Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

The territory of another clan, the Hephaestus clan.

"Two attributes: 'not bad' and 'changeable'?" Hephaestus stared at the order, showing no sign of distress.

"Not bad" is simple, but "change"...

Tsubaki, the leader of the Hephaestus Familia, known as the "One-Eyed Master," is somewhat troubled. Her personal strength and forging skills are at the pinnacle of the Hephaestus Familia. She is Orario's top blacksmith and possesses the strength of a first-class adventurer.

With her current strength, the success rate of forging weapons with "indestructible" attributes is quite high, but the "changeable" attributes...

We've never encountered an order like this before, nor have we ever tried forging this type of weapon, so we can't guarantee success on the first try.

The most crucial point...

Is this "change" arbitrary, or does it vary between a few fixed weapon types?

The question Chun raised was crucial. The other blacksmiths exchanged glances for a moment, then turned to look at the clan member who had accepted the order, asking with their eyes.

“Emmm…” Under everyone’s gaze, the member of the clan thought seriously for a moment before answering, “The guest didn’t say.”

"Is this a problem that wasn't mentioned?!" a blacksmith yelled in frustration, waving his hands like claws. "You should have asked clearly!"

"A customer comes into the store to buy something, and you don't even ask them what they want to buy?! Is this your first time running the store?!"

"Yes!"

"It really is true..." Several senior blacksmiths covered their faces with their hands, speechless.

"What should we do?" Chun looked at her god.

“Choose 'change freely'!” Hephaestus said. “The other side didn’t specify the conversion between the different weapons, which means it’s 'change freely'.”

"That makes sense." Chun nodded slightly. "It's quite difficult, but very interesting!"

"In the past, people who came to the store to order weapons usually bought fairly standard weapons. This is the first time someone has made such a request."

"The person who orders this weapon should be proficient in using multiple weapons and have a versatile fighting style..."

Hephaestus did not participate in the conversation; instead, he was contemplating how to forge weapons…

The other members of the clan were also discussing Fang Rui...

As for Hestia, who had not yet established a familia, she stared at the ceiling, clenched her fist, and said, "The competition has increased~"

A not-so-peaceful night has passed...

The next day, early in the morning.

After several hours of quiet, Orario erupted in chaos once more. Numerous adventurers poured out from all directions, converging near the Adventurers' Guild before entering the underground labyrinth…

Fang Rui stood on a street corner near the Adventurers' Guild, quietly watching the dense crowd...

"There are so many adventurers!"

With that thought in mind, Fang Rui left the place, intending to return to the mansion he had purchased.

A dozen hours is enough to clean out a room.

Come to think of it, he wandered around the city all night and didn't go back to the hostel at all, so the accommodation fee... was a waste!

Upon arriving at the mansion's entrance, the workers were still busy. Under the lure of money, they worked in three shifts, displaying high enthusiasm and efficiency.

Just as Fang Rui was about to open the door, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Ah! It's the new neighbor!"

Just by listening to the voice, you can tell that the owner is a lively girl.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Fang Rui saw a group of people looking at him. Standing in the center was a beautiful blonde girl, a true beauty.

To the left of the blonde girl is a dark-haired girl. She is leaning slightly forward with her hands on her hips. Her chest is very flat, with almost no curves. It's a pity that there is no beautiful scenery there.

To her right is another black-haired girl who bears a striking resemblance to the other black-haired girl. The most noticeable difference is her figure; this girl has a much better figure than the other black-haired girl.

Behind the three were a silver-haired werewolf and an orange-haired elf...

In short, there are quite a lot of them.

"Huh?!" Bert's eyes widened when he saw his neighbor's face.

"It's you?!"

Bert's exclamation drew the attention of others.

Tiona looked curious: "Bert, do you know him?"

"The god I mentioned last night is him..."

Upon hearing this, the others were stunned; the unexpected answer was astonishing.

Only Ais's eyes lit up. She quickly walked up to Fang Rui and said in a fast voice, "Hello, God! Do you have a way to make me stronger quickly?"

The others were stunned again upon hearing this. The first to recover, the elf girl Lefia, suddenly appeared beside Ais, pulled her behind her, and apologized to Fang Rui: "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty!"

"It's nothing." Fang Rui waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't care.

