Chapter 40

It was probably nighttime...

As for why "probably" was added, an explanation is necessary. In the cave, the three of them could not accurately judge the time, and they certainly couldn't bring their phones or anything like that, so they added "probably"...

It was still the same fire, the same few pieces of roasted meat, and it was still Yugen roasting them. What was different was that Yugen now had a red handprint on his left cheek, his skin a bit dark, and the two girls were now awake, sitting by the fire, their faces red and their eyes glaring angrily at Yugen.

After roasting the meat in his hands, Yugen lifted it and offered it to Miku and Chrysanthemum. "Take it... Ouch!"

In the middle of speaking, Yugen felt the red handprint on his face burning, his mouth twitched, and he felt like crying but couldn't.

Although he knew that the two girls would certainly give him a lesson when they woke up, he didn't expect the lesson to be so "profound."

He could only say that the pre-transmigration mindset was deadly. In Yugen's subconscious, even if he saw a girl naked, she couldn't do anything to him, right? Could she really be so ruthless?

Unfortunately, he had forgotten that this was no longer the "harmonious" society he was from. The girls in the two-dimensional world wouldn't show any mercy...

However, Yugen was proud enough to have seen and touched the two girls.

Miku glared at Yugen fiercely before taking the roasted meat from his hand. Yugen chuckled and then offered it to Chrysanthemum, who snatched it away, huffed, and turned her back to him.

Yugen patted his hands in dissatisfaction and muttered, "What's the big deal, I've seen it before..."

Chrysanthemum's face turned red again, and she immediately turned to Yugen, her teeth gritted, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

Yugen quickly shrank back and raised his hands, indicating his surrender.

When Chrysanthemum no longer wanted to look at him, Yugen let out a sigh of relief and became even more determined about a certain idea.

Next time, he must summon a soft girl!...

At this moment, Miku, who was sitting there biting into the roasted meat, looked at the meat in her hand with some surprise.

This... This is too delicious...

Miku, who had never tasted Yugen's cooking before, suddenly had bright eyes and started to chew faster, forgetting the awkward feeling she had earlier.

Why did she feel awkward? It was simple: her undergarment, the safety shorts, had also been thrown away by Yugen, just like Chrysanthemum's.

Although wearing safety shorts was one of their cute traits, compared to cute panties, this trait could be discarded. Besides, Miku and Chrysanthemum already had enough cute traits...

Chrysanthemum was in a similar situation. Although she had tried Yugen's cooking before, every time she ate it, she couldn't stop.

Well... Who could blame these two girls for never getting fat no matter how much they ate? Let them enjoy it...

Yugen shook his head helplessly and quickly finished the roasted meat in his hand.

After satisfying his hunger, Yugen started to pull up the system list and clicked on the 'Equipment' option.

Now, Yugen was level 45, which was the fifth tier in the Spalier world. The Kusanagi sword, which had accompanied him for four months, was now outdated and no longer met his needs.

If the warriors of the Spalier world heard Yugen's thoughts, they would probably spit at him until he died.

After all, mass-produced equipment was what warriors and mages below the seventh tier dreamed of. In the Spalier world, equipment was incredibly precious. Even the lowest-grade mass-produced equipment required a well-qualified warrior or mage to wear it.

The so-called "well-qualified" had two criteria: family background and strength!

A good family background was easy to understand. If you had a good father who was rich, he would naturally prepare a piece of mass-produced equipment for you. Of course, it had to be from a large family, not just a local powerful clan.

Strength was even easier to understand. With strength, would you worry about not having money? Dive into the Giant Beast Forest, hunt high-level monsters for ten to fifteen days, and the money you earn would be enough to buy a piece of mass-produced equipment. As for how strong you needed to be, not much, about the same as Yugen, the fifth tier.

A fifth-tier warrior or mage could barely wear a piece of mass-produced equipment, but Yugen felt that it no longer met his needs?

How could the fifth-tier warriors and mages, who had no family background and were still using iron equipment, feel?

Well, with the system, Yugen was also in the "good family background" category, so he didn't count.

Now, Yugen planned to change his equipment and naturally wouldn't look at mass-produced equipment anymore. He wanted to change to C-grade equipment, which was rare equipment!

Rare equipment in the Spalier world could only be worn by seventh-tier or higher powerhouses, and they also had to be in the "good family background" category. For example, Fifi, and of course, Lulu, who was truly from a "good family background," had a rare piece of equipment at the fourth tier.

However, she was the only daughter of the first family of the Ailu Empire, one of the three major empires. Comparing himself to her would only make him angry.

Some poorer seventh-tier warriors or mages might not even have rare equipment, which was the main reason Yugen didn't exchange his equipment points for rare equipment in the Spalier world. Robbing the rich to help the poor wasn't illegal in the Spalier world...

