A Huge Harvest from Trading; Hestia's Courage

Upon closer reflection, Gray Wolf's attitude is actually quite normal!

After all, for Gray Wolf, all his inventions were high-tech creations made to catch sheep.

Since it has been proven that those inventions cannot catch sheep, then to him, these so-called inventions are nothing more than a bunch of failed and defective products.

Now, all he needs to do is use those failed and defective products (for Uncle Wolf, an invention that can't catch sheep is a failed product) to exchange for all sorts of different kinds of mutton from other worlds.

For him, this deal was an absolute steal!

And so, a "unequal" platonic transaction that excited the group members and satisfied Gray Wolf proceeded harmoniously!

These guys...

After watching for a while, Wu Tong finally understood why these guys in the group were suddenly chatting so happily!

Using a pile of worthless mutton to exchange for some revolutionary technologies with miraculous effects.

If you don't take the initiative for something this good, then you're just crazy!

After learning about the current state of the Dimensional Chat Group, Wu Tong enthusiastically joined this "trade of waste for treasure" Feast.

Although most of Gray Wolf's inventions were useless to Wu Tong.

However, the act of "wool-pulling" is an absolute instinct ingrained in the genes of the Descendants of Yan Huang. Even Wu Tong is not immune to it, so Wu Tong naturally has to join in!

Moreover, and more importantly, making a deal with Gray Wolf can leave a deep impression on Gray Wolf, making it easier to make another deal later.

After all, although Wu Tong looked down on many of Gray Wolf's inventions, Wu Tong never doubted Gray Wolf's inventive abilities.

Therefore, Wu Tong is still happy to buy a good deal from this kind of "genius (changeable)".

As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.

There will inevitably be times when we need Gray Wolf's help in the future. When that happens, the good impression we have now will bring us great convenience!

In short, making a deal with Gray Wolf is practically a win-win situation:

Not only did they get an interesting invention, but they also made a good relationship with Gray Wolf, and most importantly, they didn't suffer any losses at all...

How could Wu Tong miss out on such a windfall?

Thus, after Wu Tong joined, this trading Feast quickly reached its peak!

(Group member: The wolf is coming!!! Trade quickly, or it'll be gone in no time!)

Others: Oh my god, have they started rolling yet? Whatever, if you roll, I'll roll too...

Half an hour later.

Wu Tong twirled the Weather Cube he had just acquired in the trade with satisfaction, recounting the various Uncle Wolf inventions he had obtained through a trade (for free).

I have to say, making a deal with Uncle Wolf is awesome.

Wu Tong only gave up some sheep Spirit Beast and ordinary mutton—worthless things—in exchange for a lot of interesting little gadgets.

Things like: Obedient Broad Beans, Combination Machine, Mushroom Mine, Bubble Machine, Brainwave Instrument, Sky Wolf, Weather Cube... all of these were collected by Wu Tong!

Although these props were not of much use to Wu Tong.

However, if you use it for fun and to entertain yourself, it can be quite interesting.

Overall, Wu Tong is very satisfied with the outcome of this transaction!

(Other group members: Hehe... We are too, extremely satisfied... Welcome to visit again next time, Uncle Wolf, there's plenty of mutton...)

Thus, with everyone involved planning ahead but not being caught off guard, the group quickly wiped out all of Gray Wolf's inventions.

Afterwards, Gray Wolf left a message saying that he was going to do some more inventions, and then, with more mutton than he could ever eat in his lifetime, he logged off to find his wife and children to eat mutton with, and incidentally do some scientific research!

Just then, a certain Blue Ribbon Goddess finally finished reading the group files recommended by the Group Leader.

(As for why we're looking at the group files instead of having the Group Leader or members explain it...)

Hmm... All I can say is that Uncle Wolf's inventions are just too amazing.

In that situation, everyone was so busy taking advantage of the situation that they didn't have time to pay attention to Hestia, so she had to go see for herself...

Blue Ribbon Goddess: So that's how it is... There are worlds beyond worlds...

