Offer blocks to the end times

“That’s too insidious, God,” Bell seemed to be stopping her, but Hestia was still struggling. “Bell, you’re too fastidious. In the mortal realm, sweet talk is useless. I’ve seen it several times: being kicked out of one’s home, not even able to afford potato balls, locked in a basement, burdened with heavy debts. The world is much more capricious than the gods.”

"These were all caused by the gods themselves, right? And what's that last one?" Bell said, then suddenly paused, puzzled. "Anyway, as long as it's explained clearly..."

"Hey, what are you doing at home?" Senju called out from outside. The sounds inside stopped abruptly, and after a while, Hestia's puzzled voice came from inside, "Senju?"

"Yes, it's me. I have something I'd like to ask you," Senju said. Then, a door opened a crack. Hestia poked her head out, looked around, and, seeing that no one else was there, pulled Senju inside.

However, after Senju went in, she saw Bell with a tearful expression and asked, "What happened? I heard you two arguing just now."

Hestia asked Senju to sit down before speaking, "I don't know if Bell is lucky or unlucky. He borrowed a magic book from someone, and that little fool read it. Now the magic book is completely ineffective."

"Waaah," Bell silently shed tears beside her. Senju looked at the grimoire Hestia was holding. "Oh, so this is it. Wasn't that the one Seele gave you?"

“Seele?!” Hestia’s gaze turned dangerous. Bell said, “This was borrowed from the hotel, it’s not Seele’s property.”

"So, who is this Seele?" Hestia stood in front of Bell and stared at him. Bell shrank even tighter. After a while, Hestia gave up. "Never mind, the important thing now is the grimoire."

“I’ll apologize then,” Bell looked up, but Hestia shook her head repeatedly. “No, leave it to me.”

“Even the gods can’t do anything about this. You said it yourself that it costs a lot of money,” Bell shouted. Seeing the two of them stuck in a rut, Thousand Hands quickly spoke up, “I do have a few more books like this, but I don’t know if they’ll be of any use.”

"Ah, really?"

"Huh?" Hestia's eyes lit up as she ran up to Senju. "How much? I can write an IOU."

“Uh,” Senju looked at her and wondered why she was seeing Hephaestus hitting her with an IOU. She quickly shook her head. “No money is needed. You just need to exchange one of your technologies.”

"So many magic books, and they're all the same! Are you a forger, Senju?" Hestia was very excited looking at the pile of magic books Senju had laid out on the table. After a while, she calmed down and wondered what valuable skills she possessed. "What skills?"

“What I want is a ‘lock’ technology that hides the attribute table,” Senju gestured, and Hestia fell silent. After a while, she looked up and said, “I didn’t know there was such a technology. That’s great.”

However, seeing Senju's surprised expression, she quickly changed her tune, "Haha, I was just kidding. 'Lock,' right? I hid that super secret technology. I'm going to get it now. Please watch the house."

Hestia finished speaking and ran off. Senju watched her run off with some curiosity, but didn't think much of it. He looked at Bell and asked, "By the way, Bell, what kind of magic did you awaken?"

“It’s fire and lightning, a quick-attack spell,” Bell said, wiping away his tears. He seemed to recall the scene from last night, his face turning red as he frantically shook his head.

"Um, are you alright, Bell?" Senju asked cautiously, looking at him. Bell quickly regained his composure and replied, "I'm fine, Lord Star God."

"That's good. While you have some free time, take a look at these grimoires," Senju pushed the grimoires forward to prevent him from going crazy again.

“No, one book is already too much trouble for you, how can you continue reading?” Bell suddenly raised his head and looked at Senju seriously. Senju was slightly taken aback. “Okay, by the way, the place you borrowed the book from is the Abundant Mistress, right? I happen to have something to do there, let’s go together.”

“But Goddess,” Bell said hesitantly, but Senju took out a magic book and put it in his arms. “Hestia will be fine. You can ask her when you get back. But you have to return the book you borrowed.”

"Yes," Bell replied, then put on his gear. Senju, watching from the side, asked, "Is Bell going to smash up a shop in his gear?"

