Chapter 21: Weapons are more effective if you pay for them in installments!
At nightfall, in the library of Orario, Lin Mo put a book he had finished reading back and left.
On the way back, Lin Mo saw a young man in the crowd. He had short white hair and a delicate face like a rabbit, giving people the impression of a little submissive.
"Oh? I met him at this time." Lin Mo muttered in his heart.
This white-haired boy is none other than the protagonist of the world of Dicuo - Bell.
"Should I have any interaction with him?" Lin Mo calculated, thinking about the pros and cons of getting to know the protagonist at this time.
However, Lin Mo found that it didn't matter much whether he contacted the protagonist of the world or not. Knowing him or not would not affect Lin Mo's next plan and preparation.
If they know each other, even if he is introduced to the goddess Hestia, he will still be the leader of the adventurers of Hestia's family, and Hestia's feelings for Lin Mo will not be worse; if they don't know each other, then no matter how famous Bell becomes in the labyrinth city of Orario, it will not affect Lin Mo's path to becoming stronger.
The protagonist of the world of Dicuo, Bell's wish is to become a hero, while Lin Mo's wish is to become stronger, and he is not a villain either, so there will be no conflict of interest between the two.
So, what does it have to do with me?
After staring at Bell, the protagonist of the world of Dicuo for a while, Lin Mo shook his head and left.
When he returned to his and Hestia's home - the abandoned church, the loli goddess Hestia had not returned yet.
But looking at the time, it should be soon!
Since the establishment of Hestia's family, Hestia has not become a parasite who wants to rely on Lin Mo for support. Although Lin Mo is willing to let Hestia be a parasite, Hestia, who was driven out by her god friend Hephaestus because she was obsessed with becoming a parasite, has gone against her behavior and taken the initiative to work as an employee in a potato ball shop to earn money to subsidize the family.
It's not that Lin Mo can't afford to support Hestia. After all, he earns much more than other ordinary LV1 adventurers. However, his weapons and equipment are also seriously damaged. For this reason, he has to invest a lot of money to maintain his weapons and armor. Therefore, it is not as profitable as he imagined, but there is no problem in raising a loli goddess.
This should have been approved by Goddess Hestia with both hands, feet and ponytails, but Hestia still refused with difficulty.
She said confidently: "Although I originally wanted to be a parasite when I founded the Hestia Familia, but you have worked so hard for the Familia, so as a Supreme God, I naturally cannot give up.
The Hestia clan is still in its infancy, and it needs a lot of money to develop. We can't let your precious money be spent on things like this. I will work hard to make money. After all, this is a clan for the two of us!"
Of course, Hestia added at the end: "After the Hestia family is on the right track, it won't be too late for me to be a parasite, hehe!"
Having said this, Hestia went out to find a job frying potato balls, and has been working as a potato ball clerk ever since. Although the salary is not much, she has the small benefit of being able to bring back the extra potato balls in the store.
So according to past practice, Hestia would usually bring back some fried potato balls as a meal at this time.
However, today was an exception. It was already dark, the moon was high in the sky, but Hestia had not returned yet.
"Maybe he was delayed by something?" Lin Mo thought so and didn't think much about it.
As for Hestia's safety, Lin Mo was not worried. Hestia was a god, and there were no people or things in the world that could cause harm to a god.
Lin Mo took out the various divine characters written by Hestia and began to study them.
However, after a long time, it was already very late, and Goddess Hestia still hadn't returned.
Lin Mo glanced at the sky and planned to go out to look for Hestia. However, before leaving, Lin Mo suddenly remembered that when Hestia was teaching the divine language last night, he heard her say that she would be away for a few days and would not come back. However, Lin Mo was busy learning the divine language at that time and did not pay much attention to it, so he only remembered it now.
"So, Hestia went to find her friend Hephaestus." Lin Mo had read the plot, so he knew what Hestia was doing.
For Lin Mo's weapon, she wanted to ask her friend Hephaestus to make a divine weapon exclusively for Lin Mo.
"How stupid, really." Lin Mo closed the door gently and left the abandoned church.
Regarding the weapon of God, Lin Mo naturally had some ideas, but the price of at least 200 million Faris made Lin Mo hesitate. This was a friendly price given by Hephaestus for Hestia's sake.
So he had planned to save money quietly, at least 200 million faris before going to Hephaestus to create his own divine weapon.
But now that Hestia has done this for her, Lin Mo is not a weak and cowardly person.
If Hestia really had to kneel for three days and three nights for his divine weapon, Lin Mo would be heartbroken.
In the room of the Supreme God Hephaestus, where the Hephaestus clan was stationed, a petite figure was kneeling in the middle of the room.
It's Hestia!
"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.
At this moment, Hephaestus was looking at his fellow god kneeling in front of him with a headache, so he was in no mood to receive other people.
"Who is it? If it's nothing important, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"Lord God Hephaestus, it's me. I'm here to take Lady Hestia back." Lin Mo's voice came from outside the door.
