Today is also a two-part update, but since we've entered Chapter 4 and the number of episodes has increased, I'm worried that new readers might hesitate to catch up, so from tomorrow, I'll update one part at a time. If something special happens, I might do multiple parts again. (2/2)
I was thinking about 'luck' and the people who were tossed around by it, but I shook my head.
Even with the minimum values of all status growth curves at 1 and 'SP' value at 2, if you don't give up, you can still grow. The moment they gave up and their spirits were broken, they were no longer adventurers. I should stop thinking about it.
I looked at the dropped items again.
The 'General Goblin' dropped a long sword made of 'magical iron.' According to Aila, this is better than the 'Wood Spirit,' so I put the 'Wood Spirit' away and equipped the long sword. Now I have a dual-wielding setup with 'Guardian Spirit' and 'Magical Iron Long Sword.' This should increase my damage output a bit.
Well, since my level has reached 41, I'll try the gacha.
*Jara, Jara, Jara!*
The results were: 1 green, 2 purple, 5 red, and 2 blue.

First, regarding the status, I'm a bit weaker without Ayane's 'Leadership.' This means that even with the gacha, I'm a bit weaker than yesterday. However, there are also parts that have improved, so on average, it's about the same.
Thinking about it, 'Leadership' is worth one gacha at level 40. This skill is really strong.
As for the skills, 'Appraisal' and 'Appraisal Interference' have reached MAX at level 7.
It's a bit surprising that it's not level 10.
Regarding 'Automatic Mapping II,' there's no change in the map yet.
There might be some conditions that need to be met to see the changes.
Finally, 'Body Super Enhancement' has a significant effect. Even while sitting, I feel my senses have greatly expanded. I might be able to easily defeat a 'General Goblin' using 'Assassination.'
"Oh, right."
Since they've reached MAX, I'll try compressing them.
[Do you want to use Skill Compression?]
"Use it."
[Checking the relevant skills...]
[Checked the relevant skills]
[Compressing the relevant skills...]
[Compression of the relevant skills successful]
[SR Skill 'Appraisal LvMAX' compressed to UR Skill 'True Appraisal Lv1'. This skill will no longer appear at its original rank.]
[Compression of the relevant skills successful]
[SR Skill 'Appraisal Interference LvMAX' compressed to UR Skill 'Appraisal Falsification Lv1'. This skill will no longer appear at its original rank.]
...The skill names have changed to something that seems to have tremendous effects.
I searched... Yeah, neither of them showed up.
Are they gacha-only skills, or do they exist but are not publicly known? Well, something like 'falsification' would be troublesome to announce. I'll experiment with it only with my lovers, not Aila.
By the way, I'm curious about the effects of 'True Appraisal,' but I forgot to check the effects of 'Appraisal LvMAX.'
Looking at my status, there's no particular change.
So...
"Aila, can you show me your status?"
"Understood."
"Thanks."
Then, I noticed that a certain item had been added to Aila's status.
* * * * *
Name: Aila Inukashi
Age: 23
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 56 kg
Three Sizes: 90/60/89
Level: 170
Strength: 1126 (+103)
Dexterity: 1127 (+103)
Durability: 753 (+69)
Agility: 1499 (+137)
Magic Power: 379 (+35)
Intelligence: 382 (+35)
Luck: 6
Equipment: Parazonium, Life Steal, Custom Hyper Protector (Maid of the Battlefield)
"Following the age... How am I supposed to use this?"
"Did you see the three sizes?"
"...If you knew, you should have told me."
"I apologize. I wanted to see your reaction."
She had a mischievous smile, as if her prank had succeeded.
"You're a bad maid."
Aila slightly pulled up her skirt.
"Are you going to punish me?"
"No."
Aila lightly rubbed her chest.
"Then, would you like to touch and confirm?"
"I won't touch."
"Hehe, as you wish."
I didn't know she could smile like that.
Not just the age, but since Aila knew, the three sizes must be visible due to the effect of 'Appraisal LvMAX.' And the effect of 'Appraisal LvMAX' is a known fact.
So, what is the effect of 'True Appraisal'? Is it for monsters, or...
My intuition worked, and my eyes went to the weapon at my waist.
"True Appraisal"
Name: Sixth Generation Type β’ Guardian Spirit III
Weapon Level: 17
"Weapon Level...? I couldn't see this before. So it's about performance?"
I looked at the other weapon.
Name: 'Magical Iron Long Sword'
Weapon Level: 11
"Aila, show me the 'Wood Spirit.'"
"Yes, here it is."
Name: Third Generation Type β’ Wood Spirit I
Weapon Level: 9
...I see. It shows the performance to some extent.
I can't tell the sharpness of the weapon itself, but the higher the level, the better the weapon, no doubt.
So, the thing I'm curious about...
"Aila, can you show me your two weapons?"
"Yes, here they are."
Name: Parazonium
Weapon Level: 49
Name: Life Steal
Weapon Level: 43
...Yeah, I see.
No wonder the 'Magical Iron' equipment can be easily pierced.
