My Room Has Become a Dungeon's Rest Area (LN)

Book 2: Chapter 2: (5)

I was arranging a salad on a plate while being absolutely dead tired. I somehow managed to stay awake after pulling an all-nighter before my part-time job. No matter how much [Stamina], [Strength], and [Agility] I have, I can apparently still get tired. And after all, tired things must sleep.

B-But even after all that, I did manage to level up a bit hehehe.

The monsters in the dungeon appeared to really enjoy Japanese pet food, so much so that when they start eating, they become completely absorbed and unaware of whats going on. Honestly, after a while, I just started halfway closing my eyes and clicking the mouse button without looking at the monitor. Even so, I still managed to crush a high percentage of monsters with the iron gate.

Hey Suzuki! Hurry up and get that salad out there!

Ah, sorry!

I was so preoccupied thinking about the dungeon that I made Tateishi, the high school girl who was waitressing in the hall, upset. Ugh, I really want to finish work up fast so I can go level up some more. To think that I can level up just by scattering out some pet food and simply pushing a button. Its so damn fun. On the other end, if I work here and put out salad at a family restaurant, I wont get any level ups whatsoever, and that goes the same for skills. Its totally pointless. It sucks I cant grind and do my part-time job at the same time.

Hey, wait a sec

That reminded me of something, Ive often heard of things called bots. My friend once told me he used a program in an online RPG to level up automatically, with him not even home. But online games are complicated, so they needed some complicated software. But for me, I only need to click at a certain interval, so theres probably a ton of free software scattered on the internet that I can use!

Of course, if Im actually looking at the monitor, then the success rate for killing monsters would be higher, and I wouldnt needlessly waste bait butmaybe I could grind when Im asleep, or even at my part-time job! And using a bot in the dungeon probably isnt against the dungeons terms of service. This got me thinking that it might actually work, grinding even while in real life by using a bot.

Finally, this hectic and tiring day is finally over!

I was finally able to exhaustedly return home from the family restaurant where I worked. I peeked into my completely unsuspicious apartment through the window of the Japanese style room.  I had told Shizuku what time I was coming home in advance so that she could make sure Ria wasnt in the room when I came back. Shizuku was surprisingly really effective at dealing with Ria. Every time I came home, Ria was always in a good mood. When I tried to consult Shizuku on how she got so good at handling women she just saidIts the knowledge of doujinshi! then boasted and jiggled gleefully. After that, asking her about specifics suddenly became quite scary.

Just in case, I peeked inside the window, and there was no inside the room. The sliding door that was connected to the dining room was also closed. With care, I climbed through the window and then hid inside the closet. I had no doubt that, like always, Shizuku would soon enter the room.

Waiting inside the dark closet kind of makes me sleepy

But before sleeping, I wanted to test out the automatic tool. Luckily, just before I fell asleep, Shizuku came into the room.

Master!

Alright lets swap!

With that, Shizuku hopped into the closet and I came outside. A few moments later Ria also came into the Japanese style room.

What are you doing?

Ah, nothing. Actually, I was just doing some research on how to adjust this artifact described in the forbidden texts

A-Adjusting an artifact described in the forbidden texts? Is it going to be okay?

Of course!

Theres no management or rules in the dungeon, so itll probably be fine.

But, your face looks rather exhausted.

Ahaha, Im fine.

I was just a little sleep deprived.

Im going to head into the dungeon for a bit.

A-Alright.

For the time being, I wanted to check my status and resupply the bait in the dungeon. I went out the front door and quickly checked my status.

[Name] Suzuki Tooru

[Race] Human

[Age] 21

[Job] None

[Level] 9 /

[Stamina] 34 / 34

[Magic] 50 / 50

[Attack] 123

[Defense] 44

[Strength] 19

[Intelligence] 33

[Agility] 20

[Skill] Unlimited Growth, Person Appraisal LV 2 / 10

I leveled up! Hehehe

Level 9 huh. According to my calculations, since my strength raised up by 1, my grip strength should be around 80kg now.  Maybe I could be like a fighting manga and crush an apple with my bare hands. It hasnt even been a week since I moved into this apartment connected to a dungeon. And on top of that, I wonder how much more powerful I can get using the auto clicker tool 24/7. I might become strong enough to take a medal from the Olympics even. Well, even if I was by chance able to do something like that, it would probably really stand out.

I arrived in front of the iron gate. The remaining dry cat food was spread around the entrance. I was able to gather together the remaining food into a pile.

This should do it!

I ran back to my room and sat in my chair in front of the computer. I quickly typed the words into my computers search engine.

Free software, space, auto clicker.

Found some! Like I thought, there was plenty. This one looks good. Theres plenty of good user reviews, and the comment section says that its simple and easy to use too.

Easy to use is the best! Ill try downloading this one.

I tried opening the downloader and the settings screen popped up. Ria had come into the room and was watching from behind me.

What is this?

Oh this? This is kind of like a magical spell that commands the iron gate in the dungeon to open up automatically from inside this room.

T-Thats amazing! How does it work?

I put a command into this artifact called a computer, and it understands and sends a command to the robot arm we installed in the dungeon, and as the command says, it moves which causes the gate to open and close.

Hmm, thats interesting, but why does the door need to open and close automatically?

That reminds me, I havent told Ria about the trap I set for monsters in front of the iron gate yet. I made it yesterday, but because it took a lot of time, I got really tired and slept before talking to Ria. Ill try explaining it lightly.

Y-You did something like that?

Hahaha, yep!

Rias surprised face made me feel really cool, and I accidentally boasted with laughter.

You are truly a great sage! And its amazing to think that you gain levels so quickly!

Huh? Eh, I guess. Well like I said, Im diligently devoted to my studies every day. And the more monsters that are defeated means the safer adventurers will be, right.

I cant exactly say because I dont have an actual job, I can level up as much as I want!. But I feel pretty proud of my accomplishments. But anyway, Id better set up the timing to this thing. Hmm I see, you can assign a specific interval to loop through the clicking. If thats the case, first I will make it so the door is closed, and then one click will open the door after 20 minutes. Based on my previous knowledge, 20 minutes will give the monsters enough time to smell the bait and all gather together. Just by smelling the bait, it will make them hungry and oblivious to whats about to happen.

Then the door will open, and the monsters will start chowing down on the bait, and I can close the door after say, 2 minutes maybe? If they eat all my bait too fast, the trap wont work anymore. 

Ill set up this click cycle to loop indefinitely. Alright! So, with this, my trap will activate every 22 minutes.

After that, I watched the screen absentmindedly. Is the click timing okay? How much bait will I have after so many minutes? But before the first loop even started and I could examine it, I became extremely tired. Maybe it would be best for me to sleep for an hour or so. After that, the trap will have run about 4 times. I set my smartphones alarm clock to go off after an hour and a half.

Hey Ria, sorry but Im a little tired, so Im going to take a quick nap. Ill make some dinner for us after.

Well, I shall keep watch on the monitor then.

Huh? I mean that would help me out, but watching a bot do its work for an hour would probably be pretty boring.

You sure?

Yes. Watching the monitor is rather enjoyable.

Oh really? Then can I ask you to keep a watch on the amount of bait leftover and the types of monsters that come?

Understood! I will keep a detailed report on this artifact!

Ria got fired up and grabbed a notepad and ball pen. Oh, and just so you know, Rias notes are in the other worlds language, so I cant actually read anything she writes. With that, I relaxed and got into bed.
