Chapter 58 Let's deal with the Apollo Familia!
Back on the ground, Roy and Ryu, as usual, went to the guild headquarters to exchange their magic stones for money.
Today's harvest: 2.42 million fali!
The fragment of Goliath's magic stone was in pretty good condition and sold for nearly 1.5 million. Another large bag of gold coins was placed in front of Roy and Ryu.
Every day, the adventurers around them watched the two of them take away a huge bag of gold coins. They were dumbfounded. What kind of money-making speed was this? It was even more exaggerated than the production line of the mint.
That's for sure.
Roy and Liu may appear to be just two people, but in reality, there are probably five, six, or even seven or eight people working together.
The two of them were in charge of rampaging through the dungeon, while several Thunder Avatars picked up the loot from behind. These free laborers didn't have to share any money, and they were having a blast.
Leave the guild headquarters.
Walking alongside Ryu, Roy's eyes darted around, and he deliberately sighed, "So slow, when are we ever going to pay off this debt?"
After a week, their earnings were around eight million falies, plus the extra income from the Goliath magic stone. However, Goliath can't be farmed every day; there's a one-week regeneration interval.
Unless you go down to the 20th floor or higher to find even rarer materials, earning 700,000 to 800,000 a day is the limit.
It will take at least three to four months to raise 60 million fiat currency, and even longer if there are unforeseen circumstances.
Going down to the twentieth floor means that Liu will need to fill in the gaps in Roy's knowledge of that floor, which will take a considerable amount of time. In any case, it will take at least three months to pay off the debt of 60 million Faris.
The elven girl paused in her steps.
Roy's words successfully caught Liu's attention, and a hint of guilt surfaced in the depths of her eyes.
This matter had nothing to do with Roy. The other party had already done more than enough by helping her wipe out the Rudra clan, yet she still wanted to drag the other party into doing hard labor.
Liu's face was serious. "You don't need to come with me. You can focus on doing your own thing."
Roy already has the strength of LV.2. As long as he avoids particularly dangerous secret realms and is extra cautious, he won't be in any danger...
Suddenly, Liu lowered her head in frustration. She had almost forgotten that Roy would deliberately go to dangerous places, and without her by his side, who knew what would happen?
"That won't do. I don't like giving up halfway." Roy shook his head and smiled.
Roy's words made Ryu feel even more guilty.
"Actually, I have a safer and faster way to make money. I wonder if you'd be interested?" Roy's lips curled up as he stared intently at Ryu.
Ryu keenly caught a glint of danger in Roy's eyes. "How could I not be interested?"
"cannot!"
Roy smiled and said, his domineering tone leaving even Ryu, a LV.4, feeling helpless.
Ryu sighed, "I'll only listen for a moment."
"Let's deal with Apollo's Kin!"
"—What do you mean?"
Roy's next words nearly made Ryu choke on her own saliva, causing her to cough violently.
Roy lowered his voice, "Through the War Games, seize the Apollo Familia's possessions!"
"???"
Liu's rosy lips parted slightly as she looked at the boy beside her in disbelief, as if asking, "Do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'safety'?"
The Apollo clan is no pushover.
As seen in the battle in the dungeon, the Apollo Familia was not as disorganized as the Rudra Familia.
Many members of the Apollo Familia were forced to join. The top-down authoritarian system effectively controlled the family's strength, making it like a strictly controlled army.
In a war game on the ground, the two of them would have no chance of winning against hundreds of people.
To avoid being overheard, Roy leaned close to Liu's long, pointed ear and whispered, "Let's do this first... then that... and finally try something different..."
Roy's warm breath brushed against the elf girl's ears, making her pointed ears seem to blush. Liu gave him a reproachful look.
But after hearing Roy's plan, Ryu didn't care about such a small matter, her sky-blue eyes widening.
She suddenly recalled that a week ago, Roy had pulled Remer aside and they were discussing something. Roy's adventurer information had not been updated yet.
When fighting Goliath, he pretended that his magic required chanting.
Everything seemed to connect at that moment.
It's likely that on that day in the square, when provoked by the Apollo clan, Roy had already begun to devise this plan in his mind, intending to deal with them thoroughly.
This guy really can't stand to suffer the slightest loss. If he gets punched, he'll retaliate tenfold or a hundredfold!
Ryu couldn't help but feel sorry for the Apollo Familia; getting involved with Roy was definitely the thing Roy would regret the most.
"Are you really sure? What if we fail..." Ryu looked at Roy with complicated emotions.
"It's never a bad thing to give it a try, what if they take the bait?" Roy said with a chuckle.
"Anyway, the Apollo Familia isn't any better. They force others to join the Familia and even injure passersby. These people deserve to die. We might as well let their accumulated wealth contribute to our cause."
"That's true, but—"
Ryu's expression was conflicted; it was really hard to justify initiating a war game for money.
"That debt of sixty million faris..."
"I'll think about it!"
Roy smiled knowingly at Ryu's reaction; adventurers are risking their lives, and no one knows when they might meet with misfortune.
Ryukyu was no exception.
She worried that with her debts unpaid, the goddess Astraea would be left destitute on the streets, and she also wanted to quickly find time to eliminate those connected to the dark factions…
Roy didn't have the patience to waste three months on this matter, and neither did Ryu.
Ryu walked behind Roy. Her hesitation had another reason: this was a matter for the Astrea Familia, and there was no reason for Roy to sacrifice himself.
In case it fails...
At that moment, Ryu looked up and noticed a hint of madness in Roy's profile.
Ryu seemed to understand something.
She was overthinking it; revenge and paying off debts were not the driving forces behind the other party's actions.
The root cause is that Roy wanted to do it this way.
Because the adventure is there!
Realizing that Roy wasn't choosing to sacrifice himself, Ryu felt much less burdened and, almost unconsciously, agreed, "Okay, I agree."
"Here, I'm going to the guild headquarters."
Roy's eyes lit up, and he tossed the large bag of gold coins he was carrying directly to Liu, afraid that she might change her mind. He then dashed into the crowd and disappeared in a flash.
Liu stood there, holding the large bag of gold coins, filled with regret. What was she doing?
The desire to do something for Roy and the reluctance to refuse him were intertwined with the guilt of worrying that Roy would sacrifice himself for the Familia.
She had never experienced such complex emotions before.
Roy rushed back to the guild headquarters, grabbed Remer, and demanded, "Update the adventurer data for me!"
