Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

"But is there any way to make money?!"

Chapter 29: There are so many magic stones, you can never pick them all up!

Artemis was right. Why would one venture into the dungeon? To make money, of course!

The guild strictly prohibits any god from entering the dungeon for any reason.

The reason.

Because the dungeon itself is "alive" and hates gods very much. Once it is discovered that divine power is used in the dungeon,

It will go out of control and trigger a series of uncontrollable dangerous events.

This is even more terrifying than the "malice of the dungeon" that terrifies adventurers in the dungeon. It is a crisis specifically targeting gods!

Furthermore, if a god is killed in a dungeon, he will not return to the divine realm, but will be "swallowed" by the dungeon.

What consequences this will lead to is unknown.

But it's obviously not a good thing.

Gods are "immortal". Even if they are killed in the lower world, they will only be sent back to heaven to sleep. After ten thousand years, they can still come to this world again.

But if you are swallowed in the dungeon, it means you will die completely?

But there is no way.

Even with such a risk, Artemis still had to enter the dungeon to get money!

Paying back 10 million faris a month is too much for the young goddess!!

"Didn't Master Demeter recommend you to work at the potato ball stand?"

"Only 300 faris an hour, how can that be enough?!"

"Not bad. Eighteen hours a day, that's 1 faris, much more than an average LV adventurer earns."

"Who works eighteen hours a day?! And even if I don't eat or drink and don't spend a penny for a month, I can only save a few hundred thousand faris. That's totally not enough!"

"That's right..."

El couldn't help but nod, thinking that the beautiful girl god in front of him was not stupid.

Artemis did have an idea.

With her strength, even without using divine power, she would not encounter any danger in the upper and middle levels of the dungeon maze.

After all, he is the god in charge of "hunting", and his archery skills can be said to be "superb" compared to ordinary adventurers.

Six years ago during the Great Struggle, the girl brought her family to Orario to support the fight against the dark factions, and she was able to defeat many enemies with just her archery skills.

and so.

After entering the dungeon, if you are lucky.

You can encounter rare monsters, like the [Young Dragon] on the upper floor, or the resurrection of the Solitary King [Goat] on the seventeenth floor, or go to the "Big Tree Maze" on the twentieth floor to collect some rare materials...

In Orario, if you want to make a lot of money quickly, you still have to rely on adventurers!

"But I remember that if a god sneaks into the dungeon and reports it to the guild, they can make a lot of money."

"!!!"

Artemis looked at El with disbelief, and an extremely complicated expression appeared on her cold and pretty face.

"How about this, goddess, how about you come and support me?"

Al suddenly had a good idea.

"Supporters?"

"Fifty-fifty."

"Um……"

……

So many magic stones! So many magic stones!!

There are too many magic stones. I can never pick them all up. I simply can't pick them all up!!

"Don't be lazy, Master Artemis."

"No way!!"

Looking at the beautiful girl god squatting on the ground and "working hard", El felt that his decision was really wise.

At this time, everyone had reached the 8th floor of the dungeon maze.

This is similar to the previous 1-4 levels.

They are all crisscrossed caves, but the walls have changed from the original light green to brown-gray, the corridors have become narrower and longer, and the ceiling has suddenly increased from about three or four meters to nearly ten meters.

At the towering end, a faint phosphorescence emits a strong light like the sun.

The ground looked like a grassland, full of dead and yellow weeds.

At this moment, El was not using the common crossbow in this world as before, but a weapon that was completely unfamiliar to both Liu and Artemis.

The pitch-black steel wrapped around half of the boy's arm, like some wide arm armor that didn't fit him at all, or like two shields.

however.

A loud roaring sound will be emitted from the hole in the hand, and white light like electric current will be ejected, directly blasting the monster that has just been refreshed into pieces.

It was truly shattered. The dark body of the demonic shadow known as the [Rookie Killer] exploded like ink rain in an instant, and its proud sharp claws flew out, turning into ashes in the instant after the magic stone left its body.

Al said the weapon he used was called a "hand cannon."

It was a weapon that Ryu and Artemis had never seen or heard of.

