Chapter 733: Hearing of the Expedition, Monsters Riot

~15 min read 2,811 words

Regarding Finn's orders, no one in the Loki Familia Gold Mining Team had any objections, but...

"Broly-san's drops account for forty percent, is this..."

Because Broly occupied nearly half of the total drop quantity, many people were very concerned about whether to charge fees.

"Being able to have this many drops is related to Broly's own Luck ability; our Ais and Lefiya can share in this high drop-rate luck, he has already paid for this service, not to mention he also taught our casters Water Magic..."

Regarding this, Finn explained it to the others this way; he did not intend to go back on his word and charge the boy just because the Saiyan boy had many drops.

"Captain Finn, let's split the loot profits I obtained this trip fifty-fifty with you."

However, Broly took the initiative to find him during his rest afterwards and spoke about this matter.

"I should have already said this; you have already paid for our team's logistics services."

Finn declared again.

"One thing is one thing; my matter with Ais and Lefiya is separate, and if not for your Familia's help, relying on myself I probably would have found it very difficult to transport that many drops out of the Deep Floors quickly and thus gain the profit.

Hmm, supporters on the Upper Floors all share in the Dungeon exploration profits; there's no reason that upon reaching the Deep Floors here, such supporter services would instead become free. Captain Finn, you need not stand on ceremony with me."

Broly was the type to treat others well if they treated him well, and he could perceive some of the pressure this Pallum Captain was under regarding whether to charge fees.

"Alright, that helps a lot, but fifty-fifty is too much; how about this, we'll split it according to the normal supporter share, what do you think?"

"Fine."

Thus, a portion of Broly's drop profits was distributed, and in return he obtained the supporter services of a logistics team whose members were all Level 3 or above, with the highest being Level 6.

Once profits were shared, the other members of the Loki Familia Gold Mining Team became increasingly friendly toward Broly, and no one further complained about his drops occupying nearly half the team's transport capacity.

The monster grinding assembly line started up; Broly and Ais were the two main grinding forces, while Lefiya, protected by the Amazoness Sisters, was likewise one of the main grinding forces.

"Proud warriors, Forest archers, encroaching plunderers to the front, take up your bows, answer your kin's call, nock arrows and draw strings to ignite blazing flames, the Forest's beacon commands you to loose, Elven Fire Arrows fall like a sudden rain, burn the savages!"

Fire Spears volleyed, as if a meteor shower party had opened in the Dungeon depths, rumbling as they enveloped the entire Death Colosseum.

Large numbers of mere Level 4 monsters simply couldn't withstand the Elven girl's wide-area Fire Magic output; okay, even Level 5 strengthened monsters couldn't withstand it, and were quickly submerged in the Fire Spears' flames.

Lefiya's Skill 【Fairy Cannonade】 can amplify Magic effects, and its amplification effect on attack Magic is doubled.

Under the condition of being protected and able to cast safely, she directly displayed her output as a Magic Cannon, surprisingly suppressing the entire Death Colosseum's monster spawns with high firepower.

Hmm, the Elven girl being able to squeeze into the Loki Familia's first team at Level 3 is not without reason.

After watching the Elven girl's Magic bombardment show, the message 【Choice Over Effort】 suddenly popped into Broly's mind.

Hmm, it's not that the Prince's fighting style is bad; it's that the Prince's fighting style chose the wrong targets. In terms of clearing trash, the Prince's fighting style is still very useful.

Coincidentally, through the Wing Skill's sharing effect, Broly could also replicate what Lefiya could do; after the Elven girl exhausted her Magic and withdrew, he used the same chant to condense Fire Spears and unleashed the Magic version of the Prince's fighting style.

Causing the Dungeon's 37th Floor Labyrinth's Death Colosseum to rain down continuous meteor fire showers this day.

Of course, after doing it once, Broly didn't continue, because the Prince's fighting style wasn't good for letting the Loki Familia Gold Mining Team help recover monster drops, and wasn't conducive to practicing swords with the Sword Princess.

However, sword practice didn't last too long either; after continuously grinding at the Death Colosseum for five days, this abnormal grinding behavior had to be announced as ended.

Of course, it wasn't that Broly and Ais couldn't hold on; it was that their equipment couldn't hold on. Even with daily temporary maintenance, the two swords with the Indestructible attribute were also getting chipped.

Broly's Frostmourne Gauntlet Armor, the right arm guard, had even developed very obvious cracks during this crazy grinding process.

If he continued using them without regard for durability, these Divine Forging Equipment worth over a hundred million might be scrapped because of it.

"Looks like we can only stop here."

Finn said.

"Actually, you could use our weapons."

Broly was somewhat reluctant to stop; he really wanted to say that. The Hokushin Style let him use all kinds of weapons.

Even without weapons, fighting bare-handed, Broly could still fight, and would even be stronger than when using a sword.

This is the value of the 【Fist Master】 Skill being able to iterate the 【Swordsmanship Pinnacle】 Skill.

Of course, without the Fist Armor's protection, if his Ki isn't enough, his hands might get injured.

Because the action of force is mutual.

