25. Daily Dungeon (4)
Current progress is 5th floor.
Daily dungeons open on the 5th floor, but there are only three types of dungeons you can go to when they are freshly opened. These are Isralta Mine, Kandert Forest, and Singmirel Plateau, respectively.
If you collect lower attribute stones from the monsters that appear in these three dungeons, you can get an upgrade stone.
Mine on Monday and Tuesday, Forest on Wednesday and Thursday, Plateau on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, all three dungeons are open.
I was sitting on a bench in the square, eating chicken legs.
How often do you eat meat? It’s been a little over a month since I haven’t heard it once since I came here.
After getting the meat from Jenna’s hunting yesterday, meat was finally included in the meal. It wasn’t a bad change. Apart from being delicious and tasteless, if you only eat potatoes, the nutritional balance is not right.
“You waited?”
“uh.”
“If you tell me you didn’t wait, it’ll get worse.”
Jenna walked out of the dorm.
He wears a bow and quiver on his back and a dagger on his waist.
“Did you enjoy your meal?”
“It was very exciting. One deer is already missing.”
By now, there must have been a party in the restaurant inside the inn.
Well, that doesn’t matter. I said.
“Isel! I want to go to the dungeon every day of the week.”
[I’ll open the door now!]
hey hey
The gap in time and space slowly opened. Current time 7:48 AM.
“The currently open dungeon is a plateau, right?”
[huh.]
One Earth day has passed between yesterdays. The calendar created by contrasting the waiting room with Earth time was gradually being completed. I tore off the rest of the chicken leg and tossed the bone into the trash can.
Enter the rift of time and space with Jenna.
[Climb the tower, save the world!]
[Main Dungeon: Current number of floors to climb – 5]
[The feast of dungeons that change every day!]
[Daily Dungeon: Singmirel Plateau (11 hours)]
[Collect various rare materials!]
[Exploration Dungeon]
[NO ACCESS! Clear the 10th floor of the main dungeon.]
The mirror on the left, which is the passage to the main dungeon, is cloudy. It is a natural change as the only places that can still be reached with the hero’s autonomous action are the daily dungeons.
“But can you really become stronger by gathering ingredients?”
“Have I ever been wrong? Follow me in silence.”
Not only me, but also Jenna’s promotion was getting closer. To upgrade to Zena, you must collect two Attribute Stones.
There are only two people who go that way. As if trying to make up for the training he missed yesterday, Aaron had been wielding his spear since dawn at the training center. There is also a digital camera mixed in.
[The aisle is open. Go inside the mirror!]
“good.”
I looked up.
Dark clouds bloom in the gray sky. Amkena was not online.
When I put my finger on the mirror in the middle, it went in. A faint wave spread from the contact surface between the hand and the mirror. After taking a deep breath, I pushed my body in at once.
The landscape has changed.
A strong wind is blowing. A reed in the field made me lie down.
[‘Temporary party (Han, Jenna)’ has entered the daily dungeon, Singmirel Plateau (lowest level). They will collect the ingredients and come back!]
Behind it is a dimensional portal like the one we saw in the forest.
Jenna emerged from the portal. Jenna put the blade of her hand to her forehead and looked around her.
“The scenery is nice! The wind is also cool.”
A view of the plains could be seen far below the cliff from which we stood. I don’t know the exact height, but it seemed to be at least 1,000m above sea level. When I put my hand to the outside of the cliff, sure enough, a transparent wall blocked it.
There is a grassy field on the inside of the cliff. Suddenly, a red flower caught my eye in a crevice of a rock.
‘It is the plant of life.’
I’ve seen red petals split into six as an illustration. It was a vital ingredient for making recovery potions. Let’s dig it up when we’re done with our errands and we have some time left.
“Follow me.”
“Old write!”
run through the grass
The monster you need to catch here is the Highland Chaser. They also know how to navigate. If you follow along here, a river comes out, and around the river… … .
‘I’m lucky.’
Found it right away.
[Highlands Chaser Lv.10]
The Highland Stalker was a giant wolf with a blue-black mane.
He was drinking water with his feet in the river. We were crouched under a rock about five meters from the river.
