Chapter 127: Mother Earth’s Choice, Karisan

Dark golden flames ignited in the pile of red metals, burning, refining, and melting them, and finally re-condensing at the bottom of the pit with a hint of gold.

It looks like a huge project. Looking at the fact that less than one percent of the pit wall was coated with metal, Ash knew that he had found himself a big job.

Shaking his head, Ash continued to look for the mineral vein. The tiny mineral vein that was mined yesterday was almost exhausted due to the violent mining by the second body.

Adventurer's Guild, Ash came here with today's mission certificate to submit.

After taking the half of the money that was deducted, Ash seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and saw a simple-looking man sitting in the corner, looking at him vaguely.

It was the man who put his arm around his shoulder yesterday.

When Bully saw Ash turning to look at him, he immediately lowered his head. His little brother hadn't come back yet, and it was obvious that he had kicked a tough guy.

I have to run away, Bully thought. His strength is only a dozen levels higher than his younger brother. Even his younger brother can disappear quietly, let alone him.

Kebuli wanted to escape, but someone didn't want to let him go.

Bri, who originally expected Ash to leave quickly, was just in a trance, and then came to another world, and the smiling little devil pounced on him.

"What the hell!" Bully panicked and wanted to escape, but found himself tied to a piece of wood without knowing when.

"What are you going to do, ah!"

Outside, Bully's body shook like a brush, and then fell on the wooden table in front of him with a bang.

This noise immediately attracted everyone's attention. Someone went up to check and finally came to a conclusion: "His soul has been eaten and he has become a living dead."

As soon as this conclusion was reached, the adventurers present were a little panicked and hurriedly asked their priest teammates to release divine spells. In their impression, the only ones who could devour souls were demons and undead, and these two were most restrained by priests.

Just when everyone was panicking, the culprit had already opened the door and left.

Bully thought that Ash would not attack him in public, but as his strength improved, Ash's character gradually became more unrestrained.

If you want to kill him, just kill him, no matter when, his strength can cover it anyway.

On the way home, a clone separated from Ash and headed towards somewhere.

Soon, the clone arrived in front of a tavern.

"These dark forces really like to use taverns as their bases. Can't they be a little more creative?"

Ash complained silently, then walked into the tavern.

After taking a quick look around, he set his sights on the man who was missing an ear, then walked straight up to him and sat down.

The man with the missing ear was rubbing shoulders with a waitress. When he saw someone sitting down in front of him, he glanced at them and then asked with some dissatisfaction, "What's the matter?"

"Something." Ash nodded, "I need to make money."

The man in front of me is nicknamed Yi Er, and he controls the way to enter the Manger Arena
"I don't have any way for you to make money." One Ear waved his hand in disgust.

Ash was still sitting there: "You have it, the Manger Arena."

Yi Er was slightly stunned: "So you know, but why don't you know the rules?"

As he said this, he tapped the table with his fingers and asked him to enter the Manger Arena. The rule was to give him a glass of Bloody Queen.

"I have no money, so I come to you to make money." Yaxiu said calmly.

"How can I help you make money if you don't even want to pay your tuition?" Yizier sneered.

"Does being a gladiator require tuition?" Ash tapped the table with his fingers.

"Of course, do you think being a gladiator is just about fighting and killing? The opponent's information, the odds of the bet, the arrangement of the matches, all of these are important to consider." Yi Yi said in an ear.

Ash said, "I just want you to arrange for me to be a gladiator. The rest doesn't matter."

Yi Er asked doubtfully, "Just be a gladiator?"

"Just be a gladiator." Ash nodded.

"Alright." Yi Er released his hold on the waitress's hand, "You want to die, you can't blame me."

As he said that, he pulled out a card from his pocket and threw it to Ash.

"Go find the bartender and he'll take you in."

Ash took the card and went to the counter to give it to the bartender.

Seeing that Ash was alone, the bartender couldn't help but ask, "Are you alone?"

"It's just me, what's the problem?" Ash asked.

The bartender gently reminded him, "The road inside is a bit dark. You'd better find someone who knows the way to lead you."

"No, he's dead." Ash said calmly, "Take me in."

Seeing Ash’s firm request, the bartender didn’t bother to bother with it and took Ash into a secret passage.

"Be careful." The bartender warned and left.

Ash went down the secret passage and soon arrived at an arena consisting of ten floors with a hollow center.

At the bottom, two men were fighting each other, while people around them were waving bills and cheering each other.

In the end, the stronger man on the right was the winner and chopped off the man on the left's head with a long knife. The man then carried his head around the duel arena, accepting praises or scolds.

A strong smell of blood wafted from the bottom up, but no one showed any disgust. Instead, they all looked fanatical.

Ya Xiuxing walked to a room and handed the card to the person inside: "I'm here to register as a gladiator."