This startled Hestia, who was kneeling, and she immediately signaled to her friend Hephaestus with her eyes, asking him not to let Lin Mo find out that she was here.
But Hephaestus would not indulge his friend, but directly opened the door. She was worrying about how to deal with Hestia!
Now that Hestia's follower has arrived, it's just right to hand Hestia over to him.
The door opened, and the first thing Lin Mo saw when he walked in was his own Lord God kneeling in the middle of the room.
"Oh!" Lin Mo sighed softly, walked quickly to Hestia, and picked her up from the ground.
"Mo, why are you here?" Being held in Lin Mo's arms, Hestia did not struggle, but asked guiltily.
"Of course I'm here to see you, Lord God." Lin Mo held Hestia's head and gently stroked her hair.
"I went to Lord Mihe and Lord Jian Yulei's place, but I found that you were not there. After thinking about it, I knew that you were with Lord Hephaestus. After all, Lord Hephaestus only has these few friends."
"Didn't I say that I would be out for a few days because of something? Besides, I don't have that few friends..." Seeing Lin Mo exposing her shortcomings, Hestia immediately retorted weakly.
"Although I am very touched, if there is really something difficult, then let's bear it together, Lord God, don't carry it alone." Lin Mo lowered his head and whispered in the ear of the goddess Hestia,
"This is a clan that belongs exclusively to you and me!"
"Hmm..." Hestia was so moved that she was about to say something but was interrupted by Lin Mo.
"Lord God, I already know the purpose of your coming here. Leave everything to me." Lin Mo said seriously. Then Lin Mo looked at the God Hephaestus who was being fed dog food, and said in a strong voice:
"Lord Hephaestus, I want to buy a divine weapon from you."
"Although Hestia and I are friends, you should be clear about the concepts represented by the weapons created by the Hephaestus family, right?" The goddess with fiery red hair sighed and gently pulled her blindfold with her slender fingers.
"If you want me to make weapons, the price will be beyond your means at this stage."
Although he wanted to help Hestia, as a god of the Hephaestus family, it was impossible for him to give away or sell at a low price the weapons that the family members had worked so hard to make just because of personal feelings.
"Of course I know that, so I want to buy it in installments." Lin Mo stated the solution he had come up with.
Chapter 22: Sword of Hestia
"Oh? Installment payment?" Hephaestus stared at Lin Mo, as if trying to see something from his eyes.
As a knowledgeable god, she quickly understood the literal meaning of "installment payment" proposed by Lin Mo, even without Lin Mo's excessive explanation.
"But how can you ensure that you can successfully complete the installment payment? What if you die in the dungeon?" After understanding the meaning of installment payment, Hephaestus quickly pointed out the most critical point of installment payment?
The key to installment payment is not the installments, but how to ensure repayment?
Lin Mo gave his explanation: "Here are 400,000 Fali. This is what I gained from raiding the dungeon over the past ten days. If I have good equipment, I can get 700,000 to 800,000 Fali from raiding the dungeon in a month.
If my level goes up and I conquer more dungeons, the income I can get will at least double, which means I can get an estimated 150 million faris per month. In about ten years, I will be able to collect nearly 2 million faris. This money should be enough to pay for a divine weapon, right?
Moreover, if I can use your weapon in the dungeon strategy, then the money spent on daily weapon wear and tear can be greatly reduced, which means that I can save more money to speed up the repayment of the divine weapon. Maybe it won’t take ten years, and I can pay off this huge debt in installments. "
"That's very well said." Hephaestus listened to Lin Mo's story. If they could really raise 2 million faris within ten years, then even paying in installments would be feasible. After all, even her weapons needed to increase sales, right?
At least 2 million Faris, which is not something most people can afford in the labyrinth city of Orario. Only a handful of top adventurers can grit their teeth and come up with it.
So, she, Hephaestus, was moved by Lin Mo's proposal.
Speaking of which, the reason why she was unwilling to agree to Hestia before was because she was worried that Hestia would not be able to pay back the money. This was not a small amount of money, but a huge sum of hundreds of millions.
Although Hestia could pay back the money by working for ten thousand or one hundred million years, by then all the relatives of her generation would be dead. In that case, would there be any point in paying back the money?
But if you can pay it off in ten years, it might be worth considering.
As for worrying about whether what Lin Mo said was a lie, there was no need to think too much about it, because mortals could not lie in front of gods, so Hephaestus could completely believe what Lin Mo said.
"But I still have the same question. How can you guarantee that you won't die in the dungeon in the past ten years? If you die, who will pay you back the money?" Although Hephaestus was tempted, he still remained rational.
"I won't die!" Lin Mo vowed, "Because I promised the Lord God that I would come back alive from the dungeon raid."
"So I will definitely pay back this huge sum of money. I swear in the name of Lin Mo."
"Mo!" Hestia, who was listening to Lin Mo's cheerful talk, stood up at this time, took Lin Mo's hand and said to her good friend Hephaestus: "This money is jointly borne by our Hestia family. I bet on my name Hestia, even if it takes ten thousand years, one hundred million years, I will work to pay back this money to you, Hephaestus. This is my lifelong request, please, my best friend - Hephaestus."
