128-Unexpected conflict




 The infinite circle that had finished defeating the Borseyeur, leveling while updating the hierarchy would be the future activity. Tsutomu was looking through his own documents that he had put together in his room in the Clan House. He had already thought of an efficient leveling method in the volcano, so all that remained was to make a final check and implement it from tomorrow.

 The basis of leveling is to hunt monsters with good experience efficiency. That's simply the best way to go about it. However, unless one is comfortable with that work-tainted act, it's not the most efficient method.

 Daryl has the patience from Garum's rigorous training, and Hannah has done some leveling work in Aldoret Crow, so that shouldn't be a problem. However, I don't think Amira and Diniel will be able to do the monster hunting work all the time.

 I'm going to take Amira to 'Live Dungeon! High school students are the closest to be classified as players in the It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. However, since they practice dragonization and fly practice every day, a certain amount of work tolerance can be expected.

 Diniel is closer to a housewife, though with a slightly different meaning. Housewives often log in to enjoy the chat rather than the game itself, and if they don't engage in moderate conversation, they can quickly find it boring and quit. In Diniel's case, if you replace conversation with a break, he falls into that type.

 Amira is looking for fun and Diniel is looking for a break. Forcing such two people to do simple leveling tasks would be inefficient. This is something that Tsutomu has seen in many different clans, so you have to take their types into account when planning your leveling strategy.

 In addition to this, he also has the ability to create a new type of game that is not too expensive, and he also has the ability to create a new type of game that is not too expensive, and he also has the ability to create a new type of game that is not too expensive. I'm a pioneer in this field.

 However, simply applying Tsutomu's knowledge was not the most efficient when it came to fighting on his own instead of clattering around in front of the PC. Tsutomu took into account the high temperature of the volcano and the time it takes to fight the more experienced monsters to come up with the best leveling strategy for the infinite circle.

 First, against Amira, she would incorporate many monsters in her leveling target that she could fight without much use of Longification. Then, when I let her use dragonization, I'll let her hunt mainly monsters that have delicious experience. This would minimize the boredom that comes with hunting the same monsters all the time. Sometimes it's good to go back and hunt other tier masters.

 Adequate rest periods are essential for Diniel. For maximum efficiency, he might as well stop for rest and dinner in the dungeon. However, this will demotivate Diniel, so he will be more efficient if he takes proper breaks. You'll also need to prepare the environment by using tools to take the heat out of the volcanic hierarchy.

 However, this will consume a lot of money, so whether we can get Oli's permission is a problem. The flame demon stone and volcanic materials can still be sold at a high price, so there is a chance that they can be profitable, but it would be better to consult with them at least once.

 Tsutomu went to consult with Oli after setting up a certain amount of budget and writing down the documents. At the same time, she was managing the materials and equipment that were obtained and consumed during today's dungeon exploration, so Tsutomu called out to her and gave her the documents.


''Oli-san. I need to talk to you about the equipment we'll be using in tomorrow's dungeon exploration.
'Yes. It's okay.


 Dressed in sober shades that were easy to work with, Oli put down her pen. Tsutomu sat down in front of her and showed her a summary of the additional equipment to be consumed tomorrow and a list of materials he would be able to bring home.


''Starting tomorrow, we'll do some leveling work before we dive into the seventy levels. Here's a summary of the equipment we'll be consuming for that purpose.
Okay. ...I see.


 Oli looks calm and begins to look through Tsutomu's papers as he receives them. Oli has done most of the management of materials, sales and procurement of equipment. She would be able to correct the figures to be realistic in comparison to the market price.


'I think there are some sweet spots, so it would be helpful if you could correct them.
'No, there's nothing we need to fix at the moment. I'll get the equipment ready for tomorrow.
'Thank you. For now, we'll be doing this for a while, so please take care of it.
'Yes. I'm awed.


 Oli gave a smile that seemed to calm people down somewhat and then bowed. Tsutomu also bowed back and then spoke as if he remembered.


''Ah, I would like to talk to you for a moment about the magic stone conversion...''


 When Tsutomu told him about the dwarf girl's magic stone exchange, Oli agreed after thinking about it for a bit. She said that she would try to visit tomorrow as soon as possible. Tsutomu lowered his eyebrows awkwardly at her words.


''Oli-san. You're off tomorrow, right?''
'Yes. Yes, but...
You can relax on your day off.


 Oli has two days off, just like the Clan members. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.

 Tsutomu's caring words caused Oli to nod his head, lowering his eyebrows in annoyance.


''It's a shameful story, but I don't know what to do on my days off, do I? I've been working hard all this time.''
'Oh......... I see. Then let's go somewhere with all the clan members this time off.
..........


 Oli fell silent at Tsutomu's suggestion with an indescribable expression. As Tsutomu wondered if it was unnecessary, she smiled as if to mend her ways.


''Thank you. I'd love to join you.''
'Oh, no, you can say no if you don't want to. I'm not trying to force you to do anything.
'No, I was just surprised earlier because I'm not used to being asked out so much. By all means, please.
'Oh, I see. Well, I'll ask everyone about their plans next time.


 Tsutomu nodded as if reassured when he was given a smile that didn't feel like a backdoor.


 --Oooh--


 Leveling of the Infinite Circle began the next day. From noon, he dived into the sixty-sixth level and hunted around the monsters with good experience efficiency in the volcano, and then properly left the dungeon to take a break while trying not to work.

 There are places where Tsutomu's knowledge of the game matches the terrain information to a certain extent, so he relies on Diniel's search for a hunting ground. He'll look for various monster hangouts, rare monsters called Golden Bombs that are buried in the walls, and Samatula, a standard experience earning monster.

 In this PT structure, golems, which are hard to attack with physical attacks, are incompatible, so soft insect-type monsters will be the easiest to hunt. Since Tsutomu wasn't particularly resistant to the insect monsters, I defeated them one by one to gain experience.

 After an hour or so of diving from noon, I hunted the Borseyeur and continued my leveling process while satisfying Amira. While I'm dragonizing, I'll hunt Samatula, which has the best experience efficiency.

 Then in the evening, I was able to find the black gate to the sixty-seventh level, so I went back to the guild to take a break. Diniel doesn't express his feelings too much, so it's better to let him take more breaks without saying anything.

 After resting for an hour and a half while eating dinner, we transitioned to the sixty-seventh level. While continuing to work on leveling, I'll be mining and gathering materials in my spare time. It makes sense, since we might even find a rare monster called Golden Bomb in the process.


''Yo! Tsutomu!


 While Tsutomu and the others were sweating and mining, Leon, with his distinctive gold wolf ears, suddenly called out to them from behind. Tsutomu lowered his pickaxe and looked back at Leon, who had a surprised look on his face and a grin on his face.


''Thanks. We were on the same level, weren't we?''
Yeah. You want to join me in exploring afterwards? Oh, we've gone to the sixty-nine levels, so we can give up the black gate, right?
Really?


 The Black Gate transitions to a random location when one PT dives. So when two PTs are exploring at the same level, it's almost always the first one to do so, and they rarely search together.

 However, since the golden investigation has already advanced to the 69th level, there is no need to stick to the Black Gate since it can be transferred from the guild at any time. At Leon's suggestion, Tsutomu asked his clan members for their opinions, but none of them were particularly reluctant to do so.

 Even for Tsutomu, it was not a bad idea to conduct a golden investigation and joint search. The leveling efficiency is a bit lower, but seeing the other PTs directly would be a good stimulus. This is a good opportunity for you to see other PTs, especially Amira and Diniel, as they don't see much of the monitor.

 Besides, I owe Diniel a debt of gratitude for pulling out Diniel for the golden investigation. Tsutomu agreed to Leon's suggestion and tucked his mining tools into his magic bag and followed him.

 The golden investigation's one army PT was Leon, Eunice, Barbara, one attacker and one tank woman. Oddly enough, it was the same configuration as the infinite circle. Eunice, with her large fox ears and wagging tail, was wearing a pure white robe that she had had tailored to match her small stature. Her equipment is almost identical to Tsutomu's.

 Barbara, who is as big as Daryl, who is wearing a helmet, is also a heavy knight, so her equipment is similar to his. He has a large shield and spear in heavy armor with a cooling function. When Barbara saw the infinite circle that followed Leon, she took off her helmet. The true round bear ears that had been pushed in were released and jumped out vigorously.


''They're going to explore with me!
Nice to meet you.
Oh, Mr. Tsutomu! Thank you!
Hmm. I'm so glad you're here.


 Barbara bowed her head to Tsutomu with a puff of light on her face, while Eunice crossed her arms and lifted her chin in a pompous manner. Tsutomu smiled bitterly at their unchanged appearance and finished greeting the other two as well.


''I'll leave the search policy to the golden investigation, right?
Okay, all right. All right, I see a bunch of monsters over there. Let's move over.


 Leon's search power is arguably the best, as his unique skills and haste give him an AGI of S. If we follow him, our leveling efficiency won't drop that much. Then, after the two clan members talked to each other for a bit, the joint exploration of the sixty-seventh level began.
