Chapter 17

However, her hands didn't stop, obediently manipulating the sacred letters to upgrade Su Mo.

023 Novice Adventurer Su Mo

Hestia performed a few simple operations.

Su Mo felt his physical fitness become stronger again.

However, perhaps because the amplification of the upgrade itself is constant.

This time, Su Mo felt that the increase in his strength was not as great as the update of his ability values before.

Of course, this was purely because his ability value data was too abnormal.

For ordinary adventurers, upgrading is generally the main source of strength enhancement.

But for Su Mo, the accumulation of ability values is even more considerable.

However, even so.

After the re-enhancement, Su Mo could still clearly feel his improvement.

"You have become a LV2 adventurer."

After the upgrade, Hestia breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Su Mo's back for a few seconds.

After confirming that everything that happened today was not an illusion.

Hestia patted her cheeks and asked Su Mo.

"Next, which development ability are you going to choose?"

Development ability is something that adventurers can learn after upgrading.

Itself is something similar to a passive ability or an inherent ability.

For adventurers, it is a very important force.

"There are four options: [Abnormal Resistance], [Magic Guidance], [Lancer], [Forging]."

Hestia recited them one by one.

"Hmm... let me think."

Su Mo pondered for a long time.

[Abnormal Resistance] is a skill similar to magic resistance, which can weaken the damage of spells such as magic and curses, and also has a certain degree of resistance to poison.

[Magic Guidance] can strengthen the power of magic, [Forging] is the ability to enchant weapons, and [Lancer] is the ability to enhance the power of spearmanship.

If he hadn't obtained the golden finger, Su Mo would definitely have chosen [Abnormal Resistance].

This ability is quite convenient, allowing him to avoid many pitfalls.

It can greatly increase the survival probability of adventurers.

It is very in line with Su Mo's principle of "being cautious".

However, now that Su Mo has a golden finger, he can share power with himself in the myriad worlds.

In this case, he needs to consider not only himself, but also the benefits of all Su Mos.

[Abnormal Resistance] is very tempting.

However, once the self in the Godslayer world completes the slaying of the god and is reincarnated as a Godslayer.

The Godslayer physique will come with magic power that surpasses the dragon vein.

In addition, the Godslayer can ignore most magic. Magic that cannot reach the level of authority is meaningless to the Godslayer.

Therefore, it can be said that the Godslayer comes with the highest level of [Abnormal Resistance] and [Magic Guidance].

In this case, these two skills are completely meaningless to Su Mo.

And among the remaining abilities—

"[Lancer] sounds very unlucky!"

Su Mo couldn't help but complain.

Since ancient times, Lancers have had E-rank luck.

He doesn't want to have bad luck because he chose this ability.

So, there is only one choice left.

"I choose [Forging]!"

Su Mo said to Hestia.

With this ability, he can forge weapons with ability values, magic, and even skills.

Most of the craftsmen who make weapons in Orario have this ability, and even a few blacksmiths can create magic swords.

For Su Mo, who is not short of money and does not need weapons for the time being, this ability may not be very useful.

However, it may be of great help to himself in other worlds.

Just treat it as a casual investment!

...

...

After the upgrade, the next morning.

When Su Mo woke up from his sleep, Hestia was already up.

Breakfast that she had just bought was placed on the table, and the blue ribbon goddess had also prepared some easy-to-carry food.

"You are going to the dungeon today. These are essential medical supplies and food. If you encounter danger, remember to run away in time!"

Hestia rarely showed the appearance of a god, nagging and caring for Su Mo.

"Got it, I won't go too deep today, don't worry!"

Su Mo didn't think she was long-winded, but reassured Hestia, who was obviously a little nervous.

The purpose of his going to the dungeon this time is not to explore or grind monsters.

In addition to familiarizing himself with his power, his biggest purpose is to give his power a reasonable source.

An adventurer who never goes to the dungeon but can have super strength is too conspicuous.

In comparison, the birth of an adventurer star is a very common thing.

Even if this adventurer's strength is a bit too strong, it can only show that he has talent in this area.

It will not cause too much commotion.

He doesn't want to attract too much attention from the gods right now.

Under Hestia's reluctant gaze, Su Mo walked towards the dungeon.

As agreed, he first went to the guild.

Unsurprisingly, Eina was waiting for him in the guild.

Eina breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Su Mo had really come.

She was a little worried that he would change his mind and not come.

Seeing Su Mo, who was empty-handed except for the food, Eina sighed.

"I guessed that you didn't prepare anything, and it seems I was right."

Going to the dungeon without a weapon, isn't this just giving monsters extra food?

"Fortunately, I specially reserved a novice set."

Eina took out a package from behind, which contained a novice short sword and light armor.

This is the equipment that the guild recommends for novice adventurers.

It has a certain degree of protection and does not affect escape, which is very practical.

"Thank you, Miss Eina!"

Although Su Mo didn't intend to use weapons, it's not a bad thing to have novice weapons as a disguise.

Not to mention, this was specially prepared for him, and this concern should naturally be accepted.

Seeing Su Mo accept the package readily, Eina's colleague suddenly came over and said in a teasing tone.

"This novice set is not the cheap one issued by the guild, but Eina went to buy it specially last night. This handsome guy must remember to cherish the person in front of you! Our Eina has been talking about you..."

"Shut up!"

Halfway through, the girl was directly covered her mouth by the embarrassed Eina, and then pushed her away.

After dealing with her nosy colleague, Eina ran back and explained with her head down.

"Don't listen to that guy's nonsense. I just saw that the novice set issued by the guild was a bit old and worried about the quality, so I bought some new ones for backup. You happen to be entering the dungeon, so it's just right for you to use."

Explaining so forcefully, Eina felt her ears turn red.

"Okay!"

Su Mo naturally saw that Eina's reason was untenable.

How could there be such a coincidence that she suddenly felt the need to upgrade the novice set before agreeing to go to the dungeon the next day.

Without analysis, he knew that this girl probably coveted his body.

Su Mo didn't expose this point.

"Even so, I am very grateful for Miss Eina's help. When do you have time, I will treat you to a meal to thank you!"

"... Okay!"

After hesitating for a while, Eina nodded happily.

024 Lefiya Wants to Apologize

Next, Eina began to explain to Su Mo some precautions that must be known before going to the dungeon.

About what level of adventurers are suitable for which floors, as well as the differences and characteristics between monsters on each floor, and various ways to deal with monsters.

Because she is a professional staff member who guides novice adventurers, Eina focused on introducing the situation of monsters on the 1st to 12th floors of the dungeon.

For novice adventurers, this information is crucial, and can even determine a person's life or death at certain times.

Although these low-level monsters are very weak to Su Mo now.

But Su Mo still listened with relish.

After roughly memorizing the places that Eina said needed special attention.

Su Mo waved goodbye to the half-elf girl and prepared to go to the dungeon.

Then, at the entrance of the dungeon.

He met unexpected people.

Ais Wallenstein and Lefiya Viridis.

The two girls were at the entrance of the dungeon, seemingly waiting for someone.

After seeing Su Mo suddenly stop, Lefiya's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled the blonde girl towards Su Mo.

Sure enough, they are here to find me.

Could it be that they are preparing to continue to ask about ways to become stronger?

Su Mo guessed in his heart.

However, unexpectedly.

After coming to his front, Lefiya's first sentence was—

"I'm sorry, we caused you trouble yesterday!"

"???"

Su Mo felt a little strange. She was pestering him yesterday, how did she change her mind so quickly?
