Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 118: The Labyrinth and Faith

The labyrinth management went well.

The hearts of the Visitors are captivated due to the luxurious initial hospitality. With this, they would challenge the Dungeon and try to conquer it many times like ants were interested in sugar. Although the reward after each tenth floor was one of attraction, it was merely a trick to attract customers at first. The things obtained within the labyrinth are more important. From the 11th to the 20th floor, monsters would start cooperating. It became impossible to conquer a Dungeon with just brute strength. And on every floor the number of evil traps blocking their way will increase. From there is the real deal.

Rumors that the 10th floor boss dropped rare grade equipment spread among the Adventurers in the blink of an eye. Originally a rare grade item was an excellent weapon made from weather-resistant Demon Steel for months and years before gaining abilities as Demon Steel progressed. The Demon Steel that Tempest produced was an ore that underwent a change due to being exposed to the thick aura that Veldora had unleashed, and contained an extremely high purity of magic power. For that reason, there was a peculiarity of Demon Steel and alloy that made the user get used to the arm faster than ordinary arms. The sleeves made of this high quality material have a special grade performance with just that alone. Even the trial product had a rare class performance when it was the work of Kurobee. But one fact appears here. Even if his arms were of the same class, there was a difference in his performance. There was a huge difference in quality between the rare grade equipment made by Kurobee's student and his own works. These are details that can only be seen by people with 『Appraisal [1].. It is possible for me to copy the works of Kurobee and the finished product will naturally be of the same class. However, as I said before, the performance can be said to be lower than the original one.

This could be considered a phenomenon caused because my blacksmithing skill is inferior compared to Kurobee's blacksmithing skill. It can be said that there are also levels in assessing weapons. An amateur could not tell the difference, an ordinary arms dealer could not do it either, but an Adventurer who entrusted his life to weapons, he would understand the difference clearly. Perhaps, the weapon also grew every time it was used. And then, even if the weapons were only made by Kurobee, they might already have some growth. If you're trying to assess an arm, you might be looking at the weapon's level. As for the rare grade equipment that the 10th floor boss dropped, it was Kurobee's best masterpiece. There was no difference in skills between each apprentice, but there was no big difference between performances. I hope they polish their skills and I will expect the creation of different types of equipment in the future. So the situation is different. The arm dropped by the 10th floor boss might be a good piece of equipment for normal people, but for us it was only a place for Kurobee disciples to improve by competing to produce a successful product. That doesn't mean it hurts our pockets so much. Instead, what was even more surprising was that his level was a rare class. Not that it'll go down every time. The percentage to obtain rare grade equipment from the boss-protected treasure chests was set at around 2%. Assuming you need an hour to defeat the boss once, it is impossible to open the treasure chest 24 times in one day. So, they should be able to obtain one rare grade item on the second day. I think this is the perfect rate of decline to incite people with a passion to gamble. I think it's human nature to collect series items and if they get the same item, it will be exchanged or sold. As a result, I can create more and more rational reasons for people to dive into the labyrinth.

