Chapter 273 - Chapter 273: First Subjugation

The surrounding people instantly erupted, and a large group gathered together to whisper.

Roa was genuinely surprised, feeling that it sounded a bit too outrageous.

Roa scratched his head and casually said, "Is it that amazing?"

The counter lady directly approached Roa's face and exclaimed, "It's not just a matter of being amazing, you can choose all the advanced classes with these attributes! Including the 'Crusader Knight' with the strongest defense, the 'Sword Master' with the strongest attack, the priest's advanced class 'High Priest,' and so on?"

Roa frowned and fell into thought.

Honestly, Roa didn't feel anything special about these classes.

He could think about classes later. He didn't lack relevant moves right now.

The girl seemed to realize her gaffe, and after calming down, she slowly said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Luna, and I'm the person in this town who helps with various odd jobs. In short, you're quite outstanding, and I'm sure you'll soon become a top-notch adventurer."

Roa didn't have any concept of such things, shrugged, and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe I'm not as good as you say."

Luna shook her head and said affirmatively, "With your attributes, you'll definitely become an excellent adventurer."

Roa didn't continue the topic, took back the card, and said with a smile, "Then thank you for your kind words."

After saying that, Roa walked towards the adventurer bounty board, preparing to accept a task.

"Subjugate Giant Frogs: Subjugate five giant frogs within three days, reward is 100,000 Eris."

"Subjugate Goblins: Subjugate the goblins that live on the rocky mountains on the edge of the forest, reward is 20,000 Eris per goblin, no limit."

"Subjugate Kobolds: Go to the nearby dungeon and subjugate groups of kobolds in the dungeon, reward is 20,000 Eris per kobold, no limit."

These were all very profitable and very common subjugation tasks.

Whether it was giant frogs, goblins, or kobolds, they were all monsters that novice adventurers could deal with, as long as they were well-prepared.

Roa thought for a moment and directly accepted all of these lowest-level tasks.

Roa came to the counter and said to Luna, "That's all."

Luna glanced at them and nodded. She had already seen Roa's attributes, and as long as he didn't go looking for death, none of the surrounding monsters were a match for Roa, so there was no need to worry too much about him.

"You're new here, so you're probably a bit unfamiliar with the surrounding environment. I think you'll spend more time looking for monsters than actually subjugating them, right?"

Luna said.

Roa nodded. That was indeed the case, but he didn't mind.

Although this was the starting point for the main characters, it seemed that it might be a while before they appeared here, and even if they did, he didn't plan to interact with them too much.

After all, those idiots were really troublesome, and if they got attached to him, Roa would find it very annoying.

Kazuma was okay, although he was called Scumzuma, he was at least a normal person.

But Aqua was different.

Roa could imagine that if he got entangled with that guy, things would definitely become very troublesome.

Just thinking about that scenario made Roa's mouth twitch.

Anyway, he'd think about that later. For now, he'd level up first, and then after some time had passed and his attributes had recovered to about 70-80%, he'd try to go directly and kill the Demon Lord.

If he killed the Demon Lord, would he drop a lot of equipment?

While thinking, Roa came to the lawn again.

The sky was still the same sky, and the ground was still the same ground.

He didn't know the exact season, but the room temperature was over 20 degrees Celsius, and the weather was clear, so he guessed it was somewhere between late summer and early autumn.

Roa rubbed the ring on his right index finger. This was his divine artifact from his previous world. According to Aqua, as long as he had enough magic power, he could open the barrier between the two worlds.

Of course, this thing was usually used to break through things like barriers.

Magic power gathered in Roa's eyes, and an invisible domain began to unfold, with a little bit of magic power constantly sneaking over from the shackles like squeezing toothpaste.

Roa stepped forward and began to observe whether there were any creatures like frogs around.

The lawn was very wide, stretching as far as the eye could see, and even with the blessing of magic power, there were no similar creatures nearby.

Roa frowned and began to walk forward.

Maybe it was too close to the town, and even if there were such monsters, they would be taken care of by the adventurers who roamed around.

Roa's idea wasn't wrong. After walking for about ten minutes, Roa found the target he wanted.

A toad, entirely green with strange patterns on its back, was squatting on the ground.

Its cheeks puffed up and then quickly released, repeating this process.

This thing is almost four meters tall, and just looking at its size can be daunting.

However, that's only for newbies.

Roa stretched out his finger, magic power twined around it, and water gathered, quickly forming a water gun. Under Roa's control, the water gun rotated rapidly and then suddenly shot towards the giant toad.

In the blink of an eye, the water gun crossed the not-so-short distance, and the air was easily torn apart by it. The water gun arrived in front of the toad like a bullet, easily piercing its skin and directly entering its abdomen. After a slight pause, it broke through the abdomen and shot into the distance, finally dissipating into a puddle of water not far away.

The toad's huge body crashed down, struggled twice, and then stopped moving.

Roa stepped forward to check the toad's corpse.

It died very decisively, having been directly pierced by the water gun.

Strictly speaking, the water gun isn't even a mid-level magic spell. Even in the world of "Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation," ordinary magicians use it to kill agile but low-defense creatures like magic wolves.

But clearly, the toad in front of him wasn't in that category; its thick fat was its natural protective layer.

Yet even so, it was still instantly killed by Roa's water gun.

Green blood flowed from the wound onto the ground. Roa took out his adventurer card and glanced at it. The experience bar had grown a little, but not by much, about a third of the way.

Roa didn't hesitate much. Magic power gathered again at Roa's fingertip. This time, Roa didn't cast without chanting but slowly said, "Water Lance."
