Chương 12: [12] New Function
Paul stepped through the shimmering blue portal and into the dungeon. The air inside was dank and cool, carrying the faint scent of earth and decay. Dim torchlight flickered from sconces along the cave walls, casting eerie shadows that danced and shifted.
"System, scan the dungeon," Paul muttered, preparing himself for what lay ahead.
[Scanning Dungeon...]
[Dungeon: Primitive Goblin Dungeon]
[Enemies: LVL 1-10 Primitive Goblins, LVL 10 Goblin Chief (Boss)]
[Objective: Defeat all enemies, including the boss, to gain maximum EXP and loot.]
[Warning: If the boss is not defeated, the portal will corrupt and release dungeon monsters into the world.]
Paul's heart raced with anticipation and excitement. The dungeon was a small but dangerous place, promising both challenges and rewards. He tightened his grip on the Kotetsu katanas, feeling their weight and balance. The thought of their bleeding effect made him smile; he was ready to test it out.
He proceeded cautiously, the soft crunch of gravel underfoot the only sound as he navigated the winding corridors. After a short distance, he encountered his first enemies: a group of Primitive Goblins. They were small, green-skinned creatures with crude weapons and beady eyes that gleamed with malevolence. Despite their numbers, they appeared no match for Paul's enhanced strength.
Paul then charged. He was confident that with his current stats, no monster in this dungeon could rival him. The goblins barely had time to react. He dispatched them swiftly, each swing precise and devastating. It was a slaughter; the goblins couldn't resist Paul's attack at all, and seconds later, the group of goblins lay on the dirty ground, all sliced in half or mutilated to the extreme.
[EXP +50] [EXP +50] [EXP +50] [...]
Paul's level increased rapidly as he continued through the dungeon, each group of goblins providing ample EXP. He used Sonic Speed to close distances quickly, allowing him to engage enemies before they could scatter or launch a counterattack. The increased agility made him a whirlwind of motion, evading strikes and delivering lethal blows with ease.
As he progressed, he encountered more formidable foes, including goblins with rudimentary armor and slightly more advanced tactics. The skill Dragon's Might came in handy, the world around him shimmering with the surge of his newfound power. His strength doubled instantly, allowing Paul to finish the groups of enemies and handle them without losing momentum.
[EXP +100] [EXP +70] [EXP +50] [...]
The dungeon's layout was a series of interconnected chambers and tunnels, each one teeming with enemies. Paul pressed on, dispatching foes with ruthless efficiency. The constant flow of EXP kept him motivated. Level 3, Level 4, Level 5... just in a few minutes of slaughtering, Paul reached Level 9 and was now just a few kills away from unlocking a new function of the system.
After a while of walking down a huge passage, he reached the final chamber of the dungeon, where the Goblin Chief awaited. The Goblin Chief was larger and more imposing than the other goblins, clad in a patchwork of stolen armor and wielding a massive club. Its beady eyes narrowed as Paul entered, and it let out a guttural roar that echoed through the cavern.
Paul activated Dragon's Might and Sonic Speed simultaneously, draining his mana completely. He then charged at the Goblin Chief with blinding speed. The boss's attempts to swing its club were futile as Paul darted around it, slashing with precision. The bleeding effect from his katanas took its toll, the Goblin Chief's health dropping rapidly.
The battle was fierce, but Paul's superior skills and enhanced attributes made short work of the Goblin Chief. With a final, decisive blow, he cleaved through the boss, sending it crashing to the ground in a heap.
[EXP +1000]
[Dungeon Cleared!]
[Congratulations on reaching Level 10, Fusing Function unlocked]
Paul stood over the fallen Goblin Chief, catching his breath. The dungeon had been a valuable source of EXP, and the boss had provided a substantial reward. The dungeon's exit appeared in the form of a shimmering portal.
"System, is there no reward or loot for killing the boss?" Paul asked angrily. The dungeon was not difficult, but he still wanted to get something after clearing the whole thing.
