Shadow Rogue

Vol 1 Chapt 28 Terror of Exploding Magic Spiders II

After sweeping the loot, Rui only looted a total of 8 pieces of equipment after they had slaughtered over 200 Ghosts Miners. The drop rate was really saddening, but considering these were just normal monsters, it was already pretty decent. Looking over at Yezekael and his party, they had only gotten a single piece of equipment from a monster which Sasha had killed.

Looking over the drops, he found that there were 5 weapons, 2 pieces of clothing and a pair of shoes! As for the weapons and clothing, they were nothing compared to his own, but he examined the shoes with interest.

The pair of shoes were not bad; they were at least better than his current Grey Wolf shoes. Rui immediately equipped them.

"The rest of these gears are useless to me, you guys have a look and see if there's anything that will be of use to you, guys." Rui passed along the rest of the loot, along with his old pair of Gray Wolf Shoes, to the rest of the party. Looking at the 8 pieces of gear, Yezekael could only gape in surprise.

"What! Are you a GM? How can you be so abnormal?" Sasha glared at Rui exasperatedly, feeling the imbalance of the situation.

'It has been barely 1 hour and this b-tard already got 8 pieces of equipment as drops? Even though there's a higher drop rate if one was the first person to enter the dungeon instance, this is overly ridiculous, especially when there aren't any boss monsters among these enemies! But look at the rest of them. They worked their butts off but only got a single piece of equipment as loot! Not only was their killing rate way slower than Rui's, even their drop rate was an eighth of his! They were all players, so why was he so strong and so lucky? How could he have discovered a hidden quest and even a dungeon instance?!' The more Sasha thought, the more indignant she became.

"Uhm... You should probably ask the game company." Perhaps Rui was in a good mood from getting so much loot, he shrugged and cracked a rare joke.

"Woah, so you can actually joke!" Upon seeing Rui's action, Sweet Little Girl looked as if she had discovered a new continent; her eyes were firmly staring at Rui, without blinking.

"Ahem, okay the joke is over!." Being stared at by a bunch of people, especially Sweet Little Girl with her weird expression, Rui felt uncomfortable and changed the subject after coughing twice, he firmly said, "Okay, report your remaining game time."

"3 hours and 36 minutes!"
"4 hours and 5 minutes!"
"3 hours and 17 minutes!"
"2 hours and 42 minutes!"

After listening to the party's report, Rui couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. Within the party, Yezekael had the least time remaining, a little more than 2 hours. Rui himself had about 3 hours left. At their rate of clearing, it might be impossible for them to complete the dungeon. Still, it was just an estimate since they did not know how big the mine was exactly, so they could only take it one step at a time.

"Let's go, we can't waste any more time." After a quick rest, Rui led them deeper into the mines.

After passing a large hall in the mines, they finally entered the cave where the real monsters were. Earlier they had only been killing the Ghost Miners, and not the real monsters. The real ones were underneath.

"Halt! We've got to move quietly from here on!"

After passing a turn and entering a low and damp stone tunnel, Rui spotted more than 10 small Spiders ahead, and immediately held up a hand to stop the party. Nodding to each other, they stealthily moved closer and closer forward...
