Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Don't worry! I'm very rich!"

"If that's not enough, just wander around the underground labyrinth and you'll have enough!"

Fang Rui gave a thumbs up and flashed a bright smile.

"Wait a minute! The gods forbid entering the dungeon!" Loki stopped Fang Rui's audacious idea.

"Tch!" Fang Rui curled his lip upon hearing this, then said, "Since that's the case, let's take some money from Loki! As a partner, is there any problem with giving him some money?"

Under their gazes, Loki's lips twitched: "...No problem."

'I've lost the money to buy alcohol~'

Loki sighed inwardly, but showed no outward sign of it.

The medicinal bath ended half an hour later.

Ais and the others returned to their respective rooms to rest, while Fang Rui and Mihe checked for any remaining drug effects.

"The residual medicinal effect is within the normal range, so it seems that it can be used normally."

After saying that, Fang Rui and Mihe left the Loki Familia and went to the Hephaestus Familia's weapon shop to discuss the acquisition with the owner of the house next door.

The acquisition process was not smooth, mainly because the other party's business was doing well and they had no intention of selling.

However, under Fang Rui's aggressive spending spree, the shop was eventually purchased, albeit somewhat exceeding the budget...

"How should we decorate?" Mihe asked.

"We can copy the layout of the pharmacy and add some decorations."

Fang Rui also didn't have any good suggestions, but offered one that wasn't really a suggestion.

"Hmm." Mihe wasn't too concerned about this; as long as the quality of the products mattered, that was enough.

After the discussions were completed, Mihe went to find someone to renovate the shop, while Fang Rui went to the Tower of Babel to study the underground labyrinth.

Speaking of which, besides the entrance to the underground labyrinth located on the first level of the Tower of Babel, are there any other ways to enter the underground labyrinth?

For example, burrowing underground?

Thinking this way, Fang Rui was tempted to give it a try, but opening a new entrance would definitely cause new trouble...

Therefore, it is better to consult with someone before putting anything into practice.

Restraining the urge to drill a hole in the ground, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the Tower of Babel.

Such a tall building, and the entrance to an underground labyrinth, could not possibly be an ordinary building. Even when sealed, Fang Rui could still use some spells, just like Freya, who, even when sealed, could still see the soul radiance of others.

"The power of the gods?"

In Fang Rui's view, the surface of the Tower of Babel shone with divine power, likely due to effects such as sealing or strengthening.

However, the core of the entire seal was not the Tower of Babel, so Fang Rui did not know more information.

"Indeed, if we're going to study underground labyrinths, it's more appropriate to go inside, especially to the deeper levels..."

With that, Fang Rui turned and left, preparing to find a way to enter the underground labyrinth without attracting its attention.

"Another day, another day when no one wants to join my familia!"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from the side. Fang Rui looked towards the source of the voice and saw a girl with distinctive attire come into view.

Her long black hair was styled into pigtails, and her blue eyes conveyed a sense of loss. Her appearance and physique matched the description of "petite and delicate," except for her full bust and loli-like figure...

The pure white short dress was backless, with a blue ribbon tied around the arm and passing under the chest...

"Hestia?"

Matching the image of someone in his memory, Fang Rui asked tentatively.

"Huh? Who are you?!"

Hearing someone call his name, Hestia raised her head and looked at Fang Rui, asking him a question.

"I am Fang Rui, a new god who just arrived in Orario!"

I originally intended to say "human," but after thinking about certain things, I changed it to "god."

"So...you don't have a clan either?!"

Hestia's focus was clearly off, and she seemed somewhat excited.

"You're right." Fang Rui was somewhat speechless.

Upon hearing this, Hestia became even more excited.

"What brings you here? If you're asking about employment in Orario, I can guide you."

Hestia puffed out her chest, making her breasts appear even fuller, and her tone was surprisingly proud.

“No need, I have money, and I also have a place to live and a shop,” Fang Rui refused.

Hestia's expression froze, unsure of what to say, as if petrified...

"If that's the case, then what brings you here?" Hestia was very disappointed and ashamed.

Thinking back on my previous behavior, I feel a little ashamed.

