Ling Xuan also sent Ryu back to the tavern, then returned to the hidden room in the church.
Just as he expected, Hestia had not returned yet.
"System, open the panel."
[Host: Ling Xuan]
[Familia: Hestia Familia]
[Level: lv1]
[Strength: S: 901 (+200)]
[Endurance: A: 821].
[Dexterity: B: 733]
[Agility: A: 804 (+100)]
[Magic: H: 101]
[Honkai Energy: C: 606]
[Magic: None]
[Skills: Ice Control: LV1, Fusion Warrior, Chimera of Humanity, Strength Bonus lv2, Agility Bonus lv1, Honkai Energy lv1...]
Looking at his panel, Ling Xuan nodded with great satisfaction.
"It seems the harvest this time is not bad!"
Just at this moment, a cold system voice came from his ear!
[Ding! Host simulation progress increased by 5%!]
[Kevin Kaslana Template (Elementary)]
[Current Progress: 30%]
[Ding! As the host's simulation progress has reached a certain level, the chat group has Leveled Up!]
[Ding! Welcome Kiana to the chat group...]
[Ding! Welcome Yae Miko to the chat group...]
[Ding! Welcome Naruto to the chat group...]
[Ding! Welcome Kafka to the chat group...]
[Ding! As the group size has reached a certain level, the video system is now unlocked!]
Seeing this scene, Ling Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity.
Soon, he understood what this so-called video system was.
It allows you to record everything in your world into a video and post it in the chat group.
Consider it a small sharing platform...
Thinking this, Ling Xuan also opened the chat group.
If there were no surprises, the group would have already exploded by now.
New group members actually flooded in during this time!
Indeed, people from various worlds were slightly stunned upon hearing the sudden mechanical sound.
Immediately after, frantic questioning began throughout the chat group.
[Kiana: Chat group, what is this? Wait... Bronya, why are you in this chat group?]
[Bronya: Ah this... Idiot Kiana actually joined this chat group too?]
[Kiana: Who are you calling an idiot?! This lady is the strongest Valkyrie, but what exactly is this chat group? Shorty, are you sure you're not going to give me an explanation?]
[Naruto: Chat group, something I don't understand but sounds impressive... but it doesn't look like it can be eaten.]
[Yae Miko: Chat group... Is this another trick created by some other declaration?]
[Kafka: ??? What is this? I seem to smell a conspiracy.]
[Ni Hui Shiliuye: Interesting, new group members have joined again... but there's no conspiracy in this group, it's just an ordinary sharing group. If there's anything special, it's that the people in this group are all from various worlds!]
[Kiana: ???]
[Naruto: People from other worlds? Can you use ninjutsu? Do you have delicious ramen?]
[Kafka: ??? Are you sure this isn't some vulgar little thing created by other new students?]
[...]
Ling Xuan looked at the chat content in the group and could only say it was unexpected, yet reasonable.
After all, if others were inexplicably pulled into a chat group and told that the people in it were all from various worlds.
A normal person would have a hint of suspicion, right...
After a brief explanation, Ling Xuan no longer paid attention to the chat group.
Now he had to consider his future.
Now Ryu has joined his team, and after this, he just needs to continue recruiting some powerful people.
And in the subsequent plot, what's about to happen is the Monster Festival.
Ling Xuan wasn't too worried about those so-called monsters.
But Freya...
This is the biggest variable!
He has now taken Bell's place, which means that goddess has set her sights on him.
Now that the plot has changed to a certain extent, even he doesn't know what kind of trouble Freya will cause.
Thinking this, Ling Xuan quickly considered his next plan.
One is to continue adventuring in the Dungeon to gain template progress and improve his strength.
On the other hand, he needs to actively recruit various powerful individuals into his team.
However, before that, he must get through the Monster Festival.
....
The next day, Ling Xuan also went out early.
"Hmm... because of the arrival of the Monster Festival, the entire City has become lively."
Seeing a large number of adventurers walking in groups in the City, as well as various vendors.
Ling Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It seems the City is so bustling early in the morning because of the Monster Festival.
Thinking this, Ling Xuan didn't plan to adventure in the Dungeon today either.
After all, one must know how to balance work and rest.
It would be a bit foolish to go grinding Levels during such a great festival.
Moreover, he was also very clear that this Monster Festival would riot.
Hopefully, that goddess will be gentle...
Soon, he arrived at the tavern.
He saw the familiar elven girl.
"Ryu, good morning."
"Good morning, Ling Xuan."
After the two exchanged simple greetings.
"Where's Xier?"
Ling Xuan asked somewhat curiously.
Looking at the environment of the entire City, with the arrival of the Monster Festival,
"This..."
Ryu seemed to find it difficult to speak.
Just then, the cat-girl next to her spoke up.
"Ryu is so silly nya—.
Xier was lazy, didn't watch the shop, and ran off to see the festival, and she even forgot her wallet."
Hearing this, Ling Xuan also nodded.
"I see. Then where is her wallet? I'll help you deliver it to her, if I get the chance!"
"That would be great!"
As soon as those words fell.
A money pouch appeared before Ling Xuan.
It was a cloth pouch, a "frog-mouth" style wallet with a clasp. A subtle engraving of a rare emblem was on it, indicating it was a product of a certain business-type Familia. It was a small and cute purple money bag.
"Speaking of which, Ryu, on a festival day like this, aren't you going out to have fun?"
Hearing this, Ryu was slightly startled, then shook her head.
The next second, her arm was grabbed by Ling Xuan.
"Being so lifeless isn't good, you know, during such a great festival. You should go out and have some fun... It would be better for you to personally give that wallet to Xier."
As soon as those words fell, Ling Xuan grabbed Ryu and, with an undeniable momentum, took her out to have fun.
Just like that, a date belonging to the two of them began.
It was clear that this date wouldn't be so smooth!.
