Wrong Ground, Spiral Twins

Chapter 103: Small meeting.

Belle returned first with Lilyluka, and Welf followed shortly after.

"If we want to celebrate, we should wait until noon, right?"

As soon as Welf arrived in the hall, he asked in a loud voice: "Is there anything else that calls me here so early?"

"I thought since we're going to get together, we might as well have a small meeting in advance."

As Su Mo spoke, he poured a cup of tea for Welf who was sitting down.

A little while... Welf's eyes swept over Bell and Lilyluka, and he said in a daze: "To explore the middle level?"

Su Mo nodded and introduced Welf: "This is Lily Lucaard, the team's supporter and defender."

"Hello, Welf Clozo!"

Welf stood up and waved his hand, "Foundry Master, as for the position, it's probably center back."

Lililuka also quickly stood up and raised her hand, but halfway through, she was suddenly startled, "Klozo?"

"Well, it is indeed that Clozo."

With a goal that he was willing to give his all to achieve, Welf became more comfortable with his last name and identity.

"Hello, Lord Welf."

"We're all teammates now, so just call me Welf."

The two hands shook.

The introduction session ended and the two sat down again.

"Your basic ability value, main attribute should have reached 'C', right?"

Hearing Su Mo's inquiry, Welf smiled confidently, "Don't underestimate me. After all, I have been tempered by you in the middle level and now I am a 'C+'."

Su Mo was amused and replied bluntly: "Hearing you speak so confidently, I thought you had reached 'B'. Isn't 'C+' still 'C'?"

"Don't think everyone is you. There is a clear difference between 'C' and 'C+', don't you think, Lily?"

Lilyluka looked deeply at Bell beside her.

As a person who has been unable to reach the upgrade realm of 'D' after years of training, seeing the people around her improving at a speed that completely exceeded her imagination, the feeling of empathy made Lilyluka nod sincerely.

"That's right. There is indeed a big difference between 'C' and 'C+'."

"It seems we are on the same side, Lily!"

Welf said with a hearty smile.

"Being on Lily's side is not something to be praised."

Lililuka lowered her eyes and her voice became quieter. Even if it was 'C', it was a realm she could never reach.

"I originally had nothing to be praised for in this regard. You don't know that I was recently hit so hard by these two guys that I almost doubted my life. Now that I see them, I feel that it is really great that I am a foundry master."

"Lily feels the same way."

"Right! We are the normal people."

"Lord Welf, if Lily remembers correctly, Clozo has immortal blood flowing in his body."

Obviously not a normal person.

"..."

Welf was speechless for a moment, then nodded and sighed: "I am indeed worthy of praise only in this aspect, so on this road, I must not lose again no matter what!"

Su Mo seemed to realize something, "Failed again?"

"I'm not afraid of failure. What's most discouraging is that the more you try, the more you feel you have no idea what to do."

"Then let's upgrade first. This meeting is for this purpose."

Welf nodded and took a sip of the tea.

Su Mo looked at Bell, "Bell, what is the value of your basic ability?"

"'Agility' and 'Dexterity' have both reached 'A', 'Durability' has just reached 'B', 'Strength' is still a little short of 'B', and 'Magic Power' is 'D'."

Lily was silent, and Welf put down his teacup and looked up at the sky without saying a word.

"Lilyluka, what is your main attribute...?"

"It's 'Magic' and 'Agility', but the highest is only 'E'."

"enough."

After understanding everyone's basic strength, Su Mo also introduced himself, "I haven't fought with other people much. If I use monsters as a reference, my current strength can probably deal with four or five Minotaur head-on, um, quite quickly."

"!"

Hearing this, Lilyluka couldn't help but look sideways.

Being able to deal with four or five Minotaur's from the front, quickly... is this really the strength that an adventurer who has just reached level 2 can possess?

How could an adventurer who completed the upgrade in more than four months be so strong?

Lilyluka found it difficult to understand for a moment.

"The leader is very strong."

Seeing Lily's incredulous expression, Bell explained.

This sentence may not explain anything, but the person who says it can explain everything.

A captain who could convince an adventurer with an astonishing growth rate must be an even more extraordinary existence... After convincing herself, Lililuka nodded to show that she understood.

"Based on the strength standards of our team, exploring the middle level is undoubtedly up to standard, but being able to meet the standards does not mean it is relatively safe."

"This is especially true when we explore the middle level not for the mission or simply for money, but for the upper-level experience and the purpose of leveling up."

"I'm mentally prepared."

Welf was the first to respond. "If you want to level up, you really can't do it without taking risks."

In the middle level, not to mention the large monsters like horned rabbits, hellhounds, tiger lions, and violent beetles, he also defeated quite a few of them alone, and some Berg bears as well, but the result is here, he still cannot upgrade.

"Even if the opponent is the Minotaur?"

Welf's breath hitched. "Is there no buffer?"

Apart from those rare monsters, among the common monsters in the middle layer, the Minotaur whose potential ability is definitely above LV.2, the guild's threat assessment of it is three stars, which is the highest level.

Facing such an opponent, a LV.1 adventurer would be lucky to escape... Well, there are exceptions.

"Let me face the Minotaur directly. To be honest, I don't have much confidence."