"Ask if you'd like to work at my shop."

It was originally a chance encounter with Hestia, but now that Hestia has asked about it, Fang Rui suddenly has another idea...

“Your shop? What shop?” Hestia asked.

"A cosmetics store! The job involves explaining the effects of cosmetics and collecting money. It's not easy, but it's not tiring either."

After listening to Fang Rui's explanation, Hestia still didn't understand what was going on. What were cosmetics?

"Simply put, it's a beauty and skin-nourishing medicine."

Fang Rui could see the doubt in Hestia's expression, so he explained, "The effect is very obvious, and there are no side effects."

Hestia raised an eyebrow slightly, grasping the key point: "Do the shop assistants get discounts when buying cosmetics? And how much are their salaries?"

There is no doubt that Hestia has already made a move.

Even goddesses cannot resist the allure of beauty and skincare.

"The base salary is 50,000, plus a 1% commission. Simply put, the more cosmetics you sell, the more you earn."

"Happy cooperation!"

Hester Adam immediately reached out, grabbed Fang Rui's hand, and shook it forcefully a few times.

Since being driven out of her home by Hephaestus, her living conditions had plummeted. Now that she had the chance to return to her former life, she naturally wanted to seize the opportunity.

"Pleasant to work with."

Fang Rui smiled and said, "Come with me! I'll show you the shop address."

The two arrived at the weapon shop of the Hephaestus Familia... and in the shop next door, Mih's efficiency was very high; renovations had already begun...

The staff members are members of the Mih clan, not professional carpenters or stonemasons.

"Hey! Mih! What are you doing here?"

Hestia spotted a familiar face, immediately hopped over, and gently patted Mih on the shoulder.

"It's Hestia! Do you want to work for me?"

As a friend, Mih knew Hestia's situation and, now that he had the ability to help his friend, immediately extended an invitation.

"I've already promised someone else," Hestia said with a regretful expression.

“It’s okay. Mich and I are business partners. Giving me work is the same as giving him work.”

Fang Rui walked up to Hestia and nodded slightly to Mih as a greeting.

"Eh!" Mihe was somewhat surprised to hear Fang Rui's words. "Fang Rui, you know Hestia?"

As a friend, Mihe knew Hestia quite well. Known as the "Virgin Goddess," she had very few male friends and would never accept an invitation from a strange man.

"No! Today is the first time I've met her," Fang Rui explained.

"Eh!" Mih was shocked again.

"Huh? Are you that surprised?" Fang Rui asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course I'm surprised!"

Mihe was about to explain when Hestia interrupted her, saying, "When do you open for business?"

She still has more than ten kilograms of potatoes at home, which, according to Mih’s answer, will be used in different ways.

"About a week!" Mihe gave an approximate timeframe.

Although shop renovation and medicinal herb acquisition can be carried out simultaneously, the preparation of medicines must be done later.

“A week…” Hestia nodded slightly.

With a week's buffer time, she decided to go to North Street to buy a few more days' worth of hash browns, and of course, she would come to the shop to help out in the afternoons.

After a brief conversation, the group parted ways...

Hestia temporarily joined forces with Fang Rui, since she had nothing else to do at the moment.

"Where do you live?" Fang Rui remembered that Hestia lived in the ruins area of ​​Orario.

In a once-prosperous city, there was an area that remained in ruins, never to be rebuilt…

That already says it all!

It's unclear whether this was intentional or if there are historical issues in that area.

“Over there, there’s a ruin…” Hestia said, pointing in a direction. “I live in the church in the ruins area.”

"It's a bit far!" Fang Rui pretended to think for a moment, then asked, "Would you like to stay at my house?"

Considering Hestia's identity, Fang Rui added, "You don't need to worry about anything else, Loki and I are neighbors..."

"Uh..." When Hestia heard the word "Loki," she was about to say something, but she forced herself to stop halfway through, swallowing back the words that were about to come out.

"Let me think about it..."

For some reason, Hestia felt that Fang Rui had a high level of basic trust and did not suspect that Fang Rui had ulterior motives.

What could be the reason?
