If the third development ability [Stigma Alchemy] is really as Kevin thought.
Then he can only be thankful that the ability value does not describe the detailed effects of developing abilities.
In fact, even the gods who bestow divine favors and create [ability values] cannot fully know what abilities their followers will have.
In other words, even the gods cannot imagine how humans in the lower world can grow from [great deeds].
For this reason, information about developing capabilities depends entirely on continuous practice and analysis of existing intelligence.
Most of the development abilities are pretty generic, and there are a lot of repetitive effects.
Of course, there is also a very small chance that a new ability with powerful effects and never before seen will appear.
Such abilities are called "rare abilities"——
There is no doubt that [Stigma Alchemy] that appears in Kevin's ability value is a truly rare ability.
"It's such a headache."
Hephaestus rubbed her brows. If it was just a common ability like [Abnormal Resistance] or [Hunter], she could still provide some suggestions.
But now the three abilities that Kevin can choose from are all pretty good.
[Forging] Needless to say, a blacksmith with this ability can make better equipment.
[Mystery] is the development ability related to potions, magic props, and alchemy.
It is said that by taking [Mystery] to its extreme, one can create the [Philosopher's Stone] that can grant people immortality!
As for [Stigma Alchemy]... Hephaestus didn't know much about it, but she was sure it was a rare ability.
"It's up to you to choose between these three abilities."
The goddess handed the question back to Kevin, but still reminded him.
"In this regard, you can go to your adventure consultant for advice."
Kevin's adventure consultant is Miss Aina.
If she knew that the new adventurer in her charge reached Lv2 in just half a month, she would probably be so surprised that her mouth would not close.
But Kevin shook his head, having already made up his mind.
"My Lady Goddess, I choose [Stigma Alchemy] as my development ability."
"Are you sure?"
Hephaestus was a little surprised, as if she didn't expect Kevin to make a decision on the spot.
"Although this may be a rare ability, no one knows what effect it will have."
"If the effect doesn't suit you, you might as well choose the other two."
Kevin thought to himself, it's a good thing you don't know what effect it has, otherwise I would have died on the spot today.
In addition, there is another benefit to choosing [Stigma Alchemy].
That is, after obtaining the development ability related to "alchemy", it can explain why there are so many magic potions and even magic books in his shop.
In the past, I could get away with it by saying "I have a friend".
As the number of magic props in the store increased and they became more and more advanced, this excuse no longer worked.
Now I happen to have the ability of [Stigma Alchemy], which solves a problem at the same time.
"Just choose it."
Kevin did not change his mind, but added one more sentence.
"But I want to upgrade in a day or two, is that okay?"
"Of course you can..."
Hephaestus was stunned when she heard this, and quickly understood Kevin's idea.
"Do you want to raise the remaining 'Agility' to above S level?"
"Well... since there is still room for improvement, we can't waste this last chance."
Kevin smiled. It felt good to be understood.
"After all, after upgrading, the ability value of Lv1 is fixed."
Adventurers perform [Upgrades] just like stacking boxes.
Although the basic abilities will be cleared, the attributes of the previous level will be accumulated and will not disappear.
Therefore, the higher the basic ability during the upgrade, the more stable the strength after the upgrade.
If Kevin didn't know that SSS level is the limit of the limit, he would have to get 9999 at least.
After all, whether it's killing monsters or gaining experience, these are areas that Terraria excels in.
Once the blood moon comes, summon the creature and you're done.
After saying goodbye to Hephaestus, Kevin did not leave the Tower of Babel, but came to his own shop.
Different from the deserted scene when it first opened, there was already a long queue at the door of the "Adventurer's House"!
"Business is booming."
Kevin nodded with satisfaction and walked into the store from the back door.
Hestia, wearing a blue and white shop assistant uniform, was busy introducing products to customers and looked much more diligent.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that she is the only staff member in the store.
"You're finally here!"
Seeing Kevin appear in front of her, Hestia rushed over immediately as if she had seen a savior.
"Going to work is so scary, wuwu... There are so many troublesome customers, and many products are out of stock, you have to replenish them quickly!"
"Got it...get off me first."
Although Kevin didn't mind such intimate actions, there were so many adventurers watching nearby.
During the lunch break, Kevin called the goddess of rice bugs to the studio on the second floor.
"First, tell me what's missing."
Soon, Hestia handed a list to Kevin.
Among all the products on the shelves, Flaming Arrows have the highest sales volume and are often out of stock.
The next are weak healing potions and weak mana potions.
Both of these potions are cheaper than potions with the same effects on the market, so it is natural that they sell well.
On the contrary, the sales of torches were a bit strange. They sold very well at the beginning, but then gradually no one bought them.
"Because one torch can be used for a long time, people don't need to refill it."
Seeing that Kevin was a little confused, Hestia puffed out her chest very proudly.
"This is the information I got from the adventurers in the store."
"I see…"
Kevin nodded suddenly. It turned out that the quality was too good and no one updated the product.
There is always a feeling that I have gotten myself killed.
But anyway, he didn't have the trouble of holding back the goods, so if the torches couldn't be sold, then they couldn't be sold.
The extra torches can be made into flaming arrows, which will sell even better.
"By the way, how come you suddenly have time to come to the store?"
"Because I want to see Hestia at work."
Kevin's answer made the goddess of rice bugs panic.
"Eh?! I guess I wasn't slacking off just now... I was working very hard the whole time!"
"It's really hard work, I saw it all."
Kevin touched Hestia's head and praised her.
"Lady Hestia has also grown a lot. If the goddess saw it, she would definitely be surprised."
"Hehe~"
The corners of Hestia's mouth curled up when she thought of Hephaestus being shocked to see her working so hard.
"But it's a bit too much for you to handle it alone here, so how about this..."
After thinking for a moment, Kevin clapped his hands and made up his mind.
"I'll just find a new clerk."
