Chapter 238： Ace who is not ashamed to ask

After Zhou Fangwu returned to the hotel, he joined the rescue work like other adventurers who were still able to move.

Originally, this kind of physical work should not be done by a hero like him. Even the hotel owner strongly asked Zhou Fangwu to take a rest.

But it didn't take much effort to defeat the monsters just now.

He didn't feel fatigued, and his mental state was also very good. The most important thing was that his trophies from the past few days were still buried below. If it was converted into Wallis, it would be quite a lot.

I was afraid that some greedy adventurers would steal away my loot, so participating in the rescue was purely incidental.

Although this is true, but with Zhou Fangwu's high EQ, of course he wouldn't say that.

This made the adventurers mistakenly think that he was really asking to join the rescue operation. The prestige among the adventurers immediately surpassed that of Finn who is a [hero].

While working with other adventurers, Refia came.

But what surprised Zhou Fangwu was that [Sword Princess] Ai Si also came together.

"That... I'm here to thank you! You saved me again, thank you very much!"

Refiya had a slight blush on her face, she seemed a little shy and embarrassed, but she still bent down very neatly, and at the same time thanked Zhou Fangwu loudly for saving her life.

"Ahaha, where is it?"

Zhou Fangwu pretended to be cheerful, telling the shy Thousand Elf not to be too nervous.

But what he didn't know at all was that it was actually because he complained about "Unlucky Fairy" before that Lefiya was so shy and embarrassed.

"If you want to say something more to thank you, forget it, your leader has been here before, so you don't have to..."

"No! This is my business, and it cannot be replaced by the leader, so I have to come to thank you."

For some reason, the shy goblin is particularly serious in this part.

With a determined expression on his face, it seemed that he had to express his gratitude and at the same time send a thank you gift.

Sure enough, Refiya said again: "I must thank Mr. Wu for saving me twice! Whether it's labor or money, as long as I can do it, please tell me!"

Hello!

Don't say such dangerous remarks!

What if I mean it, you stupid goblin!

But Zhou Fangwu knew very well that the pure Lefia didn't mean that, and what she said now was completely thoughtless, and she just said it out of her mouth in a moment of anxiety.

"Yes, yes, I understand. If necessary, I will trouble you."

He prevaricates her extremely perfunctorily.

This is the only way to deal with such a stubborn person, otherwise I don't know how long I will have to grind.

The best thing to do is to say yes and forget about it.

But Refiya said firmly: "Yes, if necessary, I will definitely give a helping hand!"

"Then, Miss [Sword Fairy] here doesn't seem to be simply accompanying and protecting, but wants to tell me something."

"Eh?"

"Why are you surprised? Just look at her expression."

Zhou Fangwu pointed to Aisi's expressionless face, and said to the stunned Refia: "That expression is obviously telling me that something happened."

"yes?"

Refiya looked at the expressionless Ais, and couldn't tell that something was wrong.

"Of course, it's all written on her face."

Zhou Fangwu was very sure, and said: "...I guess, the murderer escaped, right?"

This is a fact he knew early on.

Although Ai Si is the "Sword Princess" whose reputation resounds throughout Olalie, Zhou Fangwu, who only made a few gestures with the murderer, can be sure that she at LV5 is definitely not the murderer's opponent, even if the murderer's hand is cut off.

But the murderer absolutely didn't dare to fight, he probably tried his best to forcefully break through the blockade, and then escaped.

"Yes, I'm sorry, let the murderer escape."

Ace lowered her head and apologized softly.

"Don't apologize, you haven't done anything wrong."

Zhou Fangwu waved his hand indifferently, and said to her: "Your strength is not as good as hers, even if she breaks an arm, you can't stop her."

"..."

Ace was silent.

It may be that this sentence hit her, making her unable to say anything to refute, and in the final analysis, this was her negligence.

Regardless of the leader's arrangement, he forcibly pursued the murderer.

The most important thing is that the murderer has not been caught yet, but let her escape.

This was a big mistake.

"If I hadn't been impulsive..."

"Ah, stop and stop."

Zhou Fangwu interrupted her to continue apologizing, and frowned impatiently: "At that time, you chose to chase the enemy, while I chose to stay and hunt down monsters. This is a normal division of labor."

