Goddess Wives x Eternal Dungeon-Chapter 37 - : Gains And Facing The Music!

"Phew..."

Sitting at the rest stop, I was sipping on a cold amber ale, only costing me 1 gold as I slowly went through all the information gained from my strange focused state.

Eternia, can you not help me with your magical goddess brain?

[I can summarise your gains and current inventory if you like?]

"Yeah. Mmmm, This is really good ale!"

[Give me a moment]

While enjoying my ale, I leaned back and closed my eyes, taking slow, deep breaths between sips.

Honestly, my body felt extremely sore and tired.

I knew my level had increased, but right now, I was sick of this stuff and just wanted to sell the crap, get more money in reality and give part to Elizabeth so she doesn't think I was some player.

The Item Shop lady was someone different today, a little squishy cat thing that added "Nyao" to its sentences.

It was really cute.

[Okay... First, I will tell you the total amount of gold earned, then items and finally, equipment or items you gained.]

"Sounds good." My body leaned over the wooden table, feeling a little sleepy—the bits after fighting were like school all over again, despite getting good grades.

I hated the class and studying.

[Okay, you had 259 gold leaving the 4th Floor.]

[Now you have gained 325 gold from Ratmen and the Miniboss dropping 55 gold on its own]

[A total of 584 Gold or $58,400]

My eye opened wide, and somehow it felt amazing to earn that much in a few hours

just 3 hours had passed, and I earned more than most would in an entire month.

I could feel tears building in my eyes—the first gain was because of an item. This world didn't even feel real, and spending so much outside. But now it felt real!

My life would change—I WOULD change it!

[(Rai... I am so happy to see you like this...)]

{(You've begun to fall for him from his molesting of you...!? Stockholm Syndrome!)}

[Good work, Rai! I will now tell you how much useless crap you got to sell!]

[232 Rat Fur]

[250 Rat Hides]

[100 Rat Claws]

[47 Dusty Rags]

[Should you vendor these, the gold would be pretty low, but overall, it will add 457 gold to your total.]

[Normally, 4-5 would share this.]

[An amazing amount for a solo... No wonder you are so worn out and tired]

I felt my heart racing from her kind words and the sincerity in her voice, which stunned me—normally, when joking or mocking me, Eternia would speak cheekily and snort with her nose.

Yet she was speaking with such a gentle voice, like a lover's whisper.

Not like I know how it feels, merely my imagination of what it would be like.

While she started talking, I walked to the cute cat shop and sold the items as she said.

There did seem to be a crafting system, but Eternia told me that the lowest level of materials only drops after the 10th Floor when different enemies start spawning.

"Back again, Nyao?" A soft cat voice sounded before it opened its coat. "What're Nya buyin'?" countless vials and strange items were in the inner pockets.

"Not much. Could you accept these items?" I poked each item and swiped them to the interfaces trade and barter tray before the cat did a strange hop and twirled around.

"Lots of things, Nyao~ please come again!"

"Wait, please transfer 1,000 coins into my real currency!"

"!!!" 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒏𝒆𝒕

With a happy face, the cat started to dance before my phone buzzed, stating the balance was now $100,000 better off.

I was just about to turn around when the voice of Eternia stopped me, making me realise, "But wait, there's more!" like those stupid infomercials on at 3 am.

[Rai I will no read out the items and have sorted them in your bag, so the trash is on the top left in order.

[The decent items are all in the bottom right with 2 uncommon rings and 1 rare pair of Gauntlets for attack and defence.]

[Ahem! Because I know you are a little forgetful and rushed. All items that are worth more than a certain amount or are above uncommon will ask you to confirm the sale or when discarding them]

[3 x Crude Iron Dagger for 2g a piece]

[5 x Rusy Iron Sword for 3g a piece]

[2 x Iron Greatsword for 8g a piece]

[Ruined leather armour]

[Small Flask]

As she called the items out, I slid them into the cat's little try each time it danced, and it was addictive. Suddenly I got a warning and seemed to have almost sold one of the two rings.

"Fuck!? 2,000 gold"

[One is worth double that, but I suggest you only sell this one and keep the expensive one.]

"How come?" The cat smiled at me, the fairy on my right shoulder and the small wolf curled around my neck to the left could speak.

Maybe that's why it didn't treat me like a crazy person.

[The cheap ring increases damage which is amazing for others. But it is soulbound and only worth the gemstone's magic crystals.]

"Why do they sell for so much?"

[Much...]

[Darling on the lower floors, even a meal costs 200 gold]

Somehow her tone and words were flirtatious as she kissed my cheek, stroking it softly with her hands. I realised that our relationship had changed so fast. The time was short, but It felt like I had known her for years. Like some hidden and unknown fate.

I watched her beautiful face, and her soft lips moved when she spoke to me; I couldn't deny that if she were to speak in her true form, I might fall for her in an instant.

Making her smile seemed to be something that I desired, like second nature.

[Maybe you are a little tired? Do you need a rest?] Her lovely shimmering eyes looked at me, reaching up on her tiptoes to check my forehead.

[You don't have a fever... good. Who knows what that damn sleeping wolf did to you.]

"You're very protective, thank you. It makes me happy to see you so gentle and caring."

[Hmmm... I see. Maybe if you treat me well, I will do it more. Hmph!]

*kiss*

Before she turned away, her shy face kissed my lips before moving to the edge of my shoulder and sitting down with her beautiful wings flapping as if to cool herself down.

Thus I sold the ring! And I made lots of money! HAHAHAHAH!

The empty bank instantly increased from 41 to 2,089 Gold!

I equipped the second ring and gauntlets before returning to the portal to leave.

The gauntlets were a dark blue shade of leather, while the iron was a dark ash grey, making them look awesome as they fitted me perfectly; the insides were cool and silky, not feeling sweaty!

[Ironclad Gauntlets of Battle! (Rare)]

Durability: 140/140

Attack: 10

Defence: 12

Info: A special pair of Gauntlets made by a talented blacksmith and leatherworker. They are adept at both attacking and defending.

But their priority is defence and parrying blows.

[Regeneration] - Will Restore lost Durability over time

[Hasted Blows] - When fighting, Hand-to-Hand attacks are 20% faster with the chance to throw a bonus strike once every 10 seconds.

I set the gauntlets to hide before looking at the ring, but before I could equip it, Eternia fluttered over and grabbed it—then she struggled to place it on my left hand's third finger; afterwards, she looked extremely satisfied and happy.

She was humming on my shoulder while kicking her legs. So I checked its benefits and was shocked.

[Stalwart Ring of Elusion]

Info: A ring that grants the user more graceful movements and a slight feeling of the world slowing down when attacked!

[Focused Vision] - When in melee combat, slows time by 0.3 seconds when attacked.

[Evasion Up!] - Agility increases the chance to dodge or parry.

1 Agility = 1% (Max 40%)

"I'm so damn tired..."

When Moving to the portal. I felt a sense of tension and worry.

"It is time to face Aki... I hope she will keep her word..."

[What!?]

"I mean... won't be too harsh..."

{(Fufu~ our boy wants to fuck his sister doggy style)}

[(I thought you were sleeping!)]

{(I was until a shameless little goddess tried to get a head start... He doesn't even know you just did something unforgivable if it were the past...)}

[Hmph! He's the only one for me!]

{(You don't even know how true those words are... My cute sister. But it's not for you... but "US")}