And about the Inn inside the labyrinth. On the side of the stairs to the next floor, a door made unnaturally with the word "Inn" on it was made. First of all, one silver coin was needed to open the door. This was the same as the price of admission to enter the labyrinth. However, there was a reason why the Adventurers could not avoid but to use this inn. The reason is the labyrinth change. At first, I considered replacing the labyrinth every three days, but Masayuki insisted that the difficulty to capture the Dungeon was too high. So, now on the seventh day, the labyrinth changes once a week. That person because he had a strong fortune, did not hesitate to fill the labyrinth but he still needed three days to capture the 10th floor. There were some Adventurers who would explore the vast map without hesitation. Spirit guidance also has limits when it comes to showing the shortest route. When it came to this, there was no other choice but to camp inside the labyrinth. After securing a room with a treasure chest, if they slept there, reconnaissance was even needed inside. Also, the equipment obtained from the maze was too good to dispose of. But there is a need to prepare groceries, so there is a limit to the amount that can be transported. If the ordered food runs out, they must immediately withdraw it. There is also no reason to worry about hunger because they can use the emergency function "Resurrection Bracelet", with this they can reduce the amount of food they bring for a more empty space. So, it was only natural for them to want to use an inn if possible. As long as they can find the stairs before starvation, they can take the minimum amount of food. Including the silver coins charged for re-entry, there was no option to be frugal. However, it did not only charge one silver coin for one-time use, the former cost was also more expensive. Eating costs three times as much. Although a room without eating was like sleeping together in a small place like a capsule hotel, the price for it was set as three silver coins. As one might expect, the building was divided between men and women. However, even if the price was very high, there would still be people who would use it. Despite the cost of 5 silver coins to use the provided large bathroom, suddenly the number of customers was quite high. Since they were fighting all the time inside the labyrinth, they were covered in blood and sweating. Maybe they are happy because there is even a service to clean their equipment, it is very popular. Although the service content is lower than inn-town [2], but if I have to say it, the profit ratio of the inside of the maze is very high. Although at first I wanted to leave his place in Trent, I decided to use it as a place to train new employees. People with unskilled cooking skills or people who serve customers for the first time can do their exercises here. Since the profit here exceeded my expectations, I thought it was possible. Also, there may be a lot of attraction due to the use of the toilet. (Because of the ability to relieve yourself.) There was nothing that could be called a toilet in the labyrinth. Since they dance with death — well if the urge comes to shove, they have the resolution to let it out. After that, it does not need to be cleaned. The reason for that was that monsters would clean it on purpose. Mucus born in the labyrinth eats anything. They ate anything from dirt to the remains of monster corpses. They would soon be born, even if they were defeated by adventurers, they were replenished so quickly that the labyrinth suddenly cleared. Nonetheless, there are situations that they cannot handle without a toilet. They would likely cry if they were attacked in a helpless situation by a monster. Even though they say, "Time-out!" The monster will not listen. Not only about 'Big', even to do a 'small' search is necessary. In the worst case they just let the urine out and handle it, but I don't like that. At that point they might want to go back, but if after they return to town and pee they are seen, it will be a game of unthinkable shame. Then, how about letting it dry a little and letting it be what it is? I don't like that either. Finally, the conclusion is that supervision should be exercised. If there is a room, you can do it inside, but the underlying problem does not change in the slightest.

For a man then this is fine, but for a woman this is a matter of life and death. Mixed parties of men and women were not something rare, so given the situation of the toilet, the utilization of the inn, naturally, would increase. By the way, there seems to be a kind of magic called 〈Control Physical Condition [3]〉. It can reduce the frequency of excretion to a certain degree, so it is possible to survive. Of course there was a limit; it could only last for 3 days. Except for those brave people who did not mind leaking out in the middle of the battle, this could be called an indispensable magic for an adventurer. Since the effect had limited use then it meant that it would encourage them to use the inn.

So, with such feelings, management goes as smoothly as planned. Immigration checks to enter Tempest are very strict. Unlike before, only a few traders and adventurers with verified identification and qualifications could enter the country, the reason was to be cautious of spies, but there were also other reasons. That's the rank.

Lodging at Tempest has become high class oriented. There were many common inns, but it was difficult to accept all adventurers. If we let uncivilized people with unknown backgrounds in them, it would be difficult to deal with them properly. Therefore, demarcation is still needed so that the general public who wants to stay in the inn town will stay in a separate section. By the way, even though fighting inside the city was forbidden, it was difficult to prevent idiots from chanting magic. Since there are important research facilities, sorting is required by all means. However, because I kind of want to market the city as a tourist spot. I decided that anyone who had conquered the 10 floors would receive permission to stay in the city. Of course, if they caused any problems, the permit would be revoked. Well, somehow it has added value, because the high quality of the food somehow became famous, this could be related to increased motivation. Well, there was also the opportunity to purchase weaponry from the Monster Country, Tempest. Due to the rumors of the merchants coming to this country to trade, there were rumors of high-end equipment in the weapons and armor shops in the city among the adventurers. Naturally the one who spread the rumor was me. Myormilles-kun did a good job. Arms made regularly by Kurobee disciples were distributed to the merchants. Of course they are of high quality, and their reputation is great. Unique equipment and trial products are displayed but not sold. It was decided that they would sell it to consumers directly. If one surpassed ten floors, that person was suitable to be labeled stronger than B rank. If they could defeat the "B + rank" Ogre Lord, they might have the ability to possess powerful weapons. Or rather, for B rank adventurers they might have a reasonable amount of money. Ellen and her party seem poor, but I think they're the exception. Preventing the entry of people who do not have money is one way to prevent unnecessary problems. It could be said that using the labyrinth, the adventurers would be sorted by their personality and strength. Actually, since there is a possibility of Yuuki sending a spy, I cannot accept everyone. Judging from the appearance, there was no one with a bug attached to it. Perhaps it is related to the amount of control over the person. Hinata has a bug. This is proof that he is very dominated. Masayuki has no bugs. Even so, he seemed to be under the influence of the Guidelines of Thought. However, if the person does not have a bug, I believe I do not have to worry because I can easily release it with 『Haki Tuanku Haki』. I must gather information so that I will not be caught unprepared while limiting entry into the country for the time being.

