Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 672 - 594 Guild Expansion

The sun had fully risen by this time.

Inside the Guild Hall, the morning hustle and bustle had also subsided.

In this rare moment of tranquility, Kane finally started to attend to his important matters in the Guild Hall.

"Come, come, everyone stand up from your seats and gather behind me." Kane said to the remaining guild members, as well as Burton and Adoma.

At this moment, Longbei and Meizike appeared in the Guild Hall. After stepping out from the teleportation portal, they saw a large group of people standing in front of them.

Longbei walked up and patted his brother on the shoulder.

"What's going on here? Why is everyone gathered here, doesn't it block the way?"

Burton replied without turning his head, "Kane said he wants to carry out some renovation and expansion of the Guild Hall."

"Expansion? Renovation? Did Kane come into some money?"

Longbei asked in confusion; Kane had talked with them about these things before, but at that time, there weren't many Silver Magic Stones, so it was postponed.

"Seems like it, the Amis Squad provided a maintenance fee."

"Oh, no wonder."

In fact, Kane already had 15 Silver Magic Stones. Before the Amis Squad provided the maintenance fee, Kane had already accumulated 10 when he cleared the Platinum Country.

The reason he delayed the expansion until now was because when he first created the Intelligent Core of Lamp after drawing the Golden Skill, he conceived the current idea.

It wasn't until this morning that the Lamp Core was completely improved.

With the infusion of another 5 Silver Magic Stones, the Guild Hall's area expanded once more, this time tripling in size compared to the previous area.

The entire hall immediately felt exceedingly spacious.

But the area was quickly halved, with an additional layer directly constructed on top.

The meeting room and other important areas were moved to the second floor, while all areas related to entertainment and leisure were set up on the first floor.

In an instant, the entire Guild Hall became significantly more spacious and tidy, but this time Kane did not immediately fill it with furniture and decorations.

With so many people now in the guild, he didn't need to handle these matters personally; he left it to the members to discuss and decide. After all, deciding on a decor style by one person wasn't wise.

He couldn't exactly say he wanted to slack off.

Once the expansion was completed, it was the key focus of Kane's plans for the guild's expansion and the reason he waited until now to do it.

The Lamp Intelligent Core appeared in Kane's hands and was held up by him.

It floated into a semi-circular steel transparent structure on the ceiling and then firmly embedded itself in place.

Then, similar projections and audio broadcast and reception structures could be seen in various hidden areas of the Guild Hall.

Furthermore, Adoma's workspace was slightly moved forward, and a separate space was set up for her.

The space contained many touch screens and was constructed with a more technological style.

The bar counter of Burton was pushed back and expanded.

"Alright, everyone, it's done. You can now tour the new Guild Hall. Many areas are still empty and undecorated, so you can discuss and decide among yourselves."

Hearing Kane's words, everyone dispersed like a swarm, heading towards directions of interest.

Only Kreya and the others remained by Kane's side. They had just seen the Lamp Core embedded in the ceiling.

Others might not know, but they were well aware that this intelligent core was the most powerful unit Kane had aside from Yoyo.

It might not even be inferior to Yoyo, just more focused on information processing and collection.

Kane had discussed his ideas with them previously, and now that the Lamp had been installed, it meant Kane's vision was coming to fruition.

Thus, they stayed next to Kane, looking at him with an obvious intention.

"Come on, give it a try, see if it's as convenient as you say." Longbei said aside.

"Don't rush, don't rush, there are still important things to sort out." Kane replied.

Then, Kane waved his hand, releasing Magic Power.

He created a series of fist-sized round machines, all white, except for a blue-glowing eye structure.

The only marking on them was the Lantern emblem.

These robots floated in front of Kane: "Lamp, begin the reception, and check the signal stability."

At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded next to Kane: "Received, checking…"

Longbei and others saw it; the voice actually came from a small hole on a nearby wall.

Next, a blue beam emitted from the hole, constructing a virtual panel in front of Kane.

A connection was being established with the spherical robots.

"Check complete, signal stable, wireless energy supply stable, surrounding magic power abundant."

With the check by Lamp completed, Kane once again expended a significant amount of Magic Power to solidify the spherical robots in front of him.

