The Tower of Babel is a sky-high tower standing in the central area of Orario.
Looking across the entire maze city, there is no building taller than this one.
Its importance is beyond doubt - the entire Tower of Babel is the "lid" built on the "underground city"!
In other words, for the families and adventurers who want to explore the dungeon.
The Tower of Babel is an adventure destination that you must visit.
Because of this, there are many shops selling equipment and adventure supplies in Babel Tower.
As a family of Hephaestus famous for forging, they naturally have many stores.
However, not everyone can open a store under the name of "Hephaestus".
It concerns the reputation of the Goddess of Forging. Only blacksmiths recognized by the clan are qualified to brand the clan's emblem on the equipment they sell.
As for how to gain Hephaestus's recognition, we have to mention an event that only Hephaestus's family will hold.
Three days later, the "Melten Fire Festival" will be held.
This is a celebration spontaneously held by the followers of the Goddess of Forge.
However, for some reasons, it has also attracted the attention of many clans and high-level adventurers.
During this celebration, Hephaestus would evaluate the works presented by the members of the Familia.
If one can gain the approval of the Goddess of Forging, it will undoubtedly be a great affirmation and publicity for the blacksmith.
The clan will also allocate resources to recognized members.
For example, using the Tower of Babel's store for free for a period of time, delegating forging orders from other families, etc.
"If you want to gain the goddess's approval, ordinary mineral weapons may not be enough."
While thinking, Su Ye used his "synthesis" ability to create some items.
For example, the most basic wooden workbench and a furnace that can smelt lower-level ores.
and anvils that can be used to craft metal ingots into equipment.
These are workstations that add to your crafting list.
There will be more facilities such as Hellforge, Mithril Anvil, etc. in the future.
But these things alone were enough to fill Su Ye's little house.
Based on the materials already in the inventory, Su Ye can only synthesize a few items.
A more practical one is the "torch" made of wood + gel.
There are many types of torches in Terraria, which can emit different colors of light.
And unless it is thrown directly into the pool, it will not be extinguished even if it rains.
As for the duration, it is so shocking that it is... infinite!
In other words, as long as there is no external influence.
The torch that Su Ye rubbed can burn until the world is destroyed!
But in Terraria, such things are just the lowest-level consumables.
The gel needed to make torches can be obtained by killing "Slime" monsters.
During today's exploration, Su Ye killed a lot of slimes.
As the weakest monster, its combat power is naturally very strong and it is very easy to deal with.
As long as he doesn't panic too much, Su Ye can easily deal with it even if he encounters multiple slimes at the same time.
“I wonder if I can accumulate ‘great achievements’ by adventuring in Terraria.”
"After we kill the Slime King, let's go find Hephaestus and update our ability values."
In the short term, Su Ye does not plan to frequently visit his goddess to renew her favor.
Killing weak enemies will only accumulate minimal achievements.
Only by fighting against powerful Boss-level enemies can you obtain a large number of feats.
In other words, frying fish is useless, you have to challenge yourself.
Fortunately, Su Ye will not die in the Terraria world, so the cost of trial and error is very low.
Because he had died once, Su Ye would not be able to enter Terraria before tomorrow evening.
So the next morning, he decided to go to the Adventurer's Guild to register his information.
For Orario, where adventurers gather.
The Adventurer's Guild is almost equivalent to a semi-official organization.
In addition to the inquiry window in the guild hall, there is also a "gold exchange" where the spoils can be directly exchanged for fari.
And the "Appraisal Institute" to appraise the treasures found in the dungeon.
These are all important places related to the adventurer's career.
However, when Su Ye was about to step into the door of the Adventurer's Guild.
Suddenly a small voice came from the side.
"Big brother over there...big brother with black hair!"
Black hair is not common in Orario.
So Su Ye quickly realized that someone was calling him.
Looking back, he saw a girl, even smaller than Hestia, running towards him.
"Nice to meet you, big brother. Are you an adventurer? Do you need any 'support'?"
(Please collect ~ Please give me flowers ~)
Chapter 5: Survival of the Weak
A moment later, the two of them, holding freshly-baked potato balls in their hands, sat on the bench at the entrance of the guild.
"Well...I'm really grateful to big brother for buying me snacks."
The "dwarf" girl named Lilyluka smiled awkwardly.
"But it seems you haven't answered the previous question yet."
"Well……"
Su Ye then realized that he had probably developed a habit of feeding the animals.
Seeing a creature even smaller than Hestia, I couldn't help but feed it a portion of fried potato balls.
After thinking about it, he said casually.
"Supporter? I really need an assistant."
"Huh?! Really?!"
This answer made Lily very excited, and her amber eyes sparkled with excitement.
Her eyes couldn't help but sweep across the emblem on Su Ye's chest.
That is the symbol of the famous craftsman family in the city - the Hephaestus family!
For a supporter like her who has no fighting ability and is bullied.
If only I could get by with a member of Hephaestus's family.
It is definitely more reliable than following some adventurers from a small clan with no background.
And Lily also has her own little thoughts.
Since they are the followers of the forging goddess.
This black-haired big brother might have some high-end equipment to protect himself.
You should know that the equipment produced by Hephaestus's family has always been known for its excellence and high cost.
If she could steal one or two and resell them, she would be rich!
While thinking, Lily patted her chest without hesitation and recommended herself to Su Ye.
"Lily is an experienced supporter!"
"Big brother, are you willing to take Lily on an adventure in the dungeon?"
The petite girl looked at Su Ye expectantly with innocent and pure eyes.
The latter responded without hesitation.
"Yes, yes."
“But I haven’t registered yet.”
"……Eh?"
Lilyluka was stunned for a moment, as if thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
"'Not registered'——Isn't my brother an official adventurer yet?"
"Just as you said."
Damn it, I thought it was a handsome, rich, fat fish.
Unexpectedly, he is a completely new rookie adventurer!
There was a barely perceptible hint of disappointment in Lily's eyes, but she concealed it very well.
"Then Big Brother must want to go to the guild to register as an adventurer, right?"
"I can wait outside the door until big brother finishes the formalities!"
Su Ye looked at Lily thoughtfully.
It seems that even if he hadn't met Bell, this kid would have been a habitual offender in trapping newcomers.
Such a bad kid...needs to be properly educated.
If she really attacks me, it would be an opportunity.
After thinking about it, Su Ye showed a puzzled look.
"You won't come with me to the guild hall?"
Hearing this, the dwarf girl scratched her head and revealed a pitiful expression.
"The hall is full of aggressive adventurers. If a weak supporter like Lily appears in their sight, she will be bullied."
In fact, Lily was just afraid that her identity would be exposed by other adventurers in the guild.
The guild staff also recognized him and warned Su Ye to stay away from them.
However, what she said was not an exaggeration. The status of supporters among adventurers was indeed very low.
It is common for adventurers to exploit their supporters and delay paying their share of the adventure and remuneration.
Lily suffered the most and had many similar experiences.
"I understand."
Su Ye nodded and didn't force it.
"Then you have to wait outside for a while. I will complete the registration as soon as possible."
After reaching out and touching Lily's little head covered by the hood, Su Ye turned and left, following the crowd into the Adventurer's Guild.
After his figure completely disappeared, Lily stopped smiling and murmured softly.
"...What a strange guy."
If it is another new adventurer, the supporter's request will be approved.
They will also immediately set rules in a firm manner to determine the distribution of profits when exploring the dungeon.
But Su Ye seemed to be completely unconcerned and didn't take the matter to heart at all.
He even took her to the stall to buy some fried potato balls as soon as possible.
