When adventurers began to filter into the dungeon the next morning, Violet was still busy sorting through her system notifications from the past few months. There had, apparently, been quite a number of locals, adventurers, and invading [Monsters] that had come to visit her. None of them must have made it past the second floor, though, as the uncomfortable feeling of someone getting too close to the dungeon core room hadn't awoken her.

What was worse, the number of Humans remains and bone weapons made it fairly clear that a large number of the non-dungeon entities had been dying. Since there was no longer a necromancer sending the undead after her, she couldn't help but assume the worst. A small panic attack had overtaken her when she first realized the extent to which her dungeon was killing people off. How were they dying? She had no way of knowing that, she could only piece things together through the tributes log.

There was certainly a lot to go through as well. Despite the one month she likely didn't have a single dungeon visitor, she had still managed to earn 1,086 DP from repeats and another 2,825 dungeon points from new [Items] and [Base Resources]. That had brought her total up from the previous 2,511 DP to an incredible 6,422 dungeon points. The sheer variety of the tributes was equally as impressive.

For new seasonings, she had received: sweet basil, lemon basil, globe basil, lemon balm, pineapple sage, chocolate mint, orange mint, bay leaf, cilantro, chives, lovage, anise, perilla leaves, garlic mustard, amaranth, sea salt, pink rock salt, green peppercorns, and black peppercorns. Violet supposed this was largely due to the number of plants she had incorporated into her first few floors. It had likely given her a certain reputation that was going to be difficult to escape from. However, that was a problem she could put off, for now.

She had also received a number of foods including: apple pie, iced gingerbread, mini marzipan cakes, dried figs, dried currants, strawberry tarts, caraway seed cookies, sugared almond fritters, sugared funnel cakes, baked pears, apple cake, elderflower custard, cinnamon rolls, blawmanger, roasted vegetables. Since she already had access to a lot of ingredients, the only new ones were cinnamon, white peppercorns, saffron, rose water, figs, currants, lemons, caraway seeds, dried elderflowers, chicken, rice, cabbage, leeks, and peas.

Violet had never had any reason to research what sort of foods people ate in medieval times, but she still got the distinct impression that these foods were from a different time than her own. Many of the recipes certainly sounded similar to ones she had seen in modern-day, but foraged ingredients like elderflowers and names like 'blawmanger' were a dead giveaway. Actually, funny enough, the strange name was just a dish of chicken, rice, almonds, and spices. It wasn't nearly as strange once you knew what it was, but no one would use a name like that where she was from.

Outside of edible things, there had also been some magic crystals and minerals. These had included an earth crystal, a water crystal, an ice crystal, charcoal, a granite tile, a shale pot, a limestone pavestone, a sandstone stepping stone, and a blue calcite ring. There wasn't anything of particular value like emeralds or rubies, but that seemed fitting considering the sorts of adventurers who were showing up to the dungeon. Already a few locals and adventurers were in the dungeon alongside Amara and Solas. All of them were below C-rank, which meant it was unlikely they would be able to afford such luxury [Items].

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Thanks to Tobias's party passing on her request for beautiful [Items], she had also received a ton of different flowers. It was nice to see people listen to her requests, but she was definitely going to need something besides plants soon. Most of the flowers were the sort you'd see in a flower shop or a garden and included: tree Peonies, moutan Peonies, french Marigolds, signet marigolds, red-crescent marigolds, waterlily dahlias, oakleaf hydrangeas, climbing hydrangeas, ashy hydrangeas, silverleaf hydrangeas, viola pansies, solar flare pansies, colossus pansies, purple coneflowers, yellow coneflowers, parrot tulips, lady tulips, garden tulips, common zinnias, desert zinnias, tatarian aster, sea aster, aromatic aster, bearded iris, yellow iris, japanese iris, and cemetery iris.

Honestly, Violet still had to wonder why the dungeon system classified all cheeses as 'cheese' without any differentiation between the types yet nearly everything else was always specific. She didn't really want to complain too much about it, though. It would be a real shame if her system made an alteration that led to her getting fewer dungeon points. She had most certainly learned her lesson after getting hard locked into a cute dungeon theme. Her slimes weren't as bad as she had thought they would be, but butterflies certainly weren't as helpful as wasps might be. She could only assume such a useless, nonlethal [Trap] was a result of her initial request.

Finally, the last category of tributes is equipment. A few pieces were especially nice with new enchantments, which had been added to her [Base Resources] list, but most were basic and cheap weaponry and armor. The full list included: unbreaking - protection enchanted steel pavise shield, wooden buckler shield, rebound enchanted iron targe shield, green mages robes, red mage's robes, iron gauntlets, iron chestplate, iron grieves, padded cloth helmet, leather gauntlets, leather greaves, wooden quarterstaff, leather whip, flame enchanted steel scimitar, wooden blow gun, wooden longbow, flint arrows, iron arrows, and flame enchanted steel arrows.

It made sense that the armor she was getting wasn't something like mythril with half a dozen different enchantments. She'd likely have to wait until she had, at least, B-rank adventurers before she'd get anything truly impressive in that regard. Still, it wasn't like she planned to include armor or weapons in her challenge rewards. Violet much preferred to have more customized options that weren't likely to be very common outside of the dungeon. Besides, she had to work within her mana limits. Even if regular dungeon traffic meant her mana would constantly refill, she still couldn't summon anything worth more than her 150 MP max limit.

Speaking of, what would she be able to make with 1,250 MP? That's what her limit would be once she unlocked her final floor, but she could already do so much with her current limit. A 100 Units magic bag only cost 100 mana points. Surely no one needed a magic bag that could store the equivalent weight of a baby elephant, right? Deciding to set such thoughts aside, Violet opened her [Guest List] skill, determined to figure out how so many people had died in the last few months. While she didn't want anyone to make it to her dungeon core room, it was also important that there wasn't some sort of balancing issue with her dungeon That would just scare people away from her dungeon.
