Chapter 18 - Encounter

Understanding the Magic Medicine Field's function, Aston entered the next floor with a good mood.

Now is around one o'clock at noon. There is still time to continue upgrading and cannot be wasted.

"Ding!! Minotaur was killed, get 60 Experience Points!!!"

"Ding!! Pterosaur was killed, get 60 Experience Points!!!"

"Ding!! Saber-toothed tiger was killed, get 60 Experience Points!!!"

"Ding!!..."

As a new floor, the Experience Points increased again. In addition, Aston also encountered monsters other than Minotaurs, Pterosaurs and Saber-Toothed Tigers.

Level 12 Aston needs 3000 Experience Points to upgrade, which means he needs to kill 500 monsters on the 17th Floor.

I don't know if I can collect the Experience Points required for this level in the next four hours.

The only time left for Aston was these four hours. The remaining hour was the time Aston needed to return home. Leaving around five, he would arrive to the city at six.

This is because Aston obtained Divine Speed. Otherwise, even with the wind magic of Lightness, Aston would have needed at least two hours and a half to get back.

After all, it took Aston an hour to get to the Tenth Floor, not to mention that Aston has reached the 17th Floor now.

However, Aston didn't expect his upgrade time would be much earlier.

Fortunately, he encountered two Monster Rex in a row today.

First one, a Minotaur, more than 40 of them appeared at once. The second one was a Pterosaurs, appearing more than 30 of them. This was completely beyond the normal situation, and it was a huge harvest.

The maximum number of normal monsters appearing is around 20. This is common sense gained by many adventurers since the birth of Orario.

And if the number exceeds 25, it will be a Monster Rex.

Among the solo Second-Class Adventures, only Aston can withstand the Monster Rex.

However, this also greatly shortened Aston's Upgrade Time.

Aston completed the target of 500 monsters in three and a half hours.

"Ding!! The Experience Bar is full. Host level has been improved. Host level is 13!!!"

"Ding!! Congratulations to the Host. Tasks Function has been enabled!!!"

Listening to the System prompts, Aston was slightly speechless.

"Enabling a function should be as the previous Team Function. It should be activated at a watershed like level 10."

"Why did it suddenly turn on at level 13?" The speechless Aston complained in his heart.

However, complaints are complaints, and Aston also began to study this newly opened function.

Task Function: Trigger a task randomly. You will be rewarded after completing it.

Very concise and clear introduction.

Aston understood the function immediately.

It may be triggered at any time, and once the task is triggered, Aston will receive System Rewards after completing it.

This is a very normal game function.

Aston is quite looking forward to this Task Function.

Of course, he expected the Task Function would trigger some reliable tasks, rather than some random ones.

When I was playing games in my previous life, many of the planners were erroneous, and many erratic tasks were designed, which made the game feel very inexperienced.

I don't know if this feature will also be captured by Status.

Aston, muttering in his heart, picked up all the magic stones on the ground.

Speaking of which, Aston has always suspected that the System's Functions were blessed and improved by Falna to make the various rewards he received more reasonable. After all, the skills all appeared in Status. 

However, Aston has no evidence for this speculation.

Standing up, Aston glanced at the dark corridor in the distance and began to think.

Do you want to go see if Goliath has been wiped out?

As soon as this thought came up, Aston shook his head and threw it away.

Forget it, no more trouble, go back first.

However, he stopped and turned around.

Because Aston heard footsteps.

It came from behind, deep in the corridor he was looking at just now.

This kind of movement made Aston unconsciously stop and look over.

"Is it such a coincidence?" Aston thought blankly as he looked at the people in front of him.

Dressed freshly, there is a pair of Amazon sisters, a small human holding a spear, a werewolf with his hands in his pockets, a green-haired elf wearing a green coat, holding an exquisite wand, and a porcelain doll with long golden hair.

A very recognizable group of people.

The First-Class Adventurer group of the Loki Familia.

The two Amazon sisters are Jormungand Tione and Crusher Tiona, Brave Finn, Gray Wolf Bete, Nine Hell Riveria, and Sword Princess Ais.

When Aston looked at these people, they also noticed Aston's presence.

After all, there is only such a passage here. Since both parties are on the same passage, it is naturally easy to find them.

"What a beautiful little brother!!!" After seeing Aston, the first person from the Loki Familia group to speak was, without any suspense, Tiona, an Amazon with a lively personality. When this guy saw Aston, her eyes lit up, shining. 

"Indeed, this appearance is almost the same as that of Ais and can rival the gods." After seeing Aston's appearance, her sister Tione, who was beside her, admitted this.

"Tch, no matter how outstanding his appearance is, he is still a weakling." Bete said with his hands on his pockets in a bad tone.

However, everyone ignored this guy, this guy's character was like this.

"Indeed, this appearance can be compared with that of the gods." Finn, as the leader of the group, nodded in agreement and did not hesitate to praise him.

Ais didn't react at all, her expression remained unchanged, like a porcelain doll.

However, Riveria showed an unexpected expression at this time.

"Half-elf?"

"Ah, let's go."

"I still want to know this little brother…" As soon as Riveria finished speaking, Tiona's voice sounded again, full of regret.
