The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The two became acquainted naturally because they shared the same surname.

　Despite living thousands of miles apart, the fact that they share the same surname always makes them feel closer to each other than others.

　This time, Bobby was worried that he wouldn't be able to reach the tenth floor during his dungeon adventure, so he asked Simon to be his "guide".

　They had originally planned to quickly pass through the first two levels and start their adventure directly from the third level, but suddenly saw Dark Dimon running past them with his magical sprite, which puzzled them.

　Because Dak's actions were too purposeful!

　"Is that the legendary Dimon?" Simon nudged Bobby on the shoulder and joked.

　Bobby touched his nose and nodded.

　Simon then said meaningfully, "Don't you want to know where he ran off to?"

　Bobby's eyes twitched, and a variety of possibilities immediately surfaced in his fantasy-loving mind.

　Why is Darko Dimon so smart?

　Why is Darko Dimon so amazing?

　Why was Dark Demon able to create so many highly intelligent magical spirits?

　Nobody doesn't want to know.

　Simon, of course, was no exception.

　"Perhaps by following him, we can discover some little secrets?"

　Bobby couldn't help but think this.

　Then, as he looked up slightly, he saw the same thought in Simon's eyes.

　The two hit it off immediately and quickly followed in the direction Dark had run.

　Follow all the way.

　Simon suddenly stopped at the corner, then shushed Bobby, took out a magic card from his card pack, and silently chanted the summoning command.

　A few seconds later, a completely transparent bird flew out from the card and flew towards the corner.

　Simon closed his eyes, sharing the view with "Hidden Sparrow".

　The "hidden bird" became completely invisible during its flight, flying silently.

　A moment later, it turned another corner and came to a sudden stop.

　Simon then saw Dark Dimon's back through its eyes, and...

　"That's... a treasure chest?"

　Simon's breathing suddenly became rapid.

　He's a third-year student now, and he started adventuring in dungeons at the end of his first year of second grade, which has now been a year. But he's only ever actually seen a dungeon treasure chest once!

　Yes, that time, he personally witnessed a girl in the same grade find the treasure chest and take out a pair of extremely high-quality arm armor from it!

　The feeling at that moment was like squeezing the juice from ten fresh lemons and then gulping it down your throat, so sour that you couldn't sleep all night.

　From then on, he would make a point of looking for treasure chests every time he entered the dungeon.

　In the blink of an eye, he finally saw the treasure chest with his own eyes for the second time. Waaah!

　"Paji!"

　Simon's vision suddenly went black, and his eyes widened in shock.

　Bobby quickly asked, "How did it go?"

　Simon grabbed his hand and ran—he didn't know why he was running, but he stopped after running a hundred meters, panting, "Dark Dimon has found the treasure chest!"

　Bobby exclaimed in surprise: "A treasure chest?"

　Simon nodded very solemnly and said, "Yes. And I suspect he knew the location of the treasure chest from the very beginning."

　Bobby exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?"

　Simon's face contorted with sarcasm, but he still said, "Nothing is impossible. Do you know the 'Silver Dragon Girl'?"

　“Uh.” Bobby paused for a moment, then said, “Is it the librarian?”

　Simon gritted his teeth and said, "That's right. Pandora Drogon! She's a legend in the academy. I've heard she can easily find the location of the level boss every time."

　Bobby exclaimed in astonishment, "Is that so?"

　Simon said, "That's exactly it. So, nothing is impossible. Come with me..."

　……

　"Meow?"

　Gatomon watched as the magical power transformed from "Hidden Sparrow" flowed from its fingertips, a hint of doubt appearing in its eyes.

　"Gatomon? What did you find?"

　Dark turned and asked.

　"It seems like there's something there, but it also seems like there isn't."

　Tailmon shook its head and walked towards the location of the treasure chest.

　It didn't see the cloaked "Hidden Sparrow," but merely sensed something there, then pounced and swung its claw, only to catch nothing.

　When Dak saw it return, he continued to examine the treasure chest.

　There is a type of treasure chest in the dungeon that is neither hidden in a secret room nor guarded by a BOSS, but is simply placed in a corner of the maze.

　It is precisely because of the existence of these treasure chests that the Mimic is so difficult to defend against.

　The second treasure chest found in "Greedy Slime II" belongs to this type.

　Of course, it's generally difficult to get top-tier items from this type of treasure chest.

　However, compared to the fun of opening treasure chests, this is nothing at all.

　To paraphrase a certain king of adventurers, adventurers should enjoy the process of opening treasure chests more than focusing too much on the treasures inside.

　As for why the King of Adventurers always publishes his achievements in the newspaper to show off every time he gets a rare item.

　Haha.

　After studying it for a while, Dak got up and stepped back.

　This time, the treasure chest is the standard size, which is also the most common size of the "Mimic Monster".

　The "Mimic Monster" and the "Mimic Chest" have the same external material and no difference in their aura.

　Therefore, before opening the treasure chest, no one knows whether it is a treasure chest or a treasure chest monster.

