The Warrior of Love

Heber placed his white little hands on his chest, which was barely moving, and took several deep breaths.

After a long time, he finally smiled cheerfully.

"Yeah! Come on, me!"

"What are you talking about... Hey, don't avoid reality!"

"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it! What is this? You've only been my follower for a few days, and you've already reached level 2?

Shouldn't it be that you and I support each other, rise up with difficulty in adversity, and climb to the top of this city step by step - this kind of plot is more appropriate!

No, I want to see... What am I looking at? My proficiency has already exceeded the limit! What a joke! The fastest record before this took a year!"

"and then?"

"My God, do you really not realize how special you are?" The goddess of youth covered her head. "Listen carefully, Hercules. Once your ability and upgrade speed are leaked, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. Then we will say goodbye to our peaceful life forever."

"That's pretty tough."

"Well, let's do this!"

Heber's face darkened, and he said seriously: "From now on, we should not disclose the information of our family to anyone except Hestia. And you should not say that you are a novice adventurer. Just think that you were already level 2 before you became "family" with me, but you were not famous in the world outside the city."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say." Jiang Liu smiled indifferently and reached out to touch Heber's head.

In fact, in his opinion, it doesn’t matter what happens, but if it can make the little goddess feel at ease, it’s okay to be low-key.

"I, I'm a goddess, don't treat me like a child!"

Heber's face turned red with anger: "Compared to me, you are a child!"

"Oh, that's scary... Okay, update it again for me. Don't keep the upgrade status. Just upgrade it to level 2 directly."

Jiang Liu said calmly: "I can't wait any longer."

If it weren't for the two BOSS-level creatures, Chimera and Dryad, Jiang Liu might have to explore deep into the dungeon for a long time before picking a suitable opponent, so this trip to the dungeon was truly a rewarding one.

In addition to money, there are also golden apples and "great deeds" that are enough to upgrade.

"How long did it take you? Think about those adventurers who haven't been able to reach level 2 for several years. Really..."

After mumbling for a while, Heber still updated the sacred text behind Jiang Liu for the second time.

[Hercules o Jiang Liu Level: lv2]

[Strength: I (0);

Durability: I (0);

Dexterity: I (0);

Agility: I (0) Magic: I (0)]

【magic:

Blank column;

Initial trials;

1. Passive magic, automatically triggered when in near-death state.

2. Store vitality and keep breathing even when dying (once). You can maintain combat effectiveness in the dying state.

3. Each time it is triggered, after recovering from the near-death state, the ability value will increase to a certain extent depending on the situation (but active self-harm cannot enjoy this effect). 4. After it is triggered, it takes seven days and seven nights to store vitality again. 】

[Skills: · Shura o Golden Apple o Forerunner——· Taunt o Stamina Enhancement o Muscle Enhancement o Agility Enhancement...]

"Huh, after all, I-level abilities are easier to accept... Hey, He-chan, look, look, you have magic."

"Well, I see."

"The effect of this magic is--huh?"

Heber was suddenly stunned. Looking at the man who turned around, the goddess of youth tilted her head.

"Um... have you gotten a little bigger?"

"Really? That's nothing strange."

If Jiang Liu looked like a boy of fifteen or sixteen before, then he looks to be about eighteen years old now. Not only are his facial features more mature, but his figure has also become much taller.

The body that originally looked a little "thin" has now become stronger and no longer gives people the impression of being weak and vulnerable.

——"Maturity stage".

Jiang Liu has now recovered his physical strength to his prime... no, his physical strength has far exceeded his prime!

"Maybe it's because I'm too happy after the upgrade. After all, it's normal for men to get bigger when they're excited."

Chapter 179: The Very Capable Jiang Liu

"Waiter, I want this, this, and this - never mind, just bring me everything on the menu!"

"that……"

"What's wrong? We have plenty of money!"

“To be more precise, it’s ‘we.’”

In the "Hostes of Plenty" tavern, after watching the waiter leave with a troubled look on her face, Heber mercilessly complained about Hestia.

"And you're just a freeloader."

"Don't be so formal, Heber." The plump Lolita Goddess seemed to have no self-awareness at all, and said with a smile, "We are close friends. Haven't we been getting along very happily during this period? Please take care of me in the future."

"Hestia, you... Bell-kun, if you want to change your followers, you better do it soon. It will be very hard to follow this kind of Lord God."

"No, no, the Supreme God has always been very good to me. I am very lucky to be a member of the God's family. Now that I have joined, I must cherish it and repay the Supreme God's kindness."

"Wow, Bell-kun! You are worthy of being my Bell-kun!"

"S-Sir God?"

Looking at the two people quarreling opposite, Jiang Liu showed a helpless and gentle smile.

It has been a while since the last time I came back from the dungeon. Recently, Hestia and others have been busy looking for a new house and decorating it. Jiang Liu is also getting familiar with his current body and has not entered the dungeon again. However, Bell has been working hard to accumulate ability points.

Now that the new house has been almost cleaned up, we can move in in a few days, and we can finally find time to eat out and have a meal together.

Life is not just about fighting and traveling. A warm life is also very important, just like the coordinates during sailing. The ordinary daily life is the corrective force for the extraordinary daily life.

Relaxing like this occasionally can make your body and mind feel a lot more relaxed.

The other three people living with him were very surprised by Jiang Liu's sudden "growth", but they were fooled by Jiang Liu's excuse that "his background was very special" - fortunately, these three people were a bit thick-skinned.

There are not only humans in this world, but also many sub-races such as orcs, dwarves, elves, and lilliputians. Perhaps they regarded Jiang Liu's abnormality as a manifestation of mixed blood, and once this issue was involved, they would naturally be more sensitive and would not ask more questions.