The receptionist was a thin young man. He looked around Ash and asked, "Where's your manager?"

"Just me." Ash said.

The young man looked at him strangely, as if he was a fool: "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Ash nodded.

"Okay." The young man shrugged. "Code name?"

"The devil." Ash said.

"Demon? Is there such a demon?" The young man muttered to himself, and then completed the formalities for Ash.

The young man handed a piece of iron to Ash: "Your certificate, keep it. Do you want to start the competition today?"

"Yeah." Ash nodded.

"Okay, wait a moment." The young man threw a note into a tube next to him.

The note fell down the tube and landed in a large room on the bottom floor.

At this time, the large room was already filled with twenty or thirty people, who were discussing the order of the competition in order to gain the greatest benefit from it.

"Hey, guys, there's a rookie here without an agent who wants to compete. Who of you guys want to try?" A man grabbed the falling note and shouted to the others.

However, when he said this, the others fell silent. No one was a fool. A young man who dared to do things without an agent must have strong abilities, otherwise he would not dare to do such a thing.

Although you can't walk far here, who would be willing to sacrifice their own gladiators?

Seeing that no one agreed, the man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then follow the old rules. Let's move the order. Whose turn is it today?"

"I." A slightly fat middle-aged man said with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.

It's not easy to find a standard gladiator these days.

"Then you arrange it." The man handed him the note.

The middle-aged man took the note and went to make arrangements.

Soon, Ash received the news that he had been matched with an opponent.

The opponent is a semi-newbie, Jushou, who has won two games in a row.

"After another fierce fight, let's see some fighting between rookies to spice things up." The MC said on the stage, holding a megaphone, "Next, please welcome the gladiator, Giant Hand, who has won two games in a row and has shown his strength."

As he finished speaking, a man with a pair of big hands as big as a palm-leaf fan walked onto the stage. He raised his hands and shouted loudly.

"It looks like our giant hand player is in good shape today. Let's look forward to his performance next." The host looked to the other side, "Next, let's welcome our new player, Tian Mo!"

Ash walked slowly onto the stage, and his short figure immediately caused boos from the surroundings.

"It looks like our new player is a flexible player. I wonder who will win between him and our powerful and aggressive player with big hands?"

"Without further ado, let's declare the fight to begin. 3, 2, 1, start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bell rang and the giant hand immediately rushed towards Ash.

But Ash just raised his hand and shook it.

boom!
The running giant hand fell directly to the ground and slid in front of Ash in a crawling posture.

This made the audience who were about to shout suddenly fall silent, because it was too fast, and before they could finish their words, the giant hand was already dead.
"Wow, what happened? How did the Giant Hand lose so suddenly?" the MC shouted. "Can the Demon explain it?"

But Ash had no intention of giving him an answer and simply turned around and left.

The MC shrugged. "It seems that the Demon contestant is quite arrogant. But it doesn't matter. If he doesn't answer, we can do it ourselves."

The MC took out a knife like a magician, walked to the giant hand's corpse, and cut open his chest with the knife. Without feeling disgusted, he reached in and finally took out a pile of minced meat.

The MC raised his bloody hand and said:

"Look, what did we find? A pile of broken hearts. It looks like our Sky Demon just crushed the Giant Hand's heart out of thin air."

The audience on each floor also exclaimed in surprise, as this ability is quite rare.

In the large room, someone asked, "Do you have any impression of this ability?"

"It looks like magic, but it should be impossible here." An agent shook his head.

In order to avoid detection, a large number of things like magic-forbidden stones are used here. If a wizard comes to fight, he will definitely die miserably.

"That's an inherent skill." Someone said, "The most famous one for digging out hearts seems to be the Heart-stealing Demon Hand."

"How to deal with it?" someone else asked.

"It's difficult, unless you have two hearts." The speaker shook his head, "or it's too fast for him to use it."

"No wonder he doesn't want an agent. With his inherent ability, this young man's challenge level must be quite high." An agent said, "If we can't bring in such a young talent, he will be destroyed outside."

This sentence made everyone present have different thoughts.

On the other side, Ash received his reward, a total of one gold and twenty-five silver coins.

However, Ash didn't care about this little bit of money, and instead focused his attention on the new information:
{Activate achievement [King of Gladiators]: Win 100 consecutive games in gladiatorial arenas, current: 1/100}
"It's like eating too much fish."

Ash glanced at the achievement [Win 100 Battles], which also had one level higher. He hadn't completed this achievement in the academy, because after playing more than 40 games, no one was willing to play with him anymore.

The fight is instantaneous, with no sharpening effect at all. Even a battle fanatic would not want to fight with Ash.

"Do you want to continue matching?" asked the young man.

Ash nodded and said, "Help me to play a match tomorrow."

