Chapter 190 – Outer Discharge Channel Dungeon
One month after the Paladin Knights welcome party.
I was at the far end of the Metropolitan Underground Discharge Channel Dungeon in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture.
The Metropolitan Underground Discharge Channel is a facility that diverts some of the water from rivers, such as the Tone River, when they are about to overflow through a vast underground space.
The sight of huge concrete pillars lining the walls has led the media to call it an “underground temple” or something similar.
The dungeon’s design reflects this (?), but the color is much darker than the original concrete walls.
Because it was relatively easy to get to from the city, even though it was still morning,
‘You have conquered the Metropolitan Area Outer Discharge Channel Dungeon!’
‘Special Condition Has Been Fulfilled. You have acquired the skill Natural Enemy of the Deep Ones.’
Congratulations !!! ────────────
Special Condition Fulfilled: Defeat 400 consecutive Sahagin of the same race. At least one of them must be a boss monster.
Reward: Natural Enemy of the Deep One’s Skill Set
Acquiring the Natural Enemy of the Deep One’s skill set allows you to choose any three of the following skills from the set.
Harpooning
Waterstream Radiation
Underwater Breath
Underwater Movement
Fishman Swimming Technique
Diving
Water Resistance
Anti-Submarine Attack
The following skills are now available.
Harpooning
Underwater Movement
Water Resistance
Anti-Submarine Attack
────────────────────
This flow is becoming familiar.
I carefully read the skill descriptions that appear, and
“I chose Underwater Breathing, Fishman Swimming Technique, and Waterstream Radiation. I’ll use my remaining SP to get Underwater Movement, Harpooning, Water Repellent, and Anti-Submarine Attack. For the skills with fixed levels, increase them all to the maximum.”
‘You have acquired Underwater Breathing, Fishman Swimming Technique, and Waterstream Radiation 5.’
‘You have acquired Underwater Movement, Harpooning 5, Water Resistance, and Anti-Submarine Attack 5.’
“…Phew, I’ve now completed 20 A-rank dungeons.”
Unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be any special requirements for the 20th dungeon.
Since I did half of them solo and half with the mini-slimes, there might be a condition for completing 20 dungeons solo.
“That’s right. I’d better send it while I remember.”
I look back at my notes from the trip and make sure I didn’t miss any information.
This is a summary of the appraisal results for the monsters I encountered along the way.
As part of my contribution to the Paladin Knights, I have decided to provide the guild with the monster data for each A-rank dungeon.
While explorers with Appraisal are valuable, it seems that most influential guilds have at least one or two.
Haitani-san has one, and Serika said she got one recently.
However, there are only a few good-hearted researchers who are willing to share their hard-earned data with the Association.
As a result, each guild has only partial monster data.
The mid-sized and smaller Paladin Knights tend to have difficulty maintaining various types of data.
According to Haitani-san, there is a particular lack of information on A-rank dungeons.
Serika is an S-rank explorer, but the main force of the Paladin Knights often ventures into A-rank dungeons.
It seems that they are desperate for information about A-rank dungeons because they want to create dungeons that suit every party.
For me, it’s like a little extra pay for going out of my way, and there are enough people with Appraisal skills that there’s no risk of standing out for the wrong reasons.
If I could get some information fees from the guild, I thought I’d help out with the data gathering to repay them for all the help they’ve given me.
Normally, it would be difficult for a solo researcher to collect stats during combat, but I have the archive (which allows me to review stats I’ve already collected later).
I remember the welcome party when I sent the attachment to Haitani-san via guild chat.
At first, they were intimidated by my being stronger than Serika, but I was relieved to find that they were all good-natured people.
And it seemed that each of them had their own circumstances.
Like me, Fuzuki-san and Louise-san were new to the guild and had nowhere else to go because of Clovis.
Kise-kun had been a truant when he decided to apply for the Explorer Experience Program run by the Paladin Knights in conjunction with another guild. After that, he fell in love with Serika (he desperately tried to deny that it was a romantic love) and was accepted into the guild.
The glamorous woman who first teased me had been working nights for a while after a divorce due to her husband’s domestic violence, but she decided to become an explorer when her child started elementary school.
I was also told that there were other people with different circumstances, such as a high school student who ran away to a shelter because she couldn’t stand her parents’ educational abuse and a foreigner who had been discriminated against at another guild.
“It’s just like Serika.”
Serika, who tends to interfere in other people’s affairs, has always had a nature that makes it impossible for her not to reach out to people in trouble.
Haitani-san immediately replied to the text chat.
“Kurashiki-san, thank you for your hard work in the early morning and for the valuable data you provided.”
“…Well, I didn’t get up that early.”
Well, it didn’t take me more than an hour to complete them all.
The fastest time for the 20 A-rank dungeons so far is 27 minutes for the Odawara Castle Dungeon.
This time’s dungeon is in the more relaxed category these days.
Well, I think there are a lot of you who are wondering about it.
Let’s announce the results of the A-rank dungeon tour.
Now, please repeat after me.
For your enjoyment,
“Status Open!”
