Chapter 142 The Great Cabbage Battle
The Cabbage Battle – just hearing this name, and the fact that it's set in another world, immediately makes you think of fighting monsters that look like cabbages or monsters that are actually cabbages.
But this is not the case.
Cabbage, also known as Chinese cabbage, not some other type of cabbage called Hidaka Rina, is indeed that green, round, edible vegetable with a particularly crisp texture.
Eating food made with cabbage can also increase an adventurer's level; in this world, leveling up isn't just about fighting monsters.
Therefore, many wealthy people can easily level up and surpass most ordinary adventurers simply by eating delicious food every day.
Three days later, after Shichen and his guild returned to the guild after completing their mission to kill the giant frog, a broadcast rang out in the town.
"Urgent mission! Urgent mission! All adventurers in town, please assemble at the Adventurers' Guild immediately! I repeat, urgent mission! Urgent mission! All adventurers in town, please assemble at the Adventurers' Guild immediately!"
"Wow! You scared me!"
The announcement from the guild was much louder, probably amplified by some kind of magic, which startled Kazuma Sato.
"What happened? What's this emergency mission? Has a monster attacked the town?"
"This must be the Cabbage Operation that Miss Luna mentioned before. Let's go in and take a look." Shichen led the way into the guild.
Aqua yawned and followed him.
"Cabbage? I heard you guys talking about it the other day, what's going on? Could it really be a monster turned cabbage?"
"No, it's just a kind of vegetable," Darkness explained with a smile.
"What kind of emergency mission is that?"
"Hmm... because it's time to harvest cabbages." Darkness excitedly followed the time.
"Harvesting? What's so great about harvesting cabbage?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Just keep up!" Megumin scolded Kazuma Sato before entering the guild with Yuuyu.
She hasn't used her explosion magic yet today, and her energy is still very high.
"Okay..." Kazuma Sato reluctantly followed.
Inside the guild, the adventurers who were already there were on high alert, and their expressions were filled with excitement.
Kazuma Sato was completely baffled.
"Mr. Shichen, you're back!" Luna greeted him with a beaming smile.
"This should be... the one you were talking about, right?" Shichen asked.
"Yes!" Luna nodded with a smile, "Mr. Shichen, there's no need to rush."
"It's alright, Miss Luna, you can go ahead with your work."
"Okay, Mr. Shichen, would it be alright if your mission reward were settled together with the cabbage later?"
"No problem."
"Then please wait a moment... Also, Mr. Shichen, you don't need to be so polite, just call me Luna." After Luna finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the counter.
"Pfft~ This woman is still up to no good." Huihui walked over, glaring at Luna's back with displeasure.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Shi Chen pulled her onto his lap and then hugged her.
Huihui shifted slightly, found a comfortable position, tossed the staff to Youyou, and then remained still.
"Hmph~ Don't get me wrong, I just think that person is on our team, and we can't let her be seduced by other women, right, Youyou?"
"Huh? Hmm..." Youyou looked at the time cautiously.
She wasn't acting this way because Shichen was holding Huihui; she was just worried about whether what Huihui said was true.
Actually, just two days ago, Shi Chen pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap during a guild meeting. Unfortunately, she was too shy, and in less than a minute, her face turned bright red and she almost fainted.
There was nothing Shichen could do but obediently hold the petite Huihui.
Perhaps it was because the two were young and petite that Shi Chen couldn't help but want to hold them in his arms, or perhaps it was because he had held Kanna and Selena before, but he felt a little uncomfortable if he didn't hold anything.
Anyway, neither of them refused.
Before long, more and more adventurers gathered, and soon the entire guild hall was packed with them; basically, all the adventurers in the town had come.
"Why are you all here?" Kazuma Sato asked, puzzled.
"You'll find out soon enough," Shi Chen said with a smile.
"Brother Shi, can't you just tell me directly? Don't you know that riddle solvers are the most torturous?"
"It's different. You'll find out soon enough. Let me keep you in suspense for a bit and see how impatient you get."
"Brother Shi, you have such a twisted sense of humor..."
