Limitless Summoner: Rise of the Soul God-Chapter 143 : Dumping the loot

Ethan barely kept himself from choking on thin air. Twenty stat points per level?! That was absurd! No, beyond absurd!

For reference, most people got between 1 to 3 stat points per level; even his SSS rank class gave him 5 per level. And this little girl? She just threw out 20 like it was normal!

He was currently getting 2 stat points per level for his mage class, and combined with the 5 from the summoner class, he was getting 7 per level. He thought he was a cheat because of his dual class, but this little girl was outright monstrous.

And she didn't even realize how terrifying she was.

Ethan's brain struggled to process the information. Did this have to do with her Primordial Neonate title? Or was it tied to her status as a True Being? If this continued, she would surpass everyone in just a few levels!

To think that he considered himself overpowered. He was truly a frog in the well.

"Luna," he started carefully, rubbing his temples, "Are you sure it said 20?"

"Yep!" she chirped, beaming, and went right back to killing as if it was no big deal. After staring at her for a couple of minutes, Ethan decided to get his hands dirty and get some levels, but it looked like the dungeon was already cleared.

He did not even get a glimpse of the boss before his minions jumped on the poor thing and ended it. Was there only one boss, or more than one boss?

Ethan scratched his head. These green portals were not posing that much of a challenge to his horde, but the lower-ranked ones were still gaining levels quite decently.

His rats were at level 15 now. The lesser demons were also close to level 15. A couple more of these dungeons and even the newly added slimes, gators, and scorpions would reach the same level.

Most importantly, his worm that was dragging the entire team down was now level 14, which was a huge deal.

Shortly afterward, the trio exited the dungeon. This time, they walked over to the vendors before getting into another dungeon.

"I want to sell these things." Ethan dropped a fraction of the beast carcasses onto the vendor's counter, trying to gauge their value before dumping the entire stock.

The merchant, a portly man, rubbed his hands together in interest. "Ah, you've got some good stuff here. Desert scorpion carapaces are in demand for light armor reinforcement, and these venom sacs fetch a nice price for alchemists."

He reached down and poked at the pile before raising an eyebrow at Ethan. "How many do you have?"

"How many can you take?" Ethan asked. He did not want to create a similar situation again.

But it looked like he was worried for no reason. "I usually pay 20 gold for an entire dungeon run's loot. A green portal dungeon run."

The man was ready to buy an entire dungeon's loot? Awesome! This made everything a lot simpler.

The merchant nodded, scratching his beard. "Yeah. The price varies depending on the quality and quantity, but if you've got a decent haul, I can take everything off your hands for twenty gold per run. No hassle."

Ethan rubbed his chin, thinking. That meant eight more dungeons would net him 160 gold—a huge sum compared to what they started with.

"How much does a magic pouch cost?"

"Basic magic pouches—your standard low-tier storage bag—cost around 100 gold each. They hold up to 10,000 cubic feet worth of items. Pretty decent for beginners like yourself."

Ethan frowned slightly. 100 gold was a steep price, but considering how much they were hauling in per dungeon, it was definitely achievable by the end of the day.

"What about the higher-tier ones?" he asked, already thinking ahead.

The merchant's eyes gleamed with interest. "Ahh, now we're talking." He stroked his beard. "A mid-tier storage pouch runs for 300 to 500 gold. They hold over 20,000 cubic feet worth of items and come with space-locking enchantments to keep perishable items fresh."

"But if you're looking for the real deal, the high-tier storage artifacts start at 1,000 gold and go way up from there. Those beauties can carry almost 100,000 cubic feet worth of of loot and even pause time inside, meaning food and potions never expire."

Ethan let out a low whistle. "1,000 gold, huh?"

The merchant nodded with a smile. "Not cheap, but worth every coin."

"Okay, I will think about it." Ethan then dumped the rest of the loot they had gathering, fully emptying the storage pouch. Since they hadn't collected the complete loot of the first dungeon, the shop keeper ended up only giving him 45 gold coins.

"Hmmm… this is still not enough to repay Finn." Ethan might be a selfish scoundrel but he still appreciated those who helped him when he needed it.

The man had just handed him a 100 gold coin worth magic pouch just like that without asking anything in return. Chances were that they would never see each other again so he would pay back that kindness before leaving this place.

After all the transactions were complete, Ethan prepared to leave the shop when suddenly he stopped and asked a question. "How much does a blue portal dungeon loot net?"

The merchant paused, then gave Ethan an appraising look before letting out a knowing chuckle. "Ah, aiming higher already, are we?" He leaned forward slightly.

"A blue portal dungeon, huh? Those are no joke, lad. More dangerous, but the payout is much better. If you bring back a full haul, you're looking at around 80 to 150 gold per run, depending on the quality of the monsters and materials."

Ethan's eyebrows lifted slightly. That was four to seven times what he was making from the green dungeons. If they could manage even a few blue portal runs, they'd have more than enough for a mid-tier storage pouch and maybe even save extra for other gear.

"The big difference," the merchant continued, "They're meant for teams, so monsters inside are stronger, and bosses. But if you survive? You'll be walking out with your pockets lined."
