My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Chapter 20:

Dungeon Shop

The giant cockroach was defeated by the slime and became an irrecoverable cockroach.

What I am talking about is that copper plate I picked up earlier. It was a monster card, and I summoned it. The giant cockroach appeared. As a test, I tried to fight the slime on the first floor underground. But against the giant cockroach, which had only attack methods such as biting and ramming, the slime preyed on the giant cockroaches with entangling acid attacks.

Moreover, it seemed that I couldn't unsummoned it when in a fighting state, and before I could rescue it, the giant cockroach was defeated by the slime. That was a complete mismatch between the two opponents.

The fallen giant cockroach did not return to the card again but disappeared in a puff of smoke. In other words, the monster card would disappear when it is defeated.

Well, I got the information but lost the massive cockroach card instead. I feel like it was a waste of a good thing. But it's a bit of a bummer.

Well, I'm going to sell the magic stone to the dungeon store for money today. Two months have already passed since my refrigerator became a dungeon. It's been almost a month since I became unemployed.

So I want to make a plan to raise money.

Fortunately, the world seems to have made a lot of progress in the two weeks I've been diligently creating the Bug

king Suit. Around the dungeons opened to the public on a trial basis, there are now dungeon stores that buy items from the dungeons.

Moreover, just like used bookstores and recycling stores, it is possible to turn what you bring into cash on the spot at the dungeon shop. Well, I'm glad to hear that. Many online stores claim to buy dungeon drops at high prices. But they seem to be a scam.

What I mean by that you may get paid only at a low price below the market price, or the item you sent for evaluation is taken away without telling you that you have not received it, and so on.

Therefore, if you wanted to sell magic stones, it is safer to go to a dungeon store where they can buy them on the spot. If you don't like the price, you can withdraw the purchase on the spot.

"That's it, ride on!"

I straddled my beloved 400cc motorcycle and headed straight to the dungeon store.

.

I arrived at the dungeon on a vacant lot in Tokyo before they constructed the building.

As a remnant of that, the site is surrounded by a steel fence, and the signboard of the construction plan remains. For those involved in the building construction, the dungeon is a nuisance.

I parked my bike and wandered around the area using the map on my phone, and soon found the store I was looking for.

However, I did not enter the store immediately but walked past it two or three times to see what was inside. It was not particularly meaningful, but shy otaku is unusually cautious when entering a store they don't know.

"Welcome to Dungeon Shop Parade!"

When I finally entered the store through the double-opening automatic doors, I was greeted by the cheerful voice of a female clerk. Mmm, a good impression. The interior was white and clean, similar to a store selling phones. But like a souvenir shop in a tourist spot, there were wooden swords and baseball bats for sale near the doorway, which made me realize that this was a dungeon store.

As I looked up, my eyes met those of the young female clerk behind the counter, and she smiled at me. What a smiley face! It's not good. As a guy who is never smiled at by a woman, I don't know what kind of face to make at a time like this.

"I think you should smile", who says such a thing?

It would be nice if I could smile back, but I have a debuff called "commusho" that is always in effect, so it's difficult for me to do so. So it was all I could do to keep my voice even.

"Um, I heard that you buy magic stones here."

It was good until I could speak to the cute female clerk in the red polo shirt at the store without my voice turning inside out, but I couldn't finish, and my tongue got tangled.

"Hi, we accept. If you don't mind, please put the item you wish to sell here."

But the pretty waitress seemed to have no idea that my tongue had gotten tangled, and she set up a silver tray on the counter for me. But when I turned my head to the side, I saw the difference in height between my stomach and chest. Hmmm, what a big-breasted lady waitress, in addition to being cute.

"Ah, yes. Then I'll have this one."

"Yes, please wait in the store for a while then."

Oh, my speech is terrible.

I've been talking to myself for a while now, and I've forgotten how to converse with people. But even so, I can smoothly hand over the magic stone I had asked to purchase because I had put it in a plastic pouch in advance.

The cute, big-breasted female clerk put them on a tray and went from the counter into the backspace.

(Hmmm, there must be someone in the back who can sense magic power.)