And a month has passed. Myormilles reported to me with a joyful expression on his face.

「This went well, Rimuru-sama. Profits increase due to repairs. Even if you deduct the cost for a product drop in the maze from the profit, the profit covers it all. Whereas the rate of profit and investment can be said to be 10:11. Enough to pay wages for citizen workers. It seems that national profits will grow in the future. If the number of consumers increases, I think it might improve. Also, traders often come to visit and say that they want to make a transaction. Even in the inn-towns, as the visiting merchants or workers who dealt with the monster parts, had become like a small town. Rather than just staying there, they asked if they could open a workshop or not. 」So I was told. Fumufumu. As expected from the beginning. As I explained earlier, in the end it is not about making something and selling it at a high price just to make a profit. But, it's about the lack of jobs for the people who come and go from this country.

Myormilles strongly asserted. Especially us, huh? Even though he was a human, he seemed to be really thinking about things from our point of view. That's a fun thing. Trust is not instantly earned.

It is said that trust was “hard to get, and easy to lose”. I think it's exactly like that.

You can invite people by their greed, but it is not easy to gain their trust. If the other party thought that it could satisfy their own greed, then it could be said that I had gained their trust. With such conditions, you should work steadily. A relationship based solely on greed is tedious, but it is a great opportunity to see one's true nature. I also nodded back to Myormilles, I am happy with the success of the moment. So, in the inn town. There was a workshop for Kurobee's students to repair equipment. The craftsmen heard rumors of adventurers settling in the area and seemed to say that they wanted to open a workshop. Such requests seem to come frequently. Finally, I think the lodging city will flourish and give the feeling of a satellite city [4]. I think it's great, it looks interesting. I gave permission for the establishment of the workshop to Myormilles. As a result, as I expected, a city was established at the bottom of the mine that would develop into a satellite city surrounding the labyrinth. Kantei Kaiseki – Analysis and Judgment, let's shorten it as Assessment. City-lodging/Shukubamachi city post.

Guro's CornerPart of the prologue or chapter of some of the stories I have in mind. (Don't ask when it resumes XD) Sunlight penetrates the room from an open window. Light up the inside of the room littered with things like books and paper on the floor, he said, in the chair in the room sat a young man with short blond hair and a cowlick in his slightly pointed hair. The young man was reading the book that was opened in his left hand, he meticulously examined the contents of the book with rather sharp and gloomy eyes while his right hand wrote on the paper placed on the table placed on the table in front of him. On the paper it was filled with strange-shaped letters, strange-shaped letters used by ancient civilizations that once ruled this world but that was only ancient history now. The strangely shaped letter was called "Runic" which was used in research and magic related techniques in the past.

When the young man stopped his hand writing on the paper, he closed the book and placed it on the table, he then took out the paper with his left hand and took out his wand with a sizeable magic crystal at the end.It was placed on the wall beside him, he then left his seat and looked out the window and faced the sky, as he spoke,

"With this, I can finally realize my goal!"

A smile broke as he ended those words.

He pointed his wand at the sky and,

"What I want is the world, I will conquer it!"

This is a story about the world, Radt
