In the early morning, the slums outside Orario.
In the dilapidated church, a dozen or so plainly dressed adult men walked around from time to time. They were either skilled cement workers, or carpentry experts, or quite famous architectural planners nearby, and the gods who were originally used to worship At the moment, the stage is filled with various building materials.
Standing by the entrance of the basement, looking at the busy figures of these workers, Chen Mo said hello: "Everyone, stop busy, come and drink some water?"
"Mr. Chen, we are not thirsty, just put the water there!"
The oldest and most powerful man with a square face among all the workers present put down the work he was doing, smiled and agreed while wiping his sweat, and then continued to work hard.
"Okay, then go on, I'll give you more money when the construction period is over."
"Ooooh!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen!"
"Just look at it!"
Hearing that Chen Mo wanted to increase the money, these workers were excited and worked much faster.
Tsk tsk, it's not a waste of money...
Smiling and watching the busy workers for a while, Chen Mo left the church and walked towards the inner city.
Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye since he had just transmigrated into this world.
Because of the supporter Lily, in the past half month, all the magic stones Chen Mo got from spawning monsters have been collected. A group of workers came to help Hestia renovate the church.
Originally, according to Chen Mo's intention, he planned to buy a real estate directly next to the Tower of Babel, but Hestia was very resistant to this, and refused to move no matter what, and I don't know if it was out of affection the reason...
However, considering that the slums also have the benefits of the slums, at least living here is much cleaner than living in a family settlement, so Chen Mo did not overly disobey Hestia's wishes. After several proposals to move were rejected, he simply Instead of thinking about buying a new house, I came up with the idea of this church.
If we renovate the dilapidated church, expand the narrow basement, customize a few statues of Hestia, and light a few glazed lamps that stay on all night...
Surprisingly very interesting!
So after having a rough plan, Chen Mo was not stingy with money, and spread out a lot of mana, and soon recruited a large group of skilled masons. After a month, Chen Mo has already spent more than 3.4 million fares, which is much more expensive than buying a new house, and after the later stage of the project, a lot of money will be needed for decoration, that is, With Chen Mo's monster spawning speed, if it were an adventurer team from another family, they might not be able to support such crazy squandering even without sleep.
With the injection of such a huge amount of money, the enthusiasm of the workers is unprecedentedly high. In the words of some of them, after completing this vote, they will no longer have to take on jobs for the next ten years, so they all tried their best. It's quite a feeling that artists are trying their best to paint the most perfect works in their life before they die.
Seeing how these workers are going all out, Chen Mo is of course happy to see the result, and he feels a little uncomfortable because of the huge daily expenditure of Farley, and his mood is much better.
At least it's worth the ticket price, isn't it?
Returning to the inner city of Olari from the slums, Chen Mo didn't immediately enter the underground city, but detoured to a hotel named Feng Rao's Mistress.
Because of the renovation of the church, Hestia, Bell, and Lily, who had just joined the Hestia family half a month ago, all moved out temporarily, and they could not go back until the church was renovated.
However, as a funder and also the oldest eldest brother in the family, Chen Mo did not move to the tavern with them, but ate and lived with the workers to monitor whether their work was lax.
After all, after paying so much fare, Chen Mo would not be able to sleep if he didn't watch them work with his own eyes.
A black overcoat flashed across the street in the early morning, and Chen Mo quickly came to the door of Feng Rao's hostess, and then stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.
In the tavern, Bell, the white-haired kid, was sitting at the same table with Lily, who had lifted her hood and revealed her brown hair, talking and laughing while eating breakfast.
Thanks to Chen Mo, the two guys, Bell and Lily, who have been living in poverty for a long time, can now eat every meal until they can't eat any more, and they really did this...
"Okay, it's enough to eat enough, and I have to go to the dungeon later, so don't eat too much."
Sitting down opposite the two, Chen Mo took a plate of steaming mutton stewed noodles and asked while eating, "Where is Lord Shangshen?"
"Master Shangshen is sleeping, and he probably won't wake up in a while."
Putting down the fork, Lily asked curiously: "Master Chen Mo is also spawning monsters on the fifth floor today?"
Monster spawning, this is a vocabulary she recently learned from Chen Mo. It is used to describe the kind of behavior that killing monsters is like chopping melons and vegetables.
And so far, she has seen only Chen Mo who is worthy of this word.
"Well, what's the problem?" Chen Mo stopped eating, looked up at Lily, who was hesitating to speak, with a gentle and friendly smile on his face, and then said: "Just talk about it, there is no need for too much trouble between us." What a dislike."
"yes."