Ha people!

The elf girl, who was originally leaning against the wall of the cave and silently doing math problems, looked at El's "exaggerated" fighting style and couldn't help but think of Lunova's description of him.

[It's also a pretty incredible monster.]

This is true.

Liu now also has this feeling.

"This thing is much more useful than a crossbow."

Feeling the brand new handheld weapon, Al felt that there was nothing wrong with the new attempt he was planning to make after his [Ability Value] improved.

In the heavens, the daily weapons used by sharpshooters generally include automatic pistols, crossbows, revolvers, rifles and hand cannons.

Mechanics like Al are generally accustomed to carrying automatic pistols.

Because it is small and convenient.

But correspondingly, its power is much smaller.

Later, he switched to using a crossbow because this traditional long-range weapon was also lightweight and common in this other world.

It also has quite good penetrating power, and is very useful for dealing with small monsters such as goblins.

From time to time, he could even string the brains of several goblins and gnolls together.

And now the hand cannon that Al uses.

As the name suggests, it means "hand-held cannon".

It is extremely powerful, but also quite heavy, and is a difficult weapon to use. Generally in the heavens, only gunners who fight on the front lines and are accustomed to carrying heavy equipment will consider it as a personal weapon.

But for Ai'er now, the entry-level hand cannon is a "quite light weapon."

Because of the improvement of [Ability Value].

Whether it was strength or endurance, Al could clearly feel that in just a few days, his physical fitness had grown by leaps and bounds.

The hand cannon, which used to feel heavy, is now slowly becoming as convenient as a pistol.

This is a bit of an exaggeration.

But Al had no doubt that as his [Ability Value] continued to rise, he would indeed be able to break through the limits of his body.

It's amazing.

The "panel" bestowed upon mortals by the gods of this world is such a miraculous thing.

The more this happened, the more Al became curious about the extent to which the so-called "device" would expand after his upgrade.

and so.

Keep killing monsters!

He took out the RX-60 Trap Tracker again. The small robot began to twist as if twitching, while emitting a somewhat dazzling crimson alarm light.

soon.

Accompanied by a rustling sound that makes your teeth ache.

Monsters like a tide rushed towards the three people again.

No way? !

Artemis couldn't help but sigh, why are there so many monsters again? ! !

I haven't even finished picking up all the magic stones from the previous wave. This is going to be endless, right?!

Chapter 30: This Can't Be Eaten

"Master Artemis, wait, let me burn it first."

Using a knife to peel out magic stones from monsters is indeed a professional and troublesome job.

So Al is the same as always.

Using his previous "new discovery", he pulled the trigger of the flamethrower towards the monster corpses on the ground.

The scorching flames instantly ignited the piles of corpses of numerous monsters, and with the continued high temperature, the remaining flesh and blood gradually carbonized and eventually collapsed.

Whether it is a battle shadow with a black body and a simple iron armor;

There are always dense swarms of killer ants, like the size of adult puppies;

The cute, small and very flexible pincer rabbit;

And the goblins and kobolds as always...

After reaching the eighth floor.

There are also many more types of monsters.

But no matter what they look like, they all look the same when roasted under high temperature.

The magic stone hidden in its body gradually fell out due to the unstable structure.

then.

As the first magic stone detached, the monster's body turned into ashes, like dominoes, and in the blink of an eye, only broken magic stones were left on the ground.

It's even a little hot.

The whole process takes no more than a minute, which can be called simple and efficient!

It's just that the smell is quite bad.

However, this time, El was thoughtful enough to bring a gas mask and even an oxygen tank, which he put on himself, Liu, and Artemis.

"Okay, we can get back to work."

"what……"

A completely powerless sound was made.

The divine girl, who continued to squat on the ground picking up magic stones, was feeling quite complicated at the moment.

First of all, so many magic stones can definitely be exchanged for a lot of money.

But secondly, I haven't stopped since I came here, and I've already picked up several bags of magic stones! !

But looking at the magic stones that were still scattered all over the corridor, Artemis felt that today's work seemed to be endless.
