Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

And the interior is like a condensed warehouse, where everything is piled up in one place.

You can't just take out whatever you want.

When Shirou Emiya pulled out his weapons, he had to look for the one he needed to use right now.

If you put too many weapons in, you will inevitably need to spend some time finding the items you need.

As for food, it's even more unacceptable to put it inside.

After all, the Night Hat's storage space is more like something that encompasses the items, rather than a spacious area.

Adding another item will free up space for weapons.

The food was placed inside, and by the time Shirou Emiya took it out, it had been basically crushed into crumbs and distributed inside the Noh hat.

Basically, softer items cannot be put into the night hat.

They made their way up from the first floor to the sixteenth floor.

Emiya Shirou had no idea how many monsters he had slain that emerged from the dungeon.

Even with the sacred remains, he constantly reduced his own physical exertion by using breathing techniques to face thousands of different monsters, plus dozens of hours of highly focused combat.

Even Shirou Emiya gets tired.

There are very few places to rest in the entire underground city.

You never know when a monster might appear behind you and attack you.

When venturing into the dungeon, you not only need to calculate how much stamina you will need to descend to each level, but you also need to conserve how much stamina you will need to return to the surface.

For some time now, Shirou Emiya has not formed a team and has been making his way to the sixteenth floor all by himself.

Because Shirou Emiya didn't have a team, he had to pick up all the materials and magic crystals by himself.

It can be said that Shirou Emiya spent the most time in the dungeon collecting these materials and magic crystals.

It took Shirou Emiya almost twice as long to kill those monsters.

Although he only needs a small amount of money, enough to make ends meet.

However, the materials from Hephaestus's side are not something Shirou Emiya can use at will; they all need to be purchased with money.

As a blacksmith, besides the most basic forging skills, there is also the control over materials.

Only by knowing which materials are suitable for which items can one forge a weapon that truly satisfies one's desires.

Therefore, the materials Shirou Emiya used for forging at Hephaestus's place were basically items that he purchased from various places and obtained from dungeons.

This is extremely expensive.

The basic materials are fine, but the steel in Hephaestus's workshop is top-quality.

Most of the weapons that Shirou Emiya forged and sold were given to Hephaestus.

After all, while the weapons Shirou Emiya forged were practical, he himself wasn't famous for forging, and in the past ten days or so, he had only sold a few weapons.

Emiya Shirou arrived at the dungeon in the morning, and by the time he reached the sixteenth floor, it was already afternoon outside.

If they return now, it will be nighttime. If they delay any longer, Shirou Emiya will only be able to eat a hot meal late at night.

You should know that it was late at night, and the "Abundant Mistress" was already planning to close, but Shirou Emiya arrived here.

As expected, Mia gave him a severe scolding.

The shop assistants also gave Emiya Shirou a good thrashing.

"After this, let's find some people to team up with and try to conquer the dungeon again!"

Shirou Emiya looked at the adventure map in his hand and began to retrace his steps to return to the ground.

This is the limit of his exploration.

It wasn't that Shirou Emiya couldn't defeat these monsters; it was just that he couldn't continue exploring due to resource constraints.

Such continuous fighting for dozens of hours would be extremely taxing on Shirou Emiya.

Even if Shirou Emiya manages to reach the eighteenth safe level to rest, he cannot continue exploring without food.

Alone, Shirou Emiya naturally couldn't possibly venture into the dungeon with a large backpack.

The backpack was too restrictive for him.

Unlike those small teams, where some are responsible for logistics, some for support, some for treatment, and some for vigilance.

Emiya Shirou, however, needed to be highly focused to bear all of this.

For adventurers, the worst thing is to be isolated and helpless.

Dungeons show no mercy to adventurers, whether by using traps or overwhelming them with sheer numbers of monsters.

It has always fought with the intention of killing adventurers.

Chapter 435 Alone

Nighttime is when Orario is at its most lively.

Whether it's a vendor shouting on the street or an adventurer drinking heavily in a tavern.

The whole street was filled with a noisy atmosphere.

The jewel-like moon shone brightly in the sky, and countless stars shone continuously in the night sky.

The vast majority of adventurers have already returned from the dungeons and begun to enjoy their lives.

