It turns out today's distinguished guests are from Loki's clan!!

Everyone stood up to greet them, and Mia's mother came forward with a smile on her face: "Welcome."

Everyone in Loki's family took their seats. The leader, the blonde Dwarf [Brave] Finn, politely said, "Mother Mia, long time no see. We just returned from our expedition and are all exhausted. We thought we'd come to your place to rest and have something warm to eat."

"no problem."

Mia's mother said with a smile, turning around and telling the waiter at the tavern to serve the food quickly.

For a moment, the tavern was bustling with activity. Everyone was busy serving food and pouring wine for the guests of Loki's family, while secretly paying attention to their conversation.

"How was the expedition?"

An old drinker at the next table took advantage of the break between dishes to ask the people from Loki's family.

Chapter 12 Liu: Oh no, my house is going to be robbed?

The Loki family sat around the table in the tavern, which was filled with mouth-watering food and mellow and fragrant ale.

An old drinker couldn't help but ask:

"What did you gain from this expedition?"

Team leader Finn smiled, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he replied, "Not bad. We went deep into the dungeon and found some precious magic stones and materials, enough to forge a batch of new equipment."

"I heard that the depths of the dungeon are becoming more and more dangerous. Have you encountered any powerful monsters?" another guest asked curiously.

"Of course there were dangers. The deeper we ventured, the more difficult the monsters in the unknown areas became, but we were able to overcome them all. We will report the specific monsters we encountered to the guild later. Under [Currently Public Information], everyone will be able to see the results of our expedition."

Finn explained patiently, a confident smile on his face.

"As expected of the Loki Familia! Come, let's toast to their victory in the expedition. They are the hope for the future of Orario!"

The old drinker stood up excitedly and raised his glass to make a proposal.

Under his leadership, everyone in the audience cheered and the atmosphere was very lively.

Finn just smiled slightly at the sight, but he had a more far-reaching plan in mind.

To combat the monster insurrection and unusual energy fluctuations in the dungeon, the Loki clan had dispatched an elite team deep into the depths, and they had already reached the 48th floor. The gains from this expedition were indeed significant, but in Finn's opinion, they were far from enough.

He hoped that the expedition he would undertake in the next one to two years would be able to challenge the territory once reached by the Zeus and Hera families. (These two families had actually reached the 71st floor of the dungeon, but only publicly claimed it was the 59th floor.)

If he could achieve this goal, the name of Loki's clan would once again be known throughout the world, and his fellow dwarfs, the Dwarfs, whom he longed for, would also hear of his heroic deeds, thus enabling him to realize the great cause of revival for his clan!

Inside the tavern, everyone chatted and shared every detail of the expedition, sometimes sighing at thrilling encounters, sometimes laughing at clever responses.

As the conversation heated up, Level 5 Werewolf Adventurer Bert Roca suddenly roared angrily:

"Hey, why is there a male waiter here?!"

Werewolf Bert's roar caused the magic stone chandelier hanging from the ceiling to tremble.

In an instant, dozens of gazes shot towards the corner like arrows.

The new black-haired boy was taking a half step back with a pinewood tray, the freshly baked honey bread steaming in his red-knuckled palm.

Xing Jian, who had just become an adventurer, was a little thin. Standing among a group of high-level adventurers with different figures and strong aura, he looked particularly young and immature.

Being stared at so suddenly by everyone, Xingjian stopped what he was doing and looked at everyone awkwardly.

Everyone looked over, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Huh? I just realized why [Hostes of Abundance] hired male waiters? I remember the job posting outside the store said it only hired female waiters."

"Yes, yes, haven't there always been cute waitresses here?"

"But, he's a pretty handsome boy~~"

Tiona Silut, the younger sister of the LV5 first-level adventurer Amazon warriors, looked Xingjian up and down with interest, her eyes flashing with excitement, and she did not hide her admiration.

"Stupid Diona, stop being such a nympho! You're drooling! Stop staring at others like that in front of everyone!!"

Seeing this, her elder sister Tione Silut hurriedly stopped her sister from misbehaving.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Mia's mother hurried out of the kitchen when Bert was shouting and several guests looked puzzled.

Mia's mother is 2 meters tall and has a strong build. Whenever she stands there, she exudes unquestionable majesty.

"This is a special case. Any comments?"

