"my, my, you learn quickly, you can call chef Ro, sorry for eating from your pot earlier, we thought you were having an open invitation, I did not know you can eat that much alone". The man who has been teaching Yunan about the culinary arts for a while now introduced himself.
"I am used to my teachers and party barging in like you did, at least you taught so much in exchange thus I have nothing to complain about" Yunan answered while still stuffing his face full of food. The soup he started with has beco a broth and then it beca a hot pot then just a really good blend of food.
"So how can you eat that much without even getting a bulge on your tummy? I feel like all won in the world would love to know that secret" said on of chef Ro's companions, who have ward up to Yunan thanks to his simple personality. "Its a side effect of my armour, it makes my body use up energy much faster than most, but I think I started eating too much when training under my teachers, they made us use up so much energy, we needed to eat all the ti to just be able to keep up with them, so my body is trained to digest as fast as possible to get as much energy from anything that I stuff in my mouth, it's very convenient but it is also troubleso, because I need to eat food full of mana to even feel full, so I do not recomnd such an eating habit".
Another mber stuck her head out "so you say that you have been killing those huge sharks and killer whales before coming to this floor simply because you needed more food?". "Technically that is true, but I think fighting those monsters alone only gave higher expectations of this floor but alas, these crabs are too weak"
"Why don't you stay after the tide rises at night? I heard others say that stronger crabs as big as mountains co out at that ti" another man said to Yunan before voicing a question "how co you know less than you should about this floor?" However, Yunan's answer left him dumbstruck. "My teachers told to just face the unknown, and learn all I can about my opponent during a fight and not before, simply because the information might be wrong, so far they were right about that thod of clearing the dungeon"
"What about your party? Why are you alone?" Another question was asked, this party seed quite interested in Yunan especially since chef Ro was teaching him without restraint. "We et every weekend to have so fun together, but each of them has an organisation and another party they belong to, anwhile I beca a lone wolf, I also do rcenary work now and then, but most of my dungeon clearing is by myself".
After sharing a good al, chef Ro and his party departed from 32nd floor and soon after everyone else except Yunan left the floor, with him being the only soul in the beach he used earth shift make a small room for himself and lie there in ambush for whatever ca out of the ocean. A little bit after the lighting of the floor changed Yunan's detection map went berserk, it was filled with enemies, a lot more than when he was on the rat floor. The red dots moved in the shape of a whirlpool and countless numbers of them passed by in hurry.
Yunan activated his mana Syphon at maximum range and let the genie store the mana tide for later use, since the reserves were only dwindling, a chance to restock was like rain in the middle of a parched desert and with the numbers that were passing by, Yunan only had to let the mana syphon run endlessly while he slept in the hole he made. He let the girls know he would not be returning ho and then went to a half sleep state where he was just alert enough to escape danger.
The tide of crabs returned to the see with the arrival of dawn, leaving behind only a small number of crabs to guard the beach. Yunan woke up and watched all those crabs retreat to the deepest end of the shore. After the light of day filled the floor Yunan got out of his hole and made himself so breakfast, so highly nutritious sandwiches and so black coffee to wake his brain up, not that he needed it, but it was a good thing to keep to mundane routines when one is living alone.
After breakfast Yunan dove into the water to see if he could find so interesting things, but he was disappointed to find nothing but crabs and seaweeds underwater, this kept driving him towards the further end of the floor, until he ca upon a cliff that seed to be from a sword strike that cut the floor in half, at the root of this cliff Yunan found what he was looking for, the cave built into the cliff, it was a very spacious place and kept growing bigger and larger as Yunan waded in killing every crab that dared try to approach him or was close enough to make Yuan feel pressured.
After walking for half the morning Yunan reached the boss room, it was full of chests but no boss, the hidden boss could even escape the search of the sonar, the heat vision and life detection, an idea hit Yunan, if the boss was to only show its face during the night for al ti, then those crabs invading the beach were just trying to feed their ancestor.
Yunan killed his way back to the surface, where he found chef Ro and his party dealing with a crab so he dispatched it for them by sending an ice spear into its mouth and then detonating it dealing lethal damage to the innards of the crab. "What are we gonna cook today chef Ro?" Hollard Yunan nonchalantly as he sat on the corpse of the downed crab. " I will do the cooking", answered chef Ro "but I need you to do sothing for , I have a restaurant that deals only in cooking monster at, and after eating whatever we ended up with yesterday I want to add in crab at to the nu, so I need at least 100 of them, for trial cooking and any more will be paid for with the sa price, how about that for a job? The only requirent is the bodies must be intact".
Yuanan nodded his head "Alright then, how many can your rings keep in storage?", "About 1000 give or take a dozen, why?" Yunan did not respond but used his detection to isolate 1000 crabs and used his voice manipulation to only taunt those ones, he then roared out his draconic taunt accidentally stunning everyone in the vicinity, even the crabs, and within a mont, a tide of crabs rushed towards Yunan from all sides. Yunan used integration to turn drops of the paralytic poison into hair-breadth ice needles that were sent out like a fog into the incoming horde, each crab would fall as soon as it reached close enough to touch Yunan with its pincers before falling down and stop moving, and like this a hill was created around Yunan within minutes, after waiting ten minutes for the sake of safety Yunan told chef Ro to collect his bounty.