Just like normal people living in Orario, most adventurers choose to go to the dungeon during the day and return to Orario at dusk.

Put down your exhausted body and use the gold coins you've earned through your hard work to relax your mind and body before exploring the dungeon again.

This is also the moment that many adventurers love the most.

After all, not everyone can be like Shirou Emiya, heading into the dungeon every day.

An adventurer's life is not just about exploring dungeons.

"Ugh—! Emiya, you're back so late again!"

In the brightly lit guild hall, Eina placed the documents in her hand slowly on the table with a smile.

"Hmm, if we don't collect those dropped magic cores and materials, we should be able to save a lot of time—"

Emiya Shirou responded to Eina with a wry smile. If it weren't for the large amount of time he had spent collecting items, he probably would have already reached the eighteenth safe level.

However, he did not show any regret or self-blame.

Exploring dungeons was originally just one way for Shirou Emiya to earn money.

During this time, it would be ideal to venture deeper into the dungeon, but if it's not possible, it's not a big deal for Shirou Emiya.

"Well! I already told you, Emiya, that it's best to team up with others when going into dungeons. That way, you can help each other out if you encounter any crises."

Eina has been trying to persuade Shirou Emiya to team up with others and go to the dungeon.

The dungeon itself is fraught with danger, not to mention that Shirou Emiya is an ordinary person who has never received any blessings.

It seems inappropriate to describe Emiya Shirou, who can single-handedly enter the sixteenth floor, as an ordinary person.

But Eina could find no other adjective to describe someone who had not received any blessings.

"There's nothing we can do about it!"

Shirou Emiya could only shrug and express his helplessness.

It wasn't that he didn't want to team up, it's just that almost no one was willing to team up with Emiya Shirou.

After reaching the middle level, Shirou Emiya's fame in Orario experienced another surge.

Being able to go to the middle level alone means that Shirou Emiya is at least a Level 2 adventurer.

This is no ordinary situation. In Orario, almost half of the adventurers are at LV1, which is a high wall standing in front of countless adventurers.

I wonder how many people never manage to break through level 1 and reach level 2 in their entire lives.

This is an obstacle that requires sufficient qualifications to overcome.

In Orario, adventurers at level 1 are even referred to as lower-level adventurers.

No one will pay attention to a Level 1 adventurer.

Shirou Emiya, without receiving any divine blessing, reached a level that most adventurers could never achieve in their entire lives.

This is both shocking and enviable.

Almost all adventurers did not believe that Shirou Emiya was a human who had not received any blessings.

But with the confirmation of those gods, they had no choice but to believe that Shirou Emiya possessed such power.

However, those adventurers did not trust Shirou Emiya.

It wasn't out of jealousy, but simply because Shirou Emiya hadn't accepted the gift.

Besides aptitude, the most important thing for adventurers to improve their level is [Great Achievement].

To put it simply, "great achievements" are what we call experience points in the game.

The accumulation of great achievements is related to the strength of the opponents and the difficulty of the situation. The stronger the opponent is defeated or the greater the difficulty overcome, the more great achievements can be accumulated. At the same time, great achievements will also be distributed within the team according to certain rules.

However, Shirou Emiya has neither the grace nor the need to elevate himself through great deeds.

If you bring Shirou Emiya into the party, then there will be a missing part of the [Great Achievement] in the party.

Although the great cause was distributed to others, the adventurers themselves did not receive it.

However, assigning great achievements to someone like Shirou Emiya who has absolutely no need for them is like a complete waste. Even though I know that if I replaced Shirou Emiya with someone else, I wouldn't receive those great achievements either, I still feel heartbroken about this direct abandonment of great achievements.

Given Shirou Emiya's level of ability, it's impossible for them to entrust him with the role of someone who doesn't accept support for any great cause.

Instead of making Shirou Emiya a supporter, it would be better to find a supporter who is familiar with the dungeon.

On the other hand, a gift is not merely a means of enhancing power, but also a manifestation of strength.

Everyone knows what kind of strength a Level 1 adventurer possesses and what kind of position they can hold.

What is the approximate strength range of a LV2 adventurer? And what about LV3 and LV4 adventurers?