The monsters here at the Death Colosseum, like Earth Golems and Lizardmen, have quite hard bones and scales.

"Then fine, let's go back."

Broly did not refuse returning to the surface; during the week of continuous grinding in the Dungeon, he got along very harmoniously with Ais and Lefiya.

The Sword Princess and Elven girl's Happiness Value growth momentum was also very pleasing, but the other Encounter Targets on the surface were not so.

Besides the Elven lady, the others' Happiness Values — not to mention rising — not dropping was already considered good.

"Ah, Broly-san / that kid, when will he come back?!"

Whether it was Liliruca, Hestia, or Xier the tavern poster girl with Freya underneath her skin, they all somewhat missed the Saiyan boy who had left the surface for a week.

The Goddess's longing for the Saiyan boy was completely accepted by the Goddess Attendant girl; just as Helen could no longer bear her own Goddess acting like a girl in passionate love, restless and uneasy due to her lover's days of no contact, wanting to advise sending someone into the Dungeon to investigate, the Loki Familia Gold Mining Team returned.

"Ah, that kid Broly, finally back?!"

Looking at Freya-sama leaning by the Babel Tower high floor window, gazing down with a surprised and delighted expression at the Saiyan boy coming out with the Loki Familia team, Helen just felt a bit too ashamed to watch.

As for this, this much... it's just a mere, mere guy who received Freya-sama's momentary fancy.

"Xier?"

"Ah, Broly-san, do you have any orders?"

"Uh, it's not that I have orders; you've just been staring at me blankly. Speaking of which, didn't we agree to call each other by name, without honorifics?"

After a week apart, Broly felt the poster girl was a bit strange; her gaze looking at him was so tender it seemed like she wanted to melt him.

And compared to the poster girl just wanting to melt him with her gaze, Liliruca and Hestia-sama truly wanted to melt him with actual actions.

After staying in the Dungeon for a week, his already calmed Qi and blood were stirred up again upon returning to the Familia residence by one person and one Goddess.

Only after using every trick to satisfy the two of them did Broly manage to extricate himself.

Of course, it wasn't that he disliked the Pallum girl and the Loli Goddess showing intimate postures toward him.

It was just that the passion of the one goddess and one person was too much; he was afraid he would end up in the hot spring pool again, facing the situation of growing together again.

"Ah, sorry, it seems I forgot."

Xier's face was red, very delicate and cute.

"But who told you, Broly, you bad guy, to have the heart to leave me for so long?"

Helen was somewhat embarrassed to speak of her own fervent emotion changes that had secretly surged in her heart after she transformed into the barmaid girl, yet they were mixed with some resentment toward the boy in front of her for making her own Goddess long for him, so she said to the boy with a somewhat aggrieved tone.

"Uh, sorry..."

Broly scratched his head, then sincerely apologized to the barmaid girl; he hadn't intentionally avoided the girl before him, but the result was that she had been avoided by him.

"Well, since you've apologized like this, I can only magnanimously forgive you."

Xier's puffed-up cheeks, which had shown she was somewhat angry, quickly subsided.

【Lady Freya, show some spine, don't forgive the other party so easily!】

Helen shouted in her heart, but this posture's appearance was directing her actions.

"Right, Mr. Broly, when you address Ru later, just call her name directly."

The barmaid girl leaned over and said quietly to the Saiyan boy.

"Eh?!"

"This is me helping you, you must not disappoint me~"

"Ah, thank you."

Broly hurriedly nodded, saying thanks quietly.

"Mr. Broly, this is the sauce meat dish you ordered."

The elf young lady soon served the dishes, placing dishes on their table.

"Thank you, Ru."

Broly thanked very naturally, and called the elf young lady's name.

"Mm~"

The female elf's body trembled, suddenly remembering this matter of being called by name.

"Ru, Broly has thanked you, how will you respond?"

Just as she was preparing to perfunctorily brush it off with a single "You're welcome," Xier, in her capacity as barmaid, appeared behind her at some unknown time, asking with a smile, as if reminding her not to forget what she had agreed to.

"You're welcome, Br-, Broly."

The female elf finally called out the name, then quickly left this table.

"Mm, an unguarded address, this really is a great progress on an encounter."

Xier said a sentence.

"Is that so, Broly?"

She asked.

"Mm."

Broly nodded repeatedly.

Regarding this, the Loli Goddess and Pallum girl beside them maintained smiling expressions throughout the whole process.

While this side was still using address changes in pure romance, they had already been attempting to enter the next phase with the boy.

The two girls on the tavern side, their encounter strength is truly not worth mentioning; their progress with Broly is completely far inferior to their own.

This thought gave both Hestia and Liliruca a sense of confident composure.

"Sorry, we're late."

Until the Hostess of Fertility's door was pushed open, the two Loki Familia girls dressed exquisitely and beautifully appeared together with their team.

【The true opponents have arrived~】

Watching the elf girl and Sword Princess girl walk over very naturally, Hestia and Liliruca glanced at each other, and that very meaning surfaced in both their eyes.

"Not late, we only just ordered dishes on this side too."

Broly hurriedly stood up, pulling out chairs for the arriving people.

"Thanks."