Nodding, Lily asked the doubts that had been lingering in her heart all this time: "With your strength, Mr. Chen Mo, even if you enter the 10th... no, the 12th floor is fine, why do you have to kill those valuables on the fourth and fifth floors?" What about the lowly mobs?"
The weaker the monster, the lower the value of the magic stone in its body, and the less experience it can bring to adventurers. Sometimes killing dozens of goblins is not as good as killing a killer ant. If Chen Mo Ken enters the deep dungeon, and the wealth he owns now can definitely be multiplied several times.
More importantly, Chen Mo's experience points were full half a month ago, but because he lacked the experience of fighting powerful enough monsters, his level has been stuck at Lv.1, and he has been unable to upgrade for a long time.
Although Chen Mo himself was not in a hurry about this, he was so anxious that Lily, who had been watching him all the time, even the white-haired little ghost Bell was infected, urging him to go deeper into the dungeon every day.
"Lily, I understand what you are thinking, but the reason why I don't enter the deep dungeon is because of my own considerations."
Taking out a paper towel and wiping his mouth, Chen Mo continued to explain: "The deeper you go, the strength of monsters and the speed at which they appear will increase significantly, and you may encounter some tricky guys. They are the so-called elite monsters, of course, elite monsters are fine, but as long as I am on the floor, the speed at which the monsters appear will be completely out of control...by then, even I may be in danger."
Hearing Chen Mo's explanation, Lily opened her mouth, but said nothing.
Indeed, every time Chen Mo stepped into the dungeon, the speed at which monsters would appear would become quite terrifying. Usually, in less than 30 minutes, a whole layer of monsters would be born from the dungeon.
Chen Mo spawned monsters very quickly, but that was only on the fourth and fifth floors where the monster strength was not too high, and once he rashly entered deeper floors, it triggered a more terrifying monster frenzy, Lily Guang Just thinking about it makes me feel cold all over.
"Okay, let's go when we are full, and we have to work hard today."
After ending the topic about the floors, Chen Mo got up and walked out of the tavern, at the same time smiling at a gray-haired waiter who was about to clear the table.
"Today is also you, Miss Seele."
"Well, Mr. Chen Mo, you are so early today."
Responding with a sweet and healing smile, the beautiful girl waiter whose full name is Xier Fuluowa turned sideways to make way for Chen Mo.
"Oh, seeing a beauty like you, Miss Xi'er, so early in the morning, I feel like I'm going to be lucky all day today."
"That would be great. If Mr. Chen Mo is lucky because of Xi'er today, then next time Xi'er will prepare breakfast for you, specially made."
"A beautiful girl's special love bento? I'm really looking forward to it..."
Because Chen Mo spends money quite generously, everyone in the tavern has good senses for such a generous benefactor, and even jokes that cross the line can be made occasionally, and no one will get angry about it.
However, this "no one" does not include people outside the tavern.
For example, Lily, when she saw Chen Mo and Xier making fun of each other, her eyebrows immediately stood up.
"Master Chen Mo is really too hardworking!"
"This... Lily, I think senior is alright..."
Standing next to Lily, Bell defended Chen Mo with a stiff smile. As a man, he understood Chen Mo's approach quite well, and he also felt a sense of identity. He was even envious of Chen Mo's ability to easily strike up a conversation with a beautiful girl.
To be able to communicate with a beautiful girl like Miss Xier without changing her expression...
Ahhh, as expected of a senior, you are incredibly strong in every way!
Glancing at Bell who was showing admiration, Lily suddenly kicked him hard on the calf.
"Hey woo woo woo! It hurts...Lily, what are you doing?"
"No reason, I just want to kick you all of a sudden, now I feel comfortable!"
She gave Bell an angry look, Lily stepped forward, grabbed Chen Mo who was still talking to Xier, and walked outside the tavern.
"Then goodbye, good luck, Mr. Chen Mo."
Looking at Chen Mo who was being dragged away by Lily with a smile, Xier turned around and began to pack the remaining plates on the table, while whispering, "What an interesting guest."
Bell, who was half a step behind, just happened to hear her words when he passed Xier, and once again showed an expression of admiration on his face.
A few words can make Miss Xier never forget, Senior really has something!
Sighing in his heart, Bell followed Chen Mo's back and ran out of the tavern.
After he left, Xier also cleared the dining table, holding a glittering golden Farley between her slender and white fingers, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
"It's been a long time since I met such an interesting guest..."

Chapter Thirteen
In the fifth floor of the underground city.
Holding a long sword, Chen Mo walked among the monsters with precise and quick movements. Every now and then, he swung his sword down, and several monsters would be enraged on the spot.
