Type-Moon: Upgrade entry, join the chat group at the beginning

"No, I won't say anything more, okay?" Hestia muttered before continuing to devour her food.

Seeing this, Frillie, who couldn't join in the conversation with Wang Xiaomei and the others, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hestia, how long has it been since you ate?"

"Soon, it wasn't a matter of being hungry or not, but rather a matter of how the food tasted."

"As a god, I don't feel hungry, but the food you brought is really delicious. It's a kind of cuisine that I can't taste in Orario. Could you give me a little more?" Hestia's eyes shone as she looked at Su Luo.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Hestia is a typical example.

Although she had only been in the mortal realm for a short time, she had previously stayed with Hephaestus's kin.

Eating well and sleeping well every day is a true luxury.

But one day Hephaestus couldn't stand her depravity, so he expelled her from the Familia and made her work hard to develop her own Familia and become self-reliant.

She fell from the mountaintop to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

Having been kicked out for so many days, she has been either recruiting members for her familia at the Adventurers' Guild or wandering the streets, trying to find a suitable candidate to bring into her familia.

Although they weren't without food and drink during that time, their treatment was naturally not as good as when they stayed with the Hephaestus Familia.

This extreme contrast caused her appetite to surge the moment she tasted the food again.

Like a starving man seeing a white steamed bun, he began to wolf it down.

Moreover, while enjoying this delicious food, a huge business opportunity appeared before her eyes.

If those delicacies from another world were sold in this world, they would definitely be a huge hit!

Furthermore, as a deity, she naturally possesses popularity, and some greedy adventurers dare not offend her, nor would they dare to snatch food from her.

As for the gods, that's even easier to deal with.

As long as she reveals that the food she sells comes from another world, and that she is the only one who has a way to contact people from that other world.

These incredibly boring gods would surely choose not to harm her because they find her amusing.

They might even try to please her and extract information about the other world from her.

That will be the time for her to make a fortune.

Once she has accumulated enough funds to buy a mansion and a large amount of weaponry, will she still have trouble recruiting members for her clan?

At this moment, Hestia's intelligence reached its peak after receiving a large number of group file messages and no longer wanting to live in the old church.

Suddenly another solution came to mind.

Su Luo naturally saw through Hestia's thoughts.

I must say this plan is very promising.

Some of the foods they have in the modern world would be a game-changer if placed in the medieval era.

However, one thing to note is that gods are not ordinary people.

If it's food from their world, it's likely that some technology has been incorporated into it.

For the average person, it's fine; the taste of the food is enough to mask the problem.

But gods are different. Even if their power is sealed, their senses are different from those of humans.

Who knows, one bite might be all about technology and ruthless work.

Thinking of this, Su Luo couldn't help but remind her, "You can use your points to buy it in the shop in the chat group."

"It's very cheap; you can exchange 1 point for a ton of food."

"Or you could discuss it privately with Xiaomei and the others and collaborate with them."

"However, you should try modern food first before you say that. After all, the food in our area is processed to some extent, which is quite different from these all-natural foods."

The food they used for this team building activity was all purchased directly from the chat group.

In the group store, these common items like food are very cheap; you can exchange a lot for just 1 point.

Prior to this, these everyday items were not available in the group store.

This was probably added secretly when the chat group was updated.

"I understand." Hestia silently noted down Su Luo's words, and would discuss this matter with Wang Xiaomei and the others in the chat group after the team building activity.

They're currently having a team-building activity and are having a great time.

Discussing serious matters with them at this time would only spoil their mood.

Soon, after resting for a while, everyone felt it was about time and set off again.

At this moment, a large number of Minotaur had gathered outside the barrier.

Seeing this, Claudia stepped forward.

She drew her pure star-studded Pandora weapon.

With the increase in points, Claudia's strength has grown rapidly, and the side effects of using Pandora have completely disappeared.

She has completely tamed it and made it her own.

Furthermore, with the enhancement of points, Pandora's ability to foresee the future has been greatly strengthened, and there is no longer a limit to the amount of future she can see. How far into the future she can see depends on how strong the user's vision and abilities are.

In addition, Pandora gained new abilities.

Time deleted.

Similar to Kaguya Houraisan's "Moment".

Claudia can perform time jumps by deleting time, allowing the cause to jump directly to the result.

To put it simply, it's King Crimson.

It is possible to foresee future events, then use time reduction to omit the process of the events and bring the outcome of the events to the present.

The course of the event remains unchanged; it still exists, but no one has the memory of the entire event.

For example, scene transitions are commonly seen in novels and comics.

In the previous scene, the female lead's face was slightly flushed as she slowly moved closer to the male lead. In the next scene, the female lead and the male lead separated, the distance between them decreased, and her face became even redder.

As for what happened during that time, those who know, know.