"Okay." The young man nodded, "Be careful on the road, it's best to find a companion."

The young man's last words were meaningful, but Ash seemed not to hear half of it and said, "Thank you, but no thanks."

Looking at Ash who was leaving, the young man shrugged. He could not blame him if he still did not understand even after he had reminded him so much.

If Ash didn't have a special temperament, he wouldn't even bother to remind him. After being here for so many years, he has long been accustomed to life and death.

The next day, Ash came again to the Manger Arena, and just like yesterday, he killed his opponent with the [Mind-stealing Hand].

Looking at the reward of only 16 silvers in his hand, Ash raised an eyebrow: "Why is it so little today?"

"Because there are many people betting on you to win." The young man spread his hands, "Your prize money is shared with the organizers by the losers. The money has to be deducted from the cost before it can be distributed to you."

"If I'm correct, your bonus will get smaller day by day, unless there are any unexpected events."

"Okay." Ash put the money away and turned to leave.

As for how much he wins, Ash doesn't care at all. After all, his current wealth is enough to buy the entire city.

"Come to think of it, the lavish spending is almost done."

Ash glanced at the money-spending spree and saw that the progress had reached more than 700,000.

"It will cost more than 200,000 gold coins. Is there anything I need to buy?"

Ash sorted out his current things and found that he was still missing a piece of armor. The set of clothes he was wearing was just an ordinary sixth-level clothes. It had some defense, but not much.

Inside the manor, Ya Zheng and Ye Lin were fighting with swords, and it was a serious sword fight.

Yaxiu stopped his sword intent and said to Ye Lin opposite him: "Sister Ye Lin, do you know any tailoring master?"

Ye Lin thought for a moment and said, "Master tailor? I know one. Do you want to make clothes?"

"Yes, I want to make higher-grade protective gear." Ash nodded.

"Then I'll ask and see if she's busy." Ye Lin waved her hand, a ray of moonlight condensed in her hand, and then disappeared in an instant.

In a forest, it was afternoon. In a tree house, a woman with brown hair and red eyes was knitting a doll with needle and thread, and there were all kinds of dolls around her.

Looking at the upper body of the woman, she looked normal, just a little slimmer. However, her lower body was surprisingly plump, and she had to use a chair that was twice as wide as her shoulders to barely fit her in without being crushed.

While knitting a doll, a flash of silver light caught the woman's eyes, and she looked surprised: "Damn it, how come she has time to look for me today?"

The woman pointed her hand, and the silver light suddenly turned into a piece of information. After taking a look, it was asking her if she had time to make protective gear.

The woman pouted her lips, which made her look cute with her baby face: "Stinky bunny, you really only have business to talk to me about."

Having said that, she still wrote the message with her finger and sent it back.

A flower bloomed beside Ye Lin, and then a voice came out, delicately: "Stinky rabbit, I'm free!"

Ye Lin's expression remained unchanged, and then she said to Ya Xiu, "She's free, why should we go there?"

"Tomorrow morning," said Yaxiu, then he stood up and picked up Ye Lin who was sitting opposite him, "It's your turn again today."

"Can your body handle this every day?" Ye Lin said helplessly while staying in Ya Xiu's arms.

"I have a unique skill in that area." Yaxiu bit Ye Lin's ear and said, "I will only get stronger with each battle. How can I not be able to handle it?"

"I think it's a waste if you don't become the Chosen One of Slaanesh." As her sensitive parts were attacked, Ye Lin couldn't help but bite her beautiful red lips.

"Being chosen by God is not enough. At least He has to let me sit on the seat under His butt." said Ash.

"You are so bold." Ye Lin rolled her eyes at Yaxiu.

"I still dare to think and do it." Ash said with a double meaning.

——Dry kneading and kneading——

On the second day, after feeding each other breakfast, Ye Lin carried Yaxiu and set off.

This time it’s a bit far, so I can’t rush there slowly.

Ye Lin's legs jumped slightly, and Ash felt everything suddenly become blurry.

This is not only a difference in speed, but also in space. If I have to find an adjective, Ash feels that shrinking the earth into an inch is more appropriate.

Information flashed before Ash's eyes in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Ash left his second body and clone to work in the Red Mountain Range, so the adventurer's achievement is being completed normally.

{Achievement: [Level 4 Adventurer] Achieved, Reward: Learn Skill: [Critical]}
[Critical Hit]: Activate potential and improve your concentration for a short period of time.

{Activate achievement [Level 0 Adventurer]: Complete 3/ Level missions.}
"A critical hit, explosive means?"

Ash understood some extra knowledge, and after a little experimentation, he mastered this skill.

But anyway, the improvement is almost non-existent. With [Intuition], he can do similar things even without using this skill.

"I hope this will be useful next time." Ash thought to himself.
The journey took three days.

