Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Chapter Thirteen: The Difference Between 'Normal' and 'Overpowered'

According to Freya's idea, even if Ling Shu doesn't choose the development abilities of 'Swordsman' and 'Mage', he can at most replace him with 'Hunter' to make up the numbers.

At the very least, choosing 'forging' to broaden one's future career development scope is understandable.

But what the heck is 'cooking'?

Moreover, he chose logistics for both of the two incredibly precious opportunities to choose [development capabilities]?

Freya felt that, as the chief deity of her clan, it was necessary for her to temporarily assume the role of 'adventurer's advisor'.

however……

"Trust me, the villa is by the sea."

When Ling Shu patted his chest and said those words in a consolation-like tone, Freya looked at his incredibly confident expression and became somewhat unsure of what to do.

a long time……

"Okay, I'll trust you this once."

This rarely speaking normally, sultry goddess sighed helplessly, "After all, this is your own business, and I respect your choice."

"Let me wait and see what kind of 'future' your current choice will shape."

With that, the matter was settled.

Empty, Lv.1→Lv.2, select [Development Ability] as: Forging (i).

Ying, Lv.1→Lv.2, choose [Development Ability] as: Cooking (i).

[Development capability] This can be continuously improved in the future.

However, the improvement speed is very... very slow.

Take Riveria, the current 'strongest mage in the city', as an example. When she was upgrading from Lv.1 to Lv.2, the first ability she chose to develop was 'magic'.

But even now, decades later, and seven years after Riveria became a Level 6, her own 'magic' level has only risen from 'i' to 'e'.

i, h, g, f, e, d, c, b, a, s

There are ten levels in total, from low to high.

Of course, above S-rank, there are SS and SSS ranks.

However, normal adventurers don't need to care about those areas that only "cheaters" can access.

After all, even Riveria, who was born into the elven royal family and had an outstanding innate magical talent, and Ota, the 'strongest adventurer in the city,' only had S-rank attributes.

And it cannot achieve 'S-level in all attributes'.

Even elites like them are ultimately still within the 'limits of normal adventurers' range.

By the way...

Similar to [Development Ability], adventurers' [Basic Abilities]... namely, the five major attributes of 'Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, and Magic Power', also have the same tiered system.

However, the latter is divided into more detailed categories than the former, using 'numerical values'.

其中：i是0~99、h是100~199、g是200~299……以此类推，a是800~899，s是900~999的区间。

Take Ling Shu's basic abilities as an example. His current strength is 123 points, which falls within the 'h' range.

The parchment reads: Strength (h-123).

Clearly, he belongs to the 'normal adventurer' category.

Kong and Ying both have SSS-level attributes (1099+), which is... well, that's called being cheated.

Based on this...

“Ling Shu, you should know that, under normal circumstances, when an adventurer’s basic ability reaches 'd' level, he can begin to pursue his own ‘great achievements’.”

Inside her residence on the top floor of the Tower of Babel, Freya glanced at Ling Shu, who had once again deactivated 'Airborne Firefly' and returned to his original form, and casually mentioned it.

Indeed, 'reaching level D (500+) in a certain basic ability' is one of the prerequisites for upgrading Divine Grace.

Another thing is to achieve 'great things'.

of course……

"Normally, barring unforeseen events, adventurers will raise their expectations a bit, raising a certain basic ability to 'C' level (600+) before attempting to achieve great things."

"And those elites won't be promoted casually before they get an 'S' or 'A' rating."

This is what is known as the 'accumulation' process.

in other words:

"Now, your (original) magic power has reached the 'd' grade rating (590 points), and it is very close to the 'c' grade."

Freya said seriously, "I think if you just 'mess around' like this for the past seven days, you'll be eligible to level up to Lv.2."

"A record of reaching Lv.2 in just half a month... Ha, that's even more terrifying than [Fiora]."

"but……"

She said seriously, "To be honest, if it were anyone else, I would definitely order them to continue 'accumulating' their talent, otherwise it would be a waste."

“But you are different. With that special magic, you don’t necessarily have to follow the conventional path of development.”

"So……"

Freya raised the key point: "Do you choose to level up quickly to unlock the limits of 'yourself (Void, Luminosity, Genshin Impact clones)', or do you choose to take a steady and methodical approach, pushing your own (main body) to its limits as well?"

Clearly, while Freya said that Ling Shu could take an unconventional path, she still hoped that the latter would hone his skills properly.

After all, putting aside the bigger picture, the "magic power" category is ultimately linked to Ling Shu's own aptitude.

But she clearly didn't want to make the decision for Ling Shu.

Just like when I chose [Development Ability], I don't intend to interfere too much with this 'younger brother's' personal wishes.

and so……

"We'll see."

Ling Shu had a clear idea: "At this stage, 'Aerial Fireflies' and 'Genshin Impact' have not yet been upgraded to their limits, so there is no need for me to rush things."

"As for what happened after that..."

He shrugged. "If conditions allow, I will definitely hone myself (the original body) to the extreme. Anyone who isn't stupid can see that."

"But if special circumstances arise, there is no need to act rigidly."

"It all depends on the situation."

Freya also agreed with his idea.

While striving for excellence, it doesn't become overly obsessed with it.

Such people may not reach the pinnacle, but they are definitely exceptionally good at hiding their true nature.

In the past, Freya, out of her own interest, would have mostly forced Ling Shu to become the one who reached the pinnacle in all aspects.

Like those stubborn parents who force their children to grow up as a "second life to make up for past regrets".

But now... or rather, a small 'incident' that just happened today has slightly changed her mood.

"What's wrong with simply wanting to live happily?"

of course……

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. Given the limitations of the surrounding environment and the trials that will inevitably come in the future, a little pressure (motivation) is still indispensable."

It's a very simple principle:

"If our place of refuge (the lower realm) is destroyed, where can we find any joy in life?"

With this thought in mind, Freya narrowed her eyes slightly.

next moment……

"Since that's your idea, I'll give you a little 'push'."

She was preparing to 'arrange' Ling Shu's future development environment and 'pave the way' for him.

So, the next day...

The record for the fastest leveling up in the city has been broken: New adventurers 'Sora' and 'Hotaru' from the Freya Familia have reached Lv.2 within a week!!!

Less than half a day after the guild posted this message...

The entire Orario was in an uproar.

Chapter Fourteen: The Terrifying 'Great Deed'

As for what specific 'paving the way' plan Freya was going to arrange for Ling Shu, the latter naturally had no idea.

Now, he only believes in one thing:

"Working like crazy! Working like crazy! And freaking...working like crazy!!!"

In his previous life, Ling Shu had read many fantasy stories about leveling up.

He couldn't understand why some protagonists, knowing that the surrounding environment was dangerous and their own strength was insufficient, yet having the opportunity to cultivate and become stronger, would still think about living their 'daily life' first.

First become stronger, then you can do whatever you want.

Within Orario, strength speaks for itself.

Might makes right.

As the first faction, Freya's Familia, and with the goddess Freya possessing top-tier 'charm' abilities, she can arbitrarily alter the memories of everyone in the entire city, regardless of their wishes.

And those who are weak... some can't even afford a full meal, and there are hundreds or thousands of tragic examples.

This fantastical world descended by the gods is not the law-abiding society where Ling Shu lived in his previous life.

He doesn't like to bully others, but he must strengthen his own foundation as soon as possible in order to avoid becoming the one who is 'bullied'.

If you fall behind, you will be bullied... This is a truth that our ancestors learned with their blood.

all in all……

"From now on, the dungeon will be my 'home' place."
