CH 292

The hit rate this time from the ‹Perfect Beauty-4 Phenomenon› was sky high.

It was a super duper jackpot worthy of uploading on the forum of the capture site if I had been in Japan.

This would have definitely earned me a good amount of spiteful remarks containing users' jealousy and envy. I'm sure there would have been no less than 50.

Hmm, the rows of those 50's of spiteful remarks should be quite a thrilling site to behold. Fufu.

Just as I was grinning to myself lost in my imagination, Lana, who had reached the limit of her patience, bent forward and pitched.

"Down to earth, Zephyr! What are you doing grinning to yourself, get a grip on yourself! And hurriedly explain what this is?"

Saying that, she pushed the silver key she had gotten from her gold chest towards me.

Now, some may already have a guess in their heart and yes, this is the universal key to open the hidden door we have run in before,

一一It's name is «Universal Key of the Hidden Door (Silver)», or also called as «Silver key of the Door».

It was the upgraded version of the «Universal Key of the Hidden Door (Bronze)» that Lana had drawn before.

There are also hidden doors in the intermediate dungeon but some of them have different kinds of doors that can't be opened by ‹Universal Key of the Hidden Door (Brzone)›. And this key in Lana's hand was precisely an item to use at those times.

That being said, the time to use it only comes from Int-high or above difficulty dungeons. The hidden doors until Int-mid can be opened by ‹Universal Key of the Hidden Door (Bronze)›.

So it's fine until Int-low but any more than that and you will need an upgraded key so it needs to be paid attention. It was an item usually recommended by game's capture site to D-rank guilds to buy ‹Silver Key of the Door› from auction when available.

That being said, it's not a problem for us since the walls could be broken in reality but that's something I promised not to divulge.

"This is the universal key to open the hidden doors. It's mainly used in advanced dungeons."

"Advanced dungeon!?"

Lana raised a freakish voice when I gave a brief explanation about the key. Rika standing behind, too, stared at the key in interest.

"Does Zephyr think there will come a time to use it?"

She was implicitly asking if my goal is to capture an advanced dungeon in that question.

"Why, of course. We're the guild striving for S-rank. I can bet that we will have our chances to use it. Or rather, we will definitely use it!"

Rika's eyes instantly widened when I nodded as if it was just a matter of time.

"It's scary that it might really come true if Zephyr is the one saying that."

"For real! But it's also fun! We will clear the advanced dungeons that even Onii-sama is almost unable to clear away! I'm definitely sure it will feel super cool!"

"Right! It's the same as him announcing to us that let's hurry up to the advanced dungeon."

"Fufu, indeed so."

Unlike earlier, the look in the eyes with which Lana and Rika were staring at the key changed.

That's the spirit. They got a nice look in their eyes. I'm sure we will encounter hidden doors in the advanced dungeon so look forward to that time, you guys!

"Now, time to explain about the Miniature Garden from Rika and Karua's gold chest!"

"‹Dragon's Miniature Garden› was what you called it."

Lana carefully holds the silver key. Then continuing with the next item, it was finally time to talk about today's main star.

Speaking of it, mine and Ester's drops explanation was sort out in just few words. Specially the drop ‹Advanced Job Ascension Ticket› which needn't my further explanation.

"It's quite a big model to be called mini."

"I think it's around 5m big. I'm amazed how it could fit into the treasure chest."

Ester and Rika gave their impression, feeling impressed at its size. Just as they exclaimed, ‹Dragon's Miniature Garden› was huge. In fact, it was the leading figure in size even among the other drops we have gotten so far.

The size of this hexagon base was surpassing 5 meters in shape. It's really mysterious how it even gets fit in something like the treasure chest given its size.

"What's it used for, Zephyr?"

"Wait, I'm explaining. First of all, it's name is ‹Dragon's Miniature Garden›. It was an item that goes hand in hand with ‹Mapper›, ‹Mapping Man› and ‹Scout›. It has functions like ‹Auto-Mapping›, ‹3-D› ‹Real Time Location›, frankly speaking, it is a huge map maker but in 3-D."

If there's an item that can automatically map, what's the harm in having an automatic miniature map producer? It's on the foundation of this concept that they created this 一一 or so said the developers.

"Hmm", instantly, I could hear the disappointed filled sigh from Lana and Karua.

"Well well, not fired up you guys, huh. But fret not, you will realize its true value by trying it."

"How are we going to use it when it's so big!"

Oh, what an apt jab by Lana! Great.

She's getting better at cutting remarks.

That being said, their worry was unfounded.

"Don't worry, it works automatically. So even if you put it into the magic bag, it will automatically make a 3-D figure of the path we have walked so far."

It might be a pain to frequently take it out to check it but the 3-D map that this miniature dish out is actually pretty detailed.

And also, it could be installed on the ‹Carriage›.

"Well, seeing is believing. Let's activate it."

"Woah, the city map changed."

"It turned into a forest."

"That's... Is it referring to this dungeon?"

"That's right."

The chalk cityscape that has been there until now vanished instantly when I activated it and then displayed forest in the central region. It's in the shape of a square.

It was showing the place we were currently in, i.e. the boss room in the final floor and the area around.

"Routes and forests will be gradually registered when we move from this place. Karua, can you go upto the 29th floor and return for a quick try?"

"Hn. Alright."

Karua nodded, used her ‹Extreme Speed› and disappeared towards the 29th floor with super speed. Well she didn't have to make it so quick, but either way, the change was drastic.

"Amazing, forest area is increasing at such a fast speed!"

"It's much faster than I thought."

"Karua isn't here to see it, but it's really amazing."

Lana, Ester and Rika gave their impression in turn.

Karua's speed was basically unmatchable in ‹Eden›, and the area she was covering was increasing at a rapid rate. And when she moved to another floor, another area a step above began to form, apparently she reached the 29th floor.

However, no more area was covered after that as just as I had told her, she must have pulled back after reaching the 29th floor.

Ah, see, she just came back.

"Hn, I'm back."

"Karua, look at it! The area you covered is shown in this miniature!"

"Hn...... Hn, really."

"As you have seen it, it forms a miniature 3-D structure when any of the members cover an area. Amazing, right?"

"It's indeed amazing but considering it has been dropped from a rare boss gold chest, its function is quite subpar."

"Oh, you're sharp, Rika."

Indeed, it just forms a 3-D map as I have told. It's amazing in itself but that's not enough to outshine other items.

And Rika's evaluation was on point.

The worth of ‹Dragon's Miniature Garden› wasn't just that.

Its usage might be limited to ‹Auto-Mapping›, ‹3-D›, ‹Real-time Positioning› and frankly speaking, there were other items that could replicate that.

But as I had said before, it truly shines when used by ‹Mapping Man› etc specialised job holder. They turn such normal functions like 3-D mapping into sublime features.

"When it is coupled with skills like ‹Monster Watching› ‹Human Survey› and ‹Eye of Observation› that it truly turned into ‹Miniature Garden›."

This miniature garden wasn't all about mapping terrains or structures, it can also reflect living creatures and monsters.

一一‹Dragon's Miniature Garden›.

It was an extremely-super-indispensable rare item necessary for the future guild battles.

And the best thing about it was that these skills could be used by ‹Master-Planner Princess› as well.