The process is omitted, and only the result is presented.

For example, right now—

The moment Claudia drew Pandora's twin swords.

The surrounding Minotaur instantly turned into magic stones, and even the corpses turned to ashes.

Apart from Su Luo, who possesses futuristic vision, and Mio, who absorbed the Spirit Crystal and obtained the Zafkiel, no one else possesses Claudia's memory of slaying the Minotaur.

This is time deletion.

Although they had no memory of it, the process and outcome of Claudia slaying the minotaur were real; Claudia simply omitted the details.

The results that had been achieved were presented to Su Luo and the others.

Chapter 107 Hestia and Hephaestus

"Claudia is getting stronger and stronger," Wang Xiaomei remarked with some emotion.

When Claudia first joined the group, she was still suffering from the consequences of using Pandora.

Now, however, he has grown into a time swordsman. His sharp and swift swordsmanship, combined with his time-manipulation abilities, makes him one of the top swordsmen even in chat groups.

Wang Xiaomei, of course, did not react as wildly as the others in the group.

After all, being in a group chat is not quite the same as being in real life; you can't really let loose.

Moreover, she has already obtained what she wanted on this trip, and she will not envy the powerful abilities that others have obtained.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaomei glanced at Su Luo's back, then walked to the leader's position, leading these group members to show the seventeenth floor's master what the wickedness of the world was.

……

Time flies.

The sky suddenly began to darken.

The afterglow of the setting sun filled every corner of Orario, making the entire city look even more prosperous and beautiful.

Su Luo and the others also emerged from the underground city at this time.

Despite the passage of time, even though they would pause briefly at each level, their formidable strength allowed them to quickly reach the deeper parts of the dungeon.

Once they got there, their progress slowed down.

They began to encounter more powerful monsters, and Su Luo and a few other strong individuals were just there to fill the gaps, leaving the opportunities to train with the monsters to the other side.

So much so that they only just emerged from the underground city now.

"Phew~ I'm exhausted. I didn't expect coming to the dungeon would be the right decision. The deeper you go, the stronger these floor masters become."

With no one around, Wang Xiaomei stretched, her tight-fitting clothes outlining her perfect figure.

"This trip has been incredibly fruitful for us weaklings," said Saeko Busujima, her joy barely concealed on her pretty face.

Living in the ordinary world, even though the world has entered the apocalypse, they have ultimately not evolved any other superpowers or special abilities.

The only way to improve your strength is through daily check-in points in the group or by completing tasks.

Her current strength is definitely sufficient in her own world, but if she wants to follow Su Luo, she naturally hopes to become stronger.

Shiro also had a look of agreement on her face.

As the lowest-ranking monster who had just joined the group, her strength had improved significantly after this journey.

She felt that it wouldn't be long before she could overtake the Demon King and give him a good beating to repay him for the "care" he had shown her during this time.

"Hestia, we're getting ready to leave."

At this moment, Su Luo suddenly spoke.

Hestia was taken aback, her face showing surprise: "You're leaving already? Don't you plan to stay a little longer and experience the life of adventurers?"

The so-called adventurer's life consists of conquering dungeons, bringing magic stones back to the adventurer's guild to exchange for money, and then having a good drink in a tavern.

Now that Su Luo and the others have finished exploring the dungeon, according to their original plan, they should go to Orario to find a restaurant to celebrate.

She would at least return to a hotel or the old church where she lived to replenish her magic.

But I didn't expect them to leave so quickly.

She was planning to get another free meal.

"You're planning to mooch another night, aren't you?" Su Luo looked at Hestia with amusement.

Hestia blushed and subconsciously said, "No, it's just that you've had a hard day and didn't stay to celebrate before you left, so I was thinking of inviting you to a restaurant in Orario for a meal."

"Do you have money?" Kaguya Houraisan asked Hestia in surprise.

Is this guy planning to treat everyone and then have them pay the bill?

After all, Hestia wasn't the wealthy family that had developed its clan into a large household later on; she only had the financial resources she had now.

They probably can't even guarantee they'll have enough to eat.

Not to mention inviting so many of them to dinner.

"Ahem... Of course I do. I am a god, after all. Isn't it normal for me to have my own little treasury?" Hestia said a little guiltily.

“Yes, it’s money redeemed with points from the group chat’s shop,” Claudia bluntly stated.

Seeing the other person's smiling face, Hestia couldn't help but recall Loki, that wicked woman.

"If you see through something but don't say it, then you won't have to worry about me backing out of the deal, right?"

Hestia wasn't embarrassed, or rather, she was numb to it.

Now that I have money in hand, I feel confident no matter what. I can splurge in front of others and take this opportunity to let them know that I have money.

So that when I recruit a familiar in the future, I won't be left with no one who wants to join.