[If you leave the dungeon, you will receive a reward. Additionally, all the monsters in this dungeon possess a Mana Crystal, including the boss.]
"Oh, okay, good. But couldn't you say that earlier? Now all these Mana Crystals are back there. How much is one crystal worth?"
[All the Mana Crystals except the one from the boss are combined worth 50 System Points.]
"Nah, that's not worth it," Paul said.
"System, what is this Fusing Function?"
[You can fuse skills, items, etc., to combine their abilities, appearance, function, and so on.]
"That sounds powerful," Paul said, opening the interface and clicking on the Fusing button.
[Fusing]
[Item] + [Item] + [...] = [Item]

"Simple design. I will try that later."
With that, Paul stepped through the portal and back into the forest. The morning sun was higher now, and he felt a renewed sense of accomplishment. His level had risen significantly, and his power had grown even further.
[Congratulations on beating the Dungeon]
[200 SP Obtained]
[1× 50% Discount Ticket Obtained]
"A discount, interesting. System, does the discount ticket have a limit?"
[The discount can only be used for one item.]
Several hours had passed since Paul was last at the camp, so he decided to return to the camp first before anyone started worrying.
Upon arriving at the shelter, Paul went directly to his Money Printing House. The machines were now full of freshly printed bills. Paul stored all the money in his inventory and exchanged it for SP.
3067.67 System Points—that was the exact amount of SP Paul had right now, and he knew exactly what he wanted to spend it on.
"Now let's try to fuse a money printing machine with a battery, a stronger motor, and a huge container for the money," Paul said to himself.
Paul then opened the shop and bought a money printing machine, a battery, and a container to store the money. The container, however, was not just any ordinary container but a space artifact.
[Space Array]
A space array powered by surrounding Mana and Qi. It can also be powered by Qi Stones or Mana Crystals. The size of the space is limited to 200 m².
[Info: The array can be combined with other types of arrays.]
[Quality: Rare]
[Quantity: ∞]
[Cost: 400 SP]
[Buy] [Back]
After purchasing it, Paul began implementing his plan.
[Fusing]
[Money Printing Machine] + [C771 Industrial Battery] + [Highspeed Servomotor] + [Space Array] = [Upgraded Money Printer (Uncommon)]
[Price: 200 SP]
[Confirm] [Cancel]
Paul now had a money printer that could work almost indefinitely, bringing in even more money. The only problem was that the price for a single machine was 730 SP due to the array.
Next, Paul wanted to address the storage of the machines. He couldn't keep his machines in a concrete house forever; after adding two more machines, space would run out.
Paul decided on a space ring, which he would always carry with him. This way, he could always access the machines and feel more secure about the safety of his treasures.
[Space Ring]
[A ring equipped with a small space array. It doesn't have a weight limit but is limited to 400 m² in space.]
[Quality: Rare]
[Quantity: ∞]
[Cost: 500 SP]
[Buy] [Back]
Paul didn't need to think for long; 400 m² wasn't small at all. It was like a little office building and could fit many machines.
After that, Paul stored all the tables and machines from the concrete house in his inventory. He then entered his Space Ring and placed them all.
The inside of the space was plain white. The walls were all far away from Paul, and the boundaries of the room seemed to blur the longer one tried to discern them. Despite this, the room had a calm and peaceful atmosphere, inviting relaxation.
After placing the old machines, Paul fused a new machine, creating a second upgraded printing machine. He now had five normal and two uncommon money printing machines. Paul then bought two new tables made of thick wood, placed the new machines on them, and turned them on. He then focused and exited the Space.
"Let's not waste time, there are still existenses i cant even look at right now, i need to get stronger"
With that beaing said, Paul bought another 2 Dungeon Scrolls of the Goblin dungeon and continued on clearing them, half an Hour later Paul was back standing before the empty Concrete House, after successfully clearing the two Dungeons and reaching Level 19.
