Just Tell Me How Many Pounds of Gold It'll Take

After watching Hestia leave, Loki couldn't help but say, "Did that girl go to another world? She's with people from that world, and they've even become her familiars!"

As a goddess, she could naturally sense the situation of the group Hestia brought. Were they just otherworldly people like the guys who came before?

He's actually come with Hestia now? That's quite unexpected. And the guy leading the group is really something else; if that woman saw him, she'd probably explode in anger.

"That person is so strong!" Just then, Ais also spoke up; she could sense a threat emanating from Li Yu.

Hearing her words, Lefiya was somewhat surprised. Very strong? How come she couldn't tell? Lefiya couldn't help but wonder to herself, Li Yu is fair-skinned and looks very handsome, but is he really that strong?

Loki, hearing Ais's words, squinted at the direction Li Yu and the others had left, and said, "He's too dazzling. That shorty really got incredibly lucky. I wonder what kind of agreement they reached with over there to send over a guy with such terrifying talent!"

In Loki's eyes, Li Yu's talent was overflowing, which was extremely enviable. She really wanted to snatch Li Yu away, but she knew that it was impossible.

Li Yu wasn't from this world, and that world was far from simple. Realizing this, Loki could only abandon the idea.

After all, even if we manage to snatch him, we won't win his heart, especially since he's such an outrageous guy. If he grows up and harbors resentment, it will be a disaster for the entire Familia.

Ais watched Li Yu and the others leave, silently listening to Loki's assessment of Li Yu. Perhaps she could ask him for advice? After all, visitors from another world must have some things she didn't know, right?

Li Yu paid no attention to what was happening behind him. Now, led by Hestia, the group passed through the bustling streets. At this moment, Hestia angrily told Li Yu about that guy.

"Let me tell you, that red-haired, squinty-eyed guy just now was no good. She's Loki, a treacherous, cunning, and heartless bastard." Hestia began to gossip about Loki.

Upon hearing the name, everyone already understood, but Loki was actually a woman? That's quite an eye-opener, the legendary goddess of mischief!

At the same time, everyone learned that the other party's Familia was one of the strongest factions in Orario, which made Hestia even more indignant.

"It's just that I came down early. If I had come down earlier, I'd probably be the strongest Familia in Orario. What a flat-chested monster!" Hestia had made up her mind. Just wait, her Familia would surpass her sooner or later!

She'll definitely make that bastard laugh at her then. So what if he came down earlier than her? He still got surpassed by her! Just thinking about surpassing Loki one day makes her incredibly happy!

"If you had come down earlier, you wouldn't have met us. We might have met other gods instead!" Li Yu poured cold water on Hestia's daydreaming without any mercy.

Hearing this, Hestia snapped back to reality and exclaimed, "Oh right! If I had come down earlier, I really wouldn't have run into everyone. Thank goodness!"

If she missed out on Li Yu, she would be depressed for the rest of her life, especially thinking about how Li Yu missed him, how he joined another Familia, and how she could only watch him drool in envy.

Just thinking about it is terrifying! Thank goodness, at this moment Hestia is incredibly grateful that she only came down now because she was too lazy, and grateful that she encountered a spatial rift and was thrown into another world!

Li Yu was too lazy to even comment on Hestia, who was always daydreaming. As they slowly approached the city center, the number of adventurers around them increased.

There were all sorts of people there, and everyone noticed that most of them were demi-humans, wearing heavy armor or carrying incredibly exaggerated weapons.

Without exception, all of these showcased the characteristics of this other world. Of course, Li Yu and his group were also quite distinctive, as they were all wearing the same clothes.

Because... those are school uniforms! Such attire is quite conspicuous in another world, and coupled with their considerable aura, it drew even more attention to this group.

Apart from Li Yu, all the other classmates are now Iv3, which is considered elite level in Orario and core members in other Familia.

With Hestia leading the group through the streets in such a conspicuous manner, it would be strange if they didn't attract curious glances.

As more and more people turned their attention to them, the students behind him dropped their country bumpkin expressions and focused on the road ahead as they hurried on.

