The Hestia Familia, today is another happy day as well.

142. I Encountered Something Joyful

Early the next morning, the entire Hestia Familia set out. Hestia and Yako went to the market to buy materials. Because the Hestia Familia celebrates so frequently, their materials were indeed used up quickly. Fortunately, all three had good appetites, so there was no waste of food. Hestia, as long as it was delicious, could eat a lot. Yako, after becoming an adventurer, due to combat and training, had a greatly increased appetite, and she didn't have to worry about gaining weight. As for Wang Xiaoming, possessing Tom Cat's body, he didn't even know how much he could stuff into his stomach.

Also, none of the three drank alcohol. Hestia would drink when playing with other gods, but they wouldn't drink when celebrating among themselves, because Wang Xiaoming didn't like drinking. So, Hestia followed Wang Xiaoming's preference, and they wouldn't drink when it was just the few of them.

After Wang Xiaoming left the Familia's residence, he went directly to the Loki Familia.

Now, Wang Xiaoming entering the Loki Familia was like entering his own home. No one in the Loki Familia didn't recognize him. The high-level personnel were even more familiar with him. The leader and vice-leader, with whom he had cooperated, as well as those few main LV5 combatants, had all gone to the Dungeon with him and had learned skills from him. With the connections he had with those few people in the Loki Familia, it would be perfectly fine for him to say he was from the Loki Familia.

Upon arriving at the Loki Familia, Wang Xiaoming gave them the magic power phones he had prepared in advance and taught them how to use them. The people of the Loki Familia immediately happily started playing with the phones.

In this world with gods, although it possessed magical powers, there was currently no magic that could achieve large-scale, high-frequency, real-time communication. Therefore, the appearance of this magic power phone was very popular with them.

Wang Xiaoming also asked Finn to help him find a shop with a good location and a reasonable price that could be sold or rented. As a result, Loki directly waved her hand and gave Wang Xiaoming a shop located on the main street under the Loki Familia's name. Wang Xiaoming accepted Loki's generosity, but he didn't accept it for nothing. Instead, he calculated that the Loki Familia would invest in the magic power phone business with this shop as capital, meaning that from now on, the Hestia Familia and the Loki Familia would cooperate in selling it.

Loki didn't mind and agreed to Wang Xiaoming's proposal.

Wang Xiaoming was 100% certain that the magic power phone would be a hit after its launch. This could be seen from the Loki Familia's reaction after receiving the phone. Especially since Wang Xiaoming hadn't yet launched the phone's subsequent service functions. After all, toothpaste had to be squeezed out little by little to earn more money.

However, the magic power phone's popularity would also attract attention from all sides. There were so many familias in Orario, and you couldn't guarantee that every familia had brains. There would always be some familias that weren't very smart and would come looking for trouble. Even if they couldn't beat you, they would still come to disgust you.

Therefore, cooperating with the Loki Familia could save the Hestia Familia a lot of trouble, after all, the Hestia Familia had too few people.

Although Wang Xiaoming could choose not to cooperate with Loki and instead ask the Loki Familia for help, the Loki Familia would help, but that way, Wang Xiaoming would owe the Loki Familia a favor. Now, the Loki Familia was in a state of owing the Hestia Familia a favor, after all, Wang Xiaoming had helped several of them improve their abilities, which could be considered owing several favors.

It would be a loss if the Loki Familia paid it back so easily.

Therefore, cooperating with the Loki Familia, when other familias with abnormal brains came to cause trouble, the Loki Familia would take action, and there would be no need to owe the Loki Familia a favor. After all, the Loki Familia also had a share in this business, didn't they?

The cooperation with the Loki Familia went very smoothly. After Loki agreed to cooperate, Finn began to discuss the cooperation with Wang Xiaoming. The value of the shop was not high, but Wang Xiaoming planned to cooperate with the Loki Familia in the long term, so Wang Xiaoming gave the Loki Familia 20% of the shares. This was a considerable portion of the shares. As a company with unlimited future prospects, this was an initial public offering.

However, in this world of swords and magic, who knew what would happen in the future? The stability of capital was not high. Back then, the Zeus and Hera Familias, as strong as they were, were also driven out of Orario by Loki and Freya, so this 20% was not too much.