What he said to Lily in the tavern before is indeed true, but the reason why he has been reluctant to go to the deep dungeon is not only because he is afraid of the speed of monster birth, but also because of another very important reason.
That is, he was practicing swords with these low-level monsters.
From the second floor to the third floor, then to the fourth floor, until the fifth floor, Chen Mo discovered a very interesting thing during half a month of continuous killing.
The [Black Swordsman] professional inheritance provided by the system, each skill has a proficiency. At Lv.1, the upper limit of this proficiency is 5000, and every time Chen Mo kills a monster, the proficiency It will increase a little, no matter how many floors the monster is, it will be treated equally in the eyes of the system, and one monster is equal to one point of proficiency.
When Chen Mo discovered this pattern, he almost jumped up excitedly, and then he quickly got a lot of explosives, and while killing monsters, spread them all over the first few floors of the dungeon, and finally detonated them with a bang.
However, to Chen Mo's disappointment, he did not improve his skill proficiency even a bit by doing so. After many attempts, he tried many methods one after another, but he could only use the sword with his own hands. Only by killing can it be effective.
This also made Chen Mo completely cut off the idea of cheating to earn points.
But he can't cheat, but he can take advantage of it. He only spawns monsters on the first few floors. The monsters here are basically easy to deal with. Coupled with the dungeon's "preferential" attitude towards him, he can't wait to kill the monsters in the entire dungeon. It was as if they were all sent to him, so Chen Mo would have no problem at all in brushing up one or two thousand proficiency points in a day.
And under such frequent battles, his sword skills have also changed from prototypes to truly mature killing skills.
I have to lament the power of [Swordsman in Black]'s professional skills. Even though Chen Mo has never learned any combat skills before, as long as the sword is in his hands, countless instincts about fighting will continuously spew out from his body, and then It quickly merged into his sword skills, and the monsters who died under his blade were like sharpening stones, making his sword skills more concise and more deadly.
"system."
After killing all the monsters on the entire floor again, Chen Mo shook off the blood stained on the blade, and while he seized the time to rest against the wall to recover his strength, he summoned the system.
Calculate proficiency, it should be enough now...
"Name: Chen Mo
Race: Human - Adventurer Lv.1 (1000/1000) - Hestia Familia
Age: 23 (150)
Height: 177cm
Weight: 65kg
Spirit: 10 (10)
Strength: 10 (of 10)
Agility: 10 (10)
Stamina: 10 (10)
Constitution: 10 (10)
Occupational inheritance: [Black Swordsman]
Energy: 68740.13/1000000"
Chen Mo didn't look at the system interface, which still had ten personal attributes, and directly entered the exclusive skill tree panel of [Swordsman in Black].
"[One-handed sword] Lv2 (15672/50000): The ability to comprehend sword skills has increased, and one-handed sword can be skillfully used;
When holding a sword, all attributes increase, and the combat intuition is enhanced;
Increases the dodge rate when receiving sword skill attacks, and increases the trigger rate of knowing hits when attacking with sword skills. "
"[Insight] Lv.2 (10228/50000): When holding a sword, the observation ability increases, the combat intuition increases, the sixth sense increases, and the dodge rate against sneak attacks increases"
"[Balance] Lv.2 (5104/50000): When holding a sword, the sense of balance increases, the three-dimensional mobility increases, and the agility increases"
"[Speed Reflex] Lv.1 (5000/5000): When using sword skills, the agility attribute increases slightly, and the dodge rate increases slightly when being attacked by sword skills;
When holding a sword, the nerve reflex speed is slightly increased, and the combat intuition is slightly enhanced."
Of the four professional skills, three of them have been upgraded to Lv.2, and only [Rapid Reflex] has not yet been upgraded, but the proficiency has also been fully charged.
Looking at the skills that can be upgraded, Chen Mo clicked on the skill box without hesitation.
In an instant, a gorgeous golden light flashed, and under the skill box of [Rapid Reflex], the handwriting of Lv.1 has changed to Lv.2.
"[Speed Reflex] Lv.2 (0/50000): When using sword skills, the agility attribute increases, and the dodge rate increases when suffering from sword skills attacks;
When holding a sword, the nerve reflex speed increases, and the combat intuition increases."
With the upgrading of his skills, Chen Mo didn't feel any obvious changes. He grasped his palms, and he didn't feel like "strength is constantly emerging", but he knew that he had indeed become stronger.
Because in his eyes, the pitch-black sword that had been with him for half a month suddenly became more intimate at this moment.
He stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, drew the sword and swung it twice, obviously with the same effort, but it was about 20% faster than before.
Nodding in satisfaction, putting away the sword, Chen Mo then looked at the second level of the skill tree.
[Two swordsmanship], [Lone player].
