Hayasaka Ai stared blankly at the empty money pouch, her eyes dull as if she had lost her dreams. In her original world, she had never worried about money. Her living expenses were covered by the Shinguomiya family, and her salary was rarely spent, with savings totaling around forty million. Today, she walked out with a full pouch of Valis and, in less than half a day, the Familia's entire savings had been spent.
"Little Ai, money can always be earned back. If you had suffered serious injuries in the Dungeon because you didn't have the right equipment, that would truly make me sad."
"Mmh..."
"Hahaha, see how much your Lord God cares for you? Aren't you going to give him a hug of appreciation?"
Hephaistos had no fear of causing a scene. She clapped Hayasaka Ai, who was staring down, on the shoulder and said with a loud laugh.
The moment she finished speaking, Lin Feng felt several gazes focused on him. Without thinking, they were definitely from his own girls. There were no other customers in the shop right now, as most adventurers were making money in the Dungeon, and they weren't even standing outside, but inside the store.
"Lord God...."
Just as Lin Feng heard Saeko Busujima's voice, he turned around in surprise and saw her figure right in front of him, only a few centimeters away. The next second, as Lin Feng was still confused about why Saeko Busujima was approaching, her soft, warm body pressed against his.
This is the feeling of being hugged. (She was wearing light armor: arm guards, chest plate, skirt armor, and greaves.)
This single sight immediately shocked the surrounding girls, including the instigator, Hephaistos. She stood there feeling a little awkward, but as the one who caused the stir and the owner of the shop, she couldn't leave now.
Hayasaka Ai's eyes widened, staring intently at Saeko Busujima hugging Lin Feng. You came last! How did you suddenly jump ahead of everyone else? Was there some interaction we don't know about?
But the next second, Hayasaka Ai immediately dismissed the idea. She went to the Dungeon with everyone every day. Furthermore, she, Megumi Katou, and Kanae were the first batch, Seryu the second, and Saeko Busujima was the last! Logically, Saeko Busujima had almost no opportunity to be alone with Lin Feng. Where did this sudden surge of affection come from...?
"No! I'm joining! Everyone join in!"
It took Hayasaka Ai a few seconds to process, but then she rushed forward. She hadn't forgotten the rest of the Familia.
Seryu, who had been longing to rush up and hug Lin Feng, took the lead—smack!—her left foot tripped over her right, and her head crashed straight into Lin Feng's side.
"Seryu! Be careful! If you fall to the ground... Ow!"
Lin Feng hadn't finished speaking when Hayasaka Ai, either intentionally or accidentally, hit him with a rocket headbutt just like Seryu, striking his other side!

"Little Ai! That was intentional!"
Lin Feng turned his head to glare at Hayasaka Ai, and sure enough, her sky-blue eyes were filled with amusement. Just as he was about to get mad, a soft body pressed against his back. Who is it?
It was Megumi Katou behind Lin Feng. Her arms were wrapped around his body, hugging him tightly, her fair cheek resting on his back with a slight smile.
Now, he was completely surrounded, with only the slightly slower Kanae still standing outside the embrace. She looked left and right, finding no space for herself, and stood there somewhat blankly.
Finally, Hayasaka Ai saw her, cleared a little space, and beckoned Kanae to join her side.
Hephaistos watched the scene of the harmonious family, completely stunned. She knew how rare it was to see such a close Familia. Seeing this scenario unfold because of her own words filled her with a sense of pride.
"Alright, alright! Junior Lin Feng, take your darlings and go do whatever you need to do! Stop making me so jealous here."
It had been several minutes, and they showed no sign of letting go. Do they think this is their home? Most importantly, Hephaistos was slightly envious, because she had scared her own Familia members by showing the scarred right side of her face, which was covered by an eye patch. If I weren't a God, many of my adventurers would probably stay away.
"Alright, alright! Junior Lin Feng, take your darlings and go do whatever you need to do! Stop making me so jealous here."

After leaving Hephaistos's shop, many of the shops on this floor were open. Although there were fewer adventurers during the day, they needed to open to earn money. These floors were mostly dedicated to selling weapons and equipment. To buy items, they could take the elevator to the higher floors or go to Orario's commercial district, which also had many item shops and blacksmiths. Hephaistos's Familia headquarters was located nearby.
"Let's go! Let's head to the commercial district! The busy area!"
Leaving the Babel Tower, Lin Feng grandly gestured toward Orario's bustling commercial area.
"No! Lord God, we have no money left! If we don't go to the Dungeon to earn some today... we won't even be able to afford food."
Goodness! One trip to Hephaistos's shop had completely emptied the Lin Feng Familia's small treasury, and her calculation was so precise! As expected of an upper-class veteran.
"Then wait for me, I'm going to change!"
Lin Feng realized Hayasaka Ai was on the verge of exploding. If they had no money, how would they feed six people? Since they were already at the entrance to the Dungeon, Lin Feng announced his intention.
A few minutes later, Lin Feng, wearing a cloak and a mask, reappeared before Hayasaka Ai and the others. If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing underneath, Hayasaka Ai might have mistaken him for some foolhardy adventurer trying to talk to them.
"We only have half a day today, don't miscalculate the time."
After entering the first floor of the Dungeon, Lin Feng reminded Hayasaka Ai.
"I know, I know! I'm the Familia Captain and Commander; how could I mess up the time?"
Hayasaka Ai quickly replied to Lin Feng, then turned to the others.
"Today, we're going to rush down to the 7th floor. We found the entrance to the 8th floor yesterday."
Although they were rushing to the 7th floor, they tried not to skip any monsters along the way. Since they focused on speed and heading straight for the staircase to the next floor, they encountered relatively few monsters, reaching the 7th floor in just half an hour.
