Chapter 165 Armor 'Dark Star'!
"We're rich! Lin Yu, we're rich!"
Upon hearing that the turnover had exceeded ten million, Hestia clung to Lin Yu's arm, so excited she was practically out of her wits.
Because she hadn't just descended to the mortal realm, but had experienced a period of hard work earning tens of dollars per hour, she understood very well how difficult it was to make money. As a result, on the first day of opening her restaurant, the turnover exceeded ten million. How could Hestia not be excited?
"Lady Hestia, calm down. Today is only the first day. Things will get better from here on out."
"Yes, Goddess Hestia, the guests were very satisfied, and there will definitely be more people coming in the future."
Lily was also very excited. Today was the first day, and there weren't many people, but everyone left with smiles on their faces, clearly satisfied with the Kitchen God's House. Once its reputation spread, more people would come, and the turnover would be even higher.
"Lin Yu, this is all thanks to you. I've decided to give you 80% of the revenue, keeping only 20% as funds for the clan."
Hestia calmed down a little and then made a decision.
"No, Lady Hestia, eighty percent is too much. Your contribution is also indispensable. Just give me fifty percent."
"I've made up my mind!"
Hestia was very firm. She knew very well that she might have made some contributions, but they were just hard work and could be easily replaced. The only thing that could not be replaced was the special ingredients provided by Lin Yu.
Despite the extremely high prices of the dishes at Zao Huo Zhi Guan, every customer leaves satisfied, naturally because they feel it's well worth the money.
What guests felt was exceptional value was not the cooking technique, but the unique ingredients.
Therefore, Lin Yu, who provided the ingredients, deserves the most credit and should also receive the most.
However, clan property and private property are ultimately different, which is why Hestia wanted Lin Yu to receive what he deserved.
"I see."
Seeing Hestia's firm stance, Lin Yu didn't refuse any longer, as money was still very useful for improving his strength.
After finishing the finishing touches and closing the restaurant, the group returned to their family quarters to rest, filled with excitement.
The next day, Lin Yu did not go to the restaurant again and was not clear about the business situation. However, Hestia and Lily became even more excited when they returned in the evening because today's turnover was slightly higher than yesterday's. There were still no big customers like Royman, which meant that yesterday was not special. The Kitchen God's House could really make tens of millions a day.
With the stable and high income from the Kitchen God's House, Lin Yu had an idea in mind: to buy magic books.
The magic in the DanMachi world is indeed very powerful. Awakening each skill can greatly increase one's strength. However, the last time he leveled up, he only awakened a skill but not a magic, which made Lin Yu realize that magic cannot be awakened every time he levels up.
Since that's the case, let's borrow some external force, that is, use a magic book to awaken it.
However, magic books are very expensive, often costing hundreds of millions of mana, although they were sold to the guild leader, Devouring Pouch, for 300 million mana.
But after buying a large number of potions, he only had a little over 200 million left, and he didn't know how much it would cost to forge equipment. He estimated that after paying for it, he wouldn't be able to afford magic books anymore.
I thought I'd have to save the money for a while, but now it seems like it might only take a few days.
"Bell, are you ready?"
On the morning of the third day after the opening of the Hearth Hall, Lin Yu, with Bell, prepared to leave the clan's residence.
The armor that Hephaestus forged should be finished today. Lin Yu is also preparing to head to the dungeon. As for why he brought Bell along, it's obviously to teach him how to fight.
Normally, this kind of thing could be done by just finding an old man from the Soma Familia, but with the opening of the Kitchen God Mansion these past few days and its reputation just starting to spread, it's a very busy time, and almost everyone from the Soma Familia has gone to help out, so Bell has been temporarily put aside.
Seeing this, Lin Yu prepared to go into the dungeon with Bell again to teach him how to fight.
"Ready!"
Bell stood tall and proud, full of anticipation for entering the underground city.
"Now that we're ready, let's set off."
With Bell by his side, Lin Yu headed to the Tower of Babel.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Tower of Babel, although it was early morning, many adventurers were already entering the dungeon.
"Let's go to the Hephaestus Familia first."
"Yes."
Bell also knew that Lin Yu had commissioned a piece of equipment from the Hephaestus Familia, and he wondered how much it would cost for an adventurer like Lord Lin Yu to commission a piece of equipment.
"Good morning, Lord Hephaestus."
Upon entering the Tower of Babel and arriving at the Familia of Hephaestus, I announced my arrival, and Hephaestus soon came over.
"Lin Yu, your equipment is ready."
Hephaestus walked over with a piece of light, shiny black armor in his hand, exactly the style Lin Yu had requested. It seemed that this piece of equipment was the finished product.
"The quality of Zagnat's shell is better than expected. After I incorporated some rare ores and other materials, the final product has already surpassed the first-level equipment."
Hephaestus handed the black light armor to Lin Yu.
"Is its quality superior to that of first-tier equipment?"
Lin Yu took the black light armor and said with some surprise.
"Indeed, this light armor is in no way inferior to the top-tier first-level equipment in terms of performance, and its magic defense capability far surpasses it. Its overall performance is not far from that of top-tier armor. The main reason is that the main material you provided is of good quality."
Hephaestus was actually a little disappointed.
Zagnat's carapace was indeed of very high quality, but it was still a little lacking. Despite using many top-tier auxiliary materials, she ultimately failed to create truly top-tier equipment, which was a bit of a pity.
"Does the equipment have names?"
The equipment's performance was better than expected, so Lin Yu was naturally quite satisfied.
"You are the master, so naturally you should name it."
"Let's call it Dark Star then."
There's no special meaning to it; it's just that the weapon is called "Dark Moon," so the armor is called "Dark Star." How much does it cost?
Wearing the "Dark Star" directly on his body, Lin Yu asked how much it would cost.
"One hundred million falies."
"One hundred million?!"
Hephaestus's price startled Bell, who couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He had never imagined that the forging cost of a piece of equipment could reach one hundred million.
"Who is this?"
Hephaestus then noticed Bell.
"I'm going to take the newest member of the Soma Familia to the dungeon to see what it's like."
As they were talking, Lin Yu paid the money.
The forging cost of over 100 million is not considered high. First-tier equipment usually starts at tens of millions. Since this equipment is close to top-tier equipment in performance, the price of over 100 million is indeed not high.
It's worth noting that the forging cost of Riveria's staff was as high as three or four hundred million, and that's just the forging cost. Riveria herself provided all the materials. As for this piece of equipment, Lin Yu only provided the main materials, so it's normal that the price is a bit higher.
