Lin Feng, of course, also sensed the unusual... and increasingly strange atmosphere.
"Senpai Hestia, I'm heading out first. If you need anything, call me. I'll see you at the Hostess of Fertility's entrance tonight!"
Being the center of so many stares was a bit much for anyone. Hestia watched her kohai-kun's retreating back, a new, unfamiliar feeling welling up in her heart.
"Master! Aren't you going to the dungeon? You've already extracted the abilities!"
Just as Lin Feng turned into a quiet alley, he heard the little system's voice.
"Won't a god entering the dungeon cause an abnormality? Don't tell me you don't know that."
It was common knowledge among all gods that a god entering the dungeon would cause an abnormality. He seemed to recall this being a plot point in the original story. It would trigger an abnormality in the Floor Boss.
"Of course I know that! But I can help you shield yourself from the dungeon's perception! I can block your aura, so the dungeon won't discover you!"
The little system said, sounding very smug.
Lin Feng naturally also wanted to venture into the Dungeon; what was the point of just drawing abilities? Without real-world combat experience, having more abilities wouldn't be very useful.
"Alright! Then I'll go try out the Dungeon in a bit."
Lin Feng was conveniently in this secluded spot and used the temporary Magic: Four Forms ability copied from Hayasaka Ai via the system. This allowed him to replicate four types of outfits (weapons, armor, etc., were not possible), and there was a certain probability of acquiring the replicated person's skills.
It could only copy outfits... but this
"certain probability"
was a bit of a trap, huh?
Lin Feng temporarily didn't know whose clothes would be best to copy. Should he replicate a Demon Slayer Corps uniform?
Putting his thought into action, Lin Feng directly copied a male Demon Slayer Corps uniform—but not the arbitrary, modified versions worn by the Pillars, which looked like attention-seeking, strangely dressed punks. After becoming a god, Lin Feng felt that ordinary was the way to go.
"Little System, where are the weapons!"
He could tolerate the lack of armor, but without a weapon, how was he supposed to kill the enemies? It couldn't be that the system wanted him to punch the monsters to death, could it? That would be too much of a cosmic joke on a god.
"Clang!"
Just as Lin Feng finished his complaint, a katana fell out of thin air. Like the one Little Ai and her group received, it was a standard-issue newbie adventurer weapon.
"Charge!"
Lin Feng was a little impatient. After hanging the katana on his waist, he immediately ran toward the Dungeon.
It was a shame that Lin Feng thought the location he used for the change was discreet, but... this was the back door of the Hostess of Fertility tavern!
He happened to be spotted by an Elf waitress.
"That... isn't that the god from yesterday? Could it be that he's planning to go into the Dungeon!"
The Elf waitress, named Ryuu Lion, looked at Lin Feng's retreating back with utter astonishment in her eyes.
A few minutes later, Miss Ryuu processed the shocking news of this sudden event, buried the matter in her heart, and decided to find an opportunity to talk to that god later.
"Ryuu! What are you doing? Why aren't you back yet? I'm getting overwhelmed!"
The figure of the waitress, Syr, appeared from the back door. This Syr clearly wanted to slack off but insisted on using such an excuse!
"N-nothing. I was just taking a small break. I'll be over to help right away!"
Ryuu shook her head slightly. She wasn't Syr; she basically never slacked off at work, and because Syr had helped her in the past, she often went to help when Syr was slacking off.
"Alright then! I'll rest here for a bit, hehe."
Syr didn't feel suspicious of Ryuu, and she hadn't seen anyone else around.
"Syr, if you keep slacking off like this, Aunt Mia will probably scold you."
Ryuu shook her head helplessly at Syr, but she also wanted to help the lovely Syr. If the work wasn't finished, Syr would face the crisis of having her pay docked.
"So this is the Dungeon? It looks different from how it was portrayed in the anime."
Lin Feng muttered to himself as he walked down the stairs to the first floor, observing the surrounding environment.
The First Level was the smallest area in the entire Dungeon, and the monster spawn rate and strength were the weakest. Therefore, even a solo newbie adventurer generally wouldn't face much danger.
However, the Adventurer's Guild did not recommend solo adventuring. It was best to form a party with members of the same Familia.
But Lin Feng couldn't form a party right now. His three Familia members had already gone down to the Dungeon early this morning, and they were probably still fighting at this hour.
The most important point, of course, was whether Hayasaka Ai and the others would still take him to the Dungeon if they found out.
They knew the basic information of this world: if a god entered the Dungeon of Orario, it would trigger some anomalies.
For example, a surge in the number of monsters, monster evolution, or levelling up.
As for why the guards at the Dungeon entrance didn't stop Lin Feng, it was naturally due to his concealed divine aura. Plus, he had only arrived in Orario two or three days ago and hadn't caused any sensational incidents, so how could his visit be known to everyone?
That's why it was so easy for him to slip in.
