#318 - Anti-ghost killing
“Hiss—”
That hurt.
Being slapped hard would make anyone unhappy. Island Qiyangjie looked at the suddenly furious elf girl with disgust, as if the next second the slap would land on his face.
“That, that…”
“I’m sorry, Miss Elga.”
Zun Zun decisively lowered his head.
There's a limit to reasoning with women. He learned one thing from his short life: the more stubbornly you argue, the more you'll discover women's irrationality, unless you decisively lower your head and admit your mistake so she doesn't have a chance to explode.
The elf girl, who felt she had gone too far and wanted to apologize, didn't feel relieved when she saw Zun Zun decisively lower his head. Instead, she turned her head away even more angrily.
“Ah, is that so!”
She snorted heavily, then looked down at her well-endowed chest and whispered, “My chest… does it make you so resistant?”
It's not that.
Because the more you say, the more mistakes you make. This is the only way to deal with tsundere characters.
Besides, it was indeed Zun Zun's fault just now.
Island Qiyangjie couldn't help but ask curiously: “What was going on just now? Could it be because the elf canceled the magic?”
“It's Elga! Remember other people's names properly!”
“Tsk.”
He clicked his tongue in displeasure.
He really didn't want to pay too much attention to the elf girl who didn't treat him like a human.
Zun Zun shook his head and said, “It's not that, it's because of me. Generally speaking, it should be the cancellation caused by my reverse deduction of magic. You see, it's often seen in fighting games, the energy cancellation caused by projectile characters.”
“Oh oh, I know, I know!”
Island Qiyangjie looked very happy, his cheeks flushed and his expression excited. He glanced at Zun Zun and then opened his mouth.
“Street Fighter!”
“Tekken!”
— — — — — — !?
The two suddenly fell into a strange silence, their expressions not very good.
Zun Zun shouted: “Wait a minute! No matter what, it should be the classic Street Fighter, only this kind of fighting game is called orthodox!”
“What are you talking about? I don't recognize games that weren't hatched from pure Sega stock!” Island Qiyangjie retorted loudly.
The Street Fighter series of games was not produced by Sega, but by Capcom, and after becoming popular on the Famicom, it was ported to various game platforms.
To use the simple and easy-to-understand Nintendo as an analogy.
Tekken is Sega's first-party game, while Street Fighter is a third-party game released with the help of Sega MD, the difference between a biological son and an adopted son.
“You're stubborn enough.”
“Hmph, I always have been. Street Fighter-type games haven't learned the essence of Sega at all! You need to know that Sega is very powerful, not only does it have fighting games like Tekken, but it even made excellent side-scrolling beat 'em ups like Golden Axe 2…”
Zun Zun didn't expect to be lectured.
Admittedly, as a game player, he thought he knew enough about the game field, but he didn't expect to pale in comparison to Island Qiyangjie.
Of course, only limited to Sega.
He didn't care about anything else.
The elf girl, unable to intervene in the conversation, became a little anxious. She shouted unwillingly: “Wait a minute, I don't understand what you're saying, what's going on!?”
“Um… simply put, it's that I used the fairy spirit to reverse Miss Elga's magic, causing the magic to cancel out, which led to the storage magic failing just now.”
Knowing the result, you only need to reverse the process, and constantly familiarize yourself with it during the reverse process, and then eliminate the magic in a completely opposite way. If any magic can do this…
“Maybe I accidentally developed a terrifying ability.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that I can use the fairy spirit to cancel out any magic. Of course, there are very few scenarios where it can be used.”
Powerful magic cannot be canceled, and weak magic does not need to be canceled.
It's useless except for showing off.
“What, it's not a big deal skill.”
“No, I think it's very necessary.”
Island Qiyangjie had a different view. As a true game player, he immediately discovered the key to the problem.
“This ability is not only useful for yourself, but the most important thing is that it has the same effect on your companions. After all, reality is not like a game where friendly abilities are nullified. Ah, there are also games with friendly fire in Sega games, such as…!”
He started again.
Zun Zun and the elf girl looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. They felt that Island Qiyangjie had completely become a Sega obsessed person, as if he couldn't escape its control at all.
“But now that you mention it, it reminds me. It may not be useful for myself, but it is very useful for my companions. For example, next time the Magic Flame Dragon uses its breath, I can eliminate it with the same magic power, and Miss Elga won't be hurt… or something like that?”
“Y-You regard me as a companion…”
“Temporarily.”
“Temporarily… never m-mind, since you said that, then there's nothing I can do. I'll reluctantly be your companion during this time.”
I don't understand why she suddenly became tsundere.
“Okay!”
