Chapitre 32: Such a nice person! Part1

Liam was someone who had already faced years of terrifying grueling combat in his life. So how could he not respond instantaneously to this small soft fist?

He only moved an inch to the right and dodged the attack like it was nothing which in turn made the attacker stumble and fall forward. Liam sighed and caught the person, lest he might make the situation worse.

"Motherfucker! Greedy scoundrel! Did you seriously take us for fools?" Alex cursed loudly, strands of her long red hair coming undone. She quickly steadied herself and huffed angrily, her chests heaving up and down.

Woah! This girl really put a lot of power into that punch! Liam scratched his head. It was not too difficult for him to guess what was happening.

Seeing his calm smile only made Alex even more furious. "You! How dare you?"

"Sister, calm down, please." Rey tried his best to hold Alex back, but as always he failed miserably.

"We called you to party together with us, but you ditched us at the last minute and took everything for yourself??? Are you serious?"

"What do you mean?" Liam calmly replied. "Wouldn't you have just died if you stayed back? You would not have gotten any rewards either way."

"Oh! So now you are back to being Mister know it all? Don't make me laugh. What a jerk!"

"You could have warned us back there also and we could have finished the dungeon together, but instead, you dragged us along for the ride and then left us hanging."

"At worst we would have died? So what? You didn't have to kick us out of the dungeon!"

Liam saw that the woman was ready to murder him. He wanted to point out that they had left the dungeon out of their own accord, but he decided to swallow his words.

He had a lot of things to do and standing here and bickering with two women was not on his list. And the woman in front of him didn't look like she was going to stop any time soon.

"And we" Liam stopped her and did not let her finish her sentence. "I will compensate you guys."

"Aha. You don't have to, senior." Rey awkwardly chuckled, but he obviously looked very excited.

"Shut up, idiot." Alex scolded him. "What compensation are we talking about?"

"How about I tell you guys the secret to getting more skills?" Liam chuckled.

The three in front of him, even the silent Mia immediately became shocked.

"So senior, you were really not buying them from some shop? Ha ha ha" Rey was the first to mutter something even though he was just blabbering.

Liam shook his head helplessly. "No. It's not that easy. I only managed to find this by chance. Listen to me carefully and it is best you keep it to yourself."

"If you repeat any action enough times, with a significant insight into what exactly you are doing, you can automatically learn that skill without needing the specific skill books."

"For example, Miss tank, how about you use your shield and slam into that tree there?"

Alex narrowed her eyes and looked suspiciously at the greedy scoundrel and then went to test out the theory he had mentioned. "If this is not true… Hmph. I swear I will take care of you!"

Liam chuckled. "Focus on the way you are hitting the tree. Think about its weak points and slam it with all your strength and power."

He knew that she would probably take some time so he decided to give some pointers to Rey. He didn't bother saying anything to Mia as he didn't want to disturb her natural growth.

"Why are you playing a 'no class' character?" Liam dragged Rey to the side and asked.

"Ah? Is that not the best?" Rey looked confused because Liam himself was playing the same style.

"Do you have any special affinities like your cousin there?"

Rey shook his head. "No?"

"What did the system recommend for you?"

"Ah… that… hunter ha ha ha."

Liam sighed at the carefree guy. This was definitely a person who hadn't worked hard even for a second in his life. "Then you should go with the hunter class in my opinion."

"Let me add you as a friend and I will bring you guys to another dungeon later to compensate for this one."

While these two were talking, a loud sound echoed from the direction Alex was training. Everyone turned to look at her and saw that the tree in front of her had split into two halves.

Alex on the other hand was busy staring at the new notification that had popped up in front of her.

[Ding. You have learned a new skill Shield Slam]

"What the hell? You were not lying!"

Liam smiled. "So that settles things? I will be leaving now."

"Thank you," Alex muttered silently while looking away. She felt that she had been a bit hasty in judging this person's character.

The mechanic he had revealed to them wouldn't probably have remained a secret forever. Nevertheless, this was a huge boost for them so early on in the game.

So she stopped being difficult and swallowed her pride. Since she was the one who had accused him unfairly, she decided to extend an olive branch.

"Do you want to run the dungeon with us a few more times? We can grind our levels faster."

"No, that's alright." Liam was actually planning in his mind about his next few steps but of course, the three in front of him mistook his actions as him trying to be friendly.

This made Alex feel even worse and she tried to lighten the mood. "Come on, expert. Give us some more pointers." She flashed a weird smile which she had actually meant to be flirtatious but somehow came out as awkward.

