Season 2 hadn’t modified a lot drastically, and days handed similar to that.

Amount over high quality, high quality over amount. Each sayings match because the Empire’s folks poured in droves. In fact, it wasn’t simply mid-rank and above who crossed over from the Empire to the Kingdom.

Maybe as a result of the Tower, the place the temple forces and Kingdom’s knights have been stationed, appeared safer than the monster-infested northern Empire. The market was packed day-after-day of the week as low-rank adventurer hopefuls flocked in to mine mana stones whereas preventing goblins.

In fact, because the variety of low-rank adventurers elevated, so did the variety of blockheads and F-ranks, resulting in extra incidents. However proportionally, it hadn’t elevated that a lot.

“Ugh, it is so crowded. Ought to we actually transfer to the fiftieth flooring?”

“That may not be a foul thought. Did not they are saying the stone dwarves repaired the entire metropolis?”

“I heard they rushed in and completely restored the town in only a week.”

So the discuss among the many group was about transferring to the fiftieth flooring. For Irene, it took lower than 5 minutes utilizing the gate to get to the temple, and since Han Se-ah was gifted the mansion, the remainder of the group did not have mansions within the metropolis anyway, so it was value contemplating.

Irrespective of what number of high-rank adventurers from the Empire had flooded into the Tower, it will be much less crowded than the town stuffed with low-rank adventurers, mercenaries, and laborers.

As Han Se-ah casually introduced it up, Grace and Irene instantly nodded in settlement. Maybe it was as a result of they stored getting lewd seems now that there have been so many dark-skinned males round. They appeared to love the thought extra intensely than anticipated.

In fact, I used to be in favor of it too. After going through the berserk ogre on the 51st flooring, it appeared our celebration members may not breeze by.

“We should always undoubtedly transfer our quarters to the fiftieth flooring. It’s going to be a great likelihood to improve our gear too.”

“Tools upgrades? Ah, the stone dwarves’ mana stones and enhancement stones.”

-Yeah, seems like they’re critically missing harm in opposition to ogres

-Is not this the Roland Ballista celebration anyway? Wanna make a more durable Roland Ballista?

-Come to consider it, weren’t the stone dwarves going loopy promoting enhancement stones and stuff? Why have not they achieved something with these?

-Why? As a result of the bomb addict solely checked out bombs as an alternative of enhancement stones lololololololol

-Enhancement stones have an opportunity of failure, however bombs at all times explode, so aren’t bombs 100 instances higher? No? Sure?

Come to consider it, we did not know what the reward for this fiftieth flooring was. Often, there have been gate utilization rights, magic objects from the Magic Tower, numerous factions providing help, and gamers getting an additional system help.

This time, we have been in a frenzied state when clearing the fiftieth flooring, and after I opened my eyes, we have been already in a carriage heading to the Empire. The patch additionally made time fly by.

However one factor was for certain – our group’s gear hadn’t been upgraded but. In fact, that was pure since we had a bomb maniac who solely took bombs as an alternative of enhancement stones from the stone dwarves.

Irrespective of how good bombs have been, now that enhancement stones have been out, we must always improve our gear. In any other case, we might be dropping our fundamentals as RPG customers.

…Although watching Han Se-ah throw bombs made me surprise if this was actually an RPG.

“Then we will earn cash exploring the plains for some time, and use that to have the stone dwarf artisans improve our gear on the fiftieth flooring.”

“However these equipments have been made by the Magic Tower. Can the stone dwarves actually improve them?”

Is not there a stone dwarf district left within the Harpy capital? Looks as if settling there would work

The scenario the place a single phrase decided the world’s #1 lodging location. Now that it was the 52nd flooring, and there was no method they’d construct a mansion on that inexperienced plain enduring goblins, the fiftieth flooring lodgings would probably be maintained for some time. Maybe that was why not simply the chat, however donations began going wild too.

{Dollars}, yen, euros, and even the streaming website’s frequent cash. At this level, it appeared like Han Se-ah had sharply caught on to the money-making angle, given how excited the donations have been getting.

Some guys even introduced pictures about feng shui and began evaluating cities, to which some Western nerds responded by bringing reconstruction photographs of the fiftieth flooring metropolis, restored from the aerial view briefly captured over the last Harpy Empress boss battle, stating key areas.

…A 3D reconstruction? Had been they insane, for actual?

“By the way in which, I ponder if there are any appropriate locations for lodgings?”

“Harpy lodgings will not have ceilings, so how about we take a look at the stone dwarf district?”

“True, the stone dwarf brothers’ workshop road did have an identical really feel to human buildings.”

Whereas Han Se-ah smiled contentedly, struck by a cash storm amidst the donation tempest, our group chatted. Harpy mansions undoubtedly had points for human habitation, like no doorways on the primary flooring or open ceilings.

Even when there have been doorways, they have been for stone dwarf slaves or human laborers, so the primary and second flooring have been typically not linked. So what we would have liked to seek out was a stone dwarf-style constructing between the underground and the 51st flooring gate.

Among the many numerous nonsensical opinions showered on Han Se-ah, in the event you picked out solely the smart ones, there have been some similarities to our celebration’s opinions.

“Hmm? Aren’t these the Squishy Heroes?!”

“You are proper? The Squishy Hero has returned!”

Pondering that, we headed in the direction of the stone dwarf district within the Harpy Empire, a spot that was a slave administration workplace however was now liberated as a workshop road. Some stone dwarves got here rolling in the direction of us.

Sounds of gravel grinding, stones rolling ta-da-dak, even clapping seems like pak-pak. As they made such a commotion, curious harpies flew overhead, startled, and fled. From distant, a stone dwarf shouting in a shrill voice got here operating.

Who was it… the one apprentice of the stone dwarf who constructed the town, who was with Laurencia… however I could not bear in mind the identify.

“Ah, Granny Shasha!”

“Sure, huge Squishies. What brings you right here once more?”

Ah, it was Granny Shasha.

As Irene, along with her good reminiscence, began chatting with a brilliant smile, the stone dwarves who crowded round additionally learn the temper and quietly began to hear.

“You are on the lookout for lodgings to remain in?”

“I am going to! I am going to construct it for you!”

“You little runt, what are you saying? In relation to buildings, I am the one!”

However that silence did not final lengthy.

Once they heard we have been on the lookout for lodgings, as an alternative of occupied with displaying us round, they have been stuffed with concepts about demolishing empty workshops and constructing new ones. Taking a look at this, I puzzled if I actually lacked sensitivity in the direction of different races.

“Everybody shut up! They’re my visitors, so I am going to construct it,” Granny Shasha declared firmly.

And seeing that even Granny Shasha did not cease them, much more so.

Han Se-ah’s expression twisted in bewilderment as she ended up being pressured to purchase a constructing out of the blue.
