Chapter 108 Rokuko

Since he had already asked everything that he wanted to ask, Lin Fan was about to head out of the Pet Storage Space when he suddenly thought of something.

It was something that the dungeon core had mentioned before.

The dungeon core had been referring to the dungeon core senpais by gender…

Could dungeon cores have genders?

Once this thought passed through his mind, Lin Fan couldn't help asking the dungeon core, "Can you dungeon cores even have genders? You referred to your senpais as he or she before, so you should be able to have genders, right?"

The dungeon core said in an offended voice, "Of course we can have genders, why do you think that we don't?"

Lin Fan was surprised to hear this before he asked, "Then what gender are you?"

The dungeon core said in an indignant voice, "Can't you tell?"

Lin Fan had three black lines appear on his forehead when he heard this, but he didn't say anything as he waited for a response from the dungeon core.

Seeing that Lin Fan wasn't saying anything, the dungeon core finally said in a proud voice, "Can't you tell from my voice and personality that I am a perfect young lady? You'd be shocked if you could see what I looked like after transforming!"

The black lines on Lin Fan's forehead became even thicker before he realized something about what the dungeon core had said.

"You're saying that you can transform into another form? How?" Lin Fan asked in a surprised voice.

The dungeon core explained, "There's a skill in the dungeon shop called Transformation. As long as I can get that, I can transform into any form I want."

Lin Fan opened up the store of the Dungeon Master System and found that there was indeed such an item there, but the cost…It was something that was far beyond what a new dungeon and a new dungeon master could afford.

Seeing this, Lin Fan had no choice but to give up on this.

But once again before leaving, he suddenly remembered something else.

Lin Fan turned again to ask, "Do you have a name?"

After all, it was awkward just calling it dungeon core all the time.

The dungeon core fell silent for a bit before saying in a somewhat desolate voice, "We dungeon cores don't have names, we are just labeled with numbers based on the order of our creation…"

Lin Fan nodded at this before asking, "Then how about I give you a name?"

The dungeon core was silent for a few seconds before saying in a shocked voice, "Are you sure? You really want to give me a name?"

Lin Fan was surprised by how shocked the dungeon core was, but then he said, "Sure, why not? It'll be easier to talk to you in the future if you have a name."

The dungeon core giggled as it said, "A name, a name of my own! I can't believe it!"

Lin Fan was still confused why the dungeon core would be so excited about a simple name, but he didn't dwell on it for too long. He fell into deep thought as to what kind of name would be good for this dungeon core, but then he suddenly remembered something from the description of the dungeon core.

It was dungeon core 695…

It seemed like too much of a coincidence, but this dungeon core reminded Lin Fan of another dungeon core from a light novel that he read in his previous world…

Since that was the case, why not use the same name here?

So Lin Fan asked, "How about Rokuko? Is that name alright with you?"

"Rokuko…" The dungeon core repeated after Lin Fan before saying in a cheerful voice, "I like it!"

Lin Fan revealed a smile when he saw this and he was about to say something, but then he suddenly felt a draining sensation filling him. It was as if something was drawing out all the energy in his body and he couldn't stand up straight anymore as he fell backwards.

After falling on his back on the ground, Lin Fan felt like he couldn't move a single muscle as he laid there. All of the energy in his body didn't exist as he started to lose his consciousness.

At the same time, there was a bright glow that appeared around the dungeon core.

This glow continued to grow brighter and brighter until the light suddenly disappeared.

The dungeon core had been silent when the bright glow had been around it, but then it noticed that Lin Fan was lying on the ground without moving. It quickly said in a worried voice, "Master, are you alright!?"

When it said this, all the other pets came over to check Lin Fan's condition.

But those were the last words that Lin Fan heard before he lost consciousness.

…

He didn't know how much time had passed when he woke up, but when he woke up, he found that all his pets were gathered around him, looking down at him with concern.

Lin Fan tried to get up and he found that while he was still weakened, he was at least able to use a bit of strength to get himself off the ground.

However, he was very confused about what had just happened.

Why did he suddenly lose all his strength and fall to the ground like that?

Lin Fan couldn't help asking the system what had just happened.

"Host, when your pets receive names, they will take your spiritual energy to evolve with. When you named the dungeon core, it took all your spiritual energy and you fainted because of the lack of spiritual energy."

Lin Fan was shocked when he heard this.

p He had never even known that this was a thing before and when he had named all his other pets, this had never happened before.

"Host, the other pets were not strong enough to take all of your spiritual energy."

Lin Fan just had a stunned look when he heard this.

He finally realized why Rokuko had asked if he was sure about naming her…

Lin Fan couldn't help asking, "What happens if I don't have enough spiritual energy to support the evolution? What would happen to me?"

The system replied, "The host would have died from a lack of spiritual energy."

Lin Fan couldn't help being shocked again.

Without knowing it, he had done something to risk his life just by naming the dungeon core…

It seemed like he really didn't have enough knowledge of this world's rules.

After he finished his talk with the system, Rokuko immediately asked, "Master, did you not know what would happen after giving me a name?"

Lin Fan just revealed an awkward smile as he couldn't think of a response.

Rokuko said in a depressed voice, "I didn't think that master wouldn't know such a simple thing. This is something that everyone knows…But it's still my fault for not properly warning master."

Lin Fan's awkward smile became even more awkward, but he still said, "It's fine, I know now. You don't have to worry about this, this is my fault."

Rokuko still said, "But…"

Lin Fan cut her off by saying, "I said it's fine."

Rokuko fell silent, but based on the dim blue glow that she had, it was clear that she didn't think the same.

Lin Fan gave a sigh and patted the blue orb before leaving the Pet Storage Space.

When he came out, he found that the sun was already setting.

It seemed like he had been out for the entire day…

Not long after he came out of the Pet Storage Space, the other girls came back home.

They were surprised to see his dirty appearance which Lin Fan himself didn't even know about.

After he had fainted, he had been lying on the ground in the Pet Storage Space, so naturally his clothes were covered in dirt.

They were confused why he was so dirty, but they didn't ask as they sent him off to take a bath.

The rest of the evening went as normal with them having a meal before heading off to bed together. Of course, Lin Fan didn't hold back on the three girls who entered his bed together.

After they were finished, he laid there with the three of them lying against him with their soft bodies.

Looking at these three sleeping faces, Lin Fan couldn't help thinking of all the things that had happened since he had come to this world. He had been through many things, but the people that he had met along the way had made everything worth it.

These three girls had given him so much and even now, they still filled his days with joy.

He was also aware that he had greatly changed since coming to this world, but he didn't mind it. He knew that this was necessary for him to survive in this world and if he wanted to deal with the troubles that came in the future, he would have to change even more.

But for now, the only goal that he had was to protect the people around him.

For now, just having these girls with him was enough.

As he had this thought, he had to admit that his life was much more different compared to the life that he had led on Earth.

He really had to thank the God of Earth for sending him to this world and giving him a second life.

To thank that god, he would make sure that he would make the most of this second life.
