Chapter 206 – 206. Labyrinth Expansion
I felt refreshed after blowing away the bug babies.
Coexistence? Coexistence is only coexistence when the level is right. How dare these bugs who can’t do anything discuss coexistence? It’s so absurd that now even the bugs are being damned.
“The Earth is mine.”
The Earth is mine, not anyone else’s. Well, it seems like I am the strongest human being at the moment, but if I am not the master, then who is the master?
“For now, the operation of the fish farm has ended. Wouldn’t it be better to combine it with the base labyrinth?”
[It might be okay since the dangerous creatures have been removed, but wasn’t the monster reset on a weekly basis?]
“That’s right. So, will those bugs just be reset a week later?”
[It is highly likely.]
“Hmm. If it happens again, we’ll burn it all to death.”
[How smart you are!]
Okay. Is there anything special? I roughly figured out their level. So, the next time it crawls out, just burn it all.
‘Still, I have to warn my companions.’
If you enter without realizing it, you could get hurt.
“Then let’s put this together.”
[While I’m at it, I think it would be a good idea to join Dimension Market as well.]
“Good.”
Let’s start operating the labyrinth.
******
Once I got out of the abandoned fish farm. Then, just in case, all the people in the base labyrinth were taken out.
“Please take a break in that building.”
I guess it will be okay since we evacuated to the guild building. Because it’s warm over there.
“Then.”
I had a lot of magic stones and gold coins piled up.
Now, you can use this to combine the base labyrinth and fish farm.
[Labyrinth Operation(-)]
[Effect: Forced interference with conquered or owned labyrinths becomes possible. You can now change the state of the labyrinth or combine two or more labyrinths into one.]
[Handicap: If you intervene too heavily, the labyrinth will become distorted. In order to interfere with the physiology of the labyrinth, a huge amount of magic stones and gold coins are needed.]
The only skill I gained after robbing the blood world and killing a lot of vampires was labyrinth manipulation.
If you have this, nothing is impossible.
[Labyrinth Type: Infinite Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: Intermediate to High]
[Labyrinth Name: Mixed Underground Base]
[Entry conditions: Survival level 5 or higher]
[Imposition target: (none)]
[Goal achievement reward: (none)]
[Capacity: 0/30]
[Labyrinth Type: Infinite Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: Advanced]
[Labyrinth Name: Abandoned Fish Farm]
[Entry conditions: Survival level 15 or higher]
[Imposition target: (none)]
[Goal achievement reward: (none)]
[Capacity: 0/10]
When I used the combination while holding two labyrinths, a notification came to mind.
[You can combine the two labyrinths by spending 10 advanced magic stones and 100 gold coins.]
I had enough magic stones and the gold coins I received as payment for the request, so I was able to combine them right away. Now the two labyrinths will be merged into one.
[Labyrinth Type: Infinite Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: Advanced]
[Labyrinth Name: Tangled Underground Base]
[Entry conditions: Survival level 10 or higher]
[Imposition target: (none)]
[Goal achievement reward: (none)]
[Capacity: 0/40]
The combination was successful. If we look for changes that are immediately noticeable, the name of the labyrinth has changed from Jumbled to Tangled. Additionally, the difficulty level has increased from upper intermediate to advanced.
Additionally, the entry requirement increased from 5 to 10, and the number of people allowed increased from 30 to 40. It just feels like it’s all merged into one.
“Hoo.”
Everyone in our group has a survival rating of 10 or higher, so there is no problem. However, I was slightly concerned that the difficulty of the labyrinth had increased. But.
‘Everyone is trying to conquer the simple labyrinth, but it is possible to conquer the advanced level.’
How many skills did I give you? If it doesn’t work, you can act as a dark spirit.
“Next.”
This time, I plan to combine the dimensional markets. Going outside the base labyrinth every time you go to the market is a waste of movement.
[Labyrinth Type: Infinite Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: None]
[Labyrinth Name: Dimensional Market]
[Access conditions: None]
[Target: Invite 10 merchants]
[Goal achievement reward: right to collect taxes, fixed labyrinth – black market drug dealer’s den]
[Capacity: Unlimited]
This is the explanation window of the dimensional market.
There is a goal in this labyrinth. Invite 10 merchants.
‘I’ve invited about 3 people now.’
An engineer and a wandering doctor. And I invited a weapons craftsman today.
Soon, if you invite Alchemist Toad, there will be 4 people.
‘If we just bring in 6 more people, we can collect taxes.’
There will probably be no shortage of gold coins.
“Once combined.”
I don’t know if it will be combined or not, but I decided to combine it first. I hope the price is reasonable.
[You can combine the two labyrinths by spending 20 advanced magic stones and 150 gold coins.]
“Wow. Prices are going up.”
[It feels like the more you mix, the higher the price will be.]
“Yes.”
Still, what can you do? I think it is right to combine the Dimensional Market.
