Cheat Awakening

Chapter 245: Chapter 245. Two New Dungeons

"Are you saying that you're getting bored of killing the same type of monster and want to go somewhere else to face more powerful ones? Am I right?" Sylphy asked causally while eating dinner.

"Yes, for the past two weeks, we've either been clearing dungeons of strength or hunting those slimes. Now, I'm tired of seeing them regularly. I need something different that can give me a challenge. I want to explore dangerous places that send shivers down my soul. Do you guys understand what I mean?" Myne said excitedly, observing all three of his girls staring at him with a varied expression.

"But don't you have Phasmophobia? What if you encounter a ghost while exploring some ruins? Who is going to save you then?" Aisha raised her eyebrow, not understanding when Myne became so brave.

"When did I say that I'm going to explore haunting sites? I want to beat powerful monsters, the ones we find in dungeons. I don't want to go ghost-hunting. You're thinking too much," Myne replied with a poker face, no longer hiding the fact that he was extremely scared of ghosts.

"What! Lord Husband, you're scared of ghosts? Why didn't you tell me about it? Also, are there real ghosts in the world?" Sylphy asked with a shocked face.

Is this even a thing to tell about? Honey, you really need to check your head, Myne thought, his mouth twisting. He wondered whether Sylphy was really serious or just playing with him.

"As far as I know, I haven't seen any ghosts yet, but I've heard from a lot of adventurers saying that they've seen real ghosts.

I doubt their credibility since most adventurers, to hide their bad deeds, occasionally make up such random excuses, and later they admit that what they said was just a made-up story," Aisha, who had spent three years working in the guild, put forward her opinion, which clearly wasn't satisfying enough for everyone.

"Actually, ghosts really exist in our world. Most of them are harmless rarely interact with living beings and can't be seen without special power, so not many people know about it. I once saw my father killing a vengeful ghost who possessed one of my clan women. Believe me, you guys don't want to see that process. It was so brutal that I can't describe it in words. Overall, ghosts are not a good thing.

Unless you have something that can harm their spirit body, it's better to stay as far away from them as possible. Otherwise, if you're lucky, you might not even realize how you die. And if you're unlucky, then believe me, the end is not something you guys want to hear."

Amy, who had become almost forgotten by everyone, spoke gently in a low voice, sending shivers down everyone's spine.

"Are you serious, Amy? Are there really ghosts? You're not joking with us, right?" Sylphy asked earnestly, a frown creasing her forehead.

"If there can be Divine Beasts, Demons, Devils, why can't there be ghosts? We all know that every living being has a soul, right? Then isn't it normal that out of millions, one soul can't go to the afterlife and left behind with us?" Amy's reasoned words caused Aisha and Sylphy, who were initially reluctant to accept the existence of ghosts, to fall into thoughtful silence.

Aisha, in particular, shot an apologetic glance at Myne, realizing she had mocked him for being afraid of imaginary ghosts.

"Forget about it; let's return to the main point. Do you guys have any idea where we can go next for hunting? We still need to earn a lot of money for our clan building," Myne clapped his hands and inquired with a smile, aiming to dispel the gloomy atmosphere lingering from Amy's shocking revelation.

"Myne, since you currently have nothing better to do, rather than looking for monsters randomly, why not travel a little bit and increase the places where we can go through your teleportation skill? Don't you need to go there once to open a portal? Now is the best time to travel a bit and roam various places.

This way, it would also be easier for our clan to conduct full-scale activities in the future. We could dispatch our people to different places in a short amount of time, outpacing our competitors and earning acknowledgement from our clients."

Bang! Hearing Aisha's proposal, Myne suddenly slapped the dining table and stood up from his chair in excitement, stars clearly visible in his eyes.

"Great idea, Aisha! As expected of you. I know you have hidden a lot of wonderful things in your brilliant mind. This way, not only could we go to different places for vacations, but maybe we could also find other dungeons. We could start our own transport business. Doesn't our kingdom lack aquatic creatures, like fishes and other marine specialities?

