"I feel like this is something Loki would do..."
Sighing, Lieyan tried hard to control himself from looking at the messy scenes around him.
"I'm going to go over there and change into my casual clothes."
"Okay, go ahead. I'm just tidying up the room."
Loki waved his hand without any shame and started to clean up. But to be honest, it was more like simply moving things around. For example, the books that were originally on the bed appeared on the floor...
Chanting a spell, Lieyan opened the portal, picked up the package, and went in. Not long after, the portal opened again, and Lieyan, dressed in casual clothes, returned to Loki's room.
At this time, Loki also cleared a space on the bed, moved a round stool to the front of the bed, and placed a full set of instruments at hand.
Lieyan sat on a round stool with his back to Loki. He took off his shirt with ease, revealing his muscular torso.
Placing his bleeding fingers on Lieyan's back, Loki skillfully unlocked the door and said, "Actually, I feel like this is your first adventure today, so there's no need to come to me to update your ability values so soon."
Lieyan closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of the divine blood spreading behind him.
"You're right, but actually my purpose today is not just to update my ability values, but to confirm one thing. I went to the thirteenth floor today."
"The thirteenth floor?! You went down to the thirteenth floor the first time you entered the dungeon?"
Loki's hand trembled, and the unlocking action went astray. He didn't care that the previous operation was wasted. He had to prick his finger again to release new divine blood. Loki opened his eyes wide, extremely surprised.
To be honest, Loki had anticipated that Lieyan would perform well in his first entry into the dungeon, but he did not expect that he would reach the middle level in one breath. Although you have high-level adventurers as your backup, you are a little too reckless!
"Well, the monsters on the upper floor pose no threat to me, not even a warm-up, so I asked Raul to take me to the middle floor. I returned after hunting three hellhounds there. My goal this time is to confirm the extent of the attribute value growth, so as to decide which floor to venture to next."
"I see... Wait, you killed three hellhounds?! Alone? Raul didn't help?"
"Correct."
"What about the magic stones and dropped items?"
"I gave the magic stone to Master Daowen for research. The dropped item is here."
Lieyan opened his palm and showed Loki the white sharp tooth. Loki glanced at it and knew that it was a genuine item dropped by the hellhound. Then, Lieyan added,
"I didn't hand in the materials for the hellhound to the guild. I only handed in the magic stones and dropped items from the monsters in the upper dungeon. But even if I handed in the magic stones for the hellhound, no one would think that I hunted it myself."
"...That's not necessarily true. Let's not talk about the others, but the old guy who's in charge of the guild, heh heh."
Loki snorted twice, then picked up the silver needle beside him and tried again, continuing to unlock the door.
"I understand what you mean. You are worried that the monsters on the upper floors will not allow you to accumulate experience, so you came to me."
"It's good if you understand."
"Hey! You really don't have any respect for me! But never mind, other kids don't have this thing either. Okay, it's unlocked successfully, let's take a look..."
Loki rolled his eyes, then set his sights on his ability values.
When updating the abilities of male members, Loki doesn't do too many fancy things. He usually goes straight to the point and solves it as quickly as possible, saving time to tease female members.
Of course, in response to this, the female members also made corresponding countermeasures, such as gathering together and letting the Loki assembly line update its ability values within a day, or simply making direct physical threats with force.
"First, I have good news for you,"
He first looked at the ability value that Lieyan was concerned about. After noticing that it had changed, Loki smiled and said, "Your ability value has grown, and the growth rate is also very good. I will write down the data for you later and you can take a look for yourself."
Hearing this, Lieyan felt relieved. As long as there was growth, it was fine. With a goal, all that was left was to keep grinding. In this respect, the dungeon was better than the hunting in Monster Hunter World. The monsters in the dungeon were constantly refreshing, so he could keep grinding.
I just don’t know how much my abilities have grown.
Chapter 23: Bad news, only a little bit
"Okay, turn around first."
Loki continued his unfinished work, dripping divine blood, extracting experience from the ripples on Flame's back. After confirming that the sacred text of the ability values engraved between the ripples of Flame had faded, he used the experience as material to update the ability values, re-engraved them on Flame's flesh, and then locked the information again to make the ability values disappear. Only then did he take the parchment and copy the ability values.
"Here, here you go."
Loki reached out his hand, crossed his arm that was like a mountain range, and handed over a summary of abilities. Considering that Lieyan had not yet started learning the universal language, Loki, who had learned the numbers used by Yanhuo Village while visiting that world, simply translated the ability values into the Yanhuo Village version so that Lieyan could understand it.
Lieyan took the parchment and was about to say that he could not understand the common language, but when his eyes fell on the flame language on the parchment in his hand, his heart warmed slightly.
There are only three lines of words on this parchment. The first row of words are crooked, but they should be his name. In the second line, you can understand a number 1, which should represent the level. There are more numbers in the third line, a total of five items. If nothing unexpected happens, that is his ability value.
Lieyan narrowed his eyes slightly and watched his abilities grow.
Flames
Level 1
力量：I，0→5耐久：I，0→2灵巧：I，0→3敏捷：I，0→1魔力：I，0→1
In the world of Dicuo, ability items are divided into ten stages: S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. Before the ability value, there are often words representing the stage, which can intuitively display the level and changes of the ability value.
