Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master-Chapter 134 Coming Home
"My lord!"
Just as Isaac stepped into the dungeon, Pippi jumped up in excitement. She no longer ran to Isaac and tried to hug him. The little girl had already changed her attitude.
"You're finally home, lord. Pippi has missed you so much." She smiled so widely that she showed one of her missing teeth.
"Congratulations, lord! One enemy has fallen. We have one less rival!"
Isaac just put on a flat face. Defeating one enemy didn't change the situation completely. There were still 106 dungeon masters that needed to be eliminated. Nevertheless, he appreciated the congratulations from his assistant.
"Thank you," Isaac replied. "What about the dungeon while I was gone?"
Hearing the question from her master, Pippi's smile turned smug. "Relax, Lord. During your absence, everything ran safely. In fact, everything is even better."
Isaac raised one eyebrow. He was quite curious about the last sentence spoken by the little girl. He asked Pippi, but she only smiled suspiciously.
"It'll be easier if you see for yourself," she said.
Finally, he followed the dungeon manager's advice.
Isaac opened the control panel. His eyes opened wide at the increase in hunter traffic visiting his dungeon. Especially on the 4th Floor.

He left the dungeon for two weeks, his two dungeons got 200,000 zenny each. This was a dramatic increase. Isaac quickly accessed the Crystal Core and saw the condition of the Elven Village.
The village was not much different when he last saw the place. It's just that he saw a pretty striking sight. On the main road, he saw a group of armored hunters with red ornaments. Their numbers were quite large, as if they dominated the streets.
Isaac felt very familiar with them.
"Who are they? I seem to have met them before."
His memory was quite vague. He had seen them somewhere. Not in the previous life, but not long ago.
Until finally, he saw a middle-aged man with gray hair and wearing heart-red armor among the crowd of hunters. That man seemed to be giving a speech.
His head recalled something.
"Ah, the Blood Oath Guild!"
Zhang Gang, that was the man's name. The Hunter he had seen during the dungeon break in Beijing a few months ago. Last Isaac remembered, the man was knocked down by a Mutant Orc and then swarmed by hundreds of monsters. He thought Zhang Gang was dead. Apparently not.
"Since when did they come here, Pippi?" Isaac asked curiously.
The little girl snapped her fingers. "As I suspected, my lord is very observant. That group came after your departure to the human world."
"After I left?"
Pippi nodded proudly.
After Isaac left the dungeon, a group of Hunters from the Blood Oath Guild raid his dungeon. However, instead of a battle, they came only to do business.
They ordered a lot of combat equipment and weapons from the dwarves living on the 4th Floor. They even brought two truckloads of platinum into the dungeon. These platinum was the medium of exchange requested by the dwarves.
Pippi realized that the dwarves were being used by them. Therefore, she told Goyo to make a new request. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
The hunters from the Blood Oath were asked to help maintain security at the Elven Village. Goyo told Zhang Gang that Elven Village was in danger. He had to help Adelia, the village chief, if he wanted the business to continue.
Finally, Zhang Gang complied with the request.
That middle-aged man and his men went to the 4th Floor to take the mission given by Adelia. They were asked to hunt in the Dire Area. For the first few days, he used his own men, but many of them died. Until finally, the old man recruited hunters in the Elf Village.
And as it turned out, many of them joined. From then on, they continued to hunt monsters on Floor 4.
"Very clever," Isaac muttered. He stroked his chin.
Hearing the praise escaped of her master's mouth, Pippi puffed out her chest while stroking her nose with her finger.
"Hehehe, take it easy, my lord. Pippi is a born genius."
In fact, the compliment was not directed at her, but at Zhang Gang.
The old man should have paid for weapons and combat equipment with the lives of his men, but he paid with the lives of others. He utilized the popularity of his guild to recruit hunters within the dungeon. In order to get more to join, he removed Rank restrictions and lured them with wealth.
Blood Oath was a Major Guild. Who wouldn't want to join?
As a result, every day he recruited dozens of hunters who were ready to become sacrifices.
Isaac was quite impressed with the scheme created by Zhang Gang.
"Well, humans are full of surprises." He chuckled. Pippi who saw him only put on a curious face.
"Pippi, tomorrow meet me with that human."
Isaac pointed at Zhang Gang in crystal projection. Suddenly, Pippi raised her eyebrows. For the first time, the little girl knew that her master wanted to meet a human. She had always thought that Isaac saw humans as cattels.
"If I may know, why does my Lord want to meet with him?" Pippi asked. Curiosity was evident on her face.
Isaac just smiled. "You'll find out later."
He saw that Zhang Gang was a person he could do business with. He thought of an interesting idea.
But before that, there was still one job waiting for him.
"One more thing, you call Adelia and Goyo. Ask them to come to the 'cooking place' on the first floor. Tell them to bring some of their men."
Still with a curious look, Pippi accepted the orders given. "Yes, my lord." She struck a salute pose, then her body turned into a fragment of light and vanished.
Isaac was left in the Crystal Core room.
He observed the floating crystal projection, his eyes glued on Zhang Gang who was in the middle of a speech. His lips grinned widely at the thought of taking advantage of that old man.

The air was humid. The walls and ceiling of the cave were filled with purple crystals. They glowed brightly, dispelling the darkness with light. There were also large holes all around.
A white-haired man in a black robe seemed to be standing alone. His gaze was glued on the beauty of the Power Crystals.
This place was the 'cooking place'. The place where he would train human soldiers later. This was also where Isaac had leveled up Guo Chen and Wang Yi during the Clearence a few months ago.
"This place is still the same as before. There are no humans here yet."
Amidst the silence of the cave, a shard of light emerged from the empty air. From that bright light, a little girl with freckles on her face appeared.
"Pippi, attend my lord. They will be here shortly."
Not long after, the sound of footsteps echoed in the cave.
Goyo and Adelia arrived. They seemed to be carrying their men. Some of the male dwarves seemed to be casting flirtatious glances at the female elves. But they ignored the stares.
Isaac cleared his throat, the dwarves gasped. They quickly put on serious expressions.
"Goyo, Adelia. You two did a good job while I was away. I heard it from Pippi. Good job." Before getting down to business, Isaac praised them first. The subordinates had to be rewarded for their work, so that their performance would keep good.
"It's a pleasure to hear praise from the dungeon master," said Adelia in a flattered tone.
While Goyo, like a typical dwarf, laughed loudly while stroking the back of his head. "This is nothing, my lord."
Pippi pursed her lips. The little girl seemed impatient to hear Isaac's reason for gathering them here.
Then, the dungeon master began to speak.
"As you know, I left the dungeon for the past few days. During my departure, I brought some new families for this dungeon."
Hearing Isaac's words, everyone seemed to nod. He then flicked a finger. Behind him, there was a hole. man in a butler's outfit came out. Pippi who recognized that man opened her mouth wide. The little girl began to feel her position was threatened.
The man was Kirnish, Isaac's second manager. However, he was not the one Isaac wanted to introduce.
Behind Kirnish, there were shy homunculus children. They all looked about the same age as Pippi. Among them, there was a man with skin as pale as quartz sand.
"They are homunculus. They will need your guidance."
The dwarves and elves nodded. Then, Adelia raised a hand, a curious look on her face.
"My Lord, if I may know, what business do they have with us."
The question made everyone in the cave look curious. Especially Goyo.
Meanwhile, Isaac just grinned. He had been waiting for this question.
"Like I said, we have a new family. I want you to help them create a family."
Instantly, the dwarves and elves opened their eyes wide.
