Chapter 85: Learning More of System Space Management

While Alros might have not sleep for the night, he was not tired. After all, he is a demon, which make him did not need sleep too much, like any human. Though sleep is still one of the best way to replish his ergy, so he did it every night unless if there are reasons for staying up late.

He had watched as the nocturnal bugs returning to their lairs during the transition of night to day. Alros had memorized all he could, plans already forming in his head as he plan to take advantage of it wh he can.

But for now, he would spding hit time exploring the Forest of Bug, first.

"There seem to be something interesting here," Alros mused as he eyed a wasp hive. While he plan to grab one batch of them in the future, for now he would not the information, as he did not have the tools necessary to take it out.

He th continue his travel, hoping to find other specims he could make use of.

"More butterflies for me," he said to himself as he subdued 5 more butterfly monsters of varriying size, though, ever exceed the size of a human. At the same time, he also make a surprising discovery, or the be exact, Laili did.

[ Master, it seem the capacity for the Butterfly Lair only reach just now. ]

He looked at the crystal in his hand in disbelief. "But I already captured more than 0. How did it only just reach two now?" he question her.

[ It seem the size of creature also effect the capacity. For something the size of a human, from a child to and adult, in term of size, the capacity for Lair and System Space will only count it as one.

As for smaller monsters, that is smaller than goblins and slimes, it require 0 monsters before it will be counted as one. ]

Alros mused over her guess and nodded. It seem to make the most sses, as well as being logical. "So, I can capture an tire colony of monsters, and as long as they are small, th I can capture up to 4000 monsters per lair," he calculate, feeling more excited.

It seem, the Mana Gathering Magic Circle act like a pseudo-Leylines, and able to produce mana. Though, it only create a suitable vironmt and cannot be used by Master, as it is not considered MP. ]

"Huh," while it is a surprise, it is a welcome one, except for the fact he need to use the lair capacity to plant any types of plants in the system space.

[ Oh, it seem Master can do something like putting plot inside a lair. Considering that it will not take much space for a singular plant, th Master don't need to get the medium-sized one. Ev a small one would be sufficit for the ants. ]

"At least it make thing easier," with him able to plant the needed vegetation for his monsters, it would make things easier as he did not have to worry about the ants getting step on and causing mayhem as a result.

[ Should I buy the lair and plot, Master? ]

Alros shook his head, "Not for now. Let's wait until we capture all.ofnth first before we get it. We don't want to put the cart before the horse," he told her before he thought of another question.

"Can the same lair be, well, not fused, but attached to one another? Like the goblin lair with another goblin lair, or maybe ev slimes lair with a goblin lair?"

[ Hhmm, yes Master. It can be done as so. Though it will cause the boundary betwe the two separate lairs to dissolve. Why? ]

"To make it easier to manage and form a huge goblin tribes, or maybe ev a super colony of ants, wasps or termites. If I did it, th I can spd one medium-sized plot and put it inside the conjoined lairs, giving them another source of food if we don't provide for them," he pointed out.

[ The idea is feasible. Should I get started on it? ]

"Yes, but make each space further apart so it would not prevt further expansion. Or at least make it harder to do so. I don't want to have to change lairs location everytime we want to add something," he decided, before continuing his observation on the ants.

[ Understood Master. I will give th a lot of space with further expsion in mind. ]

With the crystal being silt, Alros knew she is doing her job. And while he will not use the conjoined lairs idea on the smaller species, for the larger ants, it is something to consider.
