Humans (3)

The young girl was handling it better than I expected.

When she found out that her older brother died, I thought she would pee in place, fall into panic, or collapse on the spot crying, but she left the dungeon without crying out loud as if she was afraid that another monster would come if she cried.

Most of all, she took care of his brother’s body.

She placed it in her inventory.

I almost screamed in surprise when I saw her doing it, but it was not really that surprising. Who said it was only me who had an inventory?

‘She’s gone.’

I used my senses to detect that the young girl has safely exited the dungeon without encountering another goblin. Then, I sat down and predated on the remaining Goblin Fighters.

[Goblin Fighter Predation After Hunting 1,000/1,000]

“Nothing?”

Predating all the goblin fighters on the spot did not increase my stats at all…

Then what should I do now?

[Goblin Knight Predation After Hunting 1/5]

[Goblin King Predation After Hunting 0/1]

If I achieve these last two items, the quest ends.

And maybe, it will increase my level enough to go through the third evolution.

The Goblin King’s combat power is unknown at this point. More so, it was impossible to figure out whether there would only be four Goblin Knights and one Goblin King in the space called Boss Room.

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to run now.

It’s just not like hunting a Goblin Fighter or a Goblin Warrior.

I can’t go in with a light mind.

I have to prepare thoroughly on what to do.

First, Predation. I’ll have to face and predate on more Goblin Warriors to raise my stats, and possibly my level.

Second, I need a helmet. My face and head are exposed. Even when I was at the Goblin Warrior mass appearance, the absence of helmet put me in danger again and again.

Ideally, I needed a helmet to fight against the boss. A dedicated store will probably sell helmets.

Third, Today’s Luck. In all the games I played when I was a human, the boss gave an experience that was incomparable to other mobs. Obviously, it would not be much different for a Goblin King.

If I drink Today’s Luck at a dedicated store and win another 1.5 times experience, I’ll get much more experience in defeating the boss.

Hunt Goblin Warrior’s until I reach the limit, buy Today’s Luck at the store, along with a helmet. That was what I had to do to fight the boss.

Good.

I slowly walked back to the territory of the Goblin Warriors.

However, they have not respawned yet, and the territory of the Warriors is filled with silence.

Goblin Fighter’s realm was also empty, so if anyone comes in now, he will mistake this place for a dungeon that has nothing inside.

It didn’t take long for that to happen.

“I’ve heard about this dungeon.”

I heard a voice. I extended my Lower level Detection – it looks like the man was still a little too far. I could not recognize the presence yet.

He seemed careless like a fool.

“It’s real that there are only goblins here. So there is no guard, no an admission fee… This place may not be enough. I also need to go to the Oak Dungeon to win a hidden collection at the auction house…”

The man’s words brought me a lot of information.

Did humans charge admission fees to dungeons that spontaneously emerged? Did they arrange people coming in, as if they were ticket offices?

In other words, humans have reasons to enter dungeons.

Goblin Fighters and Warriors are in this place.

If you go deeper, there may be more than that. Considering the key to the boss room I got is 1F, there must be 2F and 3F. There must be monsters other than goblins.

Are other dungeons not as deep as the Black Palace?
