After pulling the 'Valkyrie Class Card' and gaining the ability to temporarily bestow the 'Hero Creation' skill,
Levi began considering how to maximize the card's utility. The primary goal, naturally, was to learn the correct way to write and combine the 24 Primordial Runes.
Then, Levi thought of the Loki Familia.
More precisely, he thought of their one to two expeditions each quarter.
The Loki Familia was very wealthy, with three Lv.6s, four Lv.5s, and nurous Lv.4s and Lv.3s. With collective effort, earning Valis was not a troubleso matter for them.
However, the Loki Familia was also very poor; often, after one expedition, it would take them a considerable amount of ti to accumulate enough funds for weapon repairs and potion expenses for the next one.
To put it more bluntly, the Loki Familia had resources, but they were very difficult to extract.
It was impossible for them to change their expedition frequency just because Orario had a new product. The quarterly expenditure on sparkling wine purchases would certainly be very limited.
Even the need for Ice-Fire Wine was not as high as imagined, as most of their Familia mbers were talented individuals with good potential.
But what if the charging was based on the number of expeditions?
Levi opened his mouth with a faint smile: "The so-called escort service ans our side dispatches a mber to accompany your Familia on expeditions, serving as a supporter and healer, and providing multiple services such as 'limb repair', 'shield blessings', 'combat power enhancent', and even 'accelerated ability value growth'."
"It's equivalent to one person doing everything all the sparkling wines can do."
"But the cost of hiring once is much cheaper than buying sparkling wine separately."
"As for the price, Captain Finn should have already seen it during the day: going to the Deep Floors is 100 million Valis, and if you stay for more than three days, an additional 50 million Valis will be charged for each extra day. For floors after the 49th, it's 300 million Valis for three days, with each additional day calculated at 200 million Valis."
Finn did not speak imdiately after hearing this, but calculated in his mind whether the escort service was worthwhile. He quickly concluded—it was very much worth it!
The Loki Familia was not a small Familia; even if their patron god pursued an elite path, they were still a large and influential organization with over 100 main combat mbers.
According to The Guild's sparkling wine prices, if each person took three sets of enhancent wine, enchantnt wine, and force field wine—which would actually be more—a single expedition would cost almost 1 billion Valis.
However, if they chose to have soone from the Hestia Familia accompany them, then just the blessings received by their mbers from the surface to the Deep Floors or the 49th Floor alone would completely make up the price.
What's more, the Hestia Familia's escort personnel would go down with them to floors beyond the 49th. That area, in the words of 'The Extraordinary Man' Raul, was "Hell"; if one's guard dropped even a little, they could be lost in the Dungeon forever.
Now, with a support who could heal, provide shields, and nd severed limbs, it was like having Airmid, the 'Vanadis Tevere' of the Dian Cecht Familia, accompany them on an expedition. Let alone a re 300 million Valis, the Loki Familia would spend 1 billion Valis even if they had to sell everything they owned.
It was just that the Dian Cecht Familia had been unwilling to send anyone in the past. Now, however, there was Levi Bright as an alternative.
Finn, as captain, was considering the gains and losses from the Familia's perspective, so he subconsciously overlooked a certain term Levi ntioned.
But Riveria and Gareth, standing by, although also high-ranking mbers of the Loki Familia who would consult each other and offer suggestions, at this mont, they instead showed expressions of astonishnt.
"If I didn't mishear just now..." Riveria began, her words tinged with difficulty, "You an, you can help others accelerate their ability value growth during combat?"
Reminded by his old friend, Finn also suddenly reacted.
He had bought a bottle of 1-star Fire Wine that afternoon and had a newly joined Familia mber take it according to the instructions. The effect was indeed excellent: consuming 170ml in half a day directly increased all ability values except Magic by 30 to 50 points. This was stronger than the effect of arduous training for half a month prior.
However, the pain endured during the process was not insignificant. In the words of the test subject, it was like being directly sprayed by a Lv.2 Hellhound, unable to die, yet unable to faint. They could only endure it.
Finn, for his part, was content with this. Strength was not easily obtained; if one didn't want to diligently train, they would simply have to suffer more hardships.
But what if the youth sitting opposite him still held a trump card?
He could not only accelerate his teammates' strength growth through sparkling wine, but also directly through a certain skill...
"Oh dear." Finn subconsciously bit his thumb, "Captain Levi, you've really put on the spot now."
If those brats in the Familia heard about this. To say nothing else, Ais would definitely act recklessly, and Bete and the Amazon sisters would most likely not remain composed. There were also Raul, Alise, and the others...
Even Finn himself felt a sudden surge of passion, wishing to imdiately finalize the escort service with the Hestia Familia and then go to the Dungeon to see if he had any untapped potential to discover.
Levi rely shrugged.
"Captain Finn can take his ti to consider. Coincidentally, during this period, I can also take my Familia mbers to resolve the compulsory quest issued by The Guild."
If Finn was willing to sign up for the escort service, then that would naturally be for the best. The Hestia Familia's inco would increase slightly each quarter. And incidentally, he could also clear 'Udaeus', the Floor Boss ntioned in Main Quest 2, and 'Balor', who would likely appear later.
Conversely, it didn't really matter. The Loki Familia was indeed one of Orario's top factions, but there were other Familias of similar or slightly lower caliber.
For instance, the Ganesha Familia, with whom he had a better relationship; if they were willing to be the first to purchase the escort service, similar to how they bought the quarterly healing package before, Levi would not hesitate to help them cultivate one or even several Lv.6s.
Regardless of the outco, he would always profit. It was just a matter of earning a little more or a little less.
Seeing Levi's calm and unconcerned deanor, Finn, the old fox, naturally realized that the escort service was a so-called seller's market. Once the first Familia to try it tasted its benefits, it would quickly beco sought after.
Given this...
The Pallum Braver exchanged a glance with Riveria and Gareth beside him, then spoke:"I've already made up my mind. Our Loki Familia will take your Familia's first escort service!"
