Shye's eyes blinked calmly as he stared at the easy-to-complete mandatory quest.
His subtle and seasoned hand movements—as swift as a hummingbird yet as delicate as a butterfly—allowed him to access the system and check the recently posted mandatory quest without his party members finding out.
He had been doing this for years. It was nearly impossible to catch him.
However, despite his unbothered exterior, Shye was inwardly fuming, his heart ablaze in anger. His attention wasn't on the mandatory quest at all.
'That damned peeping old bastard! I should've known he had been watching my every move!' he raged internally.
The old man could have spied on him whenever he was with Shirley!
'I'll confront that old bastard the next time we meet... If he had the nerve to spy on me like a damned pervert... I'll make sure to kill him one day...' Shye swore inwardly.
Sanada, who he once viewed as his benefactor, turned out to be a manipulative fraudster.
He could never trust the old bastard again. Not without the assistance of an orb of truth, at least.
'For now, the mandatory quest comes first.'
Turning around, he faced his party members.
Three of them were ganging up on Rai Hou, who was trying to patiently explain to the idiot and the two cowards that it would be better to clear the ninth floor first.
"Let's rest here for ten hours."
They were way ahead of schedule so there was no need for them to rush.
After all, taking the time to rest properly and care for their bodies would ensure they were in peak condition, which would, in turn, help them perform at their best in battle.
In a high-level combat scenario, a split millisecond or millimeter could determine one's fate, making lack of sleep extremely lethal.

Everyone already knew their roles when setting up camp.
Hence, in just a few minutes, the tents stood sturdy, the sleeping bags were laid out on the floor, and the campfire flames were ablaze.
A peaceful adventurer camp scene straight out of fantasy books.
Unfortunately, the adventurers weren't at ease with one another. Dalton, Walter, and Freeze had set up their sleeping bags far from the group, each doing their own thing.
The brutish ape kept his weapon close, the wussy stickman read a book, and the inept scout was on sentry duty.
Meanwhile, the reserved Mira stayed inside her tent the entire time.
Only Shye and Rai Hou occasionally chatted, building a rapport like experienced and astute adventurers do.
Despite most of them not liking one another, the atmosphere was quite cozy.
After an hour, the extermination party members began to fall asleep, except for Freeze, who was replaced by Walter six hours later.
Rai Hou volunteered to be the second sentry, however, Shye insisted that Walter replace Freeze.
After all, he wouldn't need to fight anytime soon.
After ten hours, the extermination party—well rested and ready for action, tidied up.
It was time for them to resume conquering the dungeon's ninth floor.
"Everyone, we will thoroughly check every nook and cranny of the ninth floor, so expect to spend a considerable amount of time here. Be sure to keep any items you find; we might need them later."
