Felix raised his hand. “Can Thead to the shops to check out materials?”

Riley looked at him.

Felix quickly added, “Six-person team, full report, no random buys. I’ll just look.”

RedBean said calmly, “You’re going with a strict budget I set.”

Felix’s face fell. “There’s a budget too?”

“Without a budget, you’d sell yourself to the material shop.”

LoneSparrow nodded beside him. “She’s right.”

Felix shot him an annoyed glance. “Whose side are you on?”

“The guild treasury’s side,” LoneSparrow replied. “If you go bankrupt and the guild has to cover you, we all lose out.”

A few quiet laughs broke out around them.

The sound was soft, but it lightened the tense atmosphere.

Now that they were inside the Floor 15 central hall, the heavy dread of death slowly faded away.

They still had plenty of work ahead. But for the first time in a while, they were safe.

To most of them, it almost felt like the dungeon run was over.

“We’re actually allowed to walk around?” someone asked.

Hanna shot them a sharp look. “You can walk around, but don’t get careless. Teams of six or more, full pre-report. Remember tha

The person nodded quickly. “Got it.”

Another member mumbled, “I wanna see the inn. Just the beds.”

A teammate clapped his shoulder. “Have some ambition. Say you wanna see the XP beds.”

“Shut it. I’m this close to crying at the sight of a bed right now.”

More laughter spread through the group.

TartKing pulled PineappleBeer aside.

PineappleBeer’s earlier headache had passed, but she still looked pale. She claimed she was fine, but Tartking refused to believe it.

“Come rest at the inn with me, Pine,” TartKing said.

PineappleBeer frowned. “I don’t need to.”

Riley looked over, her tone blunt and firm.

“Go rest. You were clearly off earlier. Sleep it off and see how you feel. Don’t make us worry.”

PineappleBeer stared at her for along moment before finally nodding.

“Alright.”

Satisfied, TartKing turned back to Riley. “What about you?”

“I’m checking the connector.”

TartKing frowned. “You need rest too.”

‘I need to contact the camp,” Riley said.

TartKing fell silent.

nce arrangements were set, the guild split into teams to carry out their tasks.

The first group headed for the inn, consisting of severely injured members and the healing team.

TartKing led the group, with PineappleBeer following along.

Before leaving, TartKing glanced back at Riley, still uneasy.

‘Come back soon. Update us if anything happens.”

‘Got it.” Riley nodded.

PineappleBeer looked back at Riley as she walked. Their eyes met.

PineappleBeer said nothing; she just gave a slight nod.

Riley nodded

After that, she walked alone toward the connector building at the town’s center.

Up close, the area was far busier than it had looked-from afar

it was a three-story stone building lined with rune-carved slabs. Crowds streamed in and out nonstop. A ring of light rotated slowly atop the roof, runes flickering on and off constantly as if receiving signals from countless directions.

A sign hung above the entrance: Cross-Floor Communication Tower.

Smaller text sat underneath: Communication, Trading, Teleportation.

Riley did not rush inside. She stood at the entrance and observed for a white.

All kinds of people came and went.

There were solo powerhouses and team representatives. Some left with elated expressions, having reconnected with lost teammates.

Others walked out looking grim, having received terrible news. A few entered carrying large loads and left empty-handed, clearly

Orc NPCs carried large wooden mugs through the crowd. A human bartender polished glasses behind the counter. An elf female NPC sat in the corner collecting fees for intel trades. A dwarf manned a small stall on the opposite side, selling rune slices for long- distance communication.

This place held all kinds of people.

Yet a strange order hung over everything.

Everyone spoke in low voices. No one caused trouble or issued open challenges.

Several gazes landed on Riley the moment she stepped inside.

The staircase was packed with people. She had no choice but to take a seat against the wall. She ordered the cheapest hot drink, planning to observe and gather information first.

The human bartender glanced at her. “Ten Frost Tokens.”

Riley paid the cost.

The hot drink arrived quickly.

It tasted plain, but it was warm. The only worthwhile part was the minor spirit buff it granted.

Riley held the cup and sat quietly, listening to the conversations around her.

People chatted freely here. She didn’t need to seek out intel; it simply drifted to her ears.

Three survivors sat at the table on her right. Their gear did not match, proving they were from different guilds, yet they talked like old acquaintances.

A man in a beast hide cloak asked, “How far did the Black Fog push on your side this time?”

“It stopped right outside Floor 15,” another replied. “Same as always. Making it to Floor 15 counts as clearing the run. The higher floors are only for lunatics. I’m not pushing deeper for this dungeon cycle. We’re well under the death threshold anyway.”

The third man let out a cold laugh. “Don’t be so sure. Plenty of people turn their whole run around on those higher floors. Relig fragments, survivor tombs, high.tier class.change items-you risk your life for every single one.”

The beast-cloaked man scoffed. “Risk your life, sure. But you need to survive it too. Last year, I watched a full tean charge Floor 20 They looked like unbeatable warriors going in. Only two came back, and one of them went insane.”

“Two coming back is still better than nothing.”

“Fair enough.”

At another table, a woman in white light armor talked with her teammates.

“Has anyone seen elf survivors? Not elf NPCs-actual survivor players.”

“Saw some by the material shop. Word is their server never only had humans to begin with.”

“What about the NPCs? I always/thought they were all system-generated.”.