Mia's mother looked at everyone calmly, her voice not loud but full of confidence.

After a brief silence, Finn was the first to laugh, breaking the deadlock: "Haha, Mia's mother said it's a special case, then of course it is a special case, we dare not object."

Everyone followed suit, and laughter echoed in the tavern again.

Everyone knows that Mia's mother is famous for her power in this area. Her tavern is not only a warm haven for adventurers to rest, but also the "rule maker" of this small world.

Normally, no matter how unruly an adventurer is, he has to be obedient when he comes to Mia's mother.

Even Finn, the leader of Loki's clan, did not dare to easily conflict with the dwarf female boss.

In this city, the only one who could defeat Mia's mother in a head-on fight is probably the wild boar man.

Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mia's mother with gratitude, and continued with the work at hand.

At the same time, the blonde girl Ais's gaze remained on Xingjian from beginning to end, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in her eyes.

When Xingjian came to the table of Loki's family again and was about to add more wine to them, Ais suddenly stood up without warning.

In an instant, the entire pub seemed to have been paused, and everyone stopped what they were doing. Bert, who was drinking, was stunned, with his mouth half open and wine dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Ai Si stood there quietly, her golden eyes staring straight at Xing Jian. When their eyes met, the air around them seemed to become solemn.

After a moment, Werewolf Bert was the first to come to his senses. He widened his eyes and shouted in disbelief:

"No way, Aisi, are you interested in this brat?"

Seeing Bert's fierce look, Tione immediately stood up to stop him: "Bert, don't be impulsive! Sit down!"

At this time, the blonde girl Ais seemed to have not heard it, her eyes did not fluctuate at all, and she still stared at Xingjian.

The entire tavern was in dead silence, and everyone was looking at this incredible scene.

Why is the blonde swordsman girl who achieved the fastest advancement to LV2 in Orario and is now a LV5 first-level adventurer looking so intently at the unknown tavern waiter in front of her?

Could it be... Could it be!!!

Everyone showed an interested look, and Miss Liu, who was holding the plate, was even more stunned. She didn't even notice the dipping sauce on the plate dripping onto the wooden floor.

At this moment, Miss Liu had only one thought in her mind: Not good!

When the guests in Liuhe Tavern were full of doubts, the blonde girl finally spoke and asked softly:

"Where did you buy those delicious-looking fried potato balls?"

Everyone in the tavern: ???

Chapter 13 [Hyperspace Cutter]

Fried potato balls?

Xing Jian was startled by this sudden question. His mind instantly flashed back to the canvas tent selling fried potato balls and the pretty girl he encountered in the alley after leaving the Hephaestus Family that afternoon. He subconsciously responded:

"It's at the canvas shed on the corner of XX Street. There's a very pretty girl selling it. If Miss Aisi doesn't know the exact location, I can take you there tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Ai Si nodded slightly, a barely perceptible joy flashed across her eyes, and then she slowly sat down.

At this moment, the tavern fell into a brief silence. Everyone looked at each other, their faces still frozen with astonishment brought about by the previous groundless speculations.

However, this frozen atmosphere only lasted for a moment before it was broken by a burst of laughter like a hurricane.

"Hahahaha, I was saying it. How could our beautiful and unparalleled Lady Sword Princess possibly be interested in a nameless young man?"

"That's right, it's all our fault for having such wild imaginations. We scared ourselves, hahahahaha!"

"So Miss Aisi was just craving fried potato balls, but she's really giving us a hard time, hahahaha."

Everyone in the tavern was laughing so hard that they were bent over and slapping their hands on the table, causing the drinks in their glasses to splash out.

Some people laughed and shook their heads, as if they found their own wild and unfounded thoughts ridiculous. Others joked with each other, making fun of each other's nervous and fearful appearances.

"That's it?"

Werewolf Bert scratched his head, a smile of embarrassment and relief on his face. He sat back in his seat, gulped down a large gulp of beer, and muttered, "I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out you were just thinking about food."

Tiona, one of the Amazon sisters, laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She pointed at Ais and said intermittently:

"Aisi, you...you're amazing! You scared everyone just for a potato ball!"

Ai Si's cheeks flushed slightly, and she bit her lower lip lightly, seeming to feel a little embarrassed, but her bright and clear eyes were still full of obsession with fried potato balls.