After discussing everything, Wang Xiaoming took Finn to see the shop. After confirming the location of the shop, Wang Xiaoming first looked at the layout of the shop to see which places could be used to place communication base stations. Half of the magic stones dropped by the Goliath before were cut off and used to supply magic stone energy for the base stations, which was perfect.

This huge magic stone, according to the power of the base station, could continuously supply work for a whole year, twenty-four hours a day.

The remaining decoration part would need to be slowly tossed about by craftsmen. When the time came, let Hestia supervise it. Let Hestia arrange the decoration style and layout of the shop according to her preferences. Hestia would definitely like this arrangement.

After receiving the shop's title deed and key from Finn, Wang Xiaoming went directly back to the Familia's residence. Inside the Familia's residence, Hestia and Yako had already returned and were at the door.

The two who went to the market directly pulled back a small cart of materials, which Wang Xiaoming found exaggerated.

However, considering the frequency of celebrations in his Familia, it was no problem. They would celebrate today, and then in a few days, when the renovation was completed and the business opened, Hestia would definitely want to celebrate as well.

Moreover, at that time, I am afraid that there will be two celebrations, one is to invite those gods who come to support the celebration, and the other is a three-person celebration inside the Hestia Familia. These materials, I am afraid that they will be a little insufficient at that time.

Wang Xiaoming could already imagine Hestia's arrogant face when she showed off at the opening, and he could even imagine her friend Hephaestus wanting to beat her when she saw her arrogant appearance, and Loki should also be there. The two of them should directly pull each other in front of everyone.

As soon as he thought of these, Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but want to laugh, and then he also laughed directly, walking over while laughing.

"I'm back."

"Oh, Mingjun, you're back. Yako and I just came back too, and we're moving things. Come and help!"

"Okay, I'm coming!"

Wang Xiaoming smiled and went up to help, moving the things from the cart to the kitchen. While moving, he continued to think about Hestia's performance at the opening and couldn't help but keep laughing.

Hestia looked at Wang Xiaoming's inexplicable smile and couldn't help but ask.

"Mingjun, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy? Did you encounter something happy outside?"

"Yes, I encountered something happy."

"Quick, quick, tell me about it."

"I'm not telling you."

Wang Xiaoming dropped a sentence and then picked up something and walked towards the kitchen?

"Eh? Why don't you tell me."

Hestia was stunned for a moment, then directly chased after him, jumping up and hanging on Wang Xiaoming's back, her legs夹着 Wang Xiaoming's waist, hanging on Wang Xiaoming's back like a koala.

"Tell me, Mingjun, tell me quickly, what's the good thing."

"Hahaha, I'm just not telling you."

"Tell me, or I'm going to bite your ear."

"I won't say, I just won't say."

"Ah woo!"

"Aiya~~ Don't do that, Hestia, it's very itchy."

"Hmph, see if you say it or not, if you don't say it, I'll continue."

"Okay, I'll say it, I'll say it, I just on the way back....."

As a result, Wang Xiaoming was holding Hestia, who was lying on his back, with one hand, while moving things, and Yako was next to him, helping to move things together. She, who didn't like to talk too much, didn't like to talk like Hestia.

And Wang Xiaoming seemed to know that Yako was looking at him. Every time Yako looked over, Wang Xiaoming would look over as if he had sensed it, and then return a smile to Yako.

143. Familia Cooperative Expedition

The renovation of the shop will take a long time, especially after Hestia knew that Wang Xiaoming had already obtained a shop, she made a lot of plans with great interest, and planned to supervise the work every day, just for this enthusiasm, she will not feel bored in a short time.

After entrusting the renovation arrangement of the shop to Hestia, Wang Xiaoming and Yako also had new things to do.

Before the shop opened, the Loki Familia was going to expedition again. According to the previous agreement, this time the Loki Familia's expedition, the Hestia Familia will cooperate with them to enter the Dungeon together.

The Loki Familia's expedition has reached the 50th floor of the Dungeon. The scope that can be explored now is based on the fiftieth floor and develops towards the sixtieth floor. This section is also the deepest level that the entire Orario can explore at present.

After all, the current Orario Twin Kings, the Freya Familia, although they are also very strong, and even have the only LV7 on the surface of Orario, but in fact, the Freya Familia is very lazy in the expedition. Freya prefers to collect her favorite characters, and the leader of the Freya Familia only obeys Freya's orders. Freya would not blink an eye even if she asked him to die.

