I wonder what the city's like!

I'm so excited, Mr. Elymas.

I'm excited, too.

We're here.

City of Adventurers\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hLacoryna

I'd heard the rumors, but this city is huge!

It's so urban!

I've never seen anything like this!

High-level dungeons tend to appear around Lacoryna, the City of Adventurers.

Many promising mid-level adventurers make it their home base for that reason,

leading some to call it the holy land of adventurers.

B-But my city of Rondalm is just as good.

Right? Right? Right?

Where's this hometown love coming from?

Either way, we're finally out of the starting levels.

I'd like to farm some levels, but first,

we need to do something about our weapons.

After we do some research at the local Adventurer's Guild,

we'll head straight to our next dungeon, right?

Yeah, that's the plan.

I-In that case, I'd better spend some skill points so I can keep up with you.

Could you pick for me?!

I don't know what to do.

I keep telling you not to show your stats to people.

Showing you isn't a problem.

First, it depends if you want to build for reliability, magic,

Crits

Dice Thrust!

If you're building for reliability or magic,

you shouldn't put points in Lady Luck until you can afford it.

Give me the strongest build, please.

I want to aim as high as I can.

That would be the crit build.

Put 15 points in Lady Luck.

Got it!

N-No hesitation!

I feel motivated now.

I'll do my best to become a crit-build Pierrot.

In that case, you'll need a certain skillbook.

What?

You'll need Grim Reaper's Grip.

Since Fang of Smoldering Insanity cost 50,000,000 gold,

expect to spend at least 100,000,000.

That much? Could I go with another build?

Either way, it'll be a while before you get it.

You'll have several times that by then.

M-My legs are starting to shake.

We're looking for information on dungeons.

You can find that over there.

After gathering information at the Lacoryna Adventurer's Guild,

How about this one?

we visited a dungeon that appeared deep in the woods on the outskirts.

It's the perfect place to procure equipment using Ruche's Lady Luck.

Centipede's Gallery Entrance

Centipede's Gallery Entrance. Recommended level: 60.

Recommended Level: 60

Let's go.

We're looking for Blacksteel equipment.

Got it.

The recommended level is high again.

The recommended level is just the Dreamlord's level.

Don't worry.

The monsters we're hunting, Smileys, are a lower level.

The Blacksteel equipment they drop

is useful for mid-level adventurers, relatively common, and valuable.

Better or worse than Blacksteel is one way equipment is measured.

I'm always impressed by how much you know about classes and dungeons and stuff.

Uh, yeah. I learned it back home.

It was drilled into me as a kid.

O-Oh, right. Um, I'm sorry.

You probably don't want to be reminded of that.

Don't worry about it.

Thanks to you, I got a clean break from the Edvaughns.

I can't tell her I can draw on memories from my past life for some reason.

There's that odd feeling of déjà vu again.

I recognize this.

Five years ago—no, before that...

Before I was even born...

I obsessively played an online VR game called Magic World,

and this world is exactly like that!

That alone is crazy, but not even I know exactly what's going on.

It makes sense that nobles would have so much information.

But if you know so much,

couldn't you make a killing working with guilds and adventurers as a skill advisor?

Th-Then you wouldn't need me anymore!

Let's keep adventuring, Mr. Elymas! Okay? Okay?!

I'll do my best!

Don't worry. I'd never do that.

Adventuring is more fun.

Oh, good. I'm relieved.

Anyway, our target has appeared.

Anyway, our target has appeared.

Monster: Smiley

A level 45 right off the bat?

Mr. Elymas, that rock-faced monster is the same level as Malice!

It's as strong as the future count!

Malice would be mad if she heard you say that.

It may be level 45 like Malice,

but monsters and people are totally different.

Smileys in particular move predictably.

They're nothing like a Master Swordsman like Malice.

I'll use my shield to stop the Smiley from speeding up and reaching full power.

Shadow Stomp

Shadow Stomp!

If I limit its movement, it can't empower its tackle by speeding up.

Disarm!

Disarm

With that Attack penalty, its damage potential is practically zero.

Now I just need to do enough damage, right?

All yours!

Acquired 689 XP

Acquired 689 XP.

Good. This is easy.

Level 43 reached.

Keep it up, Ruche.

At this rate, we could try taking on the Dreamlord.

You're sure I don't need to use Dice Thrust?

Yeah.

You just barely can't one-shot a Smiley with a six,

so it's better to attack normally.

That's true. I only roll a six about half the time.

Whatever happened to one-in-six odds?

Ruche's Luck is incredible.

An earth-type Magic Stone, and...

Look! It dropped an item!

Blacksteel Knife.

Blacksteel Knife Recommended Level: 45 Attack: +13 Market price: 4,300,000G A knife made from Blacksteel Better or worse than Blacksteel is one way equipment is measured

Attack: +13.

Market price: 4,300,000 gold.

A knife made from Blacksteel.