"I'm sorry to have suddenly called everyone here."
Just then, a guild employee interrupted Kazuma Sato and began to loudly explain to all the adventurers present.
"I think some of you already know what's going on. That's right, it's cabbage! The cabbage harvest season has arrived this year!"
The guild employee, her expression particularly excited, swallowed hard and continued, "This year's cabbages are growing exceptionally well; one cabbage yields ten thousand Eris! We've already asked all the townspeople to return home for safety. So, please gather as many cabbages as possible and bring them back here! Of course,..."
Please be mindful of your safety and avoid being injured by the cabbages' retaliation! Also, due to the large number of participants, the total amount will be substantial; payments will be distributed gradually over time!
"Oh!"
After the public official finished speaking, all the adventurers in the room became excited.
Kazuma Sato stared blankly at Toki, then asked, "Brother Toki, what did she just say? How much? Ten thousand Eris? Really?"
By the end, Kazuma Sato's face showed visibly excitement.
"Of course it's true..."

"Oh! There are cabbages outside! Everyone, rush!"
"Charge!"
Suddenly, a green flying object appeared outside, and everyone rushed out of the guild in a frenzy. In an instant, only Shichen and his group, along with the public officials, remained in the guild.
"What is that...?" Kazuma Sato stared blankly at the green flying object outside.
Aqua, lying behind Toki, lazily explained, "The cabbages in this world can fly. It's said that when their flavor begins to concentrate and it's time to harvest them, because they're unwilling to be eaten, they fly over towns and grasslands, across continents and oceans, and finally quietly die in some unknown secret place, escaping being eaten by anything. So we should catch as many cabbages as possible and eat them while they're still delicious."
"What nonsense is this?"
"You've been here for so long, how come you still haven't adapted to the abnormality of this world?" Shi Chen looked at him with amusement.
"It can't be that fast!"
"Let's get used to it slowly. Let's go catch some cabbages too. One cabbage is worth 10,000 erys. Maybe we'll have a chance to buy a house by the end of today!"

"A house? Charge!" Aqua was the first to charge.
Everyone followed behind her.
Once outside the guild, you're surrounded by cabbages, green dots everywhere, and what's more, they even have eyes! But overall, they're still pretty much the same as cabbages, so they don't cause any discomfort.
"Ten thousand! Here I come!" Aqua charged straight into the sea of cabbages and gave a bear hug to a lone cabbage.
However, the opponent was conscious and accelerated its attack on Aqua's chest, unexpectedly bouncing off.
"Ouch, that hurts! You're dead!" Aqua didn't even rub it before throwing a punch.
"I caught it! It was so easy! Everyone come quick!" Aqua waved her hand excitedly.
"Oh, oh, oh—leave them all to me! I'll be your shield, you guys catch them!" Darkness excitedly rushed to the front, spread his arms, and stood motionless.
A large amount of cabbage hit her, but instead of making her stumble backward, she fainted.
"Darkness, I'm here to help you, fireball!" Yoyo immediately cast an intermediate-level spell.
"Shichen, take me outside the city, I'm going to blow them all up!" Huihui couldn't wait to make her move.
"Okay. Kazuma, what are you doing? Don't just stand there, there's 10,000 Eris, all for the sake of a residence!"
"Fine..." Kazuma Sato reluctantly pulled out a dagger and charged towards the cabbage cluster.
"Huihui, hug me."
"it is good."
Shi Chen hugged Hui Hui from the front, and once she wrapped her arms around his neck, he took her directly to the outskirts of town.
"Eplosion!"
With a loud, childish shout, layers of overlapping magic circles converged in mid-air, followed by an expansion of magical power.
A deafening explosion rang out.
Boom!
The shockwave from the explosion crashed against the cabbages in the sky, instantly covering the ground with lush green leaves.
"Woolen cloth.:
Huihui nestled weakly in Shichen's arms: "I...I'm amazing, right?"
"That's impressive! Now it's my turn to shine."
Shi Chen affectionately ruffled her hair, then turned his palm forward.
"Eplosion (Explosion Magic)."
