After such a small episode, Noah, Bell, and Lily walked into the door and immediately saw Hestia sitting on the sofa with an angry look.
"Master Hestia?" Lily said strangely.
"What's wrong with you? Why is this expression?"
Hestia then noticed Noah and his party who walked into the door. After seeing Noah, his angry look immediately became pitiful.
At the moment, Hestia jumped off the sofa with a "patter", and then ran all the way to Noah in front of Noah with a bang of "dada" and hugged him.
The heroic way shocked both Bell and Lily.
As for Noah, he was helpless.
"How many times have I told you, don't hug you at all times." Noah patted Hestia's little head.
"But I won't knock your head today."
Hearing this, Hestia raised her head and stared directly at Noah.
"Do you know everything?"
"It should be said that I guessed it." Noah shrugged, pushed Hestia's petite but plump body away, and sat on the sofa with a very careless tone. Say so.
"Isn't it because people from other family members come to dig corners?"
"Poaching?" Lily blinked, then she was suddenly stunned.
"Could it be that person just now?"
"Yes!" Hestia immediately became angry again, and yelled.
"What's that?! What if the conditions are good for us if that person gives us?! Are they selling the children of the family as commodities?!"
"Huh?" Bell didn't seem to be able to react, and he said something like this in a solitary manner.
"In other words, was that person just sent by another family member to dig our corner?"
"That's it." Lily took it for granted.
"But it’s not surprising that Enoch-sama’s excellence, even Freyja’s family and Loki’s family have always wanted to be in the bag, Oulari’s two most powerful family members are like this, let alone The rest of the family members."
"So..." Bell understood somewhat.
"Master Shangshen is so angry, is it because other family members are playing the idea of the leader?"
"You don't need to be so angry if you just make an idea. After all, I already knew that Enochia's ability, this kind of thing will come sooner or later, I am angry with their attitude!" Hestia frowned.
"The members of the family members can be said to be the children of the main god. If they are just digging corners, they would actually say something like "If you let us, we can exchange with ten high-level members". 'S children are exchanged as goods, which is so annoying! "
"You... Actually there is something like that?" Bell was stunned.
"...That's not surprising. In the eyes of most gods, the members of the family members are really only props to ensure their status and property. There are few main gods who can treat the members of their family members as real family members and love them?" Lily's The tone became heavy.
Noah pondered slightly for a while, and suddenly said such a sentence.
"That person was sent by the family of Istar just now?"
"Huh?" Hestia was also stunned immediately, and said in surprise.
"how do you know?"
Noah didn't answer, but looked at the street outside the door, as if looking at the direction that the digger was leaving, muttering to himself.
"I haven't found the door yet, but they came first."
Bell and Lily also frowned, with a thoughtful expression.
Seeing the performance of a group of three family members, Hestia asked uncertainly.
"Couldn't, what happened between you and the family of Istar?"
"Forget it." Noah nodded, but said so without explaining.
"I'll talk to you after this, and now let me talk about the Bell upgrade."
"Bell? Upgrade?" Hestia seemed unable to put these two words together, and couldn't react to it all at once.
But Bell's eyes lit up, and he looked at Hestia hopefully.
"... It's Istar's family again, and it's an upgrade. I really start to wonder how many outrageous things you have done during a trip to the dungeon." Hestia stared with itchy eyes with hatred. Noah, Bell, and Lily glanced at them.
"Remember to tell me everything clearly later, don't hide it!"
"Yes..." Noah, Bell and Lily responded helplessly.
…
On the sofa in the living room, Bell was sitting with his upper body naked and sitting cross-legged, the ability value on his back exuding bursts of dim light, slightly illuminating the surrounding environment.
Hestia, who was sitting behind Bell, looked at the brand new ability value presented in front of her, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
After a while, Hestia dumbly put the updated ability value on parchment, and silently put the parchment on the table, drawing the eyes of all three people present.

"All... S stage with all abilities?"
Lily opened her lovely eyes wide and her mouth opened into an O shape.
"No... No upgrade?"
Bell lowered his head in disappointment, looking frustrated.
Noah's brows were also frowned, and immediately, he looked at Hestia who was silent.
"What? Is Bell's experience points not enough to upgrade?"
"Enough." Hestia said irritably.
"Not only is it enough, but there is a surplus. I just extract the remaining part first to improve Bell's ability value. This is the most beneficial to Bell."
Hestia said that, except for the bewilderment of the second monk Bell, who didn't know much about the upgrade, Noah and Lily were shocked.
Although as long as the ability value can reach the D stage, the recipient of the favor will have the qualification to upgrade, but it does not mean that the faster the upgrade, the better.
After all, after gaining enough meritorious deeds and upgrading, the basic abilities of the previous level of the beneficiary will all return to zero, but those basic abilities do not disappear directly, but remain as hidden abilities.
The higher the basic ability before the upgrade, the stronger the strength after the upgrade.
For example, when an adventurer is in Lv.1, his full stats are A-stage, his power is set to "10", and the level that he can get is increased to "50", then when the adventurer reaches Lv.2 From now on, the strength is the value of "10" plus "50", and the total is "60".
And if an adventurer is in Lv.1, all his stats are S stage, his power is set to "20", and the upgrade can get a boost of "50", then when the adventurer reaches Lv.2 , The strength is the value of "20" plus "50", the total is "70".
Of course, if the two are compared, there will definitely be a difference.
Therefore, first extract the extra experience value, help Bell raise the full power value to the highest S stage, and then help him upgrade, the benefits will undoubtedly be more.
The adventurer who can retain the hidden ability with the full power value S stage, I am afraid that the world can't find a second one.
Of course, Noah is beyond the limit, except for the animals whose full power value SSS stage is retained as a hidden ability at every level.
"In other words, can I still upgrade?"
Hearing Lily's explanation, Bell regained hope.
However, Hestia was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Bell, but kept staring at Noah, like a kid kept in the dark. Although he did not feel aggrieved, he felt aggrieved.
Being stared at by Hestia so directly, Noah felt unnatural and said something like this.
"What are you doing looking at me like this?"
"..." Hestia didn't answer, she just continued to stare at Noah, and after a long time she didn't say anything angry.
"Remember to tell me exactly what you did to Mr. Bell, now let's raise Mr. Bell's level for now."
"Okay..." Noah replied like a laugh or cry.
I knew that the goddess didn't let him go so easily.
