Preparations for the Third Dungeon Battle

Rokuko's Five 10,000 DP Gacha Pulls

Day two of making the dungeon. I decided to have Rokuko spin the gacha.

Depending on what we get, it might significantly change the dungeon's composition.

"Alright, I'll start with the 10,000 DP gacha then."

"Yeah. I'm counting on you."

Of the 500,000 DP, I'm thinking of having her use 200,000 on spins. First, five 10,000 DP gacha pulls, then 150 pulls of the 1,000 DP gacha.

"Come to think of it, Kehma-san was summoned from the 1,000 DP gacha, wasn't he?"

"Yes, that's right."

Haku-san smiled and said, "So what's about to come from the gacha is worth ten Kehma-sans."

We already did that bit with the phoenix egg.

"Gacha is inefficient. You don't know what will come out, so summoning from the Catalog where the contents are clear… is what the overwhelming majority of cores do. In reality, winning is extremely rare. Usually it's better to just exchange DP directly."

"Huh? But I heard Haku-san summoned a dragon from the gacha."

"Yes, that was when I was verifying things because I had excess DP. I pulled the 1,000 DP gacha 10,000 times, and one infant White Dragon appeared. Everything else was a miss."

She used 10,000,000 DP and only got one win… That's a 0.01% rate.

Hm? Wait a second. For Rokuko's luck to consistently return more than she puts in, what in the world… no, let's not think about it.

"I believe in Rokuko's luck!"

"I've been believed in! Here I go then… Hah!"

Vwoom—a giant magic formation about 10 meters in diameter spread out.

Is it about the same as when she won the phoenix egg from the 10,000 DP gacha before? Though it extended outside the room that time.

"… A winning animation right from the start."

"So that's what this means?"

Come to think of it, the magic formation was pretty small when I spun the gacha.

Then the magic formation rotated while shrinking down to about 2 meters in diameter—

And transparent tentacles gushed out, revealing its full form.

A Tentacle Slime appeared!

"Uwah, what is this thing… wait, we saw something like this a bit ago. That one was about twice as big though."

"A Tentacle Slime… its compatibility with this dungeon is good. Ah, the one you saw at the arena before was a Big Tentacle Slime, Rokuko-chan. It's the evolved form of this one."

"Hmm, so we got the smaller one."

It's worth 80,000 DP equivalent. I couldn't help but smile at this immediate huge profit.

As expected of Rokuko. Alright, let's have her spin the second 10,000 DP gacha.

"Oh? It's small."

"That's a miss. Well, it happens often."

What? The magic formation was only about 1 meter. What happened, Rokuko?!

Then, an octopus popped out of the magic formation. A round head with eight deformed legs. For some reason, it was wearing a headband. A cartoonish octopus.

… It is an octopus, right? It's not going to turn out to be a Dagon…?

"That's a Toon Octopus. It's popular as a pet because of its cute appearance, but it's weak as a monster."

"Mumu, is that so?"

It's 500 DP in the Catalog, but apparently it sometimes sells for several dozen silver coins.

… Maybe I should have Haku-san's connections sell it?

"Ah, but it can use a smokescreen underwater. It's a peculiar smokescreen that only lasts several dozen seconds and turns the area completely dark. Also, attacks mysteriously never deal fatal blows to it, it survives various attacks without dying, and even if it gets seriously injured, it completely recovers within about a week."

What is that, some kind of gag protection? Is it because it's a toon?

An attack-deficient thing like that would get along well with Rei.

And now for the next 10,000 DP gacha.

Rokuko's legendary luck activated again, and a large magic formation appeared with a vwoom.

"Another winning animation… Rokuko-chan, you really are lucky."

"Fufu, of course, Haku-neesama. Noow, what will come out?"

This time, the magic formation shrank down to about 1 meter. And then, with a clunk, a barrel appeared.

… A barrel…? What is this?

"… That's not a monster, it's an item."

Come to think of it, we got a [Cooking] skill scroll before too.

"An item? What kind?"

"Alcohol. This appears to be an extremely aged vintage wine… It would be a waste to lose it, so I'll keep it safe for now."

Haku-san cheerfully stored the barrel in her [Storage]. Um, that came from our DP though…? Well, whatever.

Fourth pull. An especially large magic formation appeared. Another win, huh?

Wait, isn't this one about 15 meters in radius?

"Oh, looks like something amazing's coming."

"… A jackpot animation, perhaps? This is my first time seeing one."

Then, as the magic formation shrank down tiny, a palm-sized glowing orb rolled out.

"… This is some kind of skill orb. It's like a scroll, but you don't know what skill it has until you use it… Well, normally we know what they are because we buy them with DP from the Catalog."

"Heh. There's stuff like that? Kehma, try using it."

"Me? Even if it's a combat skill, I'm not going to the front lines. Is that okay?"

"Ah, it's fine. Unlike scrolls, skill orbs can be used multiple times."

When I looked at the DP Catalog, skill orbs weren't listed. According to Haku-san, it's probably because I haven't bought many skill scrolls. True, I haven't used many.

By the way, the basic DP rate is 100 times that of a scroll. And yet it breaks after about 10 uses—an incredibly DP-inefficient item. No wonder no one uses them and they don't circulate in society.

At any rate, I decided to try using it.

The method is the same as a scroll—just pour magic power into it.

Since it came from a jackpot animation, I poured in magic power with high expectations.

In response to my magic power, the orb's glow intensified with a keen sound, and a magic formation entered my head.

"Whoa, t-this is… what a useless skill!"

"What kind of skill is it?"

The skill I learned… was [Faint Resistance Lv9].

The effect… resistance to skills, drugs, and other effects that cause loss of consciousness, making it possible to stay conscious even in environments where you would normally faint… Moreover, [Sleep] is apparently included in the category of [Fainting], so I have resistance to that too. And with it being Lv9, I could apparently go without sleep for about a month.

"Hmm. Dungeon Cores don't need something like that."

"Oh, but it's quite a useful skill for adventurers and Dungeon Masters. Not fainting means you can keep operating. For a Dungeon Master, not falling asleep during a Dungeon Battle reduces the times you become inactive… Now you can work without sleeping, Kehma-san."

"Please, spare me…"

By the way, it's a passive skill that's always active.

What's so great about having to cut down on sleep? Is this punishment for working too much and neglecting sleep lately? Oh God of Sleep, please have mercy on me!

"Oh, Kehma, look look. The last 10,000 DP gacha was a miss, but [Super Strong Sleeping Medicine] came out! It's an incense type!"

"Ooh… but I can somehow tell. It probably won't work on me now…!"

God of Sleep, are you making fun of this pitiful lamb?!

This teased lamb will have sheep doing lateral shuffles when counting them!

"Kehma, can't you switch faint resistance on and off?"

"Ah, I can… I'm saved… Thank you, Rokuko. You saved me."

"Oh, good for you. Many passive skills can't be toggled."

Thank goodness. Let me thank the God of Sleep. Don't know if they exist though.

Seriously, I'm keeping such a dangerous skill turned OFF! It's a matter of life and death here.