But now, it was different. Although he was only at the fifth tier, with Miku, who was almost at the eighth tier, he had nothing to fear. As for the eighth-tier warriors and mages, if they didn't have rare equipment, they would be looked down upon...

He didn't have to worry about the ninth-tier powerhouses either. They would look down on a few pieces of rare equipment. At this level, who didn't have some family background? Ninth-tier powerhouses used gold equipment!

Moreover, the ninth-tier powerhouses were so rare that Yugen didn't even know if he would encounter one. He had only heard Fifi mention that the previous patriarch of her family, Lulu's grandfather, was a ninth-tier warrior!

A first family of an empire had only one ninth-tier powerhouse. Although he didn't know how many ninth-tier powerhouses there were in the Spalier world, the even stronger tenth-tier, or semi-god tier, had fewer than five in the entire Spalier world. How many ninth-tier powerhouses could there be?

So, now was the time to exchange for rare equipment!

Even Lulu, who was somewhat natural, had a piece of rare equipment. If he didn't have one, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

While the two girls were eating and watching, Yugen flipped through his system list, looking for equipment. He ignored D-grade equipment, which he no longer needed, and mainly searched for C-grade equipment. As for B-grade, he was a bit short on points...

With "Sword Mastery" and "Heavenly Dance of Chaos," Yugen naturally looked for sword-type equipment. After a few flips, his eyes lit up and he focused on one piece of equipment.

Zedan Shana (C-grade): From "Burning-Eyed Shana," the treasure of the red-haired, burning-eyed Shana; 20,000 equipment points.

This one! Not for any other reason, just because it was Shana's weapon, it had to be this one!

With a click, an ancient-looking katana and a scabbard appeared in Yugen's hand, emitting a mysterious aura that caught Miku and Chrysanthemum's attention.

The handle was black with a golden end, the guard was a square with four missing corners, hollow in the middle, connecting the handle and the blade. The blade was bright silver, much more lustrous than the Kusanagi sword.

As for the scabbard in Yugen's other hand, it was completely black.

Yugen nodded in satisfaction. He was quite adept at using this type of katana, which could be both a sword and a blade. The blade was relatively thin and easy to control, though it was harder to hit, it was light and convenient.

Yugen tightened his grip on the sword and swung it forcefully, the bright silver blade flashing in the air. He practiced a few swings and then sheathed the sword.

"New weapon?" Chrysanthemum looked curiously at the Zedan Shana in Yugen's hand. After all, she was also a sword expert and had a preference for such weapons.

"Yes, after today's battle, my strength has increased significantly, so it's inevitable to exchange for a more powerful weapon!" Yugen put the Zedan Shana into his spatial ring and said to Chrysanthemum.

Miku nodded and then asked, "Aren't you going to exchange for some defensive equipment?"

Yugen was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then pulled up the system list again.

Miku had a point. In today's battle against the monster army, if he had decent defensive equipment, it would have saved a lot of effort and extended the use of "Senzu Beans."

Of course, Yugen didn't like wearing heavy armor, as it didn't fit his style. So, he looked at the system list with a somewhat indifferent attitude.

However, he did find something suitable!

Nenryu Armor (C-grade): Intangible, weightless, existing as a concept. When the wearer is attacked, an invisible dragon-shaped armor instantly appears, completely immune to attacks below level 50 and reducing attacks below level 60; 30,000 equipment points.

Yugen was delighted. Intangible? Weightless? That was perfect. He wouldn't have to carry heavy armor around, and he wouldn't have to worry about the weight.

He immediately selected it, and a beam of light shot from the system list into Yugen's forehead. At the same time, Yugen felt a floating dragon-shaped armor in his mind. This was the Nenryu Armor, which would only appear when he was attacked to protect him.

Although he only had 1,000 equipment points left after exchanging for two C-grade items, Yugen was very happy, though a bit regretful.

He said regretfully, "Miku, if I had more equipment points, I would exchange one for you..."

Miku waved her hand casually. "No need, I don't need any equipment, my superpowers are enough!"

"That won't do..." Yugen said unhappily. "What if we encounter real powerhouses in the Spalier world in the future?"

Chrysanthemum, who had been listening, suddenly looked up and said, "Yugen, are you leaving this world?"

Yugen and Miku both choked on their saliva. Yugen looked at Chrysanthemum with a bad temper. "What do you mean by 'leaving this world'? We're not dead yet..."

"I know that's not what you meant!" Chrysanthemum shouted, a bit agitated.

Yugen smiled and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Don't worry, when we go there, I'll summon you. Of course, at that time, our lives will be fused together. If I die, you won't survive either..."

Chrysanthemum finally smiled happily. "Then, let me protect you!"

Yugen was taken aback and then felt speechless.

Is this a declaration to be a kept man?...
