599 599. System update




 In the evening, I caught up with Celeste when she came home and we talked in the salon.

 I explained to her first that I wanted to make the Satnium (temporary) drop items into something that would make the other dungeons' attacks more effective.

That's great ....... If it's true, we'll have adventurers coming from all over the world.
Yeah.

 I nodded deeply.
 The fact that adventurers come from all over the world means that the demand is that much higher.
 If the demand is high and the items can be distributed to the adventurers, that's the best way to go.

''That's why I need a little help from Celeste.
Me? Is there anything I can do to help you, Lyota?
Celeste has the deepest knowledge of dungeons and monsters in our house.

 Not so much at first, but after she became a companion, she increased her knowledge of dungeons as well as magic at a tremendous rate.
 Nowadays, she's lightly on the level of a library - no, she's extremely knowledgeable, like a walking Ukipedea.

''I thought Celeste would be able to figure out, 'This kind of thing will help me with my strategy.'
Oh, yeah, I see.

 Celeste nodded quietly.

'If that's what you mean, I'll be happy to help.
'Really? Thank you Celeste.

 I was so happy that I couldn't help but take Celeste's hand and buzz it up and down.

I'm sorry to be so quick, but do you have any quick ideas?

 I took out a piece of paper and a pen that I had prepared beforehand and asked Celeste with a bite.

'First of all, after all, the status of the drop.
Drop status?
Let's say, for example, that plants and animals are both about a C and everything else is an F, right?
Yeah.
That person would naturally go to a plant or animal dungeon.
Well, you will.
'But most of the time there's only one drop status required for one dungeon, or rather one floor. So that moment any adventurer is going through a dungeon, that moment you're going through a dungeon, you're letting some drop status ...... yes, you're letting it play.
I see.

 I know exactly what Celeste means.

I'm thinking, "So - if I could pull the extra status to the one I need, I'd love to be able to do that .......
'Okay, I'll give it a try! Is there anything else?
'It would be helpful to be able to see the monster's HP. Often times, I'll have to play it safe and use a big move to make sure I take out a monster that might be dying.
I see. Yeah, that's definitely good to see. What else?
'Do you want to prevent others from taking what you drop? I don't have one, but there are people who get in trouble for it, all too often.
Yeah, that's important, too. I'll see if I can make it. What else?

 I asked for opinion after opinion from Celeste.

 In a way, only Celeste could do that, not me.

 I've also been trying to make my dungeon strategies as technical as possible, not power play.
 Even so, the end result is often a high-stakes - all-SS premise for the strategy.

 In a real sense, I've rarely had trouble with my strategy.

 The only real trouble I've had is the true Nihonium zashiki and raid fights.

 I haven't come up with a solution for the raid fights yet, but I think the Zashido can be solved by some kind of avatar thing that changes the appearance of the monster.

 I haven't come up with much like that, so I've been asking Celeste a lot of questions.

 As expected of the wisdom of the family.
 In the blink of an eye, Celeste has come up with nearly 100 annoying patterns and solutions to them.

The other thing you need to do is to go to ...... and talk to Elsa and Ena and the others about it.
Elsa and Ena?
Yeah, they're opening a shop, aren't they? I think we're going to hear more different, live voices from the adventurers in the field.
'Oh, I see!'

 I thought Celeste was right.
 It's a common practice for those opening stores to pull information from customers.

 The points accumulated by the blue and yellow cards are actually an exchange of points for consumer information.

It's a waste of time not to take advantage of the fact that there are merchants in your ranks.
Yes, I think so.
Okay, well, I'll ask. Thank you Celeste, that was very helpful.
...... You're welcome.

 For some reason, Celeste looked away from me with a tinted cheek.