“If you are confident, then it is not a challenge, and it is not a risk.”

Su Mo shook his head slightly and continued: "If I were LV.3 now and Bell was LV.2, I would directly find a bodyguard and lead this team to challenge the floor master of the seventeenth floor, because that is the fastest way to achieve great things."

"..."

Everyone looked at Su Mo with a bit of fear in their eyes.

"Don't look at me like that."

贝尔LV.2就能干翻潜在能力达到LV.5的黑色歌利亚，他LV.3带着LV.2贝尔去挑战潜在能力只是LV.4的楼层主，有什么问题嘛。

"I have also thought about winning by numbers, such as asking you to kill thousands of rabbits a day. But the results of my attempts have told me that this is more dangerous than challenging the Minotaur alone, because you never know what will happen when you are surrounded by a swarm of rabbits."

"Also, I have also referred to Sword Princess's upgrade method..."

"Stop! You'd better not refer to this."

Welf called a halt immediately.

How did Sword Princess level up for the first time? It is said that she defeated a dragon monster alone, which should not have appeared on the upper level.

It is definitely a monster that is more difficult to deal with than the Minotaur.

Chapter 104: Preparing to spend the money.

"In comparison, do you think the Minotaur is more appropriate?"

"Your comparison objects are too messy."

According to the guild, monsters that shouldn't be born can only be born if the dungeon is extensively destroyed or if more abnormal events occur.

"If you want to level up quickly, how can you do it without being a little reckless and taking risks? Didn't you say so yourself?"

Su Mo spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"..."

Welf was speechless.

Seeing this, Su Mo continued as if to summarize: "We don't have the strength to challenge the floor master right now. Finding those rare monsters is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but they may not be suitable opponents for you. So after thinking about it, only the Minotaur is the most suitable choice for us."

"But can I really level up by defeating the Minotaur?"

Welf was skeptical.

Su Mo smiled and raised a finger, "If one isn't enough, then ten. If ten isn't enough, then a hundred. If a hundred isn't enough, then a thousand... If you can't level up even after defeating a thousand Minotaur alone, then you better wait for Bell and I to reach level 3 first!"

"You can't level up by defeating a thousand Minotaur alone. The grace of the gods is not that strict."

Welf sighed and then turned his gaze to Bell. "Bell, do you have the confidence to defeat the Minotaur alone?"

Bell shook his head. "Lily and I have only explored up to the eleventh floor at best. We have absolutely no experience fighting monsters from the middle floors."

"Master Bell can do it."

Lililuka suddenly said, and seeing everyone's eyes looking over, she added: "Even if it's not possible for the time being, with Master Bell's growth rate, he will definitely be able to do it in the end."

The potential ability of the Minotaur is at least LV.2. It is indeed extremely difficult for a LV.1 to challenge a LV.2. The gap between the two is almost an insurmountable chasm, but adventurers also have their advantages.

Weapons, equipment, elixirs, props, etc., as long as all auxiliary work is properly prepared and one's own strength reaches the top of LV.1, one is not completely powerless against LV.2 monsters.

In fact, if someone really challenges the Minotaur, the greatest pressure does not lie on the challenger.

"In the dungeon, one-on-one opportunities are the most valuable. If Master Su Mo can create such an opportunity and provide support, I think Master Bell should accept the challenge. In fact, many large clans train their offspring in this way."

As Bell's assistant, Lilyluka performs her duties perfectly.

"Of course I will accept it, and I will try my best."

The main attributes have already reached 'A', so Bell naturally knows what he needs most at the moment.

Great deeds, advanced experience, adventures, these are the levels that adventurers who want to upgrade must face. In order to catch up with that person, to keep up with the leader, to protect Lily, and for the sake of the family, he cannot stand still.

"As Lilyluka said, I'm not too worried about Bell."

He could even defeat the carefully selected, LV.7 sparring partner, and fully enhanced Minotaur. For Bell, an ordinary Minotaur was definitely not an insurmountable obstacle.

"In comparison, this challenge is undoubtedly more difficult for you."

Welf picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp, then he let out a long breath.

"I've already said it. No matter how difficult it is, I have to give it a try. It's a Minotaur, so be it!"

He knew that he had little chance of winning against the Minotaur, but if he didn't even dare to try, then his goal of upgrading would be a long time coming.

"It seems we have identified our goal."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions unconsciously became more resolute.

A real team cannot be formed by just a few people getting together. Without a common, clear goal, no matter how many people gather together, they will ultimately be a group of scattered sand.

"When are you going to explore the middle level?"

"No rush, the goal is clear, but there is still a lot of preparation work to be done."

As he spoke, Su Mo bent down and moved the box he had taken earlier onto the table. After opening it, he took out a stack of guild gold notes.

"Short weapons are quite disadvantageous against the Minotaur. Use these to buy Bell a long knife or a long sword of at least second-grade. The rest can also be used to buy elixirs, magic swords, and other necessary items. My only request is that you don't waste them and spend them all."

Lilyluka stared blankly at the Farley that was handed to her, which was worth at least tens of millions, and couldn't help swallowing.

"Captain, these are just temporary weapons. Why would we buy such good ones?"
