The adventurers were still having trouble on Zinc's tier three floors. This was because the majority of adventurers were just kids and challenged themselves on the tier one floors thinking it’s gonna be easy then unsurprisingly dying.
The more experienced veterans or higher ups such as level 50 or 60 adventurers could tackle up to his tier three floors but not kill the boss as the boss was around level 75.
A large raid party of level 70s challenged Zinc’s boss and won, but they didn’t dare to go any further because they knew that the enemies they faced would be much tougher.
Zinc had also figured out the ranking system for the adventuring guild by snooping on members' conversations. The lowest rank was bronze and it was level 10 and over then you had silver which was level 25 and over after that gold came next and it was level 50 and over. The last two were platinum and mithril platinum rank adventures with the highest any normal citizen or aspiring adventurer aimed to be. Mithril was almost a myth, a legend among platinum ranks, the over 100 legends that were grandmaster mages, hero’s, saviours and saints.
The trio of delvers we’re still going strong and we’re around level 49 and just needed one more boss fight to level them up before they started going up to my tier three floors. I had a few bets that they would get to my tier 4 floors.
The trio had turned into a squad as they had gotten a new member, a spirit archer.

Zinc was also working hard on making more floors, Zinc didn’t have enough mana to make a tier five floor so he had to conserve a lot of mana and that meant not making any floors, however Zinc could still design creatures and a boss for a few of his floors.
One of such floors was a giant dragon fight and that was the only monster and also the boss. The huge beast was level two hundred and fifty the reason Zinc knew that was he had already built some of the floors not all and he wasn’t ready to release them. After Zinc had built all of the tier five floors he would go on to the next element which he already decided was water and he already had a few ideas and half finished drafts.
The tier five for steam was a giant steam world which was a place stuck in the clockwork age and the main quest line was to get rid of all the smog that the machines produced.
The epitome of the weird eldritch monster tier four floor was an abyssal sea, which Zinc decided when water was made this floor would be attainable by going through water.
Purple fire upgraded into a neon green coloured flame, something so hot it could evaporate any liquid in an instant and not leave any fumes, consuming it all, which coincidentally is the same thing ants do consume everything in their path and leave empty wastelands, devoid of any life that is not the ants.
Zinc also made an offshoot of magma, obsidian then is tier 4 form, the obsidian spikes biome and designed a tier 5 version the obsidian titanic which was a ship you needed to stop before it crashed into a giant obsidian spike. It was difficult because the captain and the passengers didn’t want to leave or change the course and if you manage to convince them the spike turns into a Godzilla made of obsidian.
