D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

The first half of the following week was scattered.

When you try to file a retirement report with the company, great people come out one after the other and try to retain them.

Besides, don't you think about the remaining aspects of the project? You're an idiot.

If you're going to quit and keep it, you just have to keep it decent from the beginning.

"I've heard about your mistake this time, but I don't particularly blame it."

The HR guy said that, but I had no choice but to be stunned.

"I haven't made any mistakes. I was just sent to apologize for the sales trouble and the other party closed the deal. I don't think it's natural to be questioned about sincerity at the bottom, which has nothing to do with my apology."

"... I didn't hear that."

"Even if they say I didn't hear it. It's not about your company."

To sum up, I complained to the euphemism, "I don't want to wipe the ass of a tree in the first place."

As a result, the resignation application was temporarily suspended, but salary up to the salary deadline was allowed.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

That's how I visited Thursday.

I was waving my hand to the Yoyogi Dungeon.

"Oh, shiny license. G rank that cannot be pushed. It's kind of a waste of cool, this one."

"Why can't Dobe's G rank be pushed?

"There's nobody back there."

"Hah...."

In a typical lanobe, cards are often made of different materials depending on rank, but the WDA license was a common plastic IC card.

However, the hologram is embedded in the counterfeit prevention, and the design of the rank display is elaborate, so it's cool.

"In a country where cartoons and animations are culture, even if it's just one card, it's very elaborate."

Miyoshi is looking forward to the Explorer Guide, which was enclosed.

It's like some kind of game manual, full of fantasy vibes. I thought it was a more bureaucratic dry document.

All that's written is common sense.

Well then, shall we go?

Copy that.

We left our apartment early in the morning and headed all the way to the Yoyogi Dungeon.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Yoyogi is a fairly large dungeon, but even the 21 floors that have been attacked have detailed information.

Detailed maps are available on official websites and can be seen inside the dungeon view. A dungeon version of Street View.

They often see Explorers walking in omnidirectional cameras.

"Unlike on the road, it's walking up and down, and when you avoid obstacles, the angle of view will change, and you're tracing it well and layering it, that's it."

You're not using a drone, are you?

"The monsters will destroy us."

It was written on the Dungeon Story page of the Yoyogi Dungeon.

"Why don't we just embed cameras everywhere and monitor them in real time?

"There's some kind of spatial disconnect that doesn't reach the radio waves."

"Disconnect?"

Miyoshi hugged her body and trembled, imagining her body falling apart.

"It doesn't affect the objects that pass through."

"Ah, now the dungeon is strange. If it's wired, you can walk through it."

"They're gonna feed the monsters."

Especially the damage caused by the slime. They said the cable they brought in the first time didn't last a day.

While talking like that, we took a reception at the entrance and got off to Yoyogi Dungeon 1F.

Most Explorers walk the shortest route down the stairs to 2F.

1F feels like slime and occasional goblins, and it's not as good as it sounds. Also, the downstairs to 2F, which was right next to the entrance, caused the 1F to be unpopular.

Looking sideways at the flow of such people, we were heading for the back of the 1F.

For the first time, I'm used to knocking it down.

"Hey, senpai. Let's check the experience of the slime."

"Why?"

"Well, now the trend is to quantify. Sell as information later!

"What's the trend? In general, can you ask me how you measured it?

"I developed a measuring instrument with new technology..."

"It's a scam! Besides, they'll tell you to sell the gauge."

"Trafficking in human beings is a bit difficult."

"Measuring instrument, me?!

"It's not a scam at all, because there's a lot of skill business in the world. Of course, we can't release the method, but researchers around the world will prove the information is correct."

What a powerful application.

But is it possible to be a researcher of the same genre and to follow the theory of others to verify it?

"Oh, here we go."

While doing so, I discovered the first monster, not the first villager.

Plumpy in the corner of the road. Slime.

"They're slow, they don't jump in like fiction, they don't eject anything, but they don't have a lot of weapons."

We don't have any magic, and if it was a slime, would you have brought me a flamethrower? I don't have anything like that. Well, there was a video of a spray can igniting, ejecting, and burning.

