Commission from Amid!

Chapter 22: Commission from Amid!

"How do you know that the amount of potion I buy will not exceed the price of 100,000 valis?" Shiro couldn't help but ask.

"New adventurers usually don't buy expensive items. As a new adventurer, your budget should be around 100,000 valis. With that amount, you can only buy ordinary products from our store. Anything you buy won't exceed 100,000 valis," Amid explained with a cheerful smile.

Shiro shook his head and decided to teach her a lesson.

Amid fell silent as she watched the other party pull out a long shopping list from a golden card.

Is this really something a novice adventurer needs to buy? Is it too late for her to regret now?

Since when did the Loki Familia become so generous, giving so much money to a rookie adventurer to buy potions?

And did I just catch a glimpse of an order for a high-quality elixir? Do adventurers who operate on the upper floors really need this kind of potion? This is something that can heal even serious injuries.

While Amid was still internally complaining, Shiro brought out the shopping list he had prepared before leaving Twilight Manor.

He also planned to bring back some of each potion when he returned to his original world, since the medical situation there was quite abstract.

If placed in the life pod, even severe injuries would be healed, so taking back these potions to see if a strengthened version could be made would be like a combination of science and magic.

"That's all."

He lined up the needed potions in front of Amid and smiled 'kindly' at her, causing the silver-haired girl's eyebrows to twitch.

In the end, Shiro didn't take advantage of the situation and only bought necessary potions for a price of 300,000 valis.

"By the way, please convey a message to Finn for me," Amid said to Shiro before he left.

"Please bring back some water from Cadmus' Spring on the 50th floor the next time the Loki Familia goes on an expedition."

As she spoke, Amid also took out several bottles of the highest quality elixir from under the cabinet.

"Apart from the commission payment, these bottles of elixir are your extra reward."

An expedition refers to an in-depth exploration of the dungeon by an exploration-type Familia, and top-tier exploration-type Familias like Loki Familia typically undertake such activities once or twice a month when nothing significant happens in Orario.

Many things need to be prepared for each expedition, including personnel allocation, weapon storage, potion quantities, and various items for different emergencies.

Successful expeditions not only bring prestige to the Familia's captain but also allow some Familia members to significantly increase their abilities values.

Although Finn hasn't shown any intention of embarking on an expedition recently, it shouldn't be long before he does.

Shiro has been with the Loki Familia for about a month now.

He guessed the expedition is about to start, and he needs to quickly upgrade to Lv2 to join it.

Shiro stored all the potions in his Gift card and made a joke before leaving.

"I'll convey the message. I hope to see such discounts next time too."

Amid recalled her overconfident appearance before, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

After purchasing the potions, Shiro decided to go find Loki.

Upon arriving in her room, Shiro found the red-haired goddess drinking.

"Huh? How come you are here again? Just to make it clear, I am not updating your status today! Not even for a partner!"

Since establishing cooperation, Shiro has been visiting her daily under the guise of being a partner to update his status.

In the Loki Familia, those wishing to update their status usually need to book an appointment.

Only Shiro has the privilege to bother Loki like this every day.

"I'm not here to update my status today."

Shiro's words slightly relieved Loki, as seeing him usually meant she had to prick her finger with a needle.

It's okay once in a while, after all, the number of statuses she needs to update daily isn't much.

But who can stand it if he comes every day?

"I'm planning to level up."

Hearing this, Loki slowly sipped her drink.

She knew about this last time she updated his status, so why make a special point of telling her now?

"My target is Monster Rex on the 17th floor, Goliath."

Pfft—

The drink Loki had just taken a sip of sprayed out of her mouth.

"Cough, cough, seriously? You're challenging Goliath straight away? I thought you would go for a Lv3 monster or something."

For Shiro, a Lv3 monster would indeed allow him to accumulate enough high-quality excelia and achieve great feats; even Lv2 monsters would suffice.

"There might not be enough time," Shiro simply answered her.

While Lv2 and Lv3 monsters could allow Shiro to rank up, accumulating the necessary high-quality excelia would take time.

Since it's unclear how long he has before the expedition starts, he needs to accumulate strength as quickly as possible.

"I need a bodyguard."

This was Shiro's purpose in coming to Loki.

What is the advantage of Loki Familia compared to other families?

It's nothing more than having strong combatants and the ability to explore deeper floors.

So, it makes complete sense to find a Lv5 to oversee Shiro's challenge against the Goliath to prevent any accident.

Being able to level up more safely and conveniently is the greatest benefit Loki Familia can offer him.

Or rather, if Shiro did not have sufficient combat capability, he would not choose to level up by challenging a Lv4 Monster Rex, as killing a few Lv3 monsters would probably give him enough high-quality excelia to rank up.

"Ho, so that's your plan, kiddo. No problem, I will ask Ais to look after you," Loki said, shaking the wine bottle in her hand.

Actually, Bete would be the best for this task, considering the Lv6s in their Familia need to deal with other matters.

Among the Lv5s, Tiona and Tione are berserker types.

Bete has the highest agility, but considering the werewolf's personality, he's not suitable for this task.

Moreover, Ais has become more and more eager to team up with Shiro after seeing his skills.

Apart from Loki and himself, Ais is probably the one who most wants Shiro to grow stronger quickly.

"I understand."

Ais, who was called to Loki's room, quickly agreed to the task.

From her pupils, Shiro could also see a hint of 'expectation,' the last time he saw such a look was when Ais learned about his skills.

Goliath spawns every two weeks, and there is always someone designated to subdue it.

Therefore, anyone wanting to target it must confront it on its spawn day.

Shiro only has one day left to prepare, and Ais has already prepared for the dungeon exploration.

There is only one last thing left to confirm here.

"Loki, can the power of fate be used inside the dungeon?"

Since arriving in this world, Shiro has not used this ability because, compared to other skills, this ability is too close to the authority of gods.

Loki has told him from the first day to try not to use it to avoid possible detection from other gods.

However, Shiro is not fully confident that he can defeat Goliath smoothly, so he needs to confirm the extent of abilities he can use.

But Loki shook her head.

"I don't know. Your ability is too close to the authority of gods – it's akin to exercising divine rights with a mortal body. When gods enter the dungeon, even a hint of their divine presence can cause anomalies. Something similar to divine power may bring out something even more terrible. Especially..."

Loki's expression became serious.

"You'd better not use that world-crossing gate inside the dungeon. The mere presence of gods can cause anomalies there; your gate, which transcends gods, might cause catastrophic trouble just by being brought out. This could lead the dungeon to exert all its efforts to create the strongest monster in history to eliminate the threat."

The dungeon is alive, and once Shiro uses his inter-dimensional gate in the dungeon, he might be able to escape alone, but the moment he takes out the gate, almost all adventurers in the dungeon would likely be doomed.
