Chapter 271: The Hero Dragged Me Into the Thatched Hut Against My Will, Leaving Me Weak

Five days passed.

Rin didn’t know how he got through these five days.

During the day, he trained fiercely in combat, then strengthened his magic with kisses, and learned spells with Angela during breaks before and after meals. At night, he was pulled by the unexpectedly energetic waste hero to take tests.

No matter what Rin tried, like using kisses to regain magic, he had only taken the test once and needed to adjust. He was too tired from training during the day and only wanted to sleep at night, but all these excuses were useless.

In the end, he faced the outcome of being dragged into the exam room.

He woke up earlier than a rooster and slept less than a dog; this was Rin’s life now.

This was simply a punishment no one should endure!

Rin even began to suspect that this hero cat was going through a phase.

Of course, going through all this every day not only raises his experience level, but also allows him to earn a lot of achievement points each day.

After all, most of the time in the beginning and later, he was quite resistant, being on the side of the mount, and only in the middle phase did he get into the flow, not able to take much damage, while gaining quite a bit.

If you want to know how he managed to keep going.

Speaking of that, he has to thank the Points Mall.

Since the second day when he was bored and opened the Points Mall, he found something called Energy Potion inside, which made Rin think much better of the garbage system.

Although most of it is still useless items, ranging from pranks to dirty tricks, which are all villainous low-level items.

After enduring until the seventh day, these hellish days of suffering finally came to an end.

What was even more torturous was that despite all his hard work, acting both as a power bank and the main force, he had only just reached the edge of level 18, almost breaking through.

But what about the waste hero? Today he has already reached level 20.

Rin was far behind, so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed the cheater both to their face and behind their back.

Once you reach level 20, experience will drop sharply, and the strength requirement will rise greatly.

At the current level, even if the hero gets a boost in experience, it will be very hard to level up due to the heavy reduction in experience.

However, Angela was quite pleased with such an outcome.

"Well, now we have completely achieved the expected result. Hey, what’s with that serious face of yours?"

At this moment, Angela was calling Rin and Emilia for the final summary of their devil training.

Seeing Rin with his eyes rolled and looking unwilling and a bit sulky, she couldn’t help but laugh.

"Silly boy, that’s a hero! The strongest warrior in the world will naturally level up quickly. You’re about to reach level 18, making you one of the top few people I know; at least Meteor Sword Saint fell a little short compared to you back in the day."

"Besides, isn’t Emilia your little girlfriend? Why would you be jealous of your own partner?"

"I am not jealous!"

Rin turned his head and argued, "This guy’s promotion is built on my suffering, do you understand?"

"? Huh?"

Angela realized what was happening and immediately got angry. Using her height advantage, she gave Rin a head tap.

"How could I be the one in pain! Every night I have to pretend to go out and meet friends to give you two space, while I hide behind the island, feeling the cold wind. And still, I get woken up! Why don’t you talk about your pain when you’re happy, you worthless man, so young and already so terrible, I wish you’d fail a hundred times!"

Rin, who had felt wronged, now heard that he was probably overheard and got very angry, confronting Angela immediately.

Waste Hero looked left and right, thinking it had nothing to do with him, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and yawned.

After completing the first phase of her goal, she had kept her excitement with determination, but it began to fade. Now she felt just as tired and exhausted.

The two of them went back and forth with sarcastic remarks for a long time, and finally, Rin’s comment, "Old woman doesn’t know anything about exams," broke through Angela’s defense, and she unleashed a huge explosion of anger.

The Explosive Inflammation Art was thrown into the sea, instantly creating a water column as high as a mushroom cloud, accompanied by a small tsunami that almost flooded the island.

When the waves receded, Rin was soaking wet and shivering a bit, looking at the houses that had been destroyed behind him, feeling a sense of fear.

In front of absolute power, words are completely useless.

Unless that person loves you very much or is afraid of their boss and dares not act.

"Hmph."

Angela snorted coldly, "You little brat, if you talk nonsense again, no matter how many lovers you have, I will turn your tongue into grilled beef tongue."

"Ahem, I was rude just now."

Rin immediately made a noble apology, showing a gentle smile, "I didn’t know the teacher also had training."