“Is that child the prey?”
I nodded without speaking.
I took my sword out of the scabbard and raised my shield. Jenna put an arrow through her bow.
Like this, there is a monster that can be called a gatekeeper in each dungeon of the week. For the lower classes, forests are deer, plateaus are wolves, and caves are snakes.
“Aim for the leg.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to shoot him in the head and kill him in one shot?”
“I’ll give you a kick.”
Jenna pointed her bow at the wolf.
An arrow was shot.
ping!
“Kreung!”
As if waiting, the wolf jumped to the side and dodged the arrow.
“I shot him from behind!”
“I told you.”
That guy has a special skill called surprise prevention.
It is an advanced skill that blocks preemptive attacks with a high probability. It had the disadvantage of lowering the defense probability in areas other than vital points, but in the end, it seemed to have failed.
“Kreur…”
Wolves are showing hostility to this side.
You don’t have to hide yourself. I slowly made my way out of the rock.
“Kyong kong!”
Yellow saliva spattered whenever the wolf howled.
This guy was also a non-standard animal like the queen of the forest. Her limbs were packed with gnarled muscles. Every time he barked, his sharp molars peeped out.
“If I get it right, I won’t let you go.”
“Do not worry.”
“Goes!”
I ran out with my shield in front. The wolf also ran out.
‘Activates a wide state.’
Anyway, this battle is a pure dog fight that requires no strategy. I decided to use the madness I got from the last mission. A high-risk, high-return skill that raises all stats while losing reason.
How can I activate it?
can i get angry
I stopped thinking and raised my shield.
A strong shock shook his left hand.
It had struck the shield with a paw the size of a grown man’s waist. She wasn’t as strong as the forest queen, but she was formidable.
After adjusting my posture, I rolled over. Claws dug into the ground.
The wolf swung its claws right to the side.
A claw grazed the tip of his nose.
A drop of blood flowed from the bridge of his nose with the sound of the wind.
fast.
There is not much gap between attack and attack. It was also difficult to deal with with a sword. If he incorrectly blocks it, his right arm is severed. He seemed to be pretty difficult to deal with if it wasn’t for the shield.
I gradually retreated back and repelled all attacks with my shield.
puck!
An arrow that flew at the right time was lodged in the wolf’s side.
“Cre!”
The wolf looked back and revealed his teeth to Jenna.
I thrust my sword at the wolf who showed me its back. The wolf quickly turned over and swung its claws.
It burrowed into the trajectory of the claw. The leather protector on his right arm was tattered, but he was able to embed his sword into his side. It’s right next to where the arrow was stuck.
ping!
An arrow shot through and pierced the wolf’s buttock.
I hit the side of the wolf’s head with my shield as it tried to run towards Jenna.
“Kong!”
Another arrow was pierced.
Jenna is behind me, and I am in front.
The Plateau Tracker was stranded and died in the middle, being hit with swords and arrows.
after a while
The wolf hung out his tongue and sagged.
A small bead flowed out of her mouth.
[Low Water Attribute Stone]
[Rating – D-]
[It is an attribute stone that contains the energy of the plateau. It is used to make various items and promote some heroes.]
lucky.
This time, I got an attribute stone in one go.
It was fortunate that only one appeared. Originally, Highland Trackers tended to act in groups of at least two. It seemed that he had stepped out of the crowd alone to drink water.
It was a pity that I hadn’t been able to use Berserk, but there will be opportunities in the future.
“Jenna, take this guy’s skin off.”
“Where are you going to write it?”
“It’s all there for later use.”
“When is the later?”
Jenna grumbled and began to skin the wolf with her dagger.
I picked a red flower blooming by the riverside.
‘Let’s see, the potion ingredients… … .’
Life Herb, Highland Water, Black Mushroom, and Placer Stone.
The first two can be obtained here. Black mushrooms could be mined in the forest, and placer stones could be mined in the mines. I don’t know why stones are needed, but if you look closely, there is no limit.
I diligently plucked the life plants while Jenna skinned them.