Hestia ordered a lot of food and didn't care whether it would be wasted. The reason why she was so confident was, of course, because of the harvest brought back by Jiang Liu and Bell, which made the wealth of the two families expand to a level comparable to many medium-sized families.

Because many clansmen's assets are in the form of equipment, real estate, etc., Jiang Liu may have more liquid funds than most clansmen.

After all, Chimera and Dryad are extremely rare monsters, the quality of their magic stones is higher than that of most floor masters, and they do not need to be shared with others, so Jiang Liu took all of them.

In fact, for this kind of magic stone, the guild even has to send someone to appraise its value... Recently, there is indeed an urban legend in Orario about "a strange man carrying a huge magic stone".

However, the guild's reputation is worthy of recognition, and it did not leak any information about Jiang Liu.

Hestia, who had always been accustomed to financial difficulties, now had so much money all of a sudden (although strictly speaking none of Varys belonged to her), so naturally she wanted to indulge herself. The way she spent money was to eat as much as she could in the tavern outside without looking at the price!

——That’s all I can achieve.

"Hebe, you don't look very excited." Jiang Liu glanced at his Lord God, "Don't you have an appetite?"

"Ugh……"

Heber looked at Jiang Liu resentfully: "It's all because of you."

"Ok?"

"Of course I couldn't calm down after seeing that kind of thing, and my body suddenly became bigger. Oh, it's so exaggerated, I don't know if I can accept it in the future."

"Uh..." Although I know you are talking about ability points, why do I feel there is ambiguity?

Look, Hestia is stunned and is looking at me with a very strange look!

She must have misunderstood something!

Well, maybe it’s not a misunderstanding - after all, Jiang Liu is still very confident in himself.

Fortunately, the food was served quickly and Hestia's attention was drawn to it.

"Wow, this looks delicious!"

"Ms. Xier, thank you." Bell greeted the waiter who served the dishes.

The cute waitress with short grey hair smiled brightly: "I am happy to serve Mr. Bell."

"Hmm?" Hestia raised her face from tearing a chicken leg.

"Ms. Waitress, do you know my Bell-kun?"

"Yes!"

Xi'er nodded: "I almost fell down the stairs when I was taking out the garbage a few days ago. Fortunately, Mr. Bell passed by and saved me."

"My Bell is so enthusiastic! Cute and gentle, it's really great!" Hestia didn't think anything of it, but was very happy.

"Yeah, I think so too." Xier smiled slightly.

——That wasn't an agreement with Hestia, it was the truth.

"Hestia probably doesn't realize it." Jiang Liu thought with amusement.

The noise they made also attracted the attention of other people in the tavern. On the other side of the hall, there were also several tables where people from the clan were having dinner. A blond adventurer who was as tall as a child glanced over here.

"It's really lively over there. I haven't seen any faces before... Are they new Familiars?"

"Anyway, I guess I was lucky enough to pick up some trash in the dungeon and thought it was a treasure. Don't worry about it, they are just a bunch of small fry." said the white-haired orc youth who was eating meat.

"Bert is still as sharp-tongued as ever." The dwarf didn't care, as if he had gotten used to his companion's tone.

Among the people sitting with them, there were an elf with aloof temperament and a taciturn blonde female swordsman. At another table were a sturdy dwarf and a pair of Amazon sisters.

There were also their companions at several other tables, but there were more of them and it was difficult to introduce them one by one.

Although these people's clothes are not particularly gorgeous, if you have a keen eye you will find that most of them are wearing practical adventurer equipment, including some rare first-class items. From their every move you can also feel the temperament of experienced warriors.

That’s right, they are the first-class adventurer team that is well-known throughout Orario, the main force of Loki’s family!

Adventurers are divided into different levels according to their own ability levels.

Level 1 adventurers are considered "lower-level adventurers", which is the level of most adventurers. Although there are a large number of them, to be honest, they have no status.

But it’s different starting from level 2. At this level, it proves that the adventurer has accomplished a “great feat” at least once and is a person worthy of attention. If placed in a place other than Orario, he will be greatly respected.

Starting from level 2, you are already considered an "advanced adventurer" and are even eligible to be given a "nickname" by the gods.

Adventurers at level 3 and 4 are the backbone of most clans. Even for some large clans, the main force is often at this level. At this point, they should be well-known throughout the entire city.

As for those above level 5, they are the real elites standing at the top of the city, known as "the first level among the superiors", and can be regarded as leaders among the top families.

Generally speaking, it is these first-level adventurers who are relied upon to explore the unknown areas of the dungeon.

The Loki clan is a super force with a large number of lv3 and lv4 senior adventurers. The main forces are generally above lv5, and there are even lv6. They are one of the top three clans in the whole of Orario!

The only two families that can be compared with it are Freya and Ganesha. However, due to their different styles, Loki's family is the most enthusiastic in exploring dungeons and is also the family at the forefront of the strategy, which is better than the other two.

Today, it seemed that Loki's family also came to this tavern by chance and bumped into Jiang Liu and his friends accidentally.

"Hmm? A new family?"

The main god Loki, who was already a little drunk, subconsciously looked over there.

"Oh-oh! Isn't this Hestia? You shorty, you haven't returned to the heaven yet! Looking closely, why is Hebe here too? Aren't you not interested in the mortal world?"

Jiang Liu frowned when he saw the red-haired woman holding a wine glass staggering towards him.

"Hebe, your acquaintance?"

"Forehead……"

The goddess of youth looked away: "I guess so..."

Oh, what's with this reaction?

"Loki loved to pester me when she was in the celestial realm...to be honest I was a bit bad at dealing with her."