I figured Ruche's Lady Luck would make something drop from the first monster,

but I didn't think we'd get the knife.

What? 4,300,000?!

I-I'd better be careful with this.

We already got your equipment.

Are we going to keep farming Smileys for XP and items?

Well, considering our HP and potion consumption, let's start with ten Smileys.

T-Ten of them?

I know we took no damage just now, but it seemed hard for you.

Will you be okay?

Compared to the Embryo and Malice, this is mindless work.

And I'd like to farm at least two Dazzling Raana Decorative Blades' worth.

Blacksteel Equipment

Roughly 34,000,000G

Dazzling Raana Decorative Blades

34,000,000G

Even with Lady Luck, drops aren't guaranteed.

Is that so?

But why do we need so much money?

We need money to get stronger.

Shouldn't that be the other way around?

I-In any case, we won't struggle against the Smileys.

The real concern is...

Speak of the devil!

There are so many of them!

That's odd. Smileys don't often swarm.

Th-This seems kind of dangerous. Should we run?

No, Smileys have Speed Up.

It's better to fight them head-on.

Besides, I was just feeling underwhelmed.

Let's farm a bunch of XP and items at once.

Ruche, let's focus on reducing their numbers quickly.

Got it.

Smileys don't normally swarm, so there must be a reason or it.

I knew it. A rare Frowny.

Luck also affects rare monster spawns.

Monster: Frowny

The Frowny probably appeared due to the Luck boost from Ruche's Lady Luck.

This is because of you, Ruche.

That swarm is my fault?!

Well, yes, but not exactly.

I'll draw them to me.

Hit the one with the frown.

That's their leader.

Okay. I'll give it a shot.

Parry!

Ruche, jump.

Got it.

Shield Bash!

Ruche!

Dice Thrust!

Critical.

Acquired 772 XP

Acquired 772 XP. Level 45 reached.

Watch out, Mr. Elymas!

I'll show you what happens to Smileys once your Frowny is gone.

Parry!

Without a leader, you turn into pinballs.

Vital Slice

Vital Slice!

Now then, we're down to the last one.

You're not getting away.

Shadow Stomp

Your Blacksteel is ours!

Acquired 613 XP

Acquired 613 XP.

I thought I'd have to use Dragonrage Deathgaze,

but I got to save my strength.

You're far too dependable, Mr. Elymas.

I need to work harder.

Blacksteel Hammer.

Blacksteel Sword.

Recommended level: 45.

Attack: +15.

Market price: 4,500,000 gold.

A sword made from Blacksteel.

We both got our weapons.

We've already met the minimum I hoped to achieve.

We match!

Blacksteel is strong and easy to acquire.

The most important item is this thing the Frowny dropped.

What is that? It kind of looks like a Magic Stone.

This is very different from a Magic Stone.

It's called a Rune.

A Rune?

Runes can be inserted into weapons to boost their capabilities.

Generally speaking, only one Rune can be inserted into a weapon,

and inserting one requires the assistance of a blacksmith.

Rune of Destruction.

Market price: 20,000,000 gold.

Rune of Destruction \h\h\hMarket Price: 20,000,000G \h\h\hA destructive Rune \h\h\hBoosts weapon Attack by 30%

A destructive Rune.

Boosts weapon Attack by 30%.

We've got a real winner.

Twenty million gold?! What is this thing?

It just looks like a big marble.

It boosts weapon Attack by 30%.

I didn't think Runes were within our reach at this level.

I'm worried we'll lose it.

Quick, put it in the Magic Bag.

Drops Collected

Rune of Destruction: 20,000,000G

Blacksteel Hammer: 4,600,000G

Blacksteel Sword: 4,500,000G

Blacksteel Knife: 4,300,000G

Blacksteel Ingot: 4,000,000G

Total: 41,500,000G

That brings us to 41,500,000 gold.

Frowny Magic Stone: 900,000G

Smiley Magic Stone: 800,000G x 4

Ruche?

The total is shocking, but I'm surprised I'm not more shocked by it.

Ruche's perception of wealth is starting to sound like a Pierrot with Lady Luck.

Our goal is to defeat six more Smileys.

We got our equipment, and we leveled up.

Let's get this done quickly.

You're not counting the Frowny, huh?

Blacksteel weapons are the bare minimum for our current level.

They're hardly the most powerful items around.

And we need to keep making money

so we're ready for a Grim Reaper's Grip skillbook.

Wait, Ruche.

Translator: Sho Stifler Timer: Krzysztof Kunc Editor: Salem Alabanza Quality Control: Gabriella Alabanza Final Quality Control: Sriram Gurunathan

I thought it would take some work,

but we managed to get all the Blacksteel equipment thanks to Ruche's Lady Luck.

I know it's wrong, but having some makes me want more.

I'm pretty sure that one rare monster spawns in the Centipede's Gallery.

Next time, "Mythril Giant."

When you're grinding for cash, go big or go home!
