After crossing over, the plug-in is only your own chat group

Hestia repeated what Takagi Akira had just said with some disbelief.

"You learned defensive magic?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, this is my defensive magic."

Gao Muming nodded in agreement and raised his hand. An almost transparent barrier appeared on Gao Muming's palm.

Seeing Gao Muming nod, Hestia showed a slight smile on her face. After seeing the barrier magic in Gao Muming's hand, her eyes lit up and she suddenly hugged Gao Muming.

"I heard that it's very difficult to learn magic without grace. I really found a treasure."

As Hestia spoke, she remembered the information her friend had told her after she descended to the mortal world. Her face became very serious and she looked at Gao Muming and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Although your magic saved your life this time, Gao Muming, I still hope that you won't rely too much on your protective magic."

Just as Takagi Akira showed a slightly puzzled look, Hestia explained the reason for her request.

"I remember my god friend said that the magic that children in the lower world learn by themselves is very weak and cannot be compared with the magic in the grace system."

"The new effects of your skills do not increase the ability of magic defense. Perhaps your defensive magic is very useful when you fight against the weak monsters in the upper level."

"But as you explore deeper into the dungeon, the power of the monsters will be greatly enhanced, and your magic will be stretched to its limits. Over-reliance on magic will only lead to your death due to carelessness in the depths of the dungeon."

After hearing Hestia's explanation, Takagi Akira nodded in Hestia's satisfied eyes.

"I understand, Goddess Hestia. Please rest assured that I will be fully prepared every time I go to the dungeon in the future."

Just as the two finished their conversation and were about to leave the basement to find Bell weeding in the fields, Takagi Akira stopped and called out to Hestia.

"By the way, Goddess Hestia, I have a request."

Hestia stopped and looked at Gao Muming, who had a serious expression, and couldn't help but feel curious.

"What do you want?"

"Goddess Hestia, I will cooperate with the captain to explore the dungeon maze. Please do not tell Captain Bell my true situation. Please make my ability value weaker than Bell's."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Hestia frowned her beautiful eyebrows, not quite understanding the reason why Gao Muming said that.

"Ability values ​​are indeed very confidential to adventurers. Even if we don't tell Bell, the leader of Hestia's family, we shouldn't make up lies to him."

"Like you said, I'm going to explore the dungeon with Bell next. If we conceal our strength as a family member who has entrusted our lives to each other, there will be accidents due to lack of communication when we encounter an emergency in the dungeon, right?"

Hearing Hestia's accusatory words, Takagi Akira gave a slight wry smile.

"Goddess Hestia, you also know Captain Bell's motivation for exploring the dungeon, right?"

Recalling Bell's frequent words, "I wanted to become an adventurer just to meet beautiful girls," Hestia's eyes twitched slightly, and she nodded reluctantly.

Without paying particular attention to Hestia's reaction, Takagi Akira continued speaking.

"Captain Bell is a young man who is obsessed with encountering beautiful girls in the dungeon. In just one week after receiving the favor, he has already ignored the advice of the dungeon strategy consultant several times and ventured down to the third floor."

"If Bell knew my current strength, when I teamed up with him, in order to go deeper and encounter beautiful girls, Bell would definitely be very reckless and explore deeper."

"When I explored the dungeon with him, I first let him think that my strength was relatively low, and then used the excuse that the clan leader needed to protect the safety of the clan members. This can greatly reduce the possibility of Bell taking excessive risks in the dungeon."

"More importantly, when we encounter unmanageable dangers while exploring the dungeon together, I can serve as the last resort to protect Bell's safety."

After hearing Takagi Akira's explanation and knowing that this was a decision made for Bell's safety, Hestia lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment, then nodded to Takagi Akira.

"I agree to your request."

After coming out of the basement, the three of them took care of the vegetable garden together. Then Gao Muming was carried by Hestia to the sofa in the basement to start a new day of text teaching.

Due to the multiple superposition of souls, Gao Muming's learning talent has now increased dramatically, and he suddenly becomes adept at learning those obscure and difficult words.

Hestia was indeed curious about Gao Muming's sudden improvement in learning efficiency. If she was not a god and could easily see through that Gao Muming was not lying or pretending to know, Hestia would have suspected that Gao Muming had been replaced by someone without anyone noticing.

"Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Hestia reached out and touched Gao Muming's forehead with a strange look on her face.

"How come your learning efficiency has suddenly improved so much? The effect of your skill hasn't improved anything related to learning words."

Gao Muming could only touch the back of his head and laugh.

"Maybe it's because I experienced life and death, and exploded in a desperate situation, which made me suddenly become smarter."

"I have indeed heard from other gods that there are examples of children in their clans who suddenly attain enlightenment after experiencing life and death."

After hearing Gao Muming's explanation, Hestia nodded. After finishing today's text teaching, Hestia looked at Gao Muming's departing back and sighed in her heart.

"Unlike us gods who remain unchanged, the children of the underworld are prone to change."

When Hestia thought of the reason for Takagi Akira's change, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"My own children are trapped in desperate situations where I can't see them. I can't help them except waiting at home for them to overcome the ordeal of life and death and come back safely. I am really a powerless god."

Hestia slowly lowered herself down, buried her face in her arms and curled up into a ball on the sofa.

“Is there anything I can do for my children?”

Not knowing what Hestia was thinking behind him, Gao Muming left the basement and returned to the somewhat dilapidated church.

In the corner of the church, Gao Muming was lying in a small space he had separated with several cabinets, thinking about what had happened during the day.

"According to the speculation of the chat group members, I just awakened the golden finger and leaked my own aura when I joined the chat group, causing the dungeon to react to me and give birth to the black goblin to kill me."