We could transport them here; there is literally no market for it. Our product will sell like crazy. Oh, and we could set prices in different categories for the rich and commoners. Such a genius I am. We can overcome our financial crises in a matter of weeks with the establishment of our business."

Myne rambled to himself with a crazed expression, making everyone exchange glances before deciding to move a bit away from him so as not affected by his sudden craziness, despite acknowledging the potential brilliance of Myne's business plan.

"But, Lord Husband, do you have any idea how far the nearest seaport town or city is? Or do you know the route to get there?" Sylphy poured cold water on Myne's excitement with two reasonable questions.

"You guys can't see my happiness, can you? Is there any need to tell this right now? Forget it; next time I meet father-in-law, I will talk about it with him. He may have a map of the kingdom near the sea. So where should I go next then? It's better if there's a dungeon, so we all could earn plenty of experience," Myne asked.

Both Aisha and Sylphy crossed their arms and started thinking in silence.

Then, Amy, who usually liked to remain silent, suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts and asked curiously with her big watery eyes, currently she is not using her magic bracelet to hide her appearance.

"Uhmm, I have a question from a while ago... Myne can use your teleportation skill multiple times and go anywhere you've been at least once without caring about distance?"

"Yes, what about it? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Hearing Amy's question, Myne showed a confused expression and asked with a raise of his eyebrow.

"But as a hume, how can you have so much magic energy to use space and time-related skill which consume an astonishing amount of magic energy? My grandpa also had teleportation skills, but he rarely used it because of the high energy consumption. Even though he was a high elf and his magic energy storage could compare to that of 50 adult hume, even then, he rarely used it.

However, I've already seen you using this skill multiple times as if it doesn't cost you anything. You literally use it like the back of your hand. I can't understand how a hume could have so much magic energy. This shouldn't be possible..."

Amy's innocent and sincere question left Myne in an awkward position. Due to his Inventory skill, which accumulated magic energy from the air every passing second, he never lacked magic energy.

Most of the time, he subconsciously forgot about it, and people around him didn't think much about it either, as they hadn't seen his rare but powerful skill obtained from monsters before and knew nothing about it. From their point of view, the skill might not consume much magic energy.

However, today, due to his carelessness, Amy, who always observed everything carefully, noticed this and directly asked the question in front of everyone.

Damn, I forgot about Amy. Do elves also have someone with a cut-and-paste skill? Otherwise, why do they always have someone with the skills I have? And does Amy have nothing better to do than waste her time with old people and books? Why does she have answers to everyone's questions? Now, what should I lie to them?

It's better to come up with something reasonable; if Amy exposes my lie, I might be in deep trouble later, Myne thought while gulping down his saliva.

"Actually, I couldn't use this skill easily at first. However, Fenrir gave me a magical fruit. After eating it, my magic capacity increased significantly, and even using a heavy skill like teleportation doesn't consume much magic energy. When I asked her about it, she told me not to think too much. So, after that day, I never felt the strain of using any of my skills.

Maybe that fruit was very powerful and provided me with a huge amount of magic energy, like monsters?

"Hearing Myne's answer and knowing that it is related to Fenrir, everyone's doubt vanished instantly. Even Amy, who was far more curious than anyone, obediently shut her mouth."

Fenrir's name is really very useful. If anyone has doubt, just throw her name, and everyone's curiosity will disappear just like that. Maybe I should give her some gift for always helping me without even knowing," Myne thought with a smile.

"If that's the case, how about going to the Dungeon of the Sky and the Dungeon of the World Tree? They are quite good dungeons and fulfil all your requirements as well. You will definitely be satisfied if you only need powerful monsters to fight," Amy spoke calmly after a moment of silence, making everyone frown.

Where did those two unfamiliar dungeons pop up from? I've never heard about them, Myne thought and looked at Aisha and Sylphy, but both of them shook their heads, indicating that neither of them knew anything about it.

"Sorry, Amy, but could you please explain those two dungeons? What kind of dungeons are they? We've never heard anything about them before," Myne asked, trying to look directly into Amy's eyes, not at her big boobies.

"Both dungeons are in the old elf territory..."
