The Strongest Mercenary of Naruto

Chapter 499 Hestia's Small Goal
It has to be said that with supporters who are familiar with the dungeon routes, the speed of exploration has indeed increased a lot.

After eliminating the killer ant colony, Uchiha Kazuhiko and Lonit continued to move forward. Under the guidance of Lonit, they used a vertical hole in the seventh floor to quickly enter the area of ​​the eighth floor.

The so-called vertical cave is a cave that directly connects the upper floor and the lower floor. If a normal entrance is equivalent to a staircase that needs to be walked one step at a time, then the vertical cave is equivalent to an elevator that goes straight up and down.

However, although the vertical point is convenient, it is dangerous, because the floors connected by the vertical point are uncertain. It may be connected to the next floor adjacent to this floor, or it may be connected to a floor deeper below. .

Think about it, a LV.1 rookie adventurer enters the lower layer or even the deep layer through the vertical hole, and then is surrounded by a group of LV.4 and LV.5 monsters, the picture is simply beautiful Dare to read.

Of course, the vertical acupoints used by Uchiha Kazuhiko are safe vertical acupoints that have been explored by daring adventurers with high skills, otherwise even Uchiha Kazuhiko would not dare to use this method to save time.

After entering the eighth floor, Uchiha Kazuhiko found that the scenery and terrain here are very different from the previous floors.

First, the number of caves has increased and they have become wider.The roads connecting the caves are very short. At the same time, the ceiling height, which was only three to four meters at most, has also increased to nearly ten meters.

The wood-colored walls are covered with moss, and the ground has become a grassland with short grass. The phosphorescence like the sun's rays descends from the special ore above the cave, which inevitably makes people fall into the illusion of walking in the wilderness.

Although there are no new types of monsters, they have all the species that have appeared so far, and they appear in a stronger state.

However, although the monsters have become stronger, the fighting style has not changed. As long as the opponent's strength is not misjudged, they can fight in the same way as before. Therefore, in general, the eighth floor should be said to be an easier floor to attack.

There are more monsters here, and his physical fitness is much stronger than that of Uchiha Kazuhiko. In addition, he has to be distracted to protect the weak Lonit, which makes Uchiha Kazuhiko experience the pressure brought by the dungeon for the first time.

After killing several goblins with enhanced strength again, Uchiha Kazuhiko wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Lonit, who was cleaning the battlefield: "Lonit, let's explore here today, there is no time." It's early, we're heading back now."

"Okay, Mr. Kazuhiko, I'll take care of it right away." Lonit, as a supporter, naturally obeyed Uchiha Kazuhiko's command, and immediately accelerated the speed of picking up the spoils.

After Lonit collected all the fallen magic stones and materials, Uchiha Kazuhiko asked Lonit to guide him, and returned to the ground with other adventurers returning from the expedition through the regular route.

The two returned to the ground, Uchiha Kazuhiko directly exchanged today's harvest at the money exchange in the [Tower of Babel], and after giving him the three parts that belonged to Lonit, parted from the joyful Lonit, and returned to himself and himself alone. Hestia's rented apartment.

At this time, Hestia hadn't finished his work, so Kazuhiko Uchiha took out some books and adventure materials borrowed from the guild headquarters, and while learning more knowledge, he waited for Hestia's return.

"He Yan, I'm back!"

Before night fell, Hestia ran back to the apartment in a hurry, threw the bag in her hand on the table, and rushed towards Kazuhiko Uchiha.

"Welcome back, Goddess Hestia."

Uchiha Kazuhiko put down the book in his hand, got up to catch Hestia's body that was flying over, and after a circle of inertia, he put Hestia on the seat he was just sitting on.

"Hey, hey, Kazuhiko, look what this is!"

Hestia picked up the bag that had just been thrown on the table, opened it in two or three strokes, and then showed Uchiha Kazuhiko the fried potato balls inside that exuded a tempting aroma.

"It smells so good," Uchiha Kazuhiko took a breath, and the aroma of fried potato balls was immediately inhaled into his lungs, and then said to the greedy Hestia: "Goddess Hestia, if you like to eat them If so, I will buy it for you every day."

"No, I want to save money and buy an apartment in the future, which will be the headquarters of [Hestia Familia]."

After accepting Uchiha Kazuhiko as the No. 1 family member, Hestia, who used to spend a lot of money, has become careful and careful, and wants to provide a better living environment for the family members through her own efforts.

Hestia is a goddess, unable to enter the dungeon, and has no skills to show off, so she can only find simple but low-paying jobs such as shopping guide and salesperson.

After deducting daily necessities, you can only save dozens of Wallis every day. It may take hundreds of years before you want to buy an apartment. Fortunately, Hestia is a goddess with an infinite lifespan. There is also an opportunity to accomplish this goal.

"Goddess Hestia, leave the affairs of the family headquarters to me. When I become stronger, I will be able to enter deeper floors to explore. At that time, I will have a lot of income every day. It will not take long before I can save Funds to buy headquarters."

"So in the future, the money you earn from working will be your own pocket money, and you can buy whatever you want."

Kazuhiko Uchiha took the initiative to take on this task. After all, only with a real headquarters can it be more convenient to recruit newcomers, thereby expanding the strength of [Hestia Familia].

"Although I don't have much ability, I also want to do my best for the family."

Hestia lowered her head in frustration, and when Uchiha Kazuhiko was about to comfort her, she shook her head, recovered on her own, and said excitedly, "Stop talking about it, Kazuhiko, let's try it."

Hestia took out a potato ball with each hand, handed the potato ball in her right hand to Kazuhiko Uchiha, and explained proudly: "Today's potato balls, but the boss saw that I was serious about my work, so he gave me an extra reward." .”

"Really? Then I have to taste it." Uchiha Kazuhiko took over the moderately warm fried potato balls and enjoyed this delicious snack with Hestia.

In the evening, Hestia updated Kazuhiko Uchiha's status again, and the proficiency of the five basic abilities has improved by dozens of points, even more than that of ordinary adventurers in a week.

The next morning, Kazuhiko Uchiha continued to explore the dungeon, while Hestia, who was supposed to go to work, put on a brand new dress and left the apartment with a huge lunch box.
