Chapter 194 - Chapter 111: Changes at the Hearth Manor

Takatsuki had always known about Fu Hua's unlucky attribute, and he had deeply realized it on the very first day he went to sweep the Dungeon with her.

"Maybe it's just bad luck, and it didn't drop any materials. After all, even a Floor Boss doesn't necessarily drop materials."

Takatsuki said to Kiana, and at the same time, golden Ripples appeared beneath the huge magic stone, slowly engulfing it into the King's Treasure.

"Takatsuki-kun, shall we continue down now? Or should we go back first?"

Hearing Mei's words, Takatsuki took out his phone and checked the time. Recently, he had been letting Mei practice charging phones with 'weak' currents to cultivate her control ability, so everyone's brick phones were finally useful again. Although there was no signal, being able to play some offline games made Bronya very satisfied.

"It's only four o'clock. Let's go to the 50th floor first. Although the 49th Floor Boss has been dealt with, using the 49th floor as a teleportation point is still a bit unstable. The 50th floor is a safe floor."

Naturally, no one refused Takatsuki's suggestion.

After conquering the Dungeon for a day, resting on a safe floor was also a good choice.

"Wow! What a beautiful forest!"

The 50th floor was vast, stretching as far as the eye could see with forests and grasslands. Coupled with the light provided by the crystals on the ceiling, it was no different from the surface.

"This is the 50th floor. Although it's a safe floor and there's no danger, still be careful. There's a beautiful lake in that direction, you can go and take a look. I'll go find a place to set up a teleportation coordinate."

After Takatsuki finished speaking, Kiana giggled and pushed Mei, running towards the direction Takatsuki pointed.

"Do you need my help?"

Fu Hua looked at Takatsuki.

"No, no, I've been here once before, so I'm quite familiar. You go with them."

Fu Hua nodded and walked towards Kiana and the others.

After watching them walk away, Takatsuki also looked around, then with a few leaps, he landed on a naturally formed stone pillar.

"This will do."

Takatsuki sensed the inventory within the King's Treasure and suddenly paused.

"It's actually all used up?"

The weapons Takatsuki had been using as coordinates in the Dungeon were all ordinary weapons drawn from the item pool, which could be described as B-rank and C-rank.

Weapons of these two ranks had no supernatural powers; they were merely high-quality common iron, and nothing more. Although they might be considered decent weapons by some adventurers, high-level adventurers would eventually look down on them, and Takatsuki naturally felt the same.

In the previous dozens of floors, Takatsuki had already left these weapons as beacons for [Close at Hand Yet Worlds Apart] in those locations.

"I didn't expect to run out of these things."

The main reason was that Takatsuki had previously cleaned out his backpack, discarding many unused items.

"In that case, let's draw some cards on the spot."

Waving his hand to open the system, Takatsuki opened the item pool's gacha interface and clicked on the ten-pull.

Seeing the guaranteed purple item, which was a rather handsome black chest plate, he casually threw it and the accompanying white and blue items into the King's Treasure. Takatsuki continued to draw cards. The current Takatsuki no longer cared much for these A-rank equipments, unless some items with special effects appeared that were worth keeping.

However, purple items rarely had strange effects now; they were mostly equipment and such.

The character pool was the same, it felt as if the beginner's protection period had passed.

When he reached the 80th pull, he saw a hint of gold, and Takatsuki stopped.

He had a slight obsession: once he started drawing cards, he had to clear the padded draws before stopping.

Clicking on the golden card and looking at the pattern and text on it, Takatsuki showed a strange expression.

"This thing can also be used as equipment? Oh, no, it's an item, so it's normal?"

[Imperial Guardian: Shikoutazer]

[Effect One: Supreme Defense, as the original Imperial Armament, crafted with countless precious materials, the Shikoutazer possesses unparalleled defensive power]

[Effect Two: Supreme Bombardment, in its normal state, the Shikoutazer has two main cannons and thirty-six secondary cannons]

[Effect Three: Supreme Power, the Shikoutazer uses Supreme Power as its energy core, in its normal state, energy recovery speed is equal to consumption speed]

[Effect Four: Purge Mode, external appearance transforms into a dragon, weapon destructive power and quantity significantly increase, defensive power significantly increases, energy consumption doubles. After one hour, energy is depleted and Purge Mode is exited]

[Description: The Shikoutazer, the origin of all Imperial Armaments, and also the pinnacle of all Imperial Armaments, possesses power comparable to that of a deity.]

Looking at the Imperial Guardian: Shikoutazer, which only occupied one slot in his backpack, Takatsuki knew that if he released this thing, it could pierce through this 50th floor.

However, as an item drawn from the system, Takatsuki learned that this item had a special feature different from the original work.

That is, if the Imperial Guardian: Shikoutazer is placed in the equipment slot and used as equipment, it does not require an additional pilot to enter it, and it can be summoned at any time by Takatsuki's side. The summoned Imperial Guardian: Shikoutazer is a projection of the original version, and even if it is damaged, it will only enter a 24-hour cooldown period and will not be truly damaged.

Takatsuki could also directly throw it out for use, or give it to others, but if it was damaged this way, it would be truly broken.

"This thing, I'll keep it in my backpack for now."

The Imperial Guardian: Shikoutazer was still considered unconventional equipment. Takatsuki still didn't put it in the equipment slot. Currently, two items were permanently in the equipment slot: the King's Treasure and the Dog Talisman.

The remaining equipment slot was for the Ox Talisman, which could be swapped out at any time.

Taking out a dagger from his backpack and inserting it into the stone pillar, Takatsuki attached his Nen to it, then walked towards Kiana and the others.

There wasn't much beautiful scenery in Orario; instead, it was in the Dungeon, which should have been sunless, that there were picturesque landscapes and clear lakes.

Although they weren't wearing swimsuits, the girls still played in the lake.

When they returned, they didn't use a bonfire to slowly dry off; Fu Hua used a "Broken Mirror, Renewed" to return all the water on them back to the lake.

"Alright, it's time to go back."

Takatsuki once again opened the passage to the Hearth Manor living room. The current [Close at Hand Yet Worlds Apart] passage was not wide enough for one person to walk through, so Takatsuki opened it like a burrow in the ground.

"Heave-ho!"

Kiana jumped in immediately. After everyone else had passed through, Takatsuki jumped in, and the moment he entered, the passage disappeared.

Upon returning to the Hearth Manor living room, he and the others looked in astonishment at the chaotic state of the room.

"What happened here!"
