Chapter 044
It's lunchtime, so I eat a large pork bowl at a franchise pork bowl restaurant. In my previous life, this chain restaurant served beef bowls, but now it mainly serves pork bowls.
This is because America was on the verge of destruction due to the worldwide flood that occurred when dungeons first appeared, and they could not afford to export beef to Japan. Instead, pork bowls made with pork that could be found on the first floor of the dungeon became a popular dish for the common people.
With my stomach full, I think about what to do next. It's still early, but I don't have enough time to dive into the dungeon. I can't think of anything else to do, so I head to the guild.
"Steel... No, magic iron is the limit. But I can't afford a weapon that's better than that."
A weapon to make up for my lack of attack power. I came to the guild's store to look at it, but weapons are expensive. With the money I have now, all I can buy is an iron one-handed sword.
Currently, there are six types of metal used in weapons and armor for dungeon exploration: iron, steel, magic iron, mithril, orihalcum, and adamantite.
An explanation for iron and steel is unnecessary. Magic iron is iron imbued with mana, and is stronger and lighter than steel. However, it can only be obtained from treasure chests in dungeons.
Mithril carries more magical power than magic iron, is a little stronger, and weighs about the same. Adamantite is so hard that it cannot even be damaged, but it is also extremely heavy.
Orichalcum is lighter and harder than mithril, and carries more magical power, but it is less hard than adamantite and can only be obtained in very small quantities, making it a rare item.
Considering that my body is still growing, magic iron and mithril are not enough. Although I can repair them with the effects of the [dress-up doll], if I use them in battle a few times and then become unusable because they need to be repaired, I won't be able to make the most of the advantages of the [dress-up doll].
However, weapons made of magic iron or higher can only be obtained by luck from treasure chests, and are not readily available on the market. In fact, the only magic iron weapon on display in this store is the three-section club. It seems they do not carry weapons made of mithril or higher.
The clerk told me that rare weapons are not allocated to guilds in such unpopular dungeons, and that you can only see them at popular, major guilds.
It was a good time to head home. After dinner, Mai started talking about the morning.
"Mom, Dad. Did you hear that Onii-chan has already descended to the ninth floor?"
"What, he's already descended to the ninth floor?"
"Eh, Yu-chan, are you pushing yourself too hard? It's dangerous!"
My mom and dad looked at me worriedly. I spoke with a smile to reassure them.
"Don't worry. My abilities are stronger than you think. My muscles are dense, so not only am I strong, but my defenses are also high. I'm not pushing myself too hard, so don't worry."
After that, I was made to explain the details of the battle. Even though they knew that my muscles were dense, all three of them were surprised to learn how effective it was.
"I didn't think it was that amazing."
"I wonder if God-sama wants Yu-chan to conquer the dungeon."
Mom was probably joking, but I don't think she would have ever dreamed that it was so accurate.
