Jake logged into the game world the next day.


    He quickly shopped for a few items and consumables, mainly mana and healing potions. Those were required for a dungeon expedition, as Jake didn''t have anyone to support him.


    He could try getting into a team, but that would go against his ways.


    Upon entering Viktor''s workce, Jake heard Aaron and Viktor''s argument.


    "Yer call this a finished work?" Aaron red at a wooden shelf.


    From Jake''s perspective, it was a finished product. The wooden shelf was painted and appeared exquisite enough to be perched in a royal house.


    Viktor harrumphed, "It''s a finished work."


    "Yer could have done it a hundred times better!" Aaron shouted and then shook his head.


    Viktor sneered, "You think that old dog baron will be able to tell the difference between this and a hundred times better shelf? So long as it doesn''t creak and looks fine, anything will do for him. Besides, he''s only ordered this from me to gossip about my household and feel better about himself. A typical noble at the bottom of the hierarchy."


    Aaron stroked his beard, pondering aloud, "Yer might be right."


    "I am right," Viktor corrected him.


    Ignoring their usual argument, Jake headed to the tree ntation. He''d call his summons and tell them about their n for the first dungeon expedition.


    He may be a lone yer, but he wasn''t withoutpanions!


    Ender, Medusa, Wukong, and Odin had appeared on the scene.


    Jake wanted everyone to stay beside each other in a row, but Ender and Medusa refused to leave their nests. Jake didn''t even botherpelling them to listen to him.


    Ender and Medusa reacted victoriously in their own way.


    "Alright," Jake rubbed his hands, "We''re going to the first dungeon!"


    Wukong raised his hands, and Odin woofed.


    Ender and Medusa nodded.


    "I''ve cooked up a n," Jake said. He squatted down and talked to everyone like the oldest of the group. "Our main objective is to mine minerals and ores for jewelry. I''ll do that easily with my miner''s subss and title. You guys will have your own roles."


    Jake turned to Ender, "I checked your skill''s description, Ender. The Nest Of Darkness doesn''t have a cooldown and allows you to hide in darkness as long as you have mana. This skill will be crucial in our dungeon endeavor! You''ll have to hide our resources in your nest and wait for us to pick them."


    Because of Jake''s limited inventory capacity, he couldn''t mine many resources. He wanted a mountain of them, so he would mine a lot! The problem was that going back and forth from the dungeon would be too dangerous and time-consuming.


    It was better to mine a lot and store them somewhere safe.


    It''d exclude the time-consuming dilemma. Of course, the dangers would still remain as yers and monsters wandered in the dungeon, but that was better than a regr n.


    "I don''t know your skill''s range, Ender. It''s because Ick this beast-tamer ss… I''m sorry, you all. If I had it, I could even open an inventory feature for you… instead, I bought some cheap bags for now," Jake sighed.


    Everyone cheered him, however.


    It was quite a sweet moment.


    Jake''s smile returned as fast as it crumbled.


    "We''ll test your Nest Of Darkness'' range in the dungeon and make a proper safe spot for you! I doubt anyone at this low level can see through your darkness or invade it, so this will be our temporary spatial storage! I count on you, Ender!" Jake said and petted Ender''s head with his finger.


    The baby eagle screeched with confidence.


    Meanwhile, Jake passed the bags to Wukong and Odin. He tied three bags on Odin''s back while Wukong easily strapped two of them to himself. Their job was to carry resources to Ender''s nest.


    "Medusa will take over Ender''s job and keep an eye on the surroundings. Listen to her hisses," Jake said.


    Ender screeched in a different way. Perhaps he was scoffing at Medusa.


    She hissed at him, too.


    Only Wukong and Odin listened to Jake''s words and left their safety to the baby snake.


    Jake pped his hands, gathering everyone''s attention, "We''ll face a lot of enemies in the dungeon. Even yers might go at us, so we must always be careful. I know we can take down anyone, so forget all disputes between you and work together like the team you are. The main n is to get resources, but I also want to take a peek at the boss and maybe fight him.


    It''ll depend on our consumables and circumstances, though."


    After that, Jake stood up and approached Viktor, "Can I leave my items here? This is the safest spot for me now."


    "You can," Viktor nodded.


    Although Jake didn''t have many items, his stuff was precious to him. The main important item was the legendary gem—The Eagle''s Eye. Jake wanted to make a sight from it.


    The rest of the items were his trophies from the tutorial ind.


    Jake''s Wolf Boss armor was one of them.


    Aaron caught interest in it, "I want to study it. I will see yer ws and mistakes on it."


    "Oh, sure! Thank you!" Jake genuinely thanked the old man.


    Aaron grinned, "I have nothing to do anyway! Haha!"


    Viktor butted in, "You could cut down some trees, then."


    "Merciless brat! What about my back?!" Aaron mmed a fist into Viktor''s armor,ining at him.


    It was pretty odd to look at them acting like that.


    Jake didn''t have time, though.


    He bowed at them and wished them a good time together.


    "I''ll be going now!" Jake waved at the duo before turning around and leaving the workce. With his summons on him, including Odin in his arms, Jake looked like a fantasy adventurer.


    Aaron and Viktor were suddenly blown by an unexpected wave of hope…


    The old master said something first, "I hope no one is gonna bother him."


    "Impossible," Viktor tly replied, which was unnatural of him, "yers will seek his pets or just bully him. Their kind don''t fear any consequences."


    Aaron slowly stroked his beard, "Yer think we could use her to avenge him if someone bullies Jake?"


    Viktor narrowed his eyes, "You reckon she will care?"


    "Considering yer household''s looming problem…" Aaron pondered aloud. He hadn''t shown anything on his face or even in his voice, but his holding his beard so tightly showed that he was bothered by Viktor''s predicament.


    Viktor was familiar with it.


    He didn''t say anything and just turned around.
