Since Cade was unable to increase the new stat of his equipment using the magic crystals, he deduced that he needed to level up to be able to do that.
Every level, Cade can use any level 1 magic crystal to increase the stats of his linked equipment. He can use up to 5 level 1 magic crystal to level up his linked equipment. If he used a level 5 magic crystal, it was counted as 5 level 1 magic crystal.
Cade had confirmed it once before that no matter the grade of the magic crystal, they will all will only be able to increase the stat by 10 points. So, for every leveled up, Cade can only put 50 stat points to his linked equipment.
With nothing else to do at the moment, Cade checked the puzzle piece he auctioned earlier and it was successfully auction at a high price. Cade put on the next puzzle piece for auction and disconnected from the internet.
With all of that done, Cade decided to rest for the day. He will enter the slime dungeon the next day early in the morning. The dungeon was nearby and he will only need a few minutes of walking to arrive at the dungeon.

Meanwhile, at Planet Draor, in front of the time limit dungeon, a few people stood there. They were guarding the dungeon portal so that they will be able to know any new changes that happened to the dungeon immediately.
There were live cameras too but the camera had limited capability. It might be able to record everything but there were many things it won't be able to do.
A lot of equipment were there too to measure the energy changes happened to the portal and everything else that happened so that they can act immediately.
At the moment, no one that went in had come out. Many people had concluded that anyone that go in won't be able to come out and maybe after they completed the dungeon that they will be able to come out.
None of the explorers that went inside the time limit dungeon had came out and thus, there were zero information about the inside of the time limit dungeon.
As the guard were guarding the dungeon portal, suddenly the system sent out a new notification to them. As they read the notification, they immediately reported it to their superior.
Apparently, only the guard that stood near the portal got the notification. When the superior got the report, he was shocked because the system told the guards to find more people to enter the dungeon immediately especially those with strong fire skills.
The superior asked the other guard if they got the same notification and they said they got the same one.
"The system had never done this before. The new dungeon rules, the new updated system and now the system gave this kind of notification," said the superior. He did not know if he should follow what the system said as he was a bit doubtful about it but he still reported it to someone higher than him.
As his superior got the news, he was shocked too and he was thinking of something and he decided to follow what the system asked. With that, a new news appeared and it shocked the whole universe.
Golden Dragon Family was looking to hire explorers with fire skills in between level 20 to level 30 to enter the time limit dungeon.
They offered to pay high amount of money and to take care of their family if they were to lose their life inside the time limit dungeon.
Many people started applying for that because the Golden Dragon Family was known to have never broken their promise. To all the authorities on other planets however, thought that it was weird that they suddenly asked for something that specific.
Explorers with fire skills. Did they find out something new about the time limit dungeon? They all wondered about that and decided to send some people to Planet Draor to spy on them.
Any new information about the time limit dungeon was super valuable as it pertained the fate of the universe. None of them had ever once closed the time limit dungeon and they all lost their planet when the time limit dungeon appeared on their planet.
The Golden Dragon Family wanted to release the news about the system notification but decided to hold on to that because they cannot confirm anything regarding the notification.
If that notification was a trap, it will be super dangerous but they had faith in the system and decided to believe the system.
With all the application came, they only chose those of A grade and above explorers. The Golden Dragon Family did not specify the grade of the explorers they wanted because they wanted to see how many will applied.
Luckily for them, a lot of A grade and S grade with fire skills applied and they chose all of them. Everyone that was chosen were allowed to use the teleporter and the cost of that will be paid by the Golden Dragon Family.
News of the recruitment were trending on social media as people were discussing the sudden moved made by the Golden Dragon Family. Not only the authorities of other planets but people around the internet had also thought that the family had found something new about the time limit dungeon.
Some of them tried to press the Golden Dragon Family for clarification but they ignored them. At the moment, the most important thing was to follow what the system wanted.
Many strong explorers with fire skills gathered in front of the time limit dungeon on Planet Draor and after a short briefing from the Golden Dragon Family's representative, they started entering the dungeon.

Cade woke up early as he wanted to enter the slime dungeon as early as possible. He ate a simple breakfast and saw the trending news about Golden Dragon Family.
Cade did not think much of that but he was happy if they really did find out something and took the initiative to complete the dungeon, the chance of Cynthia to survive the dungeon will increase.
He prayed that whatever they were trying to do, they will succeed. He was worried about Cynthia but he was also worried about the fate of their universe.
Two planets of his star system had vanished and with only eight planets left on the star system, it will not take long before it was Planet Dineon's turn next.
If the Golden Dragon Family succeed, there will be more information about the time limit dungeon will be found and that will increase the chance of everyone to succeed in closing more of the time limit dungeon.
The Golden Dragon Family was the first one that had ever made this move to deal with the time limit dungeon and that gave a slight hope to humanity to succeed in closing the time limit dungeon.
As Cade were reading about the news, he finished his breakfast and it was time to enter the slime dungeon.
Cade had two goals of entering the slime dungeon and leveled up was not one of them. He will loiter around the first floor to complete the slime language bloodline skill puzzle pieces to communicate with the slime if the skill really existed.
He wanted to know why the slime suddenly turned hostile towards human and he hoped to find out the reason. He quite like the slime he met before and he knew that they were a peace-loving creature.
Suddenly turned hostile meant something must have had happened and he wanted to know the reason. If it was human's fault, he thought he will try to apologize or do something about it.
However, if it had something to do with something else like they were possessed or something, he will try his best to cure them.
That was his first goal. His second goal was simply to complete the figure puzzle pieces of the slime and got himself a few free stat points. He was in urgent need of them as the state of the universe was too dangerous.
He was too weak and he did not want to end up like before when he was knocked out in one hit. When he thought of that, he did not get any news about the humanoid toad.
He wondered if the government found out something about the humanoid toad. If they did find something, they should share it with them because that humanoid toad was too dangerous and everyone needed to know about them for their safety.
If they entered the big tongue toad dungeon and met another of that toad, without any preparations, they can immediately lose their lives. Cade had experienced with that and he knew how scary it was.
He made plenty of preparations to enter the slime dungeon as he was afraid that there will suddenly appear a humanoid slime in the dungeon.
Who knows? Anything can happen now with all the things that was happening in the universe.
