It's worth noting that during that previous 'expedition,' he (Kong) accidentally fell into the 'deep' area with Lefia, and he killed quite a few monsters with potential Lv.4 abilities there.

Putting aside everything else, the 'Lemton Serpent' alone destroyed two of them.

Even so, Ling Shu himself still failed to meet the conditions for upgrading from Lv.1 to Lv.2.

Then let's raise the standard even higher...

"Does this mean I have to solo kill 'Goliath' to level up to Lv.2?"

If that's really the case, then that's absolutely awful.

A normal monster with potential ability Lv.4 and a floor master with potential ability Lv.4... these two are completely different concepts.

As a colossal living structure, why would the dungeon have a separate incubation point for each floor master?

Isn't it all to give these BOSS-level monsters enough face?

"Ah~"

Welf and Ling Shu (empty) both sighed at the same time.

They both felt emotionally exhausted.

At this time...

"Huh? That's not a butt... uh, isn't that Mr. Sora, meow?"

A voice, clearly belonging to a cat-person woman, came from beside me.

Welcome!

Chloe stood at the entrance of her tavern, a very professional smile on her face.

But the barely concealed desire in his slightly narrowed eyes... was a little frightening.

Wait a minute, you just licked your lips, didn't you?

Holy crap.

"Ahem, I think we should go somewhere else for dinner..."

"Meow meow meow?"

Just as the delicious grilled fish that was about to be eaten was almost snatched away by the cat owner, Luo Yi simply slipped and flashed behind Ling Shu (Kong), pushing his back and walking into the 'Abundant Mistress' shop.

However, as long as she doesn't cause too much trouble, the shopkeepers, including Seele and even Mia's mother, won't stop her.

Because this constitutes 'soliciting business'.

Extremely high priority.

Ha, what a shady establishment.

have no choice……

"This... you don't recognize the face. Please find a seat anywhere."

Chloe mentioned this to Welf, who looked completely bewildered, and then continued her 'soliciting customers' activities.

She is Lv.4, and in terms of basic abilities alone, Ling Shu (Kong) is no match for her.

And just like that...

"Hey, isn't this the [Stars] kid?"

When Ling Shu (Kong) was forcibly pushed to sit down at the bar, Mia's mother, who had already noticed the 'situation', rolled up her sleeves and slammed a large pot of stewed meat in front of him with a 'bang'.

"Adventurers should eat their fill. Look at your small frame, there's more if you're not full."

"..."

Ling Shu (Kong) was both amused and exasperated.

Look to the side...

"Hee hee~"

Seele was covering her mouth and chuckling, her eyes curving into crescents.

It was very pleasant.

Chapter Ninety-Three: A Storm is Brewing...

Perhaps because she had been properly scolded by Mia's mother before, when Ling Shu (Kong) brought Welf to 'The Abundant Mistress' for a meal this time, Krooi did not do anything 'scary' again.

Of course, it's currently the peak time for evening rest, and as a shop assistant, she doesn't have much free time to slack off.

So, after a 'thrilling but safe' period of enjoying the food...

"You should get some rest tonight and think about the 'upgrade' tomorrow."

"Besides, there's no use worrying about these things now. If your training results don't meet the standards, it's all for nothing."

"I'm just helping you prepare mentally. After all, having a goal will give you more motivation to strive towards it in the future."

"Okay, sure."

The dinner cost several thousand falies. After eating and drinking his fill, Welf took the large package containing the 'multi-purpose shovel' sample from Ling Shu (Kong), said goodbye, and began to walk towards the Hephaestus Familia's residence in the 'Urban Second District - Industrial Zone'.

As for Ling Shu (Kong) himself, who is now completely free...

"Now that 'night' has fallen, Ying's side... wow, they've already started advancing to even lower levels."

Standing on the street in front of the 'Abundant Mistress' shop, he briefly sensed the situation on the other side of the silly sister and instantly understood.

As mentioned before, in addition to serving as a buff point for the 'Starry Abyss', Ying will also strive to challenge the current limit of the floors that can be reached by a single player.

Ling Shu's initial goal was the first floor of the 'deep' area—the 37th floor.

He felt that, if conditions allowed, Luminous should be able to continue exploring deeper with the help of 'Genshin Impact'.

