Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon with Gate of Babylon?

[9] Remarkable Growth!

Splat~

A long sword pierced the neck of the monster, killing it.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host, for completing the quest 'Test the Waters II: Hunt 100 level 1 monsters, 100/100, Completion Reward: Regular Draw Three Times.']

With the completion of the quest, a smile appeared on August's slightly exhausted face.

Now they were already on the third level of the dungeon, and killing 100 monsters had indeed taken a toll on August.

If it weren't for Riveria holding the line, August wouldn't have dared to push himself so hard.

After all, regardless of how deep you ventured into the dungeon, you still needed to return to Orario. The journey back was equally dangerous.

In this dungeon, adventurers killed by humans were by no means a small number.

Compared to ferocious monsters, humans with dark hearts were even more terrifying.

"All right, let's go back!"

"Aren't we going further down?"

Riveria teased August with a hint of sarcasm.

Honestly, she hadn't seen anyone with such a clear goal in a long time.

She had noticed it back on the second level—August hunted monsters as if completing a mission.

In her eyes, August had set a goal for himself, and he would only stop after achieving it.

She didn't know that August was genuinely completing tasks issued by the system.

"That's enough for today. Besides, we should go back and meet the others in the familia. It's not good to return too late and leave a bad impression!"

"That's true, let's go back!"

"Yeah!"

And so, August's first adventure as an adventurer, after killing 100 monsters, came to a successful end.

August began sorting out his gains.

100 magic stones, and some bones from the goblins and wolf pelts from the black wolves were his loot.

August planned to keep these materials for now. In case he gained a forging or other skills in the future, they might come in handy.

As for selling them, the drops from the first and second levels were hardly worth much.

Back in Orario, August went to the guild and exchanged all 100 magic stones for Valis. Exactly 10,000 Valis.

In other words, one magic stone was worth 100 Valis.

For a newcomer, this harvest was already a small fortune.

Reaching his first financial milestone in Orario, August felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

The only regret was that the time spirit girl, Eina, had already finished work and was not in the guild.

...

Back at the familia's residence, Twilight Manor, August felt a moment of dizziness.

This morning, he was just an ordinary person, and this afternoon, he had become an adventurer.

"Yo, welcome back, Mom!"

"I've told you so many times, I'm not your mom!"

Thud~

As soon as the words fell, Riveria knocked Loki down with her wand.

"Ouch, it hurts, Mom!"

"I'm not your mom!"
