Only My Dungeon Equipment Levels Up! (SSS-Rank Weapons)

“Before we start negotiations, could you show us your skills? It’s hard to believe otherwise.”

Mr. Tanaka clasped his hands in front of him and looked at me. He was asking to see my skills before getting into the specifics.

Today’s number of alchemy attempts increased due to the King’s Helmet, so there’s no problem.

“Understood, but without the Knight Series…”

“Hmm, Ai, could you buy about ten of them? You can expense it. If this is real, Mr. Tanaka will purchase them.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Ai then went to the nearby weapon shop to buy the Knight Series. There should be enough stock for about ten pieces.

“Well then, may I talk a bit about our company in the meantime?”

“Yes, please do.”

Mr. Tanaka started explaining the company, using a tablet to present data like a presentation.

“First, our company is not the largest weapon wholesaler in Japan. That would be a company called Sugar Corporation.”

I knew this. It was Satou’s parents’ company. I saw their commercials, signs, and advertisements everywhere. Every time I saw them, I remembered his face and got irritated.

“But our company has grown rapidly in the past few years. Last year’s sales were second in the industry, thanks to the explorers we have contracts with.”

The names of prestigious guilds appeared on the tablet. Among them…

“The Evening Star!? You have a contract with that top guild!?”

“Yes, the leader Ryunosuke is a personal acquaintance, which helped us form the contract. Honestly, this guild’s contribution is significant. The quantity of supplies they provide is unmatched.”

Individual adventurers exchange their dungeon loot for cash at the Dungeon Association, which then supplies it to companies. This was my usual method. However, large guilds directly contract with companies due to their high volume of supplies, making it more profitable.

“We also have contracts with individual blacksmiths and others.”

Blacksmiths combine dropped items from higher dungeon levels to create weapons. As their skill level increases, they can craft higher quality weapons.

“So if you truly have the skill, we would love to contract with you. We would provide corresponding benefits.”

Mr. Tanaka smiled warmly. It was a business smile, but the contrast from his previous strict demeanor was striking. He likely had many admirers.

Time passed quickly as I reviewed the company materials, and a knock was heard.

“I bought them. Ten Knight’s Gauntlets.”

Ai spread the gauntlets on the table.

“Ho ho, this should be interesting. Kenya?”

“Yes!”

I began the alchemy process one by one.

“So this is alchemy…”

(Even just leveling them up is enough to secure an exclusive contract…)

Mr. Tanaka watched the light as he pondered. Each piece shone as it leveled up. Finally, I performed alchemy on the last two. With a particularly bright light, it appeared.

Evolution♪ King’s Gauntlets Lv 1

“Amazing…”

“Wow…”

“…”

Ai, witnessing alchemy for the first time, and the president were both in awe. Only Mr. Tanaka silently observed the King’s Gauntlets before speaking.

“Kenya, how many can you do per day?”

“Right now, I can do 20 alchemies, so two pieces. The number increases with intelligence…”

“Can you possibly make something beyond the King’s Series?”

“Currently, I can only alchemize up to C-rank, but as I’ve progressed through E and D, I might eventually reach B.”

“Hmm…”

(Outstanding potential, guaranteed two King’s Series items, over 700 a year, with potential for more as intelligence increases… this is…)

Mr. Tanaka fell silent after asking his question. The president watched him with amusement, laughing.

“Kenya!”

Suddenly, Mr. Tanaka stood up, placing his hands on the desk and leaning forward.

“Would you form an exclusive contract with our company? We’ll treat you with the highest benefits, on par with the Evening Star!”
