Chapter 79 - Muddled Thoughts (2/2)
Sicario believed that Will would take his time, but Will unhesitatingly said, ”I need points, the more the better.”
Points were used to purchase many things from the system, and it was possible to transfer points from one person to another. Sicario was curious as to what Will wanted, but he decided to leave his curiosity unsatisfied.
”Very well, the Empire will gift you a million points to use at your leisure. Unfortunately, Lord Solitary, you will not be allowed to request anything else aside from these points. Is this what you desire?”
Will nodded vigorously like a chicken pecking corn. When he heard he was receiving a million points, he had to suppress the urge to whistle. Points could only be earned from clearing a dungeon or receiving a title due to incredible achievements. Each star a dungeon had represented 50 points you could earn from clearing it. The user who killed the Boss of the dungeon received these points. The sheer amount of points caused Will to wonder just how many dungeons they had cleared to be able to so generously give them out.
'Hawt diggity dang! A million points! Once Letty finishes the changes to the city, I will be able to buy that, hahahahaha!'
While Will dreamt about what to do with the points, Sicario chipped in, ”Lord Solitary, I have one more piece of news. Your level is a bit to low at the moment, so once your new subordinates arrive in a few days, we will have you head over to a dungeon for you to level up.”
Dungeons were buildings that housed beasts and many treasures like maps, weapons, spells, techniques, etc. If you cleared a dungeon, you would gain a lot of experience. Different dungeons had different numbers of levels, the lowest number being three. These were called three-star dungeons. Four-star dungeons had four levels, five-star dungeons had five levels, etc. The more stars a dungeon had, the higher the grade of demonic beasts, and the more experience and rewards gained from clearing its levels.
Until you cleared the level you were on, you couldn't leave a dungeon. Once a dungeon was cleared, it would disappear along with its rewards. Every world began with a certain amount of dungeons, and the number would only decrease from there.
”Lord Solitary might not know this, but each star also represents 25 levels. Thus, a three-star dungeon would have a boss with a maximum level of 75. The first-floor boss would have a maximum level of 25, the second-floor boss level 50 and so on. We will need Lord Solitary to be capable of clearing a three-star dungeon with your own power. Of course, your subordinates can assist you. There is a dungeon a few miles outside the city inside an abandoned gas station. It is north of the city and a popular spot for hunting parties. We have verified that it is a three-star dungeon. You must clear that one.
We will also use this as an opportunity for you to get used to your subordinates abilities and improve your teamwork. You have one week to finish the dungeon. With your skill set, I believe it should be easily achievable.”
After a long conversation, Sicario and his crew left the city. Before Silverton left, he shot Will one last look as if he were trying to burn the young man into his memory.
Will turned toward Letty. ”Letty, I have an issue to deal with tomorrow, but before that, let me fish some. When I return, I want you to have finished building that thing underground.”
Will shot for the skies before she could respond. Letty sighed while looking at his disappearing silhouette.
”I have a nagging feeling he is about to do something crazy. Sigh, I'll just focus on my job.”
Letty opened her menu and performed her duties. She had a lot of work to do because the designs Will wanted were not part of the template the system provided, so she had to design the whole thing herself.
