Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 591 - 524 New Features

Sitting in the church hall.

The golden light outside shines through the transparent glass on the wall.

The entire hall is silent, with no one but Kane sitting in one of the seats.

Heideline and Pedi are still inside the guild hall.

Kane summoned the [Book of Adventure].

Looking at the guild page, the guild expansion symbol was flashing faintly.

Directly clicked to view what new guild expansion functions could be unlocked.

Except for the period right after unlocking guild functions, it had been a long time since he’d seen any new expansion functions. He wondered what recent circumstances had triggered this one.

This time, the newly appeared function was a sub-expansion item, and it was a guild hall expansion project.

[Guild Hall - Forging Workshop]

The function is evident just from the name, and recently, the only event related to forging was Kane bringing Steel Armor into the guild.

Why say there’s a connection? It’s because, according to Steel Armor himself, his forging skills are excellent.

Since bringing Steel Armor into the guild resulted in a matching expansion function, it shows that he wasn’t boasting and indeed is quite capable.

Thinking of this, Kane opened the instructor panel to check which new members could become instructors.

The first to check was Steel Armor, to see what level his forging potion had reached.

[Forging Skills - Grandmaster]

It was the first time Kane had seen a skill rating beyond Master. Steel Wall was now the only person in the guild with grandmaster-level skills.

However, the introduction to the forging skills noted that it was purely technical forging, not magical forging, meaning such skills couldn’t create magic equipment.

The reason for this could only be that Steel Armor’s race inherently lacks any magic talent.

It seems necessary to find a way for Steel Armor to gain magic talent; such forging skills would be too wasteful otherwise.

Besides Steel Armor, Pedi and Heideline each had a master skill.

Respectively, [Magic Weapon - Master] and [Illusion - Master]

Kanske and Zawa didn’t have such master skills, though Kanske had a high-level scouting skill.

Kane reviewed the introduction to the new expansion functions again.

Unlocking the Forging Workshop requires spending 5 Silver Magic Stones. It counts as a mid-to-high-level expense among all unlocked items.

Upon unlocking, a space can be unlocked in the guild hall, similar to personal space or a Spring of Rebirth.

The additional space will be the area of the Forging Workshop. With corresponding skills in forging, one can enter and become a blacksmith within it.

Depending on the blacksmith, the functions of the Forging Workshop also vary.

Kane doesn’t have many magic stones on hand now.

Besides the one magic stone he charged in the dungeon, he only has the 5 Silver Magic Stones given by Raphael’s team.

And the Forging Workshop is not urgent at present, so Kane decided not to unlock it for now.

He decided to store the Silver Magic Stones and reconsider unlocking when they exceed 10, based on specific circumstances.

Then came new information conveyed by the guild page, with an exclamation mark at the top left corner of the page.

Clicking the exclamation mark displayed the new information.

The guild’s number of members was nearing 1500, though most are free forces in the dungeon, regardless, the guild would soon reach its limit.

The guild’s member limit is 2000. To increase the number, one must enhance their own strength to increase the carrying capacity.

This means that the limit on members is determined not by the Book of Adventure, but by Kane himself.

In the future, Kane couldn’t recruit as freely as before; he needed to deliberate carefully since slots were limited.

Fortunately, there was now a restriction.

If Kane completely mastered this dungeon in the future, he might actually bring everyone inside into the guild.

However, the newly added function wasn’t just this one; there was also another new expansion feature.

This function was quite interesting, also an expansion project for the guild hall.

[Guild Hall - Opinion Box]

It’s a feature that only requires one Silver Magic Stone. After using it, a suggestion box will appear at the front desk of the guild hall.

Suggestions on some of the hall’s functions can be written on a note and placed inside; the hall will collect data.

Data would be sorted and presented to Kane in about 1-3 months, enabling him to make simple modifications to some functions in the guild based on certain suggestions.

This feature is quite user-friendly.

Although many functions in the guild hall were already very convenient, there were always some subtle details that could affect the experience.

There’s no need to say more, Kane directly used a Silver Magic Stone to unlock it.

At this time, inside the guild hall.

Adoma was next to the guild warehouse entrance, checking the inventory to see what needed replenishment.

When the guild wasn’t fully open to Explorers yet, it was challenging for the guild to have new members. So most of Adoma’s work was doing these simple yet somewhat tedious tasks.

Soon after, she saw a red mailbox with a Lamp Mark appear with a thud next to her front desk.

"What is this?"

Curious, Adoma walked over to check it out, and Burton noticed the new thing as well, equally curious, and came over to observe.

When Adoma arrived, he saw a note placed on top of the mailbox.

He picked it up and saw it was an explanation of the mailbox’s function.

"Adoma, what is this mailbox? Did you get new furniture?" Burton asked curiously.