The magic stone could be faked with red acrylic resin if people wanted to. However, the magic stone has hidden magic power. I can feel the magic power from the magic stone now that I can also use magic power by using my skills.

Anyway, I kill time looking at mug cups that have nothing to do with dungeons and pens that can write even when wet, displayed in the store until I finish the evaluation of the magic stone. If any other customers were asking to buy, I could have learned what kind of things they buy, but unfortunately, I was the only customer in the store right now.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, a waiting customer to buy.

Oh, it looks like they've finished the evaluation. Let's see.

"Here is the price."

The amount on the purchase form was 84,000 yen. The magic stone I handed over was about 150 grams, about the size of a handful. That would mean that one gram was worth 560 yen. Even so, I was grateful for the immediate cash payment of 84,000 yen. I'm currently in financial difficulties, but we have a polyethylene bucket full of magic stones.

"Yes, please!"

It wasn't quite finished. But that's how I got my 84,000 yen in cash.

After that, I went to other stores and got almost half a million yen in cash by selling small portions of magic stones there. I didn't sell them all at once is I feared that selling them in too large a quantity would make me look bad. If people thought I had a hidden dungeon, it probably would not have led to a good result.

["Fukyyuuun (Kofu !)"]

So after getting some cash and buying some food, I dived into the dungeon with great enthusiasm. That was to test the performance of my new suit of armor, the Bug King Suit.

The reflection in the mirror I brought from my room to the front room of the dungeon is a real bug man.

I look like a bug knight. Whether this is considered cool or disgusting is a matter of opinion that varies from person to person. Of course, I, the creator, think it's extremely cool.

["I think it's cool. Kyuma!"]

When I quickly unleashed my left and right fists, I heard a strange sound.

But I guess that's just part of the flavor. I love the "beep, beep" sound effect of giant robots when they walk. I may come to like this sound, too.

Okay, let's start with the armor test.

I provoked a slime to attack me on the first floor. The slime twists around me and tries to break me down by generating acid. But there's no way the slime's acid will erode the outer shell of the Bug King, which is unaffected by my [Strong Acid] skill.

"Fu, it's warm"

I plunge my hand into the entangling slime and gnash its core. It's not hot, cold, or warm, but I wanted to play the strongman, so please let it slide.

Next is the second floor. Giant cockroaches gathered here, and when they saw me, they fell to their knees.

They are cockroaches, so they are originally crawling, but all the litter that had gathered turned to face me and stopped moving.

And then there was silence.

(Oh, so this is the authority of the king of bugs.)

The effect was that the cockroaches worshipped me. And when I gave the test a single call to disperse, the cockroaches dispersed in a wisp of smoke. If I say it's great, and if I say it's mediocre, it's mediocre. Well, I got it by accident, so it doesn't matter.

I got into a brawl with a sick rat on the third floor,

"Kuh! (Bokka) Son of a bitch! (gusha)"

The sick rats attacked one after another, faster than my annihilation speed.

After all, without the acid skill, I wouldn't have been able to conquer the third floor. There are too many of them! Chee! and their cloudy eyes, which I couldn't understand what they were looking at, were creepy. I couldn't handle them all, so I sprayed them with acid rain and exterminated them.

"Phew Acid Rain."

["(Zaaaah)"]

I used the acid rain to wash away the returned blood bathed from the sick rats, washing away the suit and sterilizing and disinfecting it.

The Bug King Suit does not dissolve in acid, and the helmet has a spare filter for a gas mask inside, so there is no need to worry about inhaling the acid. But I need to be very careful about hygiene.

I passed through the fourth floor without incident.

I had enough agility to quickly pass by the giant slug before it moved into attack position. I also didn't want to get into a scuffle with the slug.

Then I descended to the fifth floor.

Again, the cockroaches kneeled to me, but I didn't care, I just mapped the area and looked for the king cockroach. I wanted to see how the king cockroach would react if it see me in my current form, but even after I had finished mapping, I couldn't find a single king cockroach.

"Hmmm so was the king cockroach just one boss monster?"

Does it respawn or not? I will have to wait a little more time to find out.nove(l)bi(n.)com

And since I had descended to the fifth floor and had plenty of time to spare, I decided to go further down to the sixth floor.
