"You didn't knock." Liam was the first to respond, as he smiled bitterly and pulled himself out. Ah… Shen Yue then grabbed a blanket lying nearby and covered herself up.
But what she did not expect to see was a fox who was sleeping soundly under the blanket. Had they actually done everything with the fox right next to them?
She looked at the fox and then at Alex, not knowing what to be more embarrassed about. She wanted to bury her head somewhere.
Liam, on the other hand, was completely shameless. He was stark naked, but he didn't care about that. He casually took his time and walked across the room to get a towel.
"Anything urgent?" He asked as he wrapped the towel around him.
Alex shook her head blankly. She stared at the two people in front of her and then at the fox, only to silently turn back and leave.
Alex stood there for a second with her jaw on the ground. She then silently turned back and left, closing the door behind her.
Following her lead, Shen Yue also hurriedly tried to run to the bathroom, but Liam quickly grabbed her and pushed her back onto the bed. "Where are you running? Let's finish what we started."
Kyaaa ha ha… The girl yelped and giggled at the same time. He threw the towel and blanket both on top of the fox and then resumed what they were doing before the interruption.
Meanwhile… outside the door…
"Asshole. Bastard. Jerk. Can't you fucking lock the door!" Alex grumbled loudly, gritting her teeth as she stomped away in a huff.
Rey and a few other guild members who walked past her saw this and quickly made themselves scarce, as they had never seen the woman so furious.
"What happened to make her so mad?" Rey wondered, but he continued walking away in the opposite direction at the same time, not daring to come on her warpath.
A couple of hours later, Liam called for everyone as they assembled together for lunch. He then explained the new and updated dungeon version to everyone, warning them not to enter just yet.
The meeting went on for a while, during which Alex remained silent. On the other hand, Rey and others had several questions for Liam, as they couldn't believe that the same dungeon had suddenly become so difficult.
"Bro, were you really not able to one-shot your way through the floors?"
"Ha… No one has that kind of absolute strength." Liam shook his head helplessly. Since this was as good a time as any, he also added another warning to everyone.
"Since this dungeon is so far above my skill level, I fear that other future disasters we might face would also be out of my league. We should be prepared for everything. How is the boundary expansion coming along?"
The group discussed some logistics for a while, after which Liam decided to visit the magic shop. He had obtained a lot of items recently and wanted to check just how much they were worth.
In these situations, his previous life knowledge was pretty much useless. He was a pauper back then when compared to his current condition.
Liam directly walked out of the hotel and summoned one of his undead to carry him.
Just like him, Luna had also exhausted herself back on the fourth floor of the dungeon fighting with the abomination orcs, and she was still asleep.
So he did not disturb the fox. He simply placed some food in the room and left for the magic shop.
Surprisingly, this time when he entered the shop, he did not see the familiar face rushing forward to greet him. The shop manager, Tilia, was nowhere to be seen.
"This is interesting," Liam muttered under his breath, but he did not particularly care about it. After all, it has already been established that the fairy was not going to help in any manner, at least for now.
So he did not bother wasting any more time wondering about her actions and went straight to one of the counters.
"Hello, Mr Liam. How may I help you?" It looked like they were still treating him with respect even though the main person was not there to attend to him.
"I would like to sell an item." Liam took out one of the elite orc's shoulder pieces that had dropped on the first floor of the new dungeon.
Items were precious, as currently, they did not have the knowledge or ability to manufacture these kinds of reinforced magic items by themselves. So he did not plan on selling more.
The one that he offered to sell was merely to gauge its value. The fairy nodded and accepted the shoulder pad with a slight look of awe in her eyes.
"This item is of very high quality, Mr Liam." She even praised him. She then opened her system interface, placed the item within it and returned a hefty pouch. "That will be 100 mana cores, Mr Liam."
"Hmmm?" Liam's face twitched as he received the pouch. What the hell was this? Hearing her praise the item, he had hoped for a lot more, but this was a bit disappointing.
At this rate, even if he were to sell all the items, it won't be enough to settle the debt. Was this all designed in such a manner that they would forever remain broke?
With a sigh, Liam narrowed his eyes and asked again. "Then… can I take a look at the items for sale?"
"Sure, Mr Liam." The fairy immediately opened up a screen with a smile. Liam's gaze dragged on the list from one item to another, only to end with a bitter smile the next moment.
It was just as he thought. The fairies were buying back the items at a dirt cheap price while selling items of a similar level for a hundred times that same price.
If this was not daylight robbery, then what was?
Instead of purchasing anything from this shop, it was better to grind away in the dungeon.
Liam did not sell any other items and simply took out the store credit card and waved at the fairy's face. "I will pay back some of my debt."
He then took out about five hundred mana cores from his spatial artifact and heaped them all unceremoniously on the table.
Again, the fairy had a shocked look on her face as she scrambled quickly to pick up all the mana cores that were now falling to the crystal-clean floor.
