Chapter 27: Since it's a trip, there must be an open-air hot spring.
Eriol was leaning on the table, closing her eyes as if resting, but in reality she was checking the rewards and making exchanges.
Just fought a fierce battle with the lone wolf, and finally got an A-level evaluation, getting 5000 reward points, permission to use Spell Chain Lightning, 3rd level Chi, and a set of Taiji Swordsmanship. Sieg's escape also took away the S-level evaluation, making Little Loli hate it so much that her teeth itched. But after all, she was not as skilled as others, if she were stronger, she wouldn't have let Granada take her place to cover herself.
But let's just forget about that random quest to rescue Jebutan...
Speaking of random tasks, Eriol had a rough idea. That is, although these random tasks are not prompted, events that occur in the stage progress of combat are generally random tasks. Just like in shooting games where bandits bury C4, that's definitely a random task and can get reward points.
Overall, the income method for reward points from large tasks should be random tasks plus final evaluation. Of course, if you can also hunt demons and beasts at the same time, then that is extra income.
Reward points are a weird thing, they seem like a lot at first glance, but after exchanging a few, you find out - they're gone? The feeling of being rich one moment and penniless the next is only experienced in casinos.
Eliya now truly felt it deeply.
5000 reward points were exchanged by Little Lori for: a full set of Flying Sword Flow techniques, which match the Double Dragon Flash; Altoria's powerful sword skills, and she also has a genuine Oath Victory Sword in her hand; The wind magic needed to drive this egg-hurting treasure sword was also exchanged by Little Lori for level 3, although she can't use any level 3 magic; A very cute suspender nightdress, of course, this is not because there's too much money to spend, but... This lingerie actually appeared in the equipment options with a straight face! And the built-in trigger holy shield technique is not mentioned, the defense power is even higher than that of ordinary enchanted iron armor——this is already very clearly put in by some lolicon on purpose; A big red butterfly hair tie, this is also obviously a decoration put in by some lolicon, with an extremely fast recovery effect on spiritual power and magic power, which is how unlimited blue comes from.
The last two pieces of equipment above are different from the system's evaluation of ordinary equipment, such as "good value for money", but instead give a sentence that makes people look away: "Cry and bleed, jump off the building to compensate for the wife, this super big sale special price product."
Are you opening a supermarket?
After exchanging the five big items, there were less than 1,000 reward points left. Although she could still exchange them for some item or skill, Eriol decided to save these reward points in case of any trouble during the trial.
After checking, she decided to open the gift package - a total of 5000 reward points given by the system when consumed - perhaps because the first time she opened it was against the sky bullet time, Eriol estimated that her good luck should have been spent at that time, so she didn't hold any hope for what came out this time.
But Xiao Loli obviously forgot that there is something in this world called "Pig's Foot Halo".
Phoenix Dance Armor, with an appearance derived from "IS", but its performance is even more powerful - or off the charts. The original shield is not mentioned, this Phoenix Dance Armor's firepower is completely BUG-level: countless floating cannons of various types for air-to-air and anti-tank, a dual missile launcher that can be used in bulk, two main guns against warships (here referring to spaceships capable of interstellar navigation), and a handheld giant weapon resembling a fire god cannon. Of course, this thing disguised as a fire god cannon is not comparable to those on Earth that consume bullets quickly and are specialized for **image**, when it is 100% powered up, it can clear out a large area of red dots on the radar screen with a single straight line, regardless of whether those red dots represent cannon fodder or mother ships. Therefore, it has a loud nickname: Portable Thunder God's Hammer.
The full screen barrage is too weak, the full screen barrage plus map artillery is the king!
The shield of Fengwu Mech is very strong, the system says it can withstand a 6th-level mage's full-force forbidden magic spell head-on - in other words, you can safely watch a super fireworks called nuclear bomb at close range while driving the mech, if you're not afraid of being blinded by those Xigolden dog eyes. Of course, corresponding to this BUG-level firepower and shield, Fengwu has no powerful close-range weapons, as long as someone or a weapon with strong close combat ability approaches Fengwu, it will be powerless to fight back.
Of course, on the premise that the other side can survive in this level of firepower strike...