Adoma shook his head and explained, "It’s a new feature of the Guild, probably set up by Kane. It allows us to give feedback, and after more than a month, he will screen some suggestions and make modifications to the Guild’s functions and areas."

Their conversation attracted some Guild members who gathered around, and they too noticed the giant mailbox suddenly standing beside the front desk.

After hearing Adoma’s explanation, everyone started writing their own suggestions for modifications to the Guild Hall.

For example, Bonona wrote about wanting personal space where several people can merge together.

Because Milo and Mina often made mistakes, they would escape into personal space alone to avoid their mother’s punishment.

Watching this scene, Adoma couldn’t help but silently commend Kane in his heart. This feature seemed like a small thing, but it inexplicably enhanced the cohesion of the Guild.

Meanwhile, outside.

After Kane exchanged the feature, he closed the Book of Adventure.

Just after he closed it, Heideline and the others were transported out of the spatial Guild Hall.

As soon as Heideline saw Kane sitting nearby, she nodded and addressed him, "Your Majesty."

To be honest, Kane found this title highly inappropriate and could only say, "In private, there’s no need to call me that."

He then asked, "How did the negotiations with Kanske go?"

"They’ve been settled, and in the next few days, we’re planning to relocate all the residents of the town to the cities within the Red Monarch’s territory," Heideline replied.

Finally, Heideline asked Kane, "Your Majesty, do you have any major directions and requirements for the territory’s development?"

Kane didn’t respond directly but instead asked, "Heideline, what do you think might be the most difficult and challenging aspects of developing the Red Monarch’s territory?"

Upon hearing Kane’s question, Heideline immediately replied.

"First of all, the population is too small. Even with the population of this town, the whole territory only has just over 50,000 people. For such a large area, this number is really too few."

"However, would Your Majesty be willing to let me invite some of the hidden tribes to return in your name? They’re hidden because of pressure from the various monarchs, and there are many such races concealed within the Red Monarch’s territory."

Hearing Heideline’s words, Kane immediately nodded and said, "Of course, there’s no problem. Also, I have a teammate currently in the Black Monarch’s territory assisting refugees in need. In a few days, organize some people to go with me to facilitate the refugee rescue transfer."

Hearing Kane’s words, Heideline immediately nodded.

"Are there any other difficult aspects?"

"Food, the issue of food is very scarce."

"Because the Red Monarch previously made reckless modifications to the land within the territory, many farms and ranches were destroyed. Coupled with the war, the entire food cultivation had already become unrecognizable."

Kane nodded to indicate his understanding. After some thought, he said, "I have many excellent seeds of plant foods and various edible livestock young."

"These are new food and livestock, and if you encounter any issues or difficulties during cultivation and planting, you can go to the Guild Hall and ask the Minotaur for advice; they are masters in this field."

It must be said, Kane now feels very fortunate that they had previously captured many animal cubs and a great number of plant seedlings and seeds from the World Restaurant.

After discussing some details with Heideline, Steel Armor and Pedi followed Kane to where Mo Yi and the others were located.

Heideline naturally needed to plan future operations for this city.

Led by Pedi, Kane and Steel Armor found the place where Mo Yi’s race was, beside a corner of the town.

Looking around at the environment, Kane couldn’t help but frown. Although the area seemed passable, several houses nearby appeared very dilapidated.

And through some doors and windows, the Moon’s Children could be seen secretly peeping outside.

These small figures, whether in clothing or on their faces, were somewhat dirty and ragged.

Seeing Pedi, a little girl came out.

Although the little girl looked like a seven or eight-year-old child in terms of height and appearance, the feeling of cuteness was like that of a benevolent elder.

And Pedi’s actions indeed confirmed Kane’s thought.

Pedi directly walked up to the little girl, knelt halfway to hug her, and called out.

"Granny Sara."

Granny Sara also hugged Pedi.

"Lord Pedi, long time no see. Is there something that brought you here today?"

Pedi shook her head, then stood up to point at Kane.

"It’s His Majesty looking for you."

"Your Majesty?" Sara seemed puzzled by this title.

"Lord Kane?"

At this time, Mo Yi’s voice was heard.

Soon, Mo Yi came running out of a house with surprise.

Hearing Mo Yi’s call, Sara finally realized the gentleman before her was the hope for their race’s survival.

Seeing Mo Yi running up and hugging his leg, Kane smiled and rubbed her head.

"Are you Lord Kane?" Sara walked forward to ask.

Seeing Kane nod, she immediately bowed to him.

"Thank you, thank you, my lord, for bringing hope of life to our race."

No one knew more clearly than Sara the circumstances that their race was facing extinction. Without Kane’s appearance, Sara had already begun to wait for the arrival of their race’s demise.

It was precisely because of Mo Yi’s change that allowed Sara to see hope for the race’s survival.
