Xiaolin just felt like a big fool.
The inherent impression, coupled with Aqua's bragging and deception, made him think that divine power was something extremely precious and rare.
However, he agreed to the request for two bottles of bubbly.
If he doesn't even give two bottles of sparkling wine, what's the difference between him and the stingy Nan Tong who doesn't even give a hundred yuan, or the readers who read books but don't collect or vote?
Isn’t that right, Daniel?
…
"Huh, charging complete."
Aqua wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead and tried hard to show that she was very tired, so that Kobayashi would feel that the two bottles of bubbly were worth it.
But seeing that she was still so silly, Xiaolin once again doubted the preciousness of divine power.
But no matter what, it’s good to be able to travel through time.
He found Sato Kazuma and explained to him that he was going to travel through time for the second time.
"Oh, are we starting the second time now?"
Sato Kazuma was no longer as excited as he was the first time. He thought for a moment and said, "Senior Kobayashi, you won't be back as soon this time as last time, right?"
"If nothing unexpected happens."
Crossing is full of uncertainties. When encountering danger, one's own safety is naturally the first priority. He couldn't guarantee that he would be able to escape back in a miserable state like last time.
This is called prudent, not following the heart.
"Then we can just stay home and relax during this time?"
“That’s exactly what I’m saying.
Satou Kazuma was relatively reliable, but Aqua and the others were pure troublemakers. Rather than having them go on missions to earn money, it would be better to have them stay home in the base and be reassuring.
"Don't worry about the money."
Kobayashi took out a deposit slip and handed it to Sato Kazuma, saying, "In addition to the 200,000 Eris currently circulating in the team, I've also saved 1,000,000 Eris at the Adventurer's Guild as an emergency fund. If anything goes wrong, Sato-kun, please use it."
"Ohhhh! I'll take it!"
Sato Kazuma didn't expect that the team had so much savings. He solemnly put it into his pocket.
Seeing the money go into someone else's pocket, Aqua couldn't accept it. She yelled, "Wait! I don't agree! Why should I give the money to Kazuma? I can also keep the team's savings!"
"You are a guy who spends money lavishly, how could I possibly give money to you." Sato Kazuma showed a look of contempt.
"Huh?! That has nothing to do with this!"
"Why is it okay? Last time you threw a tantrum and rolled on the ground crying and begging for a drink of expensive bubbly. Have you forgotten that?"
"I'm a goddess, what's wrong with drinking something nice?"
"How can there be a goddess rolling on the ground begging others to buy bubbles, you idiot!"
Sato Kazuma has no idea what it means to respect goddesses, and his personality of scolding people as soon as he opens his mouth perfectly illustrates what gender equality is.
"Xiao Lin, look at him..."
The wronged Aqua hugged Kobayashi's arm, looked up at him with tears in her eyes, as if she hoped that the team captain could teach Sato Kazuma, who bullied her, a lesson for her.
Knowing her true nature, Kobayashi naturally wouldn't say anything nice to her, but no matter what, she would still complain about being treated differently.
To deal with such people, you need to divert their attention with other rewards.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "If Aqua doesn't dwell on this anymore, how about I buy you a bottle of premium bubbly wine when I come back?"
"make a deal!"
The speed of agreeing was a bit fast.
One can't help but suspect that she pretended to be aggrieved just now just to gain sympathy so that she could drink her favorite high-end sparkling wine.
Xiaolin was a little angry.
Just as he was about to scold her and take back his promise, Aqua suddenly pulled out a blue crystal necklace from the mountain.
"Since there might be danger, take this with you as well."
"What is this?"
Lift the necklace and examine the crystals carefully.
Apart from emitting the same pure scent as Aqua's body, and a little dazzling mysterious blue light shining through under the sunlight, it is just an ordinary blue crystal.
Sato Kazuma pointed and said, "Isn't this the useless necklace I bought at the weapon shop last time?"
After hearing what he said, Xiaolin also remembered.
This necklace was exactly what Aqua had been crying and yelling about, a useless blue crystal necklace that cost 80,000 Eris.
I still remember that when Aqua said she wanted to buy it, Sato Kazuma scolded her for a long time for wasting money.
But now it is different, as can be seen from the pure elements that continue to emanate from within the crystal.
"Hehehe, it's not ordinary!"
Aqua raised her head, her nose quirked in triumph, and boasted, "Originally, it was just an ordinary blue crystal that could store magic power, but after two weeks of continuous infusion of divine power into it, it has undergone a complete transformation and has many incredible uses!"
"What's the magic?"
"Not only does it speed up mana recovery and increase your affinity for water, but most importantly, it can shield you from mental shock! Even if something unexpected happens, the blue crystal inside will save your life! I, the Water Goddess, personally crafted this item, a national treasure… no, a divine artifact!"
"hehe."
Sato Kazuma sneered disdainfully.
Blow, keep blowing.
Aqua loves to exaggerate. Even if it has all the functions, the effect will definitely not be as good as that of a divine weapon.
"Saving your life" is even more impossible.
Sato Kazuma, on the other hand, advised Kobayashi, "Don't believe her, Kobayashi-senpai! You know how unreliable the idiot goddess is. Just listen to what she says."
"Yes, I know. But it's a kind gesture from Aqua, so I accept it with gratitude."
She took the necklace and put it around her neck.
I just felt that my mind became clearer and the magic power around me became more active. The effect was very significant.
"Thank you, Aqua."
"You're welcome! Xiaolin is my precious believer, so I must treat him well! It doesn't matter, Xiaolin, no matter what setbacks and hardships you suffer, please always remember that I will always stand by you and I am your most reliable supporter."
As she spoke, she smiled beautifully, radiating the aura of a goddess.
Only at this time did she behave like a proper goddess.
Looking at the beautiful water goddess, Xiaolin's heart began to beat faster and his blood circulated faster. He had the illusion that a crystal deer was running wildly in his atrium.
Inexplicable feelings are slowly growing.
No no no!
She is Aqua!
Shaking his head quickly to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts in his mind, Xiaolin no longer wasted time and prepared to travel through time.
"I wonder if Liu Zi can come along."
The artifact ring is very powerful, but its disadvantage is that it cannot bring people with it. More precisely, it cannot bring living creatures with it.
Although Liu Zi is a mechanical puppet made of gears, she speaks, thinks, and acts like a human. The reason she was able to bring it back before was because she hadn't activated it. Now, I don't know how the ring will judge.
With a nervous heart, Kobayashi raised his right hand and pointed his index finger, then spoke slowly, as Aqua and Satou Kazuma looked at him encouragingly.
“——Travel through time!”
The next second, his figure disappeared.
