61: Chapter 61 Dungeon Settlement

The next day, everyone slept in late. A night of fighting and an all-night drinking spree caused the Adventurers Guild's doors to open two hours late.

“We’re getting promoted, so at least give us a Bronze rank, right?” Tuaner hugged the Guild Receptionist, swaying back and forth, using all her charming skills.

“Uh, it’s already been reported, and we’re waiting for a reply!” The Guild Receptionist was flustered, her face as red as an apple. Who knows what Tuaner did in private?

“Ah, a magic message from headquarters,” the Guild Receptionist opened a box that looked like a mailbox. It was filled with magic, slowly coalescing into a letter.

“Congratulations to you all, you have once again been exceptionally promoted to Bronze Adventurers,” the Guild Receptionist said happily to Tuaner after reading the letter.

After completing the procedures to change their nameplates, the system's notification arrived.

“All current stage missions have been completed. Do you wish to return to the Paradise Lost space?”

After discussing it, the three came to an unoccupied corner and, transforming into starlight, dissipated from the instance dungeon world.

—Paradise Lost, Settlement Space:

Their experiences in the Goblin Slayer instance dungeon were being evaluated by Paradise Lost like a revolving lantern.

Ryan Nephalem rubbed his hands. “We hit the jackpot! The biggest benefit of a pseudo-promotion battle is the ability to break through level and attribute barriers. We can break through the Lv10 level and attribute suppression in advance.”