Blue Ribbon Goddess: Endless Void... Myriad Realms... Superpowers... Gods... Technology...

Blue Ribbon Goddess: This is all... absolutely amazing!

The DanMachi World.

Hestia remained in the abandoned church, her eyes shining as she stared at the Virtual Screen in front of her, a screen that only she could see.

Endless Void... Myriad Realms... Dimensional Chat Group... and all those fascinating stories...

This is so much fun!

Hestia had no idea that she had just been driven out of her Familia Residence by Hephaestus.

The next second, an incredible opportunity was presented to us!

O(≧▽≦)O.

Hahaha... I'm so amazing! I really am the goddess of Schicksal!

Fifi (Hephaestus), you didn't expect that, did you?

Today you discard me like trash, but tomorrow you'll be begging for my attention...

So you dare call me a freeloader? Wait till I get all those children from other worlds and bring them into my familia, then I'll let you see what I'm made of, and you'll be so envious. Let's see if you dare say anything bad about me then...

And that wretched, barren Loki, he dared to mock me the other day! Just you wait, after a while, I'll show you what I'm capable of. Even if you beg me, I won't let you off the hook...

Hey-hey...

As Hestia thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh.

That silly look of his clearly shows he's daydreaming: he's already acquired a familiar, and he's successfully showing off to his fellow gods, attracting a bunch of envious and jealous stares...

As for whether one can obtain an excellent family.

Having already joined the Dimensional Chat Group and having over twenty worlds backing her up, Hestia had absolutely no worries.

Let's set aside for now the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, the Pathstriders, Kamen Rider World —high-quality individuals who possess heroic will, are able to firmly uphold their beliefs, and follow their chosen path.

Just the Demon Slayer Corps from the Demon Slayer World, the Genshin from the Genshin Impact World, the Valkyrie from the Honkai World... these people with strong aspirations and extraordinary talents are already exceptionally outstanding!

These people with brilliant souls would be considered unparalleled talents, fiercely sought after by the gods, if they were in Orario.

That's why, after having Dimensional Chat Group and learning about the situation in other worlds, Hestia no longer cared much about recruiting her own people.

For Hestia, such talents, whom even the gods could only dream of, were not so rare.

(PS: Hestia is currently in the period after being expelled from the Familia by Hephaestus, and has not yet suffered the blow of failed recruitment, so she does not know the difficulty of recruiting Familias...)

In short, just think of her as a confident college student who has just graduated and hasn't yet experienced the harsh realities of life.

Blue Ribbon Goddess: Hehe... Everyone, are you interested in joining my Hestia Familia?

Passerby:...

Gentleman Sword of Mount Hua:...

Fallen Angel:...

Beiju:...

Don't Bully Young and Poor:...

Dust Leaf:...

Dragon King Spews Water:...

Everyone was speechless upon hearing Hestia's statement.

It was only because they knew what kind of person Hestia was that, otherwise, such a statement would have been immediately seen as a provocation by everyone.

Even if people don't really care, it's still a bit puzzling.

How could Hestia, after knowing so much about them, still so brazenly extend such an invitation?

Let's not even talk about those people who are already powerful enough to look down on the power that comes with the blessing.

Even an ordinary person in the DanMachi World would probably look down on the Hestia Familia, a family that is so poor that it has problems with food, housing, and logistics.

If they were ordinary people, wouldn't it be better for them to join other clans?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: Huh?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: What does everyone mean by this?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: I'm sincerely inviting everyone.

Hestia felt a pang of panic as she looked at the ellipses in the messages sent by the crowd.

A sudden sense of foreboding washed over her, as if something was about to happen that was about to exceed her expectations.

Fallen Angel: Please, Goddess, before you ask someone if they want to join your ranks, don't you think about what benefits you can bring to them?

Bu Yao Bi Lian: Exactly! If there's no benefit, who would bother playing with you for no reason?

Bu Yao Bi Lian: You should know I'm making tens of millions every minute, okay? How could I have time to go to that so-called clan?

