Ultimate Porter ~The Weakest Man Aspires to be an Adventurer~ Chapter 66

After hunting a further 23 Nepia Sidewinders I was able to obtain another 2 demon stones .

Thanks to Mamoru-kun my defence has risen so I was able to fight closer to the front for a change .

The other member’s levels have been steadily rising .

Gobu reached level 15 today and his [Intelligence] became 51 .

“Uuuuuugaugagaa♪ Uuuuuuuugaugaga♪”

He’s apparently learned how to hum now .

I’m really impressed watching Gobu hum to himself while he butchers the snakes .

I wonder how far this child will grow?

I fully intend to raise Gobu properly in the future .

I used 10 demon stones in the creation of Gobu and it’s not possible to add any more . Also, his body is made of wood .

Wood has warmth but its strength is weak .

Let’s have a look at his stats .

Appraisal:

[Name] Gobu 1

[Age] 0

[Lv] 15

[HP] 167/167 (initial value 162)

[MP] 0/0

[Attack] 53 (+221) Mace (holy attribute)  (initial value 47)

[Defence] 172 (+175) (initial value 142) (iron mail) (helmet) (tower s.h.i.+eld)

[Physical strength] 329 (-7) (initial value 320)

[Intellect] 51 (initial value 12)

[Agility] 40 (-17) (initial value 37)

[Skills] Torch Lv . 3  (Eyes light up and illuminate the surrounding area), Shooting Lv . 10, s.h.i.+eld defence Lv . 4, s.h.i.+eld bash Lv . 2

[Notes] semi-autonomous type golem . 3MP a minute is required for action . MP may be charged up to 180 . It will lose the ability to function if separated from its master for more than an hour . If within a 4-meter radius of its master it can charge up its MP .

[Experience to next level] 2672/9000

Just by looking I can see that apart from [Intelligence] his other parameters haven’t gone up much .

I don’t think I can expect them to go up much in the future either .

At this point in time, I can’t afford to seal Gobu either .

One of my solutions is to improve his equipment .

Unlike me, his physical strength was good from the beginning so even if its bit heavy he can use better equipment .

Let’s give him some better weapons as well .

I’d like to give him something like Mamoru-kun but Gobu doesn’t generate his own [MP] so its no use .

Could I install an external generator using a high-rank demon stone?

It’s also possible to increase his reaction speed by coating his body in a material that responds to brain waves .

Various ideas come and go but for now, I decided to make weapons and protective gear .

When we were eating the snakes I was expecting the party to be repulsed by it but according to Meg, it’s common to eat snake in the downtown parts of Nepia .

I guess the only one feeling some light revulsion was me then .

I decided to go the easy route and fry it .

I season the snake fillets with salt and pepper and coat them in flour .

I season the snake fillets with salt and pepper and coat them in flour .

Because I didn’t bring much oil with me I add about 1cm of oil to the pan and fry it .

Hmmm . It tastes somewhere in between chicken and fish .

It was pretty good and had a nice crunch to it but chicken is still better in my opinion .

I was pleased when everyone else ate a lot .

The next day we hunted snakes again in the morning .

There are even more people than yesterday .

It seems an F rank demon stone rush is taking place .

By the afternoon, no matter where we go people are hunting snakes . The population density in the 5th ward has. .h.i.t ridiculous levels .

“Let’s leave……”

Bonnie-san seems to dislike crowds .

I don’t mind crowds but it’s got so full you cant actually hunt anything any more . Our efficiency has dropped and places to stay are running out .

I was planning to stay one more night but decided against it . We left and headed for the 2nd ward .

After all, I only acquired another 2 F rank demon stones which I bought as well .

After a while away I returned to the 2nd ward . I remember acquiring my beauty product items from this ward .

It’s also a skeleton area .

Finally, my Hydro Cannon Deluxe (high-performance water gun) can s.h.i.+ne .

Its been really heavy carrying this thing around for 2 days .

The labyrinth is cold today as well so I already made sure to warm the holy water up with life magic .

“C’mon then ossan . Show us the performance of  your new weapon . ”

“Don’t underestimate me . ”

“Don’t underestimate me . ”

I aimed at the skeletons that were approaching and slowly put my finger on the trigger .

This time drink my holy water and ascend!

The result was a great success .

Any bones that were hit by the holy water melted and emitted smoke .

“You did it Ossan!”

“Congratulations . ”

“Thanks, Jean, Kuro . ”

Because the hydro cannon is just a water gun it doesn’t consume MP when used so Jean and Kuro could also use it .

“I’ve got a bit of a concern Ippei-san…… . ”

Kuro speaks in a timid voice next to me .

A concern?

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s just that… . . is the holy water really necessary? I would have thought that Ippei-san would have given the gun the holy attribute . ”

………?

……… . . !

Oh yeah .

I should have just made the gun [Holy] and refilled it with normal water using life magic which I can make as much as I want of .

I could save 10,000 rims and not have to carry so much heavy water around .

“Idiot…… . ”

“Stupid ossan!”

“I’m lost for words . ”

“I’m sorry! I said something I shouldn’t have! Please don’t worry about it Ippei-san!”

Everyone’s voice seems to come from far away .

“I’m sorry! I said something I shouldn’t have! Please don’t worry about it Ippei-san!”

Everyone’s voice seems to come from far away .

My bitter rivalry with the skeletons came to an end with this but I can’t say it was a glorious achievement .

We spent our 3rd and last night in a small room in the 2nd ward on the 2nd floor .

I wanted to do some production so I volunteered to be on watch .

I’ve got 2 F rank demon stones which I can’t take home with me as I’d have to sell them at the gate so I might as well make something with them while I’m in the dungeon .

The thing I’m most interested in at the moment is armour for Gobu .

I want to make some armour now but I’m lacking in materials .

If it was just ordinary steel I could melt the door back into the labyrinth but I want to use at least mithril for it .

I brought 1 mithril ingot with me but it’s not enough to make a s.h.i.+eld and armour so I decided to make a mithril coating which I can apply to Gobu’s various parts .

Using one of the F rank demon stones I set the reaction speed and magic resistance for each part .

A fire attack, in particular, would be devastating to Gobu since he’s made of wood .

I carefully treated all the parts and the result is .

[Defence] 172-197, [Agility] 40-68, attack magic resistance (small) and fire resistance Lv . 3 .

Some parameters rose a little .

Its base colour was silver which would make Gobu stand out so I altered the colour to look like the wood it was covering .

At a quick glance, it would not be obvious that it was changed or maybe a minor change sort of feeling .

It’s really inconvenient I can’t bring the demon stones home with me . If I want to make anything I’ve got to bring the materials with me .

There are occasions where parties going particularity deep bring along a bicycle-drawn cart to carry their supplies .

I want to make a vehicle like golem .

I decided to make myself a weapon with the remaining F rank demon stone . I need something to tackle the 3rd floor and a handgun won’t cut it .

I’ll make something I’ve longed for from the beginning .

I start work on an a.s.sault rifle .
