It took more than an hour for Bai Ke to figure out the general situation of the fourth floor. He basically knew the prices of various weapons and equipment, various services in the shops, and the reputation of each shop.
After figuring out these things, Bai Ke chose a store with a good reputation and suitable prices and services.
The long sword Hephaestus gave him, although it was considered a fine product among similar weapons, was only a low-level adventurer's weapon after all. After frequent use in the past few days, it was inevitably worn out and became a little dull, so it needed maintenance.
Of course, in addition to maintaining his weapons, Bai Ke also wanted to make something, so before that he took the time to find out the market information and choose a store with a good reputation.
After talking with the service staff in the store and confirming that a formal craftsman in the store was available, Bai Ke met with the craftsman and began to discuss.
"It's this knife I need to maintain."
In a reception room, Bai Ke handed his sword to the middle-aged dwarf craftsman opposite him.
"This sword is definitely the best among the lower-level adventurers' weapons. Even I can't forge one of this quality."
The middle-aged dwarf craftsman took the knife and stroked it eagerly. He pulled out the blade and looked at the marks left by chopping monsters. He looked distressed and said to himself:
"Don't worry, I will quickly polish and maintain you, and soon you will shine again."

Looking at the appearance of the middle-aged dwarf blacksmith, Bai Ke did not feel strange or disgusted. Instead, he felt that this was a person who loved his job and he felt more reassured about him.
"Master Senke, in addition to polishing and maintaining this knife, I would also like to entrust you to make something. I wonder if it is possible."
Bai Ke asked.
"What do you want to build?"
Senke reluctantly shifted his gaze to Bai Ke.
"I want to customize a pendant. The whole body should be made of solid metal and have two... five detachable ball ornaments. The balls should be open and have space inside."
Bai Ke directly stated the item he wanted to create, and then he said: "And my budget is 20,000 faris."
"I understand."
Senk nodded to show that he understood.
Next, Bai Ke finalized the details of the item with the craftsmen and discussed the materials and prices.
The cost of weapon maintenance plus the cost of making the pendant was finally settled at 21,000 faris. 20,000 faris was the price of the pendant, and 1,000 faris was the cost of weapon maintenance.
After paying one-third of the price in advance before leaving, the two agreed that Bai Ke would come to the store to pick up the goods tomorrow afternoon.
After finishing this matter, Bai Ke did not rush home. Instead, he took the magic stone elevator to the upper level of the Tower of Babel.
I didn’t have time to come here before, but now that I have free time, I can visit the Tower of Babel.
Compared to the people on the 4th to 8th floors, most of them are adventurers and there are relatively few ordinary people. On floors above the th floor of the Tower of Babel, ordinary people make up the majority.

There are all kinds of shops here, offering everything from food, drink and entertainment. People coming and going are travelers, businessmen, wealthy people, nobles, etc. from all over the world.
After Bai Ke walked around one of the floors, he took the magic stone elevator directly to the twentieth floor, which is also the highest place that ordinary people can reach.
From the twentieth floor onwards of the Tower of Babel, it is the realm of the gods, and mortals are not allowed to set foot there unless there are special circumstances.
With his hands on the railing, Bai Ke began to appreciate the scenery that could only be seen from a high place.
Blue sky, white clouds, gentle breeze.
Various tall buildings in the city came into view, and the people on the bustling streets looked like ants from above.
Taking most of Orario in at a glance, Bai Ke looked into the distance. Beyond Orario was an endless grassland. Under the bright sunlight at noon, the grassland was covered with a golden gauze.
“It’s so beautiful…”
Looking at the beautiful scenery here, Bai Ke couldn't help but be fascinated. His depressed mood due to what happened today inexplicably became better at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Ke came back to his senses from his trance, and the depression that had been accumulating in his heart quietly dissipated.
16 points.
"Go home first."
Bai Ke took out a watch from his arms and looked at the time. After putting the watch back in his pocket, he turned and walked towards the magic stone elevator.
