Chapter 2: The Future Master Builder?

  Orc?

  Looking at the ugly and robust monsters in front of him, Jain pushed his glasses up, and a hint of undisguised disdain flashed through his eyes. He had never had any good feelings towards this kind of goods with an IQ equal to 9. Foolish, incompetent, only knew how to cause trouble. Although Enya had suggested recruiting a few half-orcs for defense, Jain still vetoed the idea.

  Its more likely for these half-beasts to demolish houses than to guard the underground city.

  "Oh oh oh oh oh!!"

  And seeing the frail monk in front of him, those half-beasts didnt know if they had found a target to vent their anger or had some other idea. The leader of the half-beast group roared and then tightly grasped his battle axe, pouncing towards Zhan En. Behind him, the remaining half-beasts also raised their weapons, following closely behind in big strides.

  Zhan En merely let out a cold snort upon seeing this scene.

  "You stupid trash, youre useless too."

  As he spoke, Jian stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

  BOOM!!!

  The next moment, dazzling lightning filled the entire passage, and the scorching thunderbolt was released from Zhan Ens fingertips, whizzing forward. For a time, the dazzling white light engulfed everything, and as far as the eye could see, the whole world was nothing but white.

  It seemed like an eternity, or perhaps just a moment. When the white light faded again, what appeared in front of Zhan En were only a few corpses that had been completely charred, twisted and torn apart.

  The enemies invading the underground castle have been completely annihilated, and the lord has gained 85 experience points.

  So I said those inexperienced and annoying trash are very hateful.

  He glanced at the prompt in front of him again, and Zhan En furrowed his brow. The biggest drawback of the dungeon system was that although it could allow the monsters he hired to upgrade individually, there was no way for Zhan En to upgrade alone. If he wanted to level up, he had to absorb the overall experience value of the dungeon and level up with the entire dungeon together.

  A single monster upgrade only requires a little over 100 experience points, but to upgrade an entire dungeon to level two, thats going to take thousands... No wonder Jian En is so unhappy. In the face of thousands of experience points, his meager less-than-100 experience points arent even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

  Forget it, at least this is also a source of income. Thinking of this, Zhan En snapped his fingers and soon five short goblins came out from the depths of the corridor, carrying sacks and pickaxes, shouting as they flew out. They began to search through the charred corpses, collecting everything that could be used and all the treasures. Then they dragged the bloody bodies away in a mad rush, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

  Unfortunately, the dungeon level is too low. If it were possible to build a graveyard and prison, these corpses could at least be used to cultivate a few skeleton soldiers for myself.

  As for death, Jian had already become quite indifferent to it. In the early days of his rebirth in this world, he was indeed not very adapted to death. However, after spending so many years in the Demon Realm, death, corpses, and blood had taken on a whole new value for Jian.

  "Huh?"

  At this moment, a figure trembling in front of Zhan Ens eyes made him raise an eyebrow. To think that the systems prompt to himself was 【Annihilate the Enemy】, so it seemed that this uninvited guest didnt count as an enemy in the eyes of the dungeon?

  Thinking of this, Zhan En couldnt help but feel a little curious, and then he walked slowly towards the other person.

  As Zhan En walked over, the figures trembling grew more intense. Under the gaze of the flames, Zhan En also saw the true face of his opponent.

  At first glance, she seemed to be a human girl, no more than ten years old, wearing a somewhat dirty dress, timidly leaning against the wall and staring at herself. However, Jian En recognized her true race from her slightly tanned skin and subtle differences.

  That is a dwarf.

  The dwarves are one of the races that live in the dark underground. In Zhans view, the biggest characteristic of this race is their body shape. Adult dwarves are only about as tall as 12 or 13-year-old children, and they look no different from kids. They have all sorts of naive and fanciful ideas.

  If I had to summarize it, theres only one sentence - a whole tribe of legitimate lolis with a long shelf life (at least 100 years), if placed on Earth, would make loli fans cry tears of joy and run wildly.

  "Dont kill me...... Dont kill me......"

