Chapter 137 Thoughts!
After killing the goblin, Lin Yu continued forward and soon reached the second level. However, the strength and frequency of the monsters were similar to those on the first level, so Lin Yu continued downward and soon arrived at the fifth level.
In the dungeon, floors one through four are for newcomers who have just received the blessing. The monsters there are very weak, and even ordinary people who are well-prepared will not be in much danger.
But things change on the fifth floor. The monsters become much stronger, truly extraordinary monsters, and their frequency and number of appearances also increase significantly. Ordinary adventurers will face great danger if they don't team up.
However, for Lin Yu, the fifth floor was not much different from the first four floors; the monsters were still very weak. So he continued forward until he reached the thirteenth floor before stopping.
The monsters on the thirteenth floor were significantly stronger than those on the previous twelve floors, but they still posed no problem for Lin Yu. As for why he didn't continue, it was naturally because it was getting late.
The thirteenth floor is already quite deep. Lin Yu entered the dungeon later than the other adventurers. If he continues to go deeper, he doesn't know how late he will return. To avoid Hestia worrying, he will grind monsters on the thirteenth floor for today.
Lin Yu began wandering around the thirteenth floor, searching for monsters. Before he knew it, a day had passed. Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Yu ended his battle for the day and returned the way he came.
When Lin Yu came out of the dungeon, it was already dark outside. He went to the guild first and exchanged his magic stones for gold, which amounted to about 100,000 falies.
The thirteenth floor is the activity level for level 2 adventurers, but even for relatively experienced level 2 adventurers, it is difficult to earn more than 100,000 mana per day. However, Lin Yu's monster-killing efficiency is unmatched by ordinary adventurers, so it is normal for him to earn so much mana.
For Lin Yu, the monster respawn rate on the thirteenth floor was still too slow; otherwise, he could have earned even more.
After exchanging the magic stone for the fali, Lin Yu returned to the dilapidated church.
"Lin Yu, you're finally back! Let me see if you're hurt!"
Upon arriving at the church, he saw Hestia standing at the entrance. She had been standing there for an unknown amount of time. When she saw Lin Yu return, she immediately rushed over to check on him.
"Lady Hestia, I'm alright."
Seeing how worried Hestia was about him, Lin Yu was somewhat touched.
"It's good that you're alright."
After checking on Lin Yu, Hestia found that he did not seem to be injured, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lady Hestia, didn't I already tell you? I'm a seasoned adventurer, I won't get into trouble so easily. You don't need to wait for me anymore, you can go to sleep first."
"I know, but I'm still worried."
The dungeon is extremely dangerous, and anything can happen. Even though Hestia knew that Lin Yu was not a novice adventurer, she still couldn't help but worry, so how could she sleep?
"I understand. I'll come back earlier next time."
Lin Yu decided that from now on, when he went to the underground city, he would go early and return early.
The gods of this world are truly incredible. Despite living for countless years, their personalities are no different from those of ordinary humans.
Upon entering the basement, Hestia heated up the food she had prepared, and then the two began to fill their stomachs.
"The food is delicious, Lady Hestia, your cooking is superb."
Lin Yu praised it as he ate.
This wasn't Lin Yu's flattery; Hestia's cooking skills were truly excellent. Even though the ingredients were ordinary and had been reheated after being cold, the taste was still delicious. Shouldn't we say that Hestia truly deserves to be called the goddess of the hearth?
"Hehe, it's not as good as you say."
Hestia was delighted by Lin Yu's praise. She hadn't studied cooking in detail; she just knew how. But over time, her cooking skills had become quite extraordinary.
"That's wonderful, Lady Hestia. Would you be interested in opening a fine restaurant?"
A thought suddenly popped into Lin Yu's mind.
"Open a restaurant? Why?"
Hestia looked at Lin Yu with some confusion, not understanding why Lin Yu would have such a thought.
"Since Lady Hestia's culinary skills are so superb, it's such a waste for you to be working odd jobs on the street!"
This was Lin Yu's inner thought, but it wasn't the whole story.
With Lin Yu's abilities, raising Hestia would be easy, but that's not what the gods want.
Gods descend to the mortal realm for enjoyment, whether it's managing and developing their clans or raising their children—they always want to have something to do.
Since Hestia has quite good cooking skills, opening a restaurant is a good choice, much better than frying potato balls on the street.
"I'm not as amazing as you say... But opening a restaurant requires a lot of money, right? Where would we get that much money?"
Hestia blushed slightly at first because of Lin Yu's praise, but she quickly realized that opening a restaurant required a lot of money, and they didn't have the funds to do so.
Even opening a small, ordinary restaurant would require at least several hundred thousand fiat currency units (FARs) for rent, ingredients, and operating costs. For a high-end restaurant, even several million FARs might not be enough to cover the expenses.
"You don't need to worry about this. I have a few pieces of unused equipment. Selling just one of them will be enough."
At Lin Yu's current rate of making money, it would probably take a long time to collect enough by killing monsters, but there's no need for that. Lin Yu has plenty of good items on him, and he can easily collect enough by selling some of them.
For example, magical artifacts, especially high-level defensive magical artifacts, are highly sought after in this world. Of course, spatial equipment is even more popular, but there's no rush to sell spatial equipment.
"Sell equipment? Lin Yu, don't you dare sell the equipment you're using."
Hestia was somewhat worried that Lin Yu would sell his equipment for money.
"Lord Hestia, you need not worry. I have dozens of these pieces of equipment, and they will not affect my safety."
Lin Yu took out a bunch of high-level magical artifacts such as necklaces and bracelets.
"Are these items equipment?"
Hestia was curious as she looked at the items Lin Yu had taken out. While necklaces and bracelets were not unheard of, they were usually very special and rare, almost existing only in legends. The fact that Lin Yu had casually taken out so many items meant they were definitely not the legendary items.
"Yes, these are all defensive equipment that can withstand incoming damage based on willpower."
This batch of equipment was specially customized by Ma Xianhong at Lin Yu's request. It allows for defense based on willpower, which is more convenient than malicious defense.
"Wow, this is amazing! Are we really going to sell such a powerful treasure?"
It defends based on willpower. Although it doesn't automatically protect its master like in the legends, it's not much different. Although she didn't know where Lin Yu got so many, there was no doubt that they were treasures. Hestia felt it was a great pity to sell such treasures.
