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

"Huh? It really is! Yingying has a light floral scent that I've never smelled before. It smells quite nice."

The little angel looked on with envy, "When she lived with us before, I never saw Yingying go to the bathroom... I see, what a convenient 'skill'!"

Beside him, Tiony couldn't help but think to himself, "Just how many 'skills' do you have?"

At this time...

"Excuse me, everyone, Ying and I will have to excuse ourselves for a moment."

Ling Shu (Kong) pointed towards the top of the Tower of Babel, "We need to report the details of this 'expedition' to Goddess Freya as soon as possible."

He brought this up...

"Yes, I understand."

Finn smiled and said, "We also need to report to Loki."

"Once you're done on your end, you're welcome to come to 'Twilight Mansion' anytime. We'll always be happy to have you."

Upon hearing this…

"Yes, yes... By the way."

Ling Shu (Kong) clapped his hands. "I know there's a tavern on the main street of West Street with very delicious food. As a way of thanking everyone for your help these past few days, Ying and I would like to invite everyone to a banquet there tomorrow. I wonder if Finn or you are free?"

"This..."

Finn smiled. "We (the Loki Familia) also have a celebration feast the day after each expedition."

"However... it's alright, it's rare to see such a kind gesture from you and Ying, so we'll accept your invitation this time."

There was something he didn't say—

This expedition suffered heavy losses because it encountered a particularly troublesome "anomaly" on the 28th floor alone, preventing the main force from even attempting to explore the "unreached territory." Adding to the difficulties, a significant amount of supplies were lost...

Finn had originally planned to use some underhanded tactics to plunder Loki's savings for a party.

Now...

"Why not agree to something that benefits both of us?" thought a certain cunning little warrior.

In short, it was after both sides reached this agreement that they "hit it off"...

"See you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

When the emotionless girl Ais finally bids farewell to Ying, the group, belonging to different clans, finally part ways temporarily.

Ling Shu, who had been in the 'Airborne Firefly' state for several days, was just considering whether to teleport on the spot to save himself from walking... when he suddenly spotted a tall figure that seemed to have been waiting there for a long time behind a green tree.

Ota.

Well, according to the Catman vice-commander 'Allen Fromor': this guy looks like a load-bearing pillar and is completely bad at hiding himself.

"Hmm, although the description is quite provocative, it hits the nail on the head."

Look, that green tree can't hide Ota's burly body at all.

Moreover, the other adventurers nearby seemed to be frightened by his aura and all walked away.

This directly created a vacuum zone.

But Otta was completely oblivious to all of this... or rather, utterly indifferent.

At that moment, it seemed that the other side had confirmed that Ling Shu had also seen him, and that the Loki Familia members had already gone far away, so this taciturn warrior simply walked over.

When he stood still in front of Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying...

"The goddess wishes to see you."

"know."

Ling Shu nodded in response, then turned and moved away. "Hmm?"

Seeing Otta standing there, he turned around and asked instinctively, "Aren't you coming along?"

"I am only responsible for conveying divine will."

"Oh."

Ling Shu roughly understood.

It seems that Freya doesn't want more people to know about 'herself'.

Even Ota, who was 'on the scene' at the time, was no longer allowed to access any more related secrets.

Thinking about this...

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ling Shu (Kong) looked at Ota and said something politely, then walked towards the Tower of Babel with Ying.

Watching the departing figures of the brother and sister...

"...Not enough."

Ota's voice was deep, "But it has reached a 'new level'."

"Very good, you have lived up to the goddess's expectations."

After muttering this nonsensical remark to himself, Ota turned and left.

Today, he is going to prepare supplies.

Then, he embarked on a solo expedition into the 'deep'...

******

More than ten minutes later.

The Tower of Babel, currently the tallest building in the world, was built a thousand years ago by the master craftsman Daedalus.

Inside, there is a 'magic stone elevator' powered by magic stones.

This saved a lot of time climbing stairs.

Unfortunately, the area above the twentieth floor is the 'Realm of the Gods,' which is not open to ordinary people.

There is no magic stone elevator there.

If Ling Shu wants to go to the top floor to see Freya, he also has to climb the building.

"Speaking of which, could it be that this goddess sister stays on the Tower of Babel because she's too lazy to climb the stairs?" His thoughts drifted a bit.

Fortunately, even after Ling Shu was deactivated from the 'Airborne Firefly' state, he was not of ordinary physical condition and would not be like a certain Hermes (named by name) who almost got sent back to the Heavenly Realm just by climbing a building.

In short, when he returned to that familiar room after a long absence...

"You've come!"

"Uh, shouldn't I have come?"

"???"

Freya, seated on her throne by the French windows, tilted her head in confusion and looked this way.

"Ahem, just kidding, sis."

Ling Shu took the opportunity to deactivate the 'Airborne Firefly' state. After his figure returned to its original appearance, he subconsciously twisted his neck, stretched, and loosened his seemingly stiff muscles.

Of course, this was just his unintentional misperception.

The fact is: no matter how long the 'aerial firefly' state lasts, the body will not become stiff or atrophy due to 'not moving'.

From this perspective alone, Ling Shu could actually directly imitate DC's Black Adam and achieve an alternative form of 'immortality' through a split-transformation technique.

Well, it's a bit too early to talk about these things now.

In short, right now, Freya saw him approaching...

"This expedition has only been going on for a little over a week, and you're back already?"

"Yes, the expedition team was ambushed by the Remton Serpent on the 28th floor, and most of their supplies were destroyed, making it impossible to continue into the 'Unreached Territory'."

"That day, I also fell to the 37th floor with Lefia... uh, that is, the [Thousand Magic Elf]... After being rescued, the team has been active in the 'lower level' area for the past few days. I guess Finn is planning to recoup some of his losses."

Ling Shu rambled on and on...

Freya remained seated with her legs crossed, listening intently.

A while later...

"...It's a bit of a pity that Goliath (the floor master of the 17th floor) has already been defeated by the adventurers of Rivera, otherwise I would have liked to try to 'solo kill' it."

After Ling Shu finished speaking, he saw Freya looking at him with great interest and smiling. He first leaned back slightly.

then……

"Hey sis, long time no see! Want some skewers (wild mushroom and chicken skewers)?"

"..."

Freya was slightly taken aback by the sudden change of topic.

But then...

"want!"

She gave a very expectant answer.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: A One-Man Family

Speaking of which, what is it like when the main gods of other clans update the [ability values] of their own children (clan members)?

As for the Loki Familia... well, a certain red-haired, Kansai-accented, squinty-eyed, flat-chested, mischievous female evil god (what a long prefix!) would definitely swing her ten fingers with the dexterity of a Cthulhu tentacle, making "hehehehe" sounds like an old driver, while drooling from the corner of her mouth...

Huh? You mean Bert is the one updating the [ability stats] now?

That's alright then.

Furthermore, regarding the Hestia Familia in the original future trajectory of the current world...

Hmm, it should be pretty similar to the scene where a certain Smailan was shoved into a swamp by his ancient predecessor, Kassapa, in his first battle.

As for Ling Shu...