Whether it was Ais or Lefiya, both accepted this service very naturally.

Of course, there seemed to be an extra Amazoness girl in here.

Tiona was clearly not a capture target, but for some reason she had very skillfully mixed in.

And after the Loki Familia arrived here, Hephaestus and Tsun also came over.

"We're not late, right?"

The One-Eyed Craftsman asked curiously.

"No."

"Hestia..."

The Red-haired Goddess was slightly embarrassed, and greeted the Loli Goddess.

"Hephaestus, come sit on this side quickly."

Hestia was very enthusiastic, and this attitude made Hephaestus, who had agreed to join the Crystal Palace and become one of Broly's wives, breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ah, sorry, I'm late~"

The tavern's half-hanging door was pushed open again; while Loki Familia's Finn raised a wine cup to celebrate this Dungeon trip's great harvest, the white-haired boy ran in bringing a pretty human girl with mountain-blaze colored hair, and a white-haired Rabbit Person girl.

If not Bell, then who.

"So this is Miss Anna, my family's Bell has received much care from you."

"No, I'm the one who's been looked after by Mr. Bell."

The human girl with mountain-blossom-colored hair paused, a hint of apology appearing on her pretty face: "You're Broly-san, the one Mr. Bell often mentions who helps him, right? I'm very sorry, Bell is late because of me."

"There's no late or not late, it's just a dinner party. Even if Bell doesn't come, it actually doesn't matter."

Broly waved his hand, not minding Bell's lateness much at all.

"Tonight's meal is on me. Whatever you like to eat, don't be polite, just order away.

This time, I made a big profit in the Dungeon."

As Broly spoke, he handed the menu to Bell.

"Eh, Broly-san, how much did you earn?"

Bell, having taken the menu, inquired with some curiosity. Broly, in turn, held up one finger to him.

"One hundred million Valis?"

Seeing it, Bell subconsciously asked.

"You're missing a zero."

This trip to the Dungeon was equivalent to the yield of killing ten Goliaths. Even after splitting a portion, Broly still netted nine hundred million Valis. Calling it a big profit was no exaggeration.

The tavern was lively and bustling. Finn, who had just scraped together the next expedition fee, found his way to Broly's table while everyone was in high spirits from drink.

"Team Leader Kobrand, I wonder if you'd be interested in a joint expedition with our Loki Familia?"

Expeditions cause severe wear on weapons and equipment. The new species of monster appearing on Deep Floor 59 has corrosive blood. Without a veteran artisan team accompanying to repair equipment, even ordering a batch of weapons with the Indestructible Property would make for a very difficult fight.

It just so happened that the Hephaestus Familia Team Leader was also attending the banquet tonight. Though it wasn't for his banquet, Finn still came over to bring this up. As he spoke, Finn cast a slightly apologetic gaze at Broly.

After all, this counted as a disturbance.

"A joint expedition, huh? Recently I have equipment orders on hand, so I don't have that time."

"That I can wait. Wait until Team Leader Kobrand you have time, then we'll conduct the expedition. It just so happens our side also needs to rest for a while longer."

"Speaking of, isn't your Familia cooperating more with the Gulliver Brothers Familia? How come you came looking for me to go on an expedition?"

"Can't be helped. The Gulliver Brothers Familia's artisans are all older folks, and they're not good at combat either. The only powerful artisan in all of Orario who can go on an expedition together is you, the Lv. 5 One-Eyed Craftsman."

"Ahaha, Finn, you've got a good eye. Since you can wait, then I'm indeed interested."

"Expedition?"

Broly expressed doubt at their words.

"It means going to explore and capture unknown Dungeon Labyrinth floors."

Lefiya helped explain from the side.

"Is Mr. Broly interested too?"

Ais asked. Finn likewise looked over.

"Uh, yeah."

Broly hesitated a moment, then nodded.

Of course, he wasn't interested in exploring and capturing unknown Dungeon Labyrinth floors.

It was just...

Liliruca and Hestia's enthusiasm toward him made it somewhat hard to parry.

Meanwhile, on the 24th Floor Maze of the Dungeon, a Monster Abnormal Riot event was occurring.

"Doing this will attract the Guild's attention, right?"

The female monster Revis, who had crossed hands with Ais before, looked at the white-haired ghost directly occupying the 24th Floor Monster Food Store, frowned, and asked.

"Heh, afraid of what? If the Guild dares send people to investigate, just wipe them out. Rather than acting all timid and sneaking around transporting Treasure Beads in private, might as well cultivate a large army of Man-Eating Flowers here and push all the way up, overturning all of Orario!"

The white-haired ghost spoke his Development Push Plan with a face full of confidence, as if just by doing so Orario could really be overturned by him.

"There are still experts among Adventurers."

Revis gave a reminder.

"You failed. That's just because you fought alone. But I'm different. I've cultivated this many Man-Eating Flowers, and there's an Lv. 6 Flower King. I'll win."

Pausing a beat, the white-haired ghost continued: "Besides, He can't wait any longer. Talking about going out, seeing the blue sky outside, talking about, yearning for Aria's words. Revis, didn't you hear it?"