"That's right. Almost all of the slime is made of water, and it doesn't work even if it's cut or slapped."

Miyoshi lowered the backpack and took out some bottles.

"They say that breaking a core somewhere in the body will kill them, but it's hard to find out where a sphere about 1 cm is, and there are no drops in trouble, and they don't feel like they've gotten any stronger when they knock it down or knock it down."

It's not a good place.

"That's right. That's why we all break our hearts and go somewhere else."

"No, but aren't we breaking our hearts on the way?

There's a secret weapon experiment.

"Huh?"

Miyoshi suddenly stood up and said with her left hand against her hips, pushing up the bridge of the air glasses with her right hand.

"Okay? The fact that most of the liquid slime remains in shape means that the interfacial free energy inside and outside the slime is destabilizing and minimizing the surface area."

"Oh, Miyoshi Sensei?

That's it, pointing to the slime right ahead.

As surface area is minimized, it approaches the sphere. I'm sure it's plump.

"I don't think it's a good idea to bring our science into the fantasy world."

In fact, weapons like small arms, including guns, seem to work only in 10 layers. Since then, it has gradually ceased to be used, and I heard that it will hardly be used in 20 layers.

This is why medium-depth tactics are difficult.

In the case of gunpowder weapons, it seems that the human growth gained by defeating monsters is not reflected in attack power for one reason...

"I think we can apply physical characteristics. And if you keep the shape in that state, you can't keep the shape if you lower the interfacial free energy."

Surfactant?

"Do you even try soap and water?

"That's right. In the meantime, we have prepared anionic, cationic, and amphoteric types."

That said, Miyoshi switched on the camera attached to the helmet.

Apparently, they're recording footage.

"If anything happens, please defend yourself."

"Yeah, but this?

I shaken the 30cm frying pan I took out.

"Senpai, weapons and equipment are expensive. And that's total titanium. It is hard and light, and it is resistant to corrosion. The thermal conductivity is low, so even a little flame is fine. Because it is a Chinese hotpot type, it can be rounded to divert attacks. I think you're much better than those shields.

"I don't know what it means to make a frying pan with titanium with poor thermal conductivity."

"Is it thermal insulating?

Miyoshi is also twisting his head.

"Well, no. I'm ready."

I held a frying pan and stood up in front of the slime.

Bye now. First of all, it is an anion type. Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, fire!

It's not much different from magic spells.

The bottle that Miyoshi gripped was sprayed with a surfactant that looked like an anion type.

The slime that hit it just waved the surface and trembled full.

It doesn't seem to be very effective.

"That's right. It seems to work quite well for G, Mama Lemon."

Unfortunately, I make notes on my tablet.

"Well then, it's a cation type!

"Mixing with the anion type will reduce the surfactant effect, right?

"It's okay, it's okay. I can't wash it, and it's like an experiment to waste time anyway."

"Are you busy!?

But the effect was dramatic.

As soon as Miyoshi's sprayed cationic surfactant hit the slime, the bread and slime burst out.

"What is this? What is this? Anyone from an alien?

"The main ingredient is benzethonium chloride"

"Oh, it looks strong."

"Isn't that right? But when it's commonly sold, it's called a macchiron."

"Disinfectant?

"Yes"

"Slime is weak to Machiron?

Looks like it.

"Ah, shall I buy the shares of Daiichi Sankyo?

"I don't think there's much demand even if the world knows about it."

While saying that, Miyoshi took out a large sharpening iron and slapped the rolling core.

The cracked core was reduced to black particles.

"Now the slime is no longer an enemy!

"If we ignore it, we're not enemies from the beginning."

"So senpai, I think that's what women don't have."

Miyoshi gave me a hammer and a bottle of macaroons.

"Senpai's skills quantify his experience, right?

"Experience value or value added to each status is quantified."

"Well, let's assume that's what we call experiential."

"Usu"

When we come, we walk. There are no traps in the dungeon at the moment, so it would have been easier to move around the dungeon if you had even been careful with the monsters.

"Second Monster Found"

"Making"

I murmured and displayed the usual screen.

"Holy shit! Nantokanium chloride!

"Senpai... do you want to do that?