Such a terrifying thing that would be able to dominate one side even if it were put into a high-tech world like Gundam, naturally has many restrictions when it appears in this backward magic world. First, Feng Wu can only use it three times a day; the interval between each use must not be less than an hour; there are no restrictions on floating guns, missiles, and even main ship cannons, but the Thunder God's Hammer can only fire once per use; finally, and most importantly, Feng Wu's combat time is only 10 minutes each time.
10 minutes... even a mass-produced Gundam's combat time is longer than yours!!
If that's the case, then so be it. At least I can use Feng Wu as my last trump card. But what made Xiao Luoli anxious to the point of almost rolling on the ground was that there was still a small paragraph of text at the end:
This mech is only suitable for female use, males, cross-dressers and Hideyoshi are not allowed to try. Additionally, the user's spiritual power must reach level 5 in order to synchronize with the main control computer, those who do not meet the requirements please do not attempt to operate to avoid danger.
Can't use it! The little loli with only 4th-level spiritual power suddenly recalled the moment before her rebirth when she was about to make out with her girlfriend H, but was told that her relatives had arrived, and felt a sense of desperation. Then, she thought that she might say the same words to a man in the future, but the first face that appeared in her mind was Li Huayin's, and she instantly went ORZ...
So ginseng is destined to be soaked in a cup, and this cup is placed on a tea table that will fall over with just one gust of wind because it's missing a leg...
Having finished her contemplation, Eliya lifted her head and gazed out the window at the scenery. The crimson Gobi Desert was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a lush green forest that delighted the senses.
The Grestrik Mountains are a series of tightly connected peaks. The trees here are evergreen, and clear mountain streams can be seen everywhere, with many small animals and lower-level magical beasts living comfortably in the area. Deep within the mountains are numerous mineral veins, the most famous being the Grestrik Mine beneath the main peak. However, it was once occupied by dwarves, so I suppose even ore scraps can't be dug out now. After the dwarves entered the underground world, a group of ratmen moved into this abandoned mine, but these timid creatures never dared to leave the cave far away and basically posed no threat, so humans didn't bother with them either.
This place has a wealth of flora and fauna, as well as mineral resources. With its pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, and lack of dangerous magical beasts, it is very suitable for tourism. The Tanzan Empire built a railway here to develop the economy. Every year, many resources and tourist revenue are generated from this place, making it an invaluable treasure trove for this impoverished empire.
"Hey, Little Aili you're awake." Li Hua, who was playing poker with a few others but had a poor record judging from the paper slips on his face, tossed his cards aside and came over, seemingly concerned, "The battle with Lone Wolf was tough earlier, huh?"
"If you hadn't thrown the cards on the table and mixed them up earlier, I would appreciate your concern instead of thinking that you're doing this to avoid punishment."
"Haha, what's with the complaints? Can't you just let it go after waking up?"
"Seeing your face makes me unable to hold back my desire to mock."
"This face of hers isn't one that's owed a slap, but rather one that makes people want to kick it just by looking at it." The chairman's additional attack.
Li Hua crouched in front of the connecting door between the train cars, silently crying and drawing circles: "Woo woo woo, so unfair..."
Sophia looked at Li Hua, who had just turned a group of beauties into a chaotic mess, and couldn't help but sigh that the world was indeed a place where one thing could bring down another. She smiled and shook her head, turning to Eriol: "By the way, do you know what the Gleyon family crest Jebutan gave you means?"
"Ah, meaning that if I were to travel to the Roland Empire, I could save a lot of traveling expenses." Eriol said with an "I'm serious" expression.
You're doing it on purpose, aren't you? You absolutely are doing it on purpose! Sophia handed over a speechless gaze with her fan half covering her face.
I'm just pretending to be stupid, what's it to you? Elisha gave her a triumphant look.
"Never mind, you've already taken it anyway, just be clear with yourself." Sophia said.
Alicia glanced at Li Hua Yin, who had already regained his color and was about to stand up, and turned her head to the side with a heavy hum in that cute nasal tone of hers: "Hmph! I, I didn't take that broken nameplate because I wanted to get close to that guy, it just happened to be handed over to me so I took it by chance! Yeah, just by chance!"
Direct hit, armor broken, plus critical strike and double damage... Li Hua's voice fell directly to the ground with a thud.