After walking out of the Tower of Babel, Bai Ke went straight towards his home, but bought some ingredients on the way for food for the evening and tomorrow.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Bai Ke knocked. Soon the door was opened and a little head popped out.
"Bai Ke, why are you back so early today?"
Hestia saw Bai Ke's eyes light up, and then shouted with some surprise.
"I encountered some problems in the dungeon today, so I came back a little early."
Bai Ke didn't elaborate, and Hestia didn't ask any further questions.

After entering the room, Bai Ke first put the paper bag of food in his hand on the table, and then he put his equipment on the shelf nearby.
After finishing these things, Bai Ke said hello to his main god, then he went into the bathroom, took out his clothes and started washing up.
It took some time, and after the bloodstained clothes were washed several times and the blood stains were basically no longer visible, Bai Ke hung them on the clothesline.
After hanging up the clothes, Bai Ke had nothing else to do for a while and could finally enjoy his own time.
After pouring himself a cup of tea, Bai Ke sat on a chair at the dining table next to the kitchen. Opposite him was their main goddess Hestia, who was currently holding a book and giggling like a fool.
Bai Ke wanted to laugh when he saw this scene, but he held it back. After all, this was his own god, and he had to hold it back.
After taking a sip of tea, Bai Ke opened his task panel and started checking it.
Name: Bai Ke
Level: lv1+ (51%) [upgradable]
Ability: None
Skills: None
Magic: None
Skills: Cooking·Proficient+ (32%), Training·Proficient+ (8%), Death Fighting·Proficient+ (9%), Death Sword Skills·Proficient+ (10%)
Qianxun first release: ⒊⒈⒉⒏⒈⒋⒈⒊⒐
任务:生存3(7/15)、一日三餐(待领取5)、小怪杀手2(已完成)、救助(已完成)
Experience: 547
The personal information on the panel has undergone a lot of changes. Due to the continuous battles in the past few days, the proficiency in fighting and swordsmanship has improved a lot.
Both tasks are shown as completed. As long as Bai Ke accepts these two tasks, his total experience value will reach about one thousand, which means that he can directly upgrade a skill to proficiency.
However, none of this caught Bai Ke's attention. He stared at the changes in the level column and muttered to himself:
"So, my fighting today, or in other words, all these days combined, can only increase my ability by 1%?"
The task panel has no restrictions on training and improvement, and even has a certain degree of help to it, making it like the ability of God rewards hard work, and there will always be gains after hard work.
Of course, the ability of the panel is not as amazing as hard work pays off. Any ability can be improved through practice. This is just a small increase brought about by the skill panelization.
After all, the core of the "Task Panel" is the three abilities of mission, experience, and evolution, rather than the idea that hard work will reward you for becoming stronger.
"Tsk, the speed of improvement through training is really slow."
Bai Ke complained in his heart, but he knew very well that this was the speed at which he was working hard to improve. Compared with the improvement of the panel, his efforts could indeed be said to be as slow as a turtle.
But this is the improvement speed of ordinary adventurers. After a new adventurer works hard in the dungeon for a day, the total value that can be improved is about 10 points.
As time goes by, it will become more and more difficult to improve your ability points.
Of course, the protagonist in the original work is not included in this list. After he awakened the skill of "wholehearted admiration", the speed at which his ability value increased can be said to be extremely fast.
It took him only one and a half months to upgrade to level 2, and his ability value broke through the limit of the grace value, surpassing s999. Note that this is a breakthrough in all ability values.
You should know that even the current world record holder, Ess Wallenstein, took a whole year to reach level 2.
You can imagine how huge the gap between the two is.
However, what prevents adventurers from improving is not only their ability values, but also the existence of "great achievements".
The reason why great achievements are called "great achievements" is that they can only be achieved by overcoming things that ordinary people cannot overcome.
