Compared to the Hestia Familia and the Hephaestus Familia, which were dripping with oil, the Loki Familia, having just emerged from a fiscal deficit, indeed looked like a bunch of paupers.
Finn did not feel embarrassed about this in the slightest.
He immediately stood up and performed a Pallum salute. "The Loki Familia will take Lord Levi's assistance to heart."
Riveria and Gareth also rose in succession.
However, Loki...
This red-haired goddess, although she didn't have much interaction with Thrud—or rather, Levi standing behind Thrud—was, after all, a deity who had existed for tens of millions of years.
She had long seen through the personality of the counterpart. At this moment, her originally narrowed eyes opened slightly.
"To concede such a large profit, you must have something you need the Loki Familia's help with, right?"
Thrud smiled faintly and did not deny it. "As expected, I cannot hide it from Lord Loki."
"The opening of the garment factory is merely to provide a safety net for what I want to do in the future." The blonde Spirit girl did not continue with her previous topic. "The Hestia Familia's true industry, aside from the 'Ice and Fire Wine' entrusted to The Guild for sale and the share in the Melen Shipyard, is actually the grand bathhouse that will be open to the public in one week."
Loki was somewhat surprised. "Bathhouse? Are you sure this business is viable?"
Orario had free bathhouses specifically for Falna holders. Under normal circumstances, unless some special services were provided, no fool would pay to bathe.
After all, no matter how easily adventurers obtained Valis, it was still earned by hacking at monsters one blade at a time.
Thrud, or rather Levi, naturally understood this point.
The smile on her face remained unchanged as she said, "What the Hestia Familia is opening naturally won't be any ordinary bathhouse."
"The bathwater inside the bathhouse, even in the most basic version, will possess effects equivalent to High Potions, only the time to take effect will be correspondingly prolonged."
"The second and third-level versions can slowly increase the Ability Stats of Lv.1 and Lv.2 adventurers. As for the specific growth magnitude, according to the main body's experimental data, calculated based on soaking for half an hour a day, in the initial half-month, it can grant a growth of 10 to 20 points in all Ability Stats daily."
"Even without any exercise during the bathing period, the various Ability Stats of a Falna holder can reach their own limits in two months at the fastest, or one year at the slowest."
Hearing this, Loki, Finn, and the other two were actually unable to sit still.
Items that boosted adventurers' Ability Stats, namely the 'Ice and Fire Wine', had already begun to be sold externally by the Hestia Familia before. It was just that because the price was too exorbitant, only those second-generation rich kids were willing to buy in large quantities.
Now, Levi had gone even further and launched a bathhouse that could improve Ability Stats.
Loki patted her chest, which didn't have much flesh, and thought she could guess that the other party was targeting the sinking market of Orario.
He intended to fish for money from the Lv.1 and Lv.2 adventurers who occupied the largest scale in numbers.
However, the very next second...
Without giving the few people a chance to speak at all, Thrud opened her mouth again. "The fourth-level version is not aimed at Lv.3 adventurers, or rather, it is aimed at all adventurers. While retaining the recovery effects and Ability Stat increase effects, it can also slowly expand the potential of Falna holders, or even ordinary people."
"Similarly, with half an hour every day, Lv.1s and ordinary people who have not been engraved with Falna can raise the upper limit of attributes like Strength, Endurance, and Dexterity to 700 points in at most two months. Lv.2s need half a year, Lv.3s one year, Lv.4s two years... In short, the higher the current Level, the more time it takes."
"Hiss—"
Hearing this, even someone as knowledgeable as Loki subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air.
The corners of Finn's and the others' mouths twitched twice.
Ability Stats at 700 points corresponded to B-rank.
It sounded like it wasn't high, but in reality, when many High-Class Adventurers leveled up, their main attribute was just around 700 points.
Other sub-attributes could mostly only be maintained at D, or even lower.
And this could already be counted as outstanding talent.
But now, Thrud—or rather Levi standing behind this blonde Spirit—was telling them that the Hestia Familia could completely mass-produce adventurers of a similar level!
A helpless bitter smile appeared on Finn's face. "Lord Thrud, if what you just said were to be announced, the entire Orario, no, the entire Lower World would go crazy because of it."
"However, it won't." Thrud crossed her arms, her tone indifferent. "I didn't intend to set a very high price for the bathhouse fees. The fees for soaking once for half an hour in the Basic, Primary, and Intermediate models are unified at 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000 Valis respectively. The Advanced model will be a bit more expensive, 10,000 Valis. But compared to the improvement of one's own potential, I imagine no fool would find this amount of money expensive."
Finn, Riveria, and Gareth thought secretly in their hearts: 'Indeed.'
Even for ordinary people who had just obtained Falna, wandering around the 1st to 5th Floors, they could earn anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 Valis after a day.
Deducting equipment maintenance fees and food expenses, they could steadily improve a round of Ability Stats every two or three days. No matter how one thought about it, it was not a losing business.
And once their strength increased, they could naturally go down to deeper floors and earn even more Valis through the dropped Magic Stones.
Eventually accumulating enough to level up to Lv.2 with all Ability Stats at 700 points.
Loki spoke up at this moment. "So, in the plan you conceived, what kind of role will my children, or rather I, play?"
Hearing her question, Finn and the other three also cast their gazes back to the girl opposite them.
Discussing business, Thrud sat up slightly straighter.
"As the saying goes, 'Even fragrant wine fears deep alleys.'"
"Although the Hestia Familia's bathhouse is opening for the first time and can accumulate customers slowly through word of mouth, the main body still hopes to speed up the progress a little."
"Therefore, when the next Denatus convenes, the Hestia Familia hopes that the Loki Familia—of course, not only your esteemed faction—will use the prestige accumulated over these years to endorse us."
"In return, in addition to the previously mentioned high-rank Shihakusho, the four bathhouse pools for the first year will also be completely open to the Loki Familia for free."
Loki: "..."
To be honest, she was truly startled by Levi's generosity.
The Loki Familia had a large population, among which Lv.1 and Lv.2 adventurers accounted for the majority.
Although she prioritized better potential limits when recruiting members, not everyone could awaken a bug-like skill that accelerated Ability Stat growth.
A Lv.1 or Lv.2 often needed to train for several years to accumulate enough Feats and Ability Stats to level up.
But now, with the Hestia Familia's bathhouse, in the coming year, the backbone of the Loki Familia would inevitably usher in a wave of crazy skyrocketing growth.
