Rebirth of the Strongest Dungeon Master-Chapter 71 Radiant Forest

After the dungeon break was over, Isaac earned 6.3 million zenny. The amount was quite fantastic for farming for 10 days. All of this couldn't be separated from the strategic location of the dungeon and the role of Marshal Anatoly who had sacrificed his men.

<Dungeon Status>

[Dungeon Floors : 3]

[Monster Boss : 2/3]

[Population : 278,000/300,000]

[Fund : 6,648,234 zenny]

Although Isaac also suffered significant losses, the price he paid was worth what he got.

Now it was time for Isaac to upgrade the dungeon.

"Pippi, I will be upgrading the dungeon. Help me build the 4th Floor."

No answer replied.

Pippi huddled in the corner of the Crystal Core Room. Usually, she would answer her master enthusiastically when her name was mentioned.

"Is something bothering you?" Isaac asked curiously.

"Pippi is grieving. Mister bear is dead. Yet, Pippi could not avenge his death."

Isaac sighed as he shook his head.

The mister bear was a giant white bear that Isaac rode during the dungeon break. The monster died in the middle of the battle, and the person responsible for its death was still alive.

Fedorov was locked up in a prison on the 3rd Floor. Isaac couldn't control his mind yet because the Seed of Mind slot was full. Isaac needed to upgrade it first to increase the number of slots.

For now, Isaac was prioritizing the zenny allocation for increasing his dungeon's power, considering that he was already making a big fuss in the outside world. The consequences would always come from every decision taken.

Isaac walked over to Pippi who was still huddled in the corner of the room. He stroked her head.

"Get up, Pippi. Mister bear wouldn't be happy to see you sad like this."

Pippi lifted her head. "Mister bear is dead, those who are dead can't speak. How could you know, Lord? Could the Lord see it?"

"Yes, I can see it. Every life I've ever taken continues to follow me, as well as those who died for me."

The little girl did not understand what her master had said. However, the stroking on her head was able to boost her spirit, and she got up to her feet again.

"Are you ready?" Isaac asked.

Pippi nodded her head.

Isaac smiled when he saw his assistant going back to work. He was gentle with Pippi because this job involved the dungeon.

'Let's get started.'

Then, he waved his hand, opening the 'shop' feature. A system window resembling a transparent screen appeared in front of him. It provided four options. He chose the 'upgrade' option.

[Do you want to upgrade the dungeon?]

[Yes/No]

"Of course, yes,"

1,000,000 zenny reduced from Isaac's pocket.

Ding!

[The dungeon upgrade process begins!]

[Estimated time: 60 minutes.]

Suddenly, there was a shock, as if an earthquake had occurred. The shaking didn't just occur in the Crystal Core Room, but in the entire dungeon.

Everyone in the dungeon could feel the vibrations resulting from the process of increasing the number of floors. The shaking would not stop until the upgrade process was complete.

Since it was a first-time upgrade, it only took a short time. Once a dungeon had seven floors, the upgrade process could take days or weeks.

The process could be accelerated by paying Zenny.

The shaking weakened as the countdown had come to an end. After waiting for an hour, the shaking completely disappeared.

Ding!

[Process completed!]

A smile bloomed on Isaac's face when he saw the notification appeared in front of him.

"Let's go to the next stage."

Isaac opened the shop again, then he bought a lot of monsters. This time, he didn't hesitate to buy a lot of monsters and used the zenny he had collected.

[You bought 1x 'High Elf (A)']

[You bought 500x 'Elf (B)']

[You bought 1000x 'Treant (D)']

[You bought 1000x 'Wendigo (D)']

[You bought 1000x ' Bulvak (D)']

[You bought 1000x 'Carnivor Pig (D)']

[...]

In total, Isaac spent around 3.5 million zenny to buy his new monster warriors. The High Elf's price was the most expensive—500,000 zenny for one. Even though the High Elf was not a boss.

Isaac bought it because of the conditions that had to be met to create the elf troops. Without the High Elf, the elves would be like humans with ordinary magical abilities. This was a fact that few Dungeon Masters knew.

Then, he bought the terrain.

[You bought 'Radiant Forest (B)']

Isaac spent 200,000 zenny.

After purchasing everything he needed, it was time to enter the development stage.

"Are you ready, Pippi?"

"Ready, Lord." The answer the little girl gave sounded languid.

Isaac frowned at her condition.

The process of building the 4th Floor was different from the previous floors. Isaac was worried that the little girl's mood would affect the quality of the dungeon they would create. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

He needed to give Pippi some motivation.

"After we finish constructing the 4th Floor, I will allow you to build a house for the bear family."

Pippi's eyes opened wide. "Really, Lord? Including the honeybee house?"

Isaac nodded.

Only then did Pippi look excited. She had wanted to start a bear family for a long time. Isaac had known about it, even way back in his previous life.

"Pippi will do her job to the best of her ability."

The little girl turned into light and disappeared. Then, her figure appeared in the Crystal Core light projection. Pippi seemed to be standing in the middle of an empty, all-white space. She was on the 4th Floor.

"Let's get started, Lord!" exclaimed Pippi telepathically.

Isaac smiled, his palms stroking each other. He then accessed the control panel.

Ding!

[Inputting the 'Radiant Forest' terrain on the 4th floor.]

[Loading the data]

[Processing…]

[Finished.]

The all-white place then turned into a wilderness. As far as the eye could see were lush green trees. The plants were bigger than usual. The mushrooms growing on the tree were the size of an umbrella hood, the grass was almost knee-deep, and the leaves on the tree were as wide as a plate of food.

Unlike other forests in the dungeon, there was never nighttime in the Radiant Forest. The terrain was a suitable place for fye-type monsters.

"Pippi, help me change the structure of the forest."

Then, Pippi began to change the structure of the forest. Some areas of the tree were pruned, replaced with rivers. Some land was dredged, to create a cave.

In addition, he also added decorative objects; such as fallen trees, mossy boulders, or bushes with colourful flowers.

While Pippi worked in the forest section, Isaac created a habitat environment suitable for the elves to live in.

Far in the east of the forest, he placed giant trees that had a diameter of 10 to 15 meters, with a height that could reach 30 meters. He created streams and plants that produce fruit around it, so that the basic needs of the elves were fulfilled.

Isaac did the work with great detail. He kept his eyes glued to the control panel window.
