4 Dungeon building

Ding!

[You got landscape ' Grassland]

[You got 50x 'Blue racer']

[You got the trainee sword]

[Emergency transport Ticket.]

Grave smiled. "Exactly the same."

"Wow! congratulations Master! you got so many snakes"

Well, everything he got was trash. What could he expect from a wooden chest?

Besides, Grave already had plans to follow.

"Open the shop," Grave said.

"Oh, Master already knows the special shop feature in the dungeon for Dungeon Masters." She nodded. "It turns out that the Master really knows all the basic information." Yunyun seemed to let out a sigh of relief. While Grave focused on the blue screen that popped up in front of him.

<Shop >

[Buy]

[Sell]

After opening the shop, Grave sold all the Blue racer snakes in the shop.

[You get 30 gold ]

Instantly, Yunyun's eyes opened wide. "Nooooo! what are you doing, Master?" She grabbed Grave's leg and frantically started shaking it. "Master, did you know that everything you sell is half the original price?!"

However, Grave ignored the little girl. He needed as much money as he could get to make his plan more productive. Blue racer snakes were too powerful to release them anywhere. It much better to get more weaker snakes right now. 

They even consumed so much space. He wanted to sell his trainee sword, but from the shop, he could only buy or sell dungeon-related things.

He selected the 'Buy' option and a new list appeared in front of him.

<Buy >

[Monster]

[Monster Boss]

[Traps]

[Terrain]

Grave scrolled the list for a long time in silence. His finger played with the menu options available in the shop. While his brain was working on how to optimize this negligible amount of money. What to buy and what not? With this meager amount of money, he had to build a dungeon and as well as fill his space village that could sustain the dungeon.

In creating both the dungeon and space village, he needed to focus on a few important things.

Monsters, terrain, monster bosses, and traps, for the dungeon.

Environment, Food chain for Space Village.

Let's talk about the dungeon first.

If a dungeon was a castle fortress, then the monster in it were soldiers that defend this castle. For that, Grave needed powerful monsters. At the same time, he needed to maintain a balance between them.

Now talk about space village.

If the dungeons were castles and the monsters in them were soldiers, then Space Village was like the place where normal people live, from which the Dungeon master could select new monsters for the dungeon defense.

He had to make a stable environment here so that in the future when the dungeon monsters died, he could fill those gaps with the newborn monsters present in the space village.

He needed to make it so that the dungeon could support itself financially.

[You bought 50x 'Slime']

[You bought 50x ' White rabbits']

[You bought 50x ' Toothless Rats']

[You bought 30x ' Horned snakes']

[You bought 30x ' Dark green snakes']

[You bought....]

After purchasing the required monster. Next, he bought the terrain and traps.

<Terrain >

[You bought The ' Maze' terrain]

[You bought The ' Tropical forest' terrain]

[You bought the 'Rock mountain' terrain]

...

<Traps >

[You bought pit mechanisms]

[You bought Arrow shoot mechanisms]

....

[All terrains and traps added to your inventory]

Terrains didn't just function as decoration in the dungeon. It also functioned as a habitation for monsters.

If the habitation of the monster was not suitable, they would weaken. Some would not be able to reproduce while others would die.

It depended from species to species on which terrain was most suitable for those monsters.

"Last, monster bosses," Yunyun said.

Monster bosses were the strongest existence on every floor, and there was only one. They were the last line of defense, preventing anyone from outside from climbing to the next floor.

However, Grave didn't buy it.

Yunyun had a questioning look on her face. He pointed to the leftover funds. Seeing that low money left, she immediately understood.

In total Grave spent 110 Gold. Even the weakest boss monster was more expensive than the leftover 20 gold coins.

Now it was time to move to the next stage.

"Activate the control panel."

Another pop-up blue screen appeared. This time there were a lot of options listed there and a blank map. A 3d diagram of the entire dungeon showed up. Everything was blank in the dungeon for now.

"Yunyun, help me recreate the details of the Dungeon's first floor."

"Master, before you start, let me tell you. You can only take out monsters from Space Village to Dungeon, not vice versa."

"Yup I know it all, Come on let's start"

"Okayi!"

Not long after, Yunyun disappeared and showed up on the 3rd diagram on the first floor.

Grave looked at his inventory. He had bought 5 weakest poison-type snakes, each 30 in number. There are 3-4 prey monsters for these snakes. All his monsters only consume one capacity space, as they all were weak. Stronger the monster, the more capacity space it consumes.

Grave's hands then flashed, and his finger pressed the various options on the control panel screen.

Ding!

[Inputting the 'Grassland' Train on the 1st floor.]

[Loading the data]

[ Processing....]

[Finished.]

In the 3d diagram, what originally look blank white had changed to a green landscape of grassland that had a couple of inches long grass. Above the roof was a bright sky with specks of white clouds. Golden rays of sunshine peeking through the clouds gave a bright color to the place.

Yunyun was bouncing up and down on the grassland. Grave reminded Yunyun to stay focused on her duty. After synchronization with the Dungeon core, he could communicate via telepathy with Yunyun.

Then, the little girl started doing her work. With both her hands touching the ground, suddenly a light appeared like a swarm of fireflies. Not long after, small water swamps form in a few places. There was also a river form that flows from one end of the 1st floor to another end.

After that, Yunyun started creating other little things like flowers, Stones. One by one, the missing details of the terrain began filling in.

While Grave still looks busy with the control panel screen.

[Input x 20 'Slime']

[Input x 20 'White Rabbits']

[Input x 10 'Green snakes']

[Installing pit mechanism]

[Input...]

Grave scattered various monsters and traps onto the map. He didn't drop haphazardly. Every monster that sends down has predators except snakes.

"Well, I have now created a basic lively environment. This environment is most suitable for Snake growth. That is good for now. I will improve it in the future."

Thousand of mistakes in his previous life taught Grave a lot of lessons. One of those is Village development is more important in the starting phase.

It took 1 hour for Grave to build the 1 floor. After that, he proceeded to the 2nd floor with the same process.

For the second floor, he selected the 'Maze' terrain. For this terrain, Yunyun had very little to do. She only spread some moss here and there. There were also some water ponds and basic things. Grave spread the monster who lives on the rocky train here.

The main thing on this floor was traps. He had bought many traps for this floor. The setting of those traps took extra time and in total it took 2 hrs to complete this floor. Grave spent extra time to make this floor as much deadly as possible.

Without a monster boss, his dungeon was very breakable. However, there was no worry at all on Grave's face.

"Yunyun comes back. Let's go to Space village."
