Chapter 118: Flight and the Gift of Hephaestus

Last night, the three members of Hestia's Familia slept peacefully. This time, in his dream, Koya didn't encounter his master. Instead, he materialized a motorcycle on a large plain and shakily tried to drive it. Although his driving skills were complete in his mind, and he could even participate in a mountain bike rally, this mechanical means of transportation was too unfamiliar to Koya.

Keya's situation now resembled that of a newly minted lawyer. He had mastered all the legal texts he needed, but becoming a true master lawyer still required real practice. Over the course of one night, Keya had gone from slowly accelerating to now, relying on his stamina and reflexes, being able to fully throttle and spin in circles at a top speed of 1000 kilometers per hour.

[Speaking of which, host, since you hadn't awakened before, I didn't give you any reminders to buy items. You've only known about your new skills through the power of grace, right?]

'yes. ’

In the dream, the system can communicate with Keya without any obstacles. After such a long period of recovery, Keya's main system has finally been restored. However, most of the time it is still idle and does nothing. After all, this system has been made very clear at the beginning - an idle cloud-nurturing system. The main system is to not interfere with any choice of the host. Even for tasks, Keya has to trigger the system first and then release it.

[Host, there is something I forgot to tell you.]

"What's the matter?"

Keya was in a very good mood as he was riding his motorcycle on the plain. He didn't know how to describe his current mood. He only knew that the wind blowing towards him made him feel extremely refreshed. Maybe he really liked riding a motorcycle.

[Host, there's a product I've given you that you haven't tried yet.]

"Huh? But my gift also has some strange things."

[Host, have you ever thought that you can actually fly? ]

"How can a human fly? I'm not a god."

[Then how did you fly so naturally when you were in the Terra world? ]

"Because the Black Dragon has wings, it can definitely fly!"

Yes, that's where the problem lies. Because there's no notification for items purchased before the system awakens, even if Keqing bought Keya the flying skill, he wouldn't know it. Unless he accidentally activates the skill by falling off a cliff one day, Keya will never be able to fly in his life.

The system also knew that it was useless to continue saying this, so it used some of its authority to change the scene in Keya's dream.

"Hey!"

The motorcycle suddenly disappeared, and the scene around Koya turned into blue sky and white clouds. He was now falling towards the ground at an extremely fast speed. This sudden change made Koya scream. Although he knew that even if he died in the dream, he would only gain attribute points, the feeling of falling still made him panic for a moment.

[Host, you can actually fly. Product: Air Dance. Product Description: Fly by mobilizing the energy in your body. This is a product you've owned for a long time, but you just didn't know it.]

"..."

Keya silently tried, imagining himself as a bird, flapping his arms. A minute later—with a thud, he was shattered into a pulp. But before he could even reflect on the feeling of death, he was back in the sky. After being shattered into a pulp seven or eight times, Keya finally subconsciously believed he could fly. After all, if he didn't fly, he would be driven to mental collapse...

"I can actually fly?"

Keya stood in mid-air, his entire body seemingly supported by something. He could strike all sorts of poses in this free-standing air, just as he thought. He also tried his best to fly. While it wasn't as fast as a motorcycle, flying was far more convenient. At least in the rocky mountains, a motorcycle couldn't reach its maximum speed, while flying could ignore all terrain.

The next day, Hestia and Hatsune looked at Koya, floating a meter or two above the bed, with expressions of astonishment. In this world, no adventurer had mastered the skill of flight, and even those who could fly were only able to glide briefly through the air using wind magic. But Koya lying peacefully in mid-air like this was truly unheard of.

"Koya? When will you be able to fly?"

"Logically... I should have been able to fly when I fought Goliath, but I didn't learn until last night."

Koyana was very worried. If he knew that he could fly when fighting Goliath, it would be a lot easier. But it is not too late now. At least being able to fly in this crusade is a huge good thing.

"Hestia!! Are you there?"

"Hmm, that sounds like Hefei-chan's voice."

Hestia hurried downstairs and immediately saw Hephaestus who had already walked into the yard. She was still dressed as a beautiful woman in men's clothing. In her hands was a cylindrical object wrapped in cloth that was two meters high. Hestia didn't understand why Hephaestus came to her so early with something.

