"How is our catch?" Clovis asked.
"Not bad for the first day." Kanaria looked. All of them had become Tier 1, so they expected much more than what they usually got as Tier 0 explorers.
"Not bad? Do you know that your accomplishments are much greater than those of other Tier 1 explorers?" Melody’s eyebrows twitched. She had become the operator for a lot of parties, so she knew a lot of their output.
And she had never seen a party as ridiculous as these three. She pointed at the loot and said, "You got about three times the usual Tier 1 party. And I have to tell you that they are usually a six-man party."
"…" Clovis looked at Kanaria, saying, "It’s not that bad, right?"
"Yeah. We should have no problem getting three hundred thousand at this rate, four hundred with the mission reward and other stuff. And since we don’t have a lot to split among a lot of members, we can get about a hundred thousand each." Kanaria explained. "Of course, I have removed the portion of pay for Melody."
"That’s good." Clovis nodded, satisfied. Although he had to split them later, he would be the one selling all this. So, he could use this money to increase the number of visits or even unlock a new store.
That was why he became a bit excited. There would be a lot of things to do once they returned.
"…" Melody was completely speechless. On the one hand, she was tired because of their hunting speed which ended up causing more beasts to be killed. On the other hand, it also meant that she got a lot from this exploration.
Normally, she would only get about fifteen to twenty-five thousand for an exploration, which allowed her to be comfortable for a while. But with this group, she could get triple that number with the reward alone. If only she got a portion of the essence share, that number would increase tremendously.
Melody shook her head helplessly. It seemed that her greed was taking over her briefly, making her forget that she just wanted to laze around in her house and live comfortably instead of hunting so hard like them.
"By the way, what is our objective for tomorrow? Do we have any Tier 2 that can be turned in?" Clovis asked.
"No Tier 2 yet. From what I can see, there are two Tier 1 beasts, but they won’t give a lot of money." Melody opened the map. "First of all, we have covered this area."
Melody showed the south side of the city in red. After that, she marked the west and north as green. "I believe we can smoothly cover this area tomorrow. And we’ll take care of the last side on the third day before returning to the city through the east gate. What do you think?"
Kanaria nodded her head. "I don’t have a problem with this plan."
"In that case, let’s do it according to this plan." Clovis agreed with them before thinking about something else. There was something bothering him.
Kanaria noticed the slight frown but didn’t say anything. On the other hand, Jay was training on the side, as he didn’t care much about the discussion.
Melody said, "In that case, you guys can think of the route. I will adjust the data accordingly."

"Okay." Clovis glanced at Kanaria. "So, how is the night rotation this time?"
"I feel like I’m going to argue with her if we are together, so I will be on the lookout with you tonight. After four hours, Jay and Melody will be on the lookout." Kanaria glared at Melody. "That should be fine, right?"
"I want to sleep…" Melody looked away. "…is what I want to say. But I will probably sleep through the night. However, I will add a few sensors and an alarm, so it will alert us if there are any beasts around."
Kanaria’s eyebrows twitched, but Clovis instantly put his fingers on Kanaria’s forehead and gently pinched it. "Alright. That’s fine."
"Clovis. Are you sure you can let her do whatever she wants?"
"It’s fine." Clovis nodded. "If you don’t like it, I don’t mind being awake all night. It’s my responsibility anyway."
"But…" Kanaria looked at Clovis’s expression and ended up having no energy to argue with Clovis. "Fine."
Melody observed Clovis’s movement. She had been interested in this weird man, who actually allowed her to do everything she wanted.
Unfortunately, it would be weird if she was asking him why he treated her this way, so she kept that curiosity in her heart, thinking that she would probably not meet them again after this.
"Alright. You can get some rest first." Clovis waved his hand, treating it as nothing big.
Because they had a car, they could bring two tents, so the boys and the girls didn’t have to share anymore.
Melody didn’t hesitate to accept that offer, leaving Kanaria and Clovis alone.
Since it wasn’t time yet, Clovis chose to leave. "Sorry. I’m going up for now."
They were using an empty building for the night, so he wanted to get some fresh air on the rooftop.
"Do you mind if I accompany you?" Kanaria asked with an unsure tone.
"Sure." Clovis didn’t reject it. Kanaria was concerned about the change in Clovis’s expression earlier, so this should be a good time to ask.
However, her mind was distracted a bit when Clovis opened the door leading to the rooftop.
The sky was actually filled with a lot of stars like shining gems. In the city, she couldn’t see any stars because of the light, but a fallen city like this had no running electricity, allowing them to actually see the real dark sky.
"Hahaha. No matter how many times I see this, it’s truly beautiful. Unlike the subterranean world, we can see the stars from here." Clovis looked at the sky like a kid. It was just pure admiration.
But this was also the reason why Kanaria decided to ask, "Clovis… Are you worried about something that might happen during this exploration?"
