Chapter 143 A Lich Was Discovered
At noon, Shichen and everyone ate lunch together at the guild, and the main dish was various dishes made from cabbage.
I must say, the guild's chef is really skilled; the food is exceptionally delicious, though that might also be due to the ingredients.
After all, these cabbages were just jumping around in the sky a moment ago.
The guild is very lively now. All the adventurers have gained a lot, and many people stayed to celebrate. Sato and Makoto's good friend Dust and his teammates are also there.
Just now, Shi Chen saw Chris, but unfortunately she left and didn't stay to celebrate with them.
There must be something going on; Shi Chen didn't think she was afraid of him.
"Haa—beer is actually pretty good~" Aqua downed a large glass of beer in one gulp and exclaimed contentedly.
"It's really good." Shi Chen nodded.
For celebration, alcohol is a must, and surprisingly, it was quite delicious, with a strong malty flavor. As expected of another world, it was very high-quality, and it didn't taste like it had any random ingredients mixed in.
"Is the wine really that good?" Huihui asked, sipping her juice and staring at the wine glass with the time stamp on it.
"You can't drink yet." Shi Chen moved the wine glass away.
"Why?"
"You're not an adult yet."
"What's the big deal? Can I just have a sip and try it?"
"Being cute won't work. No means no. You can't drink either, and Darkness, don't get drunk."
"Yes!" Darkness nodded vigorously.
She's very obedient now, after all, she's quite content. Just now, she mindlessly rushed into the swarm of cabbages, enjoying their impact, and she couldn't have been happier.
Of course, normal people can't understand it.
"I...I know." Youyou looked away shyly after being told about the time.
"Damn it, why are you so strict?" Huihui pouted unhappily.
"We're a team, isn't it normal for us to take charge of you? Don't you want me to take charge?"
"Hmph~" Huihui gave a soft snort and did not answer, but her expression clearly indicated that she agreed.
"Hehe~" Shi Chen couldn't help but rub her little head.
Her haughty demeanor is actually quite cute.
"Sigh—" Just then, Kazuma Sato took a sip of beer, sighed, and looked listless.
"Kazuma, what's wrong?" Toki asked curiously.
"Brother Shi, this isn't the life I imagined in this other world!"
Kazuma Sato complained, "Shouldn't I be fighting the Great Demon King? How did I end up fighting cabbages?"
"But weren't you fighting very intensely just now?"
"Well... I was just a little tipsy, those cabbages were so awful," Kazuma Sato explained awkwardly.
"But it's worth ten thousand Eris."
"this....
"Kazuma."
Shi Chen said earnestly, "You need to understand that you are truly alive now, not playing a game."
Life is necessary, and there are many things to consider. Even defeating the Demon King isn't something that can be done overnight; you need to gradually grow stronger, and during that time, there are still many things you need to do.
"I know... Although I know, but..." Kazuma Sato hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.
"But what? What are you talking about? What other world? What game?" Huihui asked, frowning.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it," Shi Chen said dismissively. "You won't tell me! What's this about defeating the Demon King? You're not planning to make defeating the Demon King your goal, are you?"
"Yeah, you're scared, aren't you?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"Afraid? You're kidding! Me, afraid? I'd rather be excited!"
Huihui was extremely excited, her pupils even glowing red: "I'm going to defeat the Demon King too! I'll show him the power of my Explosion Magic!"
"Stop talking big. You probably can't even break through the Demon King's castle's protective barrier." Shi Chen pressed her head down.
"But what about you? You actually secretly learned Explosion Magic! Why didn't you tell me?" Huihui slapped his hand away and asked excitedly.
"What's the point of telling you that?"
"Hehe~ Feeling embarrassed now? Have you felt the allure of Explosion Magic? Join me on the path of explosion!"
"Just eat your food." Shi Chen flicked her forehead.
"Ouch—that hurts!"
"Time, when are we going to defeat the Demon King?" Aqua suddenly asked.
"Do you also want to fight the Demon King?"
"Yes, I still want to go back to the realm of gods."
