Chapter 746: Wood was betrayed by a black-hearted capitalist
"What a pity. If I had known that the Goblin King had such an effect, I shouldn't have killed him so easily."
When he realized that his soaring ability value might have been provided by the younger brother summoned by the Goblin King, Wood couldn't help but show a look of regret on his face.
Because the mechanism of this world is somewhat similar to an RPG game, Wood came up with a routine similar to a card bug.
Since the little brothers summoned by the Goblin King can provide ability points, then as long as the magic stones are provided to it, wouldn't it be possible to summon more brothers, or even allow it to upgrade and evolve to summon stronger brothers?
Although the minions summoned by the Goblin King do not drop anything, killing these minions will allow him to gain considerable ability points.
Compared to the laborious efforts to attract monsters, the Goblin King's summoning ability is obviously more efficient. He can summon nearly a hundred monsters at a time, and the level is higher than him. This is simply the chosen "experience monster".
And when his Wood level reaches LV2, he will feed the Goblin King with a large amount of magic stones or the same kind.
Doesn’t it mean that enhanced monsters can improve themselves by swallowing magic stones and similar monsters?
As long as the level of the Goblin King rises, won't the little brothers he summons also rise with the tide? This is simply a chosen worker.
It's a good thing that the Goblin King is dead, otherwise after hearing Wood's complete set of ideas, he might really die with his eyes open.
The so-called black-hearted capitalists are probably not as ugly as Wood. The enhanced monsters that others fear like tigers have become social beasts of the 007 work system in his case.
Even compared with Wood, the Goblin King might not be able to tell who is the monster. No, it should be said that compared to devils like Wood, monsters are all kind.
Hestia obviously didn't know yet that Wood, a guy with the potential of a black-hearted capitalist, was regretting the death of a chosen worker. Instead, he said to Wood in a serious voice: "Listen up, Wood.
Regarding your basic ability values, you'd better not tell others.
Even your mother and sisters in "Mistress of Abundance" are the same.
I have never even heard of the basic ability value of the SSS level. I believe that you should be an extremely special existence in Orario.
I don’t know what this means, but I don’t want you to be targeted or even be in danger because of this.”
If we talk about "skills" and "magic", it can also be said that it varies from person to person. Even if others know about it, they can't do anything except envy, jealousy and hatred.
But "basic ability" is different. This is something that all adventurers have. Once others know that Wood has the ability to break limits, others will definitely want to get the answer from him.
After all, the higher the "basic ability", the further you can go in the future. Even if you are at the same level, as long as the basic ability is high enough, you can crush the same level or even leapfrog challenges.
What is the biggest obstacle for adventurers to improve their levels? Is it the improvement of basic ability values?
No, as long as you are willing to spend more time, you will be able to max out the basic ability values sooner or later.
The biggest obstacle that prevents adventurers from upgrading is the shackles-like "great achievements"!
And as long as you master the secret of breaking through the peak of basic ability value, it is almost equivalent to mastering the key to upgrade.
Just imagine, if an adventurer can raise his basic ability values to the level of SSS level (4000), will the so-called "great achievements" still be difficult for him?
Not to mention defeating special monsters of the same level in a single challenge, it is not impossible to kill monsters with a higher level than yourself by leapfrogging!
Unfortunately, Wood himself doesn't know how he managed to surpass the limits of his basic abilities.
But even if he said this, others probably wouldn't believe what he said, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the exposure of the matter, Hestia wanted Wood to keep it secret.
Early the next morning, as soon as it was light, Wood and Bell decided to go to the underground city again.
Wood's goal is to reach LV2 today, while Bell's goal is to explore the first eight floors of the dungeon alone.
Although Wood and Bell are both LV1, the huge gap in overall strength means that they cannot always act together.
Wood also gave Bell a piece of advice: if you want to grow as quickly as possible, you can't stay in a safe environment all the time.
Obviously, whether he is with Wood or before, it is a safe environment for Bell.
Yesterday, Lyu had systematically taught Bell basic combat skills and experience, and he could only rely on himself for the rest.
After all, there is a saying that goes well, practical fighting is the best teacher. If the flowers in the greenhouse want to grow the fastest, they must be baptized by the fire of war.
Of course, considering that Bell is currently the only one among Hestia's retinue, Wood didn't want to be reduced to a mere commander, so before heading to the dungeon this time, Wood also spent money to buy a set of good equipment for Bell.
"Captain, these are too valuable. I am just an ordinary member, and I have not made any achievements. This is really..."
Before Bell, who looked embarrassed and uneasy, had finished speaking, Wood reached out and interrupted him: "Okay, don't worry about these things, we also made a lot of money yesterday, didn't we?
And only if you become stronger can our dependents grow stronger, right? These are so-called investments, so don’t worry too much about it.”
After hearing Wood's words, although Bell didn't resist as much as before, he still felt a little guilty.
"Although that's true, the leader only bought such expensive equipment for me, but he himself..."
Because of yesterday's harvest, Wood and the others now have a full 800,000 farley in their hands. Wood is quite generous when he spends money now.
Wrist guards, leg armor, breastplate, Bell's small half set of armor cost about 200,000 mana. What's even more exaggerated is the short knife in Bell's hand because it is well made and extremely sharp.
, with a full price of 200,000 francs.
Compared to Bell, Wood did not buy any armor, only a long knife worth about 200,000 farley.
There is a huge difference between a 200,000 mana short sword and a 200,000 mana long sword. After all, expensive weapons are generally valuable because of the rare materials they are made from.
The materials required for a long knife are enough to forge three short knives. A short knife worth 200,000 faries can be called a high-quality one, while a long knife worth 200,000 faries can only be regarded as average.
