Unexpected Gains
Hmm? My possessions? Rael raised a brow before pressing the "Yes" button.
"You do that," he chuckled and went over to the Premium Shop.

• Medium-Level Healing Potion (Uncommon): 1,500 Trell
Ouch... The price tag is a bit... Rael held back his sour expression but nonetheless bought the Medium-Level Poison Antidote.
Since it was a Level 2 poison, it would naturally require a higher-level potion. At the same time, the rot would be cured, as it fell into both the curse and poison categories.
After drinking the potion, the notifications soon followed.

"This one tasted like apple juice," Rael mused aloud—though paying 1,000 Trell for magical apple juice didn't sit right with him.
Nonetheless, he glanced at the initializing bar and saw that it now displayed a percentage of its progress.
So it's going to be done in a minute. Nice. Rael hummed in excitement and waited patiently.
"By now, he had already returned to camp and sat on the comfy rat-hide bed.
Finally, the notification he'd been waiting for arrived.
Oh? Rael's eyes widened. I can manage this dungeon?
He thought of doing so, but nothing happened.
Looking all around, he eventually spotted it at the very bottom of his status screen.

The option showing the official release had become clearer, and above it, the Dungeons section appeared.
Clicking the [+] icon beside the Manage Dungeons tab, he was immediately greeted with a wide screen.
...They are laundering my money. Rael grumbled, but since these were the only options he had for now, he went through with it and paid the 1,000 Trell.
In an instant, the entire dungeon shook, and soon after, a new interface appeared.
This time, it had more information.
Basic Monsters:
- Slightly Large Rat [Level 1] (x120) [+]
- Goblin Archer [Level 4] (x40) [+]
- Goblin Warrior [Level 5] (x40) [+]
Elite Monsters:
- None [+]
Boss Monsters:
- Gregory, Mutated Goblin Rat (Rare Boss) [Level 10] (x1) [+]
Noticing the plus signs beside the monsters, Rael couldn't help but click on one of them.
Two options appeared—one was to add more monsters, while the other was simply to upgrade.
He chose the upgrade.
- Slightly Large Rat [Level 1] (x120) → Large Rat [Level 5] (x120)
No. Rael immediately shook his head. You're not bringing me into debt. I need something cheaper...
It was a pity he could only do bulk upgrades, and there seemed to be no option to upgrade each rat individually.
But even then, it would still cost him 250 Trell per rat.
Nonetheless, Rael soon placed his eyes on the Elite Monsters section, which just so happened to be empty.
Yet, it still had a plus sign beside it, which he pressed without hesitation.
In an instant, a menu detailing a few options appeared.
- Goblin Mage (Rare Elite) [Level 10] (x1): 1,500 Trell
- Festering Rat Thing (Rare Elite) [Level 10] (x1): 2,000 Trell
- Goblin Swordsman (Rare Elite) [Level 10] (x1): 3,500 Trell
The prices were certainly steep—but not as bad as what the system had tried pulling earlier.
However, despite his curiosity, he wasn't exactly sure what benefits this dungeon would bring.
If anything, it seemed like he was throwing his money down the drain
But just as he was about to abandon this waste of money, he suddenly glanced at the very bottom of the massive interface and saw something that made him freeze in place.
What...? How does this work? He clicked the number, and it suddenly expanded.
- Slightly Large Rat [Level 1] (x120): 120 Trell Daily
- Goblin Archer [Level 4] (x40): 160 Trell Daily
- Goblin Warrior [Level 5] (x40): 200 Trell Daily
- Gregory, Mutated Goblin Rat (Rare Boss) [Level 10] (x1): 1000 Trell
This is... A gold mine...? Rael's eyes widened in shock as he read the information.
If this was true, then every single day, as long as these monsters were alive, he would gain 1,480 Trell.
Rael went back to the previous category where it showed the monsters, and instead of upgrading, he clicked on the add more monsters option.
- Slightly Large Rat [Level 1]: 10 Trell
A chuckle escaped Rael's mouth as he glanced at his balance.

I'm going to have fun with this.
