In the anime, I become stronger by eating myself

"Mr. Luo Zhen, this is the receipt you asked for."

"There is one more thing. Your adventurer registration was completed at noon. From then on, you are an official adventurer. However, adventurers cannot be too adventurous. If you want to exchange magic stones, you can do it here."

Having said this, Aina simply left her position.

The guild still has some preferential treatment for new adventurers, and there are not many adventurers after Luo Zhen.

Aina, who was a serious and responsible person, acted as a guide and personally led Luo Zhen to the window for exchanging magic stones, giving him instructions along the way.

This wasn't special treatment, but rather a measure of care and consideration for all new adventurers.

This is especially true for newcomers like Luo Zhen, who becomes an adventurer in the morning and goes to the dungeon in the afternoon.

Because of this, Aina is quite popular and is the most popular employee in the guild.

This kind of personality probably comes from the sense of justice of wanting to help others!

Luo Zhen didn't hate this, but the nagging that followed was a bit unbearable.

"Ms. Aegina, I'm not taking any risks. This is just a normal dungeon exploration activity."

"Did you just register as an adventurer today?"

"Yes"

"Did you go to the dungeon alone?"

"That's right!"

"Spent the whole afternoon in the dungeon?"

"Maybe."

"If that's not an adventure, then what is? A new adventurer goes to a dungeon alone and stays there for an entire afternoon. That's an adventure!"

"..."

"I'm really not taking any risks. Thank you for your concern. I know what I'm doing."

It was a weak explanation. According to this statement, Luo Zhen really had no way to refute Aegina's argument.

Fortunately, after walking a few steps, the two reached the window set up by the guild to exchange magic stones for fari.

Aegina stopped talking and Luo Zhen put down his backpack.

Then, Luo Zhen took out small cloth bags one after another, each of which was filled with magic stones.

"You call this no risk?"

Looking at this scene, Aina's expression was undoubtedly wonderful. She was almost convinced by Luo Zhen.

After all, if you look closely, it's not hard to find that Luo Zhen doesn't look embarrassed at all.

"Maybe... I just stayed on the first floor for a little too long. Considering the strength and refresh rate of the monsters on the first floor, it really can't be considered an adventure."

This was Aegina's original thought, until she saw Luo Zhen taking out the magic stone.

Could this be the harvest of the first level?

As a guild employee, Aina had a basic understanding of dungeon theory. Although not as good as those first- and second-level adventurers, it was definitely better than most adventurers.

Luo Zhen must have gone deeper, perhaps to the fourth floor, or perhaps the fifth floor, or maybe even deeper.

The monsters on the top few levels refresh so frequently that it is impossible to provide so many magic stones in one afternoon.

While thinking, Luo Zhen had already poured all the magic stones into the drawer extending from the window.

I don't know how the value of the magic stone is measured. As soon as the drawer was closed and opened, the magic stone inside disappeared, and was replaced by a small pile of gold coins.

"A total of 28,000 faris, please keep it!"

The staff behind the counter reminded her of this, and Aina's expression became more complicated.

Ps. Ask for a ticket (╥﹏╥)

Twenty-eight thousand faris!

Normally, for a five-member Lv1 adventurer team, a trip to the dungeon would yield around Faris, which would be considered a good harvest.

Luo Zhen was alone and it only took him one afternoon, but his gains were higher than those of the small team.

Aina has begun to doubt whether Luo Zhen is a new adventurer.

There are special cases, but they are rare. At least, Aegina has never encountered any of them.

"Mr. Luo Zhen, are you really a newcomer?"

Seeing Luo Zhen putting away the Farley and preparing to leave, Aegina was ultimately unable to suppress the doubts in her heart.

Luo Zhen had indeed just registered as an adventurer this afternoon, and Aina was well aware of this.

However, there are examples of people who already have outstanding abilities, some even comparable to those of higher-level adventurers, before coming to Orario and becoming adventurers.

"A genuine newcomer! A month ago, I was still looking for a clan to join, but no one was interested in me!"

This seemingly self-deprecating statement actually shows that Luo is really happy.

Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west... Well, actually it’s not that exciting.

Although no clan was willing to accept him before, this was a two-way choice in itself.

It is normal to be rejected since you have no special features and poor physical fitness. There is nothing to complain about. Instead of blaming others, it is better to improve yourself.

Of course, that's what he said, but when the plug-in arrived and things were thriving, Luo Zhen would still feel secretly happy, even if it was a thriving business with both dangers and opportunities.

He would still feel secretly happy about the inevitable scenario that those gods who had rejected him would regret it in the future.

Although the crooked-mouthed dragon king is a little mentally retarded, it is undeniable that he looks really cool!