"But…"

"Also, even if you want to apologize and blame yourself, your partner is wrong."

Zhou Fangwu pointed at Finn who was still in command, and said, "Reprimanding you or punishing you are all tasks of your regiment leader, and have nothing to do with me as an outsider... So, don't give me a headache. Ah, Miss [Sword Fairy]."

"...Yes, I'm sorry to cause you trouble." Hearing Zhou Fangwu's words, Ai Si apologized again.

But this time it wasn't because he abandoned his team to chase after him without permission, but because he apologized for his abrupt behavior.

Zhou Fangwu still accepted this.

He asked the two of them again: "Then, what else do the two ladies have to do? If not, I will continue the rescue operation."

"I'm here to help!"

"Ah, if I may."

Miss Goblin, eager to repay her kindness, applied for the battle. Zhou Fangwu had no reason to refuse, and accepted the free labor with a smile.

"That... I have one more thing I want to ask."

Ai Si, who had always been indifferent and expressionless, had a rare look of anxiety and entanglement on her face. She said, "Excuse me, why are you so strong?"

"Um?"

"Well, I want to know why you are so strong."

Ai Si took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Even I couldn't catch that murderer, but you easily cut off one of her arms, so I want to know why you are so strong."

[Sword Princess] Aisi is undoubtedly a talented girl.

Although she rose to LV5 at a super fast speed, she has not improved her proficiency for a long time, and she is eager to know how to improve her strength.

Regarding this, she, who has asked countless strong people, is also asking someone stronger than her this time.

"Even if you say so..."

Zhou Fangwu scratched his head and didn't know how to answer her. He thought for a while and said, "I was able to cut off the murderer's arm, mostly because of a sneak attack. In fact, I can't defeat her with my real strength."

Of course, this was a lie to her.

Because it is very troublesome.

My top priority is to improve my proficiency and raise my level to LV2.

There is no time to teach her how to improve her strength.

And LV5 asked LV1 how to become stronger, which is inexplicably funny.

However, it is still possible to give her some hints.

"That, Miss [Sword Fairy]."

"Yes."

"I don't think you can improve your proficiency anymore, can you?"

"Yes, that's it."

After hearing this sentence, Aisi's face changed slightly, but she still said flatly: "I don't know why, no matter how I fight the monsters, my proficiency just doesn't change."

"It's not that there is no change, but it's not as big a leap forward as before, right."

Zhou Fangwu picked on her language problem, and then asked:

"Have you ever thought about whether it is because the strength of the monsters you are fighting is too low, so you haven't improved your proficiency.

For example, the monsters above the [10th floor] are useless now, because killing them is as simple as crushing an ant for you.

...Killing ants won't give you proficiency. "

"No, not for that reason."

Aisi shook her head, denied this guess, and explained: "Our family expedition has already gone down to [the 50th floor], but I still haven't increased my proficiency."

"…I see."

"Do you know what?"

"The [vessel] is already full."

Compared with Ai Si's eagerness, Zhou Fangwu said calmly: "Miss [Sword Fairy] must know that we adventurers have the concept of [tool]. When [tool] is full, it means No matter how much we brush up our proficiency, we can’t increase the value any more.”

Refiya suddenly interrupted and explained loudly: "Yes, I know this! It was mentioned in the novice guide that when an adventurer cannot improve his proficiency, it means that this person The critical value has been reached, and the rank can be raised at this time."

"That's right, Miss Refia!"

Zhou Fangwu also slapped his chin, affirming her erudition.

After hearing this, Ai Si looked blank, and asked blankly: "Then, what should I do?"

"It's so obvious that I haven't realized it yet. Is it because I was too anxious and messed up my thoughts?"

Zhou Fangwu sighed softly, and then said loudly: "It's time for you to get [Great Achievements], Miss [Sword Fairy]!"

"[Great achievements]..."

"That's right! Make a huge contribution, a great cause that amazes everyone and the gods!

Isn't this what you have done many times before!

In other words, you are going to fight against an [invincible] powerful enemy, Miss [Sword Fairy]! "
