Ryota begins exploring deeper floors but needs a licence to go below floor five. The licensing examiner forces a sixth floor Steel Slime to spawn which Ryota easily kills to earn his licence. Ryota forces another gorilla to spawn then kills it so he now has two revolvers for different bullets. The Adalberd Group, which corruptly controls Silicon’s sixth floor where rice is gathered, refuses to sell anymore rice until Erza raises the price. Neptune is hired to assassinate them but Ryota defeats them with his new sleep bullets. Clint Gray, the Dungeon Chief of Secro, asks Ryota to help end a dispute over Selen dungeon with Hetero village. Hetero has a monopoly on meat dungeons and Secro on vegetable dungeons but Selen drops both, so he needs Ryota’s skills to temporarily increase the ratio of vegetable drops so Secro can claim Selen and its meat drops as well, ending their reliance on buying meat from Hetero. Ryota takes Emily with him. Camping overnight Ryota discovers even household trash spawns monsters if not burnt properly, but by killing the resulting Frankenstein monster he discovers homing bullets that chase targets if the first shot missed. Arriving at Selen they find the sheer amount of trash generated by so many hunters is becoming dangerous. Ryota sees a fire mage in charge of burning it but realises from her symptoms she is severely overworked, just as she collapses from exhaustion.
