I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

As she continued to eat, the aura of Xavier became more oppressive and emanated uncontrollably.

"Is it finally reaching level 6?"

Asuna sat in the corner, with her arms around her knees, looking at the tall red-haired lady not far away, and nodded silently.

After returning to the ground, if we slightly change her hair color and put on colored contact lenses, she shouldn't be recognized so easily, right?

emmmmmmmmm

Forget it, it just doesn’t seem very reliable.

The plan to have Yves change her clothes and secretly protect Belle and the others ultimately failed.

Because no matter how disguised she was, Yvis's calm face was too recognizable, and she would be discovered by Loki's family after a little probing.

Moreover, the incident seemed to be related to Ais, and Asuna didn't think that Livilia and the others would give up their investigation of Xavius ​​because of this.

"It seems like we can only leave her in the dungeon or the warehouse."

As time passed, the fluctuations in Yvis' body slowly calmed down, and a level 6 magic stone allowed her to break through that barrier.

Finally, he made a complete breakthrough from the half-step lv.6 and was no longer in the embarrassing state of being able to beat lv.5 but not escape lv.6.

Afterwards, Asuna brought the upgraded Xavius ​​to the 51st floor again. Without the interference of those larvae-type monsters, the monsters on the 51st floor cooperated very well and became Xavius's sparring partners.

With Asuna around, Xavier would naturally not be in danger of her life. Even if she was, for Xavier, there was no injury that could not be cured by a magic stone.

Therefore, the current battle situation quickly changed from one-sided devastation and one-sided avoidance to confrontation and counterattack. As for how many magic stones Yvis had eaten to repair her injuries during this period, not to mention it for now, just looking at her tattered clothes was enough to show the fierceness of the battle.

Afterwards, after becoming familiar with the feel of level 6, Yvis was put into the warehouse by Asuna and turned into a human-shaped Q-version figurine, lying there quietly.

Around her, there are dozens of small monster figures. These are the enhanced species killed by Asuna. Because Asuna did not collect the magic stones, they did not explode and turn into ashes. Instead, they were stored in the warehouse by Asuna.

After consuming a large amount of magic stones, he transformed it into his own pet. Its strength remained unchanged, but its intelligence...

When has the intelligence of monsters ever been reliable?

Some monsters' intelligence even improves to a certain extent after becoming their "pets", which really makes people complain about their previous low intelligence.

In addition to harvesting a large amount of magic stones and materials, Asuna also stored some strange and bizarre things from the deep layer into the warehouse.

For example, minerals, plants, etc.

While taking a break in the corridor between crowdfunding group ④５６１２７⑨４０ on the two floors, he clicked on it and looked at the item descriptions on the panel one by one.

I have to say that the dungeon is really productive, and all kinds of things can be produced here. Asuna almost developed a collecting habit because of this. Whenever she saw something interesting, she couldn't help but put it in the warehouse for identification.

After finishing her work with Yves, Asuna headed back to the ground.

They didn't meet any acquaintances along the way. Although Asuna didn't have many acquaintances in Orario, this was also related to the huge area of ​​the dungeon.

After all, you are not always lucky enough to meet your friends.

Because the floors we went to were too deep, the return journey took some extra time.

When passing by the Eighteenth Floor, Asuna took a special look at the adventurer town that was destroyed by the giant carnivorous plant monster, but found that it had already been rebuilt.

"These adventurers are the truly useful construction workers."

With a sigh, Asuna left. When passing by the upper floor, although she sensed the presence of Belle and Alisa, Asuna did not go over to peek at them. After all, after such a long period of fighting, they have grown into qualified adventurers. As long as they don't commit suicide by entering a floor that is far beyond their strength, there is basically no danger to their lives.

Therefore, Asuna did not disturb them and just let them level up in peace.

"Hmm? Eina isn't here either..."

Arriving at the guild hall, Asuna put on her cloak again and looked at the people around her, but she did not find her half-elf sister.

Probably busy with other things.

Let’s go find the god Hephaestus first. I don’t know how her research is going.

A few minutes later, Asuna, wearing a large backpack and a hooded cloak, arrived at the Hephaestus family's residence.

"Long time no see, Asuna."

