Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

Before I finished breakfast, Welf came to my door and delivered the landing device that I had customized earlier.

The device was in the style of wrist armor just as Su Mo had expected. The upper part was the wrist guard, and the lower part was where the main body of the landing device could be launched, and the upper and lower halves combined just wrapped the entire forearm.

After trying it, Su Mo was quite satisfied.

"As long as you're satisfied."

The finished product was well received, and Welf, who had been working on it for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief.

But it was obviously too early to relax. The person who originally wanted to leave after delivering the things was dragged away by Su Mo to serve as a soldier the next moment.

After breakfast, Hestia and Bell continued to sort out bills and documents at home, while Su Mo took Welf to the store to receive various goods. A kitchenware store can't just sell instant pots, it also has to have a variety of pots, pans, and bowls.

Beyond that, there is important advocacy work to be done.

In fact, as early as two days ago, flyers about convenience pots had been posted on various notice boards.

As for the next step, the best thing would be to post the advertisement of the convenience pot all over the streets of Orarie like psoriasis, so that most people can see it. Unfortunately, due to the paper, printing technology and cost, it is difficult to achieve the level of psoriasis.

Literacy is also an issue.

The effectiveness of promotional methods such as posting advertisements and distributing leaflets will inevitably be greatly reduced when encountering illiterate people, so cooperating with "newspaper boys" to spread the word is the best choice.

Hiring workers is not a problem if it can be solved with money, and child labor does not cost much.

In comparison, teaching child workers how to spread the word verbally and how to accurately distribute flyers to adventurers in need is a laborious and time-consuming task.

All kinds of goods arrived in waves, and they were received, sorted, and displayed. The team was busy until noon, when the last box of high-quality magic stones was moved into the store's warehouse. Su Mo looked at the magic stone reserves that occupied a corner of the warehouse and could not take his eyes off them for a long time.

He had already secretly embezzled money several times before, and with these 'gifts' and 'prizes' in front of him that were nominally used for promotion, the magic stones required to upgrade his left eye again must be enough.

The moment he got what he wanted, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but he also felt a deep sense of heaviness.

In order to obtain these magic stones, the God who would rather sit down than lie down not only worked hard for a long time, but also helped him cover up without hesitation. His family's debt increased sharply because of this, and he himself owed countless favors. These were undoubtedly the responsibilities he had to take.

"Su..."

"coming."

Welf's call instantly diluted his feelings, and Su Mo turned around and walked back.

After dealing with most of the matters in the store in the morning, Su Mo took Bell to the underground city in the afternoon.

On this day, the two not only reached the fifth floor, but Su Mo also took Bell to experience the difficulty of the sixth floor.

Only by experiencing it personally can one know clearly at what stage it is appropriate for him to leave the novice floor. Such an action also means that Su Mo's guidance of Bell is about to end.

Chapter 63: Middle Level (Part 1)

Good luck in opening

The red carpet was laid out, the sun was shining, and there were clusters of flowers. The little goddess was dressed up and walked out of the door with two female shop assistants.

Outside the door, a group of goddesses arrived with a large group of their followers.

The crowds of beauties and the bustling noise made the newly opened kitchenware store look dazzling and immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Su Mo watched this scene from afar, and before he could look away, a flyer was handed to him.

"Adventurers, take a look at this convenient pot that is essential for long journeys..."

The little man handing out flyers spoke eloquently, but Su Mo didn't listen carefully. He just took the flyer and looked at it.

Since flyers have been distributed on a large scale at the entrance of the guild, I think these flyers have already been sent to the clan residences and large and small chambers of commerce.

If nothing unexpected happens, today, the mainstream people in Orario who have a demand for instant pots will know about the existence of the 'Hestia Instant Pot'.

Hope everything goes well... With a little wish in his heart, Su Mo casually handed the flyer to a passerby, and walked away with the passerby's surprised look.

But suddenly, his steps paused again, and he looked up into the sky as if he had realized something.

But it was obvious that his extraordinary vision did not allow him to see anything. He quickly retracted his gaze, put on the hood that was integrated with the invisibility cloak, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the dungeon.

His own Supreme God has already opened for business, and he has achieved 'A' in all attributes, so naturally he has to start his own adventure.

"You dare to explore the middle layer alone when you are not even at Lv.2. I think the last person who dared to do this was you, Ota!"

In the luxurious interior of the top floor of the Tower of Babel, the goddess of love looked down and said so.

