The maximum number of wishes that can appear at the same time is up to ten, which makes it relatively easy to produce useful effects, and it starts with 0 frames without any casting delay.
It can definitely be called the strongest paid item.
Actually, the spell of making a wish upon a star appears quite frequently in character creation. The reason Suzuki Satoru forgot about it is simply because it's too inefficient and nobody uses it in the game.
If the spellcaster uses it themselves, it will consume at least 10% of their experience.
Even if it's only 10% of level 95, it would take enough time to complete three or four character customization quests to regain it.
Not to mention he's a level 100 player, so it will take him even longer.
As for using a meteor ring, that would be even more foolish!
As a paid item obtainable only through gacha draws, the amount of money spent on just one draw is enough to customize your character's appearance twice.
Not to mention players like Suzuki Satoru, who, despite having bad luck, invested all their year-end bonuses and only received a ring. This behavior was considered foolish by the other members of the guild.
If this were a game, Suzuki Satoru would never use the Meteor Ring for such a trivial matter.
Even if he really wanted to customize his character's appearance, he would only go through a tedious quest process.
But now that he has transmigrated to this world, there are naturally no NPCs to give him tasks, and this is no longer a trivial matter.
It is a matter of male dignity and lifelong happiness, and it would not be excessive to use all three skills!
Thinking of this, Suzuki Satoru's expressionless skull face also revealed a solemn feeling, as if he were about to make a pilgrimage, and he stretched out his right index finger.
The ring, engraved with three shooting stars and devoid of other embellishments, appears quite simple yet exudes a silvery sheen.
".So--"
"Ring, hear my wish!"
Actually, you don't need to say any lines when activating a prop.
However, this scene stirred up a surge of emotion in Suzuki Satoru, who had a strong desire for one particular wish, to the point that he couldn't help but shout it out.
"Please let me change my appearance!"
The next second, a pure white but not dazzling light enveloped Suzuki Satoru's entire body.
Chapter Thirty-Three: Confidence Comes from Strength
There is a desert in the southwestern part of the central part of the continent.
It is the place known as the Dolor Desert, or perhaps named after the empire that once existed on this land, the Digvors Desert.
This is a vast desert.
Since only a small portion of the desert is located on its edge and receives a certain amount of rainfall, it is mainly inhabited by marginalized demons or drought-resistant scorpion people.
Meanwhile, a building that seemed completely out of place in its surroundings stood in the desert, bathed in moonlight, in a place that could only be described as a desolate wasteland.
This is a building made entirely of wood.
Although it looks like a standard wooden house, it is unusually free of any artificial carvings.
The bark on the surface of the tree was undamaged, and the dense leaves on the roof rustled in the night wind mixed with gravel.
Rather than calling it a man-made structure, it's more like nature, for some inexplicable reason, grew a tree into the shape of a house.
Of course, nature can't actually magically sprout houses out of thin air.
It's actually man-made, but it uses mysterious ninjutsu from another world.
Wood Release: Three Rooms and One Hall Technique.
The only user, naturally, can be Xia Yan.
In the living room of the wooden cabin, the flickering campfire cast the shadows of four people of different heights sitting around it onto the surrounding walls.
With a handsome face, wearing armor, and a tall and strong physique, he resembled a dragonman who had stepped out of a legend, like one of the heroic protagonists in the story.
A voluptuous, beautiful snake-woman with a queenly nobility and a priestess-like holiness.
She looked like a ten-year-old child, a dark elf girl dressed like a gigolo.
And a young male, dressed as a mage, wearing an intricately patterned cloak, who appeared to be human.
It was Xia Yan, Medusa, and Aura who had left the Great Tomb of Nazarick to travel, or rather, to go on an adventure, along with Suzuki Satoru after changing his appearance and re-creating his character's face.
A crucible rested on the hearth, the flickering flames licking the bottom of the pot, drawing away the moisture inside and adding wisps of steam to the wooden house.
The rich aroma of meat wafted from the pot along with the steam.
"How peaceful..."
Suzuki Satoru narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a sigh like an old man, his expression becoming noticeably more relaxed.
The flickering firelight before his eyes, the faint aroma of meat in the air, and the rustling of wind and sand hitting the leaves outside the window made him feel both comfortable and unreal.
There's no heavy workload, no annoying boss nagging, and no fear of not meeting performance targets...
This is the kind of life people should live!
Although he can no longer be called a human being...
"But is it really okay for us to be so leisurely?"
After mentally criticizing myself, I realized that all the other NPCs in the Great Tomb were busy with their own duties.
Not only did he, the supreme being, not help her wander around, but he even abducted Aura, one of the important laborers. Suzuki Satoru felt a faint sense of guilt.
The idea of an adventure to another world proposed by Natsuhiko was too tempting for Suzuki Satoru.