"Apollo emptied his family's savings for this war game. He bought every magic sword, high-level weapon, and high-level elixir on the market. He even went to his alchemy family to buy an alchemy tool that can find monsters."

"He's really willing to do it."

Just by listening to Hephaestus' description, Hestia could guess how much money Apollo had spent on this crusade. It had to be said that having a large family was indeed a good thing. Apollo had directly used money to raise the strength of the family to a higher level. With the existence of the magic sword and high-level weapons, coupled with the number of people in Apollo's family, it was easy to conquer a Lv.4 monster, and he also used his money to solve the most troublesome search link.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that Koya also has plug-ins, otherwise he might really lose this game.

"Hestia, this is the weapon you bought from me on loan. Remember to pay me back."

"Huh? Ohhhh, thank you, Hefei-chan. So this is?"

"I forged this two-handed sword myself, engraved with sacred text. It possesses the properties of indestructibility and growth. I originally intended to give it to you as a housewarming gift for your clan, but yesterday, after it was completed, your war game was already underway, so I couldn't give it to you for free now. But it's okay. Once this war game is over, just search the Apollo clan for some rare materials and give them to me."

Chapter 119: The Game Begins

At noon, facing the hottest sunshine, the Hestia family and the Apollo family were ready to go at the two gates. Koya did not plan to bring Hatsune Miku with him on this expedition. After all, it was just a Lv. 4 monster, which was not a difficult task for Koya. Moreover, Koya had awakened his flying ability, so his methods of dealing with monsters were much more flexible than before. If he brought Hatsune Miku with him, he would have to give up a large part of his mobility because he would have to divert his attention to protect her. After explaining the pros and cons clearly, Hestia readily accepted Koya's request to go alone.

"Koya, be careful."

"I know Hestia."

Then Hestia turned around and spoke to the three people from Loki's family, including Ais.

"If Koya's life is in danger, please rescue him."

"Understood, Goddess Hestia."

Incidentally, the three Loki Familia sent to inspect the competition were Koya's old acquaintances: Ais and the Amazon sisters. Meanwhile, the Apollo Familia were led by Ota, Orario's only current Lv. 7. It's safe to say this war game was truly massive.

Faced with such an intriguing competition, the gods naturally wouldn't sit around waiting for the results. Aisi and Ota each held a divine mirror, capable of transmitting everything reflected back to their corresponding mirror, regardless of distance. Currently, those two matching mirrors hang in the arena where the Ganesha family held their last Warrior Festival. Two twenty-meter-long and twenty-meter-wide square screens display all the happenings of Koya and Apollo's family in real time.

The seats around the arena are now all full, with even more people than at the last Brave Festival. The war game... is indeed a grand event that cannot be missed for everyone except the contestants.

Unlike Koya's side who went into battle lightly, Apollo sent all his clan members. Those who had their limbs or spines broken by Koya were standing there safely. It can only be said that Orario's treatment technology is indeed trustworthy.

The only Lv.3 of these Apollo Families and also the leader of the Apollo Families was standing at the gate, waiting for the guild to announce the start. He had no intention of communicating with the family members behind him. Hyacinthus, who possessed several magic swords, was confident that he could fight the monsters of Lv.4, the God of War.

"Apollo has good taste. The children in his family are all very handsome."

"His family has nothing else to be praised for."

"Well, after all, they are a large Familiar in Orario."

Judging from their preparations alone, most people are optimistic about Apollo's family. After all, one side has sufficient numbers, complete supplies, and guaranteed strength, while the other side only has one person who has nothing on him except that strange alchemical prop, and he looks unreliable at first glance.

The gods spent vast sums of money to vote for Apollo's Familia, while the few Families who understood the situation, such as Loki's and Freya's, voted for Hestia's Familia without hesitation. How could a mortal be compared to a hero? Even though Koya was only one person, Loki and Freya still believed in him.

"You little brat, if you transfer to the Apollo family, I won't let Aisi and Lefiya continue to date you no matter what. You've got to show some real ability for your future wife!"

Loki sat in the arena's VIP room, muttering to himself, while Livilia, beside him, covered her forehead with a helpless expression, though she didn't say anything. Next to Loki's family, Freya couldn't take her eyes off Zengkoya for a moment. In her eyes, Zengkoya was like a dazzling diamond, captivating her beyond measure.

