314. Party drop




I didn't realize that's what you were doing.

 Plumbum Dungeon, Plumbum's Room.

 While I was involved in the Tennesin one, I kept my word and visited her every morning.

 Unlike Tenesin, this one is honestly happy and welcoming when I come.
 There are no cryptic phrases, so we can chat more easily.

 Today's topic of conversation became Tenesin, which I've been spending a lot of time talking about lately.
 As I began to see a break in the Tenesin case, I casually told Prumbum.

'A lot of people, no, spirits too. Everyone has helped me.
You are a man of virtue. If it weren't for you, people wouldn't have moved that far. I can leave this place if I am asked. ......

 Fumbling plumbum.
 I feel like a maiden.

Thank you. I may ask for your help if the next time the situation arises...
You are in charge! Your request is a good request.

 Paah, and Purrumbum with a smile on his face.
 I was glad of that trust.

'But, nihonium kae.
'She was instrumental in the latter part of the construction. Come to think of it, you guys can control the Dungeon Master at will, right?
Exactly. Most monsters don't have much of a range to control, but when you're a dungeon master, you're right.
Is that how it works?
The evil of simplicity, I suppose you could say.
Oh, I see.

 Whether it's normal monsters, rare monsters, or dungeon masters, surely the spirits can manipulate them all perfectly.
 But because of its simple structure, there's not much a normal monster can do to manipulate it.

''Does it take something special, something extraordinarily powerful, to manipulate it?
There is no such thing. They are just like arms and legs. And you can do whatever you want within reason.
Reason?
Hmm. For example, I can make it so that right now, you can have two or more people in the same drop to make the drop.
...... Hmmm... if you're A, you're talking about A-to-A and B-to-B parties only dropping.
Hmm. Then you won't be able to do it because you won't drop it no matter what.
Yeah.

 .......
 .............
 ...................

 I think I had an inspiration.
 Something that just popped up in my head for a moment.
 I try to tug at it.

 Sometimes when I act on an idea, I can remember it easily with its strings attached.
 I acted the moment I heard the story - I stared straight at Plumbum, staring at him.

'...... Pop!'

 I remembered that the moment Plumbum's cheeks colored and he looked down in embarrassment.

 This is ...... my good idea!

Thank you!

 To his delight, he involuntarily grabbed Prumbum's shoulder and looked at her from an even closer distance.

'Oh, .......'

 Plumbum's eyes trolled as he was impressed.

Raid boss?

 Tenesin's room.
 I came in and just let my excitement take over.

I'm sorry, but there are things you can't understand if you just use our terminology. You know: ......

 Raid Boss.
 I chewed up the meaning of it and left out any explanations or examples along the way.

 I explained the core of it to Tennysin.

"Can we pretend that the more people who attacked the monster, the more drops it got?
The more the merrier?
Yes.
You know what, more people are going to come to the dungeon if you do that. ............

 Tennysin is surprised when he snaps his eyes out of his head on the way out.

 That's what I came up with.
 There was a system like this in an MMO I played when I was a student.

 When you beat a monster with a party of four people, you would get five times as many drops as if you had beaten it solo.

 Up to 4 times the number of players, there's no advantage to this system since the share per player is the same even if you divide it by the number of players, but if it's more than 5 times the number of players, it's a different story.

 That experience led to this advice.

 Tennesin's surprise is proof that the proposal itself is possible and that he thinks well of it.

'Hmph! If we do that, the humans will just get more and more annoying!

 This reaction is also the usual Tennysin.

"I wouldn't do that. I'm very disappointed in you, so get the hell out!

 When Tennesin kicked me out, I was convinced that he did exactly that, he kicked me out for the sake of doing it.


 This evening.
 I tested it in Tennesin after the construction was finished and I was able to confirm that the drop would increase in proportion to the number of people as soon as possible.
