Reincarnated in a Novel World-Chapter 12 - : Compensation

[You can do that in the future.]

"What?" I was dumbfounded by Neo's sudden prompt.

"Neo, you can reply to me automatically without even asking?" I questioned, as I had never heard him reply on his own before.

"Yeah," Neo confirmed. "I just didn't want to.

Currently, my main function will deactivate for around three years.

I will assist you with my intelligence, as I have gained all knowledge related to this world as compensation."

"What? You received compensation for not being able to provide me with the 'Mall' function, but I didn't receive any compensation?" I shouted, feeling a sense of injustice.

"Sorry, host, I forgot to tell you," Neo apologized.

"You also received compensation. The exchange rate has been changed for three years. It is now 100 UMB - 1 E.P. Of course, all money should be obtained by you without any external help."

"Oh! I also received compensation," I replied happily, realizing that I could accumulate a lot of 'Exchange Points' in three years.

As I continued chatting with Neo, my handwatch suddenly rang, and I furrowed my brow at the random call.

I answered the call, and a voice spoke in my ear, "Master, we have reached your villa."

My brow relaxed as I realized that it was the servants, I had purchased from the System mall.

"Okay, I'm coming to the gate," I replied.

"Okay," the voice responded, and the call ended.

**The Servants' Point of View:**

"The master has called us to wait at the gate of the villa," one servant said to another.

"Okay," the other servant calmly replied, and they both started to wait for the master.

**The Butler's Point of View:**

The butler had arrived at the villa at 5:00 p.m. and was currently resting after checking some documents.

*Knock*

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?" the butler snapped.

"It's… it's me," a voice came from the gate side.

"Young master, it's you. Okay, come in," the butler replied, realizing it was his young master.

As the young master entered the room, the butler asked, "Uncle, I have hired two S rank players using one billion.

I made an excuse of spending one billion, as they say, 'even if the snake dies, the stick doesn't break.'"

"Young master, are you serious?" the butler exclaimed. S rank players were the highest rank players in Province Xth.

"Yeah, uncle, I'm serious," the young master replied with determination.

"Okay, but I will first check them. And you didn't tell anybody about this, right?" the butler asked seriously.

"Yeah, I didn't tell anybody," The young master replied happily. His mission had been completed.

The two of them moved toward the gate of the villa, where a man and a woman stood waiting.

"Master," they both said, bowing towards the young master.

"Okay," he replied, feeling a bit embarrassed as his uncle watched him incredulously.

"Uncle, this is Zhu Zhen, an S rank player with a profession in Business Management. And this is Zhou Wen, also an S rank player with a profession as a Necromancer," the young master introduced both of them to his uncle.

*Cough* *Cough* 𝚋ｅｄｎ𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃｏ𝚖

"Young master, let's invite the guests into our villa," the butler suggested.

"Yeah, let's enter the villa," the young master agreed, and they all went inside.

"Aunty, please bring three cups of coffee," I said to the maid who worked in our house.

"Okay, young master," she replied and went to fetch the coffee.

"Uncle, she will help you in the business and can even protect you. And he will protect me. You three can discuss the details amongst yourselves, as I'm going to my room," I informed my uncle.

"Eh! Young master, who needs protection? I'm also an S rank player," my uncle replied, his pride hurt at the thought of being protected by a woman.

I smirked at his response and went to my room. I lay down on the bed and thought, "My uncle has never married because he has always carried big responsibilities on his shoulders. Why not help him connect with her?"

But that can wait for the future. Right now, I should focus on other things.

"Neo, I know you have access to my previous life memories. Can you use the link auxiliary function on all the dungeons that have a chance of being the protagonist in Province Xth?" I asked, smirking.

"Okay," Neo replied.

The link auxiliary function was activated, and a web-like structure appeared in all directions, covering an area of 200,000 km^2, with me at the center.

[Ding…]

[Tower has been linked]

[Westland Dungeon [C] and Ghost Dungeon [C] have been linked]

"Oh! All of these dungeons have certain unique rewards for the protagonist. But E rank is enough for me to complete the hidden mission, as my stats are limited to that of a C rank player in F rank," I thought.

"Let's increase my intelligence and spirit stat points," I decided. I took the intelligence stat crystal in my hand and activated the 'Predator Absorption Technique.'

A force regulated in my hand, and a warm flow of energy entered through my hand, nourishing every cell in my mind.

A prompt appeared before my eyes.

[World System]

[You have gained 1 Intelligence]

I continued absorbing 200 F-grade spirit stat crystals, 260 F-grade intelligence stat crystals, and 4 E-grade intelligence stat crystals, which took about half an hour.

After absorbing all the stat crystals, my mind and spirit felt relaxed and clear, and my tired body disappeared.

I checked the time on my handwatch and realized that it was already 7:30 p.m.

I decided to make the most of the next four hours and explore an F-grade dungeon.

"Neo, link me to any F-grade dungeon," I requested.

"Okay," Neo replied.

[Ding…]

[Ape Dungeon [F] has been linked]

"Neo, transport me to the Ape Dungeon," I commanded.

"Okay," Neo complied, and I was transported to the Ape Dungeon.

[Note: Ape Dungeon stat crystal attributes are strength and constitution]