In a short time, the Originium, which Freya had originally thought would require time to polish, had become perfect, needing no unnecessary polishing. It was the most perfect thing in the world. Freya's love for him was beyond words. Freya, the most beautiful woman in the world, stared blankly at Koya, her eyes blurry, drooling at the corners of her mouth, the look of a complete nymphomaniac...

Finally, the sun rose to the center of the world. With the order from the staff at the gate, the war game that would determine the fate of the two clans officially began, and cheers rang out in the arena at just the right time.

Koya also gripped the accelerator at the first moment. With the roar of the engine, he rushed out of the south gate like an arrow. The three members of Loki's family who stayed in place were confused. This alchemical tool... was created by that god, how could it be so fast!

Aisi and the others quickly rode their horses to catch up, but the horses' legs were as powerful as a nuclear-powered super motorcycle, and in the blink of an eye, Koya's back disappeared into the mirror. The gods in the arena were so shocked that they jumped out of their seats. What the hell was this thing? How could it run so fast?!

"Holy crap! Which god friend developed this machine? Build me one!"

"I want it too! I want it too! Don't hide it, my fellow gods! Good things like this need to be shared!!"

"Could it be the work of that Daedalus guy? I remember he really liked tinkering with these new things."

"Probably not. His alchemical tools are usually very crude. He probably can't make such a delicate work."

The arena was filled with the wails of the gods, but no one came out to admit it. The gods thought of all the possible gods they could think of, but they refuted them one by one, and they had no idea who had done this.

As for the Apollo Familia? No one paid any attention the moment Keya's motorcycle roared. Their departure was certainly impressive, with the dust kicked up by the galloping of over a hundred horses a truly spectacular sight. But it pales in comparison to the visual impact Keya brought.

The focus returned to Ai Si and the other three. In order to catch up with Koya, Ai Si even cast a spell. The green wind surrounded the horses they were riding. The light wind made the horses feel much more relaxed, as if they were running on the clouds. They neighed happily and followed the mark left by Koya's alchemical tool at a very fast speed. But it was still useless. After all, compared to a motorcycle that can run without food or water as long as it is not broken, the horses need to rest and eat, and Ai Si's magic power also needs to be restored. In any case, the three of them would not be able to catch up with him before Koya stopped.

Chapter 120: The shock brought by technology to Orario

Although the mission was said to be in the suburbs of Orario, it was actually quite far away. Relying on horses would take at least three days. In addition to the terrain restrictions, even Koya could not reach the subjugation site within one day. At night, Koya was lighting a bonfire and setting up the tent. Ais and the other three finally caught up with him by following the traces left by Koya.

The moment the three men stopped, the wind surrounding the horses slowly dissipated. The horses were tied to the trees and gasped for breath. Thanks to the help of the wind, they were not exhausted to death after running so far. However, looking at their condition, if Koya did not stop and run a little further, the three horses might really die on the spot.

Tiona touched the three suffering horses with some heartache, took out some water and poured it on them to help cool them down, taking care of them, while Ais and Tione walked to the side of the motorcycle and looked at this magical creation curiously.

"Koya, is this also powered by magic stones?"

"It can also be considered a magic stone..."

Koya reviewed the new knowledge he had acquired from the apocalyptic world in his mind and continued speaking in a way that Aisi and the others should be able to understand.

"This vehicle's primary energy source is a mysterious mineral called uranium. This mineral contains immense energy, even purer than that of magic stones. However, this mineral is difficult to use. It emits a highly concentrated form of radiation. Even Lv. 6 adventurers who approach it unprepared will be cursed and die a painful death."

"Wow, that sounds dangerous!"

Tione quickly pulled Ais away from the motorcycle. She knew that an alchemical creation like this that could burst out with powerful force must have been created using something very dangerous.

"Don't worry, the uranium ore in this motorcycle has been sealed. As long as you don't take it out, it will just serve as a magic stone."

The three members of Koya's and Loki's Families gathered around the campfire, chatting about all sorts of topics. Diona, the quiet one, even started gossiping about how someone from one Familia was secretly dating someone from another, hiding their love from their gods, or how someone from another family had a crush on a god but didn't dare confess. Diona seemed to forget that everything she said would be transmitted intact by the mirror onto the giant screen in Orario.

