Chapter 14: Level Up

"Master, the secret passage from here to the dungeon is connected."

Bix, dressed as a maid, stood excitedly beside Jenn, holding up a map with both hands, like a schoolboy who had given homework to his teacher as a sacrifice.

"A qiē is done strictly according to your requirements, and I can guarantee that there is absolutely no problem with its safety."

"Okay, I see, you're doing a good job."

Taking the map from Bix's hand, Jenn glanced at it, then nodded in satisfaction. Since the advent of this dwarf, the construction of the dungeon has been a rapid progress. Although Bix is a dwarf who is not yet a hundred years old, any race that lives underground is bound to have some experience in digging, just as few fishermen who live by the sea know how to swim. Although he can't do it as professionally as the gray dwarf, at least how to avoid collapse, how to ensure air circulation and dust removal is still no problem for Bix.

Bix was visibly pleased to hear Jenn's answer, she smiled a little embarrassedly, and then obediently stood aside and stopped talking. Bix didn't notice that the demon sigil was slowly changing her thoughts and opinions. If it had been before, just being so close to a demon would have been enough to make her faint in fright.

But now, standing by Jenn's side, that instinctive fear and awe has not been dissolved. But under the influence of the inscription, it spreads in a different direction -- because of excessive fear, Bix tries to win the favor of his new master, and the clever dwarf knows very well that as long as she is useful to her master, then she will not end up like the unlucky child who was eaten by the demon king in the stories told by her parents.

This is a move that any life would make in order to protect itself, but the Demon Seal distorts this feeling of self-preservation. When Bix tried her best to gain Jenn's approval to save her life, the approval from the Demon King also made her feel more happiness and a strong sense of satisfaction than ever. In the city of gnomes, Bix is only one of thousands of her kind, and is not even liked by most gnomes because of her out-of-the-box and adventurous nature. And here, she was able to be valued by a legendary demon, which was a wonderful experience like a dream for Bix.

Bix is even secretly glad now that she was tied to the dungeon in the first place, but otherwise, she would not have realized that she still has such value.

For the change in Bix, Jenn naturally sees it in his eyes, which is not surprising. He was sure that it wouldn't be long before Bix would become his dependents wholeheartedly, and the gnomes themselves were not a determined race. They are smart, but timid, and they are easy to control even without an engraving.

Unlike the Dark Elves...............

Jenn shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Vilna, who was silently watching his "front subordinates" drive the lizards into the passageway, the dark elves' minds were very determined, and they generally couldn't accept the engraving at all. Even when she's unconscious, it's a great source of research for Jenn.

Thinking of this, Jenn withdrew his gaze and looked around. Beside him at the moment, the goblins were at work -- they were holding their hoes, their feet stomping on the ground, muttering unsure of what they were saying. But soon, with a soft "buzz", I saw a square, carved red slab at the foot of the goblin, appearing out of thin air, covering the originally uneven ground.

In just a few moments, the uneven ground was completely covered with neat and clean stone slabs, and it became smooth and clean. For Jenn, this was a very important part of the dungeon expansion. Because the land where these carved floors are located is the "real" territory of the dungeon.

If there's a flaw to the dungeon system, it's that it's very little help to Jenn's personal strength. As the master of the dungeon, Jenn can be said to live and die with his own city, which means that only when the dungeon is upgraded, Jenn's own strength can be improved. If the dungeon is not upgraded, then no matter how many monsters Jenn kills, his experience points will not change the slightest.

There are only two ways to upgrade a dungeon, either complete the tasks it has set out, or destroy enemies within the dungeon's sphere of influence. Only then will Jenn's dungeon be able to gain enough experience points to level up.

Of course, this setting is not without its benefits. Because this means that even if Jenn sleeps in the room with his head covered, as long as there are monsters that are not afraid of death that dare to enter his sphere of influence, then they will be killed and automatically converted into experience points to upgrade Jenn.

But on the other hand, if the dungeon itself can't be upgraded, then whatever Jenn does is useless. On the contrary, the other monsters belonging to the dungeon, no matter where they are, as long as they destroy the enemy, they can get enough experience to upgrade. It was as if the experience gained from the destruction of the Brain Eater this time was basically divided between Enoa and the Banshee Guard, and Jenn didn't even have a single star left.

So the best thing for Jenn to do is to expand the dungeon's sphere of influence. The wider the dungeon's sphere of influence, the more XP you'll gain and the faster you'll level up.

The inhabitants of the underground do not pay attention to these floors, after all, underground, there are all kinds of ruins everywhere. The slabs had no purpose other than to prove to them that there were man-made structures in the vicinity. However, this is not the case for Jenn, as long as he walks into the sphere of influence of the dungeon, Jenn can clearly know the number and occupation of the other party through the guò system, and with the increase of the level of the dungeon, even the origin and current status of the other party can be explored clearly.

Not only that, but Jenn, who is in the sphere of influence, will be multiplied in terms of both recovery and spell power, and it can be said that even a powerful mage is definitely not an opponent of Jenn under the protection of the dungeon.

Although he can only have two spells.

Goblins are fast, and these little monsters born from the dungeon system are always impossible to find fault with when it comes to doing their job. In just a few minutes, the surrounding area of land has been leveled. Even the area near the walls of Brandon Stone was completely taken.

That's why Jenn named this place, even though it seemed to Kadek that there was nothing in this place. But he didn't know that by doing so, he was almost sending the entire Brandon Rock City to the mouth of a behemoth, and after Jenn expanded the power of the dungeon here, the fall of Brandon Stone City was only a matter of time.

"Order ............!!"

Just after the last piece of ground was covered by the stone slab, the familiar system prompt sound resurfaced in Jenn's ears, and immediately after, the system panel immediately popped up in front of Jenn's eyes.

"Finally reached level 2..............."

Looking at the panel in front of him, Jenn couldn't help muttering to himself, this is only 12oo experience, but it took him nearly three months! If it weren't for the experience given by the daily quests he received during this adventure, I'm afraid Jenn would have to stay up for a while before he could level up. But now, now that he has been promoted to level 2, the next thing for Jenn is very simple.

It seems that after the dungeon is stabilized, going out and taking on daily tasks is a good way to upgrade the dungeon.

Turning the thought around, Jenn reached out and tapped on the system panel. Soon, a line of system prompts resurfaced.

[Dungeon territory detected, is there a building?] 】

"Build the Blackstone Tower."

[Build a Blackstone Tower (LV1), cost - Ore (15o), mercury (5o), gem (1o), crystal (2oo), gold (35oo), please confirm]

"Confirm."

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Jenn nodded slightly.

The next moment, the situation changed abruptly.

The earth began to tremble slightly, and the gray patterns on the floor gradually radiated a bright red glow. Soon, they were intertwined with each other and circled upward, and the symbols of magic began to unfold in circles, and the space began to vibrate incessantly. Immediately after, a pitch-black, tall stone tower emerged from it.

The light disappeared, and the symbol representing magic power melted into the pitch-black tower like melting snow, leaving only a few pieces of magical light to disappear from time to time. The sharp and tall tower reaches to the dome, overlooking the sight of a qiē as far as the eye can see.

The monster, which had been sleeping all along, finally showed its fangs.
