Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 21.2

As a side note, in the game, it could only be used on humanoid monsters, but using [Steal] as a money-making method was highly efficient.

Well, I don’t intend to misuse this, and I knew that guy bumped into me on purpose, so this was just payback.

The wallet contained exactly ten silver coins.

On the west side of the grand city of Emblam, there’s a temple that looks like something out of Greek mythology. Its architecture clearly stands out from the surrounding buildings, not built by human hands.

Inside, a wide corridor stretches out, with tables and chairs that don’t match the temple’s ambiance. However, no one is using them.

Walking straight ahead, a huge, crystal-clear blue crystal floats in midair.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen this… the [Teleportation Device]!

The crystal emits a faint blue light that illuminates its surroundings, casting a blue hue on the white floor around it.

I slowly walked onto the blue-lit floor.

Do you want to enter the dungeon? (Y/N)

This is just like in the game.

The only difference is that [Name] is my actual name instead of a [Player Name].

Choosing Y, the floor beneath me rippled like water, and I smoothly sank into it.

A gentle sensation enveloped me, as if I were underwater.

It felt like being in my mother’s womb, a comforting sensation.

Hmm…? This feeling is remarkably similar. I can even breathe normally.

As I enjoyed this calm moment, I found myself suddenly standing in a cave with the smell of earth.

There are numerous dungeons in this world. Although the cave scenery is generally the same, the air and wall colors change, becoming darker as the difficulty increases.

The hardest dungeons are so dark you can’t see ahead, requiring light sources, but that’s a story for another time.

Each dungeon has a distinctive feature.

In this Emblam Dungeon, the feature is the Minotaur species, known as the bull giants.

To prove it, I spotted a two-meter-tall beast with a bull’s face standing on two legs in the passage ahead.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a dungeon! I haven’t left the village in ten years!

I could hear my heart pounding with excitement.

“Skill [Shadow Movement]”

Thanks to my increased proficiency with [Walker of the Night], my speed during [Shadow Movement] improved, making close-range combat easier.

I closed the distance quickly, moved behind the Minotaur, and summoned the Black Scythe, slashing upward.

The Minotaur split cleanly in two as if cutting through tofu, and its body disintegrated into black particles. A small purple gem fell to the ground.

Wow! Minotaur experience is amazing!

This is twenty times better than the Rock Lizards near the village!

One of the dungeon’s advantages is that the monsters are stronger than those outside, providing better experience efficiency. Plus, the monsters respawn consistently, allowing for abundant hunting.

Another benefit is the gems dropped by monsters.

These are [Magic Stones], left behind when dungeon monsters die instead of their corpses.

Magic Stones are in high demand as they power magic devices.

For the past three years, I prioritized time with my younger siblings over hunting, so I barely leveled up. But now, it’s time! I’ll spend all my free time leveling up!

I hunted Minotaurs on the first floor until sunset.