“No,” Bell hurriedly waved his hand, “If they don’t approve of this magic book and have to pay me back, I’ll go to the dungeon and work on it.”

"Sigh, he's so naive," Senju sighed, then watched as Bell put on his gear. Bell then followed behind Senju, clutching his book as if he were going to his execution, heading towards the hotel.

The streets of Orario were filled with a thin mist in the morning. The two walked along the road, but there weren't many people on the road yet. However, when they passed a certain place, Senju seemed to vaguely hear Loki's laughter.

Chapter 418 Aisha's New Image

Ignoring what Loki was doing there, Thousand Hands continued walking towards the hotel, while Bell behind him was extremely anxious and didn't pay any attention to his surroundings.

When the two arrived at the hotel, the staff were already at work. Upon seeing Bale, they all greeted him, indicating that Bale had already become familiar with the place.

“This isn’t a boy, meow, hello meow,” the black-furred cat maid Chloe greeted Bell at the door, then looked at Senju, “Guest, meow, the door isn’t open yet, meow.”

"Um, is Miss Seele here? We need to talk to her," Bell replied with a wry smile, while the cat-like maid at the door kept wagging her tail. "What? You're looking for Seele without even saying hello? What are you up to so early in the morning?"

"Please call Miss Seele over," Bell called out, unusually, indicating he was under a lot of pressure. The cat-woman maid was startled, "Meow, okay, meow."

As she spoke, she ran back into the store, and a moment later poked her head out and waved to the two of them.

After the two went inside, they saw the other maids tidying up. After a while, Seele ran out from the kitchen. "Good morning, Mr. Bell, what happened?"

Bell, shielding her and the landlady from view, recounted what had happened, then discussed how to make amends, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

“You’ve really messed up this time, Mr. Bell,” Seele said, looking away with tears welling up in her eyes. The proprietress next to her was comparing the two magic books.

"Seriously, Miss Seele, why are you talking like a stranger?" Bell, who was apologizing, looked up and exclaimed. Seele turned her head away, embarrassed. "Is this really not okay?"

“It’s super cute, but it won’t do,” Bell said, her face flushed but still clear-headed. The proprietress next to her had already opened the grimoire and started to check its contents. However, after looking at it for a while, she seemed to have discovered something and immediately closed the book. “Okay, although I don’t know where you found it, it is indeed a grimoire.”

“Really? That’s wonderful!” Bell cheered from the side, then bowed to Senju. “Thank you so much, Lord Star God, thank you for your help.”

“No need to thank me,” Senju shook his head. “This was something Hestia traded her technology for. You should thank Hestia.”

"Yes, thank you, God," Bell said, tears welling in his eyes as he gazed into the void. Seele beside him seemed puzzled, but then breathed a sigh of relief and took out...

She timidly handed a basket to Bell, saying, "May I ask you to accept this today as well?"

"I'll take it," Bell said, blushing as she accepted the basket. After thanking everyone, she ran out.

"Why are you still here?" the landlady asked, looking at Senju sitting to the side. Senju sat there leisurely. "I made an appointment to meet someone here today, but I forgot to mention the time."

"Then come back when the shop opens," the proprietress said, kicking Qian Shou out. Qian Shou shook his head helplessly as he left and went into the internet cafe next door.

The internet cafe was still packed today, but there were a bunch of people sleeping outside. After Thousand Hands went in for a while, he saw the patrolling robot grab a sleeping person and put him outside.

I asked around and found out that these people had exceeded their time limit, so they had to be cleared out of the store. There were quite a few people sleeping nearby, and a few others were slumped over virtual keyboards, with garbled characters rapidly appearing on their computers.

However, such people were quickly dragged away by those around them, and then replaced by others to continue playing. Seeing this, Thousand Hands felt that cooperation was even more necessary. It would be hilarious if a god returned to the heavens because of excessive computer use.

Afterwards, Senju entered the hut where they were resting and called Haruhime out. However, she was currently preparing breakfast for Chito and the others, and she seemed quite skilled at it.

Thousand Hands took the opportunity to chat with her for a while. After she finished making breakfast, Thousand Hands told her that someone wanted to see her and then sent a clone to take her to see Aisha.