  As Zan walked up to her side, Becks was so scared that she almost fainted. She had clearly seen how miserably those terrifying half-beasts died, and even the few most powerful warriors were completely incinerated without being able to make a single move under the hands of this terrible demon king.

  Looking at the dark figure approaching her, Becks face turned pale. The stories of the dark underground castle where the demon king ate people that her parents used to tell her resurfaced in her memory. Was she going to be taken away by this demon king and eaten as a snack? Or would she become the sacrifice for some terrifying experiment? Stone was above, Becks was still young, Becks didnt want to die yet!

  Its interesting.

  Looking at the dwarf in front of him, Zhan Ens mouth slightly curved up, revealing a hint of a smile. Dwarves were cautious and careful creatures, and Zhan Ens underground castle was not close to the surface, so he rarely saw such intelligent beings. Previously, those who came to his underground castle were mostly inferior creatures like Terrorclaw Goblins or Half-Beasts. Now that the system had sent him a captive, although he didnt know what this dwarf could do, at the very least, it could serve as a servant for himself.

  In this way, Enyo can also be freed from her part-time maid identity.

  "Get up."

  Thinking of this, Zhan En said in a low voice as he stared at the dwarf in front of him. Hearing his words, Beike Si was frightened, but she still supported herself against the wall and stood up tremblingly.

  "Whats your name?"

  "Compare, compare, compare Kexi. Kexi... Moon Crystal..."

  “…………………”

  What kind of messy and weird name is this?

  "So, Beatrix, are you willing to swear by your true name, to be forever loyal to me, to submit to me, to offer your soul to me, and become my most faithful servant?"

  As he spoke, Zhan En stretched out his right hand. Soon, beside his hand, a strange, twisted bright red symbol appeared out of thin air, quietly suspended in mid-air. Beike Si stared blankly at the bright red symbol, her originally clear eyes gradually becoming dull and dim, she nodded towards Zhan En with a bewildered expression.

  "I, Beixi Yuejing, am willing to eternally serve you, great master..."

  One side was like a dream, muttering to herself, while Becks stretched out her hand, and just as her right hand touched the bright red mark, the mark suddenly turned into several fine lines that quickly merged into Becks body. Immediately after, the dwarf fell to the ground like a wooden puppet with cut strings.

  At this moment, the pleasant system prompt sounded again.

  "Ding......"

  A new member has joined your dungeon, Recruitment of Beatrix Moonwhisper (Silver) successful.

  Daily recruitment task completed, 100 experience gained, new building added - Summoning Crystal

  "Huh?"

  After seeing the second system prompt, Zhan En was stunned for a moment. He remembered very clearly that this times daily recruitment task was an architect - could it be that this dwarf was actually an architect? Moreover, Zhan En also saw clearly that the previous evaluation given by the system to Beikesi was (White Silver), which meant that she was actually of the same level as Enoa?

  Thinking of this, Zhan En hastily concentrated his attention and looked at the dwarf who was lying on the ground. Soon, another character information bar appeared in front of Zhan En.

  Bikusu Gekkou (Shirogane)

  【Combat Power: ☆ (This is a trash with combat power less than five)】

  Management: (She can tidy up everything, from sweeping the floor to burying corpses, making her the best helper for home travel and murder)

  Properties

  【Personal Exclusive Task "Bixies Future"】——Dont think that youve obtained a beautiful jade, in the dark realm nothing is more worthless than gems.

However, even the most foolish person can possess the protagonist halo due to chance encounters, everything depends on how the script is written. Requirements: Cultivate Bixie into a talent, advance to become an Architect Master or Inventor Master. Reward: 5000 experience points, Underground City expansion +1

  Master Builder?

  Even Zhan Yans heart skipped a beat at this sight. If he could really cultivate the dwarf in front of him into an architectural master, then he wouldnt need to go negotiate with those greedy Gray Dwarves anymore. And even if not an architectural master, with Bikusis current skills, helping him build his underground city would be no problem!

  Adding the previous task reward to the summoning crystal for oneself, ones own underground castle finally has a rough outline!
