I leveled up after my last kobold battle.
I’m level five, and I have one more Storage Gate, but it looks like this one has a Time Delay ability.
Time Delay is one of the features the Storage skill gets as it grows, and apparently it’s available even when it’s F rank. Also, I can only make one Storage Gate with the Time Delay ability, the other four are still normal.
Sadly, I have no idea what use I could have for this ability. It feels like it could be useful in my daily life, but not in a dungeon. I think I could store hot coffee in it instead of a magic bottle.
If I shoot out a hot liquid, it might cause damage. Well, coffee wouldn’t do much, but hot oil or lava could work.
In any case, I should be thinking about what to do next instead.
Having all F stats and an F skill makes me officially the weakest, so I doubted that I could work as a seeker, let alone become the greatest… But I have discovered that I can make fifty thousand yen in a single exploration.
And since I’m mining the mostly untouched ceiling crystals, I can’t see my revenue going down unless the price of ether crashes.
On the other hand, I know it will be hard to make more than I make now. The bottleneck is how much I can carry. There’s only so much I can carry, so there’s only so much money I can make.
Well, if I can make a million in twenty days, that’s more than I made in one month in my old job. Not to mention that I’m working two hours a day, so I can double it if I start going in the morning and afternoon.
That means I can earn twenty-four million a year working four hours a day with two days off every week. Wait, isn’t this a winning formula?
……
…
Hold on. I think I’m getting carried away.
Let’s stick to my initial plan. I want to be the greatest seeker.
But if I want more, I need to either collect more valuable materials, or find people to join me so I can collect more efficiently.
Finding teammates will be hard for me, but maybe I’ll ask her for advice.

“That’s the issue, Miss Sawaki.”
“No, how… You’re doing well, Mister Oonuki. Eh? Really?”
I’m at the Saitama branch of the Seeker Association, in front of Miss Sawaki. I’m here to ask her for some guidance.
Yes, the same person who told me I wasn’t cut out to be a seeker. Well, considering the information she had, it’s only natural that she reacted that way.
When people get their seeker license, they are assigned handlers, and one of their jobs is to listen to problems and give advice like this.
I hope she has something good for me.

The wise person declares, your wishes have already been granted.
But the man turns his back on a peaceful road, rejecting it. He wishes not for salvation, he seeks the path of Asura. A one way ticket to hell.
What will the wise person see in the man’s desires? The door of destiny is opening.
