I Am Not A Goblin Slayer-Chapter 236 - 193:

"Let me check one more time."

"Meat, vegetables, fruits, compressed dry food..."

"Water filter, folding tent, insulated sleeping bag, cooler box, medical kit, night vision potion, poison detection powder, whetstone..."

Before departure, Aaliyah was doing a final check on the equipment and supplies.

"Aaliyah, it should be enough, right?" Gauss stood with his hands on his hips, somewhat exasperated. "This is already the third round of checking."

"Let me see, hmm..." Aaliyah squatted on the ground, pinching her chin, her gaze wandering over the spread-out items.

Actually, it wasn’t her fault for being slow, but after the first experience, she had a deeper understanding and respect for the labyrinth, so being fully prepared was necessary.

Who knows what unexpected situations might arise inside the labyrinth.

If they ran out of supplies, going out to replenish them would indeed be a troublesome task.

...

They arrived at the West District.

This time the three followed the Golden Beak Trading Company to the labyrinth, but the three were to enter it, while the staff of the Golden Beak Trading Company set up fixed stalls outside, responsible for purchasing labyrinth loot and selling fixed supplies.

In fact, there are many such small trading companies like the Golden Beak Trading Company that have started setting up around the labyrinth.

A labyrinth is like a precious vein, continuously producing a large amount of resources, from which workers in every link can extract their own share of the profits. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Safe journey."

Haylir, as the young mistress, also came to the scene to see Gauss and the three off.

Her gaze landed on the trio dressed in elite equipment, focusing especially on Gauss.

Suddenly, her mind became a bit dazed.

It was as if she saw her own shadow from another timeline on Gauss.

Unfortunately, at least for now, the possibility of becoming an adventurer had drifted far from her.

Her main task now was to start taking over the family business and make it as big and strong as possible within her capabilities.

Moreover, even if she couldn’t become an adventurer, at least she could still maintain some connection with this amazing and magnificent fantasy world through other channels, which somewhat comforted her.

Beside Haylir stood a middle-aged man in an indigo suit with a kindly smile on his face.

He was Haylir’s father and the founder of the Golden Beak Trading Company, Quentin.

As a self-made man who climbed up from being a laborer, although the scale of the trading company is just a drop in the ocean in the massive Barry City, this porter is already a legend in his life story.

His gaze paused for a moment on the adventurer’s badges in front of Gauss and the others.

Finally, it rested on Gauss’s young face.

He finally understood why his daughter was so earnest about treating a former temporary teammate from exploring trips.

Perhaps that impulsive departure was not a bad thing.

Not only did it completely sever her unrealistic fantasy of becoming an adventurer, but it also allowed her to meet a newly emerging genius.

Could this be another opportunity for the family’s rise?

He keenly sensed this potential.

"Haylir, make sure you keep in touch with this friend of yours," Quentin said earnestly as he watched the caravan and Gauss and the others gradually move away.

Haylir, who was waving her hand continuously, turned her head upon hearing this, giving him a peculiar look.

"Of course."

Her peculiar look was because her father’s attitude had changed so quickly.

Initially, when he heard that she specifically came to see off a former male teammate, he wasn’t reassured leaving his work, followed her over, and kept reminding her to be careful with friends made outside.

Unexpectedly, after meeting, his attitude took a complete 180-degree turn.

Sunlight pierced through the tall clock tower in the West District, casting rays over Gauss and the others.

"Dong——"

The loud bell echoed throughout the city.

Gauss and the others, at the front of the team, were quietly conversing with each other.

"This time, our goal is to reach the third level of the labyrinth."

Before entering the labyrinth each time, it’s necessary to set small goals for oneself to improve efficiency.

Additionally, unlike last time, the three have also taken on some labyrinth commissions.

It’s said that an Adventurer’s Guild base is also under active construction within the labyrinth, which will make taking and submitting missions more streamlined afterward.

Gauss’s team is now a bronze two-star team, as he and Serdur have been accumulating task numbers lately, finally raising their level.

However, the combat power of the three is actually somewhat excessive for a bronze two-star team.

Especially Gauss nowadays, he’s unsure of his current combat level.

With all sorts of buffs and boosts stacked, a level 3 professional is absolutely no match for him, at least compared to the brief encounter with the Iron Arm Squad’s Swordsman and Warlock.

But with level 4 adventurers, he hasn’t yet had a real encounter, so he can’t hastily make a judgment.

Moreover, professionals of the same level will have significant fluctuations in combat power due to profession, skills, and areas of specialty, so it can only be fully understood through real combat.

"Dada-da!"

The caravan drove into the surface camp of the labyrinth.

Compared to the last time they came here, despite not much time having passed, all kinds of facilities have changed significantly.

Firstly, the road conditions; the camp has shed the muddy dirt roads and has been paved with orderly stone bricks.