At least……

"Two floors down, the 39th floor is the first 'safe floor' in the 'deep' area."

"If Ying can successfully reach there, we can temporarily use it as a transit point and try to establish a base that only I know exists."

"At that time..."

As we all know, although monsters from other floors may 'run around' into 'safe floors,' under normal circumstances, monsters will not hatch inside them, and the dungeon will not 'eat' the creatures inside.

So, now that Ling Shu can set up 'two' teleportation anchor points, what if he could also have Ying Mei set up a location there...?

"This will make my future 'personal expeditions' much easier."

Speaking of which, there's something that's a real shame.

Honestly, if Paimon's 'time stop' ability weren't so resource-intensive, Ling Shu could have significantly increased his efficiency in exploring the dungeon on his own.

Now, the only option is to first get 'myself' to the corresponding location, and then summon Paimon to take pictures of the teleportation anchor point.

"Sigh, be content."

He quipped to himself, "Other adventurers don't have such good conditions."

At this moment, seeing that the 'Abundant Mistress' restaurant had already begun clearing the tables, for his own safety, Ling Shu (Kong) quickly left.

Before long, they returned to their special dormitory inside the Freya Familia's base, 'Battlefield'.

Nothing more was said that night...

The next day... well, strictly speaking, for the next three whole days, Ling Shu (Kong) went to the dungeon with Welf every day to fulfill his previous promise and train the latter in greatsword skills.

At the same time, it makes an effort to accumulate the final '1' point of 'magic power' value for the main body.

As for Ying... just as Ling Shu (Kong) expected, starting from the 'lower level' area, her individual progress gradually slowed down.

We've only just reached the 37th floor.

Several rather dangerous situations occurred during this period.

Fortunately, because Ying was acting alone, unlike the Loki Familia, which had too many people in large groups to manage everything due to the need to transport large quantities of supplies...

In addition, she now has two more Genshin Impact allies at her disposal... so after each close call, she has managed to escape danger and overcome the challenges.

In the past few days, Ying has made full use of the mana regeneration efficiency bonus of the 'Starry Abyss', and by 'hiding during the day and going out at night', she not only has the opportunity to summon more Genshin Impact clones to help her, but also manages to stagger her actions with Ling Shu (Kong) so that they do not interfere with each other.

By the way, Ling Shu's luck has been really bad these past few days. When it comes to gacha pulls, he's been a 'weapon master' all along.

He acquired four 'Dawn Swords' in a row, instantly upgrading his silly sister's weaponry to 'Refined Tier 5'.

In short, when the morning of the fourth day arrived...

"Including the time spent preparing the 'multi-purpose shovel' in the past two days, there is not much time left before my initial 'one-week' deadline."

At 6:30 in the morning, Ling Shu (Kong), who was preparing to go directly to the 'Central Square' to meet Welf as usual, walked down the street and thought to himself, "Currently, Ningguang and Barbara's Genshin Impact levels have long been raised to Lv.20, and the Genshin Impact weapons they each possess have also reached the current level cap."

“Ningguang had already submitted her drafted ‘Operational Plan for the All-Purpose Shovel’ to me. All that’s left is some preliminary preparation and the implementation phase…”

Thinking about this...

"Okay, I won't wait any longer."

Ling Shu (Kong) made a decision in his heart: "The follow-up plan cannot be disrupted. Today, let Welf take on his 'great cause'."

"If he fails, he may need to refine his skills for a longer period of time."

"Perfect timing, then 'I' can naturally get promoted...wait, huh?"

Lost in thought, Ling Shu (Kong) had already reached the 'Central Plaza' location when she saw Welf running towards her from afar.

The other party was not wearing any weapons or equipment.

Completely casual wear.

What's going on here?

As Welf approached quickly, Ling Shu (Kong) looked the red-haired youth, who was panting and leaning on his knees, up and down, and asked curiously, "Do you have something else to attend to?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Welf had clearly rushed over as well. After catching his breath, he put his hands together, raised them above his head, and said with his head bowed, "Phew~ Our clan suddenly received a large-scale request from the 'guild' last night, and all members have to help out recently."

"This is a direct order from Lady Hephaestus. For the next while, I won't have time to go to the dungeon."

"Ok?"
