Chapter 67 - 67- Bug

Relishing on the memories from his past life for a while, Simon finally arrived at a decision.

He decided on naming his dungeon Laplace "Since I wasn't able to fulfil my dream in the previous life, I will realize it in this life. The dungeon Laplace, I will make it the greatest dungeon in this world". Simon pledged with an unwavering will.

He had dedicated three whole years of his life to this game, Simon had always felt a special connection with it. Even when he died and reincarnated to a different, the [Main Menu] of the game Laplace came along with him. It was enough to tell him how deep of a bond they had.

Without further delay, he set the name of his dungeon.

[Ding]

[Dungeon Name:- Laplace has been set.]

After setting the name, Simon looked at the changes that had taken place after the increase in the dungeon rank.

First of all, there were some new items added to the shop such as the Tree of Manas which gathers the mystical energy present in the surrounding before condensing and releasing them into the dungeon, nourishing it in the process.

Mystical energy commonly known as manas is the essence of the world which nourishes and holds every being. All the creatures of the world increase their level so as to feel the mystical energy more strongly and utilise it. Those with higher levels have a greater grasp of the mystical energy and vice versa.

Even the stats were nothing but a representation of how much mystical energy one holds inside their body. The same goes for the skills.

The density of manas inside his dungeon was quite low compared to some of the places in the Ghastly Winding Forest. An area with a higher concentration of manas will have many mystical objects growing in it.

From his inherited memories, Simon knew that increasing the density of manas inside the dungeon is crucial in increasing its rank. The higher the rank of the dungeon, the greater the concentration of manas inside it.

Since the trees of manas were important to further increase the rank of his dungeon, Simon unhesitantly decided to buy it.

The thing that was listed in the shop were seeds of the trees of Manas. It costs around 500,000 DP each and can be bought in any amount. If Simon wanted to increase the density of manas inside his dungeon, he has to plant these seeds and wait for them to grow before they can display their uses.

Since the Trees of Manas would take time to grow, he couldn't rush it. As such, Simon decided to shift his attention to the other things that were listed in the shop.

There were quite a few new items that were listed, but the one that caught his eyes was the palace. There was also the new function of spawning crystals and chests across the dungeon floors. Ores such as iron, black steel, white silver can now be produced and mined across the floors. As for the higher tier ores like Black-gold and mithril can only be produced inside a dungeon where the concentration of manas has reached a high degree.

There were only a few places and dungeons in this whole world which can produce ores of that level and higher.

Treasure chests on the other hand are used to lure human adventurers into the dungeon. From his inherited memories, Simon learned that humans are a good source of income and can bring a stable amount of DP.

Humans who call themselves adventurers dive into the dungeons looking for treasures and riches. A dungeon is also a place for them to increase their levels and hone their skills while at the same time a source of income. The adventurers hunt monsters for their parts as well as mine the dungeon for treasure chests and ores.

Due to these reasons, adventurers all over the world dive into the dungeons even while knowing about the associated risks of losing their lives.

Birds die in pursuit of food, humans die in pursuit of wealth. The allure of treasure and riches that can be found inside the dungeon is so great that even while knowing the risks they still dive inside the dungeon.

Then again humans are a clever species, to mitigate the risks, they form large groups of teams called guilds to tackle the problems that arise while diving into the dungeon.

The dungeon core in itself is a huge treasure. kingdoms and empires provide a huge amount of treasures and bestow peerage to people that have conquered the dungeon and brought the fragments of dungeon core back.

The higher the rank of the dungeon, the higher the value of that dungeon core.

While Simon did not know what use a destroyed dungeon core had, he was still aware that there had to be something that made it valuable to kingdoms and empires for them to put a huge amount of treasures in exchange for it.

"Earning DP through this way is like a dual-edge sword, you have to constantly fortify your dungeon so as to prevent the greedy adventurers from destroying the dungeon core".

"Be that as it may, it still one of the fastest possible ways of securing a stable amount of DP and also one of the conditions for improving and increasing the rank of the dungeon" Simon pondered as he recalled all the memories and information he inherited after reincarnating in this world.

From these memories, he also became aware that after the rank of the dungeon increases, the monster that it can spawn also becomes stronger and there is even a possibility of a variant or stronger species being spawned.

Organizing his thoughts, Simon bought twenty seeds of the Trees of Manas for a total of 10,000,000 DP. The seeds were as big as an egg and the analysis displayed that they were germinated and ready to be planted.