So much so that the day after resolving his appearance issue, he abandoned his so-called sense of responsibility for his work and couldn't wait to embark on a spontaneous trip.
The reason for bringing Aura along was not only due to the strong request from the guardians that someone be needed to act as a guard, but also because of considerations for the composition of the team.
Speaking of the damage dealers, Xia Yan alone is enough to ensure that both physical and magical attacks, single-target and area-of-effect attacks, are already excessive.
While Suzuki Satoru is a magic damage dealer, his extensive skill pool makes him useful in many ways, making him a semi-support.
Although Medusa was a support character specially created by Xia Yan for himself, it doesn't mean that her skills can't be used on others. She is perfectly qualified as a semi-support.
In addition, Xia Yan himself possesses a variety of ninjutsu, which are more than enough to provide buffs or healing.
Therefore, there is no need to add any other support classes to the team.
It's basically a pretty perfect team; the only shortcoming is their intelligence gathering.
Although Xia Yan can use abilities such as Byakugan, mind reading, and Hermit Purple to gather information, it is still somewhat one-sided.
Especially when facing unknown magic or lost texts in ancient ruins, they have no advantage.
If you acquire any loot during your adventure, even if you can judge its value based on your dragon race instincts, you still can't directly determine its purpose and how to use it.
This requires specialized magic for intelligence gathering and identification.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Suzuki Satoru decided to include Aura in the otherworld exploration team.
First, in terms of job positioning, Yaura is a special profession that combines various miscellaneous skills such as reconnaissance, information gathering, intelligence exploration, trap breaking, long-range shooting, and group reinforcement.
It can effectively compensate for the team's shortcomings in intelligence gathering and deciphering mechanisms.
Secondly, compared to the other floor guardians who have clearly defined roles and responsibilities, Aura, who has her twin brother Mare to share the work, is not an indispensable figure for the progress of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Unlike Demiurge, Sebastian, and Shalltear, they were not assigned to gather intelligence.
Unlike Mare, who was specifically assigned by Suzuki Satoru to carry out the hiding work at the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
There's no need for Albedo, the Grand Steward, to stay behind and oversee everything when both Supreme Beings have left the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Even the floor guardians' primary job is no longer required to guard their floors like Cocytus, thanks to Mare's presence.
Therefore, they were able to spend their free time traveling and sightseeing with Xia Yan and the others.
To be honest, there isn't really anyone in the team who is qualified to be a guard.
Although Xia Yan is tough and has a long health bar, he really doesn't have any skills to taunt enemies or help teammates take damage.
Therefore, it cannot be considered a qualified front row seat.
Albedo, who remained to oversee the overall situation, was more suitable for the position of tank.
However, as the head of the Guardians, she naturally had to stay and see what was going on since both Supremes had skipped work to go out and the other Guardians were also short-handed.
"Oh, don't worry, it'll be fine."
Xia Yan gently stirred the stew in the pot with a spoon to prevent uneven heating and burning of the bottom, and also tasted a little soup.
"Mmm, the taste is just right..."
As he spoke, Xia Yan took out a soup bowl from his backpack, ladled out the stew, and gave each person a piece of white bread.
"Wow--"
As if flattered, Yaura held the soup bowl in both hands, her eyes even sparkling.
"It looks absolutely delicious! Thank you, Lord Nidhogg, then I won't be polite!"
Perhaps because she was still a child, although she still respected Xia Yan and Suzuki Satoru very much, she was not as reserved as before, and her tone was more casual.
When traveling, the food is naturally not as luxurious as it is in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, where there are dedicated chefs and maids to serve you.
Being able to eat hot stew in your room, instead of sleeping in a cramped shelter camp with sand and wind, is already a rare treat.
Even Medusa, a queen, ate with relish.
Of course, it could also be because Xia Yan cooked the dish, so even if the taste was just average, she could still eat it.
However, there was one exception.
Looking at the steaming, fragrant stew in his hand, and the exquisite white bread that was already a luxury for ordinary people in this world, Suzuki Satoru couldn't help but sigh softly and didn't eat it.
It's not that he's a picky eater, but that he doesn't like the stew and white bread.
In fact, compared to the sticky, liquid synthetic food he drank before his transmigration, this simple dinner was already a luxury for Suzuki Satoru.
However, as an undead, although he could smell the aroma, he could only perceive the texture of the food when it entered his mouth, but he couldn't taste any flavor.
Normally, he would happily eat it.
After all, although he was an undead and had no appetite, he was not born an undead. As Suzuki Satoru, he still had a lingering desire to eat and a curiosity about taste.
Moreover, since it was a close friend who cooked it, even if he couldn't taste the flavor, he would still eat it and then praise and encourage the friend.