Diona's sister looked at her sister who was constantly courting death with such loving care. She was a little bit looking forward to whether Diona would be beaten up when she returned to Orario. However, the group of people she was talking to might not be able to defeat this Lv.6 Big Sever.

"By the way, Koya, did you know that your current path is a bit off the map?"

"I know, but my hometown is not far away. I plan to go home first to let my grandmother know I'm safe before going to defeat that monster. After all, the chances of returning are really rare."

"Oh, speaking of which, Koya, you came to Orario from outside. What is your hometown like?"

"It's just... a very ordinary little country village. But the people in my hometown are all very nice."

"As good-looking as you?"

"My grandma is prettier than me, and the other uncles are about the same as me, just a little bit worse than me."

Ais and the other three didn't react to Koya's words; after all, they all already had someone they loved. But the gods outside the mirror were curious. After all, Koya's handsomeness was unique in Orario. Apollo had launched a war game against the Hestia Familia because of Koya's face. But now Koya said that a farmer in the countryside was just as handsome as him? This was exciting!

"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come try this. This is fried chicken, and this is beer."

"Huh? Koya, you have space skills?!"

"Well, where do you think I got this tent from? Come on and eat."

Compared to the dry food they brought with them, Aisi and the others naturally preferred to eat hot and delicious fried chicken.

"Wow! This beer is actually ice cold?! Koya, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

"Hahaha, I have other wines here, do you want to try?"

Koya smiled as he pulled out several bottles of champagne and red wine suitable for women from the warehouse. He also brought out plates of food. For a moment, the adventurers in the arena, enjoying their fast food, felt their meals were no longer tasty. They must work with the gods to renovate this mirror, at least to let them taste it. With Koya's hospitality, Tione's resentment dissipated. After all, they had chased him on horseback all afternoon. Even though they were all high-level Lv. 6 adventurers, the bumpy ride was indeed uncomfortable.

Now Tione is holding a bottle of red wine in one hand and eating skewers in the other, showing an elegance yet down-to-earth style, doing whatever makes her feel comfortable!

On the other side of the mirror, although the gods were amazed that Koya had such a rare magic as space magic, Orario had also had it before, so they were just surprised. The gods' current focus was still on the ore that Koya mentioned.

Just by listening to his description, one can understand that this is definitely a very interesting material. For example, since it has more refined energy than magic stone, if this mineral is used to forge a magic sword, will it be more powerful than the current magic sword?

For example, the vehicle that Koya rides is clearly superior to horses. Is it possible to mass-produce it? The gods are beginning to have no resistance to this newfangled toy.

"Hestia~~ Can you help me get a vehicle from Koya? I can use it to offset your debt, okay?"

"Hefei-chan, you actually still have the time to act like a spoiled child to me~~Hahahaha!"

Hestia laughed so wantonly. After all, the pitiful look of her friend begging her was so adorable. Even if she had lived for hundreds of millions of years, she could only count on one hand the number of times she had seen Hephaestus with this expression. Every time she showed this expression, it meant that she had seen new material that she could not refuse.

"I'll ask Koya when he comes back. Hefei-chan, let me tell you a little secret. That item Koya calls a motorcycle isn't a product of alchemy, but a combination of machinery. It can achieve such a high speed using only the most basic energy. Most importantly... it can be created by a mortal."

"I... Hestia! I will personally make a dagger and a full set of armor for Koya. Please be sure to give me a motorcycle!"

"Hey, deal! Let's go to our clan now. Actually, Keya gave me a motorcycle. I'll teach you how to drive it. It's very simple."

"it is good!"

Chapter 121: Koya's Small Village

The next morning, Koya brought Aisi and the other two to the small village where he had lived for over twenty years. Rice paddies, stone houses, gravel paths, a small river running through the village, and a waterwheel beside it—a typical yet rare rural scene. Most people imagine a rural village like this, but in reality, most villages outside of Orario are far from this peaceful and tranquil. It's not that there aren't Warcraft outside of Orario, they're just much rarer.

"Wow, Koya, your hometown is really nice."

Tiona sighed sincerely. She had never seen such a peaceful and tranquil village in the Amazon. Every village in the Amazon was like a barracks. The most common thing was not rice fields but training grounds. To be honest, such a peaceful village really made people feel relaxed.