Once they become fully real, these robots will automatically float up and can perform various convenient tasks under the control of the Lamp.

There's no longer a need for the Ghost Maid to assist in the Guild Hall, after all, they don't really like such work.

These machines will replace the Ghost Maid in those service-oriented tasks.

Longbei and the others are quite accustomed to these relatively smart and advanced things, after all, Kane occasionally brings out these things for various experiments.

These smart devices are a piece of cake for Longbei and the others, they can understand their functions with ease.

Then the group dispersed, testing the intelligence level of the current Guild Hall.

With their hands-on teaching, other guild members quickly followed along and learned.

After all, with voice control, there's not much operational barrier.

At this moment, Kane arrived at the front desk and saw Adoma looking bewildered at the various devices around her.

"Let me introduce you, there's now an intelligent assistant in the Guild Hall that can help you with some tedious and complex tasks."

After speaking, Kane clapped his hands.

Then a virtual sphere of blue light appeared in front of Adoma.

"Hello, Adoma, I am the intelligent core Lamp of the Lantern Guild."

"Hello, Lamp," Adoma said.

She was once the receptionist at the Explorer's House and interacted with many members of the Mechanical Association, so she knew some interesting uses of intelligent machinery.

"So Lamp, what can you help me with?" Adoma asked curiously, looking at the virtual image in front of her.

Hearing Adoma's words, the Lamp's voice rang out.

"I can help you with recording information and data, and can retrieve them anytime you need. I can also assist with some tedious tasks."

"Based on your work habits and methods, I can optimize myself to better assist you."

Hearing the Lamp's words, Adoma nodded.

Seeing this scene, Kane smiled and said, "Then Adoma, you should get along with him well. Once you get used to it, he will greatly reduce your work's busy nature and stress."

After all, much of Adoma's work involves data calculation, inventory counting, and arranging various affairs, all of which the intelligent core can help handle effortlessly.

Then Kane left the front desk and went to Burton's bar.

"I said Kanshan Chrysanthemum Wine, not Snow Mountain Chrysanthemum Wine!" Burton, who was experimenting with cocktail mixing, said to the nearby spherical robot.

The blue sphere in the middle of the spherical robot, resembling an eye, was actually a Magic Power Source.

Besides helping him discern the surroundings, it could also use the Mage's Hand.

Now, the spherical robot was using the Mage's Hand to hand a bottle of wine to Burton.

Upon hearing Burton's words, the robot also emitted the Lamp's voice: "But you only said Chrysanthemum Wine, you didn't specify which mountain."

"Alright, alright, next time remember, if the mixed drink is light, use Snow Mountain, but if it's strong, use Kanshan."

"Okay, Burton, I will analyze that next time."

Then, the spherical robot took the bottle and flew to the back of the liquor cabinet to switch out the drinks.

"How's it going, Burton, are you finding it convenient?" Kane asked with a smile from the bar.

Burton shrugged and said with a smile, "Not bad, but it needs a little more fine-tuning. I'm sure it'll be more useful later."

"Even apprentices need time to learn, right?"

"Hahaha, you're right, I was just thinking too fast."

Later, perhaps Kane wandered around the guild, finding that most members were arguing over how to transform the available spaces.

For example, whether an area should be turned into a leisure tea room or an entertainment room.

Especially over the large area at the back of the first floor - whether to build a hot spring or a swimming pool - the debate was ongoing.

"I say, brothers, this is a Guild Hall!" Longbei couldn't help but say.

"Yes, yes, indeed, such things really aren't suitable for a Guild Hall."

"Indeed, I was thinking too ideally."

Upon hearing their words, Longbei shook his head again, "What I mean is why not build both? Just build a swimming pool in the summer and turn it into a hot spring in the winter, right? This is the Guild Hall, use your imagination!"

"Right, I forgot, we can change it freely."

Seeing this scene, Kane helplessly shook his head.

Then said to Longbei, "Once you're done, come to the meeting room on the second floor, and bring Kreya Adoma and Burton along, why isn't Lirululu here yet? Inform her too."

Hearing Kane's words, Longbei nodded and made an 'okay' gesture.

Today's second update.