Fang Rui turned his gaze to Ais, noticing that her expression remained unchanged. After a moment of eye contact, he answered Ais's question: "If you're asking if there's a way to quickly increase your strength, I can tell you clearly... yes, there are many!"

'Many kinds!!!'

Not only Ais, but everyone else was also taken aback.

Before anyone could ask anything, Fang Rui spoke up first: "But I have no reason to tell you."

Ais and the others' mood immediately dropped, and they felt somewhat disappointed.

'That's true~'

'The other party wasn't an ally, but a strange god.'

"Goodbye!" With that, Fang Rui pushed open the door and entered the mansion to check on the progress of the repairs.

Ais and the others exchanged glances for a moment. Bert sent the lower-level adventurers to train in the underground labyrinth, while they went to find Loki and tell her about it.

Loki was still asleep when the group rushed into her bedroom and quickly woke her up, though not very gently…

Loki rubbed his face and muttered, "That's outrageous! I'm a god!"

“We’ve met that god!” Bert said, ignoring Loki’s words.

"That one?" After sleeping, Loki had forgotten about last night.

"That god who recently came to Orario..." Lefia was speechless.

"Oh~~~" Loki exclaimed in realization, "Where did I see that?"

"Next door, he's a neighbor."

"Huh?!" Loki was startled and instantly sobered up. "They're right next door to my house. Could it be that they've taken a liking to my adorable cats..."

"Get your act together!" Riveria, who had appeared out of nowhere, interrupted Loki.

"Hey! Riveria, what brings you here?" Tiona asked in surprise.

“How could I not care when I saw you rushing back in such a panic?” Riveria said.

"Does a deity live next door? I should go and pay him a visit!"

Finn, the leader of the Loki Familia who arrived with Riveria, was seriously considering what gift to prepare.

"Let's go together! Now that we know, we should definitely pay them a visit."

With that, Rivera led everyone out of the room, and a moment later a voice drifted back on the wind: "Oh, right, take Loki with you!"

"Bert, tell me about your meeting!"

Bert recounted the meeting in detail, with Tiona and Tione adding to the account.

"There are many ways to improve one's strength?" Loki stroked his chin thoughtfully.

To be fair, most gods possess methods to quickly enhance someone's strength, even if they are sealed away...

But the questions remain: is it safe? How much of an improvement can it provide? Is it permanent?

There are all sorts of issues to consider, and the power gained by increasing your adventure level is the most stable and safest.

'I'd like to see what their method is.'

Loki's expression was inscrutable. If the other party was malicious, don't blame me for ganging up on them.

The group arrived at Fang Rui's residence, exchanged a few words with the busy workers, and then entered the residence, arriving at the living room.

"Hello, I just moved here and haven't prepared any tea or pastries. Please forgive me."

"We came uninvited, so there's no need to worry about it..."

After Fang Rui and Riveria exchanged a few polite words, Loki suddenly interjected, saying, "I heard you have a way to quickly increase your strength. Want to make a deal with us?"

Which methods do you want to buy?

Fang Rui and Loki stared at each other for a moment, and Fang Rui sensed that Loki seemed to have ill intentions.

“You could say that,” Loki said, not denying it.

"Selling you some methods is fine, but I have no interest in worldly possessions. What are you prepared to offer in return?"

"Wait a minute! Money is very useful, whether it's for developing your clan or anything else..."

Before Loki could finish speaking, Fang Rui raised his hand and interrupted, "But I have no intention of establishing a clan."

"Hmm..." After a moment of silence, Loki exclaimed, "You're not planning to establish a Familia? Then what were you doing down to the mortal realm?!"

"I was bored, so I came down to play and have some fun..."

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other for a moment, their gazes deep and thoughtful. Then, without prior arrangement, they simultaneously extended their right hands and clasped hands.

"Yes!" The two looked at each other and nodded emphatically.

'Comrades!'

The two people's thoughts seemed to resonate in the hearts of others, and the expressions of the group gradually became subtle, somewhat helpless...

Chapter 354 The Deal with Loki

After reaching an agreement with Loki, Fang Rui's attitude changed, and he said softly, "I'll give you two methods to enhance your strength for free. They're safe, stable, and there won't be any problems."

"How can it be free! Pay up! You have to pay up!" Loki patted his flat chest, the "thump thump thump" sound was dull, and he was quite sure that his chest would be dented from her patting.
