I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 319 Legendary (2)

Paule finally found some helpers that fit the description that Billy gave her. He had asked for some guys who weren't brave enough to try to sell information about him and his friends and weren't greedy enough for their desires to overpower their fear. Thanks to that, the next day in the dungeon, Billy, Alexander, and Sarah were accompanied by quite the fearful group of three boys no older than fifteen. Apparently, they had come with dreams of conquering the dungeon and becoming famous adventurers. Still, they quickly changed professions once they felt on their skin how dangerous that place was. It was a common event between adventurers and kids tend to think of themselves highly until they find the real problems...

"Don't worry, we will protect you," Alexander said while tapping the shoulders of those kids. "To make sure that nothing will happen to you all, Billy will cover our back."

The boys looked like fearful and doubtful that a single person could do that job alone. Those kids helped other parties, and the back was always the most guarded place. Always have at least four members… Despite his fame, Billy didn't look reliable in the eyes of those kids since he was always muttering inaudible things and looking upward and downward while thinking about who knows what. The truth was that he was thinking that he should have made a tank to something to cross the dungeon as fast as possible. While he couldn't enter the dungeon with one since it would draw too much attention to him, it certainly would help with the job. If anything, he could make one inside the dungeon… As long as he brings the materials because he learned that he couldn't take too much Earth from the ground. Simple spells weren't a problem, but he couldn't change the dungeon's layout, not even with his insane reserves of mana.

Eventually, the helpers noticed that safety wasn't the problem. The problem was the pace of Billy's group. They crossed the three floors of the dungeon without getting a single scratch, and the battles barely lasted a few seconds. In fact, they lost more time waiting for them to get the horns than fighting. Fortunately, those kids got used to the pace, and eventually, things began to improve.

"What are the plans for today, Billy?" Alexander asked.

"We will reach the entrance to the fifth floor and then retreat," Billy replied. "After that, we will take a day off, and the next time, we will stay until we find the entrance to the sixth floor.

"That is… Quite the simple plan," Alexander said.

"I am open to better ideas," Billy said.

"Any reason as to why you want to follow that kind of schedule?" Sarah asked.

"The real problem here is the spawning rate of the monsters, so by staying longer than usual, we will face more monsters and decrease the spawning rate," Billy said. "I am going to sell one of the other crossbows tomorrow and considering all that, the next parties will have an easier time reaching the deepest levels."

The plan was simple, but it wasn't bad. Billy was operating, trying to clear the dungeon as soon as possible in order to be free of that task. He only wanted to be with his family for as long as possible… Upon noticing that, Alexander and Sarah couldn't help but shrug. Still, they could understand his feelings. Fame and money meant nothing compared to the happiness of being surrounded by those you loved.

After two and half hours, the group reached the fourth floor, and while the helpers were pretty tired, the thing would be a bit easier for them. Still, they were quite scared of the Poisonous pollen.

"You guys never made it this far?" Billy asked the helpers.

"The groups that reached the fourth floor are all veterans who work with the same helpers for years, we only were hired by new groups now and then."

"Sarah, you are in the front, so use wind magic to ventilate the place and make the pollen move forward," Billy said.

"Won't that make them accumulate in other areas?" Sarah asked.

"You can bury them if you want, but the other guys who have been in this dungeon for months, have developed some resistance to it, so I think it is useless," Billy replied.

Even against the groups of mushrooms, the groups didn't face many problems. Thanks to that, Billy's imagination was running wild again. After the tank, he began to think of making a magic replica of the batmobile that could fire elemental rounds and wipe the floor with the monsters' bodies. Still eventually, Billy forgot about that and realized that the fourth floor was a lot larger than the previous ones. It was hard to say because they didn't know how many hours had passed, by given the loot that they obtained, Billy assumed that more than ten hours had passed since they entered the fourth floor. Even Alexander and Billy were getting tired and physical tasks were there for them. As for the helpers, they were exhausted since they couldn't stop eating or drinking anything. Fortunately, they eventually found the entrance to the fifth floor. While everyone sighed in relief, Billy decided to go down for a single fight to see if they should change their tactics next time… Still, against six enemies, things were fine.

"Wait, what… Is it still afternoon?" Alexander asked when they left the dungeon.

"Dumbass… It is morning…" Billy said. "You guys did a good job today, we will come only the day after tomorrow, if you still wanna join us, then rest as much as you can."

Those kids weren't so sure of that, but they changed their minds when Billy paid them. They earned around twenty-five good coins, and Billy gave them 3 and a half each. It was way above their usual pay, but Billy was trying to bribe them because they worked well and because he wanted to make use of their services again.