Zun Zun slapped the table, stood up, and said: “Time is of the essence, in order to test whether this theory holds true, let's go to the dungeon!”
It's still early.
If they hurry, they can return tonight. Island Qiyangjie and the elf didn't refuse, and they also wanted to try it out.
How should the result be said—
“No, I can't do it. Maybe it's because I'm good at using artifacts, and my understanding of magic is not as thorough as I imagined. It's destroyed at the moment of contact.”
The elf girl gave up first.
So far, all the strength she has shown is using the magical equipment on her body. Magic is not common—except for the elf clan's secret storage magic.
“Me too, theory is just theory after all, it's a bit too difficult to put into practice.”
Zun Zun scratched his head, he took it for granted.
Indeed, the theory holds true as long as you know the method of using magic, you can completely eliminate it, but the problem is that Xiao Hei must bear the magic and complete the analysis at an extremely fast speed.
There are two problems.
The newest and fastest novels are at 69shu.com!
Powerful magic will cause no small damage to Xiao Hei, and secondly, if the speed is not increased, the damage of the magic will be released completely, causing the embarrassing situation of enduring the damage but not canceling it out.
On the other hand—
“I don't have any problems.” Island Qiyangjie pushed his glasses and said, “As long as I ask the fairy spirits, all the magic will be eliminated without any problems.”
His expression was puzzled, as if he didn't understand why the two couldn't learn it. Instead, Zun Zun wanted to ask, why did he learn so fast?
Considering that the fairy spirits that Island Qiyangjie can hear are a collection of concepts and spirits, that is to say, they actually don't have a physical body, so they don't have to worry about enduring damage, so they can cancel out magic…
“Headache, non-human.”
“I thought he was just an ordinary beastman.”
Zun Zun and the elf girl were hit hard.
“Speaking of which.” Zun Zun played with a ring and said, “What should we do with this loot? I didn't expect it to be a ring, I thought it would be treasure or something.”
“Yes, I also thought it would be treasure.”
Island Qiyangjie echoed.
The dungeon they raided was very difficult, but the three were not ordinary people, so they came to the room where the secret treasure was hidden with some effort. When they opened it, it wasn't full of gold coins and props, but a solitary ring.
“You two… don't you know what that dungeon is, and you went to raid it!?”
“Don't know.” Ｘ２
The two spoke in unison.
After all, they are newcomers who have just been transferred to this other world, so it's understandable that they don't know.
“But this ring is one of the only 7 Tianxing stone rings in the world. It is carved from mermaid tears and coral. Its value is so high that it is almost worth a city. It is a truly priceless rare treasure.”
“How amazing!… Wait a minute, why do you know?”
“Because I also have one.”
Island Qiyangjie took out an identical ring from the storage space. According to him, it was the loot from one of the many dungeons he raided in the past month, which made people surprised by his strength.
“So I don't want the ring.”
“Is that okay?”
“It doesn't matter, this kind of thing is useless to me. Like this kind of jewelry prop, no matter how much you collect, it won't increase your attack power, so there's no need for it.”
Island Qiyangjie understands the game too much.
Zun Zun played with the ring in his hand, then put it in front of the elf girl.
“Eh?”
“I don't really need it either. If it were a material for making magic props, it would be fine, but it doesn't have any magic power, it's just an ordinary ornament, and there's no need to keep it. If Miss Elga doesn't mind, then accept it as a reward for this hard work.”
“Give it to me? Is it okay to give me the ring?”
The elf girl stared blankly at this priceless ring.
“Of course.”
This ring is priceless in this world, but it's only worth 50 yen in modern society. By the same token, it's only worth 50 Eris in Konosuba, so there's no need to keep it at all.
Instead of keeping it as waste, it's better to do a favor… Not good, Miss Elf won't misunderstand, will she?
Seeing her showing a happy smile, Zun Zun was about to explain when he heard Island Qiyangjie say: “Then it's decided, Elf, do you have 20 million?”
“Eh?”
“Looks like you don't have it, no way…”
Then he was seen taking the ring to a pawnshop, and after a fierce argument, he came back with a large bag of gold coins, and then divided it into three parts in public.
“W-Wait, how did you…”
“What's wrong? If you want something after encountering a prop, you need to spend money to buy it and divide the money among the other players. Since you can't afford the money, you sell it and divide the money equally. Isn't this a matter of course?”
What he said makes so much sense, I'm speechless!
After all, Island Qiyangjie also contributed, and he should also get his share of the reward.
But…
Looking at the elf girl foolishly holding a bag of gold coins in her hands, Zun Zun couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart.
Really, it's too miserable.