Different from the four skills on the first level, although there are only two skills on the second level, the names of any skills are quite recognizable.
[One-handed sword], [Insight], [Balance], [Speedy Reflex], if these four skills are the common skills of the swordsman profession, then [Two Swordsmanship] and [Lone Player] are [Black Sword] The special skills of the profession of the Soldier.
But now, after upgrading all four skills on the first floor to the second level, on the second floor, the skill frame of [Lone Player] is shining slightly, shining with a breathtaking pale golden brilliance.
"Goo..."
Swallowing nervously, Chen Mo reached out and tapped the skill box of [Lone Player].
And the moment his finger fell, dazzling golden light filled his entire field of vision.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the skill [Lone Player] has been activated successfully, the current level is Lv.1"
"[Lone Player] Lv.1 (0/10000): When you leave the team and act alone, you will stimulate your fighting spirit, and all attributes will increase slightly. The increase will increase with the battle time, and the maximum increase will be 500% of the basic attribute value."
500% basic attribute value? !
Looking at the gleaming golden skill frame in front of him, Chen Mo almost wondered if he was dazzled and saw an extra zero?
I blinked hard, and looked again, it was still 500%!
What is the concept of increasing all attributes by 500%? With Chen Mo's current attribute value, after increasing five times, the total attribute value is 50 points, and a Lv.2 adventurer, the upper limit of all attributes is only 100 points... In other words, he is now equivalent to a Lv.2 The backbone of adventurers!
And this is only the effect of Lv.1's [Lone Player], how strong will this skill be after it is upgraded to Lv.2, Lv.3, or even Lv.5?
Chen Mo didn't even dare to think about it.
He was afraid that just thinking about it would make him so excited that he couldn't help crying out!
Taking two deep breaths, he habitually put his hand on the hilt of the sword. The cold and hard familiar touch seemed to convey a quiet force, which calmed down Chen Mo's excitement a little.
After a short rest, Chen Mo pulled out his sword again and stood in the middle of the passage.
"Lily, are you resting?"
"No problem." Nodding with a serious expression, Lily stepped back a few steps and distanced herself from Chen Mo.
"Then I'll start."
Slowly raised the long sword to his chest, and at the same time, the muscles all over his body gradually tightened like springs. The next moment, Chen Mo's feet sank slightly.
"Hula-la--"
The sound of the black coat rolling up the air echoed in the cave, while Chen Mo had already turned into a dark afterimage and rushed out.
At the end of the passage in the distance, a few little shadow fiends had just been born from the dungeon, but before they had time to let out their first roar in their lives, a black line magnified extremely quickly in the field of vision, and then a cold sharp edge flashed past them, knocking them out. His consciousness was sent back to the chaos.
After easily disposing of these little shadow demons, Chen Mo turned his sword, and then immediately pounced on another group of newly born monsters, and around him, more and more monsters continued to gather around, gathering into a new round of monsters frenzy.
"Lord Chen Mo..."
Hiding far away in the corner of the floor, Lily's eyes were a little blurred.
Just half a month ago, she followed a team of adventurers and met Chen Mo who was massacring monsters on the third floor of the dungeon, and was almost forced to stay by the opponent to collect magic stones.
Half a month passed quickly, Chen Mo was still dressed in black, with a long black sword hanging from his waist, but Lily, who was with him day and night, keenly captured the changes in him.
Every day, every time he enters the dungeon, and even every time he kills a monster, Chen Mo's aura keeps getting stronger, like a blade being honed, and that indomitable sense of sharpness seems to be able to stab through the sight directly. Generally hurt the soul.
Lily has never seen an adventurer who grows so fast, let alone a swordsman better than Chen Mo—even the one who stands at the top of all female adventurers in Olalie, who is known as the Sword Princess. Neither did Wallenstein.
When Chen Mo held the sword, his whole body seemed to merge with the sword in his hand. This state has surpassed the limit of Lily's imagination and understanding ability.
However, although it is impossible to imagine how deep Chen Mo's knowledge in swordsmanship is, Lily has a very deep feeling.
He seems to be born for the sword - a swordsman with a natural heart and a natural bone.
...
Ten minutes later, Chen Mo stood at the end of the fifth floor and waved his long sword casually. The dark red blood stains were like a crescent moon, splashing on the dark cave wall.
Behind him, there are monster corpses all over the passage.
Lily's small body nimbly walked among the corpses of the monsters. While collecting magic stones, she couldn't help but look at Chen Mo's back standing quietly at the end of the floor with admiration, and exclaimed: "Every time I see Mr. Chen Mo fighting, it's like It's like dancing, it's a pleasing feeling!"
"..."
