An Old Man Restaurant Owner Is Unparalleled by Relying on His Old Tricks. It Turns Out, He’s the Legendary Dungeon Conqueror. - 61

Chapter 61: His Looks Aside, He’s the Perfect Main Character

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Now then. Let’s open the last treasure chest.”

〈Gulp〉

〈There’s a saying that says the last one you open usually has the highest value of all.〉

〈This is the first time I’ve heard that. LOL〉

〈Superstition aside, Nishida is the kind of guy who’s brimming good luck. It is possible if it’s Nishida.〉

〈That’s right. That’s the kind of a guy Nishida is.〉

“Although it seems a strange expectation is being pushed on me, but… I’m really not like that. I’m not the main character type of a person.”

〈His looks aside, he’s the perfect main character.〉

〈Right? Aside from looks, that is.〉

〈Yeah. Big emphasis on his looks aside.〉

〈You guys. Stop it already. LOLOLOL〉

〈Don’t worry, Nishida is a cool old man, not a stinky old man. (HAHA)〉

Well, I have to agree. I do look like a mediocre old man no matter how you look at me.

“I’m going to open it now.”

Click. 

“-?!”

A blinding light came from the treasure chest and I instinctively turned my gaze away due to how bright it was. 

〈The heck is this light!?〉

〈Is it some kind of special effect?〉

〈It’s dazzling!〉

〈My eyes, my eyes~~!〉

〈My eyes, my eyes~~!〉

〈My eyes, my eyes~~!〉

“Thi-This is…”

The light gradually began to subside and I could finally see what was inside the last treasure chest. I couldn’t stop myself from gasping upon noticing what was inside. 

It was a bottle of potion. The design of the bottle looked distinctively different from the typical potions, but what stood out even more was the liquid swirling inside the bottle. Within the black liquid, there were countless sparkling flecks. It was as if the whole galaxy was trapped inside that bottle. 

〈Is it an Ex-Potion?〉

〈Ex-Potion is the one that Nishida used the other day, right?〉

〈I’ve never seen anything like this before.〉

〈It looks really beautiful. It has a mystical feel to it.〉

…This is bad. 

I internally groaned while I quickly hid the small bottle. 

“Umm… I guess it is some kind of potion. I don’t know what kind of potion is it, so I will get it appraised somewhere after I return to the surface.”

〈Wow. It’s something that even Nishida doesn’t know about.〉

〈Let us know the appraisal results later!~〉

〈No, but, isn’t that an Elixir?〉

〈Elixir… Isn’t it the so-called cure for all that has a much better healing effect than regular potions, right?〉

〈Huh? For real? You can even cure hereditary disease when you drink it?〉

〈I heard it can extend your lifespan by 10 years.〉

〈There’s another theory that said it can makes you ten years younger.〉

〈According to history, only two have been found in the past. In both occasion, a lot of people had died fighting over it. 〉

〈Whoa, whoa, whoa, is it really that dangerous?〉

〈So that’s why Nishida tried to hide it immediately…〉

〈Ah… (I get it)〉

〈This is bad news.〉

〈Maybe it’s best if you guys don’t to write too much unnecessary information.〉

〈The fierce battle for the Elixir is dawning near…〉

As some of the sharp viewers had noted in the comments, this bottle was indeed an Elixir. In the first place, Elixir was something that could only be obtained from the abyss level that started from the 51st floor. However, I managed to get it on the 30th floor. Probably because the reward had been upgraded many times over since I had defeated a super powered boss during the dungeon’s rampage. Plenty of people were bound to fight for it. They would stop at nothing to get their hands on this. The people’s desire for ‘Phoenix Feather’ skill book might seem like a child’s play compared to this. 

And as for me… Honestly speaking? I didn’t have any use for this. I didn’t have any particular desire to live longer. I didn’t want to look younger either and as of now, I didn’t have any hereditary or chronic diseases. I guess I should get the Dungeon Management Agency to buy this from my hand after I return to the surface. 

“Alright. That’s it for today’s livestream. I will announce the next livestream date once I’ve decided on it.”

〈Thank you. Today’s livestream was fun to see, just like usual.〉

〈It is jam-packed with information, just like usual.〉

〈Viewer’s satisfaction is through the roof!〉

〈No one would think everything could be finished in just one stream. LOLOLOL〉

〈Please subscribe to the channel!〉

〈Everyone, make sure to subscribe to Nishida’s channel!〉

〈Also, don’t forget to give Nishida a thumbs up!〉

〈It’s funny that the viewers are saying this instead of Nishida.〉

〈Nishida is so cool. He’s not begging for attention.〉

〈Nishida’s channel isn’t even monetized anyway.〉

〈Really? What a shame.〉

After ending the livestream, I used the teleportation portal to return to the surface. 

“I’ve returned from the dungeon.”

“Welcome back! I’ve been watching your livestream! Congratulations on conquering the Inokashira Dungeon!”

I greeted the staff at the reception desk and I was immediately greeted back by a young man in his mid 20s. His name tag read “Yamane”. Explorers like me were required to report their return to the staff at the reception desk. The materials I had obtained from the dungeon would be appraised here and I could sell them on the spot and have the tax calculated. Seemingly curious about me, the other staff members began to gather around as I submitted the materials I brought back with me. 

“This is the banana that I picked up on the 29th floor. Please calculate the tax for me.”

I had picked it so I could make banana curry. 

“Ju-Just the banana? I thought you had defeated a large number of deep level monsters…”

“That’s right, but there weren’t any particularly tasty-looking materials.”

“Materials from the deep level monsters are all highly sought after! We would’ve bought them at a high price had you brought some to us!”

He was incredibly bewildered. The other staff members also looked as shocked as him.

“Well… I’ve said this in the other dungeons, but I’m not doing this for money.”

The banana wasn’t expensive by any means, so the amount of tax I had to pay was very reasonable. 

“Now then. The rewards from conquering the dungeon.”

Then, I reported the conquering reward I had obtained. Fortunately, these things were exempt from taxes. The bracelet, escape crystal, shield and the skill book were all mine to keep. I only had to report them for formality sake.

“Then, there’s this magic stone. I’m thinking of selling this one.”

“This… I saw it briefly during the livestream… It is really pitch black…”

They measured the magic power inside the magic stone with a specialized device. The price of the magic stone would be determined based on the amount of the magic power in it. By the way, the average magic power in a magic stone of this size was about 1000 Mv. 

Beep beep beep!

“Wha-What?! 150.000 Mv?! I’ve never seen a magic stone with this much magic power before!”

They would examine it again with a more advanced measuring device for an accurate value. For now, they could only give me a rough estimate.

“It’s probably around 200 to 300 million yen…”
