Awakening to a Special-Grade Explorer
Vol. 4 - Ch. 130 - 130

The highest floor Tenji had reached was the 67th floor.

It was a pretty simple reason; that floor was the place where dominion of first grade monsters, who were still a tough nut for Tenji to crack, reigned supreme. He had ventured into them to confirm with his own eyes, and the map that President Limey had created also provided the same information.

Speaking of monsters, floor 50 to 59 was the home for third grade monsters in Mallorca dungeon, with second grade monsters appearing seldomly. Their number increases to some extent between floor 60 to 66, thus increasing the odds of encountering them.

This was why floor 60 was seen as the litmus test for explorers in this country. First grade or above explorers were recommended to challenge it alone, while second grade explorers were endorsed to form a party.

Floor 60 and onwards were something Tenji could advance to, but he had to admit that his exploration speed had sharply dropped here. And then, floor after the 67th was something impossible for even the Tenji that time given that he had a lot on his shoulder. In fact, he had already felt the challenge around the 65th floor, but still pushed forward himself till the 67th floor.

But, the situation might be different this time. As long as he levelled up two more times, he should be able to match Fuyuki, who was renowned for his combat experience, prowess as a first grade explorer. After almost tiring him out of his question, Tenji had estimated that the average status of a first grade explorer lies around 7000.

"Since I am more or less sure, I guess I should start with my preparation. I also want to catch up to Fuyuki-kun's floor, and I bet he must have been waiting for me as well."

The highest floor Fuyuki had reached was 71. Though, the floor afterward was something even he found difficult to explore on his own and seemed to be looking to form a team. In short, Fuyuki was impatiently waiting for Tenji to quickly arrive at his level.

Tenji, too, firmly resolved to do his best and met his expectations.

After rounding up his night routine, he brushed his teeth and crawled his way into his fluffy futon to call it a day.

It had been five days since Tenji resolved to work hard.

The town had already transitioned into the year-end atmosphere, with a sense of melancholy lingering in the air.

For Tenji and Chisato, it was the first time they were bidding farewell to the year amidst the humidness of midsummer rather than the chill of winter.

On the other side, Tenji continued to amass the experience points at a staggering rate, and just two days ao, he had reached Level 6. Most of the experience points were from the hell beasts roaming around the 62th floor's inhabited precipice area, with him occasionally joining in the fray and raising the hunting efficiency.

Through the combination of both, Tenji had now reached Level 6 from level 5 with not even 10 days passed. He also succeeded in clearing new hell quests in these two days, and acquired new weapons and equipment.
