Chapter 54 - 54: The Worried Goddess"Eina, could you split the earnings into two bags?" Blake asked, scratching his nose as he noticed the strange atmosphere. "Sure. Here," Eina nodded lightly and quickly prepared two heavy bags of coins, handing them to Blake. "Thanks for your hard work." After accepting the bags, Blake smiled and handed one of them to Lili. "Lili, this is your share." "Uh, Blake-sama..." Lili's eyes flickered with both longing and hesitation as she stared at the money bag in her hands. Finally, she bit her lip and said, "I didn't do much. I just collected things and even needed your help, Blake-sama. Taking so much feels wrong..." "Nonsense. A supporter's job is just that—you completed your task perfectly. A fifty-fifty split is fair. Honestly, without your help, I wouldn't have bothered picking up the stones, let alone exchanging them for so much money." Hearing this, Blake gently patted Lili's head and spoke sincerely. "So, don't hold back—just take it without hesitation." "Okay, Blake-sama!" Feeling the large hand gently ruffling her hair, a rare warmth surged through Lili's heart. She smiled and nodded firmly. "Eina, see you tomorrow~" "Let's go, Lili." After bidding Eina farewell with a smile, Blake left the guild with Lili. "What a kind yet domineering young man," Eina murmured with a smile, her emerald-green eyes watching their retreating figures as they talked and laughed. "And his charm with women is off the charts," she added, shaking her head slightly before getting back to clearing the remaining documents. After all, it was almost time to clock out. --- "Hah, today was truly a fruitful day. A practical enhancement spell, the sword skill One Sword To Rule All, and finally Excalibur. Not to mention, I took in a certain quiet girl as a temporary disciple." After parting ways with Lili, Blake walked down the road alone, reflecting on the day's events. A slight smile curved his lips. Ding! Successfully hunted ten Minotaurs. Mission complete. Reward: 50 Luck Points. Current total: 120 Luck Points. Ding! Achievement unlocked: Defeated 500 Level 1 monsters. Reward: 50 Luck Points. Current total: 170 Luck Points. Ding! New mission issued: Completely save Lili and invite her to join the Hestia Familia. Reward: 100 Luck Points. As these three consecutive notifications echoed in his mind, Blake paused in surprise and asked, "Sia, there are achievement missions as well?" "Of course! Besides achievement missions, there are also hidden missions~," Sia explained cheerfully. "I see. Well, that's great. I was worried there weren't enough missions, which would make earning Luck Points too slow." Satisfied, Blake nodded before asking another question. "Sia, how many Luck Points would I need to strengthen my body enough to defeat a mid-class devil?" This idea had suddenly occurred to him. Recently, his energy had grown rapidly, approaching mid-class devil strength. However, his physical body remained a weak point. Even with the power of a "Blessing," it was still a mortal body at its core. Even Ais, an upper-class adventurer, would bleed if struck by his iron sword. "Hmm, given your current physical strength, it would require 100 Luck Points. As for energy, only 30 Luck Points are needed," Sia explained after a brief pause, her voice sweet as ever. "That's good news," Blake said with a nod, his steps lightening as he looked forward to his next ability update. --- The power of a "Blessing" extracts one's latent potential and amplifies it. For adventurers above Level 2, the improvements are exponential. If Blake's physical body could grow stronger, the effects of the "Blessing" would also increase, creating a synergy where the whole would surpass the sum of its parts. --- West Main Street Not far from the central plaza by Babel stood a modest two-story house. Blake arrived at the side of the residence. The house had a raised platform about the height of a person, upon which the building was constructed. To reach the door, one had to ascend a flight of stone stairs on the side. Climbing the steps, Blake reached the door, which was higher than the heads of the passersby below. Knocking on the door, he called out, "Hestia, I'm back." The moment his knock echoed, hurried footsteps could be heard from inside. Soon, the door swung open with a bang, and a beautiful figure threw herself into his arms, clutching his waist tightly with a sobbing voice. "Ugh~! Blake! You're finally back! I was so worried about you!" "Sorry for worrying you. But I'm fine. And look, I earned a lot of valis this time. Let's have a feast tonight," Blake said softly, embracing Hestia and breathing in her unique fragrance. Feeling the softness pressed against his abdomen, his expression softened to the extreme. "Blake! The money doesn't matter—what's important is your safety! I don't want you getting hurt just to earn money," Hestia said firmly, her delicate face filled with both seriousness and care. "I understand. Let's go inside," Blake replied with a gentle smile. Without arguing or explaining further, he led Hestia into the house and closed the door behind them.
