Chapter 9

Lynn really didn't expect it.

In order to leave the sealed cave, Virudra actually transformed himself into an A-rank powerhouse in one move.

Although his A-rank status was quite watered down.

Without any combat experience, if it came to a fight, he would definitely be the weakest among A-rankers.

But even so.

This was a genuine A-rank power!

Even if he couldn't dominate this world, he was absolutely not to be underestimated!

So the question is.

Can the suddenly grown-up Lynn really take Virudra away?

"Sorry..."

"Virudra."

"It seems the gap between us is still too great."

Standing in front of the space-time gate.

Lynn had a bitter smile on his face.

And in front of him.

The mighty Storm Dragon Virudra had fallen into a state of self-isolation.

After exerting all his efforts to bless Lynn, making him instantly grow into an A-rank powerhouse.

In the end.

The gap in strength was still too great, and he couldn't activate the Familiar Domination.

"Never mind..."

"Go on..."

"I should have known..."

"I just can't leave this place..."

"..."

Hey!

At a time like this, don't crouch in the corner and draw circles like a lost child!

Especially when you hear the low, thunderous muttering.

Lynn, who was already speechless, became even more at a loss.

"Wait for me."

"Virudra."

"I'll be back soon."

Persuasion...

Seemed to have little effect.

In the end, Lynn could only step into the space-time gate and return to his own world.

To save the self-isolated Storm Dragon.

He had to find something to cheer Virudra up as soon as possible!

——

Returning to his own world.

With the experience of the first穿越, Lynn found that his dizziness had significantly decreased.

He estimated that after a few more times.

He should be able to completely adapt and no longer feel dizzy.

Subconsciously, he took out his phone to recalibrate the time.

He discovered.

The time flow in both worlds seemed to be completely synchronized.

The few hours spent in the sealed cave had passed in the same amount of time in this world.

Realizing this.

He had a general idea.

However, after confirming the time flow.

Lynn quickly noticed that this world seemed to lack the substance known as mana.

Although he had received the blessing of the Storm Dragon and had a high level of mana in his body.

Without external mana supplementation.

This meant.

Once his internal mana was heavily consumed, he would quickly fall into a dangerous situation.

From this perspective.

Returning to this world was a significant weakening for Lynn.

However...

Considering that he was an ordinary person living in a peaceful modern society.

The weakening of his strength didn't seem to be a big problem for him.

Moreover.

Even without mana supplementation and the ability to use magic at will.

With his current super-accelerated physical attributes, he had already surpassed the ordinary person's realm.

Even those so-called martial arts experts.

In front of him, they probably wouldn't stand a chance.

Even just using brute force, he could overpower them!

Looking at it this way.

It seemed there was no need to worry too much.

After a simple check.

Lynn walked out of the warehouse and returned home immediately, taking out his passbook to withdraw all his savings from the bank.

This money.

He originally planned to use it as capital to reopen the杂货店.

But now—

First, go to the nearby bookstore and buy a hundred or so of the hottest middle-school fantasy manga!

Then go to the game store, get the latest GBA game console, plus a bunch of batteries and games and cartridges.

The haul cost him about one-fifth of his savings.

But that wasn't enough!

As a man!

Lynn understood what men liked the most!

So his final stop.

Was a convenience store a bit farther from his home, where he packed all the adult magazines on the shelves!

Throughout the process.

Lynn was quite nervous.

After all, before the穿越, he had never had such an experience.

Being able to buy adult magazines openly was a huge challenge for him.

Fortunately, as an adult.

His mental fortitude was strong enough.

Plus, he had dressed up, wearing a mask and a pair of sunglasses on his nose.

Although this made the store clerk's eyes look strange.

In the end.

He successfully completed his mission and, taking advantage of no one noticing, quickly put the bag full of adult magazines into his spatial backpack!

"Phew..."

Finally done!

Stepping out of the convenience store, Lynn.

Couldn't help but let out a long breath.

But what he didn't expect.

Before he could finish catching his breath.

The next second.

A young, slightly lazy voice sounded behind him—

"Lynn-ge?"

Recognizing the familiar voice.

Lynn's forehead broke out in a sweat almost instantly.

He hurriedly turned his head.

Sure enough.

The familiar face that met his eyes was the third daughter of the Nan family, who lived next door, with her eyes always half-closed and a tuft of hair on her head—Chitose!

Sigh...

Even though he deliberately chose a convenience store a bit farther away.

How could he still run into this kid here?

This unexpected encounter made Lynn draw a sharp breath.

Before he could speak.

Chitose took a step forward, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity.

"Why is Lynn-ge dressed so strangely?"

Actually, I want to ask more!

Why can you still recognize me even when I'm dressed like this?

Under Chitose's puzzled gaze.

Lynn's inner voice roared.

At the same time.

He was secretly relieved.

Fortunately, he had just put the bag into his spatial backpack.

Otherwise.

He would have faced a major social death scene!

"Cough..."

"Actually, I have a cold today, so I put on a mask."

"By the way, Chitose, are you coming home from school with your friends?"

Feeling a bit guilty.

After a light cough, Lynn quickly shifted his gaze to Chitose's sides.

Standing on either side of her were two girls about her age.

From their appearance and attire.

Lynn remembered that in the original plot, one was a bit of a ditz, and the other was a bit of a schemer.

Both were quite interesting kids.

Unfortunately, it had been a long time.

He had forgotten their names.

"Um."

"They're coming home with me to study today."

Distracted by Lynn's change of subject.

Chitose didn't seem to mind.

After a light nod, she explained the purpose of her outing with her friends.

Unfortunately, this kid was still too young and naive.

From her expression.

It seemed she had no intention of introducing her friends to Lynn.
