I’m on the third floor of the dungeon.
This floor has horned rabbits and slimes.
The horned rabbits are the same as the ones on the second floor. Not weaker or stronger.
Slimes are the famous weak monsters. Weaker than horned rabbits even. You just have to destroy their core.
Their slime spheres can be collected and sold for a hundred yen, like horned rabbit horns.
They’re slow and lack attack power, but people have to watch out for one thing. Their acidity.
It’s not that strong of an acid, but if you don’t prepare for it, the weapon you use to take them down will deteriorate.
Like this club over here. It’s in tatters by the sixth slime.
Getting only six hundred yen out of a three thousand yen club is a big loss.
I leave the dungeon, and head back to the weapon section of the store.
What should I pick? I see weapons with anti-acid coating, but they’re all over a hundred thousand yen. I can’t afford those.
There are many types of weapons, especially swords.
Swords… They’re cool.
I’ve never swung one, or any weapon before I became a seeker, for that matter.
I had never even touched a club. Weapons were something very much disconnected from my daily life.
I grab a sword just to check, and feel its weight.
Then a tingling feeling rushes through my body, and the information of the sword flows into my brain.
I wonder what it is, but when I check my stats near the cash register, I see a new skill called Trace.
How does this help? Give me something I can use.
I think as I buy three clubs.
◇ ◇ ◇
After returning to the third floor, I start avoiding fighting slimes as much as I can.
I see the staircase to the fourth floor, but sure enough, there are over a hundred slimes in front of it.
I give up and go home.
