Zongman: A Story That Begins From The Wrong Place

Have to say, this is a very idiotic question.

The reason why Hephaestus stayed up so late was obviously waiting for specific news from him.

However, the reason why Qi Shaoyun asked knowingly was to give Hephaestus a chance to complain, so as to reduce the negative emotions he left on the other party.

After all, he still knows the truth that blocking is worse than sparse.

At this moment, Hephaestus, who was dressed in men's clothes, was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, leaning forward, and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box next to the lamp on the coffee table and put it in his mouth.

Looking at the matchbox farther away, he didn't choose to get up to get it, but leaned back on the sofa again, and said with a cigarette in his mouth, "You also know that it's time to rest at this time."

see.

Qi Shaoyun didn't answer the call, stepped forward to pick up the matchbox on the coffee table, pulled out one of them, and then slid and lit it, with his left hand protecting the flame, he approached Hephaestus unhurriedly.

It wasn't until the Goddess poked her head to light the cigarette in her mouth that he extinguished the match and said, "I'm very sorry, my negligence has caused Lord Shangshen to worry."

Seeing the new member standing across from him admit his mistakes with sincerity, Hephaestus couldn't bear to be angry. After exhaling a puff of smoke, his expression returned from seriousness to normal.

"Although our family doesn't have too many rules, you are no longer alone. You should adapt to the family's way of life as soon as possible so that things like today won't happen again."

Sighing slightly, Hephaestus spoke softly.

Slightly raising his eyebrows, he glanced at Qi Shaoyun who was still standing.

"sit down."

Hearing this, Qi Shaoyun felt a little relieved.

"It seems that the late return matter has been revealed, so the next thing is to join the family fortunately."

Just as Qi Shaoyun was thinking about sitting on the sofa with his butt pouted, Hephaestus suddenly continued: "I heard Chun said that you brought a girl back?"

"Yes, she and my family are neighbors." He replied, trying to be as natural as possible.

Across the curling smoke, each of them looked at each other.

Qi Shaoyun took a deep breath, and took the initiative to say: "Master Shangshen... I want Xing to join the family."

As if anticipating his request, Hephaestus let out a puff of smoke with his usual face, and the unique smell of tobacco permeated the air.

After a moment of silence, the ash fell into the iron ashtray with the shaking of her slender index finger. The goddess said unhurriedly, "It's purely out of personal wish, I hope that child will join the family."

"But Shaoyun, the family has its rules, and as the main god, I can't break this rule just to favor a certain child."

From the perspective of the new member's feelings, Hephaestus did not directly answer "no", which has taken Qi Shaoyun's personal emotions into consideration.

However, just when Hephaestus was thinking about whether he needed to rely on his interpersonal relationship to at least let the girl named Xing join a certain family, suddenly a bag of magic crystals was placed on the coffee table.

This inexplicable behavior made Hephaestus startled slightly.

She looked at Qi Shaoyun on the sofa again and saw that there was a confident smile on the young man's face.

"Master Shangshen, do you know how many magic crystals are contained here?"

Dai Mei raised his eyebrows slightly, but Hephaestus became interested instead, his eyes fell on the magic crystal on the coffee table again, and he pondered for a while:

"There are about 110 low-level magic crystals here. Is this what you got in the maze today?"

Not bad.

For a rookie who has only just obtained a favor, hunting down 110 monsters by himself is indeed a very good achievement.

"Master Shangshen really has a lot of insight."

First flattering me that I don't need money, Qi Shaoyun took out 11 magic crystals from the belt, and then continued to add: "After removing the 11 magic crystals in my hand, there are still 102 magic crystals left in the bag."

Having said that, he paused slightly with a smile on his face.

"And these magic crystals are all obtained by lucky killing."

102 goblins are not too many, just the number for the system to upgrade to Lv3.

When heard here.

Hephaestus shook his left hand that had just been raised in mid-air, and the cigarette held in his fingertips fell off, falling to the ground and splashing a sprinkling of sparks.

However, compared to the impact of Qi Shaoyun's words, it is obvious that this change cannot pull him out of the shock.

Under normal circumstances.

A hundred low-level magic crystals are obviously impossible to shock the head god of the family who owns a Lv5 adventurer, but if it comes from a non-adventurer who has not yet received the favor of God.

The meaning it represents is completely different.

According to Chun Yuxing's brief introduction, it is obvious that the other party is just a newcomer who has just arrived in Olali, and it only took one day to obtain more than a hundred magic crystals.

Although it is only the lowest quality, such a terrifying record is already extremely shocking!

Looking at the whole of Orario, there are only a handful of them.

Although the talent cannot be directly judged by combat strength, the lowest talent of a person with such terrifying strength is Lv4, and he can even grow to the level of Lv5 and Lv6!

The boots stomped on the sparks that fell to the ground, Hephaestus restrained himself, leaned forward, looked at Qi Shaoyun with a serious expression, and said, "The child has never been to Olalie before?"

Knowing that her goddess was confirming with herself whether Xing had joined other families, Qi Shaoyun firmly shook her head in denial.

"Fortunately, I have never been out of the village before, and it is even more impossible to obtain gifts from other gods."

Hearing this, Hephaestus fell silent again.

It is a loss for a person with such talents not to be able to join the family; if the other party joins another family, wouldn't it be even more of a loss if the other party goes up and down?

Thoughts so far.

Hephaestus already understood the reason why Qi Shaoyun hurriedly took her to the underground labyrinth and returned to the ground so late after fortunately arriving in Orario.

This is a nomination certificate.

Slightly raised his eyes, four eyes intersected.

He sighed helplessly, but Hephaestus said in an extremely serious tone: "You yourself have only received God's favor for a few days, and you dare to lead people down the maze without authorization. I hope this is the only one!"

Hearing the slightly sullen admonition of his goddess, Qi Shaoyun was overjoyed and quickly spoke up.

"Then Lord Shangshen, do you need to let Xing test your strength?"

Hearing this, Hephaestus rolled his eyes at Qi Shaoyun.

"Then do you want me to test it, or give me a favor directly?" She asked meaningfully.

With a light cough, to cover up the embarrassment that his little thoughts had been exposed, Qi Shaoyun got up quickly and changed the subject.

"Then I'll go and ask her to come in and see you."

After that, he ran to the door resentfully.

When he came back again, Xing who looked timid followed behind him.

Seeing the girl's weak and pitiful appearance, Hephaestus was slightly taken aback, and on the contrary doubted the authenticity of the opponent's record of 102 kills.

After all, no one who saw Xing at first sight could connect her with the death of 102 low-level monsters; but such a thought was only fleeting, and Hephaestus still chose to believe Qi Shaoyun in the end.