A buzzing noise will erupt and the slime will burst.

"It is our tradition to shout the name of Waza."

After that, it's a simple job to just tap on the rolling ball.

Gong.

"What do you think?

"Hmm, the increment is 0.02."

"0.02....."

Miyoshi entered it into the tablet spreadsheet software.

Well then, let's go!

So we kept hitting the slime until the battery on the tablet went out.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Miyoshi and I came back to my apartment.

Miyoshi hasn't tried to transfer the returned data to the notebook PC for statistical processing...

"What's wrong?

"I don't even have to do statistical processing. You'll see."

That's why Miyoshi handed me the tablet.

1 0.020

2 0.010

3 0.007

4 0.005

5 0.004

6 0.003

11 0.002

12 0.002

...

70 0.002

71 0.001

72 0.002

Seventy-two slimes were defeated in the end.

So, the acquired SP... 0.182?

"Well, no matter how many slimes I had, I had to kill 72 of them."

"Everyone goes through."

Miyoshi was in the kitchen, and while doing some work on the 5L poly tank that I bought and prepared the other day, she stopped by.

"But at first... huh? Is this the first ten of them divided by the number you knocked down?

"That's right. The more you defeat, the more your experience is divided by the number you defeat, and it looks like 1/10 from the tenth."

"If it stays at 0.02 for a long time, it should have 1.44 SPs."

"Hmm? SP?

"Oh, didn't I tell you? For convenience, what we call experiential points now is called SP."

Hmm. Like status points?

Maybe.

Well, from now on, I'll use SP.

"Yes, but 0.182 is too much of a gap, even though it was supposed to score 1.44 points."

"When you get stronger, you lose experience efficiency, right?

"As the level goes up, the experience required to reach the next level will only increase, and the experience when you defeat the same monster will be the same, normal."

"Well, that's more natural, right? So far..."

Miyoshi presented two hypotheses.

Hypothesis 1. Decrease if defeated sequentially.

Hypothesis 2. Original SP is the value when more than 10 are defeated, the first 10 are the bonus.

"One can't be verified without other monsters on the way."

"Goblins in the 1F, right?

"Looks like the only thing popping up is around the stairs down to 2F. And as soon as I get out, someone will hunt me."

Well, check it out if you can.

"Hmm? Miyoshi?

"Tomorrow, I have a commercial licensing workshop that I signed up for the other day. Aime Omi Merchant! Because."

"Bruise. But what about work?

"Fufufufu. I didn't digest it at all with pay. On Thursday and Friday."

"Well done on getting permission."

"Now, thanks to you, the project has stopped. Now, the bottom end is all-you-can-take."

"No, thanks to me...."

I think I owe it to Saki.

Well, that's good. I don't hate this kind of tricky work, and I've been going to Yoyogi for a while...

"Hey, why is number 71 so low?

"Oh, that's right. Look, I think the stone I kicked off hit him by chance."

"I see. Half because we attacked each other. Equalization is amazing."

"Isn't it amazing?

"I mean, regardless of how much you've contributed to the fight, you're just going to be overwhelmed by the number of participants, right? All you can do is beat me up."

All you have to do is pretend to be coincidental and hit the pebbles in the area during someone else's battle.

"... that's it."

Hmm?

"If it's quantified, it's going to make a lot of noise."

Well, it's not quantified right now, so nobody would expect that to happen.

If this goes public... we're going to have a hunting ground slaughtered.

"Miyoshi"

"Yes"

"There are quite a few things you shouldn't announce, so let's talk about it when you publish it."

"Okay."

Nevertheless, if the early explorers were to dive almost every day, they would have already been on an adventure for about 1,100 days.

Because this is a slime, if you get an average of 1 point or more of SP per day, you already have quite a few points, and it's strange that I'm in the top.

So, 0.182 is that normal?

"So, what are you doing just now?

"I have a company for a while. I've made an alien powder. There are five 5L containers, so will they hold them for a while?

"Oh, thank you."

At that time, I didn't know it was unusual to kill 72 animals a day alone, even though it was a slime.

In addition, I didn't know that there were usually a lot of people partying and diving.
