The Strongest Mercenary of Naruto

Chapter 517 Upgrade
"He Yan, welcome back."

In the evening, Uchiha and Hiko's teammates parted ways. After returning to the apartment, Hestia, who had already got off work, let out a soft cry, and rushed over as usual, checking Uchiha and Hiko's body up and down.

Uchiha Kazuhiko had a helpless expression on his face, and after Hestia's inspection was completed, he put her back on the ground, and said with a smile: "Goddess Hestia, not only am I not injured today, but I have also upgraded."

"It's good that it's not injured, and it's upgraded? Upgrade?!"

Hestia didn't care at first, but when she realized what Kazuhiko Uchiha said, she immediately widened her eyes and showed a look like [Did I hear wrong? 】 expression.

Uchiha Kazuhiko had expected Hestia's reaction long ago, and confirmed with a smile: "Yes, it was upgraded, just an hour and a half ago."

"Really or not, hurry up, let me update you."

Hestia was still a little unbelievable, after all, the upgrade speed was too abnormal, so she hurriedly dragged Kazuhiko Uchiha to the bedroom, ready to confirm with her own eyes whether he had really upgraded to LV.2.

After going through the same steps as before, the values ​​behind Kazuhiko Uchiha began to undergo new changes.

------

Due to the increase in level, Uchiha Kazuhiko's five basic abilities will all be reset to zero, and two new magic skills can be obtained.

Although the basic ability returns to zero after the upgrade, the basic ability of the previous level does not disappear, but is reserved as a hidden ability, that is, it is not displayed on the surface, but it actually exists.

New skills obtained after leveling up appear randomly, such as Hunter, Blacksmithing, Poison Resistance, Magic, Healing, Mystery, and more.

The skills that appear are related to the situation that the adventurer encountered before the upgrade. For example, before the upgrade, he encountered a lot of poisonous plants or monsters that released poisonous substances. During the upgrade, poison-resistant skills may appear.

Uchiha Kazuhiko encountered a young dragon before upgrading, so he got a powerful fire attack magic [Dragon Flame], and has been able to temporarily transform the skin into a dragon scale defensive skill [Dragon Transformation].

"It's really upgraded to LV.2, and it only took less than half a year."

Hestia is one of the few people who knows Kazuhiko Uchiha's talent. Although she is sure that Kazuhiko Uchiha will become a strong person in her heart, such a fast upgrade speed still brings her an unspeakable shock.

If you want to upgrade your level, you have to get enough [Alien (Experience Points)], but Albert does not come from killing monsters.

The accumulation of great achievements is related to the strength of the opponent and the difficulty of the situation. The stronger the opponent defeated or the greater the difficulty overcome, the more great achievements can be accumulated. At the same time, the great achievements will be distributed in the team according to certain rules .

Uchiha Kazuhiko was able to gain enough experience to upgrade so quickly. In addition to killing monsters by leapfrogging frequently, he also benefited from his performance in every battle, plus the double talent of [Ascetic's Blessing] , together led him to complete the first upgrade in half a year.

"He Yan, congratulations on reaching Lv.2, you really worked hard."

Hestia looked at Kazuhiko Uchiha tenderly, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart. This family member of hers actually broke the fastest record created by Ais.

Uchiha Kazuhiko gently hugged Hestia, and said in her ear: "Goddess Hestia, from now on you can proudly announce to other goddesses that although you have a large number of dependents, you have Olalie's most Quick promotion."

But Hestia shook her head and refused: "Heyan, it's best not to publicize the matter of level promotion, otherwise some troublesome things may happen. If possible, try to hide it for half a year."

Uchiha Kazuhiko's level promotion will be exposed sooner or later, but even so, she still hopes that this matter can be concealed for as long as possible, so as to prevent Uchiha Kazuhiko from being coveted by other main gods.

Imagining Uchiha Kazuhiko being haunted by other main gods, Hestia suddenly looked distressed. Although she believed that Uchiha Kazuhiko would not leave her, it was easy to bring trouble and crisis to Uchiha Kazuhiko.

"Okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone other than my teammates." Uchiha Kazuhiko also knew this, and she was not a person who likes to show off, so she did not disappoint Hestia's kindness and agreed to conceal the news.

"Heyan, I won't object to you entering dangerous floors to explore in the future, but there is only one sentence, I hope you can keep it in your heart at all times - no matter what the reason is, it is meaningless if you die."

Hestia stared at Kazuhiko Uchiha like this, conveying her feelings unabashedly, telling him that being able to come back alive is the most important thing.

After listening to Hestia's words, Uchiha Kazuhiko nodded with a serious expression, expressing that he had kept her words in his heart.

"Heyan, let's go to [The Mistress of Abundance]. Today I'm here to treat you and have a big meal."

Hestia, who has always been frugal, made an exception today and ordered several expensive delicacies to celebrate Kazuhiko Uchiha's upgrade.

The next day, explore as usual.

The improvement of the level led to great changes in Uchiha Kazuhiko's strength, and his teammates quickly discovered the abnormality.

Under their repeated inquiries, Uchiha Kazuhiko told them the news of his upgrade, which also made them feel extremely shocked.

However, his teammates are all reliable companions, and at the request of Uchiha Kazuhiko, they agreed to help him conceal the news.

Now that the strength has reached LV.2, Kazuhiko Uchiha is also qualified to enter the middle area to explore, so after making necessary preparations, he led the team into the No.13 layer.
