Chapter 92 - Ch 92 : Subsidiary Dungeon

A few days later, Ray was sitting in his own Dungeon.

The business matters had been done, and the orphanage was no longer in a state where it lacked money.

However, Ray's face was not in a happy mood. Instead, there was a frown in his expression.

" I need to be stronger soon.."

After dealing with the matters related to the orphanage, Ray was now free and could focus on getting stronger.

The last Dungeon raid might be going smoothly, but there was no guarantee that the same strategy could work twice.

In fact, Ray was pondering about how to increase the difficulty of the Dungeon just under one month.

The next Dungeon Raid should be scheduled after one month, and Ray must use this chance to level up himself and his monsters.

" At least level 30... The enemies should be around level 40 or something, so I should be at least level 30."

He opened his eyes and opened the DM system tab.

Ray had finished today's Daily Dungeon and mission, so actually there was nothing left he could do inside the Dungeon.

A few days had passed, but Ray's level had not increased yet. The difficulties of raising his level had increased exponentially from before, and Ray had no confidence to advance to level 30 in just one month if he was not to do anything special.

" System, is there a way to quickly raise my level?"

[ DING!!! There is no shortcut in raising level host, but there is indeed some other way to collect DM Currencies.]

[1. Daily sign-in and mission.]

[2. Maintaining the state of an intruder in the Dungeon (Depends on the strength of intruder)]

[3. Killing an intruder (Depends on the strength of the intruder)]

[4. Offering a corpse (Depends on the original strength of the corpse)]

Other than the first one, ray had never used the other three functions.

In fact, other than the Time of the Dungeon raid, ray's Dungeon had never received an intruder before.

" Killing and kidnapping.. Isn't it a bit too much?"

[ DING!!! Actually, No, host. You are still too soft, and the system recommends you to quickly change that kind of mentality if you want to survive longer.]

[ The world has changed, and human morale is decreasing with every second passed by. You might think that the world is still the same, but if you look better, you could see that killing, kidnapping, and even slavery are getting more and more to be a norm these days.]

[ The strong eat the weak, and you must be able to accept that fact, host.]

" .... "

Ray could only sigh inwardly at the system's explanation.

Indeed, he was too naive. He had always deceived himself that everything is normal, but deep inside, Ray knew that the world had changed.

The old mentality would not work anymore, and he must do anything to get stronger.

The memory of staying still while unable to do anything about Edward's situation was still haunting Ray, and now was the Right Time for him to make a change.

Ray's eyes now shone with determination to get stronger. He would do anything if it meant that he could protect everyone he cared about.

" Then tell me, what should I do? Even if I want to get some intruder indie this Dungeon, it would be very dangerous if the true identity of this Dungeon was to be known by the top-level rankers. I don't think that with my current power, I could handle any of the top ten awakeners."

[ Hehe, I'm waiting for that question, host.]

[ Actually, there are two major choices.]

[ First is to keep planting crops like you used to do, or even try to breed them. You might have noticed that the upper limit of the crops price was stuck at the 10,000 DM Currencies, but that was not the actual limit of the crops. There are some super rare crops that the host needed to plant and breed by yourself, and not just depend on the DM shop.]

Ray nodded at this explanation. He had indeed discovered the strangeness that the system had said before, and now Ray knew what to do.

[ For the second, it is actually a lot easier. The host could just capture another dungeon and make it a subsidiary of this Dungeon. And from that moment, the host could gain the DM from this subsidiary Dungeon. Of course, with this method, the host could mitigate the chance of the rankers knowing the true location of the Morningwood Dungeon.]

Ray was shocked at this revelation.

Right, after the first Time in the Chicken Dungeon, Ray had never tried to capture another Dungeon core and chose to directly absorb them.

The fact that he could capture a subsidiary Dungeon and make it a milking farm would have never crossed Ray's thought if it was not for the system.

[ Hehe, are you amazed, host?]

If it was replaced by another system, the host might have pretended to be a tsundere.

But Ray's and the system's relationship was very good, and Ray didn't feel like there was a need to act tsundere.