Ignoring the curious stares around them, everyone followed Hestia and finally arrived at the foot of the Babel Tower; they had finally reached their destination.

Upon arriving at the guild entrance, Hestia hurriedly addressed the group, "We're here. This is the guild. From now on, you can sell and process any items you obtain in the Dungeon here. Come on, I'll take you to register your Familia and get your rank certified."

As she spoke, she quickly walked forward. Li Yu and the others stood below the Babel Tower, looking up at the tower that stretched straight to the sky, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

In modern society, people are used to seeing skyscrapers, so seeing such a tall tower in another world evoked a unique feeling. The group didn't stay there for long before following Hestia into the guild.

The guild was rather quiet at this time, as it was midday and not many adventurers lingered there. Hestia's arrival with so many people instantly drew everyone's attention.

Li Yu and the others followed Hestia into the hall. The interior space suddenly opened up, and the rows of counters, railings, and uniformed staff sitting in the back gave Li Yu a sense of déjà vu, as if they had entered a bank.

As everyone walked forward, they curiously surveyed the guild's interior. Hestia, having reached a counter, stood on tiptoe and called out to the people inside, "I'm here to register for Familia!"

Upon hearing Hestia's words, the clerk behind the counter looked up. This person seemed to be an elf? But not quite. Short light green hair, glasses, and a rather capable appearance.

She looked up and was momentarily stunned to see Hestia and the entourage behind her, but her excellent professionalism allowed her to quickly regain her composure and say, "Hello, esteemed deity, registering Familia requires you to provide your divine name and the design of your Familia's emblem."

Although she was shocked that this unfamiliar God had brought so many people to register, she quickly got into work mode.

"I am Hestia... Familia crest..." Ah, she really hadn't designed it. At this moment, Hestia turned her head and looked at Li Yu and the others in frustration. Then she noticed the school badge on Li Yu and the others' school uniforms, which immediately made her eyes light up.

"This is the badge. Please register it for me." Hestia made a decision on the spot: wouldn't it be better to just use Li Yu and the others' school badges as their Familia badges?

The school uniform badges on Li Yu and his friends were actually quite nice. Seeing this guy's actions, everyone was speechless, but Li Yu didn't care about such things.

It doesn't matter what you use; you can just use the school badge, or if that doesn't work, you can just draw a lazy sheep on it. What does it matter?

Upon hearing Hestia's words, the half-elf girl glanced at the badges in front of Li Yu and the others, then nodded and said, "No problem, please wait a moment while I register you."

After saying that, she busied herself. Hestia... it was this goddess! She knew who it was the moment she heard the name Hestia. She hadn't expected that Hestia had also descended to the mortal realm.

As a guild employee, memorizing the names of God from various Pantheon is a required course for them, and she is no exception. Therefore, as long as the other party mentions a name, she can basically remember the other party's identity immediately.

After quickly filling out the form for Hestia, she spoke to Hestia again, "Lord Hestia, the form is complete. Next, I need to register your Familia members. Are all these people your Familia members?"

Hestia nodded, then said smugly, "That's right, they are all members of my Familia, 45 people in total. Three others went elsewhere and didn't come; those don't need to be registered."

There were 42 people in Li Yu's class, plus Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others, making a total of 45. However, it didn't matter whether those three registered or not, as long as they were recorded, that was enough. Many Familia did the same.

"Understood. Next, please come forward and state your names and levels so we can record them." The girl greeted Li Yu and his group.

Upon hearing this, Hestia immediately pulled Li Yu forward and said, "This is Li Yu, Iv4, the leader of my Hestia Familia."

Hestia is now so eager to register Li Yu that he will be the first one registered. Li Yu doesn't need to do anything; Hestia has already taken care of everything.

Li Yu was speechless at her actions. This girl had become extremely excited after returning here and wanted to do everything herself. But that was fine, so she wouldn't really become a mascot.

Li Yu also recognized the half-elf's identity; it was none other than Eina had greeted the rabbit at the beginning.

