A certain thread on the anonymous message board gained momentum due to a new piece of information.

It seems a stairway has been discovered in the Kanezawa Farm.

>7 Srsly? Did someone capture it or something?

9  Unknown Adventurer ID:fdewsah

It apparently appeared out of nowhere. In the vicinity of the entrance to boot, lmao.

10 Unknown Adventurer ID:seoffur

Ha? In the vicinity of the entrance? LOL
Liar hahaha.

11 Unknown Adventurer ID:fdewsah

I mean, it is real, lol.

12 Unknown Adventurer ID:csxfrev

Did someone ascend the stairway?

13 Unknown Adventurer ID:fdewsah

It seems to go down, and not up.

14 Unknown Adventurer ID:sdgresx

I heard something about that as well.
Btw, it appears there are equipment even stronger than the Black Iron sword down below.

15 Unknown Adventurer ID:skdeiwsj

>14 Your source?

An adventurer acquaintance.

An adventurer acquaintance, pfft.
Give us a picture as evidence.

The thread went haywire with a pleasant vibe. By the way, 14 to 16 are all my posts.
I’m afraid to say, but no human has reached the treasure chests in the basement, but as a matter of fact, equipment more superior than the Black Iron Series—one Silver spear has been put inside one of the treasure chests.
I plan to give this item to a riajuu who really likes SNS.
And, the main point of this time’s expansion was — the location of the stairs.
Placing the stairs in the innermost part is the typical theory for average dungeons, but I deliberately set it up right next to the entrance.
The reason is to entice the high-leveled humans to go downstairs without pointlessly killing all of my poor weaker subordinates on the first floor.
It’s just an assumption, but high-leveled humans have a lot experience points.
It’s a compartmentalization in order to allow the dark elves waiting behind me to earn experience. The objective is to offer a farm that’s still as safe as usual for the low-leveled humans while also providing a farm that can be immediately accessed by the high-leveled humans.
After that, my clever information manipulation (posting by sock-puppeting) succeeded, and although it was just a few, even some humans exceeding level 3 started to invade my Domain.
On the second floor, I have deployed goblins and wolves from the start of the passage.
If the humans had already reached level 3, then they are used to fighting. Half-assed combat forces will only end up becoming easy prey for experience points.
This floor’s concept is to shave down the stamina with goblins and wolves, who specialize in group battles as a starter, and then finish them off with the elite unit.
I repeatedly did many tests to keep an appropriate survival rate. I tried to adjust the equipment, types and numbers of the deployed subordinates.
It’s quite complicated…
The adjustment was a lot more difficult than I had imagined. The main cause for that is the strength of the invading humans.
It’s unknown how much stronger the human’s status becomes when their levels go up from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3, but should I blame it on their skill or mental growth? The humans became powerful, going beyond their status’.
To be precise, they have lost any and all hesitation to kill my subordinates. It reached the point that they got used to battle—to bloodshed.
In the end, I got stuck with dispatching fully-equipped kobolds, my new combat force, the dark elves, and even the cheat goblins, which could be called a treasure, each time.
Eventually, after a life and death struggle, humanity’s survival rate reached the dangerous level of less than 50%.
Shit…at this rate I will lose my status as a『Farm』dungeon.
According to the information gathered in the net, troublesome human groups, which are called by nicknames such as 『Braves』『Heroes』 or 『Hardcore Party』 – supported by the government or large companies – existed.
They are elite parties, who offer their all to capture dungeons—liberating the inviolable areas in various places under the noble mission of 『Humanity’s Survival』. If a dungeon is regarded as a『Farm』, it won’t be considered as their target with the help of the public opinion, but…
I will be troubled if a 『Hardcore Party』 comes…
I was tormented by such anxieties, but those worries were swept away by an unexpected incident.
That incident being a long-awaited riajuu-like youth being “rewarded” the Silver spear.
I, who knew the 12 young invaders were getting carried away with their victories shouting “Yay, lol”, ordered my subordinates to cut corners. The chosen youths splendidly arrived at the treasure chest and obtained the Silver spear.
And then, at the entrance to my Domain, they thrust the silver-shining spear into the sky and posted it on SNS to brag right away.
The youth danced wildly. It seems to be the first time a C-rank equipment has appeared in a treasure chest. Society showed the pictures taken by the youth on the news every day.
The power of the Silver spear obtained by the youth is truly dreadful. The youth, who was level 2, grew to level 4 within the blink of an eye. Once again it demonstrated the importance of equipment to the world.
Or rather, that “Yay! lol”-kun was level 2?
—!?
He was level 2?
I came up with a certain plan.
Currently, the highest level a human has reached is 11. However, that person is a foreigner. In Japan, the ace of the 『Hardcore Party』, which is supported by the government, is level 8. If it’s the level of the local heroes, the highest level is 6.
Currently, thanks to the blessing of “Yay! lol”-kun, my Domain is always fully occupied, and even high-level humans invade from time to time, aiming for a Silver spear.
Generally speaking, high-level humans were troublesome. To be even more precise, they caused a large deficit in CP.
The ones somehow able to deal with them are the fully-equipped kobolds. The wolves and goblins are being mowed down like grass though… If I deploy the same number of kobolds fully-equipped with Silver spears, the battles will advance advantageously, but if they are defeated, the lost CP becomes extremely large.
If possible, I’d prefer it if the humans invading my Domain were level 3 and below.
Accordingly, I diligently start preparing for information manipulation once again.
Concretely, I changed the contents of the treasure chests depending on the humans invading. I give Silver spears to level 2 humans. If they are level 3, I give them equipment of the Black Iron Series. To level 4 humans, I give Iron Series equipment and to level 5 and beyond wooden swords.
Of course I didn’t provide them to all invaders. To the utmost, I adjusted the equipment to be randomized.
In addition, I manipulate information behind the scenes by freely using the anonymous message board.

『The treasure chests of the Kanezawa 『Farm』 seem to drop superior items for low levels and trash for high levels.』

At first the credibility was low and it was simply treated as a joke, but a level 5 human, who obtained a wooden sword, posted a rage comment on SNS. On the contrary, a lucky boy, who obtained a Silver spear, posted a delightful comment on SNS. Due to that, my hoax had a trace of truth to it.
As a result, adding the huge contribution of the 『Farm Protection Association』, my Domain was mainly invaded by level 3 humans and below ever since.
