Based on the map of the first 18 floors of the dungeon obtained from the guild library, Takagi Akira quickly arrived at the ninth floor of the dungeon.

"My luck today is not very good. I came all the way from the seventh floor to the ninth floor, but I didn't encounter a single killer ant on the way."

Takagi Akira complained as he killed the pinhorn rabbit that appeared in front of him with his spear very neatly.

"All I've seen along the way are goblins and rabbits. Where have all the killer ants gone? I never thought that the first challenge of my plan would be to find the killer ants."

After walking around the area where adventurers often appeared marked on the map, Gao Muming failed to find a killer ant.

"Damn it, it feels like the ninth floor, which is not frequented by adventurers from the seventh to ninth floors, has even fewer monsters than the sixth floor. I've encountered monsters less frequently."

While complaining, Gao Muming expanded the search range. Finally, Gao Muming found several killer ants in a corner.

The moment he saw the killer ants, Gao Muming almost jumped up with excitement.

"Finally found the killer ant, let's dance together little darlings."

As Takagi Akira said this, he rushed towards the killer ant closest to him.

Gao Muming controlled the strength in his hands and did not kill this group of rare killer ants. He just used the technology he downloaded from the chat group to easily cut off the killer ants' legs, limiting the killer ants' ability to move.

Then he left these unable to move killer ants behind him and let them release pheromones to attract the surrounding killer ants.

A moment later, Gao Muming saw dense red eyes appearing in several passages, approaching him step by step.

Looking at the killer ants gathering around him, Gao Muming's eyes flashed with excitement, and he whistled as he greeted the large group of killer ants.

The killer ants that originally seemed to be swarming endlessly in the passage gradually became sparse as the battle continued, until finally there were only a few scattered ones.

Looking at the few killer ants left, Gao Muming, who had enjoyed a game of Monster Warriors but was not yet satisfied, frowned.

"The number has decreased. Is it because the pheromones have been released? Or have all the killer ants on the ninth floor of the dungeon been killed by me?"

"Let's try it."

Thinking this, Gao Muming broke the legs of several new killer ants that had arrived, temporarily sparing their lives, and then killed the killer ants that had originally served as bait one by one.

After cleaning up the battlefield and packing all the dropped items, Gao Muming looked at the newly born goblins in the passage with some helplessness and curled his lips in disgust.

"I thought they might be killer ants, but they turned out to be a few goblins. But I deliberately slowed down the speed of picking up the dropped items, so why haven't there been any new killer ants coming?"

"I remember that the time interval between monster rebirths is not very long. The killer ants should have reborn by now."

"It can't be that the killer ants have reached their limit for today because of what I did to them."

"No way, the guild's intelligence didn't mention this."

"No, I need to go to the chat group and find Wizardmon to confirm."

[Dicho World Takagi Akira: Digital World Wizardmon (Takagi Akira) Are you there? 】

[DigiWorld Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): Yes, what happened to you? Why are you looking for me so late at night? ]

[Dicuo World Gao Muming: It's not a big deal, I just want to ask about the number and time of monsters respawning in the dungeons of my world. ]

[DigiWorld Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): Well, I remember seeing this in the encyclopedia. The number of monsters on each floor of a dungeon is generally fixed, and the respawn time is no more than one day.]

[The World of the Wrongful Ones: Is that so? Is the ratio fixed by monster type? ]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): This is not explained in detail in either the encyclopedia or the original work. ]

[DigiWorld Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): Why are you asking this all of a sudden? What's the problem? ]

[Gao Muming from the Earthly World: I am planning to use the killer ant's ability to summon nearby companions to level up. ]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): For you who can use barrier magic to fully protect yourself, Killer Ants are indeed a very good leveling material. 】

[Takagi Akira: I thought so too, but halfway through the fight, the endless stream of killer ants suddenly disappeared.]

[Takagi Akira from the Earthly World: I suspected that the killer ants used as bait had used up their pheromones, so I caught a new batch of bait, but after I finished setting it up, I waited for a long time but didn't see even a single killer ant.]

[DigiWorld Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): I see. ]

[DigiWorld Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): Is it possible that the number of monsters on each floor of your world dungeon is fixed under normal circumstances, and the types of monsters that are born are random?]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): Because of your rampant killing ants, a large number of monsters have been reborn in the dungeon. Since it is random, the number of killer ants on the floor you are on is constantly decreasing. ]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): Until the number of killer ants on your floor becomes zero. ]

[Gao Muming from the world of Dicuo: That shouldn't be the case, right? Compared to this statement, I prefer to believe that the number of monsters that can be generated on each floor of the dungeon is limited every day. ]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): This answer is easy to verify. You can try it. Clean out the monsters on your floor and see if any new killer ants are born.]

[The World of Mistakes Gao Muming: I don't think it's necessary, your guess should be correct. 】

[Gao Muming from the Earthly World: I was wondering why the frequency of encountering monsters on the seventh to ninth floors was lower than that on the sixth floor. Now that I have combined your thoughts, I roughly know the reason.]

[Gao Muming from the Dicuo World: When a normal LV1 adventure team encounters killer ants, they will immediately choose to retreat. The scarcity of kills causes the number of killer ants to remain high in these levels.]

[Gao Muming from the Earthly World: Also, because the killer ants born on these layers gather together due to the pheromones, the killer ants gather together in large areas, which is why the monsters on these layers give people the impression that their numbers are relatively small.]

[Gao Muming from the Earthly World: If our guess is correct, there will probably only be one killer ant of this scale tonight before I upgrade, which makes me feel a little disappointed.]

