After thinking for a moment, Hephaestus added.
"Didn't you make a magic sword without [Forging] before?"
"If we look at other development capabilities, there may be better options."
"Yes...I understand, goddess."
Su Ye nodded. There were three [Development Abilities] in front of him for him to choose from.
One of them is [Forging], and the other two are [Mystic] and [Stigma Alchemy]
"Wait, what the hell?!"
After reading to the end, Su Ye seemed to have thought of something and his eyes widened in surprise.
"This development ability... is it serious?!"
(P.S. Thank you all for your tips, flowers and tickets. I will update today!)
Chapter 47: The Adventurer's House with a Booming Business
If the third development ability [Stigma Alchemy] is really as Su Ye thought.
Then he can only be thankful that the ability value does not describe the detailed effects of developing abilities.
In fact, even the gods who bestow divine favors and create [ability values] cannot fully know what abilities their followers will have.
In other words, even the gods cannot imagine how humans in the lower world can grow from [great deeds].
For this reason, information about developing capabilities depends entirely on continuous practice and analysis of existing intelligence.
Most of the development abilities are pretty generic, and there are a lot of repetitive effects.
Of course, there is also a very small chance that a new ability with powerful effects and never before seen will appear.
Such abilities are called "rare abilities"——
There is no doubt that the [Stigma Alchemy] that appears in Su Ye’s ability value is a truly rare ability.
"It's such a headache."
Hephaestus rubbed her brows. If it was just a common ability like [Abnormal Resistance] or [Hunter], she could still provide some suggestions.
But now the three abilities that Su Ye can choose from are all quite good.
[Forging] Needless to say, a blacksmith with this ability can make better equipment.
[Mystery] is the development ability related to potions, magic props, and alchemy.
It is said that by taking [Mystery] to its extreme, one can create the [Philosopher's Stone] that can grant people immortality!
As for [Stigma Alchemy]... Hephaestus didn't know much about it, but it was certain that it was a rare ability.
"It's up to you to choose between these three abilities."
The goddess handed the question back to Su Ye, but still reminded him.
"In this regard, you can go to your adventure consultant for advice."
Su Ye’s adventure consultant is Miss Aina.
If she knew that the new adventurer in her charge reached Lv2 in just half a month, she would probably be so surprised that her mouth would not close.
However, Su Ye shook his head, he had already made up his mind.
"My Lady Goddess, I choose [Stigma Alchemy] as my development ability."
"you sure?"
Hephaestus was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect Su Ye to make the decision on the spot.
"Although this may be a rare ability, no one knows what effect it will have."
"If the effect doesn't suit you, you might as well choose the other two."
Su Ye thought to himself, it’s a good thing you don’t know what effect it has, otherwise he would have been killed on the spot today.
In addition, there is another benefit to choosing [Stigma Alchemy].
That is, after obtaining the development ability related to "alchemy", it can explain why there are so many magic potions and even magic books in his shop.
In the past, I could get away with it by saying “I have a friend”.
As the number of magic props in the store increased and they became more and more advanced, this excuse no longer worked.
Now I happen to have the ability of [Sacred Mark Alchemy], which solves a problem at the same time.
"Just choose it."
Su Ye did not change his mind, but added another sentence.
"But I want to upgrade in a day or two, is that okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Hephaestus was stunned when she heard this, but quickly understood Su Ye's thoughts.
"Do you want to raise the remaining 'Agility' to above S level?"
"Well... since there is still room for improvement, we can't waste this last chance."
Su Ye smiled. It felt good to be understood by others.
"After all, after upgrading, the ability value of Lv1 is fixed."
Adventurers perform [Upgrades] like stacking boxes.
Although the basic abilities will be cleared, the attributes of the previous level will be accumulated and will not disappear.
Therefore, the higher the basic ability during the upgrade, the more stable the strength after the upgrade.
If Su Ye didn't know that SSS level was the limit of the limit, he would have guaranteed to get 9999.
After all, whether it's killing monsters or gaining experience, these are areas that Terraria excels in.