Originally, it was difficult to gather without the Herbalist skill, but it was not difficult to gather because the name of the item came to mind as it was visible.
Plateau water is literally river water in the plateau.
I took out a bucket of water prepared in advance and filled it with river water.
“What about claws and teeth?”
“Tear them all apart and sort them.”
“yeah.”
creaking.
Jenna said while cutting from behind.
“It’s peaceful.”
“Say those words after wiping the blood off your hands.”
“Why? It’s proof that you worked hard.”
The wolf’s dark blue fur peeled off.
Jenna started clipping her toenails.
“It would be nice if we could continue to be peaceful like this. Hunting and digging grass. I hope the Master never comes. Right? There’s something to eat. There’s a place to sleep. That’s right. Without the Master, it’s paradise on earth!”
‘I’m the former master, dude.’
I swallowed my words. Paradise without Master. Definitely not wrong. I had people to hang out with, and as the daily dungeon opened, I could get various ingredients. It could be seen that a small village was created.
‘I wonder if the Niflheim kids thought that way too.’
I thought it would be nice not to have a master.
It’s not like I don’t have complaints about the current master either.
I would like to replace it if possible. I am confident that if I take over the master position, I will be able to operate the waiting room much more efficiently than now.
“You don’t want to fight?”
asked Jenna.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s not all about fighting on the front line. If it’s you, you can hunt and you don’t have any skills at all, so I don’t think you’ll have to worry about being synthesized.”
“Would you like a seat please?”
“There’s nothing we can’t do if things get better than they are now.”
In fact, in terms of survival rate, it is better to fall into a non-combat position than to fight in the main party. If I valued survival, I would have fallen for it somehow.
Just like the carpenter who would be sharpening tree branches in the carpentry shop by now.
“Why doesn’t your brother fall for that?”
I laughed without answering.
Before I knew it, the nettaegi was filled with red grass.
“Let’s go. We’re running out of time.”
Jenna swept away her bloody hands and stood up.
We took all sorts of loot and headed for the portal.
On the way back, I shouted at Jenna.
“Bounce.”
“Kureureu, kungkong!”
Five Highland Stalkers are showing this.
It seems to be a colleague of the dead guy. It’s not far to the dimension gate. We ran right away.
“Eight!”
Jenna tossed the thick wolfhide into the portal.
[‘Jenna(★)’ has collected ‘Highlands Chaser Leather’.]
[‘Jenna(★)’ has collected ‘Sharp Fangs’.]
[‘Han(★)’ gave ‘Life Herb’… … .]
After dumping the ingredients all at once, we threw ourselves into the portal.
[Mission End!]
[The hero returns to the waiting room.]
[List of obtained items]
[The plant of life… … .]
Returning to the plaza, we lightly tidied up our clothes.
Ingredients that have just entered the portal are automatically packaged and stacked on shelves in the warehouse.
“I thought I was going to die!
“Originally, it’s not good near the dimension gate.”
Even if you run into them, you just have to run away through the dimensional door. You’ll lose your entry ticket, but it’s better than the main dungeon where you can’t even escape unless it’s the first time.
Later, at the party going to the dungeon on each day of the week, a combat agent is mixed one by one and set up as an escort. 4 gatherers and 1 escort. It’s a classic day-of-the-week party setup.
I briefly explained the daily dungeon to Jenna.
I can’t even do it one by one. He told me what was needed and what to do in order to reach 2 stars.
Zena also had an intuitive understanding of concepts such as levels and ranks. Every time the level goes up, you can’t help but feel that your physical ability jumps up.
“It’s very strange. The place changes every day and you can only go once.”
“It’s every day for the Master, not every day for us. When you enter the place, you must find and catch those guys first. Leave the trivial ingredients to the others.”
“Yes.”
The more attribute stones or rare materials, the better.
After upgrading, it can be used to create special items or to give special powers to equipment.
‘Is it this far now?’
Promotion is a must-have process, but you don’t have to be in a hurry right now. This is because there is no merit other than the level restriction being lifted. Even if you can’t level up, you can accumulate experience points. If you go through the daily dungeon, you will be able to gather the materials naturally.
I headed to the training ground.
