The Status's upgrade was just as Aston had speculated, and the gains from the sublimation were stronger than before.
Coupled with Aston's increased strength after leveling up in the past two days, his current strength had completely reached the level 4, and there was even a faint possibility that he had already reached level 5.
However, this was just Aston's speculation, as there was no point of reference.
Although he had been moving with Ryuu and others, he hadn't sparred with them, only observing their actions against monsters.
However, the monsters in the Lower Floors were like chopping vegetables for level 5 adventurers, not worth mentioning. Naturally, it was impossible to force them to reveal their true strength.
Similarly, after reaching the current level, the monsters in the Lower Floors were like chopping vegetables for Aston, easily killed. Hence, he assumes that his strength might be close to level 5.
Now, if Goliath appeared in front of him again, he wouldn't use Excalibur, relying solely on his Sharingan, various magic, and his own strength, plus the development ability "Leapfrog." Aston could eliminate it with a single sword.
Aston was very sure of this.
"Now, can you tell me what happened?" After updating his Status, Hestia couldn't wait to ask what had happened in the dungeon in the past two days.
Aston nodded at the words and began to explain.
He had just started talking, and Hestia's mouth widened, showing a shocked expression. This expression continued until Aston finished talking, and then Hestia collected herself.
As soon as she collected herself, Hestia, who had changed from the previous astonished expression, excitedly pounced into Aston's arms.
"Aston, Aston, my good Aston, having you is truly my luck." Hestia had a radiant smile on her face, rubbing her cheek against his chest continuously, extremely excited.
Looking at Hestia in this state, Aston smiled slightly, not resisting, and played along with her.
After half an hour of playing around, the two finally settled down. In order to celebrate Aston's level up, Hestia voluntarily went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Aston found this statement somewhat speechless, shook his head, and began to look at the attribute panel.
He had wanted to check the attribute panel on the way back, but he was not in the mood due to Freya's gaze.
Now, there were no annoying looks in the residence.

While in the Lower Floors of the dungeon, after obtaining the reward of the Master Enchanter, Aston began to use the abilities of this secondary profession, using auxiliary magic to enchant the weapons of Ryuu and others from time to time, enhancing their combat power. Therefore, the Enchanter's experience also increased a bit.
Apart from this, the experience of the Alchemist Master also increased by two hundred.
It was the experience gained when Aston made the Living Spirit Potion just now. The experience brought by a bottle of Living Spirit Potion could completely compare with the experience of making potions in the previous two times.
Obviously, the level of the Living Spirit Potion was much higher than the potions made in the previous two times.
It was a master-level potion, like a potion made by the gods of the heavenly realm in this world.
However, Aston couldn't do this kind of thing frequently.
Because the ingredients for the Living Spirit Potion were too precious.
After updating the blessing, he communicated with Hestia about the situation in the past two days. From Hestia's mouth, Aston learned that even Orario had few of these herbs, and it would be very unrealistic for him to try to gain alchemist experience by making Living Spirit Potions.
The reason why he was able to collect them all this time was entirely because Hephaestus's large-scale Familia.
If it were Hestia's Familia, it would probably take a very long time to collect so many.
Looking at the two flawed items and the Faction Card in the attribute panel, Aston pondered for a moment, then looked up at Hestia, who was washing dishes in the small kitchen, and said, "Hey, Hestia, the Familia should be able to start developing now."
"Let's go see if we can recruit new members tomorrow."
"Eh? Are we starting now?" Hestia was a little surprised at the words and turned back to look at him, asking in surprise.
They had agreed before to wait until Hestia's Familia's alchemy shop was up and running before trying to recruit new members.
Why did he suddenly want to recruit new members now?
"Before, I wasn't confident about rapidly expanding the Familia, planning to take it step by step. But now, I have a way, so naturally, we can't waste any time." With Aston's current strength at level 4, approaching level 5, the Hestia Familia now had the absolute conditions to develop and grow.
A level 4 adventurer with strength approaching level 5 was already the most powerful adventurer force among the Orario intermediate Familias.
Familias with the strength of a first-class adventurer could be considered large Familias.
Large Familias in Orario were few.
As long as he took Familia members to the dungeon for training for a day, under the radiating power of leveling up by monster hunting, new members could rapidly rise. There was no need for Aston to worry, and it wouldn't hinder him.
"Hey, tell me properly why you changed your mind." Hearing Aston's words, Hestia couldn't care less about washing dishes. She wiped her hands on the apron and walked out of the kitchen, sitting down beside Aston, asking him to explain why they were starting to develop the Familia now.
Regarding this, Aston didn't hide the matter of the Faction Card. However, he presented it as a new ability he gained for leveling up, just not recorded by the Status.
After all, it was something he bound himself, also considered his ability.
On this point, Aston did not lie.
"Hey, you can share your leveling ability?"
"That's really great!!!" After hearing his explanation, Hestia's eyes sparkled.
If that was the case, the Hestia Familia could soon develop a group of powerful adventurers.
However, after the excitement, Hestia became calm and eventually shook her head.
"Aston, let's talk about the development of the Familia a month later."
"During this period, focus on your own growth."
"We can't let the addition of new members delay your progress." Hestia rejected Aston's proposal with a firm tone, giving a sense of indisputability.
Seeing Hestia's reaction, Aston opened his mouth but ultimately didn't refute, nodding in agreement.