Skip the pretentious and face-slapping parts and go straight to the part where it’s too late to regret.

Cough, let’s savor it, let’s savor it.

"Okay, is there anything else, Ms. Aina? If not, I'll leave first."

Luo Zhen didn't waste much time here in the guild, but it would be better to go back as soon as possible. God knows whether Demeter has already returned to the base and is waiting for him.

In this world, the gentler a goddess appears on weekdays, the harder it is to coax her when she gets angry.

I had just agreed with Demeter this morning to go to the dungeon tomorrow, but I went there at noon today and stayed there for the whole afternoon. Luo Zhen felt a little guilty about this.

"See you later, then?"

Seeing that Aina didn't react and seemed to be thinking about something, Luo Zhen didn't plan to wait any longer. He said hello and turned to leave.

Aina also responded subconsciously: "Oh, see you later, Mr. Luo Zhen. Eh? Mr. Luo Zhen, please wait a moment!"

It was not until Luo Zhen disappeared from the guild that Aina realized what was happening. When she chased him out, there was no trace of Luo Zhen.

New adventurers usually choose a guild staff member as an advisor, and Aina had been considering this before.

As an adventurer who braved several floors in the dungeon for the first time, Aina believed that Luo Zhen needed an advisor.

Unfortunately, I was a step too slow because I was thinking about Luo Zhen's problem.

......

On the other side, in Tellestellion, where Demeter was stationed, Luo Zhen tiptoed through the main entrance, corridors, and staircases, and quickly moved towards his room.

Demeter is back!

This is what Luo Zhen noticed when he stepped into the gate of the base.

How did Luo Zhen know this?

It's very simple. At this point, it can be clearly seen that the magic stone lamp in Demeter's room has lit up.

Compared with ordinary adventurers, Luo Zhen's body was not dirty, but there was definitely some dust and a little blood.

And now, Luo Zhen plans to deal with the traces on his body first.

As we all know, as long as it is not discovered, it is equivalent to not doing it.

By the same token, as long as he looks normal, no one can prove that he has been to the dungeon!

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

"Stand there and don't move!"

Just as Luo Zhen had touched the door handle of his room and breathed a sigh of relief, a familiar voice sounded from behind him.

The goddess who had been waiting here for a long time discovered her target.

Luo Zhen turned his head mechanically, and what he saw was Demeter with a pouty face.

Why does the old woman act like a virgin?

Oops, I was wrong, Demeter is the best in the world!

A feeling of embarrassment arose in Luo Zhen's heart.

Being caught on the spot, he even subconsciously complained about Demeter...

He was a little afraid to look Demeter in the eyes.

"Hey, Master Demeter, who are you calling me?"

Although escaping is shameful, it is undeniably useful. Luo Zhen decided to play dumb, but this made Demeter even more unhappy.

He walked quickly to Luo Zhen, then pulled his face, flattened and rounded it.

"You bad boy, have you forgotten what I told you? Also, didn't we say we would go to the dungeon tomorrow? How could you change your mind at the last minute?"

"The most important thing is that you came back so late!"

"I'm sorry, Master Demeter. I didn't pay attention to the time."

"Call me Sister Demeter!"

Demeter was quite angry, just as Luo Zhen had initially guessed.

But, after all, the other party is worried about himself.

The gods have been in the mortal world for a long time, but the tone of interaction between the gods and their followers is still different. The attitude towards their followers depends on the personality traits of the gods themselves.

Some gods regard their followers as tools and drive them mercilessly.

Some gods regard their followers as their private property, and through the efforts of their followers, they can live comfortably in the underworld.

What's worse, some people regard their relatives as consumables, trampling them into the land along with their lives, just to please themselves.

There are not many gods of this type, and they are not mainstream, but they are definitely not few. In most cases, the gods' followers are of equal status and many of them support each other.

But people like Demeter treat their relatives as family members.

It’s not that there aren’t any, but they are very few.

Perhaps, some people would think that Demeter only treats Luo Zhen differently because he is special.

Yes, that’s exactly why I brought Luo Zhen back and supported him with all my heart.

However, Demeter truly treated her followers as her own family, or more precisely, as her own children.

She is the goddess of agriculture, harvest, and earth. As you can tell just by looking at her chest, she is a goddess full of maternal love.

If I have to say, because they are agricultural dependents, there are very few adventurers, or even none at all, but adventurers themselves are a dangerous profession.

Therefore, partiality is inevitable. It is human nature, and God is no exception.

Even though his face was being ravaged by Demeter, Luo Zhen was still very happy.

How could I not be happy with such pure concern?

Although he was indeed angry, given Demeter's personality, it was really hard to think of a way to teach him a lesson.