[Level 5 Adventurer] Achievement was also achieved yesterday, rewarding learning skills. [Quick Solution]

[Quick Solution]: Consume mana and speed up the duration of all your negative states.

It is definitely a very useful skill for ordinary people, but it is better than nothing for Ash. After all, no negative state can withstand his physique and power attached to him.

Can the negative status attached to him be removed by the not-so-profound learning skill [Quick Solution]?

Ash could only classify it into the temporarily useless garbage pile. Fortunately, there was no skill bar restriction in this world, otherwise he would have a headache just to wash away these useless skills.

Ye Lin landed with Ash: "We're here."

Ash stood still and glanced around. The environment seemed pretty good, with clusters of flowers and trees arranged in an orderly manner, but the surroundings were eerily quiet, as if there was some terrifying predator here.

A rustling sound was heard, and Ash turned his head to see a woman with brown hair and red eyes falling from a round tree house.

With just one glance, Ash's eyes inevitably fell on the buttocks that were even more exaggerated than Maria's. He had only seen this kind of shape in the 3D area in his previous life, but he didn't expect to see it in person in this life.

"Little guy, it's not a good behavior to stare at a widow's butt so directly." The brown-haired woman chuckled, she noticed Ash's gaze.

"Sorry." Ash said.

"Is he the customer this time?" The brown-haired woman looked at Ye Lin, "Whose child is it that you could bring personally?"

"Mine." Ye Lin said.

"Yours?" The brown-haired woman was stunned for a moment, looked Ye Lin up and down, and smiled playfully, "Your man?"

She could see that Ye Lin had been nourished by a man.

But she thought Ye Lin would at least be shy for a moment, but she didn’t expect her to respond decisively: “Yes, my man!”

Ye Lin even deliberately emphasized the three words "my man".

Tsk, as expected of a swordsman, he is quite decisive.

Not seeing the expected reaction, the brown-haired woman couldn't help but curl her lips in boredom: "I thought you were more serious, but I didn't expect you like small ones as much as I do."

"It has nothing to do with whether he is young or not." Ye Lin said, "Okay, help him make clothes."

"Then follow me." The brown-haired woman led Ye Lin and Ya Xiu into the house.

On the way, Ye Lin secretly told Yaxiu that the woman in front of them was the chosen one of the Earth Mother, Karishan, and the most important thing was that she liked cute things, especially children.

So she specifically told Ash not to take off the mask.

She knew too well how damaging Ash's face was to Carissa, and she didn't want to share Ash with another person.

Karisan took out a measuring tape and prepared to measure Ash's body: "Take off your coat."

Ash took off his coat as he was told, and Karisan began to measure.

When the hands, shoulders, and waist reached the legs, there was a strange look in Ash's eyes, and he was being tested there.

Karisha's eyes also became a little strange because she didn't catch it.

There must be some on Ash's side, otherwise Ye Lin wouldn't look like she's been well nourished.

This kid has practiced that part specially, and he can actually control it and retract it. It seems that he has a pretty good sleeping skill.

Karisan grumbled to herself.

As for why Ash wanted to incorporate his sword into his body? In addition to reducing a weakness in battle, it was mainly because it was somewhat inconvenient in daily life, uncomfortable to hold, and the bulge was somewhat unsightly.

"Okay." Karisha put away the ruler. "What kind of clothes do you want to make? What characteristics do they require?"

Ye Lin looked at Ash, who handed two sets of drawings to Karisan.

"The first set is the combat suit I want to make, and it needs to have growth characteristics. Can you do it?" Yaxiu asked.

"It does look a bit like the clothing from the Chonglong Empire. It's a bit troublesome." Karisan looked at the blueprint, "It's even more troublesome if the growth feature is added."

"It can be done, but the price is a little expensive, one million gold coins per set, and it can only reach the seventh level initially. Is that acceptable?"

"Sure." Ash nodded without hesitation. After all, these were spoils obtained by robbing, bah, and fighting against evil, so he didn't feel bad about spending them.

Ash pointed to the second set of drawings. "These are stockings. I need them to be stretchable like in the drawings. Can you do that?"

"Stockings?" Karisan looked at the blueprint. "It's a strange thing. It looks like it can protect your legs. Do you wear it yourself?"

Ash quickly shook his head: "I won't wear it, let my woman wear it."

Although stockings were originally invented for men to wear, in his previous life, men still used them, but the vast majority of them were worn by women.

"How many pairs and what levels do you want?" asked Karisha.

"One thousand pairs, one hundred of which are level five, and the rest are level one, all with smooth properties." said Yaxiu.

Karisan nodded: "A total of 1.1 million gold coins, half of which is 550,000 as a deposit, and cash should be paid at the bank."

"Cash." Ash raised his hand, and a pile of gold coins taller than his appeared next to him.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