Angela felt very satisfied and cleared her throat, "In any case, this training ends successfully. Next, you all should rest well for one night… Hmm, rest, but don’t have any exams or anything, I also want to sleep well, don’t take advantage of your youth and be reckless. So, this is it for now; tomorrow morning I will take you to the Cloud Sea Secret Realm."

Waste Hero opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of seawater, looking dazed, not knowing if he heard anything.

Rin quickly asked, "You promised us the strategy for the trials, don’t forget."

"I won’t forget, let’s talk about it tomorrow, um… this house."

Angela looked at the memories that had been washed away and shrugged, "Let’s sleep in a tent tonight, and just one last warning, make sure to get a good night’s sleep!"

However, it was clear that her worries tonight were unnecessary.

For Miss Hero, training was something she found almost as annoying as fish.

It was just that she realized that taking the exam with Rin allowed her to quickly regain her magic power and pleasantly forget the tiredness of the day, which made her insist on it.

Now it was time to take a break, as both her energy and stamina had reached their limits and she desperately needed a good rest.

So after Angela dealt with the Shadow Monster attracted by the magic, when she passed the two tents, it was already silent inside, with only the sound of steady breathing.

He slept from the afternoon until the next morning.

Rin was a bit confused, stretched his arms, and gently patted the waste hero who was still holding on to him.

"Lazy cat, wake up."

Emilia’s light blue eyelashes fluttered as she tried hard to open her eyes but failed and quickly fell back asleep.

Seeing how tired she was, Rin teasingly said, "You insisted on dragging me into studying the other night instead of resting, and now you’re lying in bed like a dead cat. Tsk, tsk, you deserve it."

"Mmm, meow."

Emilia let out a small mumble in her sleep and nuzzled against Rin’s arm.

"Alright, sleepyhead, I’ll give you some time to sleep a bit longer."

Pulling his arm out from the hero’s embrace, Rin gave her a look of disgust as he tucked her in, then changed his clothes and unzipped the tent.

It was still a gray and misty day, with a quiet atmosphere, but after getting enough sleep, I felt refreshed.

Well, now Rin is recovering more and more quickly.

He looked around and did not see Angela. Rin did not mind; after washing up, he went to the temporary kitchen and started making breakfast.

When he finished making breakfast, Angela smelled the food and came walking over from the beach.

When she saw three plates of breakfast on the table, her face lit up with joy.

"Not bad, good kid, I see you have some thoughtfulness."

At that moment, the waste hero also smelled the food and crawled out of the tent, stretching her paws in front of her chest while rubbing her eyes, drifting over like a ghost.

The hem of her clothes was lifted by her arms, revealing a long, delicate, and pretty waist.

Rin made a serious face and quickly took her paws out of her clothes.

"What do you look like! Change your clothes properly before coming out! Isn’t it embarrassing? If you keep this up, I’ll chop off your claws."

"Tundere, good morning, meow."

Emilia was not moved at all. She jumped up and clung to Rin like a koala, wrapping her arms and legs around him, resting her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed.

Rin instinctively held her tighter to keep her from falling.

They were both about the same height and build, and their position looked very amusing, making Angela laugh happily.

Rin glanced at Angela but said nothing, simply returning to the tent with a koala-like Emilia hanging on him.

When he appeared again, he was holding a half-asleep hero who was already dressed.

"I really must have owed you in my past life! You keep asking for a daughter every day. Who will take care of whom in the future? Taking care of you is more exhausting than raising a daughter."

While complaining, Rin dragged the waste hero towards the creek.

As he passed the dining table, the waste hero’s steps instinctively stopped.

"I’m hungry, let’s eat first."

"No, you need to wash up before you can eat."

"It will get cold, and if it’s cold, it won’t taste good."

"Just warm it up."

Ignoring the objections, Rin dragged the not-so-cooperative waste hero away.

Angela watched the daily routine that was almost like a changing show and pouted, adding a large scoop of sour plum sauce to her bread.

Also because the waste hero’s stomach was growling, Rin quickly helped her wash up this time, taking less than five minutes. They sat back at the table, opened the lid, and the breakfast was still warm.