The crowd of onlookers nearby was sweating profusely, with some people thinking the air conditioner temperature had been turned up. Only Snowy, who was responsible for being cute and silly, carefully poked Li Hua Yin: "Sister Hua Yin, what's wrong? Waaaah, everyone come see! There's something strange coming out of Sister Hua Yin's mouth!"
They say that being black-bellied is used to sell cute, but I didn't expect that selling cute can also be used to be black-bellied. Sophia thought to herself.
A loud, crisp footsteps echoed from afar and drew near, then the door was suddenly opened. Kris appeared at the doorway with a chocolate bar in her mouth: "Listen up, everyone! We'll be arriving soon. When we do, this car will be the first to disembark, so pay attention to your order and don't push... Hmm, what's that thing on the floor?"
"Please don't bother me, teacher." Li Hua said in a voice as soft as a wandering thread, "My heart is already dead."
"Ah, is that so." Chris raised her head and said to the crowd, "Two men come and throw this corpse out of the car."
"Shouldn't we cover it with a cloth or something? Just leaving the body there will increase the workload of the city management! Ah, seems like I've gotten something mixed up?"
"Oh no!" Li Hua's voice suddenly jumped up, "My body is still alive and well! You can't do this."
Cris: "So who's going to cast the sacred spell? Hurry up and purify this undead creature."
Li Hua (with a crying face): "You wouldn't be doing this on purpose to tease me, would you?"
If you don't show off first, who will bully you for no reason...
Li Hua finally agreed to help maintain order when the students got off the bus, and thus escaped the predicament with Kriss's persuasion.

This is the only human settlement in the Gusterick Mountains, located in a wide valley. The town is not large and there are not many local residents. Most of the people on the streets are travelers, mercenaries, miners, merchants and tourists. Locals are basically all shopkeepers.
Unlike the grand and magnificent buildings in Reiz City, the small houses here were painted with a dull green paint, with large rough stone slabs on the ground, black iron signs for shops, horse-drawn carriages waiting to be hired by the roadside, vendors selling all sorts of strange goods everywhere, and nearby, a circle of people gathered around a minstrel singing something... The strong medieval atmosphere hit her like a ton of bricks, making Eliyha, who had never left the academy gates before and was now taking her first trip on a train, suddenly realize that she had indeed crossed over into a world completely different from Earth.
This season is the golden period for tourism, and a large number of tourists who came to their names filled every hotel room in the town. However, the reputation of Hope Garden was not blown out, and Howard had already booked a hotel for trial students from all over the world. So Eriol and others just followed Kurea and rested in the pre-booked hotel.
Provided they don't get lost...
After getting lost again and asking for directions, Eriol finally grabbed the map from Kris's hands in a frantic manner, who was already sweating profusely and didn't even have time to eat her chocolate bar.
"Kris sister, you're my real sister! The map is upside down and you didn't even realize it for so long?!"
At this moment, facing earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions with ease, leaving her alone in the midst of the 2012 disaster scene without a hint of complaint, the calm and composed Emperor Krieger... under the gaze of countless resentful eyes behind her...
Her face turned red! She actually blushed! If her brother Lawrence saw this, wouldn't he be shocked into fainting?
Looking at another style of Kris that makes people stare blankly, Xiao Loli said:
"Coach Kris, you're already so old, stop being cute..."
Then the little loli had no choice but to lead the way with a smoking red bun on her head.
After a while, they arrived at the hotel and handed over to the reception staff. Chris began to address the students in the courtyard: "Listen up, it's now 4 pm. Although we're two hours later than scheduled, it's still acceptable. You can have free time for now, but you must gather here before dinner at 6 pm. Otherwise, go sleep on the streets."
And there's another piece of good news to share with you all - this inn doesn't have a bathroom, instead it has an outdoor hot spring, so everyone will be able to take a nice bath tonight!
"Wow, great! There's an open-air hot spring!" Cecilia clapped her hands excitedly. As a rich girl, she didn't have much pretension except for loving sweets and being crazy about Fabiano, and the only other thing that remained was her demand for cleanliness.
But Cecilia soon discovered that Eliya, who was sitting next to the mercury lamp with a calm expression, now had a puzzled and divine look on her face. She couldn't help but ask strangely: "What's wrong, Eliya? Do you dislike hot springs?"
Alicia shook her head: "No, I actually like soaking in hot springs."