Once the blood moon comes, summon the creature and you're done.
After saying goodbye to Hephaestus, Su Ye did not leave the Tower of Babel, but came to his own shop.
Different from the deserted scene when it first opened, there was already a long queue at the door of the "Adventurer's House"!
“Business is booming.”
Su Ye nodded with satisfaction and walked into the store from the back door.
Hestia, wearing a blue and white shop assistant uniform, was busy introducing products to customers and looked much more diligent.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that she is the only staff member in the store.
"You finally came!"
Seeing Su Ye appear in front of her, Hestia immediately rushed over as if she had seen a savior.
"Going to work is so scary, wuwu... There are so many troublesome customers, and many products are out of stock, you have to replenish them quickly!"
"Got it...get off me first."
Although Su Ye didn't mind such intimate actions, there were so many adventurers watching nearby.
During the lunch break, Su Ye called the goddess of parasites to the studio on the second floor.
"First, tell me what's missing."
Soon, Hestia handed a list to Su Ye.
Among all the products on the shelves, Flaming Arrows have the highest sales volume and are often out of stock.
The next are weak healing potions and weak mana potions.
Both of these potions are cheaper than potions with the same effects on the market, so it is natural that they sell well.
On the contrary, the sales of torches were a bit strange. They sold very well at the beginning, but then gradually no one bought them.
"Because one torch can be used for a long time, people don't need to refill it."
Seeing that Su Ye was a little confused, Hestia puffed out her chest proudly.
"This is what I learned from the adventurers in the store."
"That's it..."
Su Ye nodded suddenly, it turned out that the quality was too good and no one updated the product.
There is always a feeling that I have killed myself.
But anyway, he didn't have the trouble of holding back the goods, so if the torches couldn't be sold, then they couldn't be sold.
The extra torches can be made into flaming arrows, which will sell even better.
"By the way, how come you suddenly have time to come to the store?"
"Because I want to see Hestia at work."
Su Ye’s answer made the goddess of rice bugs suddenly panic.
"Eh?! I guess I wasn't slacking off just now... I was working very hard the whole time!"
"It's really hard work, I saw it all."
Su Ye touched Hestia's head and praised her.
"Lady Hestia has also grown a lot. If the goddess saw it, she would definitely be surprised."
"Hum~"
The corners of Hestia's mouth curled up when she thought of Hephaestus being shocked to see her working so hard.
"But it's a bit too much for you to handle it alone here, so how about this..."
After thinking for a moment, Su Ye clapped his hands and made up his mind.
"I'll just find a new clerk."
Chapter 48: Putting on a Wedding Dress for the Goddess
"Well, let me introduce you, this is Lily."
Pulling the dwarf girl in front of him, Su Ye introduced her to Hestia.
"She is a companion I met after becoming an adventurer, and she is also my supporter."
"Hey... a child of the Soma clan?"
Hestia looked at Lily in front of her, and keenly realized the source of the grace of God she received -, and looked at Su Ye in surprise.
Even she had heard of the "bad reputation" of the Soma clan.
When he looked at Su Ye, unsurprisingly, he revealed the doubt "Is it really okay to let Soma clan members work as store clerks?"
"Don't worry, Lily is a good kid."
Su Ye patted Lily's head and assured her.
"And she is also very hardworking and can help a lot."
With Lily looking after the store, some basic goods, such as weak potions, torches and arrows, can be replenished directly.
In addition, Su Ye gave her some synthesis authority, and she can also make props such as flaming arrows.
Although this means that someone else will need to take care of the herb garden in Terraria.
However, Su Ye still has enough manpower now. At worst, he can let Saya or Miyamoto Rei take this position.
"Lily...Lily will work hard!"
Although she was somewhat reluctant to return to Orario, Lily still mustered up her courage and accepted Su Ye's order.
It’s just that her colleague is a real god, which makes her feel a little pressured.
"Relax, Lady Hestia is not that kind of strict god."
Seeing that she was a little reserved, Su Ye comforted her.
"Lady Hestia, please help her get familiar with the working environment of the store."
