Chapter 151 Evolution

"Hmmm?" I looked around as I saw those guys trapped in a circular trail of blood that covered around them and a certain purple shield that blocked their path of escape.

Looking around, I saw George and Walter casually talking while using their magic. Irene was also there, peeking once in a while as she observed the 17 people within the circle.

Those guys were unconscious, fallen on the ground and I chuckled a little as I moved towards the fallen guys. As soon as I reached near the purple shield, an opening formed within the shield while the trail of blood vanished enough, letting me enter the area.

Moving inside, I touched one of the guys

[Second Space!]

And also placed a [Return Point!] inside that circle before moving back outside as the blood circle closed itself and so did the shield.

I sat in a meditation position before entering the [Second Space!] again and dragging the unconscious guy towards the [Sell] section where

[Do you want to Sell B-Grade Zombified Human (Gift: Advanced Sense) for 115,000 Cronas?]

Pressing [Yes] I then moved to repeat the same thing again…

[Do you want to sell B-Grade Zombified Human (Gift: Magnetic Resonance) for 145,000 Cronas?]

[Do you want to sell B-Grade Zombified Human (Gift: Energy Manipulation) for 150,000 Cronas?]

[Do you want to sell B-Grade Zombified Human (Gift: Evolved Muscles) for 120,000 Cronas?]

.

.

.

.

And in the end the amount of Cronas I had was…

[Total Cronas: 1,723,430]

My eyes glistened as I looked at the surplus amount of Cronas before I went to the [Cores Section] and bought all the necessary Cores. What happened next was…

I got out of the [Second Space] first

"All three of you. Protect me for sometime," I spoke as I looked at them seriously and hearing my voice, they turned alert before they nodded. They didn't know what was going on, but they didn't question anything.

'When I will get hit, killed or anything?'

[54 Years: 10 Months: 3 Days]

Then I went back into the [Second Space!] and closed my eyes as I began preparing myself once again. Even Rhea was carefully observing me…

Now…

[Gene Evolution

Allows the user to evolve beyond his current limits

Requirements:

E-Grade Cores: 200/200

D-Grade Cores: 50/50

C-Grade Core: 1/1]

[Do you want to proceed with Evolution?]

Though, I didn't immediately press [Yes!]

[Total Cronas: 723,430]

After buying all the Cores, I then moved to that Plant First,

[Tree of Crona(Uncommon)

Effects: Generates 15 Cronas per hour.

Limitations: Can store only 2500 Cronas

Special: Evolvable (Require 50,000 Cronas to evolve)]

I upgraded it once

[Tree of Crona(Rare)

Effects: Generates 50 Cronas per hour.

Limitations: Can store only 10,000 Cronas

Special: Evolvable (Require 250,000 Cronas to evolve)]

I upgraded it again

[Tree of Crona(Unique)

Effects: Generates 200 Cronas per hour.

Effect: Generates one Golden Crona per 100 hours

Limitations: Can store only 50,000 Cronas

Limitations: Can store only 10 Golden Cronas

Special: Evolvable (Require 1,500,000 Cronas to evolve)]

[Total Cronas: 423, 430]

The tree grew up really big covering the entire area of the dpace. There were some golden leaves along with the green ones in that tree.

"Hey Rhea. What's a Golden Crona?" I asked curiously and Rhea, who was observing me, asked with her eyes a bit open wide,"where did you hear that?"

"Golden Crona is an ancient and purer form of Crona. It's kind of ancient but it has a really strong power. Hmmm… you said that you used God Powers, right? Well, normally there are limitations to that God Power, but if you pay the right price, such as Golden Cronas, you can use that power without any side effects. Though why do you-" she was speaking as she was moving forward but as her eyes fell on the description of the ree and… well they were shocked to say the least.

But since I already got my answer, I moved to the [Dungeon] Screen completely ignoring Rhea.

[Capacity Increase:

Current capacity to hold workers: 50 (Grade 2)

Cost of increasing the capacity to Grade 3: 100,000 Cronas]

Upgrading it once,

[Capacity Increase:

Current capacity to hold workers: 250 (Grade 3)

Cost of increasing the capacity to Grade 4: 500,000 Cronas]

Then I upgraded the D-Grade Zombie into C-Grade at the Cost of 110,000 Cronas and bought another 2 of C-Grade Zombies for 150,000 Cronas each.

[C-Grade Random Zombie:

Working Speed Efficiency: Can generate 200-1000 Cronas per day

House Space Taken: 50

Cost: 150,000 Cronas]

Finally, I upgraded the efficiency for 10,000 Cronas leaving me with merely 3,430 Cronas.

'Let's check the Dungeon Stats,' I thought as I observed it carefully.

[Dungeon of Libra (Rare)]

[Owner: Michael Aroa

Location: Black Water City(E*rth): Erastale(Forgotten Demon Dimension)

Total Number of Floors: 70

Total Number of Workers: 150/250

Crona Production Rate: 2980/day

Current Efficiency: 12%

'Better, I guess,' I thought as I sighed, I finally got a stable amount of Crona source, both from the plant as well as the dungeon.

While the dungeon is slow, no matter what happens, it won't stop unless the dungeon itself is destroyed. On the other hand, the plant will give me a good amount of Crona within a short amount of time as long as I keep harvesting it.

[Author's note: Not including the dungeon, the amount of Crona Michael will get in one hour in the outside world is 9600. With the dungeon, that goes up to 15560 Cronas.]

"Okay, now that is done, let's move to Evolution," I thought as my heart beat rose by a lot.

I had already activated all my abilities which decreased the time. I hope they work properly and even if it is 1000 years, it should not be much of a problem.

[Do you want to proceed with Evolution?]

This time I pressed [Yes!]

And a couple of messages started flooding in front of me.
