"This much of an effect from just a Level 5 core!?" Geth exclaimed. If Valhalla had enough supply, then other parties could begin clearing Dungeons without him.

He was starting to regret having used all of those Slime Cores on upgrading his first Dungeon. Just as he was about to curse himself, he remembered something.

"Filthy said that one of Thorn's guys had taken that last Dungeon from Slimes..." Geth headed out of the lab.

Hulk greeted him as soon as he exited, "Ahh, was it a success, boy?"

Geth just grinned and tossed him the corked vial of liquid. Hulk and Harris both inspected it closely.

"Is this what I think it is..?" Harris was the one to speak this time. He wasn't as old and had played some games in his free time.

"That's right!" Geth's grin widened, "Just a few of these, and you lot can clear a Dungeon without me."

"Well... What is it?" Hulk grumbled something under his breath about how rude the younger generation could be.

"It's a Health Potion," Harris explained. "You drink it, and it will heal your wounds."

Hulk's eyes widened in acknowledgment and appreciation for the liquid. He then turned to Geth without hesitation.

"What do we need to do to mass-produce this?" Hulk asked.

Geth responded quickly, "I need you to use the tools and measure out precisely one ounce of liquid Mana for every vial we have available.

I can create containers. The glass itself is hardened by the use of Runes, which I can handle.

The thing is, I don't know how we can go about making more portable tubes. Changing gas to a liquid is one thing, but I don't know much about creating something new."

He thought of Bruce back in the Smithy. He could probably do it, but he needed to focus on crafting equipment.

"I have a guy," Harris spoke up suddenly.

Geth raised his eyebrow and gestured for the man to continue.

"Remember the guy that you were going to let die because his wife didn't trust you?" He asked.

Geth nodded. Harris kept on, "Well, that fella is actually a glassblower for the medieval festival our state had every year. He used to demonstrate how glass was made and how to shape it."

"That is quite convenient. I suppose it's a good thing I didn't turn the two out right away." Geth chuckled as he remembered the woman's ashen face.

"Then we need to get him here and have him explain what type of equipment he needs. I should be able to craft him a sturdy furnace or any other necessary tools."

Geth stroked his beard for a moment before speaking. "Next time you see Filthy, tell him to bring that couple here. Also, see if there is anyone interested in crafting potions or researching monsters."

Hulk nodded and set out in search of Filthy while Harris grabbed two cauldrons and some vials. Geth left in search of Zolis. She had looted most of the dead bodies.

He made his way into the catacombs and to the back room. He opened the door to find Zolis and Alise lying exposed on the bed sleeping.

Alise had one of her legs wrapped around Zolis, who in turn was using the young woman's chest as a pillow. Geth chuckled at the two of them and wondered to himself if this would be permanent.

He didn't mind. He knew that he struggled with showing emotional affection. It would be a nice change for Zolis to have someone she could share that bond with.

Geth crawled onto the bed and kissed both women's necks, stirring them from their peaceful slumber. Alise woke first and smiled, grabbing his beard lightly and pulling him in for a light kiss.

Zolis woke up as well and climbed into his lap while still holding hands with Alise. She snuggled her head under his chin and closed her eyes.

Geth gave her a moment before speaking, "What did you do with all of the loot we got from Thorn's crew?"

"Mmmm..." She opened her eyes a bit, freeing her hands to stretch out.

*Yaaawwwn*

"My satchel is somewhere..." She looked around a bit and then leaned over the edge of the bed.

Geth grinned and slapped her bare cheeks when she bent over.

Yelp!

"You asshole..." She smiled while rubbing the fresh red handprint on her ass. Alise was giggling with her hand over her lips.

Zolis fished the bag out from her loose gear that was strung across the floor. She pulled it up onto the bed and handed it to him.

"Why didn't you just store it in your ring?" He asked.

She shrugged, "I would rather keep my personal things separate from the rest of the loot."

Geth nodded and searched through the contents. Alise took her turn sitting on his lap while Zolis went to wash in the hot spring.

He lightly caressed her peaks with one hand. Using his other, he sorted through the mess in the bag. Eventually, he found what he was looking for.

There was another storage item inside of the bag. It was actually an earring.

He used his Mana Sense to look inside and found that it was filled to the brim with Slime Cores! The highest Level was a Boss Core at Level 25.

"This is great!" He let out suddenly. Alise lifted her head from his shoulder and looked at him curiously.

"What is it that you've been working on? I thought we were taking a break for a few days." She looked pointedly at his lap as she spoke.

"Ahh, this is something that will hopefully give us more free time in the future." Geth smiled at her.

She nodded and gave him a light nibble on the neck before heading to join Zolis in the bath. Geth left and headed back to the Potionology lab.

Harris had brought in three cauldrons full of liquid Mana and was carefully measuring it out. The two of them nodded at each other and got to work.