　Once Dak retreated to Tailmon's side, Leomon bent down and grabbed the lock, preparing to repeat the same trick.

　However, when it twisted hard, it found that it didn't break, and it couldn't help but frown.

　“Use a knife,” Darke advised.

　The lion beast nodded slightly, then drew its ancestral demon sword "Lion King Maru" from its waist and chopped hard at the chain behind the iron lock.

　"Qiang!"

　Amidst the sparks flying, a gap appeared in the iron chain.

　The lion continued to exert force, and with several more strikes, it completely severed the iron chain.

　Then it pried open the treasure chest by pulling on the chain and lock together.

　It's not a "treasure chest monster"!

　Dark immediately went forward to check and discovered that the treasure chest was filled with minerals that looked like diamonds!

　"Magic Diamond?"

　A thought struck Dak, and he immediately took one out to examine it closely.

　The so-called "magic diamond" is a diamond-like mineral rich in magical properties.

　Their most prominent characteristic is their "hardness." When inlaid into weapons or armor, they can significantly increase the hardness of the weapons or armor, making them a coveted material for blacksmiths.

　The box contained magic diamonds of varying sizes, some as small as bullets and others as large as a baby's fist; upon closer inspection, there were nearly twenty of them.

　So many magic diamonds are worth at least tens of thousands of academic credits!

　Compared to the crescent moon pendant obtained previously, this box of magic diamonds may have a higher real-world value.

　But when Dark opened his "Eye of Truth" and carefully examined them, he discovered that in the eyes of the "Gate of Truth," their values ​​were exactly the opposite.

　Even that magic diamond, the size of a baby's fist, couldn't compare to the crescent moon pendant in terms of "value".

　But it's okay, we're all about volume!

　Twenty magic diamonds, even if you pile them up, can still fetch a "high price".

　"This quantity is definitely a bit too much—and this is only the first level!"

　Dak picked out a bag from his backpack, put all the magic diamonds into it, and then lifted it up—it was heavy!

　He was a little worried that if things continued like this, he would acquire so many good things that he wouldn't be able to contain them all...

　In short, after finding the second treasure chest, "Greedy Slime II" degenerated into "Greedy Slime".

　You can't continue searching for treasure chests until the "Greed III" cooldown is over.

　Dark handed the bag full of magic diamonds to Gatomon, then returned the way he came, looking for a side path to the second level.

　He'd lingered long enough on the first floor; it was time for a change of scenery.

　Half an hour later, Dak stood on the steps leading to the second floor.

　He composed himself and then walked up the stairs to the entrance to the second floor.

　Besides the bustling crowd, what comes into view is the magical landmark in the middle of the second-floor "living room"—the toad fountain!

　The dark green toad sculpture tilts its head back and opens its mouth, spewing out an unknown green liquid called "spring water".

　Dark weaved through the crowd and went straight to the Toad Fountain. He used the "Magic Needle" and the "Magic Collector" alternately to complete the collection task on the second level.

　He then rested briefly in this safe area before re-entering the maze.

　The difficulty of the second level of the dungeon is not much different from that of the first level.

　Even with sufficient caution, he cannot be threatened.

　Therefore, after wiping out a group of "little demon dogs", Dark summoned "trash slimes" again.

　As usual, he first used a "Greed II" card to evolve it into a "Trash Slime I", and then used "Treasure Smell" to conduct a range-based search without a target.

　Then use a "Greed III" card to evolve it into "Trash Slime II", and use "Greedy Nature" to perform targeted searches.

　And the search will still begin with "Holy Sword" and then "Treasure Chest".

　Its "treasure-gathering sense" enabled it to collect the rare herbs described in the official quest.

　However, his "greedy nature" led him to find another "treasure chest"!

　"Trash Slime II" also failed to sense the presence of other "Holy Swords" on the second floor, so Dark used a lock he broke off from a treasure chest to trigger "Greed".

　Luckily, the "treasure chest" he found this time was also in the "hidden room." However, after confirming that there was a "treasure chest" nearby, Dark found the entrance to the "hidden room" in a very short time and entered it successfully.

　Inside this "hidden room," there was only a standard-sized treasure chest quietly placed on a stone platform.

　Open the treasure chest, and inside is a bottle of potion.

　The small bottle, about the length of a finger, contained a clear, transparent liquid.

　Because it lacked a label, Dak couldn't determine its type or shelf life, nor could he easily open it to test for poison. However, using his "eye of truth," he found that its value was slightly higher than that of the insect tree and close to that of cat grass.

　Without a doubt, this potion is worth more than the Crescent Moon Pendant and the Magic Diamond according to the Eye of Truth.

　After storing the potion, Dark continued his adventure.

　His blood was already boiling from finding the treasure chest three times in a row.

　An hour later, he found the entrance to the third level of the underground city.

　After walking up a long staircase, we arrived at the reception room on the basement level.

　He suddenly realized that the number of people on this floor was more than half that on the second floor.

　The second-year students and the third-year students who guided their adventures were basically still lingering on the second level.