To put it bluntly, Loki is playing a strategy level-breaking game. She is a strength party. Although she will also draw her favorite characters, she is more willing to draw powerful characters, and then cultivate them to form an excellent team and enter the dungeon to break through the levels.

Meanwhile, the Freya Familia played a card-drawing and character-raising game. Freya was driven by her personal preferences. Although she cared about strength, she cared even more about what she liked. She was also very rich, a whale, and after already drawing Ottar, who was at LV7, the remaining characters were judged by whether they fit her preferences. After raising them well, she would look at the next new character, drawing one new wife after another—or rather, from Freya's perspective, drawing one new husband after another.

Therefore, in terms of expeditions, the Loki Familia was more powerful.

Of course, this was also related to Finn's personality. Finn was someone who wanted to make great achievements, with the great ambition of making the Pallums rise, unlike Ottar, who would do anything as long as Freya was happy.

On the huge central square in front of Babel, the Loki Familia was gathering.

"Look, look! The Loki Familia is moving out again."

"It's an expedition, right? They're starting another expedition."

"They're really amazing. Is this the super-familia led by upper-level adventurers? Look, those are the three giants of the Loki Familia: Finn the [Brave], at LV6; Riveria the [Nine Hells]; and Gareth the [Heavy Warrior]—the three LV6 adventurers of the Loki Familia!"

"No, no, no, you're very outdated. The current Loki Familia has four LV6s!"

"Four? Who else is there?"

"Bete the [Fierce Wolf], at LV6. He leveled up to LV6 a month ago. Now the Loki Familia isn't the Three Giants anymore, but the Four Giants!"

"You're also outdated, brother. After Bete the [Fierce Wolf] leveled up to LV6, he changed his title."

"Changed it?"

"That's right. Now he's called Bete the [Magic Wolf], and he also has a nickname: [One-Kick Shura]."

"What kind of nickname is that?"

"I heard it's a super skill that Bete the [Magic Wolf] newly awakened, one that can kick a floor boss of the dungeon to death."

"Are you kidding me?!"

"That's the Loki Familia. Do you think they need to joke around?"

The Loki Familia's top combat power, the four LV6s, stood at the front, receiving the admiration of the onlookers, especially Bete. After becoming LV6 and becoming a new giant of the Loki Familia, this was his first public appearance on such a large occasion. This feeling of being discussed by everyone was really great.

However, soon, the focus of the onlookers' discussion shifted from the Four Giants to the several young girls behind them: Aiz the [Sword Princess], Tiona the [Great Cleave], Tione the [Wrath Serpent], and Lefiya the [Thousand Elves].

In the end, beautiful young girls are more to everyone's taste.

The Loki Familia's expedition members had already gathered and were waiting. Next, they would wait for the Hestia Familia.

At the agreed time, Wang Xiaoming arrived on time with Yae.

After all, it was their first public appearance on a big stage, so Wang Xiaoming and Yae also had to prepare.

Wang Xiaoming specially polished his armor. The blue inner lining, the same style as the Old Sword, was matched with silver-white armor. The armor was also specially printed with the Old Sword's pattern using electroplating technology. The Zanjutsu Blade and beam cannon were both carried on his back, giving him a fully armed look, full of knightly style, but the weapons were a bit strange.

As for Yae, she was wearing a black Shihakusho. Orario had Japanese gods, so there were also kimonos. Yae's personal style was also inclined to Japanese style, so Wang Xiaoming asked her to change out of the combat suit she had brought from the Highschool of the Dead world and put on the Shihakusho he had specially made. This Shihakusho was not just for show. It was made from the high magic resistance material that Wang Xiaoming brought back from the Campione world, and various spells were engraved inside the clothes. Once activated with magic power, the entire clothes would become extremely hard and could absorb various impacts.

She tied her long purple hair into a high ponytail and placed it behind her head, with the black scabbard and purple hilt of the Mist Cutter at her waist. With this black Shihakusho, Yae also looked very heroic.

"Captain Finn, we're not late, are we?"

"No, the time is just right."

The captains of the two familias immediately began to communicate after meeting.

"Our last expedition encountered some unexpected situations on the 49th floor, which resulted in damage to supplies, so we stopped on the 49th floor. This time, with Mr. Ming's joining, we should be able to successfully reach the 52nd floor."

