Chapter 540 The Aftermath Of The Dungeon Break And An Unexpected Discovery

It took at least 3 days before the Dungeon break was controlled and the monsters that already invaded were killed. It was just a short time compared to the past timeline where it lasted for a week before the situation returned to normal. It was short but that might be the result of me making a business of making a potion and releasing explosive items for them to use which hastens the reclamation process. I heard that some players heard of my actions and decided to imitate what I did and since I didn't appear again on the second day, they already gained a profit as they will be the ones who will dominate the market.

I also heard that the items they made are inferior compared to my items as my items are much better in quality compared to them so perhaps they are less popular than mine but they still made a profit so it's not much for me.

After class, I heard from some of my classmates who play Alternate World that the restoration process is happening but things are not that easy as most of the players are having a hard time on where they should sell the items. As much as they wanted to earn money by selling the monster parts and some other items that were dropped by monsters, all the stores were wrecked to the point of making it big of a wreck that the NPCs who are supposed to be running the stores and the ones who buys and sells items, are all out of money as they focus more on repairing their destroyed stores rather than to buy items from players, causing outrage from many players who don't understand the situation while some applauded the developers for having the situation very realistic to the point that it is annoying.

Sure enough, the market has been forced into a big decline but it will recover again in a few days but it will take time. It is a big downside at first but there is another pro to this. The NPCs are more likely to give quests right now especially if they needed items to repair their stores, homes, and other buildings that got destroyed by the monsters, therefore, it is not just a bad thing, it was also a good way to earn additional experience and various rewards.

As for me, I accompanied Lily back to her tavern and as expected, it was trampled badly and there is barely anything worthwhile to take here. It's just a big wreck.

"So how much materials and gold are needed to properly repair the store? Don't worry if it will be big, just tell me and you know what? Let's also upgrade and renovate the tavern too."

"No, no. Sir Bladeheart. You are already helping my daughter a lot, you don't need to bother too much with my store, to be honest. Just having this repaired is enough for me."

"No, I insist. I would feel bad if my first follower's mother will suffer quite a big hardship after the situation of the dungeon break. So how much will it cost? What items do you need to repair this place?"

"Let's see. There are a few kinds of stuff that I needed like the Oakwood lumber which costs a lot of gold to order. There are also a few kinds of stuff here and there like nails and paint, concrete and cement mix too will also be necessary which means it will make this costs 200,000 gold without adding some of the expenses like labor work as that is also a separate fee. But yeah, this is just an initial calculation on my part. Of course, this could be either the final price or it will be reduced, depending on the circumstances."

"Looks like it's not that expensive. Alright. Start calling your acquaintances and workers to begin the work. Don't worry about the amount of gold for expenses. I can pay them so let's get right into it."

"Are you sure? This is pretty much expensive and I don't think you needed to pay that much just for you to repair a store that is not yours."

"No worries. You can say this is a repayment for having a wonderful daughter who is capable of being a strong maid I can rely on and trust my back on."

In the end, Lily decided to give up on my nagging about paying and started to contact the people needed to start the construction work. She also started to also buy materials and I just followed her around as she started to finish up all of her orders. But she eventually managed to deal with all of the orders and the construction started.

I logged out from the game after that. Morning in the real world has finally arrived and it is currently school day today which means I am going to be stuck at school again, waiting for a new situation to kick in. As much as I remember, there are no other things that should be happening right now.

Since I was a bit in the mood to do a morning jog towards school, instead of riding my motorcycle, I decided to do brisk walking instead. I asked the siblings but they declined. I also asked Janus but he also declined. As much as Rika wanted to join me, she is not a student and she is still at a big risk of being found by her bodyguards, so she still has no other way to go out safely without me escorting her.

In the end, I have to go alone and do it by myself. That is the only thing I can do as no one else will. If Riko lived together with us, she would be the one who would be really willing to join in. It's been a while since I did brisk walking as I usually use my motorcycle just to go to school so walking as I go to school is a big change of pace.

It was an uneventful day, it was still too early and I barely see anyone else around me walking around either... Even cars passing by are very rare to see. Perfect time to do what I want before the streets get crowded.

Just as I was enjoying my brisk walk and enjoying the scenery in the early morning, I heard a peculiar sound nearby. It was very peculiar to the point that I decided to stop to listen to it. At first, there was nothing for me to listen to but it took a bit of time before I realized something happened.

At first, there was nothing so I thought it was just a fluke I heard something and perhaps it was just a noise coming from somewhere that I have mistaken for something else. But soon I realized that wasn't the case as the sound was repeated once again. Since this time I listened a lot more carefully compared to before, and I heard what that sound was.

It was a girl's voice. It sounded like a moan but I can also hear the sound of struggling and suffering from the grunts she makes. It's not a girl doing lewd things with someone else. I may not have experienced that stuff just yet but hey, I also know when is the right time to know about this. The sound of grunting is more obvious now and since she is grunting, there are times I can hear a moan which means something has happened and causing her to sound like that.

Since it was still pretty early, I decided to look for the sound and it didn't take me long to find it. However, finding it wasn't even part of the situation and not part of my calculation for this day.

The voice was soon heard in enough nearby alleyway. I have been there before in the past timeline which is why I know the place like the back of my hand. As soon as I reach a little bit deeper into the area, I soon discovered found the source of the sound.

Just as I expected, it was indeed the voice of a girl. But I didn't expect this kind of girl to be here out of all places especially since this was the real world.

Before I am a naked lady, without any clothes on her. Of course, her body was attractive but I am not easily infatuated by any naked lady. Therefore, I was not flustered when I saw her, but I was shocked when I realized that something is very wrong especially for her in this world.

This is not a game, this is the real world. My teammates are the same people instead of having the look on their faces but this is something I didn't expect to see.

The naked woman who is grunting and moaning in pain since earlier is none other than an Elf. The same elf you can find in games.

But one question, Why is there an elf in the real world?
