I love time travel the most!

Raul scratched his cheek awkwardly.

That's a bit hurtful.

Indeed, he was only a Level 4 [Superhuman] and seemed to have little experience, but he was an indispensable member of the expedition team, serving as a mediator and organizing guides for the expedition members.

"You guys, catch up outside later. Raul, what's the purpose of your visit?"

Gubernius, who had just received the order, was getting impatient and urged the group to leave quickly.

Raul stepped forward, took out a piece of ore about the size of his palm, and said, "God Gubnew, I would like to ask you to use this piece of ore to make a small round shield."

"A small round shield? Hmm, the simple equipment suits you quite well."

Gubernius made a casual remark that made Raul scratch his cheek in embarrassment once again.

He knew that he lacked talent compared to the Sword Maiden Ais and the Werewolf Bert, and was just an ordinary superhuman, but being bluntly called out still made him a little embarrassed.

Gubernu picked up the ore and examined it carefully.

I waited for a long time, but there was still no reply.

Raul, curious, exchanged a glance with the swordswoman Ais and the dark-skinned Diona, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Um... Gubnew, this ore can..."

"Quiet down, don't disturb me!"

I didn't expect to be interrupted so abruptly.

The strange behavior of Guberniu left the three of them completely bewildered. However, they obediently remained silent and waited patiently for the other to finish his investigation.

half an hour.

Gubernus raised his head, his eyes filled with curiosity, and asked, "Did you find this ore in the dungeon? Is it a new one that appeared on the 50th floor? How much is there, and how difficult is it to mine?"

He posed a series of questions that left people speechless for a moment.

It was the mature and honest Raul who took the initiative to speak: "Actually, this ore was given to me as a reward by someone; it wasn't produced in the dungeon. God Gubenyu, is there some kind of rare or special ore in this ore?"

"Special, very special! Even I have never seen anything like it!"

One sentence startled the three of them.

If an ordinary person said they'd never seen it before, they could be dismissed as ignorant. But this white-haired old man was a god who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, and the god of forging at that. If he said he'd never seen it, then it must be an extremely special ore.

"Whether it's hardness or toughness, it's better than the material used to make the Undying Sword. You understand what I mean."

Gubernius kept playing with the ore in his hand.

This has been made clear.

Ais, who wanted to become stronger, looked at the ore in the hand of Gubernius with intense longing in her eyes.

Early on the third day.

"Mmm~~~~~~"

Xiao Lin stretched lazily, feeling refreshed after a whole night of tossing and turning.

With Ryuko's help, it ended quickly.

The two then walked out of the hotel together.

"Lord Kobayashi, shall we go to the dungeon now?"

"No, let's go to the guild first."

He wants to exchange the magic stones and materials he collected in the dungeon over the past two days for money.

Kobayashi had already found out that today was Eina's day off, so going now would be a perfect opportunity to avoid her.

As the second most important facility in the Labyrinth City, the Adventurers' Guild's fairness is widely recognized.

After clearing out the magic stones and materials, he received a large reward.

—A whopping 180 million Fali!

The materials and half-person-high magic stones dropped by the floor master, LV4 Goliath, account for half of the bounty, while the rest are magic stones and materials dropped by the minotaurs.

However, the guild's sales clerk is indeed a professional.

Even though Kobayashi brought out so many and so extravagant materials, she remained expressionless and showed no surprise whatsoever.

...Could it be that they think Kobayashi represents a certain clan or adventurer's party?

Never mind, it's nothing.

Then Xiaolin went to the pharmacy.

After the incident of the wolf attacking someone, Kobayashi realized that he had to carry some medicine with him just in case. Otherwise, if he used the [Explosion Magic] again and suffered serious injuries due to excessive consumption, even Ryuji wouldn't be able to save him.

I actually have two bottles of Aqua's Holy Water on me, but its effects are more purifying than healing, so it's better to keep some on hand as a precaution.

Soon, he spent 15 Fali to buy a bottle of superior healing potion and two bottles of mana recovery potion.

With these three bottles of medicine, Xiaolin immediately felt more confident.

