Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money Author: Mo Ruyi

Merlin traveled to the world of Dicuo and acquired the rare skill of alchemy.

Level 1 ability? Wait for me to buy some equipment.

Batman's car, Gundam mecha, Iron Man's suit.

Who says level determines everything? Is it ability value that determines level?

The strongest adventurer, LV7 Ota, has to take a detour when he sees me. Are you telling me that level is everything?

Times have changed, adventurers.

It is actually very simple to become stronger. Do you want this low-end Iron Man suit package worth 999 million, or this Hulk potion worth 1999 million?

Or perhaps, this 9.9 million Gundam mecha?

What, Aisi, do you want to become stronger? Equip this Mystic Eye, and pair it with this Noble Phantasm that can even cut through space, and you'll easily defeat a Level 7.

No money? Don't worry, I have cheap loans here. Your clan members are all using them. They only owe me a few billion, don't worry.

Chapter 1: Is it okay to raise a vixen?

The third level of the maze.

"One, two, three... Eleven pieces in total, plus a dozen or so fallen goblin teeth. That's all I got today."

"It's only a little over 4,000 Faris in total, which converts to RMB, close to 400 yuan. It's obviously not a small amount, but... it's totally not enough."

Merlin took a look at the bag containing magic stones and materials and couldn't help but frown.

It has been more than a week since he traveled to this world, and this is his fourth time entering the maze.

And his most real feeling now is... adventurers are really a waste of money.

Even a simple dagger would cost three thousand faris. In other words, his income today was only enough to buy a dagger and then have a meal at a cheap taver, leaving him with nothing.

In addition, adventurers go into the maze every day, and the wear and tear and consumption of their weapons are extremely great.

If an ordinary weapon can be used for more than a week, it is because the user is very careful.

"As expected, if we want to increase our income, we have to go deeper. Hmm... Let's go back and discuss it with Tia."

……

Deep in the deserted streets outside Orario lies an abandoned church basement. This is Merlin's residence and also the stronghold of the goddess Hestia's family.

"Tia, I'm back, this is a gift."

Merlin said as he placed the packed dessert on the table.

"Lin Jun, welcome back. Dinner is ready, and the owner was so kind that he even let me take back all the leftover fried potato balls."

"Gift? Um, eh, cake! Cake! Merlin, I love you so much!"

A girl with a baby face and big black hair and twin ponytails stood up on the sofa and greeted him first.

Then when he found that the gift box on the table contained a dessert cake, he suddenly threw Merlin to the ground and rubbed him.

This girl who looks like a kitten and is extremely clingy is Hestia, the main goddess of Merlin.

"Okay, Tia, get out of the way, I can't get up."

Merlin patted Hestia's head.

"Ohhh," Hestia finally let go of her hand and stood up, quickly picking up the cake on the table and started eating.

"Woo... So sweet. For the sake of this cake, I won't mind you calling me Tia, woo... But starting tomorrow, you have to call me Goddess!"

Hestia said as she ate, her mouth full like a squirrel.

At this time, Merlin slowly stated his purpose.

"Tiya, starting tomorrow, I might be back late."

"Oh, no problem."

Hestia nodded and continued to eat the cake. However, before she took two bites, she seemed to be suddenly awakened. She quickly raised her head and looked at Merlin, asking blankly.

"No, Lin Jun, what did you just say?"

"Tiya, I'm telling you, starting tomorrow, I might be back late, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner."

"Come back later? Oh, I get it. Lin Jun, do you have a woman outside? Wuwuwu... You obviously have me!"

"Whose vixen is this? I must be careful..."

Hestia grabbed Merlin by the collar and demanded fiercely.

Compared to Hestia's panic and anxiety, Merlin still seemed very calm.

"Because starting tomorrow, I'm going to explore deeper into the maze. It will take more time then."

After hearing the explanation, Hestia immediately calmed down.

"Ohhh, going to the deeper floors of the maze? I see. Why didn't you say that earlier?"

Hestia couldn't help but let go of Merlin's hand, but the next second her calmness was replaced by panic.

"No, Lin Jun, you said you wanted to explore deeper floors? You've only been an adventurer for less than a week, and you're already thinking about exploring deeper floors. That's too dangerous. And you're all alone, which is even more dangerous. Without someone to look after you, any accident could happen."

"This matter is more dangerous than raising a vixen outside!"

"No, as a god, I absolutely disagree with you exploring deeper floors right now."

Hestia's little head shook like a rattle, her attitude extremely firm.

"So, will you agree to this if I raise a vixen?"

Merlin asked curiously.

"Huh? A vixen? Well, that's not impossible to consider. Ah, no, Mr. Lin, please don't interrupt me intentionally!"

