I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 307 Iminent danger (2)

Eventually, Kate and Natalie convinced Billy that he needed to return to work. Even working just a few hours per day was fine. They were being lenient since he spent the last two months doing nothing. That wasn\'t completely true. While he only used his mana to increase his level, he also did some research about other guys like him. However, there was no sign of them between the states that he had been or had heard off. Besides, it was rare for something like information to cross so many states in times like those. Even if it did, the information would end up becoming rather dubious. Again, he reminded himself that he needed to improve his information network, he didn\'t know what, though.

"I suppose for today, I should be digging the tunnel that will connect my home to my hometown," Billy thought. "Then tomorrow I will visit Gustav again."

In the meantime, Billy also had to find a way to get information from a very far away without losing accuracy. Since he was making those pills now, perhaps he should use some special merchants to gather Intel for him, but that would take too much time, and the words merchant and trustworthy don\'t mix well.

In the last few months, Billy also made some modifications to his magic cart. The people had to enter using the doors, and moving around became more pleasant since the tires now were made of very sturdy monster leather. Billy couldn\'t find anything that resembled petroleum, and he had no idea how to make plastic, much fewer things like tires of cars.

"The speed didn\'t decrease since I added some things, and changed others for lighter ones…" Billy thought. "Instead of using spies, I could always move around with this and gather Intel myself."

Billy didn\'t want to do that, though. Since it would make him leave him home for days. Billy wondered if he should try to make something like a magic chopper as well. While he could fly using Telekinesis and he could store mana in his body, he couldn\'t move faster than his cart. He would need to increase his magic by five times to reach that level…

In any case, Billy recalled that he wanted to clear the fourth dungeon of that state. Six years had passed since its discovery, and the best adventurers only reached the eighth floor… While he wanted that source of income for himself, he wondered if he should wait for his friends to go with them.

"The dungeon wasn\'t cleared in six years, I suppose it can wait for a while longer," Billy thought. "Considering that it has ten floors, it will be a challenge, even for me alone, but since all the others have their work instructing people, then perhaps I should prepare for it."

Billy decided to do that only once the tunnel that would connect his old home with the new one was completed. Still, then he realized that there was a river between them, and that was troublesome… Regardless, it seemed that such a thing won\'t take too long since, with the magic he accumulated in a single point, Billy managed to open one kilometer on his first day of work. Based on his calculations, he could obtain that much mana in a single hour inside Gustav\'s dungeon, so he would be able to dig more than two kilometers every day… in the worst-case scenario, it will only take two months before the tunnel is finished. That was Billy\'s plan at first, but then Jean suddenly paid a visit, and he looked troubled.

"My apologies for bothering you at such an important moment of your life," Jean said.

"It is fine, in any case, did something happen?" Billy asked.

"You remember the fourth dungeon of this country, don\'t you?" Jean asked.

"Yeah, I was thinking about it recently, why?" Billy asked again.

"We have failed for almost seven years in conquering it, and it seems we took too much time in doing that," Jean said. "Naturally, we lost many adventurers in the wars, so that played an important factor as well. Still, thanks to that, the monsters are starting to leave it. Recently, a large group managed to escape and killed many of the people that worked there. Even some of those who survived decided to leave."

"So, you want me to clear it?" Billy asked. "You know that I can\'t leave home for too long, right?" Billy asked.

"Yes, that is why I am asking to help decrease the population of monsters a little every day," Jean said. "Since it is you, I am sure that will buy enough time for the others to conquer it and to prevent problems like this from happening again."

"What about the other guild masters?" Billy asked.

"Gustav and Gerald are too busy with their own dungeons, Marie is travelling around and she is apparently heading to Neles state right now," Jean replied. "Things on the dungeon in your territory are a bit complicated since new Adventurers are joining that guild."

That was a pain. Billy didn\'t even start the tunnel toward that dungeon, so he would have to travel above ground. He didn\'t want to show his magic cart since a lot of nobles would bother him to make one of those for them. He could always hide it somewhere before reaching the area, but… Billy didn\'t want to stay away too much from his kids.

"I won\'t stay for long there, so I won\'t promise anything," Billy said.

"You have my thanks," Jean said.

In the end, Billy owed Jean one for changing that massive gold rock for actual coins, and since he didn\'t like to owe things for too long, it was better to repay the favor as soon as possible. Nevertheless, the difficulty level was high, so it was an excellent chance to get stronger faster. Billy just had to convince his wives that he didn\'t have to work for too long…