He nodded excitedly at the system's voice, and now his eyes were brimming with stars.

" System, after some days of sign-in and daily mission, how much DM I currently have?"

[ DING!!! The host currently has 20,000 Dm Currencies and 233 Spirit ores.]

" Then, buy me the Low-grade Dungeon detector!"

[ DING!!! Low-Grade Dungeon Detector has been purchased. Deducting 5,000 DM Currencies from the host's current account. Current balance: 15,000 DM Currencies.]

[Low-Grade Fungeon detector has been activated, detecting surrounding Dungeon.]

[ DING!!! Successfully detected 20 Dungeons around Jakarta. The level and further information about the Dungeon could be checked in the system panel.]

Along with that words, a huge panel consisting of each, and every Dungeon in Jakarta appeared in front of Ray.

There was some red-rated Dungeon, meaning that it was a level 40 or higher Dungeon, while the rest was either orange, yellow or green.

Nonetheless, ray's target this Time was not the red, orange, or yellow, but instead the green one.

He wanted to find a new Dungeon that had never been visited before and caught it as his subsidiary Dungeon.

It was not that Ray was not strong enough to capture a yellow or higher grade Dungeon. But normally, those dungeons were already under the surveillance of the Government, and it would be hard to enter them without the Government permit.

Ray spent some time checking each and every of the Dungeon, but eventually, his choice fell into this one.

[ Empty warehouse dungeon.]

[ Dungeon level: Green.]

[ Number of intruders: 0.]

[ Number of rooms: 2.]

[ Monsters: Battle hound x3]

[ A small Dungeon in a hidden warehouse in Grogol.]

[ Note: A newly born Dungeon.]

" What a jackpot, to encounter a dungeon which had never been visited before, my luck surely played a part here."

Ray was not going to waste any more time here.

He didn't know whether some stupid delinquents would enter the warehouse and accidentally enter the Dungeon before him.

Therefore, he quickly exited the Morningwood Dungeon and took a gojek to go into the location of Empty warehouse Dungeon.

. . . . . 

" Well, apart from the sketchy looks, it does look like an ordinary warehouse…"

Ray had arrived in front of the location of the empty warehouse dungeon.

The location was on someone's private property, so Ray needed to use his camouflage skill to get inside.

[ Let's stop complaining and get inside, host. There is a saying in your world, Stop wasting Time.]

"...."

Ray looked around for a while, making sure that no one was noticing before he eventually opened the warehouse door.

The inside was not very different from Ray's prediction. It was dark and a bit damp.

There was no indication of it being occupied, and only some old wires and steel were there.

There appeared to be some rats' nests as well. If not for the fact that the system had said so, Ray would definitely not believe that there was a dungeon here.

'… It seems the Dungeon was really hidden inside.'

Just from one glance, and you wouldn't find the Dungeon entrance.

Ray continued to walk deeper inside, and only when he arrive at the edge of the warehouse that he finds a small dungeon gate.

" It's here!"

Without waiting anymore, Ray opened up the dungeon gate.

His consciousness was sucked by the dungeon gate, and when his consciousness returned, Ray had already teleported into the empty warehouse dungeon.

[ DING!!! Congratulations for being the first person to discover the empty warehouse dungeon.]

[ Reward: Exp +50% for this Dungeon for the first month.]

' Yeah, whatever,'

The moment Ray opened his eyes, a notification appeared in his ears, but he immediately closed them up.

His goal for this Time was not to clear the Dungeon, but instead to make this Dungeon his subsidiary one.

Furthermore, Ray could already see that the monster in this Dungeon was way too low-leveled.

For the current him, spending his Time killing the monster here would only be wasteful.

" Appraisal!"

In front of Ray, there were three Battle Hound monsters.

This empty warehouse dungeon was still a new dungeon, so it only consisted of two rooms.

The first room where the monsters reside, and the second room where the Dungeon core was placed. And just like its name, the situation in this empty warehouse Dungeon was the same as outside. The room was like an empty warehouse which people tend to use to store some unused materials.

[ DING!!! Appraisal successful, displaying the stats of the three battle hounds.]
