Our characters started working on growing food in dungeons, since stuff in dungeon resets. They succeeded in this experiment and found out infinitely respawning wheat. Great, end of world hunger right? Nope, they are concerned about screwing up "grain futures" so kept this on the down low and working on patenting the process. They solved the world hunger and sitting on it to not disturb the stock market.

And no it's not like they have moral or philosophical issues on releasing information as long as it benefits them. Since they released party feature of dungeon cards which includes untrackable telepathy between party members. Which immediately caused people to cheat in exams.

Oh and that cute early part where they experimented on which chemical would work on slimes? That was a fluke. No chemical works on slimes like that. That chemical only worked because they believed it would work. (Which makes zero sense btw because the way they learn this is when they used another chemical very similar to the one they used earlier. So by all means that chemical should also work because they should expect and therefore believe it should work. So yeah this story is in a "Clap your hands if you believe" universe now.).

If you have mining skill enemies start dropping stuff. But here is the catch a floor of dungeon drops whatever first person with mining gets forever. So if first guy gets iron everyone else gets iron forever. If first guy gets random gem then that floor drops random gem. How is that determined? Well it's somewhere between what you want/what you expect/what were you thinking.

They got summon hellhounds. These dogs can make pull people into shadowverse and faint them without any long term damage, switch places between each other inside and outside dungeon instantly, can keep spare clothes inside their shadowverse so that they can apparate away Keigo inside let them change clothes and get out. They can stop high velocity bullets. So what I am saying is they are not really hellhounds, they are plot whatever you need cards.

so I can give this cool and dangerous action scene that makes everyone goes "OH THAT'S SO SICKENINGLY AWESOME! WHO ARE THESE GUYS, REALLY?" - okay, next one!

Despite having so much question unanswered (like, can't other country just pressured MC for acquiring another orb? Again? He definitely knows where to get one), but author seemingly doesn't want his MC to be harassed like that, so we get to next problem asap. In which, MC and his friend in one of his REVOLUTIONAIRE BREAKTHROUGH THAT ROCKS ENTIRE WORLD creates serious problem. And of course MC and friend have impending solution, that, an NPC said 'will makes them savior of the society, but of course they wouldn't want to be called that.' and I had decide to quit it altogether. I just cannot stomach it anymore.

Near the end of an early chapter, the Main Character does a bit of foreshadowing, something like "There was no way we could have known the consequences of our actions, nor could anyone else." (something along those lines, not verbatim) Yet, for anyone with average intelligence, to think of the consequences of the actions they took would have been simple. Not complicated at all, really. Yet, the author expects us to believe that the two protagonists are geniuses. If they had just sold one water magic orb for 80 million, they'd have the funds they needed without drawing any unnecessary attention and they'd have time to power level safely and then do whatever plans they wanted once they were strong enough. Instead, they went the roundabout way and earned much more, but revealed themselves to everyone important. Next, the author expects us to believe that the Japanese government, and all other governments aren't going to break laws to go after the "technology" that allows orbs to be saved indefinitely. All because the protagonists say "it was luck, a coincidence" during the skill orb handover. In the real world, after the sale of the first skill orbs, they'd have found themselves confined in a dimly lit room with interrogators, whether they were from the Japanese government or any other interested government. The author downplays the consequences and expects us to just believe it.

The protagonists are supposed to be researchers. Yet, later, when they start seriously dungeon diving, they seem to skip checking skill orb selections for every monster. But for some reason, the author loves to insert needlessly detailed explainations everywhere, like exactly where some character is, is going and which direction they decide to turn and on and on.

At this point they have revealed the storage to the JDA, and this obviously cemented assumptions in the government minds about how the auctions are possible. Sure the entire world does not know yet, but the JDA does. Even if their assumptions are wrong since Making and Vault are the keys.

Russia clearly went active hostile before the appraisal announcement