[Labyrinth Type: Infinite Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: Intermediate]
[Labyrinth Name: Combined Underground Base]
[Access conditions: (none)]
[Target: Invite 10 merchants]
[Goal achievement reward: right to collect taxes, fixed labyrinth – black market drug dealer’s den]
[Capacity: Unlimited]
“And. Wow!!!”
[This. I got my money’s worth.]
When the base was connected to Dimensional Market, a significant change occurred. First, the name changed. This is trivial. Then the difficulty level went down. This is just like that.
It was better when the difficulty level was higher because higher level magic gems tend to come out more easily. But that’s not what’s important right now.
“Access conditions and number of people allowed…”
You can enter regardless of survival level, and the number of people that can be accommodated has been changed to unlimited. This meant that even those who were not awakened could enter without any difficulty, and anyone could enter the labyrinth with my permission.
“Because the dimension market was extremely wide.”
I guess they’re telling me to at least sleep out there. Since the entire Dimensional Market is a safe area, we will be able to put all the people there.
In the first place, in order to properly activate the dimensional market and make money, ‘external guests’, i.E. Aliens, had to be the main customers. To do this, survival level was not considered as an entry requirement and the number of people that could be accommodated had to be fixed to an unlimited number.
“Finally…”
[Are you planning to combine the Sanctuaries of Raythena.?]
“Huh. That’s how it should be.”
[Probably Asmorphia…]
“I have a rough guess, too. It’s okay.”
[Indeed. You already noticed.]
“Yes. Probably Asmorphia…”
I have now accepted that there is a high possibility that he disappeared after saving me from the evil spirit.
“But I might come back.”
[Surely. There is no physical evidence that it has completely disappeared. I might come back.]
So I decided to put them together for that time. It would be easier to find if they were combined into one.
“Okay then.”
[You can combine the two labyrinths by spending 1 advanced magic stone and 1 gold coin.]
“What. Why is it so cheap?”
[I don’t know the rules. Is it because there is nothing in the labyrinth?]
“Huh. Anyway, it’s good. “It’s cheap and good.”
It was decided to merge the collapsed sanctuary of Raythena into the base labyrinth.
[Labyrinth Type: Infinite Labyrinth]
[Difficulty: Superlative]
[Labyrinth name: Sanctuary for base]
[Access conditions: (none)]
[Target: Invite 10 merchants]
[Goal achievement reward: right to collect taxes, fixed labyrinth – black market drug dealer’s den]
[Capacity: Unlimited]
The name of the labyrinth has changed. And the difficulty level has risen to the highest level.
“Huh.”
The rewards will be better, but the risk has also increased, so you need to be careful.
“Whew. “Then let’s go in.”
Now we have to take a look at how the interior has changed. It may look completely different from before.
******
“What the fuck are you doing?”
The labyrinth has changed. It looks completely different from before.
[The area is clearly divided.]
Originally, the base labyrinth was a rectangular wooden communal living area with five doors. And each of those five doors was connected to a sewer, a catacomb, a cave, a forest, and a private living area.
Here, at the end of the private living area, there was a door leading into the master’s workshop.
[Raythena’s sanctuary has been changed to the central hall.]
“I see.”
The changed labyrinth was noticeably different from before. In the round central hall, there was a statue of Raythena that Asmorphia possessed and spoke to, and there were arched passages on the right, front, and left in the direction you came in.
They are all made of stone.
“The right one.”
It was an unidentifiable letter, but somehow it was readable because it was inside the labyrinth.
“Living area. On the left is infrastructure.”
[The passage ahead is a great underground labyrinth.]
“I see. What a great labyrinth. The name is so bloody.”
The labyrinth, which was originally divided into five parts, was integrated into one, and the living area was combined with the dimensional market, greatly expanding.
Also, the infrastructure on the left was a mixture of the forerunner’s workshop and fish farm.
“The labyrinth has completely changed.”
[I guess I’ll have to search again from the beginning.]
“Huh.”
The strategy chart that Yeongsik made may have become a bit useless. Yeongsik must be sad.
‘But we have improved further.’
You will get more. First, we need to take a clear look at the living area.
The white line representing the safety zone extended to the central hall and living areas. There are no white lines on the infrastructure and underground labyrinth sides. It means that monsters appear.
Then, let’s start with making a light map…
“Ah. No. Let’s just order someone else to do this.”
[Huh?]
“There is no need for me, the strongest one, to draw a map of the labyrinth. “It’s a waste of time.”
[Definitely so.]
“I gave you map-making skills, so you can make maps on your own. Just tell us what to keep in mind, and we will immediately…”
The devil hunt begins.
Yes, this is correct for me. Why are you peacefully observing the Node Labyrinth?
Immediately go into the Demon King’s warehouse in the Fixed Labyrinth and kill Lamech, Bival, and Abalam.
‘If you get a golden reward box, resurrection stone fragments, and Paimon’s crown… Plus the soul stones of Lamech, Bival, and Abalam…’
It can also be turned into a dark spirit.
I can’t stand it.
Let’s get right into it.
