Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

With the help of elixirs and treatments for recovery, and further squeezing out the necessary rest time, the ability value increased by about a quarter compared to usual. If converted only by time, the efficiency has obviously decreased.

However, Su Mo was already very satisfied with this, and his tired body and mind were refreshed.

Not to mention that the closer the ability value is to the upper limit, the slower the growth will inevitably be. Even if the input and output are not proportional, as long as the sweat and effort are not in vain and positive feedback can be obtained, it means that one's choice is indeed not wrong and is worth it.

Moreover, he could squeeze out a quarter of the increase, which was undoubtedly a very good speed of improvement. If it weren't for the high cost and the fact that there were limits to it, he would really want to stick to it for a long time.

I have made another step towards reaching 'SSS' in all attributes. Even the lowest 'Strength' is only about 200 points away. I should be able to complete the upgrade before the war game starts, so there shouldn't be any problem in terms of time.

Putting down the paper, Su Mo fell headfirst onto the bed.

Just like yesterday, after sleeping for more than an hour, when the night fell completely, Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes as if awakened, and the sleepiness and trance disappeared almost instantly.

After packing up his equipment, he headed towards the dungeon again into the night.

Exploring the dungeon when not in good condition is a very dangerous thing, but at this time, he does not need to avoid danger, but does need some danger.

Just like last night, it was another night of fierce battle with the bull on the 16th floor.

But what was different from the previous night was that this night, the exhausted adventurers encountered malicious attacks in the dungeon.

He encountered monster feasts several times. The corridor suddenly collapsed, blocking the way. He stepped into a dead end while fleeing. Even a group of huge vampire bats suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the cave, leaving people no chance to rest. All kinds of abnormal situations happened one after another, making Su Mo truly feel the feeling of being forced into a desperate situation step by step.

It was also because the dungeon was so powerful that after a fierce battle, Su Mo returned to the surface in the dim light of day. He was full of energy and felt refreshed, without any trace of fatigue.

Although it is a bit of a waste to use the 'Second Life' on a group of fierce bulls, it is feasible to use the upgrade of the 'Left Eye' to eliminate fatigue and renew one's own status.

This is the reason why I can sprint without worrying about burning out my liver. Lack of rest and two consecutive days of high-intensity fighting and training have seriously affected my condition. But after this reset, I feel that I should have no problem holding on for another two days based on my current condition.

After taking a shower and walking out of the tower gate, Su Mo quickly rushed to the tavern.

Seeing Su Mo coming, the elf girl subconsciously looked him up.

"Just came back from the underground city?"

The attire of the visitor said it all.

Su Mo nodded, glanced at Bell who was sparring with another cat person, Miss Anya, and Miss Chloe who should have terminated her contract, then took the package and stood in front of the elf.

"Why don't you take a break at this time?"

"Do you think I need a break?"

The elf narrowed her eyes and looked at him carefully. Indeed, she did not feel any fatigue from the other person, whether in terms of breath or mental state.

According to Bell Crany, the person in front of him must have been engaged in high-intensity fighting and training for two days and two nights, and had not taken much time to rest. How could he have persisted like this?

Feeling that his recovery ability was a bit exaggerated, the elf said nothing more and just raised his wooden sword.

The next moment, the sword and the knife collided with each other...

……——……

After the morning exercise, there was one more person accompanying Su Mo and Bell back to the base that day.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Chloe!"

"Let me make it clear first, meow~, I'm just an affiliate, I still have to work in the tavern."

"This is natural. The clan will not force you to do anything."

However, if we encounter any crisis in the future, we are all members of Hestia's family, and we can't just sit back and do nothing.

The most critical step has been taken. The team's scouts can almost be confirmed now. The next step is to build relationships step by step and make Miss Catman gradually side with them. With Bell around, Su Mo is not in a hurry at all.

After bringing Miss Catman back to the clan's residence, Su Mo saw Welf in the living room.

He should have just returned last night. He rushed here so early today. He must have learned about the situation of Hestia's family.

"Su, Bell, I finally upgraded!"

Seeing the two people returning, Welf came out to greet them and told them the good news excitedly.

