The bitter smile on Hanses' face deepened when he heard Kieran's question.
"I calculated the time to enter the treasure room. It was five minutes before the Main Mission was completed and I had to return!
When the guards noticed that something was wrong and entered the treasure room, my return time was up!
I thought it would be an 'unexpected' bountiful harvest …
But there was an accident, and not even a shadow of a bountiful harvest!
My actions earned me a three level rating, which allowed me to activate this Special Dungeon, but all the items that I put in my backpack disappeared!
All I brought back was an empty backpack! "
Hanses said.
Kieran's mind was spinning rapidly as he listened to Hanses's story.
"It's not safe to return!
"At the very least, under the premise that we are blocked, such a return is just a 'delay'!"
"In fact, it might even cause … 'punishment'!"
Kieran chose the word carefully.
That was the feeling he got from Hans's actions and the background description.
Then, strangely, Kieran thought of the [Devil's Heart] that had turned from a tiger to a rabbit after he had returned to the game.
There was no connection at all.
Yet it had appeared in Kieran's mind.
Huu!
Kieran let out a breath, pulling his thoughts back to reality.
"Do you need to enter the Special Dungeon for your next mission?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes!"
Hanses nodded.
"How much is the reward?"
Kieran asked straightforwardly.
Lawless had mentioned that this was a mercenary mission.
Naturally, there would be a reward.
The more dangerous the mission, the higher the reward.
"This!"
A screenshot appeared in Kieran's PM.
It was an Orange Skill Book.
[Blade Kick], the name of the Skill Book.
A Rare Rank Skill Book?
Kieran looked at Hanses in surprise.
He had not expected Hanses to offer a Rare Rank Skill Book as a reward.
Kieran had initially thought that the reward would be 30000 Points and 7 or 8 Skill Points.
As for a Rare Skill Book, it was naturally worth far more than that.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm an adventurer who has completed six dungeons. It's only natural that I have some good stuff on me!"
Besides, this mission is really dangerous. If I don't pay a high price, you won't agree! "
Hans shrugged.
Kieran pondered in silence.
He was weighing the pros and cons.
After going through another Normal Dungeon, he would enter [The Shaman's Partner 2]. If he wanted to gain something from that Dungeon, he would need to be at least three times stronger than he was now. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the right to participate in it.
However, Kieran did not have such confidence in a normal dungeon world.
But if there was one more …
Naturally, he would have more confidence.
The cooldown for entering a Special Instance Dungeon required a normal Instance Dungeon, not a similarly Special Instance Dungeon.
As for the danger?
With his method of doing his best to dig out titles and Side Quests, which one of them wasn't dangerous?
Moreover, he had obtained a Rare Skill Book before entering the dungeon world.
It was an offensive skill that he was sorely lacking.
Kieran was very tempted by it.
Of course, before he agreed to it, he still had to clarify some things.
"Everything from the dungeon belongs to me too?"
Kieran asked.
"That's the unspoken rule.
Everything from the dungeon belongs to you. You just need to do your best to help me get through this dungeon safely! "
Hans said in a firm tone.
"Deal!"
Kieran extended his right hand for a handshake.
"Rachel, bring us some wine!
We just finished a trade here, we need some wine to celebrate! "
Lawless, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly shouted at Rachel.
"You and 2567, drink and eat in my place, and I'll pay you double!"
Rachel said coldly.
"Double?
Rachel, my dear Rachel, you can't do this!
This isn't fair!
I've brought you a lot of business in the past, so for the sake of the past … "
Lawless looked at Rachel with a pleading expression.
"It's because of the past that you can continue to stay in my inn!
And the interest on the debt you owe me will be doubled! "
Rachel looked at Lawless and said word by word.
"Oh, no!"
Lawless screamed and fell on the table.
Kieran, on the other hand, was smiling when he saw the scene.
He was still grateful to Lawless, his friend in the game, for all that he had done for him.
Even if Hanses had not paid him, if Lawless had acted as the middleman, Kieran might have agreed to enter the dungeon with him.
Lawless, however, did not.
Not only did he not, but he also left the conversation to Kieran and Hanses, allowing them to complete the task alone.
Lawless's well-mannered way of doing things made Kieran's impression of Lawless rise by another notch.
As for Lawless' weakness against Rachel?
Only a blind man would not be able to tell that there was something fishy going on between the two of them.
Kieran was sitting on the chair, drinking the beer that Lawless had cried and yelled at but had not lowered its price. He was talking to Hanses and Lawless in a low voice, agreeing on a time to enter the dungeon.
Since they were in a party, they had to enter the dungeon together.
Kieran had entered the team dungeon [Prison on the Island] two weeks ago. According to the system rules, if he wanted to enter the dungeon again, he would have to wait for another two weeks, or at least a month.
Lawless had to do the same.
It did not conflict with Kieran's reading plan though.
Kieran finished his beer quickly after thinking about the two-week plan. He then bid farewell to Lawless, Hanses, and Rachel before leaving Harvest Inn.
Kieran took the train back to his house in the game.
13th Wallway Street.
As Kieran approached the front door, he suddenly stopped.
He sensed a malicious intent.
"Who is it?
Come out! "
He looked at the direction of the malicious intent. It was coming from a shadow outside the old warehouse.
Kieran shouted coldly.
His other hand was holding the [Python-W2].
A thought popped up in Kieran's mind.
The Killer Organization?
It was a simple and direct guess.
This was because he did not offend many people in the underground game. In fact, it could be said that he had offended very few people.
Those who hated him to the bone would want to kill him.
That meant the Killer Organization was the only one.
Still, the Killer Organization's eagerness had exceeded Kieran's expectations.
Lawless and some other veterans were looking for the Killer Organization.
Yet the Killer Organization had appeared before him.
So …
Killing the chicken to warn the monkey!
Kieran immediately thought of the possibility. His eyes were glued to the shadow and his ears were listening to the movements around him.
He was worried that the Killer Organization was not alone.
If it were him, he would have sent more men to search for the Killer Organization just in case.
