Chapter 159: Another Upgrade!
"Lady Hestia, wake up."
Back at the clan's residence, it was already quite late, but Hestia was still not up. She must have been too tired from working at the restaurant.
"Lin Yu, you're back!"
Hearing Lin Yu's voice, Hestia instantly woke up, immediately threw off the covers and sat up abruptly, looking towards the door. The glimpse of her exposed skin made it hard for Lin Yu to look away.
Hestia, completely unconcerned about her exposed body, jumped off the bed and pounced on Lin Yu.
Seeing this, Lin Yu could only reach out his hands and catch Hestia.
"I'm back."
Feeling Hestia's concern, Lin Yu hugged her and replied softly.
"Are you alright?"
Hestia released Lin Yu and carefully examined his condition. Seeing that Lin Yu seemed to have no wounds, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, with my strength, I'm still quite safe in the dungeon."
"You still need to be careful!"
"Okay, I'll be careful."
Hestia then asked about his experiences over the past few days, and Lin Yu naturally only reported the good news and not the bad.
"Lady Hestia, please update my favors."
After chatting for a while, Lin Yu spoke to Hestia.
"Hmm, you've been in the dungeon for many days, your abilities should have improved a lot this time!"
Hestia immediately took out a needle from the drawer next to her. She was looking forward to Lin Yu's growth. Even if the growth rate would be slower at Iv2, with Lin Yu's previous efficiency, his ability value should have increased by at least one or two thousand in just a few days.
He pricked his finger with a needle, squeezed out a drop of blood onto Lin Yu's back, and the Grace Group rippled, and the information was quickly updated.
"what?"
Upon seeing the above content, Hestia paused, thinking she was still half asleep and seeing things. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, but it was still the same content, the information unchanged.
"How is this possible? Lin Yu, what have you done?"
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yu was somewhat puzzled. Was his growth beyond expectations? But there was no need to be so surprised, was there?
"Your ability value has increased by nearly 5,000 points, and your Great Achievement has been maxed out and exceeded by a large margin. It may even be enough for the next level up."
Hestia spoke of the information she had seen with some disbelief.
Lin Yu's growth rate was already fast enough before, but now it's so fast it's almost exaggerated. Something special must have happened.
Lin Yu was slightly surprised to hear this. His ability value had increased by more than 5,000 in just a few days, which was indeed beyond his expectations. However, it was normal that he had gained so much Great Achievement. After all, Zagnat was a monster comparable to the floor master of the lower level. It would be easy to defeat an ordinary Iv5. It was only natural that it could provide a lot of Great Achievement.
"Lin Yu, what exactly did you do? You didn't go and challenge the floor master of the lower level, did you?"
Hestia could only think of this reason; what other monster besides the floor master of the lower level could provide so many great achievements?
"No, pretty much. I encountered a rather powerful special monster in the dungeon."
Lin Yu could only tell Hestia about his encounter with Zagnat. Of course, he didn't mention how dangerous it was, only saying that it was a fairly powerful monster and that it took some effort to defeat it.
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Hestia didn't think much of it, but simply copied down the information about the favor and handed it to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu took the paper and reviewed his progress over the past few days.
Lin Yu - lv2
[Strength: I0 → S927]
[Durability: I0→S955]
[Agility: I0 → S952]
[Agility: I0 → S911]

Skills: In just a few days, all attributes reached S-rank, and magic power reached SS-rank. No wonder Hestia was so surprised. This growth is indeed quite fast. Even protagonists with accelerated growth cannot grow as fast as Lin Yu.
However, Lin Yu knew very well that the reason he was able to grow so quickly this time was probably thanks to Zagnat. It not only provided a lot of achievements, but also a lot of ability points. If it weren't for this monster that was comparable to Iv6, it would probably take more than ten days to reach this level under normal growth.
No wonder people love fighting bosses in games, especially those that are much higher level; the rewards are absolutely beyond imagination.
"Lin Yu, you're leveling up again. Is it a direct upgrade this time too?"
Hestia asked Lin Yu.
"Okay, let's upgrade directly."
As I said before, there's no need to pursue perfection; improving strength as quickly as possible is the right path. After upgrading from v1 to iv2, Lin Yu felt a significant increase in strength and also gained a trump card, greatly improving his overall combat power. Therefore, Lin Yu was very much looking forward to leveling up, and perhaps he would awaken another magic.
"Then I'll begin."
Hestia began operating on Lin Yu's back, and soon the contents of the blessing changed.
"Lin Yu, you have acquired a skill."
Upon seeing the updated content, Hestia happily told Lin Yu.
Is it a skill, not magic?
Lin Yu was slightly surprised, but this was a good thing. There was a limit of three magic spells one could acquire, but there was no such limit on skills. Compared to magic spells that one could obtain sooner or later, it was better to acquire more skills.
The final step in upgrading is to choose a development ability. The options are similar to last time. After a moment's thought, Lin Yu chose the more conventional "Hunter" option, which can enhance attack power against monsters.
After the upgrade was completed, Hestia copied the upgraded attributes back to Lin Yu.
[Lin Yu—lv2→lv3]
[Strength: S927→10]
[Durability: S955→10]
[Agility: S952→10]
[Agility: S911→10]
[Magic Power: SS1024→10]
Abnormal resistance: H
Hunter: 1

"Skill"
When fighting against an enemy stronger than oneself, all attributes are increased. The stronger the enemy, the greater the attribute increase. Lin Yu looked directly at the skill bar and saw the newly appeared skill.
The name is "Hymn of Courage," and its effect is to increase all attributes when fighting enemies stronger than oneself.
However, this raises a question: how is this "strength" calculated? It's important to know that Lin Yu's strength is influenced by many factors.
Putting everything else aside, isn't genetic locking a part of one's strength? And to what extent?
Lin Yu felt that the Grace System probably couldn't calculate things like gene locks. Let alone gene locks, could the Grace System really quantify things like true abilities, skills, weapons, equipment, and combat techniques into strength?
It's probably not possible.
Therefore, the so-called strength most likely refers to basic attributes. If so, then this skill is quite good.
Because Lin Yu's basic strength is not strong, it should be said that it is very weak!