And it is precisely because of this that Bell feels quite sorry, because in the eyes of the rabbit boy, as an ordinary family member, he spent a total of 400,000 mana to purchase this equipment.
But Wood was obviously the leader of the family, but he only spent 200,000 mana to buy a long knife of generally high quality.
Especially Bell knows very well that the biggest reason why they were able to achieve such results yesterday was because of Wood, so Bell, who is now being specially taken care of, feels even more stressed.
"As for weapons, there is actually not much difference to me between 200,000 French and 800,000 French. We can't afford the more expensive ones.
As for armor, it also means nothing to me, so you don't need to care about these things.
Because today we have to act alone, and this is your second time entering the dungeon, I think these things are necessary."
In the end, Bell still couldn't resist Wood's kindness, so he could only accept it with a moved face, and secretly felt that he must become stronger quickly in order to repay the kindness of the leader and Lord God.
When Wood and Bell left the equipment store and came to the square at the entrance of the dungeon again, their outfits seemed to be completely new.
Forget what Wood said, when Bell appeared in this outfit, it was obvious that no one regarded him as a fledgling rookie like yesterday.
After all, adventurers who have been hanging out in dungeons all year round also have good vision. Bell's equipment is worth at least hundreds of thousands of mana. Ordinary rookie adventurers cannot scrape such money.
"Two adults, do you need any support for your team?
Lily has the skills suitable for a supporter, and her fee is cheaper than other volunteers, only a thousand manalis."
Just as Wood and Bell were preparing to enter the dungeon, a small human girl wearing a white hooded robe and carrying a backpack larger than her body suddenly chatted with Wood and the others.
Supporters are non-combatants in the dungeon who are responsible for recovering dropped props and other items.
As mentioned before, when monsters in the dungeon are killed, they will drop magic stones, materials and other drops. The existence time of the dropped items is also limited.
Once a certain time has passed, the monster's drops will be refreshed by the dungeon.
In order to pick up dropped items in time and focus on fighting monsters, dungeons have a profession like "Supporter".
These "supporters" are also adventurers, but their combat capabilities are not strong. In order to ensure safety and maintain life, they will be responsible for helping to recover dropped items and earn rewards.
Yesterday, Wood and Bell went to the underground city. There were many supporters present, but they did not take a fancy to them. But today, unexpectedly, some supporters came forward to apply for jobs.
But this is not surprising, after all, the "supporters" choose to do this kind of support work because they lack combat capabilities and to ensure their own safety.
If the team you join is too weak and encounters powerful monsters in the dungeon, the team will be destroyed.
After all, the monsters in the dungeon don't care whether you are a combatant or a supporter. As long as you are a human or a demi-human, they will tear you to pieces.
By acting as a supporter for a powerful team, not only can safety issues be ensured, but the team can gain more, and sometimes they can also get extra "tips". Therefore, supporters naturally prefer to be employed by a powerful team compared to unknown adventurers.
.
Looking at the self-recommended female supporter in front of him, Wood decided to refuse without thinking.
Because this time he plans to go deep into the middle and lower levels of the dungeon, and with his speed and efficiency, ordinary supporters may not be able to keep up with him.
Rather than bringing a tow bottle, Wood preferred to go alone.
As for Bell, he is still a rookie. Today is his second time entering the dungeon. With his current equipment, there should be no danger in areas above the eighth floor of the dungeon. But what about hiring supporters?
Yes, it's a bit too extravagant.
"I'm sorry, because we only plan to operate on the upper level of the dungeon, so we don't need supporters for the time being."
The implication of Wood's words is obvious, that is, the two of them only intend to explore the upper levels of the dungeon, and there is no gain in following them.
Generally speaking, after hearing such words, the supporter should give up and leave, but what Lingwood didn't expect was that the supporter girl was quite persistent at the moment.
"Please help Lily, I have been rejected by several teams.
It’s okay to just explore the upper level, Lily only needs 500 mana, it’s fine, as long as she can barely maintain food and clothing for today.”
As the girl spoke, she revealed her pitiful little face under the hood.
The other person has short brown hair. Because he is a small human, he is short in stature. With this slightly cute little face, he looks even more pitiable.
"Captain, how about we hire her... I will definitely earn more than 500 manali today."
Seeing the girl's pitiful expression, Bell finally relented. Looking at the girl asking for help, Bell seemed to be reminded of his helpless self when he first came to Orario and was rejected by every family member.
The other party asked him for help, and he happened to be able to help the other party, so Bell wanted to lend a helping hand to the other party.
After hearing Bell's question about Wood, the girl named Lily was obviously stunned for a moment.
She originally thought that this two-person team was led by Bell. After all, Bell was wearing a set of equipment that looked quite high-end and looked more like a senior adventurer.
But Lily didn't expect that the boy in ordinary clothes was actually the one leading the team.
"please……"
The girl named Lily was obviously very discerning. When she saw that Wood was the one leading the team, she quickly bowed and said please.
"One thing I'm curious about is that there are quite a few adventurers here, right? Bell and I don't seem to have anything outstanding, so why did you insist on choosing us?
The hiring fee is 500 faries? Such income can only be enough for food and clothing? Why risk entering the dungeon?"
Wood was not Bell. He did not agree hastily because the girl looked cute and looked quite pitiful. Instead, he asked curiously.
"What this gentleman doesn't know is that a supporter is not necessary for the team, so I am out of work many times.
Rather than having no work and starving because of it, even if it is 500 faries, it is better than doing nothing if it can ensure safety.
As for why I identified two people, there is actually a reason..."