Hestia gave Merlin a slightly annoyed look, her hands on her hips. Despite her 1.4 meter height, she exuded a strong aura.

"In short, it's too dangerous for you, Lin Jun, to explore deeper floors alone now."

"If I'm not alone, then it's okay?"

Merlin naturally caught the other meaning in Hestia's words.

"Ah... well, if it's someone I approve of, then it's not impossible!"

Hestia, in a rare moment of clarity, left some room for maneuver in her words.

"Okay, Tiya, I'll find my teammates."

Merlin nodded and replied.

Although he didn't think that adding a teammate would make much difference.

But since Hestia thinks so, then just find someone who won't hold him back.

At this time, Hestia on the opposite side naturally also keenly noticed Merlin's thoughts.

"Ah, I got it, Lin Jun."

"My good friend's children are planning to explore deeper into the shallow layer soon. I asked them to take you with them. You can follow them and get a feel for the conditions below. You can also learn about forming a team."

"How's it going, Lin Jun?"

Hestia tilted her head and looked at Merlin with a smile on her face and asked.

"OK, all right."

Merlin agreed immediately. After all, looking at the situation, if he didn't agree, Hestia might never give in. Besides, there would be no loss even if he agreed.

"Haha, okay, that's settled then. I'll talk to my friend tomorrow and it should be ready the day after tomorrow."

"Alright, alright. I'll update your ability values ​​after dinner."

Chapter 2: Alchemy is the strongest?

"Strength 20, Endurance 15, Dexterity 30, Agility 10, Magic 30."

"Well, apart from agility, other ability values ​​have hardly increased."

"Well, Lin Jun, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Everyone's ability value increases like this at the beginning. There's no need to worry too much."

"Alright, Lin Jun, go to sleep quickly. This is a special seat."

Hestia, who had climbed onto the bed first, patted the spot beside her, signaling Merlin to hurry over.

"Okay, Tiya, go to sleep first. I still have some things to do."

"Wow...Okay, you should go to bed soon too, don't stay up late."

Hestia rubbed her eyes, lay down, and within three seconds she began to breathe steadily.

After Hestia fell asleep, Merlin glanced at the paper in his hand that recorded his ability values.

[Merlin, Human, LV1]

[Strength 20, Durability 15, Dexterity 30, Agility 10, Magic 30]

[Skill: Alchemy]

Such ability values ​​are considered very low among LV1 adventurers.

However, Merlin didn't care about such ability values ​​at all.

Because he himself doesn't make a living by his abilities.

[Alchemy]: Possessing the ability to turn the impossible into the possible and create infinite possibilities.

Although the introduction of this skill is so simple, after experimenting, Merlin clearly realized how powerful and terrifying this skill is.

As described in the explanation, alchemy has the ability to make the impossible possible and create infinite possibilities.

Not only can he forge weapons like a blacksmith, but he can also make props like a prop maker. In addition, he can prepare potions like a pharmacist and even enchant weapons. He can be said to be an all-round profession.

"Well, next we need to go deeper into the shallow layer, so we need to make some preparations in advance."

"If you go down to the twelfth floor, you might encounter orcs, war shadows, and killer ants."

"Mostly power-types, but also speed-types and monsters with hard shells."

"For powerful monsters, just use poison."

Merlin took out a small bottle of green liquid from the storage bag beside him.

"Salamandra venom, a small bottle like this is worth five thousand fares, which is only two hundred and fifty yuan in RMB, almost a day's salary for me."

"Then refine it with these arrows."

Merlin said as he took out a few more crossbow arrows and placed them on the table, seven in total.

"About seven is enough."

“Any more and the effect might be diminished.”

"Huh... Refined!"

As Merlin finished speaking, a dazzling white light enveloped the bottle of venom and the arrow on the table.

After a few seconds, the white light gradually dissipated, and the bottle of venom disappeared. Instead, seven arrows with green luster on their arrowheads lay there quietly.

Merlin immediately picked up one of the arrows, and soon the information on the arrow appeared before his eyes.

[Poison Arrow]: An arrow containing a strong toxin with a power of 20. After hitting the target, the target will enter a poisoned state and continue to bleed, losing 30 points per second for 100 seconds.

"Power 20, only slightly stronger than a hit with a stick, but the important thing is the debuff."

"Poisoned, losing 30 points of health per second? If it lasts for a hundred seconds, that means a total of three thousand points of damage."

"Hiss... this effect is too exaggerated."

"Most shallow-level monsters probably don't have more than 1000 HP. Even the thick-skinned orcs have only a little over 1,000 HP at most."

"This poisonous arrow can almost kill instantly."

"Although there are only seven of them, if used well, they can definitely turn the tide of the battle."
