CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 176: COMMISSION

In the stone house, Kane looked out the window beside the bed.

Dusk had passed, and the entire sky became dim.

After tidying up, Kane pushed the door open and left the stone house.

He could see many explorers returning from the dungeon on the small town’s streets.

Before the dungeon had appeared, the only inn in the town was very dilapidated and had only four rooms.

Now, Kane could already see three inns, all of which he had never seen before.

Not long after walking, Kane saw Uncle Ge Mu’s house.

At this time, there was a little carrot head at the door of the house, bored and kicking stones.

This was Uncle Ge Mu’s child, little Gemu.

Looking at his appearance, Kane suddenly had a clever idea.

Puts on the cloak over his body, then slipped into the shadow beside him, slowly approaching little Gemu from behind.

"Hey little one, what are you doing?"

Little Gemu was idly watching the stones beneath his feet when he suddenly heard a soft voice from behind and couldn’t help but shiver.

"Ah!" He rolled forward to hide.

Turning his head, he saw it was Kane, who had taken off his hood, standing there laughing at him.

"Haha, Big Brother Kane, long time no see." The look of terror on his face instantly turned into a delighted expression upon seeing Kane.

"Quick, let’s go! Mom is waiting for us."

Saying this, he dragged Kane into the house.

The house was still lit with warm lights, and the arrangement of various furniture remained unchanged, still the familiar smell.

Then a strong aroma wafted over from the kitchen, making Kane’s mouth water.

"Mom heard you were back today, and made lots of delicious food," little Gemu whispered to Kane as he crouched down and whispered in his ear.

Upon hearing the commotion from outside, Auntie Amisha peeped her head from the kitchen.

Seeing it was Kane, she joyfully ran out.

She wiped her apron with her hand, then pressed Kane’s shoulders with both hands, checking his changes.

"Haven’t seen you for months, worried to death about you. Let Auntie see if you have any injuries."

Kane couldn’t help but let Auntie Amisha turn him around with a wry smile.

After examining him a few times without finding any injuries on Kane, Auntie Amisha finally nodded in relief.

"It’s great to see you’re okay now; quickly wash up and sit down. Auntie will have the meal ready soon, just wait a moment."

After saying this, she immediately returned to the kitchen.

Kane familiarly went to the sink, washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table.

In just a little while, Uncle Ge Mu returned home from outside, currently getting help from little Gemu, removing the armor from his body.

Just after removing the armor, he turned around and saw Kane.

"You’re here already, come, sit down, tell Uncle all about your exploration life during this time."

Saying this, he dragged Kane to the dining table to sit down.

Little Gemu also stood beside him, looking at Kane expectantly.

At this time, Auntie Amisha had already brought the food out from the kitchen.

Seeing Uncle Ge Mu, she smacked him on the back of the head: "Kane just came back, and you’re asking so many questions? Can’t you let him rest properly?"

Then she looked at Kane with a kindly expression: "Come, come, eat; these are the dishes you love. I prepared them specially because I heard you were coming back."

As the food was all laid out, the family began their warm dining time under the cozy lights.

Kane reached into his space equipment and pulled out the few bottles of specialty beer that Longbei had given him before leaving.

"Here, Uncle, a dwarf specialty beer given to me by my teammate; absolutely authentic and tasty."

He opened the bottle and handed it to Uncle Ge Mu at the table, then took out two bottles of non-alcoholic beverages from his space equipment, opened them, and handed them to Auntie Amisha and little Gemu.

Uncle Ge Mu took the beer with a joyful face, sniffed it, then poured a mouthful: "Oh, this taste is nice."

Upon hearing that Uncle liked it, Kane took out all the remaining beers from his space equipment and piled them up at his feet.

"Glad you like it."

"Big Brother, big brother, tell us about your adventures, I can’t wait."

Upon hearing his son’s words, Auntie Amisha glared at him and raised her hand to hit him.

Kane quickly stopped her: "It’s okay, Auntie, you know I’m quite happy to talk about these things."

After taking a bite of food and a couple of gulps of beer, Kane cleared his throat.

"Alright, let me tell you about my adventures over the past few months now."

Uncle Ge Mu’s family listened attentively.

As time passed, most of the food on the table was eaten, leaving numerous empty beer bottles.

Kane also began wrapping up his story: "The golden Iron Fist struck the Skeleton Monarch, who was then defeated by our team and finally turned into a heap of ashes."

After hearing Kane’s experiences, Uncle Ge Mu looked intrigued: "That was quite thrilling!"

"Dungeon exploration is too dangerous, Kane, you must be careful in the future," Auntie Amisha said with a fearful expression after hearing Kane’s account.

Little Gemu stood on the chair, swinging his fists into the air: "Big Brother Kane is so cool, I also want to become an explorer!"

Upon hearing her son’s words, Auntie Amisha directly grabbed him and pulled down his pants to start spanking his bottom.

"If you dare become an explorer in the future, I’ll break your legs, are you still going to do it?"

"No more, no more, I won’t do it."

Upon hearing her son’s words, Auntie Amisha let him go.

Little Gemu stood on the ground rubbing his butt, then made a funny face at his mom: "Nah nah nah! I’m going to become an explorer in the future."

After saying this, he turned and ran upstairs without giving any chance for reaction.

"You brat, wait until I spank your bottom today," Auntie Amisha angrily grabbed a stick beside her and chased little Gemu up to the second floor.

Kane smiled watching all this, little Gemu was still as mischievous as ever.

Uncle Ge Mu walked over and patted Kane’s shoulder, then sat in the place beside him.

Picked up the beer from beside him and took a swig: "How long are you planning to rest at home this time?"

Kane also picked up the beer beside him and clinked it with Uncle Ge Mu’s: "I agreed with my companions to rest for a week, and then will begin new explorations."

"Is that so," Uncle Ge Mu sighed while drinking his beer: "I have a little commission I’d like to give you, I wonder if you’d be willing to take it."

"Commission, what kind of commission?"

"There have been quite a few magic beasts appearing in the Laka Forest, even more than before. According to the Mist Council, it’s likely the energy dispersed from the dungeons that these beasts absorbed.

We issued many commissions to the explorers that came, but they seem to have no hunting experience in the forest, very few have been able to hunt even a single magic beast.

But these magic beasts often harm ordinary merchants and residents gathering herbs, causing us a lot of trouble."

"No problem, leave it to me."

After all, with a week’s rest and no good entertainment activities around here, Kane thought he might spend this week bored in his room.

Here comes an entertainment activity now.