When Hashirama brought Haruhime to Aisha's place, Aisha was training outside. When she saw Haruhime, she smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Haruhime?"

"Miss Aisha!" Haruhime took a few steps back, then hid behind Hashirama, and shouted with all her might, "I... I won't go back."

“Don’t worry, don’t worry,” Aisha turned around so that Haruhime could see her back. “I’m no longer a member of the Ishtar Familia. I’ve joined a new one.”

“Ah, Miss Aisha is just like me, from the same clan,” Haruhime breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the clan crest on Aisha’s back, and started chatting with her.

However, after chatting for a while, Aisha exclaimed in surprise, "What? You're already LV2?! Let me see!"

As she spoke, Aisha began to undress Haruhime. Watching the erotic scene between the two, Hashirama silently turned his head away.

"She's actually reached LV2, and her stats have changed to D! How did she manage to improve her stats so quickly?" Hearing Aisha's surprised voice from behind, Hashirama turned around and saw Haruhime frantically putting on her clothes.

“Just kill monsters that are far above your level,” Hashirama said calmly, but Aisha looked at him as if he were an idiot. “Everyone knows that, but it’s hard to do.”

"Well, just consider it the clan's secret weapon," Hashirama said calmly, then looked at her. "So, are you willing to work for us?"

“Okay, I agree,” Aisha nodded, and Senju nodded happily. “Great! I happen to need your help with something. After I finish this, I’ll take you to level up to LV4.”

"You make it sound so easy," Aisha chuckled. Then Senju explained the situation with Freya's Familia. Aisha nodded, then hesitated, "But in my current state, I'll immediately attract attention, and the attribute chart on my back will reveal my strength. Is that alright?"

“Hmm,” Senju pondered for a moment, then began making a transformation collar. “For now, you can use this to conceal your identity.”

"Is this the transformation collar? Whose image is it?" Aisha took it and put it on following the instructions. She turned it on and transformed into a cool male image. Chunji, who was next to her, was somewhat tempted.

“This character will be called Sasuke, a ninja from the Far East,” Hashirama said, placing a mirror in front of her.

Chapter 419 Cooperation

"Is this me?" Aisha stared blankly at the figure in the mirror, a cool young man dressed in strange clothes. After a while, her voice gradually changed to a clear, cold male voice, "I am Sasuke."

“That’s right, this is Naruko. You two are from the same village as me,” Hashirama pointed to Haruhime on the side, who nodded and transformed into Naruko’s appearance. “We came here to make money and then joined the Senju clan.”

Senju explained the character settings to the two of them. After a while, Aisha became quite convincing, and her eyes were filled with a cold feeling. Even her moves were given a new look at Senju's suggestion.

The magic 'Purgatory Chaos' was disguised as a 'Cursed Seal', the Amazonian martial arts were transformed into physical techniques, and with Haruhime's reminder, Senju helped her change into kunai and shuriken. Everything seemed ambiguous, but it was enough to deceive people.

Senju then took Haruhime back, and then brought 'Sasuke' back to the internet cafe, explaining the situation there to her. As Aisha listened to Senju's explanation, she gradually became prepared.

However, looking at the drowsy people here, she felt a sense of disgust. "Does this mean that without strong men, the people here seem to have no souls?"

"Look, there are lots of male gods over there, they just haven't slept for a few days," Senju pointed to the side.

But Aisha looked disgusted. "I'm looking for the strongest man in the world, to create the strongest Amazon warrior."

Seeing Sasuke's face as he said those words, Senju was speechless. "Remember, you are a man now. Don't give yourself away. Just act cool."

“Yes,” the previously ethereal voice returned to its deep tone, and 'Sasuke's' expression also turned somber. “I want to see my former comrades, is that alright?”

“Sure,” Senju nodded, “but it must be outside of work, and it would be even better if you could gather intelligence.”

“I understand,” Sasuke nodded coldly, but Senju glanced at her basic equipment and then took her to replenish her equipment and medicine.

The two arrived at the Sky Tower. Thousand Hands also wanted to take the opportunity to buy some clothes made of Elven Cloth. Aisha led the way, and the two quickly bought weapons and armor. Clothes made of Elven Cloth here were basically hundreds of thousands of Fali each, and Thousand Hands bought a bunch and gave them to William and the others.

