"Orc?"
Jenn pushed up his spectacles as he gazed at the ugly and strong creatures. His eyes flashed with disdain.
He didn't have a good impression of these creatures with an IQ of 9. They were stupid, incapable, and would only cause trouble.
Though Enoya suggested that he recruit a few Orcs to defend the Dungeon, Jenn rejected the idea.
Rather than relying on the Orcs to defend the Dungeon, it was more reliable to rely on them to demolish houses.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
The Orcs didn't know if they found a target to vent their anger on or if they had other ideas.
The leader of the Orcs shouted furiously, gripped his Battle Axe tightly, and pounced on Jenn.
Behind him, the remaining Beastmen also raised their weapons and strode behind him.
Seeing this, Zayen just snorted.
"Foolish trash, I don't need you for anything."
As he spoke, Zayen stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
Boom!!!
A dazzling radiance of lightning filled the entire tunnel. A scorching Lightning Spear was released from Jenn's fingertip and whizzed forward.
In an instant, the dazzling white radiance devoured everything. At a glance, there was nothing else in the world except for white.
It felt like a long time had passed, or maybe it was just an instant.
When the white light faded again, what appeared in front of Zayen were a few completely charred, twisted, and torn corpses.
[The enemies who invaded the Dungeon have been eliminated. Dungeon Lord has obtained 85 EXP.]
That's why I said these annoying trash with no EXP are annoying.
Zayen glanced at the notification that appeared in front of him again and frowned.
The biggest shortcoming of the Dungeon system was that though it could allow the monsters that Jenn hired to level up, it couldn't allow Jenn to level up alone.
If he wanted to level up, he had to absorb the overall EXP of the Dungeon and level up with the Dungeon.
Leveling up a single monster only required over 100 EXP, but leveling up a Dungeon to Level 2 required over 1,000 EXP … This was why Jenn was so unhappy.
In the face of thousands of experience points, less than 100 experience points were not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
Forget it, at least it was a source of income.
At this thought, Jenn snapped his fingers. Shortly after, five short Goblins scuttled out from the depths of the corridor with sacks on their backs and pickaxes in their hands.
They began to scrape the charred corpses, collecting all the usable items and treasures.
Then, he dragged the badly mutilated corpses and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
It was a pity that the level of the Dungeon was too low. If a graveyard and prison could be built, the corpses could be used to nurture a few Skeleton Soldiers.
As for death, Jenn was already indifferent to it.
When he first reincarnated into this world, he was indeed not very used to death.
However, after staying in the Underworld for so many years, death, corpses, and blood had a whole new value to Jenn.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, a trembling figure swept past Jenn's eyes, and he couldn't help but frown.
The system prompt was [Annihilate all enemies], which meant that this uninvited creature wasn't an enemy of the Dungeon?
At this thought, Zayen couldn't help but feel a little curious. Then, he sauntered toward the young man.
As Jenn walked over, the figure trembled even more violently.
Under the illumination of the flames, Jenn saw the true appearance of the figure.
On the surface, it seemed to be a little human girl, no more than ten years old. She was wearing a somewhat dirty dress, timidly leaning against the corner of the wall and staring at him.
But Zayen recognized her true race from her slightly brown skin and the slight difference in appearance.
She was a Gnome.
Gnomes were one of the races of the Underworld. The most unique characteristic of this race, in Jenn's opinion, was their body size.
An adult Gnome was only as tall as a 12-year-old child, and their appearance was no different from a child.
They had all kinds of naive and wonderful ideas.
Of course, if Zayen were to sum it up, there was only one sentence — a whole group of legal lolis with a very long shelf life (at least a hundred years). If this was on Earth, lolicons would definitely burst into tears and run for their lives in joy.
"Don't kill me … Don't kill me …"
Bikini was so frightened that she almost fainted when Jenn walked to her side.
She clearly saw how those terrifying half blood beastmen died miserably. Even the most powerful warriors couldn't withstand a single move from this terrifying Demon King before thoroughly turning into charcoal.
Looking at the pitch-black figure approaching her, Piccolo's face turned ashen. The stories of the Demon King eating people in the dark underground city that her parents told her in the past resurfaced in her memory. Could it be that she would also be captured by this Demon King and eaten as an appetizer?