“But when I think about it carefully, I should be thankful that the chat group was bound to me after I entered the dungeon. With the cover of the dungeon’s aura, I didn’t cause the gods to spy on me because of the leakage of my own aura.”

"Think about it carefully. In the original story, if Bell had not been favored by Freya, the goddess of the Freya clan who has the strongest combat power in Orario and wanted to play pure love on a whim, Bell would have been snatched away from Hestia by gods from other clans."

"If my true situation were to be exposed to the gods immediately, I'm sure that a large number of those gods who are too idle would be interested in me, given my uniqueness."

"If that happens, with my small body and the newly formed Hestia family, we will not be able to stop the gods from spying on us. I will most likely become a 'prize' to be fought over."

When he thought of that situation, Gao Muming felt a chill.

"Having said that, without an accurate control group, I don't know exactly what my current level of strength is."

"After receiving so much favor from the chat group, my physical fitness should be comparable to that of a LV2 adventurer, right?"

As Gao Muming thought about this, he gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, the three of them got up early, had breakfast together, and then Gao Muming followed Bell to the guild.

As soon as the two entered the door, Aina, who had been waiting there, waved to Gao Muming and Bell from the reception chair nearby.

"Bell-kun, Takagi Akira, come over here."

Gao Muming and the other man heard the sound and walked over.

"sit down."

Aina opened the folder she carried with her, took out a few documents from it and placed them in front of Gao Muming and Bell.

"Here are the documents you need to read and fill out. Please check and sign if everything is ok."

Looking at the documents placed in front of him, Gao Muming showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"I'm sorry, Miss Aina, I don't know many words, and I don't quite understand these documents. Could you explain the contents of the documents to me?"

"Ugh?"

Aina showed a somewhat surprised expression, and blurted out what she was thinking.

"I don't think your previous behavior and actions seem to indicate that you are uneducated. How could you be illiterate?"

After realizing that she had said something rude, Aina quickly apologized to Gao Muming.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm in what I said just now."

Gao Muming waved his hand without much concern.

"It's okay. What you said just now was just an unintentional mistake. The reason why I can't read is just that the common characters here are different from the ones I learned in my hometown."

After hearing what Takagi Akira said, a curious look appeared on Aina's face.

"Does your hometown use a different script than ours?"

"Yes."

As Gao Muming spoke, he picked up a pen from the table and wrote a sentence in Chinese characters on a piece of paper.

"Adventurers must not take risks."

Aina looked at the strange words written by Gao Muming with some curiosity.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Ms. Aina, you always say 'Adventurers should not take risks'."

"That's it."

Aina nodded, then adjusted her seat and came to Gao Muming's side, pointing to the clauses on the document and explaining the contents of the document to Gao Muming one by one.

"The guild can provide you with some sets for novice adventurers at a low interest rate, just like what Bell-kun has, including basic weapons and armor and some first aid potions."

Aina said as she looked at the sword on Takagi Akira's waist.

"But in your case, you probably won't be able to use your weapons."

"No, what I need is potions for first aid for weapons and a backpack. I don't need any protective gear."

Hearing what Gao Muming said, Bell on the side immediately spoke up.

"How can you not have armor? Are you worried too much about Farley? Don't worry about Farley. The two of us can work hard together to explore the dungeon and pay off our debts."

Aina on the side also followed Bell's words to persuade Gao Muming.

"That's right. In a dungeon, armor can save an adventurer's life. Don't put your own safety at risk just to save a little magic power."

Gao Muming looked at the somewhat excited Bell and comforted him softly.

"At this stage, our clan is just starting out. Including you as the leader, there are only two of us. You also know that my skills are not helpful in battle, so for a short period of time I will play the role of a supporter. It doesn't matter whether I have protective gear or not with your protection."

"Master, my safety in the dungeon is now in your hands."

Takagi Akira said as he patted Bell's shoulder.

After hearing what Gao Muming said, Bell's rabbit eyes were full of seriousness and he nodded heavily.

"Leave your safety to me."

Watching the interaction between Gao Muming and Bell, Aina smiled and nodded, then gave Bell instructions again.

"I see, Bell, if you want to protect Takagi Akira in the future, you can't be as reckless as before and explore the next level."

While Bell was scratching his head in embarrassment, Aina looked at Takagi Akira.

"Takagi Akira, remember to help me supervise Bell and tell him not to always think about exploring deeper into the dungeon. Now, come with me to the guild's warehouse to collect the supplies prepared for the new adventurers."

Bell, who was left alone, sat on the chair awkwardly and waited for a while. Then Gao Muming came out with a rifle in his hand and a backpack on his back.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Captain Bell. I have collected all the items. We can now prepare to go down to the dungeon."

"Okay, let's go. Miss Aegina, we'll leave first."

Bell said as he nodded to Eina who came out behind Takagi Akira.

Takagi Akiya turned around and thanked Aina.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Aina."

Seeing Gao Muming and Bell thanking her so solemnly, Aina, who was used to the rough behavior of adventurers, didn't know how to react for a moment, and waved her hands with a slightly hot face.

"Nothing, no need to thank me specifically. I haven't done anything worthy of your thanks. This is all my duty as a guild member and your dungeon strategy consultant."

At Aina's reaction, Takagi Akira shook his head.

"No, Miss Aegina, you deserve our gratitude for what you have done for us."

"I have observed that, probably because they have seen too many life and death situations, the other strategy consultants in the guild are more perfunctory and are not as responsible as you, Miss Aina, to seriously consider us adventurers."
