Although I Am Only Level 1, but with This Unique Skill, I Am the Strongest

Chapter 31

Chapter 31 – Rice Rebellion

First thing in the morning, I hunted my usual income of 40K Piro worth of bean sprouts and am pushing the Magic Cart inside the trading shop.

The first thing I felt when going inside the shop, I noticed something weird going on.

Business is going on as usual, but the workers behind the counter are having a serious discussion right now. There are also several groups of adventurers having a difficult-looking expression.

As I was wondering what’s with this mood, I went to the all so familiar counter, and tried talking to Elza who was behind the counter.

[Hello~]

[Ah! Ryouta-san.]

[What exactly is happening?]

[To tell you the truth…..A strike is happening right now.]

[Str…?]

This is the first time I’ve heard of an English word when coming into this world.

[Do you know what strike means?]

[No, not really.]

I shook my head while immediately answering back to her.

In actuality I do understand what she meant, but I thought that maybe this world uses that word to bring about a different meaning, thus I act that I do not know what it means.

[Then, you’ve heard about a dungeon named Silicon right?]

[Aah.]

[At the dungeon’s sixth floor, the monsters in it are the only one that drops a grain of rice in Shikuro.]

[As usual, it’s a wonder to hear about a monster dropping a single grain of rice.]

[Eh?]

[I’m sorry, just talking to myself. So? What’s wrong with the sixth floor?]

[That place is the territory of the Adelbert’s. Occasionally, there are people such as this group who monopolizes one part of the dungeon within their friends by teaming up together to form a gang.]

[I don’t think I’ve heard of this situation before.]

[You..you’re right, you know that Nihonium Dungeon has only just been risen right. Since that dungeon doesn’t drop anything, the Adelbert gang decided to make a move. Seeing that the sixth floor of Silicon is the only floor in Shikuro that drops rice, they decided to seize that opportunity to sell it at a high price.]

[Right, now I understand….]

[When everyone heard of a new dungeon appearing, we were anticipating for it. Though monopolizing a drop will cause the market to collapse. It is rather unfortunate….]

Elza showed a shabby, disappointed expression.

Looking at it closely, while glancing at the workers and adventurers, they are also talking about the Albert’s.

Nihonium is indefinite of drops——But because I was lucky with my drop stats, I could get drops outta it, but in return it influenced others.

It’s a rather interesting world to catch up—was what I thought before I heard of this news.

Everyone is troubled at the fact that someone is using the rice to monopolize the market and can’t find a way to stop it.

[The other famous people in town have started to make their move to stop this matter, however, probably because Adelbert is a large group, people have no choice but to accept the influx in price for rice.