Among the five basic ability items, there is also the concept of proficiency, which is the number after the current stage. In fact, it is the amount of attribute value that can be converted from the experience accumulated by the gods' followers and used by the followers themselves.
This number will not disappear as the gods' followers reach a higher level of ability, but will continue to accumulate.
0~99 is I, 100~199 is H, and so on, 900~999 is S.
Only when the adventurer increases his level will the levels of these ability values disappear, but they do not disappear. Instead, they become hidden values and become the cornerstone of the next self-growth.
"The ability value data is so low..."
Looking at the changing numbers on the parchment, Lieyan frowned slightly.
Although he was mentally prepared, to be honest, the fact that all attributes were only increased by twelve points was not very satisfactory.
However, the low growth data also reflected some information that Lieyan was originally uncertain about.
From this data, Lieyan can basically conclude that the monsters on the upper level, whether it is the Goblin on the first level or the War Shadow on the sixth level, will not bring him any attribute growth after killing them.
But it is also true that the upgrade rule of the world of Dicuo is that "even if you defeat a lot of weak monsters, it will not help much in improving the numerical value of your abilities."
In addition, judging by the magnitude of this data increase, it is hard to say whether the three hellhounds he killed in the middle layer brought any attribute growth. There is a possibility that the growth is very small, and it is also possible that there is almost no improvement like the monsters in the upper layer, but Lieyan is more inclined to the former.
As for why the experience brought by the hellhound is negligible, the monsters on the upper level can't bring any experience at all, and the flame can still have a twelve-point ability improvement.
Lieyan thought that if nothing unexpected happened, the reason why his strength and durability attributes would increase was because he was wearing a heavy armor that was a mix of Rock Dragon and Earth Sand Dragon equipment...
Carrying weight is an excellent training for strength and endurance, and the weight of the heavy armor of the Rock Dragon and the Earth Sand Dragon can be considered as a burden even for the Flame, not to mention that the Flame also carries a shield axe at the same time.
……
As expected, I still need to go deeper into the dungeon to grow my attributes. I will try to go deeper next time.
"How is it? How do you feel about your growth?"
Loki held up his bent leg and asked with a smile,
"To be honest, I'm not very satisfied, but I have confirmed my idea, so the next step is the next level of experiment."
The flames speak the truth.
"You must do what you can. You are our clan's hope to become the number one in Orario. We don't want anything to happen to you."
"Yes."
"It's dinner time, let's go have dinner."
"it is good."
There were several long tables in the huge restaurant. According to Loki's policy of "eating together", everyone would eat together after the patrolling clan members came back. Therefore, the people who came to the restaurant before the meal time would generally divide into various small groups to talk about topics of interest.
Like which Hephaestus weapon shop has new products, or what heroic deeds happened when I went to the dungeon. In short, it's a happy and harmonious atmosphere.
However, when Lieyan arrived at the restaurant, the topic in the restaurant inexplicably shifted to Lieyan.
"I heard that Mr. Lieyan is the pharmacist? That new recovery potion is really useful!"
"That's right. This morning, Mr. Lieyan distributed some other potions to everyone. There are many kinds! I got a potion that can remove all the odors on my body, so I also got the item dropped by the Sniffer Rat. What about you?"
"Sniffing rat? The super rare one that can be made into a potion to enhance the sense of smell? I'm so envious. The one I got is a recovery potion..."
"I was given a potion that can improve defense, but I haven't been able to use it yet..."
"The powder potion I was given is very useful. Just sprinkle it on the wounds on your body and they will heal. It's much more convenient than recovery medicine, and it's easy to carry!"
"And I!"
"Look, everyone is talking about you and your potion."
Just when Lieyan was feeling a little embarrassed, Finn came over and said with a smile,
"I just took advantage of the convenience of raw materials. It's not worth mentioning."
"Everyone is very interested in your potion, that's enough. How does it feel to be on your first adventure?"
"It feels... okay. My ability value hasn't improved much, but I've found the reason. I just need to conduct more experiments to eliminate other possibilities."
"That's fine."
Finn did not ask too many questions about Lieyan. After two days of contact, he had already understood that Lieyan was a man who was very sensible in major matters and would do his best to pursue stability, but was casual and friendly in private. He believed that Lieyan had his own sense of propriety when it came to adventure.
"Oh, by the way, do you remember that Loki said he would find you a teacher to learn the Common Language?"
"of course."
"The teacher has already been chosen."
"Really?" Lieyan suddenly perked up. "From what I've seen these past two days, everyone in the clan seems to be very busy. Who did Loki find to take the time out to teach me the common language?"
"it's me."
As soon as Lieyan finished speaking, a voice sounded beside his ears. A tall elf beauty with emerald hair came closer with a smile on her face.
"I, Livilia Rios Alver, will teach you the Common Tongue and the Sacred Words."
Chapter 24: Night, Tutor
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"
"Please come in."
On a night when the moon was rising, there was a knock on the door of one of the rooms in the tower.
In the room, Livilia continued, while she simply rolled up her emerald hair with her bare hands, letting it hang over her thin shoulders and in front of her chest.
Lieyan pushed the door open and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
