Chapter 29: Adventurer's Home

It is different from the fourth floor of the Tower of Babel, which is filled with equipment worth millions or tens of millions.

The Hephaestus Familia industries on the fifth floor mostly face low- and mid-level adventurers.

Although there are some extremely expensive high-end equipment, they are basically the store's treasures and will not be sold easily.

Therefore, most of the adventurers gathered on this floor are Lv1 newcomers, followed by intermediate adventurers around Lv2 and Lv3.

Although there are stores selling cheap equipment elsewhere, it is easy to be ripped off.

In an environment where good and bad people mix together, shops with the Hephaestus family sign are very trustworthy.

Even if it is slightly higher than the average price, at least the after-sales service is guaranteed.

Over time, the fifth floor of the Tower of Babel became a paradise for low-level adventurers to exchange equipment.

"Hey, was this store here last time I came here?"

A group of new adventurers passed by Kevin's shop and stopped to watch in confusion.

"'Adventurer's Home'... sounds like the name of a tavern or an inn."

"But the emblem of Hephaestus's Familia is engraved on the signboard. It should also be an equipment store, right?"

"But the display windows of this store are filled with potions... I don't understand."

The team of new adventurers, consisting of warriors, mages, and archers, looked at each other.

"How about... going in and taking a look?"

Anyway, they came to the Tower of Babel this time to prepare supplies for the next adventure.

Since there is a place selling potions here, why not check out the prices?

"Welcome."

Seeing a new customer coming in, Kevin, who was serving as the shop assistant, greeted him with a smile.

Because today was just a trial opening, he hadn't yet gone to inform Hestia.

As for Lily...she's not even as tall as the counter, so don't make things difficult for her.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Well..."

The warrior boy who seemed to be the captain looked around and expressed his doubts.

"Excuse me, what are they selling here?"

"As you can see, there are adventure supplies and equipment."

Kevin knew that the other party would definitely have this question, so he gave a prepared answer.

"However, the materials needed to build the equipment are still being prepared. Now we only have some supplies for sale."

"For example, this 'magic torch'."

Kevin took out an unlit torch from the counter in a serious manner and began to introduce it.

"It can switch between burning and extinguishing states freely, is not affected by the environment, and has a nearly unlimited burning time - as long as you don't throw it into the water."

After saying this, Kevin felt that even if he didn't travel through time, he might be able to make a fortune by becoming a salesperson.

Being able to describe the ordinary sundry items in Terraria in a very detailed way is quite a skill.

But in every way, what he said was true.

"This, this is impossible?!"

A team member behind the warrior boy couldn't help but retort.

Judging from his attire, he should be a wizard's apprentice and have some knowledge of magic.

"How is it possible for a torch to burn infinitely... Is it made of dragon blood?"

"The recipe is our store's trade secret."

Kevin smiled and said without comment.

"If you have any doubts about what I said, why not buy one and try it out - for only 2,000 Valis, you can buy a magic torch that can be used repeatedly."

After hearing the price, even the skeptical wizard adventurer fell silent.

At such a cheap price, let alone unlimited burning time, even if it can only last for a week it would be considered a conscience deal.

"Buy one and try it."

The young soldier coughed and took out his purse from his pocket.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, my dear guest, some..."

Kevin glanced at the composition of this new team, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and took out two bundles of arrows.

"Ordinary wooden arrows, only 500 Valis per bundle, 100 in a bundle."

"This is the 'Flame Arrow', which has a stronger killing power than the Wooden Arrow, and has a chance to cause ignition when it hits."

"The price of the flaming arrows is 20,000 Valis, and they come in a bundle of 100 as well."

After hearing the description of the flaming arrow, the archer girl's eyes lit up in the new adventurer team.

"Enchanted Arrows?! El—I want this!"

El seems to be the name of the warrior boy.

Hearing his companion's request, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Well, Irene... 20,000 Valis is still a bit expensive."

"Expensive?!"

Kevin didn't need to explain, the archer girl rushed to her teammates, afraid of missing the product in front of her.

"This is an enchanted arrow! It's only 200 Valis each, which is very cheap!"

"With these flaming arrows, I can provide stronger ranged support... Maybe I can explore the second floor of the Danmachi this time, and my income will increase!"

Seeing that the young soldier was still a little hesitant, his young face revealed the embarrassment of being short of money and insufficient budget.

Kevin waved his hand and poured out several bottles of potion, his tone very generous.

"You are the first customers of the store. I can give you some potions for free."

"These potions have been authenticated by the guild, so you can use them without worry."

"For example, this bottle of weak magic potion can instantly restore all the magic power of a low-level spellcaster without any side effects. The original price is 10,000 Valis."

Now even the wizard apprentice who had raised the question just now widened his eyes, coughed lightly, and moved closer to the captain.

"El, we're here to buy supplies anyway. Since there are free potions, why not just listen to Irene and buy these enchanted arrows."

"Okay... now that you guys said so."

I saw that both my companions in the team voted in favor.

As the captain, El had to change his plan and take out the entire budget.

After accepting the Valis handed over by the customer, Kevin added.

"This shop will also sell protective gear and weapons suitable for low-level adventurers in the future. You can come and have a look before your next adventure."

"Thank you... we will."

The warrior boy nodded and glanced at the expressions of his teammates.

One of them was holding the flaming arrow and couldn't let it go, while the other hid the magic potion like a treasure.

Next time, even if he doesn't want to come, he will probably be dragged over by these two.

I hope that next time I come, I will have armor that I can use, and it's time to change my weapon.

After seeing off the first batch of customers, Kevin stretched and continued to wait for new customers to come.

He believes in the "high-quality, low-priced" and effective products in the store.

Soon the reputation of "Home of Adventurers" will be known.

At least among the low-level adventurers, fame will spread quickly.

"Anyway, weak potions, torches, and arrows can be infinitely replenished."

"When the time comes, we just need to call Hestia over to be the mascot."

After finishing a day's business, Kevin stretched and turned over the "Open" sign at the door.

At the same time, a system message popped up in front of him.

[A traversable world has been found]

[Crossing location: Bed City, International Airport]

"Hmm? The owner of the bed..."

Seeing this place name, Kevin raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"It's actually the world of Apocalypse."

"Let me think about it. The characters in this world... do have the potential for a contract."

Kevin can currently assign two functions.

They are "Nurse" and "Explosives Expert" respectively.

Shizuka Marikawa in "Apocalypse" happens to be a doctor.

Maybe there will be a contract skill related to "doctor".

As for the "explosion expert"... Kevin couldn't think of anyone suitable for the time being.

"If I travel through the 'Airport', I might run into 'Minami Rika'."

"Hmm? Any more information?"

Immediately after the system information just now.

Two more prompts appeared in front of Kevin.

[This world is affected by the power of "disaster", and a "blood moon" event will occur every 7 days]

[The next expansion of the world slot will be after defeating the Skeleton King]