"This is a necessary step in order to break through the level."

Ota's answer was calm and matter-of-fact, "He shouldn't be delayed by trivial matters. Fighting in the wilderness is more suitable for him."

The battle wilderness of Freya's family is the most famous place of struggle in Orario.

Freya smiled, "Well! Hestia has tried very hard."

The brilliance that failed to bloom still needed to absorb more light and heat from the flames. The best time to pick it had not yet come. In comparison...

Freya withdrew her gaze from the entrance of the dungeon and looked towards the bustling store that was open for business. With just one glance, she found that touch of pure white among the many figures.

One after another, is this Hestia's luck or her misfortune?

"I feel more and more sorry for Hestia!"

Although she said this, the smile on Freya's lips became more and more charming.

"Just think of it as early compensation... Tell them to help as many Hestia Familias as possible. If we only dig up one or two people and it leads to the extinction of Hestia Familias, even I would feel ashamed."

Ota bowed his head and said, "Everything will be done according to your will."

……——……

The first death line——

Su Mo rushed all the way until he reached the dividing line between the upper and middle levels, and then he stopped.

He stood beside him, leaning on his sword, drinking water and eating in silence.

As he was about to truly step into the middle level, Su Mo's heart was far from being as calm as he appeared to be.

He was picked up and brought back to Orario on the twelfth floor, but he had already explored the twelfth floor and did not find the place where he originally traveled through on the twelfth floor.

In other words, the place where he first woke up and suffered misfortune was not on the upper floor at all.

The thirteenth to seventeenth floors were like a maze of caves and little greenery, and did not match his impression of the place where he first woke up, so the place where he first woke up was probably below the seventeenth floor.

But if that was the case, how did he appear on the twelfth floor?

The person that lies are least likely to deceive is oneself. The answer obviously points directly to another "self".

Will 'he' come to find me?

The monsters in the dungeon become weaker as you get closer to the surface. This is not inevitable. This is because there is an ancient god in the center of the "lid" called Orario who prays to the dungeon all the time.

Of course, this is a better way of saying it. Anyone can understand that there is not much difference between the word "prayer" and the word "suppression".

But since he was able to send him to the twelfth floor, it meant that he might not be able to reach the upper floor, but he must be able to reach the middle floor.

The instinct that desires unity cannot be faked. After noticing that he has stepped into the middle level, will 'he' come up?

Both worried and expectant, in the end, all the entanglements and waves are eliminated in pure rationality.

After a team of four entered the cave, Su Mo, who had just rested, waited for two more minutes before tightly grasping the Sword of the Goddess and slowly walked towards the natural cave leading to the thirteenth floor.

The characteristic of the thirteenth floor is that the passage connecting the cave rooms is very long.

Being blocked in the passage by monsters and unable to escape is the case with the highest number of casualties on the 13th floor.

Walking slowly down along the natural cave, because someone had cleared the way ahead, Su Mo walked for four or five minutes before the traces of the monster began to appear.

Yellow and white fur, a furry tail, long erect ears, and a signature sharp horn on its forehead - the horned rabbit, a monster that looks cute and docile in appearance but is actually very aggressive.

The sharp horn is the undisputed nemesis of leather armor, but that is not the only weapon of the horned rabbit. The rich arsenal of natural weapons has allowed them to learn how to use stone axes.

They walk upright, each carrying a small stone axe, and their individual abilities are not proportional to their cute appearance.

Individual abilities are not weak, they appear in groups, and have sharp hearing.

Almost at the moment when Su Mo discovered them, groups of horned rabbits suddenly looked over with their scarlet eyes.

There is nothing to say at all. Faced with this Berserker Rabbit that rushes towards him without saying a word, the only thing that can be communicated is the sword in his hand.

"Here, break free!"

While singing softly, the lowest multiple is opened.

His steps gradually quickened, the swinging sword blade reflected the phosphorescence in the cave, directly cutting off the stone axe and bringing up a flash of blood.

"squeak……"

With bloody wails and ferocious screams, in the not-so-wide passage, Su Mo's first battle at the middle level officially began.

Its agility is at least 'C', its dexterity is not 'B', but it must be close to 'B'. Its strength and endurance are more than one or two levels lower. In the formal confrontation, Su Mo quickly had a general understanding of monsters like the unicorn rabbit and made an assessment quickly.

Monsters like horned rabbits pose no threat to him if there are only five or six of them at a time.