The goddess with a large eye patch on her right eye looked up at the person who came. After confirming that only Asuna would wear that outfit, she took out two things that looked like jewelry from the desk.

"Well, long time no see, God Hephaestus."

Asuna placed the backpack that was hiding her from view on the ground, and then sat down on the sofa with the god Hephaestus.

"This is the prop I promised you. It can completely cover up your goddess-like charm and reduce your presence. It's a bit troublesome to make, so it took a little longer."

On the coffee table was a hollow necklace and ring. They looked quite simple, like something from a street stall, with no effort put into polishing the pattern.

However, considering that the purpose of this prop is not to attract people's attention, it is reasonable to make it like this.

"Excuse me, there is still some difference left from before...how about using these materials to offset it?"

Asuna took out some flying dragon teeth and cannon dragon scales from the backpack beside her. Since the quantity was not large, their value was only about tens of millions of Wallis.

After all, these are materials from monsters below the 50th floor. Even if the quantity is not large, it is still around tens of millions.

Then, Asuna took out some materials from other monsters and stopped when the total amount reached 200 million Valis.

"You've been hunting monsters in the deep these days?"

The corner of Hephaestus' mouth twitched. Looking at the capacity of the backpack... could there be other good things that haven't been taken out?

Chapter 40 The Embarrassed God of Forging

As the god of forging, Hephaestus is very eager for some rare materials.

However, due to the shortage of precious materials, even she rarely has the opportunity to use metals or materials from deep in the dungeon to create equipment or weapons.

Because if you want to go deeper, you usually need to rely on your clan’s expedition to have the opportunity to explore.

Normally, even those first-level adventurers only hunt monsters in the lower levels.

Because the deep layer can no longer be explored by a single adventurer alone, it is necessary to rely on the cooperation between clan members to proceed relatively safely.

only……

"It seems that the level of this child's family members is still at level 1... Could it be that she is exploring the deep layer alone?"

Looking at the precious materials and minerals on the table, God Hephaestus held his chin with one hand, with a hint of doubt in his left eye.

Not long ago, the expedition of Loki's family failed because they encountered a kind of insect with a highly corrosive liquid. In order to deal with that monster, Loki's family spent a lot of money to place a lot of orders with various forging families to buy or forge weapons with indestructible properties.

However, the floor where Loki's family stopped...

Looking at the flying dragon scales and cannon dragon teeth on the table, two exclusive drop items belonging to the dungeon below the 50th floor, God Hephaestus couldn't help but fall into silence.

"Is it because there are no family members to hold him back, so he can break through the siege without any worries, or is it..."

Well, anyway, Hestia has really found a treasure. I hope nothing will go wrong.

Hephaestus called her family members to take away the precious materials on the table, and Asuna paid off her debt and put on the rings and necklaces.

"Want to try?"

Seeing that Asuna seemed a little hesitant about whether to take off her hood, God Hephaestus leaned forward slightly and suggested curiously.

To be honest, she was also quite curious whether the two pieces of equipment she made could completely suppress the charm that was similar to the ability of the goddess of beauty. After all, the equipment and weapons she made before never had the function of suppressing charm.

Hephaestus considered herself not only a deity, but also a blacksmith.

And as a natural craftsman, she never intends to complete the weapons and equipment she makes half-heartedly, because that goes against her policy.

Although it was Hestia who brought Asuna to ask him to make these two pieces of equipment, as a world-famous Hephaestus family, it was impossible for him to work for others for free, even if it was his good friend... Although that guy had been eating and drinking for free in his family before...

But even so, weapons of different grades should have corresponding prices. Although her good friend seems to have reformed recently, she still has to stick to her principles. She won't cut corners, but she also won't work for free.

In addition, Asuna's charming ability is similar to that of a goddess, so even she has been struggling for a long time with the materials and forging techniques.

But speaking of it, just like the innate bug-level charm ability of the goddess of beauty, Hephaestus also relied on her own efforts to possess the bug-level forging ability. After all, hundreds of millions of years of blacksmithing career is no joke. Like the goddess of beauty, as soon as she appeared in this world, she had a huge advantage over those gods who had no special abilities and could not use divine power.