Looking at the sandwich with an extra piece of meat pie, Emilia sniffed it, trying to cheer herself up, but after eating just half, her head began to nod off again.

Rin had to take on the responsibilities of a parent again and finished feeding breakfast.

Angela took a sip of black tea and said happily, "Let’s take what we need and set off now."

Rin replied and entrusted the still-sleepy waste hero to Angela, then started to pack the tent and cooking gear.

In just ten minutes, everything was fully organized.

When he returned, Angela looked like she had caught something from Suyu, wearing a mischievous grin as she poked the waste hero’s shoulder.

The standing hero swayed left and right like a weeble, but he just wouldn’t fall down.

Rin’s face instantly darkened; he quickly snatched the waste hero and held her close, resting her on his shoulder while glaring fiercely at Angela.

"So stingy."

Angela didn’t mind and waved her hand, "Let’s set off now. The Cloud Sea Secret Realm is very close. As usual, Diving Agent, tell your little girlfriend to wake up; if she sleeps more, she’ll drown."

After drinking the Diving Agent and being given some energy candies by Rin, the waste hero barely managed to feel energized.

The three of them dove down together, starting from the other side of the island and swimming deeper into the sea.

Once they left the gray misty area, Rin could see the barrier in the distance. From left to right, the entire horizon was filled with a semi-transparent black light.

It looked like a black semi-transparent glass dome, and you could vaguely see the grid above it. It was so large that it covered the sky and gave a strong feeling of shock and fear.

Rin couldn’t help but stop swimming. He floated on the surface, shaking his arms and legs to keep himself balanced, while staring blankly at the barrier that seemed to cover everything.

It was strange; before, it was invisible, but after crossing the so-called boundary line, the dome became very clear.

"It looks spectacular, like the legendary Netherworld," he said.

Angela sighed, "But now that we see it clearly, it’s actually very far away. It just covers the entire continent and during the day, the black light stands out, making it seem close, like looking at a giant mountain from afar."

"I know that a mountain looks close until you actually walk towards it."

Rin gazed at the seemingly black planet, stayed silent for a moment, and then buried his head in the water.

That was the place he must go to in the future, and the mysterious world where Lin Wuyue had dug a hole that was never filled. He knew nothing about it.

But he knew that the Edgeless Continent was more like an independent world.

Otherwise, why did the former hero Mina and Suyu’s mother, upon entering it, have their ranks reset, giving birth to a new Demon King and hero?

Almost everyone thought the former Demon King and hero had perished, but only a few, like Suyu, believed they were merely missing, and Suyu was certain her mother was alive.

Of course, the story ended when Suyu found the message left by her mother, knowing that they had gone to the Edgeless Continent.

Following Angela, they dove into the sea, passing through a deep underwater area, and suddenly the view opened up.

At that moment, Rin did not feel they had gone as deep as last time, but they had reached the end.

This was an underwater canyon filled with colorful jellyfish, glowing seaweed, and corals, with bubbles sparkling like rainbows, making the whole canyon seem like a strange and magical fairy tale world.

But this incredibly bright underwater world can make a person’s eyes a little uncomfortable if looked at for too long.

At the end of the canyon, there stood a huge door that shone with a golden light, like the entrance to an underwater dragon palace.

Angela placed her hand on the door and quietly began to mutter a spell.

Rin noticed blue dots starting to appear on her, which were the magic gathering into form.

Countless blue dots rose slowly like fireflies, eventually settling on the door.

The golden door was surrounded by a blue glow, and where the light met, colorful rays appeared. It looked like the lights and colors from an animated movie.

After a dull sound, the heavy door slowly opened.

Rin looked eagerly inside the door but saw nothing except a white sea of clouds.

And these clouds wonderfully kept the water pressure outside, rolling like a current.

Seeing that Angela had already swum inside, Rin quickly tugged at the half-sleeping waste hero and pulled her closer to the door.

In an instant, he felt his body being wrapped in a softer liquid.

This liquid was gentler and friendlier than lake water, but it still provided buoyancy.

"Is this really… cloud?"

Rin’s eyes widened as he suddenly realized that he could talk and breathe, leaving him in shock.

"Silly, since it’s called the Cloud Sea Secret Realm, it must be cloud!"
