“Hey, but I’m also very young.”
"As far as the mind is concerned... it is indeed correct."
It was not until the sun was about to set and evening that the door of the locker room was reluctantly pushed open.
"Is it already this time?"
Su Ye blocked the light with his hands, looked up at the sunset over the sea, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
High school girls...are so scary.
It's simply a monster that devours time.
Constantly battling with a young and energetic body, it feels like my sanity is being sucked dry.
Fortunately, Su Ye used his amazing self-control to forcibly interrupt the melee.
Otherwise, I probably won’t be able to challenge the Skeleton King tonight.
However... not far in front of him, there are two boss-level "powerful enemies".
"You really kept us waiting for a while."
Seeing that Su Ye had finally escaped from the clutches of Saeko and others, Minami Rika couldn't help but whistle and stood up.
"At this point, do you think Shizuka and I will let you go so easily?"
After saying that, Nan Lixiang grabbed her best friend and protected her in front of her.
"Ehhhhhhh?! Why am I in front of you?"
The confused Jin 600-shot school doctor suddenly became panic-stricken.
"Didn't we agree that you would go and see the master's strength first?"
"Sorry, I suddenly changed my mind."
Minami Rika said in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed.
"I'm not sure about this kind of thing."
"Shizuka, since you're a doctor, you know more about physiology than I do, right?"
"I've only seen this in textbooks... Ah, the master is coming!"
"What are you talking about?"
Su Ye looked at the group of lesbian friends who were starting to fight among themselves and smiled proudly.
"In that case, you can come together."
"Don't underestimate my physical strength as a Lv2 adventurer!"
Not far away, several heads popped out from behind the locker room door.
"Wow... Is this what the master looked like when he was fighting us just now?"
"This is the first time I've seen Miss Minami Rika lose so miserably..."
"After all, she is a woman too, and the master is a very strong man."
After successfully challenging the "Sunny Beach" copy.
Su Ye took advantage of the time before nightfall to visit Hephaestus.
"You want to rent a few stores next door?"
The goddess wasn't too surprised to hear his expression when he asked.
The Adventurer's House was doing a booming business, and she had heard about this as well.
Rather, the family that was given excellent evaluation by her at the Molten Fire Festival
It would be outrageous if no one was interested in the business.
"I have no objection to this matter. Just give the rent to Tsubaki. She manages most of the clan's finances."
"…Is it really appropriate to let someone who sets the price of equipment based on his mood manage the money?"
"Ahahahaha... Tsubaki also has a serious and delicate side."
Hephaestus smiled, then looked at Su Ye, whom she hadn't seen for more than a week.
Although she couldn't use her divine power at this time, she could feel that Su Ye was much more mature than before.
"It seems that you have grown again."
Hephaestus suddenly said.
"Do you want to update your ability values?"
Su Ye calculated the time and it was time to update his ability value.
Since the last time his ability values were updated, he has done some earth-shattering things.
For example, defeating various bosses, obtaining the inheritance of the Shadow King, creating many new equipment, etc.
I guess I can give the goddess a "little" surprise this time.
But just when Su Ye was about to agree, the door of Hephaestus's blacksmith shop was suddenly pushed open.
The only one who dared to barge into the forging goddess's private room like this was another goddess.
"Hephaestus, look at what this is—"
The loli goddess Hestia, still wearing the work clothes of the Adventurer's House, was holding a jingling bag as if showing off.
"This is the salary Su Ye gave me today. There's also a bonus in it to reward me for my hard work... Oh oh oh oh?!"
However, when she saw Su Ye standing beside Hephaestus with a helpless look on her face, her words became out of tune.
"Su Ye, why are you in this woman's room?!"
"Lady Hestia."
Su Ye sighed, feeling that the image of the goddess of parasites was gradually overlapping with that of a husky or a silly roe deer.
"I am also considered a member of the family of Lord Hephaestus, so it is normal for me to be here."
"Ah...hahahaha, that's true."
Hestia reacted and gave an awkward but polite smirk.
After seeing the posture of the two at this time, the Loli Goddess immediately became curious.
"Hephaestus, are you going to update Su Ye's ability value?"
"Yes."
Hephaestus said unhappily.
"If it weren't for some guy breaking in, it would probably be over by now."
"Then I'm here just in time~ I also want to see Su Ye's updated ability value~"
"Hey, don't talk about this kind of thing!"
Hephaestus suddenly became serious when she heard Hestia's request.
"The ability values of clan members are the secrets of each clan. For adventurers, it is a matter of life and death. How can we let others see it casually?"
"Besides, you will also recruit followers in the future. Will you show their ability values to others casually?"
Hearing this, Hestia put her hands on her hips with confidence.
"I don't need any other followers, Su Ye is enough for me!"
"You parasite... do you expect him to support you for the rest of your life?"
"Can't you?"
Hestia sat down next to Su Ye and drew circles on his back.
“I watched him grow up, too!”
"Lady Hestia, this sentence should be the other way around."
Su Ye felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but retort.
"You are the one I have been taking care of."
"Gu..."
"but."
After a pause, Su Ye said to the forging goddess beside him.
"It's okay to let Lady Hestia take a look at my ability values."
"I believe she won't tell anyone casually."
"You kid..."
Seeing Su Ye said this, Hephaestus had no choice but to nod.
After all, this is Su Ye’s ability value, and he has the right to decide for himself.
Upon hearing this, the loli goddess was very moved and rushed over.
"I know Su Ye treats me the best!"
"Get out of the way, Hestia... How can I update his ability values if you do this?"
After driving Hestia off Su Ye, Hephaestus began to get serious.
"First, the basic attributes... Tsk, they are still as amazing as always."
Hestia came over, and since she didn't recruit any followers, it was her first time to see and witness such a scene.
"So many S's, are all the common families like this?"
"This kid is an exception, and he's improving very quickly."
When it comes to Su Ye's growth rate, even Hephaestus couldn't help but feel proud.
"It's only been less than half a month, and you've already reached the threshold of upgrading, Su Ye."
"is it?"
Su Ye, who had expected this, smiled very modestly.
“Maybe it’s just because I work harder.”
"If you can become stronger by working hard, then nearly half of the adventurers in Orario wouldn't be Lv1."
Hephaestus gently touched Su Ye's head and continued to scan the ability values below.
"In terms of development ability... Hey, your development ability has been upgraded?"
[Alchemy of the Holy Mark (H)]
[+ Increased understanding and manipulation of elements and the microscopic world]
[+ Greatly increases the effect of this ability when taking "Holy Milk"]
[+Lock "decomposition" ability]
[+Lock "shaping" ability]
The development ability will increase in level with the adventurer's understanding and research, as well as the increase in the number of times it is used and the proficiency.
For example, when the most basic mystery (I) is brought to its extreme, it can refine the philosopher's stone.
However, this generally requires a lot of time and energy to specialize in a certain ability.
After all, developing abilities is itself an extension of certain specialties.
"After upgrading, did you unlock the ability to reshape your body?"
In fact, Su Ye had vaguely felt in the past few days that he had become more proficient in the use of alchemy.
Terraria has a large number of items and props for him to decompose and study, which is also a unique advantage.
And then...there is another factor that cannot be ignored, and that is the intake of "holy milk".
As the key to the stigmata alchemy, Su Ye had a hunch.
The more types of holy milk he tasted, the higher the quality, and the faster his stigma alchemy would improve!