After all, gods like them came down because they were too bored, and there were not many gods like her who practiced forging for fun. For example.

——Hestia.

Not only was this guy not one of the first group to go down to the mortal world, but after going down there he had been staying in my house and eating and drinking for free. If I hadn't driven her out, I wouldn't have happened to meet Asuna.

For Hephaestus, those artifacts in the eyes of mortals, she can easily mass-produce surpassing versions, which are the super artifacts they imagine. Such things are not difficult for her at all.

On the contrary, this was the first time she had made the kind of equipment Asuna had requested.

Before this, all the adventurers needed were protective gear and weapons. But when they were in the God Realm, many goddesses and showy gods would ask them to make some decorative artifacts.

After arriving in the netherworld, because the fees were too expensive, there were no more gods with money to spend coming to him to make accessories and other equipment.

"Sure enough, we should have charged the fee when we were in the God Realm."

God Hephaestus felt a little regretful. When he thought about how he had helped other gods to create countless artifacts for free over the years, he felt that he had been at a great disadvantage.

I was young and ignorant back then, so how could I let those guys take my things for free!

Next time when those guys come to ask me to make equipment for them, I’ll charge them a little more.

As soon as he thought of this, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the face of God Hephaestus.

"Not yet. There's no rush."

Asuna did not change her cloak, and planned to ask Hestia to help her after returning to her family. After all, she had other things that needed the help of God Hephaestus.

"Well, I want to see the effect of this equipment with my own eyes. If that's the case, let Hestia tell me next time."

Hephaestus leaned back in fascination, leaning against the sofa's pillows, his face not seeming to show much disappointment.

"By the way, have you found anything about the equipment I gave you before?"

“Um… well… there are some results… Yeah, some pretty good equipment!

The forging technique is very novel, giving people a refreshing feeling, um... um... what's the matter, Asuna?"

Hearing Asuna's words, God Hephaestus immediately touched her fiery red short hair, stood up and walked to the window. It seemed that she had reviewed a lot of documents before Asuna came, which caused her to overstrain her eyes. At this moment, she wanted to look at the scenery outside the window to relax her eyes.

She pretended to have gained a lot, there was no flaw in her tone, and she completely ignored the fact that she had gained nothing.

After all, he was the God of Forging! How could there be any equipment that he couldn't study thoroughly?

If I admit that I have gained nothing, where will my face be?

As the God of Forging, you can't even tell what forging techniques the people of the Lower Realm use to make their equipment. It's so shameful. Go back to the Upper Realm!

Asuna had wanted to ask about the equipment that she had given to God Hephaestus to research.

As a result, unexpectedly, the god Hephaestus actually got something.

But... I always feel that she is a little strange now...

Chapter 41 New Materials and Values

"Hmm? That's true..."

When God Hephaestus heard Asuna's request, she couldn't help but be surprised.

It's an indestructible piece of equipment, but it has almost no defense against magic attacks?

This is the "not bad" one from that family, isn't the imbalance in subjects too serious? !

Running around in a dungeon wearing a piece of gear with max physical resistance and zero magic resistance, isn't that just looking for trouble?!

Originally, God Hephaestus did not believe Asuna's words.

However, when she asked someone to take out the protective gear that Asuna had pawned to her not long ago, and then asked the adventurers of her own family to use magical attacks, she finally believed this fact with some difficulty.

The coffee table in front of her was originally covered with precious materials that had long been taken away by adventurers from the Hephaestus clan. They were used as inventory or to create new equipment. Anyway, it had nothing to do with Asuna anymore.

At this moment, a piece of armor that had become tattered was being worked on on the coffee table.

The originally smooth surface has become bumpy, like a piece of cheap protective gear made of rotten wood, which can be crushed with a simple pinch.

The burn marks from the flames and the scorch marks from the lightning caused this low-level protective gear to suffer pain that it shouldn't have endured, and it was directly scrapped.

Although feeding it magic stones can still allow it to repair itself, its current appearance is truly horrible.

"Is the equipment on you that you need me to strengthen a weapon or protective gear?"

God Hephaestus put his hands in a pyramid shape, rested his chin on them, raised his eyebrows, and asked.

"They are all there, they are all there."

Asuna said in an awkward tone.