Adventurers are called "adventurers" because they move towards these insurmountable things, so they are called "adventurers" by people.
Only by crossing a chasm that ordinary people cannot cross can adventurers be promoted to level 2. Because of this reason, adventurers are divided into lower-level adventurers and higher-level adventurers.
In order to encourage these adventurers who are ready to face death and advance to level 2, the gods will grant them various titles.
This is a symbol of recognition. Only adventurers with a title can be called true adventurers.
Of course, many Gods of Fun like to see the brave adventurers’ expressions broken when they hear their strange titles, so there are many strange titles for senior adventurers.
"Luckily, I also have a cheat after traveling through time. Otherwise, it would be unknown whether I could survive in this world, let alone have the strength I have now."
Bai Ke thought secretly in his heart, and then he turned his attention to the option of "upgradeable".
After a slight hesitation, he carefully focused his mind on it, and the next second, a prompt message appeared.
[Experience has reached the upgradeable standard, do you want to upgrade? ]
"no!"
Bai Ke did not hesitate and silently rejected it.
He doesn't want to upgrade to level 2 now, as this would be a waste of his potential. He wants to reach the maximum level before upgrading.
Although with his current experience, he can fill up the level in the next second and then upgrade the level.
But in order to adjust his mind and body, Bai Ke needs to spend time. According to the current progress, it will take four or five days at most to raise his ability value to the maximum level.
Bai Ke can afford to wait this long.
At the same time, through the "upgradeable" option, Bai Ke also confirmed one thing, that is, for him now, gods are no longer useful.
Now, even without the existence of the main god, Bai Ke can live well, his ability values and levels will still improve, and he does not need to rely on the updates of gods at all.
The only constraint the gods have on him now is that their ability values are sealed after they return to heaven. This ability is not triggered after death, but can be used by the gods at any time.
The only thing Bai Ke cannot guarantee now is whether his ability value will be sealed, so the Tear of the Goddess is prepared for this purpose and is his last way of retreat.
However, Bai Ke was unwilling to see either of these two results. The former was his dereliction of duty, while the latter was his negligence.
Although it has been confirmed that whether or not to have a main god has no impact on him now, since he has become Hestia's family, he naturally has to do his job well. Moreover, he still likes this main god very much. It's not the kind of love, but just pure love for his personality and appearance. It feels good to stay here now, and Bai Ke has no intention of leaving.
ps: I don’t have any drafts saved, so I can only code now, so future updates may be later.
Chapter 24: Ascension
Bai Ke then looked at the task bar. After thinking about it, he only chose to receive the "kill monster" task reward and did not receive the other reward.
The "Elf's Tears" in that reward is obviously similar to the real "Goddess's Tears" based on its name. So I might as well store it in the task bar first and claim it after the pendant is customized.
【547→847】
As Bai Ke received the reward, the numbers in the experience column changed, and at the same time, the serial tasks of killing monsters were triggered again.
[Ding~ trigger serial tasks]
【Name: Monster Killer 3】
[Difficulty 1 Stars]
[Introduction: Please hunt down 100 monsters.] (Note: Come on~)
【Reward: 500 experience points. 】
【Do you want to accept this task? 】
This time, apart from the changes in quantity and experience, there are no major changes in the serial tasks, just like before.
Bai Ke took a quick look and directly chose to accept the task. How could he not accept a task that would give him experience?
[Skills: Cooking·Proficient+ (32%), Training·Proficient+ (8%), Death Fighting·Proficient+ (9%), Death Sword Skills·Proficient+ (10%)]
Bai Ke set his eyes on the skills column, looking over the fighting and swordsmanship, wondering which skill he should improve.
The current experience is enough to max out the level, and there is even some left over. Naturally, this surplus should be used to improve one's own strength, and combat skills are the best way to improve one's strength right now.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Ke finally decided to think about this matter in the evening. Even if he made a decision now, he couldn't add any points directly, as that would attract the attention of his own master god.
