that is a wow amount of magic power.
"Dungeon Core, explain how to gain magic power." i command
"command accepted.
generating answer.
magic power can be collected with three different way.
1. passive absorption, let dungeon absorb magic power from outside world slowly.
2. active absorption, guided by Dungeon Boss the dungeon can absord a lot more magic power from outside world. beware : Challengers may try to break in early as active absorption can effect the well being of outside world inhabitants.
3. magic power recycle, allow challengers to enter and fight in the dungeon. the magic power they used will be recycled by dungeon for its own. killed challenger will also be harvested for their magic power. "
three method, eh?
"Dungeon Core, can we increase the speed of passive absorption?" i ask
"command accepted.
generating answer.
Dungeon Boss can increase passive absorption speed by equiping absorption tool.
the said tool can only be acquired through manual creation by using resource generated in the dungeon."
blasting balls! being passive can only be accepted at later stage then.
my only option is magic power recycle or active absorption. but i don't want to open my dungeon yet. i am not ready. the dungeon is made for fight and war, while i am just a newborn. i need to learn to fight first before i open my dungeon.
then it leaves me with only one choice, active absorption.
"Dungeon Core, explain the process for active absorption" i command
"command accepted.
generating answer.
Dungeon Boss can do active absorption by connecting itself to the Dungeon Core and doing Meditation.
the activity can also be called Cultivation, but the purpose of it is still to actively gather magic power for dungeon use."
meditating? cultivating? what is that?
"Dungeon Core, Explain meditating and cultivating" i command
"command accepted.
generating answer.
Meditation or Cultivation, in this regard is one and the same.
Dungeon Boss need to concentrate and focus their mind then try to feel magic power that exist in the outside world through Dungeon Core.
then Dungeon Boss must use all their mind and heart to gather the magic power into Dungeon Core."
that is a process that both easy and hard to understand at the same time.
lets see..
connecting to Dungeon Core, i can do that with just touching it right?
okay i already put my hand on Dungeon Core.
now i need to focus. on what?
Mother of Dungeon said dungeon is shaped as a tower. so i think i want to imagine a tower. a tall and solitude building that stand alone in the middle of nowhere.
okay now i need to feel magic power in the outside world. i think the magic power must be like birds that flocking around a tree. lets use that.
feel....feel.....feel..... asleep...oh!
feel....feel....fell down.. ouch!
this is not working!
let me think again. what is it that Dungeon Core said about feeling magic power. focus my mind. so is it like, keeping my attention on anything that surround my dungeon ? i can try that.
okay once again. touch the Dungeon Core. imagine the dungeon shape and magic power around it.
what should it feel like? i don't know.
focus..... on anything outside the tower.....
focus..... on magic power.....
focus..... this already quite a while.....
focus..... hmm?
is that it?
it is like flowing wind or river that move through my tower. and it is everywhere!
now lets begin to gather it into my dungeon. using all my heart and mind.
come here magic power. come hereee...comeeee hereeeee... COOMEEEE HEREEEEEE!!!!
"report!
Active Absorption is initiated.
Dungeon Magic Power : 0 (+1/hour) "
WHATTT!! I HAVE TO DO THIS THAT LONG JUST FOR ONE POINT!!
