D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

Twenty-one floors are wetlands.

That said, the whole place is covered in water, and it seems to include not only places where water comes from grass when stepping in, but also places like lake and marsh areas.

The place that appeared on the 21st floor was a place like the so-called bog (* 1), and its feet were covered with poor grass and cedar.

Away from the loose ends and militia communications hubs, we chose a route that kept us as far away from monsters as possible.

"The main monsters that appear in the 21st floor wetlands are Love Phis Python, Water Reaper and Witch Needle."

Love Dophis Python is a waterfront snake that ranges from two meters up to five meters. To tell you the truth, it's a big yamagata.

The water leaper is a 50cm toad, but it has no limbs and instead has a feather-like twist and a pointed tail. If you change your mind, it could be called a small dragon with a frog's face.

"I know Python and Reaper are snakes and frogs, but what's a Witch Needle?

"In a word, it's a dragonfly about 50 cm long."

"Dragonflies?"

"But the wings seem to be as sharp as a razor, and the chin is as sharp as a human finger."

"Hmm...."

The wheat man, who had not listened to us at all, was murmuring something.

"I wonder which one... oh, what should I do!? Ko, the random system is an iron plate, I want to complete the quartz series, there are beryls, chrysoberyls and garnets, oh, I can't decide!

She was holding her head and turning her eyes. This is why we are choosing a route that does not entangle monsters with the greatest purpose we have ever had.

She suddenly waited as she tried to find the monster and approach it as soon as she was away from the communications base.

I was surprised at what inconvenience had happened, but who imagined that she was so happy in the twenty floors that she was crunching her eyes worried about what to drop.

Life detection can capture the location of a monster, but it doesn't even know the surrounding environment.

After all, this is a wetland. As he fled the monster from behind, he wandered into a thin neck surrounded by water.

Badly folded, a large reaction to life detection appeared slightly farther from the front. It would be Python's size on the 21st floor.

Marshes on both sides and monsters on the back. I don't think so.

"Er, Mr. Wheat? Looks like it's time to count down...."

"Ah, wait, wait, wait! Mmm, ah, that's right!

"Oh, you got it?

"Diamonds are a single element! Ah, another candidate... there was an amorphous system like Opal."

I thought it was decided, but there were just more candidates.

Python in front couldn't possibly have thought of the wheat dropping his shoulders, which easily crossed a distance called the final line of defense.

Lilaps, who had endured until then, had no choice but to step on his neck and grabbed Rabdophis Python's head. 4m is a big one.

"Ahh!

At that moment something fell under Mr. Wheat's feet.

She picked it up gently and said.

"It's a crystal cluster..."

On the palm of his hand were lumps of crystals stuck together.

Like Magmel's father.

"Magmel?"

"This is the name I put on the stone I first got when I was little. My father took me to a mineral fair, a small crystal cluster I found when I got lost, and my miner's uncle gave it away for 500 yen."

She named it an island full of Celtic mythology joy. "It looked like an island on a micromount," she said.

"Of course, I'm still the best friend I've ever had," he laughed happily.

"Senpai, maybe her LUC is unusually high...."

"No, the idea of a powerstone is scientifically resistant."

"Having said that, do you think you can explain the ambiguity of luck in today's science?

"I can't."

Luck depends only on how the recipient sees it. The event itself is no more than a coincidence.

Even if the same thing happens, some people will feel lucky and others will feel bad luck. Actually, it should be that much.

It's supposed to be...

"The status of LUC is strict....."

LUC is difficult to interpret.

Beyond good luck and bad but subjective, LUC may simply be a force that makes it easier for unlikely events to occur, despite bad luck. In other words, it's a force that works in a direction that increases the entropy of a certain probability space.

When the LUC became infinite, we imagined that all events would occur with equal probability.

"When that happens, everything will melt into chaos."

After all, it's just one of the parameters in dungeon calculation.

"Dungeon calculation..."

Then it shouldn't work for real luck. Like winning a lottery or being struck by lightning.

There is no way to deny the telephone call of\ 21140; if it is merely a coincidence. Rather, it would be a more reasonable interpretation.

No matter what happens, we cannot deny that it is a mere coincidence, with good or bad luck.

Next time, I'll use the card to measure it.

For example, experiments using two to one, three to two, four to three, and five to draw one may reveal to some extent whether the LUC is twisting the real probability.

"Senpai, believing is a strength. The head of a crystal is also useful, so if it's a crystal, it must be 100 times more effective."

I wonder if that dialog without the word 'or' in 'Science' resonates more than I thought when science and religion come together... definitely not.

Mr. Wheat gently put the crystal cluster he picked up in the backpack and said he was sorry.

"I'm sorry you're expecting me. Crystals are cheap. It wasn't very valuable."

"I don't really care."

After all, if we converge vaguely, we're confident we'll drop the iron.

"You can attack me now, right?