Aisha has now changed into a men's outfit made of special protective cloth, and is holding a longsword, looking every bit the cool adventurer.

The two then went to the pharmacy, where Nazha was still looking like she hadn't woken up yet, but Mihe was nowhere to be seen.

Aisha went to choose the potion herself, while Thousand Hands chatted with Nazha about the potions. However, Nazha shook her head and took out three bottles of potions, saying, "I'm sorry, the ingredients of these elixirs are impossible to analyze. These three potions are completely different."

"It's alright, but you can still make it like this. Let's leave it as is," Senju nodded as he looked at the purplish-red potion and began to examine it. The results were all ?? potions. It seemed to be another item whose effects were unknown.

Naza breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Qian Shou didn't say anything. Then she took out a box from under the counter. "These are high-grade spiritual medicines that I made these days. They have stronger recovery abilities. There are thirty high-grade recovery medicines and thirty spirit recovery potions in this box. It's a total of one million worth of goods."

"Oh, a batch has already been made?" Senju took the box and looked at it. Inside were rows of slender test tubes filled with a faintly fluorescent liquid.

"Isn't this price too expensive?" Sasuke braced his arms on the counter, staring intently at Nazha. Nazha, who had initially looked sleepy, began to break out in a cold sweat. "What are you saying? This was pre-ordered. Oh, and there are ten bottles of dual-attribute elixirs. I forgot to put them in earlier."

"Is that so?" 'Sasuke' stared coldly at Nazha, but she still maintained a defiant attitude. Senju patted his head helplessly, "I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time..."

“No, absolutely not,” Naza said in a panic, then Aisha put a bunch of potions on the table. “These need to be carefully calculated.”

“I understand,” Naza quickly regained her composure, then took out several bottles of elixirs from under the counter. “By the way, sir, would you like to try this high-grade elixir? It only costs a few tens of thousands of fali.”

Seeing her still recklessly pushing the product, Qian Shou was speechless. Aisha ignored her as well. In the end, Naza, who had failed to sell the product, had no choice but to calculate the price of the item, which came to a total of 200,000 Fali.

After giving her the money, Qian Shou left with Aisha. On the way, Qian Shou listened to Aisha's explanation and learned that Naza had actually increased the price by more than two times.

After walking for a while, four little human warriors dressed entirely in black armor suddenly appeared by the roadside, only their mouths visible. Although it was unclear how they could see, they clearly spotted Thousand Hands. "Is that the Star God Thousand Hands? The goddess is waiting for you at the hotel. Please come with us."

“Hmm,” Senju nodded and followed them to the abundant hostess’s place. Several adventurers with similar equipment were standing at the entrance of the hotel. After the two followed them inside, they saw that there was only one guest wearing a cloak. The maids were nowhere to be seen, and only the landlady was watching from the side.

Senju sat down and looked at Freya over there. He was too lazy to discuss it. "How about it? You get 20% and I get 80% of the revenue. If you agree, we'll cooperate. If not, then forget it."

"What an impatient man," Freya smiled faintly, looking at the person behind Senju. "And who is this?"

"This is Sasuke. Alright, let's get back to the internet cafe thing and talk about something else," Senju said impatiently. Although he had been tricked several times before, he felt this time was the most humiliating.

“Hehe,” Freya chuckled softly, then looked at Senju, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll send someone to sabotage us? Even if that person is stronger than Ota, he can’t stay here forever.”

“No, no, you’re wrong about one thing. He won’t be here,” Senju shook his head. Why would he waste his precious fighting power on such a small place? “I don’t want to send anyone to manage things here. If it breaks down, I won’t fix it. Even if those gods come after me, they can’t do anything about it. After all, a Level 8 can suppress the entire Orario by himself.”

“Well said,” Freya clapped her hands gently. “Then let’s cooperate, sign a contract, and let the gods witness it.”

"Okay, sure," Senju took a contract, checked it and handed it to Aisha behind him. But when Senju turned around, he saw a silly face with drooling behind him. "Level 8, I want it."