Eina's gaze fell upon Li Yu, and she was momentarily stunned upon hearing Li Yu level: Iv4? Could it be that Lady Hestia had been training in the outside world all this time?

You see, the divine Falna in this world are all level 1 when they are first imprinted, but Hestia pulled out a level 4 one, which made her suspect that Hestia was secretly leveling up outside.

Despite being filled with doubts, she still recorded Li Yu's information. After Li Yu finished, Hestia asked Asuna and the others to come forward, and then began to say everyone's name and rank one by one.

Yes, Hestia remembered the names of everyone in the class. After all, she hadn't wasted her time in Li Yu's world; she already knew everyone's name and talents.

The fact that all of them were Iv3 confirmed Eina even more. Hestia had been secretly leveling up outside before bringing them back. Such a powerful Familia was among the best in Orario.

After Eina registered everyone's information, she stamped the form and then pointed to a column, asking, "Finally, Lady Hestia, do you have your Familia's residence yet?"

Upon hearing this, Hestia looked at Li Yu expectantly. They didn't have any; they had just returned from another world, so there was no such place Familia settlement.

Moreover, Li Yu had previously stated that these matters would be handled by Li Yu, and in return, she would listen to Li Yu from now on and would never contradict him in whatever Li Yu wanted to do.

Seeing Hestia's gaze, Li Yu rolled his eyes, then stepped forward and said, "We don't have a base here. We just returned from the outside world. If you have any vacant bases here, could you tell us about them?"

Hearing Li Yu's words, Eina nodded in understanding, and then said, "We do have quite a few vacant properties here that can be used as a base. Please wait a moment!"

After saying that, she gathered up all the materials on the table, then turned around and went to the back of the filing shelf, where she found a thick book. Picking up the book, she came out from behind the counter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come this way. Let me introduce the properties we currently own." Eina came out from behind the counter and waved to Li Yu and the others, signaling them to follow her.

Upon seeing this, Hestia immediately pulled Li Yu along, and the others followed closely behind. The group followed Eina to a huge lounge.

After she told everyone to sit down, she began showing Li Yu some photos of the trees. These photos showed union houses that were going to be sold.

Li Yu looked through the listings for a while, then chose a manor in the eastern region and asked, "How much does this manor cost?"

By the way, does the guild accept gold here?

After just one glance, Li Yu decided to use this manor as the residence of his Familia. The manor was located on a hill and occupied a considerable area. Most importantly, the eastern region where the manor was located was relatively peaceful, far away from those chaotic places.

Seeing Li Yu's choice, Hestia also came over. Her eyes lit up when she saw the manor Li Yu had chosen. It was a great place! She liked it too!

The others were also curious when they heard that Li Yu had made a decision. Everyone craned their necks to see what kind of place Li Yu had chosen for his base. Seeing their actions, Li Yu simply handed the book to Asuna and told them to read it themselves.

When Eina heard Li Yu say this, she understood where he had chosen. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "We'll take the gold, but the price of that manor... is very expensive."

Having just returned from the outside world, do they really have enough money to buy it? Eina was a little worried. Perhaps they should choose some cheaper places? Spending so much money at once would make it difficult for the Familia to operate, wouldn't it?

"How much money? Hmm... how about I put it this way, how many kilograms of gold would it take to buy it?" Li Yu looked at Eina and continued to ask his question.

These words left Eina speechless. Did you measure your gold in kilograms? And judging from this, the other party didn't seem to be short of money. Her worries were unnecessary.

Upon realizing this, Eina immediately said, "The price of gold is quite high right now. The guild is currently offering 5 million Valis for one jin of gold, while that manor is worth 200 million Valis. If you plan to trade with gold, you'll need 40 jin."

Eina quickly gave her answer; it was also the first time she had ever done business like this, trading directly with gold—it was truly outrageous.

Upon hearing the price, Li Yu glanced at the gold in his spatial storage. It was alright; he could afford it. Principal Hu had given him not just 40 jin, but 50 jin of gold. This gold covered all of Li Yu and the others' expenses in the other world and served as their start-up capital!