I started preparing for the upgrade when my 'Dexterity' reached 'D', and it took me nearly ten months to gain higher-level experience before I finally completed the upgrade. The 'difficulty' and 'pressure' of the process suddenly turned into excitement and disappeared.

carefree--

"Congratulations, Mr. Welf!"

Su Mo smiled, walked closer and punched the other person in the chest, "Have you gained the ability of 'Forging'?"

"Of course, I've said it before. As long as you can upgrade, there's no need to worry about developing your abilities. 'Forging' will definitely appear 100% of the time."

"Congratulations, but your celebration party may have to be postponed."

"That's just in time to celebrate with you guys after you win."

Welf didn't care. "How is it? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I need those boots."

"No problem, I have all the materials. I'll help you forge it when I get back. Is there anything else?"

"And of course the magic sword."

"Row!"

"Thanks!"

This is indeed a good time to "recruit" someone, but between friends, there is no reason to ask the other party to make sacrifices unless it is absolutely necessary.

After all, they are all members of the team, and their actions are basically in the same boat. In this case, there is not much difference between 'digging' and 'not digging', so there is no need to separate them and forcibly dig them from Hephaestus's family.

Friends need to understand each other after all. Just like he never thought of leaving the Hestia family, a person who aims to step into the 'Forging God Realm' should not have thought of leaving the Hephaestus family. At least in the current situation, it is not necessary for him to come over to help.

"Well, these are my jobs."

Chapter 222: Many Helpers.

Previously there was a Lv.5, and now there is a Lv.4 who converted to Buddhism. After coming here and understanding the inside story, Welf's worries were mostly dissipated.

Apart from the fact that the number of members in the family is still insufficient, in terms of combat power alone, the Hestia family is undoubtedly at the top of the Orario family.

Putting aside the two strongest families, the number of members of the Ganesha family is so high that even if the Hephaestus family were to go into battle head-on now, they might not be able to defeat the Hestia family.

In the era of the gods' followers, 'quality' is far more important than 'quantity'.

Welf didn't stay any longer. Feeling relieved, he had no intention of staying here for breakfast. He quickly said goodbye and left with a package of dropped materials.

With only a few days left until the war game, he had to hurry.

He just happened to acquire the ability of 'forging', and was in urgent need of trying it out, adapting, and improving. In recent days, he has been preparing to immerse himself in the forging workshop. There are so many materials stored in the warehouse, but they have been waiting for this moment.

After bidding farewell to Welf, Miss Chloe, who was led upstairs by Hestia, came down again not long after, having completed her conversion.

"Lily Lucaard, our logistics director, but now still belongs to the Soma clan..."

"This is Marie, a Level 5 wizard. On the surface, like you, she is also a convert from the Njord clan..."

"Sanjono Haruhime, our clan's trump card..."

"Miss Chloe, as for your conversion, we will report it to the guild on the last day of the war game once the specific time is determined..."

Being invited to stay, having breakfast was just a side thing. At the dinner table, listening to the constant introductions and explanations, Chloe gradually gained a comprehensive understanding of the Hestia family.

It feels outrageous——

A clan that had never been heard of half a year ago, now not only has two supernovas, but also a Lv.5 wizard, which is a rare figure in the entire Orario. In addition, there is a rare prototype that can "level up" for others... It is not surprising that it would be targeted by other clans.

Chloe assessed the strength of the clan in her mind.

A clan leader who is about to be upgraded to Lv.3, and Lv.2 can kill Lv.4 head-on.

A wizard who can even display Lv.6 firepower by the water, which makes him considered a top-notch wizard.

An ace who can grant everyone the blessing of "level sublimation", instantly raising the team's strength to a higher level.

There is still a small step every day, Bell who is striding forward, and a supporter in charge of logistics, and finally with her, not to mention the future, the current team is already a very top-notch team.

This is not a configuration that the middle and lower level clans can have. Apart from Freya and Loki, it is difficult for other clans to put together a team of this level. Compared with the current strength, the future represented by this team is undoubtedly more worth looking forward to.

As an exploration family, the Hestinya family also has its own industry, basic funds are guaranteed, and the network of relationships is also quite good, including the guild, the Hephaestus family, the Loki family, the Ganesha family...

