Infinite Terror: I Have a Chat Group

Chapter 136 Grace and Magic!

Soon, the two arrived at an abandoned church. It looked like it had been abandoned for quite some time, and it was extremely dilapidated, with only ruins remaining.

However, after passing through the hall and a small room, you arrive at a basement and discover that it is a hidden gem. The basement is relatively well-preserved and fully furnished. Although it is not large, it is still large enough for people to live in.

"This is where we will live from now on."

Hestia's voice was a little soft. She understood that this place was quite bad, so she was worried that Lin Yu would find it disgusting and run away.

However, she had no choice. The money she earned from her daily job was enough to cover her food and drink, but she definitely couldn't afford to rent a place.

"It's alright, Lady Hestia, I'll soon have you living in a comfortable house."

For Lin Yu, killing monsters to earn money to build a big house might take some time, but if it's just about making money, that's a very simple matter.

"Yes, I believe you."

Seeing that Lin Yu didn't find it offensive, Hestia breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy. Then she hugged Lin Yu tightly.

This was tough on Lin Yu. After experiencing the taste of sex in the world of one, Lin Yu's resistance to women had decreased considerably. Hestia, on the other hand, had an extraordinary attraction, making it impossible for Lin Yu to remain unmoved.

"Lady Hestia, may we begin to inscribe the grace?"

To avoid making a fool of himself, Lin Yu quickly tried to divert Hestia's attention.

"sure."

Only by commemorating the favor would Lin Yu become a member of her clan, so Hestia herself was very eager.

"Lady Hestia, what do you need me to do?"

"You don't need to do anything, just take off your shirt and lie down on the sofa."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu followed Hestia's instructions, took off his shirt, and lay down on the sofa.

Hestia sat directly on Lin Yu, took out a syringe, pricked her fingertip, and let the oozing divine blood drip onto Lin Yu's back.

As the divine blood came into contact with Lin Yu's skin, a special pattern quickly took shape on Lin Yu's back. This was actually the sacred script used by the gods.

"Alright, Lin Yu, from this moment on, you are a member of my Hestia Familia!"

With the blessing of God fulfilled, Hestia was overjoyed; her kin were finally officially established.

Hestia took out paper and pen and copied the contents of the favor onto them.

Lin Yu - lv1

【Power: 10→10】

[Durability: 10→10]

[Dexterity: 10 → 10]

Agility: 10 → 10

[Magic Power: 10 → 10]

"magic":【】【】【】

Skills: None. "You actually have three magic slots right from the start, Lin Yu, you truly deserve to be called an ancient hero!"

Lin Yu took the paper and examined it, while Hestia excitedly praised him.

In this world, magic is the privilege of certain races, but divine grace allows anyone to learn magic, though the limit is only three, and most people only have one. Those who can use a second or third magic are rare talents who will be sought after by others during adventures.

Even those who can use three spells usually only have one spell slot at the beginning, and only gain more spell slots by leveling up. Lin Yu, on the other hand, has three spell slots from the start. If he has enough magic books, he can immediately possess three spells, which is quite extraordinary. That is why Hestia praised him so highly.

"Perhaps it's because I'm a pretty good magician."

Lin Yu looked at the attribute information in his hand and said calmly.

All attributes were zero, which was normal. After receiving a blessing, even if you have a certain amount of power, the display would still be blank. However, there were three magic slots, which surprised Lin Yu slightly, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Because Lin Yu is different from the people of this world, he has many powerful magic spells, so even if he only has one magic spell slot, it doesn't matter.

In this world, magic is divided into innate learnable magic and acquired grace magic.

Innate magic can be learned, but it has many drawbacks: the incantation is too long, the power is average, and there is a high risk of accidental magic explosion that could injure oneself.

Acquired magic is different; it is tailor-made for oneself, and its compatibility and efficiency are incomparable to innate magic, and its power is also far greater than that of innate magic.

Therefore, since the emergence of the grace system, innate magic has been basically abandoned and not used.

However, in Lin Yu's view, this was clearly a wrong turn.

What are the characteristics of magic?

There are many different kinds!

Taking the magic network mage as an example, there are attack, defense, movement, self-strengthening, enemy weakening, and so on. Attacks can even be divided into single-target attacks, area-of-effect attacks, penetrating attacks, fast attacks, ranged attacks, and so on...

In short, there is a corresponding magic to deal with any situation, and everyone can use various kinds of magic to form their own tactics.

However, in the world of DanMachi, one can only hold a maximum of three Blessing spells, so it's clearly impossible to do these things.

As for the fact that innate magic has too many flaws, Lin Yu has a different opinion. Magic is never something that can be achieved overnight; it requires gradual optimization and improvement. If people had not given up on innate magic after the gods descended, perhaps these flaws would have been resolved by now.

In short, while the acquired blessing magic seems to have no flaws, its biggest drawback is that it can only hold a maximum of three.

Lin Yu and Hestia registered at the guild, and since it was still early, Lin Yu decided to go check out the dungeon.

Although Hestia knew Lin Yu wasn't a newcomer, she was still a little worried. But it was inevitable for the children of the Familia to go to the dungeon, so Hestia could only tell Lin Yu to be careful.

Lin Yu arrived at the first floor via a huge spiral staircase. The environment here was very similar to a typical maze in an isekai adventure novel, with many interconnected passages. Without a map, many newcomers would probably get lost here.

There seemed to be very few adventurers and monsters on the first floor. Lin Yu walked around for a while but didn't see any adventurers or monsters.

After walking for a while, a strange thing happened on the wall of the dungeon: a goblin was spat out by the wall.

The goblin that landed on the ground opened its eyes, saw Lin Yu, and charged at him with a shout, waving its wooden club.

Seeing this, Lin Yu did not dodge and let the goblins attack him.

It can only be said that it is indeed a monster on the first floor, very weak. Its attack power is not even as high as that of an adult. Even an ordinary adult, if prepared, could probably easily deal with the goblin.

The goblin continued to attack Lin Yu, who retaliated by kicking out a ball that instantly turned the goblin into black mist and disappeared, leaving only a magic stone the size of a fingernail lying on the ground.

Magic stones are a specialty of dungeon monsters and have a wide range of uses, such as crafting magic stone lamps and magic stone elevators.

Magic stone refrigerators, and so on, are a type of energy with a wide range of uses, and therefore can be sold for money.

The stronger the monster, the better the quality of the magic stones it drops, and the more money they can be sold for. Some high-level monsters can also drop materials that can be used to craft equipment, which are usually more valuable.
