corpse, preparing to bend down and collect it.
A sharp sound broke through the air.
Leila's erect ears twitched, and she instantly became alert, quickly taking two steps back.
A white crossbow bolt grazed Leila's calf and embedded itself deeply in the ground in front of her.
Three men and one woman emerged from the bushes to the side.
The chestnut-haired man at the head of the group, dressed in standard adventurer attire and holding a crossbow, looked at Luo Xiu with a friendly smile:
"Sorry, I missed. But could you please ask your slave not to touch my prey with her filthy hands?"
Luo Xiu ignored the man's harsh words immediately and quickly walked to Leila's side. When he saw Leila's slashed trouser leg, his face darkened.
Chapter 7: In raids, prioritize eliminating the healer.
Luo Xiu doesn't consider himself a troublemaker. He prefers to avoid danger and develop steadily rather than engage in direct conflict.
But sometimes danger just comes knocking on your door, like it is now...
Luo Xiu looked at the three men and one woman opposite him and silently estimated their combat strength.
Adventurers' attire often features a stamp on the shoulder, which is a certificate issued by the Adventurers' Guild based on an assessment of the adventurer's rank.
For example, the two silver feathers on the shoulders of the chestnut-haired man holding a crossbow indicate that he is a Tier 2 hunter.
The remaining two men and one woman were a female second-tier priest, a seemingly young first-tier assassin, and a tall man whose profession was second-tier paladin.
Looking at the opposing team's setup, Luo Xiu frowned.
Putting aside the possibility that the other side has hidden strength, their apparent strength is that of a fully equipped adventurer team.
There are tanks and healers, main attackers and dribble breakers.
Moreover, he knew from Liss that priests and paladins are extremely expensive professions, and the fact that the opposing team could gather two of them at the same time meant that their economic strength was not weak either.
Economic strength also means well-equipped facilities.
This enemy is very troublesome.
The chestnut-haired man at the head of the group noticed the increased wariness in Luo Xiu's eyes and laughed loudly:
"What, are you scared after looking at our team?"
"Or are you and that orc slave beside you planning to challenge us?"
"You must have had quite a bit of effort to kill the goblins, right?"
As soon as the chestnut-haired man finished speaking, he raised his crossbow and aimed it at Luo Xiu's head.
Wisps of wind coiled and gathered around the crossbow in his hand, ready to fire at any moment.
Seeing this, Leila hurriedly stepped forward, trying to shield her master, but Luo Xiu grabbed her arm.
The serious expression on Luo Xiu's face disappeared, and he smiled at the chestnut-haired man:
"Your Excellency, this appears to be a misunderstanding. The goblin on the ground should be your prey; my servant and I simply mistook it for yours."
"How about this, as an apology, we'll dismember it for you, remove the blood, and pack it up properly, so you won't get your hands dirty."
When Leila heard her master say that, she swallowed hard and abandoned her idea of standing in front of her master.
She guessed what her master was going to do.
The chestnut-haired man opposite him frowned upon hearing Luo Xiu's words.
He is a professional adventurer from the city of Bandanda.
Luo Xiu's words made him subconsciously feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what tricks this guy, who looked to be at most a second-tier berserker, could pull.
He glanced at the young-looking Tier 1 assassin beside him.
He was a blue-haired boy with a youthful face, who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old.
Seeing the chestnut-haired man looking at him, he glanced at Leila, then tiptoed and whispered something in the chestnut-haired man's ear.
The chestnut-haired man nodded after listening.
Then, with a sinister grin, he spoke to Luo Xiu:
"Fine, we're in a good mood today, so we'll spare your worthless life. You and your slaves can dismember this goblin, pack it up, and then you can leave."
The meaning was clear: Luo Xiu could leave, but Leila had to stay.
"No problem, no problem."
Luo Xiu smiled and nodded, showing no sign of objection.
So the master and servant began the dismemberment process.
The dismemberment of goblins is not a common sight; this task is usually arranged by the guild.
This was the first time the four-person adventurer team had seen such a pair of people, and they found it quite amusing to watch the two of them bustling around doing things for them.
The female priest with long, wavy hair looked at Luo Xiu, who was drenched in sweat, licked her lips, and said:
"Why don't we leave him here too? I'm only going to play for one night."
But as soon as she finished speaking, the blue-haired boy next to her glanced at her sideways.
The female pastor trembled with fear and shut her mouth.
Two minutes later, the dismemberment was complete.
Luo Xiu and Leila each carried a pile of packaged goblin corpses toward the group of four.
Leila walked towards the blue-haired boy, while Luo Xiu smiled and walked towards the chestnut-haired man.
