How Did You Get So Many Drop Items?

Chapter 17 - How Did You Get So Many Drop Items?

"Spatial magic can store things!? If Loki-sama knew, she would definitely be excited."

Eina could almost picture Loki's excitement.

After all, everyone in Orario knew that Loki Familia's expeditions faced limitations because they couldn't carry too many supplies.

With just one member possessing magic capable of storing things, the Loki Familia could easily reach deeper floors.

'Unfortunately, Bell-kun didn't join the Loki Familia. If his abilities stayed the same after joining them, Loki-sama might indeed go crazy with excitement.'

However, Eina quickly composed herself.

"Bell-kun, you should keep it a secret."

"You should go back to your familia, sell the magic stones in less amount, and then do the same vice-versa. Otherwise, won't you risk exposing yourself?"

Bell knew this, but he really couldn't do it.

Exposing himself to one person rather than everyone was a choice Bell knew how to handle.

"Eina-san, what I want to sell isn't just magic stones. I wouldn't need to expose my powers if it were only magic stones."

Not just magic stones?

Eina couldn't react immediately.

Drop items?

But she knew that the probability of items dropping from monsters was very low.

Why would he need to expose his special magic for just one or two drop items?

Just as Eina was trying to understand, Bell moved.

With a snap of his fingers, countless weapon sounds filled the room, and countless drop items appeared.

This lasted for a while, almost filling the entire room.

Bell sighed deeply. He didn't know if he was lucky or not, but every goblin he killed dropped a magic stone and a short fang.

While the magic stone was a normal drop from goblins, the fang was not.

Because of this, Bell chose to reveal one of his secrets.

It wasn't that he didn't want to hide it; there were just too many goblin fangs.

Selling them would attract unwanted attention, and being targeted at this early stage was too risky.

So Bell revealed his cards to the safest person he could think of.

"So many!?"

Eina was bewildered by the pile of drop items.

With a stiff face, she turned to look at Bell and pointed to the pile of drop items on the ground.

"Bell-kun, are these... are they all drop items?"

Bell nodded helplessly and embarrassedly.

After confirming this, Eina's face twitched.

What was with this amount of drops?

Even a big familia like the Loki Familia couldn't get so many drops in one expedition. This amount was several times what the guild received daily.

Eina picked up the drop item and examined it. Then she quickly realized the origin of these drop items.

She raised her head sharply and looked at Bell, knowing it had come from goblins.

But why were there so many rare drop items?

Goblins are not difficult monsters to kill in the dungeon and are among the easiest to handle.

Because of their ease, goblin drops are very rare—so rare that maybe only ten goblin fangs would appear in the guild in a year or two.

But here, there were at least hundreds of goblin fangs, reaching a quantity the guild would only see in decades.

If someone had told Eina before that anyone could get so many goblin fangs, she wouldn't have believed it.

It seemed impossible for anyone to have such luck.

"Bell-kun, how many goblins did you kill today?"

Bell reluctantly pointed to the drop items around him and then gave a number.

"284 in total."

Just this amount was too much. The first floor of the dungeon doesn't spawn so many goblins.

Most of the time, monsters spawn at fixed intervals.

According to the spawn rate, goblins only appear three times a day, with each spawn totaling a dozen or so.

So how did the number 284 come about?

Eina took a deep breath and looked at Bell, asking solemnly.

"Bell-kun, did you encounter a Monster Party in the dungeon?"

"...Miss Eina, do you think there's such a thing as a Monster Party on the first floor?"

A Monster Party, a situation unique to dungeons, means a large number of monsters spawn on the same floor.

However, this phenomenon often occurs below the third floor, not the first.

Facts and experience have proved that a Monster Party doesn't happen on the first floor, otherwise, the entrance to the dungeon would have been overrun long ago.

Eina also realized she was wrong; there shouldn't be a Monster Party on the first floor.

Moreover, even if it were a Monster Party, it wouldn't produce 284 monsters.

That number couldn't appear all at once; even Level 2 adventurers couldn't resist an attack from so many goblins.

"So, how did Bell-kun encounter such a large number of goblins?"

Bell hadn't thought about this issue deeply.

Although he felt the amount of experience from the goblins was a bit much, such a quantity didn't appear all at once.

Looking back, it seemed that after he killed one horde, another appeared after a while.

"I don't quite understand it myself. Almost after I killed four or five goblins, the next horde of goblins would appear after some time."

Eina looked at Bell carefully. This pattern and the number of goblins all seemed to point to Bell as the reason.

Whether it was the intervals between goblin appearances or number of goblins, they all seemed to cater to Bell's state.

Eina didn't know if her conclusion was correct.

This bizarre occurrence was unprecedented.

Until now, this was the first time such a strange thing had happened.
