Chapter 157: “Mastery”
Sugaru gave birth to a new Queen Vespoid and we entrusted the Teur Grasslands to her. Without giving additional experience points or conducting training, if it’s a ☆1, that level is sufficient.
While giving various potions to infantry ants and engineer ants, they are mass-produced and released throughout the grasslands. During the cooldown of [Birth], Sugaru has the ants summoned to maintain the situation. The plan is to withdraw once the new queen’s rule is established.
If the boss area is treated as a separate field, the difficulty will not change as long as Rare is in this hall. There are no noticeable posts about it on social media so far, just warnings from beginners who have been wiped out.
“But wouldn’t changing the dungeon specifications without any change in difficulty create suspicion?”
Temporarily changing the difficulty during dungeon transformation might add some realism. Sugaru went out to the grasslands.
“…Alright, players who have posted on the forum are already reacting. As expected, it instantly became ☆5. That confirms that only the boss area is treated separately.”
The results were immediately apparent. Currently, Teur Grasslands is highly popular. Quick responses are good. Additionally, contacting Blanc, Sugaru informed her of the possibility of changing difficulty and requested permission to take Deas out of the Lord’s mansion.
The attention on Erntal is also high. Due to the recent presence of a “wandering boss”, it has become popular as well. It seems that when a wandering boss appears, the difficulty temporarily increases to ☆4, and it can be known immediately. Even if it’s known immediately, if they’re not in some town, the teleport list can’t be seen, and there’s nothing to be done inside the dungeon.
Regarding the unusually strong players, Deas reported that they were individuals wearing armor made from Adama-something. Since it exists in the continent’s veins, it was known that someone would find it someday. It’s earlier than expected, but it’s unavoidable.
