'It seems that, besides the Space Storage Magic, Link has more secrets. Perhaps there are other special abilities that cannot be disclosed to the outside world, or perhaps there are some unique methods. In short, it is something that cannot be shared with others and is difficult to explain. ' Eina immediately made a reasonable judgment based on her own experience.
"Mr. Link, I understand what happened today, but remember that when you redeem these magic stones and dropped items today, and what you just said, you must not tell anyone else—not even other members of our guild. The employees must not disclose this easily either. If the secret is leaked, the consequences will be severe."
Eina reminded Link very seriously,
"At the same time, you need to be more careful when selecting teammates in the future. If you're partnered with someone who has a bad temper, your situation may leak out. Of course, in the end, it's preferable to go on adventures alone rather than forming a team, or to form a team only with your Familia members, but considering the current status of your Hestia Familia…"
Eina didn't continue. Currently, Link is the only member of the entire Hestia Familia—where could the others come from? The risk of finding adventurers outside the Familia as teammates is very high. Link naturally understands that once he forms a team with others, his uniqueness will quickly be noticed.
Link couldn't help but think it would be great if the daily gacha system could select a suitable teammate so that he could join the Familia without worrying about betrayal. It's unfortunate that the lottery is entirely random. For instance, I only bought a box of hot sauce last night, which was completely useless.
"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Miss Eina."
'I was reflecting a little in my heart, to be honest, about the possibility of having a partner to raid the dungeon with. Even without mentioning the advantage of having someone to watch my back, at least I wouldn't feel lonely in the boring dungeon. '
"In this case, Mr. Link, I won't say anything further. Next, let's discuss the value of these dropped items."
Eina picked up the magic stone and the two monster drops, placed them on the table, and began to explain.
"The magic stones produced by weak goblins and kobolds aren't very valuable; each one is worth only 100 vali. However, goblin fangs and kobold claws are rare drops, and the value of these two drops is far greater than 100 vali after being smelted by the Hephaestus Familia's blacksmith. They can even be crafted into an extremely rare magic sword. However, the process of forging it into an excellent weapon is also quite challenging. After all, magic swords are very rare, but that doesn't hinder the blacksmiths' enthusiasm for them as forging materials. Therefore, each of these drops can be sold for 5,000 vali."
Can one be sold for 5,000 vali?
Link didn't even need to do the math to realize that the value of the dropped items alone exceeded 1 million vali.
"Rare drops are truly valuable..."
"Yes, the value of general rare drops fluctuates between 2,000 and 15,000. Of course, if it's something produced at a deeper level, the value will be higher. Mr. Link, how many drops do we have in total here?"
"473 items."
"In this case, it's 2,365 million valis. You've earned a massive sum of money after entering the dungeon for the first time. If other members of the guild knew about it, they'd probably be intimidated by your purchasing power, Mr. Link, right?"
Link smiled bitterly.
Not only would it intimidate someone, but it would probably scare them senseless.
The two million three hundred sixty-five thousand valis is just from drops, excluding the magic stones.
'You know, in the original plot, when Bell first became an adventurer, he only earned a few thousand valis after working hard all day, barely enough for a day's worth of food and clothing. '
(Translator-san: Did he break the fourth wall to tell us that? 🤔🤔🤔)
The difference really isn't even a little bit.
"However, Mr. Link," Eina adjusted her glasses, "next time, Mr. Link, it would be better not to sell so many dropped items at the guild."
"What's wrong?"
"With so many dropped items appearing at the same time, the higher-ups of the guild will definitely investigate. This time, I can help you find a reason to mislead them, but this kind of thing can only be concealed once."
With so many dropped items flooding the market, it will undoubtedly attract the attention of interested parties.
"Then, Mr. Link, you should handle such a large quantity of drops through other channels next time. If I remember correctly, Goddess Hestia should be friends with Goddess Hephaestus. If you can, sell these drops through the Hephaestus Family…"
Eina didn't finish speaking, but Link instantly understood.
The Hephaestus Family is originally a Family that specializes in forging. It is well-known throughout Orario and has long-term cooperation with many large Families. If they help sell it, it can silence many people.
Furthermore, as a family of forgers, the Hephaestus Familia itself needs these dropped materials to craft weapons, and they can process and utilize them on their own.
This is indeed a good idea.
It seems that when the time comes, He will have to trouble Hestia again and ask for her assistance.
...
The materials dropped by the monsters were sold for 2,365,000 valis, and the magic stones were sold for 51,300 valis, for a total of 2,416,300 valis.
Link finally left the guild with over 3.4 million valis.
Of course, to be able to sell it at this price, the guild also made a considerable profit, including Eina's bonus.
To handle such a large order, the bonus will definitely be indispensable.
With today's harvest, Link returned to his residence.
After seeing the cute, busty loli standing outside the house, anxiously looking back and forth, Link immediately quickened his pace and ran.
"Link!"
Hestia, who had been anxiously waiting outside the door because she hadn't seen Link for a long time, instantly became happy when she saw him return. She ran towards Link and pounced into his arms.
Oh, crap...
'Hestia, you hit someone with your chest... '
Link only felt two large, soft mounds hitting his chest hard, then squeezing and deforming it...
He could clearly feel the huge contours of these two mounds.
Although it felt great, it was lucky he had become an adventurer; otherwise, those two mounds might have crushed him to the ground.
After hugging Link, Hestia immediately circled around him to check for injuries. After finding none, she patted his proud chest in a reassuring manner.
"Hmm! Seeing Link return safely, the worry in my heart has finally eased!"
Since Link left in the morning, she had been unsettled at home. After all, this was the first time her child had entered the dungeon, and she was worried that he would encounter some accidents in the dangerous dungeon.
Now that she saw Link had returned safely, her worries finally disappeared.
"Hestia, I promised you that I would return safely, didn't I? I'm the one who keeps my promises the most."
"Yes, Link is the best! How did you feel about going to the dungeon for the first time today?"
Hestia took Link's hand and walked home.
"It feels... good. The monsters don't seem that strong."
"Oh? Wasn't there any pressure from the first-level monsters? Hey, Link, let's upgrade Falna quickly and let me see your progress today."
Asking the family's main goddess to help upgrade Falna is also a very important step.
Upgrading Falna can more clearly confirm the increase in power. Of course, upgrading stats is also a necessary means to become stronger; the most important aspect is the advancement of one's level.
For example, upgrading from LV.1 to LV.2.
If an adventurer has enough experience to upgrade but does not ask the gods or goddesses to assist in upgrading Falna, then their level will never improve.
Therefore, upgrading Falna is essential and very important for adventurers.
.
Back inside, Link took off his clothes and turned his back to Hestia.
He also wanted to see how much his attributes had grown today.