The third generation looked behind and said so.

Speaking of which, there was a Reaper coming after us from behind.

"It's okay. You can do as much as you want."

Roger that.

That said, when the third generation shot the bow quickly, there was a small sign of something rolling under her feet.

Picking it up, she said with a strange face.

"Um, this came out, but is this also crystal?

It was a crystal of isometric ortho octahedron less than 1 cm. By the way, crystals usually take the shape of hexagonal columns.

The wheat who saw it shouted in surprise.

"Eh? That's sour?!

Thoroughable?

"It's a regular octahedral diamond stone. It's called sawable because it's shaped just by cutting it with saw."

"Diamonds?"

I answered with a mean face. [M] What the hell is going on? Wasn't that the crystal cluster floor?

The wheat who converged on this floor couldn't decide what to drop until the end.

"No way...."

I immediately found the nearest Witch Needle in Life Detection and drowned it with water magic.

That's how I dropped it.

"Gemstone... raw stone?!

Touch the item to see its name.

Nevertheless, Sandai didn't know if the item was crystal. I thought it was strange, but it was only natural.

Because the item you dropped was labeled "Gem Raw Stone".

"Blue and purple, multi-colored, and fragile... it's probably a tanzanite rock."

"So, this floor... does' Gem Raw Stone 'drop?!

You mean because you couldn't squeeze any of the wheat around you, and now you're dropping Gem Raw Stones?

No, but....

"It wasn't one type per floor, is this what this is all about?

"There are no ants or leaves. I'm dropping it into reality." Gem Raw Stones is counted as one type, right? "

"So you can even make a floor where 'metal' drops?

"It might be possible for someone who loves all metals as much as Mr. Wheat's jewelry."

"... that's impossible."

Floors that don't know what drops in the first place are significantly less attractive as mines.

The more objects there are, the less valuable it is for those who want to look for something. It's hard to hunt for it anyway. There was a spicy feeling of trying to target something with a gacha.

"What about nickel, cobalt, magnesium?

"Probably not considered one type."

"Do you need some sort of conceptual enclosure... 'I can't do anything like this'?

"It may be possible if it is really necessary, but can you draw on that image with a trivial content?

Certainly, unlike "Gemstone Raw Stones", it's not a common concept of mankind....

"Hmm, well, what about the elemental group?

Lanternoids, actinoids, alkali metals, precious metals, transition metals, low metals.

"I know what you're trying to say, but I can't tell you exactly where it belongs, me."

I'm suspicious, too.

"I don't think that's possible for people like that."

"I don't know...."

Until a short while ago, Mr. Wheat was excited to pick up the rocks that Ustura and the others were dropping.

I'm still glad to see a dark pink diamond-shaped crystal.

"What a lovely floor!

Well, it must be heaven for Mr. Wheat.

"The drop rate is quite high. Almost always drops, so it's about 80-90%, she."

"Well, is it a calculation that the ore will drop by 100% at about 50 LUCs?"

"It may be a little bit higher, but it's more or less like that."

Raw stones are considerably heavier than cut gems, but lighter than metal. If we can defeat the number of monsters, the 21 floors will be a good place to earn money.

However, there seemed to be a very large variation in the value of what was dropped.

It may be subtle for a mine, but it's a super class for entertainment.

The question is whether a large number of people will come to the 21st floor, but I also feel that the number of people who come to the depth will increase because of this motivation.

Whatever you say, it's fun.

When I thought about it, a green stone dropped under Miyoshi's feet. Was Alsulz hunting too?

"Emerald?"

Speaking of green stones, that's all I know, I picked it up and said.

Mr. Wheat peered into the rock and said, "Chrome and vanadium turn green the same, but this is zabolite. It's a green garnet."

Heh. There's a lot of greenery, too.

"Emerald rocks contain blue, so they can be distinguished by color alone, but garnets can be distinguished by single refraction and emerald by birefringence. And mostly the zabolites are more flickering."

She looked at it without using the loupe and said.

Ah, but this zabolite is cute.

"Cute? Worth it?

"What's the price? Hmm. Garnets that are not demanded are somehow a little more affordable. But here on the right."

She took out the loupe and gave it to me to look at that part.

"That looks kind of cute, doesn't it?

I was unfamiliar with the handiwork and moved the Loupe to focus. Inclusion on the enlarged stone certainly looked like a dumb Miffy's face.

Natural rocks have a lot of faces and are fun. It's up to the designer and the cutter to make it live or cut it off.

All the diamonds I converged in Yokohama were in an ideal shape. Ingots are also unique drops.

However, all the raw stones she converged were of the highest quality and each one appeared to have its own personality.

"The power of imagery is amazing...."

The rough stone on this floor must have been because Mr. Wheat wanted it.

Like me, Miyoshi, who noticed it, murmured so much as he was impressed.

"Absolutely."