"Why are you making such an expression?"
Nothing much. It's just that although this trial can be considered a learning trip, and it's not wrong to have an onsen appear in a grand manner... but why do I always feel like this has been intentionally arranged? I can even imagine some guy cackling sinisterly as he types away at his keyboard, shamelessly plotting out the next part of the story in his mind.
“……”
Alicia took a deep breath, slowly exhaling as she spoke: "After the meeting is dismissed, let's get Sofia and the others together to buy something. This matter needs to be handled quickly. Also, absolutely do not let Huayin know."
"What's so urgent to buy?"
Eri smiled slightly: "A hot spring is a must-have prop for this storyline."
The taciturn and economical Mercury Lamp glanced at Little Loli and said, "What you're doing will make someone cry."
"If we don't do it this way, someone among us will cry." Little Loli retorted.
"Suit yourself. I won't be washing tonight anyway." said Shuǐyín Dēng indifferently.
"Huh? What a waste! Or are you worried about your own figure?" Elisia said with amusement, staring at her.
The mercury lamp didn't answer, she just used a very disdainful gaze to sweep the little loli's figure from top to bottom. Then the other side retreated in cold sweat.

A large group of beautiful women go shopping together without any male companions, this is absolutely more eye-catching than any carefully made advertisement. There are many people who come to chat them up, but after knowing that they are students from Hope's Academy, basically no one dares to bother them anymore. No one wants to mess with the top-notch talent academy - occasionally some blind ones get beaten up directly.
In the academy, Eliya's playful personality was revealed without reserve after being cooped up for so long. If she hadn't remembered that she wasn't alone, she would have run off somewhere already. Along the way, her figure had appeared in almost every kind of shop and stall.
Finally, the satisfied little loli held a specialty snack (Cecilia next to her was holding local desserts) and led everyone to their destination: "Look, that store in front is it."
Sophia glanced at the sign on the shop door, covering her mouth with a fan and secretly laughing: I didn't expect this little girl to come up with such a trick, tonight will really be a good show.
This group of beauties, apart from the three mentioned earlier, also includes Cecilia, Charsi, Yuege, Michelle and Granna. Among them, only the slow-witted Michelle didn't react, while the others were already sweating profusely. At this moment, Little Loli's evil image suddenly rose in everyone's eyes... perhaps it would be more suitable to replace the ellipsis with a question mark?
A group of people quickly bought the so-called "hot spring drama must-have props" and then rushed back to the hotel before 6 o'clock.
This hostel provides dormitories for the students of Hope Garden, with 12 people in each room. Unfortunately, Li Hua and Eri were in the same room.
So when the little loli pushed open the door and walked in, she had already made some mental preparations for all kinds of unlimited scenes that might appear - but apparently this time was still beyond her expectation.
Only near the door, a single bed had Li Hua's voice sitting sideways in a very elegant posture on the edge of the bed, her right hand pinching a delicate handkerchief to wipe away the tears that flowed down, her left arm wrapped around a full-body snow-white round face red-eyed short-legged QB plush toy. A pair of eyes that had obviously dripped eye drops gazed resentfully at Eriol before turning her head and speaking in a pitiful tone that could make countless men with Chinese character faces work hard for her:
"You'd better come back! Kid, let's go! Don't mind that scoundrel who took a group of beauties out for a stroll and maybe even opened the back (divine beast) palace."
The others behind Eriol seemed to be used to such scenes and were calm. However, Vachess who was drinking water inside the house suddenly spat it all out.
The little loli's complaining soul finally burst out at this time:
"Your sentence should be directed at some irresponsible man who doesn't care about his family, not a loli! And what's with saying that QB on your hand is your child? What genetic trait does that creature, which should be handled by a good zoo, share with humans?! Don't think I didn't notice you dropped eye drops earlier, that's why your eyes are red like that! And don't say 'let's go', go to hell! Do you think you're at home and going out to live in a hotel or something? This is the hotel! Finally, don't lump me together with you who wants to take over the entire girls' dormitory and turn it into a (divine beast) palace, Soul淡!"
This shameless author, if he doesn't do this kind of thing every chapter, does he plan on ending it or not!?
That's it for this chapter, I'll work even harder and be more shameless in the next one! (Eri: Hey!)