Su Mo: LV.1 Strength: A812 Durability: A896 Dexterity: A852 Agility: A844 Magic: A889

All attributes are 'A', durability and magic power are already infinitely close to 'S', 1.1x speed is already enabled, and the unicorn's most outstanding agility is more than one level lower than his. Under the extraordinary dynamic vision, such speed is definitely not the word 'fast'.

Without any surprise, the hand-to-hand combat lasted less than ten seconds, and the battle, which was suppressed from all sides, ended with the sound of stone axes falling to the ground.

The most threatening thing is the flying axe attack... Summarizing the gains from the battle, Su Mo took out the magic stone and continued to move forward.

Chapter 64: Middle Level (Part 2)

Continue walking forward for a hundred meters and the first cave chamber will be in sight.

The darkness could not block Su Mo's sight. Inside the first cave, the four people who had already dealt with the group of horned rabbits were still collecting the spoils.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and to keep the road ahead clear, Su Mo did not rush forward. He stood there and waited for a while. When the four people stepped into the passage and completely disappeared from his sight, he wrapped his cloak, triggered the invisibility function and continued to follow.

The dungeon is not a dead thing, it is the real hunter.

If you are alone in a dungeon, even if you have the advantage of being able to fight off the enemy alone or have the strength of ten thousand men, you will still be exhausted to death. If you don't have enough ability but want to hunt more safely, the right thing to do is to quickly shoot and then move to another place.

The middle level was an area that only high-level adventurers needed to form a team to explore. Since he was not even a high-level adventurer and was alone, he could not be too cautious.

His purpose here was extremely clear - he came here just for the superior experience.

Those who are burdened with many favors and huge sums of money dare not die easily. Regardless of whether it is for the experience of their superiors or for their own safety, the Berg bears, tigers and lions that do not like to live in groups, and the Minotaur who is usually alone are more ideal hunting targets.

The horned rabbits, vampire bats, and hellhounds that always swarmed in groups were not his choice from the beginning.

And the most important point...

Ahead was another cave, but this time, the battle in the cave was not over yet. From afar, one could see four people fighting with the group of horned rabbits with their backs against each other.

Three of the four should be LV.2 advanced adventurers, but even with this configuration, they were still very careful when fighting. Because the enemies were not always in their field of vision, there would always be a few flying axes that would suddenly fly out from the corners of their peripheral vision.

This was undoubtedly a sneak attack.

The 13th-floor unicorn rabbit mutation incident has long ended, but some changes that occurred in that mutation still continue to this day, for example - the brainless and hot-blooded berserker rabbits before have now learned to play dirty.

Ambush, sneak attack, long-range and short-range tactics, human wave tactics... the guild has been promoting the various changes of the Horned Rabbit recently.

Many ants can kill an elephant. For Su Mo, being ambushed or surrounded is the situation he needs to avoid the most.

The invisibility cloak is not omnipotent. The areas where rabbits with keen hearing become insidious and bats that rely on ultrasonic waves to find their enemies are densely populated are not suitable hunting grounds for him.

We stopped and started, with someone leading the way in front, so the speed was not slow.

In less than half an hour, Su Mo arrived at his desired hunting area and did not follow any further.

The most common monster on the thirteenth floor is the horned rabbit, followed by the hellhound and the vampire bat. However, this does not mean that large monsters such as the berg bear, the tigon, and the minotaur are rare on the thirteenth floor.

As the cave became emptier, traces of large monsters naturally appeared.

Bergbear——

With strong and sturdy limbs, thick and fluffy fur, and a physique that is several times larger than that of a human when standing up, if the Minotaur, which excels in all aspects, is the representative of the difficult-to-deal-with monsters in the middle level, then Bergbear is undoubtedly the power bearer of the middle level.

Adventurers at LV.1 and LV.2 levels, if not necessary, even if they have outstanding 'endurance', the dwarf warriors holding shields with both hands would not want to bear the head-on blow of the Berg Bear like a mountain.

It is not just talk that one can defeat ten kinds of skill with one's strength.

Fortunately, for a bear as powerful as they are, they are not particularly agile or deft.

Locking onto the target, his breathing and pace slowed down unconsciously, the Sword of the Goddess was ready to go, and with the help of the invisibility cloak, he approached within five or six meters. The moment the Berg Bear paused, Su Mo suddenly jumped up.

The sword blade suddenly whizzed through the air.

Twice the speed, target, where the magic stone is.
