Dungeon Exploring Tickets

Due to the discomfort caused by the individual who had ruined the good mood between him and Farhana, Vasu simply replied with "I'm good," and turned around to look at the portal. It gave him a mysterious feeling that he had never experienced before. Observing the expression on Vasu's face as if the entire world owed him money, the individual awkwardly smiled and attempted to shift the conversation back to business. "Dungeon Manager, I'm here to purchase exploring tickets," Koushik stated calmly.

Vasu continued to stare at the portal and said, "Farhana, sell the tickets, but don't cross the limit in sales. We need to be fair to everyone."

"Okay, Dungeon Manager," Farhana responded. She took out her communication device and instructed the working staff to bring the tickets for sale to guilds and organizations that were interested in exploring the new dungeon portal. Due to the fact that it was a new dungeon portal, the staff under the Dungeon Manager had to print new tickets that were labeled with the coordinates of the current location where the new dungeon portal had opened.

An hour later, the working staff under the Dungeon Manager arrived at the location where the new dungeon portal had opened. They respectfully handed over the freshly printed tickets to Farhana and stepped aside silently.

Farhana approached Koushik after receiving the tickets from the working staff. She stood in front of him and asked, "How many dungeon exploring tickets do you want to purchase, Bloody Claws Guild owner?" She maintained a calm expression on her face.

"I would like to buy 20 dungeon exploring tickets," Koushik said with excitement in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, sir, that's not possible. We can only sell a maximum of 10 dungeon exploring tickets per customer," Farhana said firmly, with a stern look on her face.

Upon hearing Farhana's response, Koushik let out a long sigh with a helpless expression and reluctantly nodded his head. "Okay, give me 10 dungeon exploring tickets," he said while taking out the currency used on planet Lazkar and quickly exchanging it for the tickets. Koushik and his companions then boarded the carriages and departed from the area.

Although he was unable to purchase 20 dungeon exploring tickets, Koushik felt a sense of relief knowing that he had secured 10 tickets. This would allow the higher-level dungeon explorers in his guild to be among the first to explore the new dungeon portal and obtain the best items available upon completion.

After observing the dungeon portal for a few minutes, Vasu turned to Farhana and said, "This area is restricted to citizens and beginner-level dungeon explorers. Please take immediate action to enforce this restriction. I don't want to see another accident like before." He then walked towards the carriage.

"Understood, Dungeon Manager," replied Farhana with a respectful gaze as she watched Vasu's departure.

Vasu nodded in acknowledgement and boarded the carriage. He closed his eyes to rest.

Farhana used the communication device to summon higher-level dungeon explorers to guard the dungeon portal. She also placed signboards in the area to restrict citizens and beginner-level dungeon explorers from getting too close to the portal.

After completing the orders given by Vasu, Farhana slowly walked towards the carriage and boarded it. She gave instructions to the driver to take them back to the organization.

Upon seeing Vasu resting with his eyes closed, she silently took a seat opposite him without disturbing him. The carriage swiftly moved away from the area thanks to the Silver Kelpie's super speed. They soon arrived at the dungeon manager's organization.

Upon arrival at the dungeon manager's organization, various organizations and guilds started to arrive one after another to purchase dungeon exploring tickets from the working staff under the dungeon manager. Vasu and Farhana disembarked from their carriage and entered the organization. After a few minutes, the buying and selling of tickets commenced.

Meanwhile, Vasu sat deep in thought in his office. He reflected on his past life, where he had the opportunity to save someone's life, but it resulted in his death due to his good heart. Now, he was grateful for his immense power but couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if he had been weaker than the monster he faced. Despite being an orphan with no friends in his previous life, he now had an assistant who had caught his eye at first sight. This life was completely different from his previous one, as he no longer had to feel the crushing loneliness he once did.

As he thought about his assistant, her image appeared in his mind, and a smile unconsciously formed on his lips. Suddenly, he was jolted out of his reverie by a voice. "Dungeon manager, all the dungeon exploring tickets for the new dungeon portal have been sold to all the guilds and organizations," said Farhana as she adjusted her simple yet delicate spectacles, her face serious.

As Vasu's fingers delicately brushed against her hair, a shiver ran down her spine, and she felt her heart skip a beat. She couldn't quite understand why this simple gesture had such a profound effect on her. Perhaps it was the intimacy of the moment, or the way he looked at her with those piercing, dark eyes that seemed to see right through her. Whatever it was, she couldn't deny the surge of emotion that swelled within her.

Feeling emboldened, she took a step closer, and Vasu's hand lingered on her hair for a moment longer. It was as if he was trying to memorize every strand, every curve of her face. She wondered if he felt the same inexplicable attraction that she did.

"Farhana, I want to explore the new dungeon portal together with all the other organization's and guild's higher level dungeon explorers," said Vasu in one breath.

Farhana, who was trying her best to control the new feelings arising in her heart for the first time in her life, was taken aback and immediately snapped out of her stupor upon hearing his words.
