God of Tricksters

Chapter 680 - Route Discussion

The next day.

Theo opened his eyes with a tired expression. Even though he had slept for six hours, he still felt tired.

He was the last one to sleep, so it was already morning the moment he woke up.

"Mhm." Theo let out a moan while stretching his hands upward, trying to wake his body up.

After a moment, he finally came out of his sleeping bag and left the tent, finding Agata cooking a soup.

"Good morning." Agata smiled while grabbing a bowl. "You should wash your face first."

"Y-yeah." Theo nodded. Before going, Theo scratched the back of his head and said, "Sorry, but I still can't give you an answer."

"I already said that you don't need to answer it. It's fine. I will be waiting for you until you're ready." Agata waved her hand and assured Theo.

Last night, she had also thought about it. Instead of putting Theo on the spot, she decided to work on his fear and trust issue first.

She wouldn't let time be the only one healing him from those two problems. She decided to get more involved to make sure Theo could overcome those two problems.

This was her goal to get Theo's heart. So, she tried to act as calm as possible like nothing happened, trying to make sure Theo didn't put unnecessary thought during their journey.

Hearing her answer and seeing her assuring face, Theo finally went to the river to wash his face and returned.

Agata handed him his soup as Ava had already started eating before him. Ava simply believed that Theo wouldn't have a problem with this, so there was no use in worrying about him.

While eating, Theo said, "We should get the report ready."

"Don't worry. I am halfway done. I should be able to finish it today."

"In that case, we will stay here for one more day. We have time to spare anyway, so it won't be that much of a problem."

"Yep, that will be great."

"Hmm, I will send my clone back in that case. With that, they will need to wait until we're back before questioning us about the report. This will allow the dwarves to solve their wall problem."

"Yes. That's the best option. By the way, I have a question." Agata furrowed her eyebrows and opened her Skylink. "Take a look at this."

She sat down next to Theo while showing the map.

"This is Destron Wilderness… Our next destination." Theo glanced at her. "So, what's your question?"

She tapped the zoom out button a few times, showing a map preview from their location.

There were a few markers for their journey. This was the route they were going to take, and Theo understood those few markers as he had reviewed the plan previously.

She tapped it once more and the markers disappeared. A few small bars, filled with words, appeared on the screen.

"These are the missions from the temple, right?"

"Yes. Since we were ahead of schedule, I'm planning to slow down and finish all these missions. This will allow us to complete more missions than our original plan.

"Of course, there is another reason for this. I would like to scout the area around those points to search for a small nest or something. This will allow us to level up more effectively even though we're going to be a bit more tired…" Agata explained her change of plan.

Theo frowned as if he understood what she planned to do. "I guess the dwarves have changed our course of actions…"

"Yes. Now that I have this shawl, I can fight a stronger opponent. So, instead of concentrating on the hunt in our destination, why don't we take our time to kill the nearby monsters?" Agata nodded, admitting that the dwarves indeed influenced them.

"That's a good idea." Theo agreed with her plan. "Though, I will add one thing. Since we're planning to take our time, we need a route near a water source. Hence, I'm going to fix some of the routes."

"I see. I will take care of it."

"Nah, it's fine. I will do it. You should take care of the report first."

"Ah, okay."

"Also, there are a few things you need to know." Theo pointed at several missions. "First of all, you want to line up the monsters along the route first."

Theo pointed at one area where there were three markers for the missions. They were scattered around the area, so Theo started linking them up from the closest location to the furthest one.

He made sure that the latest location would link up to another mission in the next area, allowing them to create one smooth route.

There was also a mission where they needed to choose between two sides, and Theo immediately picked something that required them to kill a lot of monsters to increase their levels.

He modified the route a little bit and showed it to Agata.

After five minutes, he finally said, "These are the things you need to consider when making the route. At least, this is the one working for me. After all, I'm a bit different from other groups."

"Yes. I can understand that." She took a few mental notes, knowing what she should do when she planned their next route.

"That's all for today. We will stay here for another day and set off early in the morning."

"Got it."

After coming to an agreement, they hurriedly finished their own work.

While working, Theo was wondering whether he should buy a Cubicar. It would allow him to work inside the Cubicar and bring more supplies.

Even though they had thrown away some empty spice bottles, the space was soon filled with Material and Skill Cards, so Theo was seriously considering the need for Cubicar.

Ultimately, he rejected the idea as the route they could take using the Cubicar was vastly different. It was hard to bring them through a mountain for a shortcut even with his Telekinesis.

It might be because of what happened yesterday, but he became more conscious of the group's well-being.