Now, there is another problem.

He desperately needs a skilled blacksmith or tailor because there isn’t enough silk thread!

This was something Kobayashi hadn't expected.

The high frequency of monster hunts and the consecutive battles with the pigman Ota and the werewolf Bert caused the gloves to be consumed much faster than he expected.

My gloves have gone from being fully covered to being partially covered, and they'll probably be used up soon.

no way.

We can go back and get more ore, but let's use it for now.

But where can we find a blacksmith?

And the blacksmith has to be someone who satisfies him.

On a whim, Kobayashi randomly pushed open an equipment shop, hoping to stumble upon a skilled but underappreciated blacksmith who wanted to prove himself and solve his weapon problem.

But when he randomly opened the doors of more than a dozen equipment shops, he didn't happen to find a suitable blacksmith.

Xiaolin only stopped hoping for a windfall when she started to get annoyed.

As expected, he wasn't the main character.

If Sato Kazuma, who's incredibly lucky, were to come, he'd surely find a suitable blacksmith.

It seems the only option is to save up money quickly and then find a high-level blacksmith from the Gubney or Hephaestus Familia.

Sigh.

In the end, they can't escape the fate of being working people.

They immediately headed towards the underground city.

However, as he walked toward the towering white chalk tower that seemed to pierce the clouds in the distance, he did not notice a red-haired man with a furious expression and menacing demeanor walking into the equipment shop he had just left.

And soon after they went inside, an argument broke out.

A menacing red-haired man stood in front of the counter, gesticulating wildly and arguing loudly with the shop owner.

However, all of this was no longer relevant to Kobayashi, as he had already arrived in the dungeon.

To be precise, it's the 16th floor.

"【Dimensional Array】is so useful! It saves me a lot of time, allowing me to be a more productive worker. It's great!"

Although Kobayashi's expression was kind and smiling, it was not hard to hear from his tone that he was very resentful.

It was probably like it had returned to its previous life as a beast of burden, so it decided to vent its anger on these minotaurs.

"Hey hah—the little flying stick is here!"

Kobayashi quickly cleared out all the minotaurs on this floor.

But when he was about to step onto the 17th floor, he stopped.

Could someone be waiting for me?

No, no, no, that grumpy werewolf Bert is injured. Knowing his personality, he would never tell anyone, so he definitely needs to rest for a few days.

Ota probably won't come back either; it seems there's definitely no one waiting for him on the lower levels!

Then--

When Xiaolin arrived at the 17th floor master's room, he saw a figure.

The girl had long, straight golden hair that reached her waist, radiating a brilliance comparable to any gold treasure. Her back was exposed, revealing her fair and slender back, and the soft limbs extending from her armor were breathtakingly beautiful.

Turning her head, she looked at Kobayashi with golden eyes and a very aloof expression. She possessed a beauty that rivaled that of a goddess, and an aura like that of an ethereal being from a tale of heroes.

It was Fiora.

When Xiaolin saw her, he wasn't happy or excited; instead, he had a constipated expression on his face.

Whoops!

Please don't do this, I want to go to the 18th floor!

Chapter 222 Gold Coins Exploded, Old Man!

Fame, fortune, power, or even chance encounters—you can get everything in the dungeon. This seems to have become a truism in the labyrinth city.

Just look at that cowardly rabbit who's clearly weak to the core but has grand dreams; that idiot has always firmly believed in them.

think carefully.

The girl before him was at the top of the labyrinth city in terms of appearance, strength, and status.

And such a pretty girl is waiting in the dungeon, hoping to adventure with you and deepen your feelings for each other. If you can cooperate with each other in battle, you might even develop feelings for each other. How can such a plot not be exciting?

...except for Kobayashi.

It wasn't that I disliked Ais the Swordswoman or found her troublesome; I simply felt wronged.

All I wanted to do was get to the safe zone on the 18th floor, so why were they blocking my way one by one?

He passed by his home (the safe zone) three times without going in.

Am I Yu the Great, the one who's taming the floods? You bastard!
