CH.69 Enchanted Necklace
I’m back. Again. This is where it all started. Where I first woke up.
The core room.
I walk up to the dungeon core and use it to check the status of the dungeon.
Dungeon 22_090 (unnamed)Core Status: StrongMiasma Status: LowMonster Status: SomeFounder: Brian WoodCurrent Master: None Generation Points: 13764Generatable Items
It seems just fine. Not that I would know when it’s bad. I guess things could get bad if the monster status or miasma status rose to high or something.
I also have more generation points now. I did absorb all the monsters Dark Magician killed on the way here, but they also have to be higher in value than the goblins and kobolds as there were not as many of them as there were of the lesser monsters. And we didn’t even kill all of them.
My points were also strangely stopping in, not a zero. Even a goblin was worth like 50 generation points or something, so where would I have gained individual points from?
(They come from the monsters hunted by the adventurers.) Laura told me.
(I get points for that?)
(Yes. A dungeon master and the dungeon founder get points for all monsters hunted within the dungeon.) Laura told me. (As the founder, you gain more than a dungeon master gains.)
(I guess free points for me. Well, let’s make the items I came here for. I guess the pendant can be first.)
I took out the Black Pendant card and analyzed it. I can’t reproduce the card itself, but it did improve the pendant this dungeon could make. At 2000 points, making one wouldn’t be that expensive, so I went ahead and made one.
It looked a little basic compared to the Black Pendant on the card. It still had the gold chain and the setting around the stone was just a gold border. The stone itself looked better than the one at Bakula company, but otherwise it was a near perfect copy.
I held it in my hand and installed the card into the necklace. Hopefully it doesn’t blow up.
...
It seems to have worked. At least I think so. It didn’t blow up or anything.
But then again, I don’t have an appraisal skill, so I can’t really tell.
(Laura, what do you think?) I asked my info source.
(You should analyze the new necklace and compare the two using the dungeon's power.) she instructed. Updated chapters at novelhall.com

“No. There are no trade spots in the dungeon. At least we haven’t found any, so we only got some points. Are the trade spots further in?” He asked.
Trade spots? What are those?
(They are spots where adventurers can get dungeon items with the dungeon points they store on the dungeon cards.) Laura told me.
So it’s just an item drop point, but you need to ‘buy’ the items with points. But I guess there really aren’t any, as I haven’t made any.
“Sorry, but there aren’t any at the moment. We’ll make one when I get the dungeon master here as well.” I told them. “I’ll give you these for today.” I told them and handed them all a burrito. Food should work as a reward.
“””“Can we really have them?”””” They asked.
“Sure, I’m giving them to you. Would you mind if I had lunch with you?” I said.
“””“It would be an honor”””” I heard in response.
I joined the adventurers for lunch. Well, more like I offered some to them. With five more of the burritos gone, I only have three left. Perhaps I’ll get rid of all of them before the end of the day.
“What kind of items will we be able to get from here?” One of the adventurers asked.
How should I respond to that? Well, I guess there is one answer I can give.
“It’s mostly fabric and clothes.” I told them. “But if you work hard, you could get a magic bag.”
“Magic bag? Really?” They seemed impressed.
“I think it will take you a long time to get one, but yes you could get one with hard work.”
“Then we will work hard.” They answered.
I hope they won’t be disappointed when they finally get one. I like mine, but it’s not that large. It can fit a fair bit of daily necessities, but compared to the ones Prime Rib has that can hold an entire bison, these ones are small.

After lunch, we walked outside. I also unsummoned Dark Magician. It got some looks from the adventurers, but they didn’t ask any questions. Good thing, because if that got them asking things, I can only imagine how they will react after what I’m planning to do next.
This will 100% backfire onto me, but YOLO. I don’t feel like walking back through that forest path.
