Having remodeled the dungeon, we once again opened it to the public.
Personally, I thought we made it too easy following all of Masayuki’s suggestion.
How was the reaction?
First, the idiots who wouldn’t listen to the explanation (who only made it up to the 2nd floor at best) were able to get to the third floor.
But, they can’t clear it.
Even so, they challenge it again and again.
What’s pushing them so hard?
Their masters’ orders? Pride?
Not at all. It was a far more practical reason.
Seems like Basson’s acquired weapon, the longsword, was pretty damn good.
Compared to adventurer’s equipment, that is.
Moreover, I had thought it was Kurobee’s work, but it was one of his disciple’s.
And this disciple’s longsword, if ranked normally, would be a high class blade.
At best, it could be ranked as a Special high class blade.
On the market place, a high quality sword is ten times the price. A special blade is fifty times.
Of those who can acquire one, even those affiliated with the army may have a hard time.
So I can completely understand the sudden change in passion.
「Oi, rascals, behold! Doesn’t this beautiful blade fit me!」
Thanks to Basson’s shameless boasting, we have had more guests recently.
Unexpectedly, he is good publicity for our country, so I am thankful.
But, when it all comes down to it, he isn’t one to plan these things.
Now, even those with half a brain-cell are listening to ur explanation and are using the first floor to practice.
Having practiced there, they return to arrange their equipment (which, of course, adds to our profit) and again challenge the dungeon.
And thus, we have those who were able to clear the third floor.
Floors 3-5 are easily cleared with proper mapping skills, so they were able to clear them.
The rest is all up to actual ability.
And by the time these adventurers left the labyrinth, the adventurers from various countries came piling in because of rumors.
Which led to a fierce race to conquer the labyrinth.
Some, of course, started selling maps, so we decided to announce that the labyrinth will be changing.
You have to draw your own map, or it’s meaningless. Map drawing is a fundamental skill they all need to survive.
Based on their estimates, it takes 2-3 days to clear a floor; at best, a day.
Which is why all the adventurers tacitly agreed to hold a strategy meeting each time the labyrinth changes.
Adventurers affiliated with the Freedom Association were clearly on a different level.
They formed teams not composed solely of monster extermination team, but also of gatherers and scavengers.