[DigiWorldWizardmon (Akira Takagi): Disappointed? If you want experience points, with your current strength, it would be more cost-effective to go directly to the middle level and fight LV2 monsters. ]

[Takagi Akira from the Earthly World: It has nothing to do with experience points, it's probably because the soul is quite special. 】

[Gao Muming from the Earthly World: Before I logged into the chat group to look for you, I had a feeling that after tonight's massacre, before my level was raised, I would hardly be able to gain experience points from battles to raise my own abilities.]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): Do you feel that your ability value is about to reach the top? What is your current ability value? ]

[Gao Muming in the world of Dicuo: The magic power is at B, and the other attributes are all at E, and D is not far away. 】

[DigitalWorldWizardmon (Akira Takagi): This shouldn't be the case. Even if you have a skill that increases the efficiency of acquiring ability values, it's impossible to push your ability values ​​to S-rank so quickly when the difference is so big, right?]

[Spider World Gao Muming: I remember that not all adventurers would wait until their stats reach S before breaking through. Is it possible that the potential that he can tap at LV1 has been exhausted?]

[Dicuo World Gao Muming: I didn't expect there are still people online so late, but what do you mean by my potential being exhausted? ]

[Spider-Girl World Gao Muming: Why am I online at this point? Of course it’s because I live in the dark Elro Great Labyrinth, and my schedule is very messy. ]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): You said that your potential has been exhausted and you have reached a bottleneck. Given the quality of the person wearing 'I', this is indeed very likely.]

[Dicuo World Gao Muming: What do you mean by this? 】

[DigiWorld Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): That's right, you're new to the group, so it's not surprising that you don't know. ]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): As a fellow traverser of the Pirate World, I discovered that our physical talents as traversers are somewhat unsatisfactory. ]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): Even though his aptitude has been strengthened many times for the chat group, he is now just barely passable. ]

[Dicuo World Gao Muming: That means my current potential is far behind that of Bell, and I encountered my own bottleneck early on, right? ]

[DigiWorld Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): That's true. ]

[Spider-Girl World Gao Muming: To be honest, ever since I found out that we in the original world have such poor talents, I have been particularly impressed by myself in the original world. 】

[The World of Mistakes Gao Muming: How do you say that? ]

[Spider-World Gao Muming: He is the only real boss in all the known worlds who has broken through the talent barrier by himself without relying on chat groups. ]

[Digital World Wizardmon (Akira Takagi): Indeed, before I got the chat group plug-in, I became a strong man comparable to the Fontaine Legend through my own efforts. ]

[Spider-Girl World Gao Muming: You should have a chance too. After all, because of the grace in your world, the power of idealism can be easily tapped out.]

[Takagi Akira from the Dicuo World: Since we are all myself, if he can do it, there is no reason why I can't. I can definitely break through my own talent barrier.]

After leaving this sentence, Gao Muming ended the conversation, exited the chat group, and started his return journey with his spoils.

Just as Gao Muming said to Wizardmon in the chat group, the number of killer ants decreased significantly in the next two nights, and could not be compared with the grand occasion of the first night.

Due to the decrease in the number of killer ants, the harvest was greatly reduced, and the anxiety of being unable to break through the bottleneck of ability value, this series of factors also greatly reduced the time Gao Muming spent fighting in the dungeon.

Just when Gao Muming was feeling tired of the drastic decrease in his gains, the guild also received reports that the number of monsters on the seventh to ninth floors of the dungeon had increased.

The reason for this report is that Gao Muming slaughtered killer ants on a large scale. In order to maintain the number of monsters on each floor of the dungeon, the number of monsters other than killer ants increased significantly from the seventh to the ninth floor, causing adventurers to have the illusion that the number of monsters on these three floors increased for no reason.

Due to the guild's reminder, adventurers chose to explore other floors for their own safety. This resulted in a significant decrease in the number of monsters killed on the seventh, eighth and ninth floors, and the number of newly born killer ants became increasingly scarce, leading to a terrible situation in which Gao Muming's harvest was further reduced.

After the profits continued to drop sharply on the third day, Gao Muming had to admit that the method he came up with to kill the killer ants had obvious loopholes and was a one-time transaction in a short period of time.

After exchanging all the goods for faris, Gao Muming ate the breakfast he bought on the roadside while looking at the format stalls in the square that were busy preparing.

"By the way, today is the third day, right? I remember Wizardmon mentioned that today is the day when the Ganesha clan hosts the festival, and it is also the day when Freya and Bell "played" for the first time."

"Honestly, I really can't understand why Orario, where there are so many adventurers in the original work, would allow a mere level 1 silverback ape to chase Bell all the way from the square to Daedalus Street openly."

"Could it be that the members of Freya's family went out en masse to secretly stop all the adventurers who tried to help Bell?"

"If you think about it carefully, this is indeed possible. After all, even though Daedalus Street is a slum area, there are still many families stationed there."

"The reason why the Level 1 silverback ape was so rampant there is probably because when the adventurers of the Familia stationed on Daedalus Street were about to take action, they were stopped by members of the Freya Familia, using the default rule of adventurers that they are not allowed to steal other people's prey."

After finishing all the food in his hand, Gao Muming shook his head and complained silently in his heart.

"By the way, the reason why Freya suddenly caused trouble was because she was jealous of the close interaction between Bell and Goddess Hestia, or did she simply want to see what Bell looked like when he fought?"

"I'm more inclined to the former. After all, according to Freya's plan, Bell should find me at the celebration with Xi'er's wallet, and Xi'er can then take the opportunity to ask Bell to go shopping together as a thank you."

"This plan was well made, but unfortunately, it was intercepted by Hestia who just came back from Hephaestus."

"Now that Hestia needs Hephaestus to forge two weapons, she shouldn't appear in front of Bell with the weapons right now, as in the original story, and let Freya get jealous and play a prank, right?"
