Although Iri received permission to go out, she also gained a set of equipment that could be considered divine.
Knowing the strength of the natives, Iri naturally understood that with this equipment, she could basically walk sideways in this world, except for certain specific items.
There was no need to use these things against the natives. Besides, her appearance was no different from a human's, and if she didn't court death by acting 'recklessly', it would be very easy to hide herself.
At this moment, after Iri returned to Nazarick directly through the ring, she immediately ran to the Arena.
Having just annihilated so many Ogres, she should be able to level up now, right? She should be able to use magic, right?
Thinking of this, Iri immediately forgot those rather "sad" things from earlier and directly teleported here upon her return.
Thinking about this, she felt that Ainz Papa was truly considerate. He immediately gave her a ring that allowed her to float around Nazarick. Xiao Di had fought for so long and still hadn't gotten one. It was truly unfair to Xiao Di, but let's not talk about that for now! The most important thing now is! Magic!
As soon as Iri arrived at the Arena, she walked with a grave expression to the center of the Arena. Normally, there should be nothing in the very center of the Arena, but because Iri had frequently practiced her skills here recently, many stone statues, which she used as imaginary targets, had been left there and never moved.
Iri raised her slightly trembling right hand, and her left hand directly gripped her right wrist. It should be possible now. After instantly killing so many Ogres, even a level 1 me should have leveled up. Let's test it with the most basic Fire Arrow!
Iri calmed herself, held her breath, and then...
"Fire Arrow!!" She loudly shouted the name of the skill in a very chuunibyou manner. She had the Aura and the stance, but nothing happened. Let alone a Fire Arrow, not even a tiny spark floated out.
Huh? Was her Aura not enough? Or was the method wrong?
So Iri changed her stance again, this time releasing with her left hand, but it still had no effect. Then she tried various incredibly chuunibyou poses to release, all to no avail. Finally, Iri, feeling 'forced' and helpless, even used Ainz Papa's personally taught, ridiculously accelerated casting motion, but it still had no effect whatsoever.
What's going on?
Now Iri was completely anxious. Could it be that the experience from those few Ogres wasn't enough for her to level up?
What kind of trash game is this!
No wonder it shut down! A level 1 character fighting so many monsters above their level and still not getting an upgrade!
How difficult must it be to level up in this inherently trashy game! No matter how black-hearted a game is, they wouldn't set it up like this, would they!
Hmm? Wait a minute!
Iri seemed to have discovered the problem. Calming down, Iri no longer cared about her image. Anyway, there was no one else here, so she just sat down on the ground with a plop and began to analyze the reason.
This time, she went out with a max-level Aura, meaning they were teammates, right?
Then the situation would be like a max-level expert taking a level 1 novice like herself out. Although it was the level 1 novice who fought the monsters, after the experience was converted and averaged, she probably only received 1-2 points. This is very likely! Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why she still couldn't cast even the most basic magic!
"A frustrated Little Yi-chan is so cute, I really want to go comfort her."
Shalltear hid to the side, biting her handkerchief and whispering, looking as if she was ready to rush out at any moment.
"Shalltear! Don't forget what Ainz-sama said before: give Princess Elizabeth space to grow on her own!" Cocytus was ready to stop Shalltear at any moment.
However, Iri did not notice this imminent battle and was still thinking about the next problem.
If such a party penalty mechanism exists, then even if she has permission to go out now, and You Li Big Sister accompanies her, it would still be the same!
She needed to find a way to solve this problem, otherwise, no matter how many monsters she fought, she still wouldn't level up, and all her effort would be wasted.
But Ainz Papa would absolutely not let her wander outside alone, so what should she do?
Should she directly challenge high-level monsters or people? She remembered that You Li Big Sister was a level 50+ character, right? Are there characters and monsters above level 50 in this world?
Thinking carefully, a Warrior Captain of the Kingdom, who was only level 30+ and used as a unit of measurement, and a level 35 Death Knight were almost enough to wipe out an empire.
Uh... where would she find monsters above level 50?
Does she have to go find trouble with Evil-Crushing Lolita or Death Knight? Iri could only imagine these two as being above level 50 right now.
Uh... Platinum Dragon Lord should also count, right? That abnormal Elf King wasn't mentioned much in the novel, so his level is unknown.
But besides Evil-Crushing Lolita, there's basically no chance of seeing the others, right? Besides, even if she did meet Metsukuni, would she have the heart to attack Evil-Crushing Lolita, who is just as much an Ainz fanatic as herself?
It would be better to find a way to ditch You Li Big Sister when going out and then mess around on her own. Hmm! That's what she'll do! Iri considered it and made her decision.
However, the optimistic Iri was completely mistaken in reality.
Iri was not the only one worried about her level; Ainz was too.
After Iri bid farewell to Ainz and returned to Nazarick, Ainz also returned to the Throne Room of Nazarick and pulled up Nazarick's menu information table.
Although many in-game functions had been lost after transmigrating, Nazarick's management menu was still usable. When Shalltear was brainwashed, it was because the management menu was still functioning normally that it was discovered.
Since Iri's birth, Ainz had come here every day to check Nazarick's management page.
Because after Iri was born, named, and registered, Iri's full name prominently appeared in the Nazarick management tier.
It was clear that after registration, she was automatically defaulted to this position by the system, which meant that, for Nazarick itself, Iri and Ainz were existences of the same level.
During the time Iri was learning from the Guardians, Ainz would open the page to check Iri's status. However, from Iri's birth until now, Iri's status data has never changed.
Elizabeth Ooal Gown.
Race: Unknown
Position: Princess of Nazarick Great Tomb
Attribute: Unknown
Racial Level: Unknown lv.1
Job Level: None
Abilities: Unknown.
It was still the exact same interface as the first time he opened the menu and saw Iri's data, with no changes whatsoever.
In other words, after Iri killed those Ogres today, Iri did not level up. Ainz had always wanted to find an opportunity to test whether training in this world could break through the game's level 100 cap.
Whether it was possible to break through job restrictions to learn skills, such as martial arts that didn't exist in the original Yggdrasil world. Although he had already sent Aura to learn them, Aura was, after all, a native creature of this world, which is why Ainz arranged for a Death Knight to learn with her. If they could master them, it would greatly enhance Nazarick's combat power.
Now, there was another experimental subject: his daughter, Iri.
At this moment, just as Ainz was wondering why Iri hadn't leveled up today, on the Guardians' management page next to him, Shalltear and Cocytus's entries simultaneously flashed red.
Ainz naturally understood what this red light meant: critical condition! How was this possible!