Or will I be the victim of a terrifying experiment?
Oh my God, I'm younger than Bikini. Bikini doesn't want to die yet!
Interesting.
Looking at the Gnome in front of him, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled up into a smile.
Gnomes were cautious creatures. Jenn's Underworld wasn't close to the surface, so he didn't usually see such intelligent creatures.
Previously, those who came to his Underworld were Terrorclaw Monsters, Orcs, and the like.
Now, the system sent him a captive. Although he didn't know what this Gnome could do, at the very least, she could be his servant.
In this way, Enoya could be freed from the identity of a part-time servant.
"Stand up."
At this thought, Jenn looked at the Gnome in front of him and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing his words, even though Bikini was terrified, she supported herself against the wall and stood up in trepidation.
"Your name?"
"Bi, Bi, Bikini.
Bikini Mooncrystal … "
"…"
What kind of stupid name was that?
"So then, Bikini, are you willing to use your real name to swear eternal loyalty to me, submit to me, dedicate your soul to me, and become my most loyal servant?"
As he spoke, Zayen stretched out his right hand.
Shortly after, a strange, distorted, scarlet symbol appeared out of thin air, hovering quietly in midair.
On the other hand, Piccolo stared blankly at the bright red symbol. Her clear eyes gradually dimmed. She lifted her head blankly and nodded at Zayen.
"I am willing … Bikini Mooncrystal is willing to be loyal to you forever, great Master …"
While muttering to herself as if in a dream, Picas stretched out her hand. The moment her right hand touched the bright red symbol, the symbol suddenly turned into several thin lines and quickly fused into her body.
Then, the Gnome collapsed to the ground like a puppet with a broken string.
At that moment, the melodious sound of the system notification rang once more.
"Ding …"
[A new member has joined your dungeon. Recruitment of Bikini Mooncrystal (Silver) is successful.]
[Daily Recruitment Mission completed. Obtained 100 experience. New building added — Summoning Crystal.]
"Hmm?"
After seeing the second system notification, Zayen was taken aback.
He remembered clearly that the Daily Recruitment Mission was an architect. Could it be that this Gnome was actually an architect?
Not only that, but Jenn also clearly saw that the system evaluation of Bikini was (Silver). In other words, she was on the same level as Enoya?
Thinking of this, Zayen hurriedly focused his attention and looked at the dwarf on the ground.
Soon, another character information panel appeared in front of Zayen.
[Bikini Mooncrystal (Silver)]
[Race: Gnome]
[Combat power: ☆ (This is a trash with less than 5 combat power)]
[Management: ★ ★ (She can organize everything in an orderly manner, from cleaning the room to burying the corpse. She is the best helper for killing people at home and traveling.)]
[Influence: ★ (You have to look at the owner before you beat a dog. Without you, no one will listen to her.)]
[Loyalty: ★ ★ (Fear and terror are also a way to buy people's hearts, especially when one is using one's life as bait.)]
[Characteristics]
[Invention — Gnomes are naturally fond of invention and creation. Their wisdom can sometimes bring unexpected results (Additional creation + 1)]
[Fantastic idea — There is nothing unexpected, only impossible. Sparks of wisdom will always appear inadvertently (5% chance of discovering rare blueprints)]
[Possess special skills]
[Strange item creation: The ability to invent and create all kinds of strange items. There is no limit to the type.]
[Architectural design: The ability to design and build ordinary buildings. There is no limit to the type.]
[Personal exclusive mission "Bikini's Future" — Don't think that you have obtained a beautiful piece of jade. In the Underdark, there is nothing less valuable than a gem.
If it is not carefully polished, then even the best raw stone will become a waste.
But even the stupidest person will have the protagonist's halo because of a fortuitous encounter. It all depends on how the script is written.
Requirements: Nurture Bikini to become a Master Builder or Master Inventor.
Reward: 5000 experience points, Dungeon Expansion + 1]
Master Builder?
Even Jenn's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
If he could really nurture this Gnome into a Master Builder, then he wouldn't need to negotiate with the greedy Gray Dwarves.
Even if she wasn't a Master Builder, with Bikini's current skills, it wouldn't be a problem for her to help him build a dungeon!
Coupled with the Summoning Crystal that he had received from the previous mission, his dungeon was finally starting to take shape!
