"To celebrate your return from the expedition, let's go out for a big meal!" Hestia immediately suggested after helping everyone update their Blessing.
"I agree, but let's not eat out. Our Familia is quite numerous now, and going out together would be too high-profile. How about we buy some ingredients and cook ourselves?" Lin Che said as he put on his clothes.
"I'm fine with anything, but the cooking will be up to you!" Hestia immediately became a hands-off boss.
You're the Goddess of the Hearth, shouldn't cooking be your favorite thing?
Look at the Forging Goddess Hephaestus, she spends all day hammering iron in her Familia.
Next, everyone began to divide the work.
Lin Che took the newcomer Bell to the Guild to exchange the spoils of this expedition for money.
The rest went to North Street to buy ingredients.
Hestia stayed at home to look after the children, accompanying Sakura and Illya.
On the way to the Guild, Bell kept looking at Lin Che with eyes full of admiration.
He originally thought that the new Familia he joined was very weak and had no other members.
However, what he didn't expect was that the new Familia actually had so many members, and they even went on a deep level expedition.
The Leader is now an existence of Lv4, which is amazing!
The two quickly arrived at the Guild. Lin Che nodded to the staff, found a spacious place, and took out all the spoils of this expedition from "Unlimited Blade Works".
Immediately, materials and Demon Stones dropped by countless monsters piled up like mountains.
In addition to this, there were also three Floor Boss Demon Stones.
All the staff present were dumbfounded, and Bell, who was following behind Lin Che, was the same, completely stunned.
So many things, how much money is this?
After Lin Che finished taking out the things, he walked to the side and sat down to rest, leaving the remaining counting work to the Guild.
The Guild quickly dispatched more than a dozen people and started counting together.
It took more than two hours to finish counting.
The spoils of this expedition: Demon Stones sold for 223.87 million valis, monster drop materials sold for 185 million valis, and lower and deep level special materials sold for 533.6 million valis!
Rounding it up, the Guild directly gave 942.5 million valis!
Bell looked at the mountain of gold coins and was stunned again.
He had never seen so much money before!
Lin Che put the gold coins into his Reality Marble and didn't rush to leave the Guild, but went to the unit responsible for managing urban land.
"Sir, may I help you?" the counter lady asked.
This was a good-looking Beastman lady, wearing a black suit, and her serious expression made her look like a newcomer who had just joined the unit.
"I want to buy land!" Lin Che said to the lady.
"What is the purpose of the land you are purchasing?" the lady asked.
"Familia headquarters. I am the Leader of the Hestia Familia. Goddess Hestia has just descended not long ago and needs a place of her own to reside," Lin Che replied.
"Okay, please wait a moment!" The lady recorded it and then took out a map.
This is a map of the entire Orario. The red areas represent areas that already have owners.
The blue areas indicate that they can be bought and sold.
Lin Che looked at it carefully and finally chose the area around the church.
In fact, the church where Hestia currently resides was once the territory of the Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia. Members of both Familia often held weddings in that church.
Later, due to the turmoil of the Dark Period, it was destroyed and became a ruin.
So many years have passed, and that area has almost been forgotten.
Lin Che took the church as the center and included all the surrounding abandoned areas.
The lady was initially worried that Lin Che could not afford the price when she saw him drawing such a large area.
But after seeing the location, she was no longer worried.
Because that area has been abandoned for many years, the Guild has always wanted to deal with it, but no one was willing to buy it.
Over the years, the price has been lowered again and again, and the current price is almost like giving it away, but no one is still buying it.
There is no way, the Familia that can afford it are all large Familia, they have their own headquarters, and there is no need for another headquarters.
Although the price is cheap, it costs a lot of money to buy it back and rebuild it.
Some small Familia want to buy it, but they can afford to buy it but not afford to maintain it.
Such a large place, the annual management fees and land taxes paid to the Guild are also a huge expense.
For various reasons, this land has not been sold.
The lady quickly finished the registration and then started stamping.
Finally, she said to Lin Che, "Sir, you need to pay a total of eighty million valis!"
Lin Che was slightly stunned, thinking he had misheard.
"How much did you say?" he asked uncertainly.
"Eighty million!" the lady replied with a smile.
"So cheap?" Lin Che showed a surprised expression.
He originally thought it would cost hundreds of millions, but it didn't even cost one hundred million.