"Okay, since Hestia has said so, if I don't agree, it would make me seem too cold. I agree to this." Looking at the two who were so serious, Hephaestus nodded in agreement as if with a sigh.
"However, it's the right price. I won't give you any discount."
"Of course. Thank you, Lord Hephaestus." Seeing Hephaestus agreed, Lin Mo and Hestia were immediately delighted.
"Then you leave first. Hestia, stay. I have something to say to her." Now that the matter was settled, Hephaestus began to drive people away.
"Okay, God Hephaestus, I will leave first." Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and then left Hephaestus' room with gratitude.
"You have found a good clan member, Hestia." After Lin Mo left completely, Hephaestus turned around and sighed to Hestia.
"Hehe, I know Mo is the best." Hestia happily accepted Hephaestus' praise for Lin Mo.
…… ……
The god was very efficient. Should we say that he was worthy of being the god of forging, Hephaestus? In just a few days, Lin Mo's new weapon, the Sword of Hestia, was forged.
Lin Mo pulled the sword of Hetisya out of the scabbard and observed it carefully.
The blade of Hestia's sword is slender and black, engraved with various complex marks. In addition, there is a special spell full of magical power written in the language of gods on the blade.
He swung the sword lightly, and as if sensing its master's thoughts, the Sword of Hestia began to emit a light blue-purple glow.
The sacred feeling like a divine work of art, and the beautiful shape of the weapon are enough to instantly capture the attention of others.
This is a weapon that can grow. Because it is engraved with Hestia's own [Sacred Words], it has ability values and is like a living thing.
The divine weapon, the Sword of Hestia, was forged by Hephaestus using the rarest mithril material, and then processed by Hestia.
In other words, this weapon is like an adventurer who has received the [God's Grace]. This weapon can use the experience points gained by Lin Mo as food and also evolve.
As long as Lin Mo grows, this weapon will be strengthened accordingly. Even after Lin Mo is upgraded, this weapon can also be upgraded.
As long as Lin Mo continues to cultivate this weapon, the [Sword of Hestia] will always accompany Lin Mo in battle.
As long as Lin Mo can use this sword well, the sword will eventually completely become Lin Mo's shape.
But for now, the strength of this sword is equivalent to the ordinary weapon of LV1 adventurer, and its greatness cannot be seen for the time being.
…… ……
On the same day he got the sword, Lin Mo used it to break through the seventh floor of the dungeon in one breath. All the monsters he encountered on the way were killed by him like cutting melons and vegetables, and all were turned into magic stones with one sword.
If the backpack he carried was not too big at the end, Lin Mo could have even conquered the lower levels of the dungeon.
That night, Lin Mo took Hestia to the "Mistress of Plenty" to celebrate.
With this sword, his monster-killing speed can be greatly improved, and he doesn't have to worry about the damage to the weapon. He can also save a lot of money on weapon repairs, which greatly speeds up his repayment speed.
Chapter 4: I, Lin Mo, am not inferior to others (k chapter)
The sixth floor of the dungeon.
Lin Mo was holding the Sword of Hetisya and hunting the monsters on the sixth floor.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the distance of the sixth floor, interrupting Lin Mo's attempt to lure the monster.
"Is this... a monster riot from below?" Lin Mo squinted and looked at the group of monsters running in the distance. He found many monsters from more than ten floors of the dungeon.
"What happened down there? Why did these monsters down there run to the upper level?" Lin Mo didn't have time to think about it and evacuated quickly.
If he were besieged by these lower-level monsters, even he would be in danger of death without any preparation.
Lin Mo quickly ran towards the entrance of the fifth floor of the dungeon, wanting to escape from there. Unfortunately, the monsters were too fast, so Lin Mo only ran to the fifth floor and had to find a place to hide to avoid attracting the attention of the monsters and being besieged by them.
This was a room where he had cleared out monsters before. It was a bit hidden, so Lin Mo hid here and waited for the monster riot to pass.
After a long time, when the maze was about to give birth to a new monster in this room, Lin Mo heard the noise outside quiet down and observed the situation carefully.
"Swish..." After killing the monster that had just appeared in the maze, Lin Mo slowly stuck his head out and observed the situation on the fifth floor.
"Huff, huff, huff..." A Minotaur with two big horns was panting and staring at Lin Mo who poked his head out from the corner.
"Damn it, I met love around the corner... No, I met a minotaur around the corner." Just as Lin Mo was lamenting his bad luck, the Minotaur with red eyes was already running towards where Lin Mo was.
"What should I do? Fight or run away?" Lin Mo clenched the Sword of Hestia in his hand, thinking frantically about his solution.
With his current strength, he is probably no match for this Minotaur.
It's not a difference in skills and combat proficiency, but a real difference in level.
The Minotaur is a monster that requires a LV2 adventurer to deal with. With Lin Mo currently at LV1, the one-level difference is enough for Lin Mo to give the Minotaur a good beating.
