The watchers’ chat was going crazy right now. Not just mid-level watchers, but even some high-level watchers joined the chat.“Is it true that a pawn named J7 defeated the werewolf that was being controlled by the chief manager?”“Yes.”“Then why isn’t there any footage?”“I guess Nero removed it since he lost?”“Haha, that makes sense, but I don’t believe this rumor. I mean, how can somehow who hasn’t even been on the first floor for a week manage to defeat a werewolf? Do you think that makes any sense? He’s not even a part of the Beast Brotherhood.”“But he seems very good at learning vivre, so he’s able to pull off a big upset.”“If he had depended on the nanobots, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat the werewolf, but because he learned vivre, his future growth is limitless. I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes a high watcher within a year.”“A high watcher is someone who has at least managed to reach the fourth floor. You think he can do that? Don’t kid me!”The watchers were ve
“What do you think is up there?” Ronny asked.“It’s definitely not freedom,” Jim said. “From what the robot hinted, there are four floors. So, the second floor is just a passing stop.”“Of course. We’re going to keep climbing until we get the hell out of this dungeon,” Ronny said. “Now, ladies’ man first.”Jim glanced at him and raised a brow. “Ladies’ man? Seriously?”“C’mon, you should look at yourself in the mirror,” Ronny blurted. “Of course, you got a great body and all, but you look like a fine specimen after you put the suit on. You’ve got the look and the swag in your genes. If you were to say you’re a billionaire’s son, I wouldn’t doubt you.”“My dad is a chef,” Jim replied.“Can’t chefs be billionaires?” Ronny retorted.“Name one billionaire chef,” Jim asked.Ronny paused a second and said, “Your dad.”Jim paused this time and laughed just a little.“Haha,” Ronny also laughed a little.This was the first time they shared a genuine laugh together since they met, even though i
BAM!A loud noise erupted, and the metal door that was sealed away was torn out of its place and was sent flying a few feet away before it crashed in an even louder thud on the rocky floor.Jim and Ronny stepped out and into the second floor.Jim immediately cast a cold glance at Ronny, making him take a step back. “That’s right. Keep some distance. Always. I don’t want to ever hear your fart again. If I do, then I’m going to beat the shit out of you, for sure.”“G-Got it, Brother,” Ronny pitifully said. He had definitely embarrassed himself, as he had let out the loudest fart of his life. So, he couldn’t complain now.Jim’s attention soon shifted to observing the second floor. It was completely different from the first floor, in that the second floor looked like an underground town with a ceiling that was as high as hundred feet.Currently, Jim was at a height of fifty feet from the ground level of the second floor, so he was able to take a better look at the entire second floor, wh
“By money, we meant gold. Gold coins. Only those are accepted as currency on this floor,” the man with the car explained with a smile that showed all his front yellow teeth. He was not pleasant to look at, and the smell these three men gave off was far from good.Ronny remained silent, so the three men didn’t quite understand what his intentions were. Did Ronny want to stay at the hotel without paying anything?“We have gold bars,” Jim said.“Oh…” the eyes of the three men lit up. “Then you can easily convert them to coins and stay at our hotel. We’ll offer the only VIP room and service to you for as long as you stay here. You can live there like a king, sir.”“Hmph,” Ronny indifferently snorted. “Lead the way.”All three of them happily led the way. Ronny followed them with a stone-face. Jim was in the back, carrying the bags with some effort as they weighed quite a bit.As they reached the town, there was a guard post, where an old lady with a rifle was sitting. She pointed the rifl
After crushing Jumbo, Jim picked up the bags again and followed Ronny and others.The man with the scar had a different expression now. He was being more friendly as he talked with Ronny. “My name is Ace. My lord is Joker. The second floor has a total of 108 streets, which are ruled by 36 lords. My lord is one of them. You can say that the lords are the strongest people on this floor. If you can defeat a lord, you can get the territory he has.”“Oh, then why don’t the lords defeat other lords?” Ronny asked. “Why are there 36 of them?”Ace smiled. “Because defeating one lord and acquiring his street is one thing, but defeating two or more lords will get the attention of other lords. And they will do everything in their power to suppress you. So, in a way, the lords keep the balance going on this second floor.”“I see,” Ronny smiled as if he was confident in himself. “There’s no sun or moon here, right? What do you guys do for a living?”“We get food delivered to us by the robots after
Because it was a hotel, it didn’t take longer than ten minutes to get all the food arranged on the dining table.In that time, all the gold bars were converted into gold coins. Joker didn’t give them physical gold coins but digital gold coins as that was necessary to participate in the auctions or the pawn betting games.Still, it was only one bag that Ronny and Jim decided to convert into digital gold coins because they were both planning to take the remaining two bags of gold outside the dungeon.Currently, Jim had three bags with him. One was full of guns, and the other two were full of 24K gold bars with 99.9 percent purity. Many eyes were on Jim, and he could feel their gazes.Ronny was holding two mobiles, which had an application that allowed one to use the dungeon website. To Ronny and Jim’s surprise, their accounts were already made, so all they had to do was login using their retina scan. Both of them were able to check their balance, which was over 800 coins, which was equa
After talking with Joker and Ace, Jim told Ronny in front of everyone, “Boss, let me go and empty a lord’s seat for you. You can then come and sit on the throne.”Ace was very surprised to hear that. “Are you really going after Little_Nightmare?”“You said that she sells the fruits and vegetables at a high price, didn’t you?” Jim replied. “If I defeat her, then all those profits will be mine, right? I mean, they’ll be my boss’s, right?”“I already warned you about Nightmare_lily,” Ace said. “If you still want to attack her, then go on.”“I don’t know the route to her territory, so I need you to come with me,” Jim said.“What?” Ace’s heart skipped a beat. “No, I won’t.”“You will go,” Joker said, startling Ace.“But, Boss…” Ace tried to reason with him, but Joker’s expression didn’t change.Joker looked at Jim. “You can depend on my right hand man for support.”“Don’t think he’s weaker than me just because he calls me boss,” Ronny blurted. “He doesn’t need anybody’s help. He can defeat
A few minutes earlier.In the middle of the street, an adult man’s body was cut open against his will, and half of his liver was collected. “How could you do this to me?” he cried out. “I was only a minute late.”“Be grateful that I only cut half and not ninety percent of it, Daddy,” a guy wearing black uniform with plastic horns on his head was snickering at one of the civilians on the second floor living in Flower Street.The adult man with checkered pants cried miserably. “If you cut half of my liver, the nano-system is going to demand me to do a lot more crazy things. I can’t listen to that evil system anymore. You should rather kill me. I’d happily go to hell rather than suffer here.”“Haha, how can we lose free flesh supply?” The guy in the uniform laughed and walked away. “You are all going to work hard for our lord. That’s your only purpose of existence. If you really want to die, then die for our lord. Go to her, and she’ll grant you a nightmarish death.”The adult man trembl
