After this incident, Hyacine and Barbara finally fully understood the mechanism of the system tasks.
Although the total number of people to be saved needed to reach 10 million, in reality, it did not actually require the girls to save them one by one; other methods would also work.
Saving lives counts, and saving souls also counts. Protecting people from monsters counts, and eliminating powerful monsters also counts.
Just like this time, Hyacine used her so-called "going berserk" to successfully eliminate the red-haired Monster Person, Ryu, as well as the main body of the Fallen Spirit hidden deep within the Dungeon, cutting off the future of these monsters.
Therefore, her salvation count skyrocketed, increasing by as many as 500,000, which was enough to save the two girls many years of hard work.
But problems also arose... With the Monster Person and the Fallen Spirit both gone, where else would major events come from in Orario? Even if one major event added 500,000, they would still need twenty of them, right?
The danmachi novels seem to only have 21 volumes now, and they are told from the perspective of the protagonist, Bell, which simply does not meet the requirements!
"In other words, if I want to complete the task, do I have to cast my gaze beyond Orario?"
Since the Fallen Spirit had been eliminated, the crises hidden in this city would naturally be greatly reduced; aside from a certain hidden evil god, there didn't seem to be any major crises left?
But looking outside, there were also significant crises! For example, the story of the theatrical version, subjugating the Scorpion of Calamity, and stopping Artemis's bow and arrow from destroying the human world. And there was the final villain of the novel, the world-destroying Black Dragon.
Setting aside other things, these two major events were truly "saving the world" matters; if they could be realized, the task progress would inevitably see unprecedented growth.
"But for now, I should just stay in this city and focus on leveling up... after all, I need to reach level 5!"
However, speaking of leveling up, Hyacine could not help but close her eyes, carefully feeling the Falna on her back.
Although it was still in a state visible only to herself, the content was displayed before the girl's eyes as if it were "As I Have Written."
"Hmm, hmm, besides Strength and Endurance, the rest of the stats have all significantly improved!"
"Especially Magic, which even reached SSS1999; is this the limit for a level 1 Adventurer? Or is it the limit for this level?"
The girls did not actually hold much hope for Strength and Endurance; after all, they were not warrior-type people, and it was impossible to go up and fight hand-to-hand with melee weapons in every battle.
But Agility, Dexterity, and Magic had indeed reached an unprecedented level, especially Magic.
Did this mean that all of Aegler's attacks were equivalent to magic in this world? And Barbara's Resurrection Magic was also nothing ordinary.
"As expected of me, the numbers are still rising!"
Even with system tasks, one could exploit bugs; as long as one constantly cast healing magic on people around them, the number would occasionally show +1, as Adventurers often had internal injuries they themselves could not discover.
There were even some Adventurers in training who were prone to getting injured during training, which naturally could become material for the girls to farm data.
As long as they reduced the healing output, Hyacine and Barbara could even cast healing magic unconsciously, and could even do it while sleeping.
Therefore, the number in the task bar would show +1 every few seconds, resulting in thousands of gains per day.
"Alright, let's go find Loki!" "It's time for us to level up too~"
Barbara, next door to Hyacine, also sat up from her bed at the same moment and came to the windowsill to admire the street scene of Orario.
"Resurrect, Alfia!"
She casually cast Resurrection Magic towards the Tower of Babel outside the window, but nothing happened; it was like a support in Summoner's Rift suddenly missing a skill because the teammate was in an untargetable state.
"As expected, there is still no way to resurrect people who have been dead for too long... I must pay attention to this in the future, otherwise, I won't be able to use Resurrection Magic in time."
Just like in the game, Barbara could not see her own resurrection cooldown time and could only determine the exact time for resurrection by counting silently in her heart for 15 minutes.
The two girls opened the door and immediately saw Aiz standing at the entrance; the other party seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Aiz? Do you have something you need to find us for?"
Aiz looked a bit embarrassed, and even her face was flushed with a hint of red.
"It's just, I wanted..." "Are you going to see Loki to update?" "I want to see your... status..."
The further she spoke, the more embarrassed Aiz's expression became, because she knew that asking about others' abilities was an improper thing to do, but Hyacine and Barbara were completely different.
Both of them possessed a wind that felt familiar to her, and it even once made Aiz feel the aura of her mother, so she was very curious...
Just how big was the gap between herself and these two?
Perhaps from the improvement in their status, she could see some clues; after all, Hyacine and Barbara had made quite a splash yesterday... One had cleared the Dungeon. The other had resurrected the dead.
Either one of the two was not something an ordinary person could see, so Aiz really could not suppress the curiosity in her heart.
"Since that's the case, then come with us!"
It just so happened that Hyacine and Barbara also intended to level up, so taking Aiz with them was not impossible.
Ten minutes later. Aiz stood in Loki's room with dull eyes, her spirit already flown to the nine heavens.
Aiz certainly did not see Hyacine and Barbara's status; after all, their backs were shielded, and even Loki could not see it.
But from the girls' conversation with Loki just now, Aiz was able to learn an unbelievable thing... They actually leveled up?
How long had they been in Orario? Why was the speed of leveling up so fast?
Aiz had many questions in her heart and wanted to get to the bottom of this secret, but she was stopped directly by Loki's gaze.
"No, no, Ais-tan." "Don't forget their identity; you cannot reveal their abilities casually."
Aiz was disappointed...
"Ugh! No means no!"
I have to say, Aiz's little expression was indeed very cute; she truly deserved to be evaluated in the original work as someone "with a beauty not inferior to a goddess."
That is why Loki cared so much about Aiz!
But now, it seemed two people had arrived whom Loki cared about even more than Aiz? In that case, her love would just have to be transferred~
"It's okay!" "If Aiz wants to know, we don't mind at all~" "After all, Aiz is our good friend!" "Don't you think so, Aiz-bao?"
The girls' smiles were like a beam of light illuminating Aiz... And it was at this very moment, task + 1.