Liam, however, did not pay any attention to it. "More pointers? Hmmm. Make sure not to die. There are huge penalties for death." He blankly replied.

Alex widened her eyes as she suddenly realized if this was why he had asked them to get out of the dungeon. Now she felt even worse for having completely misjudged him.

"By the way, you helped both me and Rey, but you forgot to give Mia any pointers! Ha Ha Ha." She squeezed out another sentence just to keep making conversation.

She didn't actually expect the rigid guy to respond, but to her surprise, Liam who was preparing to leave loudly exclaimed. "Oh, you are right! I almost forgot!"

Unexpectedly, he paused in front of Mia and whispered something in her ears.

Huh? The other two were confused and looked at him, but he didn't bother explaining anything to them. He jumped down from the cliff and bolted away.

Chapitre 33: Such a nice person! Part2

Both Alex and Rey watched as the perfect silhouette of the mysterious person disappeared into the forest.

On their right, there was still a huge commotion because of the field boss, but Liam had avoided all of that and ran away in the other direction.

"Hmm. I really misjudged that person." Alex muttered under her breath. "He is not that bad."

"He He. You should trust people more sis." Rey chuckled but he shut up immediately after sensing the deathly glare that came his way.

The two of them squabbled about for a bit when they finally turned around and noticed Mia. She had an odd expression on her face even for her and her cheeks were bright red.

In fact, her entire face and neck region was completely flushed.

"Huh? What happened?" Alex was confused. She then remembered that Liam had whispered something in her ear. But what could he have possibly said that could make Mia react like this?

"What did he say?" She asked.

Mia was usually a very calm and composed girl and seldom showed any emotions, unlike Alex whose emotions were always in her sleeves.

In their high school, she was even revered as the ice goddess by everyone, but now she was showing an expression like this?

"Hey, what happened?" Alex worriedly asked.

"That guy just now said something weird." Mia answered her in a daze. "He said that if we… inside the game..."

Meanwhile, Rey was already trying to gather other party members so that they could run the dungeon a few more times.

He was rather thick in these matters. So he didn't even notice the two women talking about something in hushed voices and weird expressions.

He randomly selected a couple of decent damage dealers and headed back, when the three of them stopped in their tracks.

Bam! Bang! Bang!

Loud explosive noises echoed at the entrance of the dungeon.

"What the hell? Another field boss spawned?" One of the new recruits muttered in confusion.

"Looks like it. Should we get more people? Woah! The beginning of this game is so sick!"

Rey, on the other hand, gulped. Unlike the two new recruits, he was rather familiar with the silhouette of this so-called bear.

"Shhh! You guys. That's my sister. Don't call her a bear if you love your life." He nervously muttered under his breath and dashed forward. "Sis, what happened?"

He had only left for like a couple of minutes. What could have possibly happened in that short time to make his hot tempered sister burst out like a volcano?

Rey approached the danger zone very cautiously as if there was indeed an actual bear near him. "What happened, sis? Can you calm down a bit?"

"It's fine, Alex. Leave it be." Even Mia muttered.

However, Alex was clearly not in a mood to answer him or Mia. She just kept slamming against all the trees that she could get her hands on. "I AM GOING TO KILL HIM! I AM GOING TO FUCKING KILL HIM!"

"Huh? Who does she want to kill?" Rey looked at Mia, who looked away and didn't answer him.

After a while, Alex eventually calmed down and the group of them then went back into the dungeon to do a few more rounds.

"Wait till I get my hands on that pervert again! Fucking loser! Hmph!" Several curse words flew from the fiery hot woman's lips as she continued to slaughter the ravens in the dungeon.

She was so furious that her efficiency was off the charts and the two new recruits couldn't help but feel as if they had just joined a top-notch team.

Meanwhile, the person responsible for all of this…

Liam casually sped through the forest as he was familiar with this entire territory like the back of his palm.

Now that he had finished dealing with Niria and had obtained quite a bit of wealth, weapons, recipes, and skills, he wanted to consolidate everything and prepare the necessary items before heading to the next place.

He also needed to level up some of his skills and make sure that this overall build is balanced. Since he was playing a no class, he was always at the risk of messing up this delicate equilibrium.

As for the things that he had talked about with Mia, he didn't really place much importance on them. He had openly told her about the fastest way to become stronger.

And if she agreed, it would indeed make things a lot easier, but Liam knew plenty of other alternatives. He didn't care either way.

Regardless of whether it was the easy route or the hard route, he knew he was going to succeed in the end.