"That would be great. I also want to learn more about the situation in the deeper levels of the dungeon. Please take care of me this time, Captain Finn."

"That's natural."

Wang Xiaoming's conversation with Finn was seen by the onlookers, and immediately sparked a lot of discussion.

"Who is that? He can actually talk to [Brave] like that."

"I know. He became LV2 some time ago and broke the record for the fastest breakthrough to LV2 in Orario's history, the super rookie, [Knight] Wang Xiaoming."

"Knight King? Xiaoming? Is this title serious? And this name, it feels so strange."

"Not Knight King, it's Knight. His name is Wang Xiaoming, and his title is Knight."

I have to say, Wang Xiaoming's title, coupled with his name, really makes it easy for people to misunderstand.

"However, as an LV2, he can actually talk and laugh with LV6 like this. Is he some amazing guy?"

"Don't you know? He and the woman next to him are from the Hestia Familia. He is the captain of the Hestia Familia."

"Hestia Familia? Is there such a familia?"

"How outdated are you? You don't even know the Hestia Familia. The Hestia Familia is a newly established familia recently, but it has only been established for a few months, and it already has an LV2 who broke the record, and it has also reached a cooperation with the Loki Familia and is jointly opening a shop. Moreover, their familia's only two adventurers can carry out adventure activities on the 27th floor when they are LV1."

"Is that fake? That's the 27th floor!"

"Many people were discussing it before. The 27th floor adventure duo, a [Sword Demon] and a [Big Knife Man], are them!"

The Hestia Familia was originally unknown. It was Wang Xiaoming's sudden upgrade to LV2, breaking the record for the fastest upgrade to LV2, that made the Hestia Familia a little famous, but it was limited after all.

And today, the news that the Hestia Familia entered the dungeon with the Loki Familia, and that the Hestia Familia and the Loki Familia were cooperating to open a store spread out. Soon, the Hestia Familia's reputation will spread throughout Orario.

While the onlookers were discussing, Wang Xiaoming and Finn also ended their chat, and the two began to prepare to enter the dungeon.

Wang Xiaoming was able to easily join the Loki Familia's expedition, in addition to helping several of the Loki Familia's main LV5s gain new powers, and also because he revealed his space pocket ability.

Being able to store supplies infinitely, this ability is simply a dream for a large familia!

Why can the Loki Familia only fight so little each time they expedition? Because the supplies they can carry each time are limited. After going deep into the dungeon, they have to return to the surface after their supplies are exhausted.

And now, Wang Xiaoming's space pocket can be said to directly solve their supply carrying problem.

In front of everyone, Wang Xiaoming put all the supplies prepared by the Loki Familia into his pocket.

Then Finn stood on the high platform and raised the spear in his hand.

"Expedition, begin!"

The first expedition in cooperation between the Loki Familia and the Hestia Familia began here.

144. Is God's Grace Such a Casual Thing?

Under Finn's command, all the members of the two familias participating in the expedition began to enter the dungeon in teams.

According to the Loki Familia's usual expedition habits, they would enter the dungeon in batches. The first team was composed of the main combat personnel, such as Finn and Riveria, as well as the remaining LV5s. They would first enter the dungeon and kill the monsters and floor bosses that refreshed along the way. Although the monsters on the upper floors were relatively weak, the terrain was relatively troublesome.

The shape of the dungeon is like a pyramid buried underground. The closer to the ground, the smaller the area and the narrower the passage. If the Loki Familia's main force and logistics force enter the dungeon together, the team activities will be very crowded when they are on the upper floors. Once they encounter an attack, there may be no casualties with the protection of high-level adventurers, but there will be some loss of supplies more or less.

Therefore, let the main team members open the way first, and then the remaining combat members protect the logistics personnel and escort the supplies in. After reaching the safe floor on the 18th floor, they will act together.

After passing the safe floor on the 18th floor, the deeper into the ground, the larger the area of the floor will be. It will also be unobstructed for the entire team to act together. When the depth reaches the 40th floor, the area of that floor has even exceeded the area of Orario on the surface, and it is a veritable underground city. Each subsequent floor cannot be said to be guaranteed to be larger than the previous floor, but overall, it is still constantly expanding.