With industries and financial support at the bottom, the top will not be overly suppressed. The family framework has been clarified, and based on this, as long as the two supernovas are given a little more time, and as long as nothing unexpected happens, the Hestia family will definitely be able to become one of the top five families in Orario.

After gaining a comprehensive understanding of the clan, Chloe knew that her thoughts before coming here were definitely wrong - she was not here to help the Hestia clan, but to help the clan build its reputation.

It is absolutely impossible to defeat the Hestia family with just one Lv.5. The upcoming war game is more like a stage for the Hestia family to show their strength and declare their reputation.

The conversation was suddenly interrupted and someone came to visit us halfway through breakfast.

The guest who came was one that Su Mo had not expected.

"Shakti..."

The guest was not invited in, so Su Mo had to come out to meet him.

"excuse me."

"Nothing, come in and sit down."

"There are still many things going on within the clan, so the formal visit should wait."

Shakti shook his head and held up the document in his hand. "I am only here to deliver the bounty today. Please sign your name."

Su Mo took the document and took a look. It contained the bounties for the two assassins and the reward for arresting the goddess of beauty. "I dare not accept it. Except for one of them, the rest were paid by the tavern."

"I've been to the pub, and they all agreed that this matter has nothing to do with them."

"Mia's mother clearly doesn't want to accept it?"

Su Mo confirmed.

"What bounty? The tavern is not the place for this kind of thing. Go find that guy... That's what Mia said."

Shakti's imitation was indeed quite spirited. Su Mo could already imagine the scene when Mia's mother waved her hands and chased people away when she said this.

After thinking for a while, Su Mo said, "Can you ask the Ganesha family for a favor?"

Shakti agreed immediately, "We will not refuse any help we can provide."

Su Mo nodded, picked up the pen on the folder, signed his name in a few strokes, and handed the document back, saying: "No matter which copy of this money is, it feels hot to hold. I would like to ask the Ganesha family and the guild to help and give it to the civilians who survived the last explosion and the destruction caused by the immortal spirit clone, or suffered serious losses."

"As for how to divide it, you can do whatever you think is reasonable. In this regard, I believe you should have a more accurate understanding of the situation and be more professional."

Looking at the documents handed back, Shakti did not take them immediately. "The guild and we do have a clearer understanding of these matters, but this is not a small amount of money. Your clan should have a lot of money needs recently."

Hearing this, Su Mo knew why the leader of the Ganesha clan had to make this trip in person for such a matter, and why he had arrived suddenly at this time.

"Thank you for your concern. We appreciate your kindness, but the family's current financial situation is still relatively prosperous. At least what we lack now is not 'money'."

Hearing the other party say this, Shakti took the file back with a smile.

She admired the fact that they could donate such a large sum of money without hesitation. From this, we can see the attitude of some Hestia family members. It is not without reason that they can receive special care from the guild.

"Recently, the Soma clan has suddenly received help from many clans, and has even gotten close to some members of the Ishtar clan who came off the ship. You need to be more careful."

Su Mo nodded, "We already know about these situations. I'm afraid that even the 'man killer' will take this opportunity to settle accounts with me. We chose to start the war only after we knew the situation."

"I can rest assured that."

Knowing that the Hestia family was not forced to participate in the "war game" but was prepared, Shakti did not say more on this topic and shook the document in his hand, "We will pay every cent of this money. There will be a detailed bill later, and you can check it at any time."

"I believe in the credibility of the Ganesha family."

223

Chapter 223 is finalized.

Tower of Babel, 30th floor.

It has only been a short time since the last conference of gods, and today the venue is once again filled with gods.

Hestia walked into the venue, and just one look at it made her mouth twitch slightly.

Obviously they knew there would be something exciting to watch today. Maybe because this meeting was not by invitation only, the number of people attending this meeting was even greater than the last emergency meeting... They were all people who were looking to watch the fun and not mind getting involved.

"Finally, Hestia."

Seeing Hestia coming, a male god wearing a laurel wreath immediately stood up, smiled and opened his arms to welcome her, "Let's welcome the real hero."

There was sparse applause, and among them were the voices of the gods.