Together with the power of that image, I now realize that the power of dungeons to create more natural and complex things is also amazing.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

After that, we were well explored and converged, but when the 100g ingot of palladium dropped in 24 layers, the wheat picked it up said.

Um, Yoshimura-san

Hmm?

"I'm going to stop here this time."

"Why?"

"As I see it now, I think it's a little too skewed towards carving."

Mr. Wheat dropped 21 layers of gemstone, 22 layers of platinum, 23 layers of silver, and 24 layers of palladium.

Not to mention the 23 layers of silver, even though the 24 layers of palladium were more used as a catalyst, it was certain that they were biased towards precious metals.

All the metal is 100 grams of ingot. Was it the difference between me and her image that the vanadium was a kilogram ingot?

Nevertheless, the 100g ingot of platinum was more than 300,000, but the 100g ingot of silver did not reach 10,000 yen, so the 23 layers adjacent to the floor were a little pitiful.

In any case, once mining becomes widespread, wetlands are likely to become very popular.

"Besides, Ustura and the others seem to struggle with Trolls."

The 21-22 layers were wetlands, but the 23-25 layers were forests higher than the jungle. Due to its vegetation and circumstances, it's probably all called Jurassic Park.

Some of them are like Raptors, and that's exactly what it's like.

Then, trolls appeared from the 24 floors. Ustura seems to have said that this area is the limit for now.

Anubis said when he heard the story.

"I'm sure you won't lose, but those fat bastards are having trouble regenerating."

Hi, Ustura's incoming damage was greatly reduced by Troll's regeneration, and it would take some time to defeat him alone.

It would be difficult if other individuals joined the fight.

"I see. So, how was it? Come and see."

"It was like a dream!

Mr. Wheat blinked his eyes and was completely maiden.

"I can't believe those amazing stones are falling!

"So, were you satisfied with our camp?

Yes!

With that reply, Mr. Wheat's bootcamp is over. It was a lot harder than I thought, but a lot shorter than I thought.

The third generation said worried about the atmosphere as if there was some sort of separation.

Um... And what happens to Maitreya? Dismissed?

"Eh? Are you going to stop, pictorial?

When I heard that, Mr. Wheat strangely cut his neck.

"Yeah? We're talking about what to do because Mr. Wheat is going to quit, right?

"Me? I won't stop.

Mr Wheat answered as a matter of course.

"Sure, bootcamp is over, but it costs billions of yen to train me. No matter what you think, you can't pay for that."

No, that's...

I almost said that I didn't have to worry about it, but I was surprised when Sanyoshi pulled the hem of my clothes.

"Besides, exploring with Sachi was just as fun as working, and now I will study the necessary metals in Japan before going to the lower levels!

"Until then, I need to improve myself and Ustura a little bit, but if you don't like Saori..."

"I don't want to!

That said, the third generation took Mr. Wheat's hand.

"Great. I was wondering what I would do alone if Mr. Wheat stopped."

The two were laughing at each other and deepening their relationship.

Well then, we'll have to make a proper Explorer contract.

I see.

So, the next question is the base. We're not coming with you every time.

I asked the third generation who was supposed to come here in the future.

"How was the dungeon? How far could it go in a day?

"That's right... based on the time I reached the eighteen floors and the feeling of the ice and snow, if I really concentrated on just moving, I thought I could reach the twenty one floors in a day."

At a normal pace, it's normal for a couple of days to pass the 10 floors, but Simon and the others could have gone up to 18 floors in one day.

Their status is not so bad for them before the camp.

Well, shall we build our base on the 21st floor?

"Eh? 21 floors? Do you have all-you-can-pick rough stones on holidays?

Mr Wheat makes a happy voice.

"But senpai, the 21 floors are basically wetlands.

"That's right. The water level doesn't change, does it?

"Maybe I am."

"Even in the wetlands, there seems to be a part of the lake or a place like a hill on the side of the lake."

Since the Yoyogi from the 21st floor have only been surveyed until downstairs discovery, no complete map has been made.

Since the 21 floors at the time of the deepest reaches were turning back near the entrance, only surveys were carried out around it, and since this exploration of Team I had a strong confirmatory significance for the strength of the monsters and prioritized exploration into the lower floors, no detailed investigation was carried out.

Traditionally, other teams would have been able to explore that layer, but this time, due to the fact that there were people in the 18 tiers and the shortage of upper explorers, and the fact that the lower exploration speed was too fast and the investigation layer was too wide, we didn't do it either.

Therefore, it was not strange to find such a place in the untouched part.

"I hope there's a place like a beautiful vacation home."

Ustura's ability to explore, and his three generations who were fully active in the open view wetland layer, made remarks that were quite affordable.

Looks like you're getting a little confident.

Looking at the clock, it was just after 14 o'clock.

Now, let's go back to the 21st floor and find a suitable location for the base.

"Copy that."

So we walked up the stairs.
