The labyrinth management is going smoothly.
The hearts of the visitorsAdventurers are captivated due to the initial lavish hospitality. With this, they will challenge the Dungeon and try to conquer it many times just like ants attracted to sugar. Even though the reward after every tenth floor is one of the attractions, it’s nothing but a ruse to attract customers in the beginning. The things obtained inside the labyrinth are more important. From the11th to 20th floor, the monsters will begin to work together. It becomes impossible to conquer the Dungeon with just brute force. And on each floor the amount of fiendish traps that block their way will increase. From there on is the real deal.This can be considered a phenomenon caused due to my blacksmith skill being inferior against Kurobee’s blacksmith skill. It can be said that there was also a level in judging arms. An amateur cannot tell the difference, an ordinary arms dealer can’t do it either, but an Adventurer who entrusts his life to the weapon, he will understand the difference clearly. Perhaps, the weapon also grows whenever it’s used. And then, even if the arms were just being made by Kurobee, they might have already possessed some growth. If you seek to appraise the arms, you might see the level of the weapon. As for the rare class equipment that the boss of the 10th floor drops, it is the greatest masterpieces of Kurobee’s apprentices’ works. There is a difference in the skill between each apprentice, but there’s not a large difference between the performances. I hope they polish their skill and I will expect the creation of various kinds of equipment in the future. So it was a different situation. The arms that are dropped by the boss of the 10th floor may be great equipment for normal people, but for us it’s only a place for Kurobee’s apprentices to improve by competing to produce a success product. It doesn’t mean it hurt our pockets very much. Rather, what more surprised is that the level was rare class. It doesn’t mean it will drop every time. The percentage to get the rare class equipment from the treasure chest that the boss protects is set to be around 2%. Assuming you need one hour to defeat the boss once, it’s not possible to open the treasure chest 24 times in one day. So, they should be able to get one rare class item on the second day. I think it’s the perfect drop rate to incite people with a passion for gambling. I think it’s human nature to collect a series items and if they get the same item, it will be exchanged or sold. As a result, I’m able to make more and more rational reasons for people to dive into the labyrinth.
So, with such feelings, the management is going as smoothly as planned. The immigration check to enter Tempest has become strict. Unlike before, only some merchants and adventurers with verified identification and qualifications can enter the country Well, the reason is to beware of spies, but there are also other reasons. That is rating.
And so one month has passed. Myormilles reports to me with a joyful look on his face.
「It’s going well, Rimuru-sama. The profits increase because of the improvement. Even if you deduct the cost for the drop products in the labyrinth from the profit, the profit covers it all. Though the rate of profit and investment can be said to be at 10:11. It’s enough to pay the wages for citizen labor. It seems that the national profit will grow in the future. If the number of the consumers increases, I think it might improve. Also, merchants come frequently to visit and say that they want to do transactions. Even in the Inn-town, because of the visiting merchants or workers who deal with monster parts, it has become like a small city. Rather than just staying there, they’re asking whether they can open a workshop or not.」 So I’m told. Fumufumu. It’s as I expected from beginning. As I explained before, in the end it’s not about making things and selling them at a high price only to make profit. But, it’s about the lack of jobs for the people that come in and out of this country.
Myormilles powerfully affirmed. Moreover, us huh? Though he is a human, he seems to completely think about things from our point of view. It’s a pleasant thing. A trust is not obtained instantly. It is say that trust is “tough to obtain, and easy to lose”. I think it’s exactly as like that.
When that young man stop his hand that writing on the paper, he closes the book and placed it on the table, he then takes that paper with his left hand and take out his staff with a considerably size of magic crystal on its ends that is laid on the wall besides him, he then left his seat and gazing out of the window and face up to sky, as he speak,
"With this, I can finally realize my goal!"
A smile cracked as he end those words.