After paying the money, the Guild also gave Lin Che the stamped land certificate.
Lin Che opened it and saw that the land use right was only twenty years.
If special circumstances occur within these twenty years, such as the dissolution of the Familia, leaving Orario, the main Goddess being repatriated to the Heavenly Realm, etc., the land use right will return to the Guild again!
Lin Che put away the certificate and went back with Bell.
Throughout the entire process, Bell was in a daze.
There was no way, the impact was too great.
Returning to the church, the girls had also bought groceries and started to get busy.
Lin Che came to Hestia's side and handed her the certificate.
"What is this?" Hestia was full of questions.
"Open it and you'll know," Lin Che said mysteriously.
Hestia opened it with some anticipation, and when she saw the contents, the expression on her small face changed rapidly.
From astonishment to surprise, and finally, she threw herself into Lin Che's arms.
"A Che Jun, this is great, our Familia also has a headquarters!"
The others heard Hestia's voice and all looked over.
When they saw the land certificate, they also showed expressions of joy.
From this moment on, the area around the church truly belonged to the Hestia Familia.
From this moment on, they finally have a home!
"Except for 'Udaeus's Black Sword', all the spoils from this expedition have been sold, totaling 942.5 million valis. The land purchase cost eighty million valis, plus the more than two million valis we had left before, we now have a total of 865 million valis!" Lin Che reported the Familia's current assets.
"With so much money, it's enough for us to rebuild this place!" Hestia said excitedly.
"Well, let's find the Gobniu Familia to build it. Don't be afraid to spend money!" Lin Che nodded in agreement.
Since they have money, they should definitely have the best material enjoyment.
He was too lazy to manage these matters and left everything to Hestia.
Lin Che kept 65 million valis for himself, and then gave the remaining 800 million valis to her.
When Hestia saw so much money, her eyes lit up and she immediately pounced on it, burying herself in the gold coins.
Seeing this, everyone also smiled.
After rolling around in the gold coins for a while, Hestia suddenly remembered something and said to Lin Che, "By the way, A Che Jun, I have already told Hephaestus about you. She has agreed to teach you Forging, but she will be going to Zolligen, the Sword City of the Ragia Kingdom, recently, so you should first learn from her Familia Leader."
"Great, I can finally learn Forging!" Lin Che said with some surprise.
After his strength increased to Lv4, it became very difficult to continue improving.
Even if he went to the Underground City to fight monsters, he had to go to the lower and deep levels of the Underground City.
The monsters on the upper and middle levels are already difficult to have an effect on his current improvement.
But going to the lower and deep levels takes too much time.
Since he cannot level up in a short period of time, he should learn other things to improve his strength.
Forging is undoubtedly the best choice!
As long as he can learn Hephaestus's Divine Forging techniques, he can use "Unlimited Blade Works" to replicate Divine Weapons.
This is the key to the sublimation of "Unlimited Blade Works"!
Everyone worked together until night, and finally made a large table of delicious food.
Everyone sat around together, raising their glasses.
"May our Hestia Familia become stronger and stronger!"
"Cheers!"
The meal lasted until late at night. Except for Sakura and Illya, everyone was drunk.
Lin Che used Demon Power to eliminate the alcohol in his body, moved Hestia back to the bed in the basement, and sent the other girls to their resting places before leaving.
It was still the same inn, the same room.
After checking in, Lin Che lay on the bed and fell asleep.
During this expedition, he was really tired.
...
Slept until dawn.
The next day, under Hestia's arrangement, Lin Che came to the Hephaestus Familia.
He met the Familia Leader, Tsubaki Collbrande!
This is the most powerful blacksmith in Orario!
Black hair and red eyes, with an eye patch over her left eye.
As a hybrid of human and dwarf races, she was lucky enough to inherit all the advantages of both sides.
Inheriting the human physique gave her the height and figure that dwarves envy.
Inheriting the dwarf's Forging talent made her the most excellent blacksmith in Orario.
Of course, talent is only one aspect, the most important thing is that she is hardworking enough!
Lin Che looked at her a few times. Her appearance was good, and her dark skin combined with her bold clothing made her look more like an Amazon.
Tsubaki was also looking at Lin Che.
She had to say that she was very satisfied with Lin Che's clothing style and appearance.
His physique and build are also very good, he is a natural for hammering iron!