In her eyes, those who like fried potato balls are like-minded potato lovers. It is normal for them to want to find stalls selling delicious fried potato balls, right?

Seeing this, Livilia on the side smiled faintly. As the person who knew Ais best, she had already seen through everything.

After all, this child... is an utter idiot.

Amidst the laughter and joy, the lively banquet gradually came to an end.

The adventurers, having eaten and drunk their fill, stood up one after another and left the tavern in groups. Their figures were lengthened by the streetlights and blended into the night. The tavern gradually returned to calm, and the day ended in this atmosphere full of surprises and laughter.

The next morning, the sky was just beginning to turn pale and Orario was still shrouded in a light morning mist. Xingjian got up on time.

"My magic power seems to have really improved a lot."

As soon as Xing Jian stood up, he keenly noticed that the magic power was like an endless stream, continuing to rise, and his heart was full of disbelief.

The skill he mastered, [Synchronous Breathing], allowed his magic power to continuously increase as long as he was breathing, and after sleeping for 8 hours every night, his magic power limit could be increased by an additional 2%.

Come to think of it, those who stay up late to cultivate themselves will mostly feel listless when they wake up the next day, and their mental strength will naturally drop significantly.

People who have a regular schedule and get enough sleep will look radiant.

This skill setting is quite reasonable.

"Using the bronze bell as a bond, the gate to the fourth dimension opens! The echoes of the 22nd century converge in the palm of your hand!"

Not planning to venture into the dungeon today, Xingjian quickly cast the daily limited magic, preparing to draw new 22nd century items.

In an instant, a blue light flashed, and a blade shaped like an art knife appeared in Xingjian's hand.

Staring at the artistic knife in front of him, Xingjian's mind immediately popped up with its purpose.

【Hyperspace Cutter】!!

Just a light stroke with this knife can create a hyperspace where any object can be stored.

Although it is essentially a space knife, it has no lethality to the human body, so the public affectionately calls it the "locker knife" and it is often used as a space safe.

"Auxiliary props? That's good. In the future, each type of prop will have its own dedicated storage place."

The function of the [Hyperspace Cutter] is actually quite similar to the blue fat man's four-dimensional pocket, which is enough to store various props in the future.

However, the blue fat man's movements, which seemed to be groping in his crotch every time he took out the props, were not elegant at all. In comparison, Xingjian only needed to swing the blade and then calmly retrieve the props from the void gate, which was much more handsome.

As for the common plots in theatrical versions such as props being lost or used by others, they do not exist at all in Hoshimi's.

These props from the 22nd century have long been closely bound to Xingjian. Only Xingjian can activate them by casting magic. Even if others get them, they will be useless like ordinary toys.

If the [Hyperspace Cutter] that stores the props is accidentally lost, doesn't it mean that all the props will be wasted?

In fact, there is no need to worry at all. As long as Xingjian concentrates his mental power to gather these extracted props, they will return to his hands. It's just that this operation consumes a little more mental power, but at least there is no need to worry about the problem of losing the props. It can be regarded as a very practical positive ability.

After getting up and washing up, Xingjian started to leave the tavern and go for a running exercise.

Running briskly along the winding streets of Orario, the sound of footsteps was particularly clear in the quiet morning.

Most of the houses on the street still have their doors and windows closed, only a few breakfast stalls have set up their stalls early. The stall owners are busy preparing steaming hot food, and the white steam rising from the steamers adds a bit of homely atmosphere to the cold morning.

Xingjian breathed in the fresh and slightly cool air, feeling the vitality gradually awakening in his body. Every step he took was firm and powerful, as if he was striding towards the future adventure.

Now he is already a LV1 adventurer. As long as he keeps training, his ability value will continue to improve. Although he can use 22nd century props to fight, as an adventurer, he should also have the most basic physical fitness.

After finishing her morning run, Xingjian returned to the tavern.

As soon as I stepped into the store, I saw Liu hanging out the clean sheets to dry.

Liu caught a glimpse of Xingjian coming in from the corner of his eye, and turned to face her with a beautiful smile on his face.

Xingjian suddenly remembered that everyone in the tavern was talented and spoke well. Miss Liu was a LV4 second-level adventurer. Wouldn't it be more effective to let her give her basic swordsmanship training?

Immediately, Xingjian said to the blonde fairy in front of him:
