Grace, whose senses were sharpened due to her passive skill, seemed unfazed the following day.

It might have been because she was getting used to the heightened senses, or she was too worn out from a night full of intense sensations.

She seemed to have adjusted quicker than I expected.

Of course, her shy moan in the forest has already made their rounds on the internet.

... Well, it's not like Grace can surf the web like me, so it doesn't matter.

Sensitive senses? Woooow [35] +335

Here's a tip [396] + 564

Unlike the forum which is watched by a moderator, the Heroes Chronicle Wiki had been taken over by anonymous delinquents, transforming it into something like a vr adult gallery.

Here's a tip

Upon seeing what happened to Grace, I realized

When it says senses become sharper, it means a boost to all senses

I roughly filtered through early active skills,

Use this when you want to mastu***te or have s*x

Mad... Creative, but mad...

Can I use it in the red-light district?

If you use these recklessly on a prostitute, guard guys will come and bash you on the head

This rascal must have tried it himself, lololol

A man truly devoted to self-pleasure, you deserve an award

They're truly remarkable guys.

In certain ways...

Anyway, our forest exploration progressed seamlessly with Grace's upgraded skills.

We continued gathering magic stones and materials and discovered the passage with ease, bringing us to the end of the 20th floor.

"There's a Moss Wolf lurking up ahead. There also seems to be a goblin pack if we go around. What's the plan?"

"Since our current task calls for magic stones from medium-sized monsters, let's hunt the Moss Wolf and sidestep the goblins. They become a bit of a hassle when they start to scatter."

"Then, let's go for the wolf."

"Lead the way."

Grace's exploration ability as a 4 'Forest Stalker', an upgrade from a 3 'Novice Ranger', has seen dramatic improvement.

Where earlier she could detect an ambushing Moss Wolf or pinpoint a noisy cluster of small monsters, now she can sense their presence from a considerable distance to the point where she can plan an ambush on the Moss Wolf.

A Moss Wolf was lying in wait in the shadowy forest, but with Grace, who had already located it, the hunt became smoother than usual.

"Roland, you lead the way, and I'll ready the magic. Should things go awry, I'll need you to support me immediately. Kaiden, please keep watch behind Irene."

"Sure."

"Understood."

Grace's expanded detection range is taken advantage of by Han Se-ah, who positions herself behind me, while the rest of our team approaches from the rear of the Moss Wolf.

Being aware of the exact location of a lurking Moss Wolf allows us to use this strategy.

Kaiden is with Irene, preparing for unexpected situations, but there was nothing in the forest that could pose a threat to us.

Nonetheless, the party members remain spirited, perhaps due to the sense of achievement after a hard day.

If we had aimlessly wandered in the forest and returned without accomplishing anything, the mood might've been rather gloomy.

However, everyone is upbeat, as we've finally discovered the passage.

Just like how the 10th floor acts as a threshold between beginners and intermediate adventurers, the 20th floor holds a symbolic significance.

It serves as a stepping stone for those intermediates who have the potential to climb even higher.

It's kind of a filter, in a sense.

Despite being smeared with sweat and dirt, we all walk with stars in our eyes.

As we return to the 10th floor and step outside the tower, envious glances get thrown our way.

They must be jealous, witnessing attractive people clad in expensive gear, beaming as if they've struck gold.

"The revenue from selling magic stones... it's incomparable to when I was a mercenary."

"That's why everyone wants to become adventurers. Why else would Rebecca, that crazy woman, enter the tower?"

"...Crazy."

After separating the magic stones required by the client, we sell the leftover collected items and magic stones at the guild counter, and a pouch of silver coins is handed over.

The hefty feel of it makes Kaiden murmur in wonder.

"Stash the money carefully. As we climb to the higher floors, we'll have to upgrade our equipment again, and beyond that point, the price of equipment equals the cost of an estate."

"An estate, really? Is it that expensive?!"

She's startled at my words.

It seems fitting for a nun to not know about the value of an estate.

I don't know exactly how estates are structured in the real world, but I have a rough idea in this one.

Through looking into various things to prepare my own mansion equipped with magical tools, I've managed to gather a rough understanding.

In this fantasy world, an estate refers to a territory you can buy with money.

It involves trading land for farming, farm laborers, a mansion for the landowner to stay in, and a temple to look after the territory, all bundled together.

"An equipment piece being worth an entire estate..."

"I'm not referring to a golden wheat field accompanied by a luxurious mansion. I'm talking about a small estate where you can grow something like grapes."

"But that's still a substantial amount, isn't it?"

The price of enchanted armor equals the total value of a farm, a luxurious mansion, and farm laborers combined.

Once you transition from intermediate to senior level, the cost of equipment soars exponentially.

Given that the armor is crafted from magical ore and occasionally from dragon skin handled by top-tier alchemists, it's no surprise it bears a price tag equivalent to a noble's luxury goods.

To fully equip oneself with such gear, including a helmet, breastplate, greaves, boots, and a weapon...

"Roland, is your armor and weapon that expensive?"

"Even more than that."

Actually, this armor is the default skin I've had since transforming into a game character.

I didn't pay a penny for it, but if we calculate its worth, it could be even more expensive.

It doesn't boast any special abilities, yet it offers durability that hasn't sustained even a scratch So far.

While contemplating the resilience of equipment that is unmarked even against the attacks of giants and wyverns, Kaiden slips over to my side.

"Roland, I have a favor to ask."

Not Han Se-ah, but me?

I've censored some words and in the future I'll probably censor like so as well. Unless someone has a suggestion?

5/5 Enjoy the chappy!