Passerby: Yes, Goddess, I have to maintain peace in various worlds (travel in various worlds). If you want me to join your familia, you should at least give me some benefits that correspond to this responsibility, right?

Passerby: You know, if there's no benefit to it, people just won't be interested in it at all.

Dragon King Spews Water: Cough cough... Actually, I'm quite curious too, Hestia, what benefits can you offer?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: Hmph, isn't it just a benefit?

Blue Ribbon Goddess: I'm a goddess, of course I know what benefits are...

Upon hearing Zhang Chulan and Gabriel's words, Hestia snorted coldly and immediately prepared to offer what she could promise.

Before he could even utter a word, the words got stuck in his throat.

Oops, wait a minute...

Benefit...

It seems she really can't give them this.

Strength?

The group members' abilities were simply too weak to even consider the power the blessing brought, not to mention that there were several people in the group whom they couldn't even defeat themselves.

Wealth?

Stop joking. She's having trouble even eating right now, let alone giving any wealth to her clan.

Safety?

With divine power sealing her off, she's just an ordinary person who can't die. Does a sense of security really have anything to do with her?

Reputation?

emmm...

It seems they don't need it; in their own world, they're already world-famous...

Residence?

Stop joking, okay?

Should the group members abandon their homes in their own worlds and live with her in this abandoned church?

"Woo~"

As Hestia pondered, her originally spirited and arrogant expression faded.

In the blink of an eye, he gradually became depressed and his mood also dropped.

It even let out a soft cry, like a small animal, without realizing it.

It sounds like a poor, abandoned puppy, making it all the more pitiful.

After a while.

March 7th: Huh? Miss Hestia? Why aren't you saying anything?

On March 7th, seeing that Hestia's words suddenly stopped, he couldn't help but urge her to ask.

In her Little March of life, she hated two kinds of people the most: riddle-makers and people who only say half of what they mean.

(Star: Why?)

Xing: Is it because these two types of people will make your already not-so-bright brain even worse?

Dan Heng / Himeko / Old Yang and others: Pfft... (trying not to laugh)

March 7th: Go to hell, you baby star!

March 7th: (╬◣д◢)!

Bu Yao Bi Lian: A subtle smile. JPG!

Dragon King Spews Water: A Bizarre Smile. JPG!

Don't Bully Young and Poor: A kind and honest smile. JPG!

Passerby: A fake smile. JPG!

Dust Leaf: A Polite Smile. JPG!

Upon seeing the March 7th message, everyone immediately posted various smiling emojis!

Those who knew the truth naturally understood why Hestia had stopped speaking:

It's nothing more than suddenly realizing that there's nothing to give, and then falling into a state of self-isolation.

They had anticipated this situation, so they weren't too surprised when they saw it.

Blue Ribbon Goddess:...

Blue Ribbon Goddess: I'm so sorry, I... I don't seem to have anything good to offer you...

Blue Ribbon Goddess: But...

Before Hestia could finish speaking, Gabriel spoke up.

Fallen Angel: No need, thank you. I'm sorry, Miss Hestia, since you don't have any benefits to offer...

Fallen Angel: Then I have no interest in your kin.

"Bu Yao Bi Lian: Something that doesn't bring any benefit? Then forget it."

Dragon King Spews Water: emmm...

Several group members with rather unpleasant personalities, driven by their perverse sense of humor and desire for amusement, were led astray.

Soon, they were all laughing so hard that Hestia was almost crying.

Seeker of the Dao: Alright, stop teasing Hestia, she's about to cry.

Seeing this, Wu Tong couldn't help but find it amusing and tried to stop him.

If they continue talking like that, Hestia might actually start crying.

On their very first day, the newcomer made everyone laugh until they cried... You guys are something else!

Blue Ribbon Goddess: I didn't cry!

Hestia sniffed as she read Wu Tong's message, feeling grateful to Wu Tong.

But he still stubbornly argued back.
