NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 135.1
Daily × Level = Level Up?
That day, Yuuri suddenly thought to himself. “Come to think of it, what’s going on with my level and skill levels?”
Yes, I understand the urge to interject with, “What are you talking about now?” but please hold back. This is Yuuri, who, despite knowing that levels exist in this world after being transported here, doesn’t usually engage in combat or do anything that would require him to check his level. In fact, he had completely forgotten until just now that he even had a level. Please, just give up on him.
So, curious about his level and skill status, Yuuri decided to check by activating [God’s Eye]. Staring intently at his palm, the familiar appraisal screen (though he usually uses it wrong) appeared before his eyes.

“Huh? My level and skill levels have gone up?”
Yuuri muttered in surprise. Yes, his level had increased. He hadn’t done anything that would typically raise his level, so he was genuinely shocked when he casually checked.
That said, he wasn’t too surprised about his skill levels increasing. From what he’d heard, skills grow with use, accumulating experience over time. So, for Yuuri, whose skills were mostly domestic, it made sense that his skill levels would rise just from daily life.
The real question was, how did his level go up?
Yuuri hadn’t done anything that would typically earn experience points, like fighting monsters. In fact, thanks to his ∞ Luck stat, dangerous situations naturally avoided him wherever he went.
Still, if using skills could level them up, maybe using skills also earned experience points, Yuuri thought. Being a modern kid familiar with subculture, he could flexibly reason through such things.
However, the more pressing issue was the new jobs and skills that had appeared.
“Is Househusband even a job…? And why is my Alchemy skill level ∞…?”
He had no complaints about gaining the Alchemy skill and the Alchemist job. By using his Mixing and Smithing skills, Yuuri had naturally learned Alchemy. And though his use of the alchemy cauldron was… unconventional, it made sense that he’d gain the Alchemist job.
But he couldn’t wrap his head around Househusband being a job. Maybe, for full-time homemakers, there’s a Housewife job? The jobs in this world are strange, Yuuri thought nonchalantly. Not overthinking things is one of his virtues. Probably.
That said, unlike the Househusband issue, the ∞ Alchemy skill level was a whole other can of worms. Yuuri found himself having to critique his own appraisal results.
What even is ∞? If it were just [God’s Eye], he could accept it as a unique skill. But why did it apply to Alchemy, a skill ordinary people in this world have? He’d have preferred it if the skill level just said MAX.
In fact, he distinctly remembered that when he first started using the alchemy cauldron, he didn’t have the Alchemist job, and his Alchemy skill was just Level 1. He had checked because you can’t use the cauldron without the skill. So why was it ∞ now? He had no idea. Back then, he only checked his jobs and skills.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out. So, Yuuri came to a conclusion.
“I’ll consult Ali-san.”
When in trouble, consult a reliable guardian—that was his usual approach. Ali was the only one he could talk to about his status. After all, Ali was the only one who knew about his legendary Seeker job and his cheat skill, [God’s Eye], said to be granted by the gods.
If he told anyone else, they’d probably freeze in shock. Except for one scholar whose curiosity might explode.
So, deciding to act on his thought, Yuuri headed to Ali’s room, where he was likely doing paperwork. Knocking on the door, he heard a voice from inside.