"Isn't this world nice? There's even sparkling wine!"
"Hmm...it's nice, but I still want to go back to the realm of gods."
"Is that so? But there's no use rushing things. We have to wait until we become stronger."
That's true.

"So, another one?"
"good!"
"Why is Aqua still fantasizing about being a goddess?" Megumin asked.
"It's like you insisting on pursuing explosive magic."
"How are they the same?"
"This is my childhood dream," Shi Chen said with a serious expression.
"I see, I understand." Huihui nodded seriously.
"You think you can just fool me like that?" Sato Kazuma's expression was...
"Haha, don't worry about so much. Just enjoy this world first. Don't you want to become stronger and more popular?"
"Well..."
"So let's take it slow, let's build a home first."
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Shi."
"That's more like it. Hurry up and eat. These things can increase your experience points."
"oh!"
After lunch, Shichen prepared to take Huihui and the others to see the town's residences. This cabbage-themed operation had been very fruitful, and with the ten million that Cecily had given them before, buying a decent villa would be no problem.
Although he already had his own target, it wouldn't hurt to take a look first, just in case there's something better.
However, just as they were leaving, Luna suddenly ran over and called them back.
"Mr. Shichen, please wait a moment!"
"What's wrong, Miss Luna?"
"Just call me Luna."
"...Luna, what's wrong?"
Having been reminded by Luna so many times, Shichen could no longer ignore it.
"Hehe~"
Luna laughed happily: "In that case, I'll just call you Shichen from now on."
"That doesn't matter."
"Pfft~" Huihui, who was lying on Shichen's back, smacked her lips in annoyance.
Luna ignored them and began to explain why she had called them over: "Shichen, I just found a mission that's perfect for you guys."
"Huh? What is it?"
"Isn't Miss Aqua the High Priestess? There's a zombie maker over at the cemetery that needs to be defeated."
"Zombie maker?"
"Yes, it's a kind of evil spirit that manipulates zombies. It possesses high-quality corpses and controls several zombies as its subordinates. Recently, some people have been disturbed by it when they go to the cemetery to pay their respects... For Miss Aqua, it's very easy to deal with."
"I see. What do you say, Aqua?"
"Of course! It's our duty to deal with evil spirits!" Aqua replied earnestly.
"Alright, we'll accept this task."
"Thank you so much!"
"No, we thank you for keeping an eye on the mission for us."
"No, it's what I should do."
"No, we still want to thank you for taking such good care of us."
"No, this is what I should do..."
"No, can we leave now?" Huihui interrupted expressionlessly.
After leaving the guild, Shichen led everyone directly back to the inn, where they all went to their rooms to rest.
The task is to be done at night, since it's an evil spirit and won't appear during the day.
Shichen slept with Aqua in his arms all afternoon, and Darkness didn't come to find him, probably because he was very satisfied with being bumped by the cabbage.
When night fell and the moon rose, they set off for a hill far from the town.
The cemetery is located on the hill and is a public cemetery for the poor and destitute.
The burial method in this other world is naturally earth burial, and there is no cremation under normal circumstances, but this also makes it easy for ghosts to be born.
The cemetery at night was inexplicably frightening and eerily quiet, making one feel uneasy.
Huihui and Youyou couldn't help but hug Shichen's arms, one side flat and the other soft.
Aqua is incredibly bold.
After walking for a short while, Shichen used the thief's ability to sense enemy skills to target several enemies, but this seemed to be different from the situation with the zombie maker.
Then, a blue-white light suddenly appeared in the center of the cemetery, a light that looked both dreamlike and eerie.
The blue light was a huge circular magic circle, and next to that magic circle, a figure dressed in a black robe was clearly visible.
"That's not a zombie maker, is it?" Youyou asked uncertainly.
"I'm not sure either, should we go for it?" Darkness was eager to try.
"what!"
Just then, Akya suddenly screamed and ran straight toward the figure.
"You audacious lich, how dare you show your face in a place like this! How dare you! I'll teach you a lesson!"
