The following day after Ray chatted with Ed, he went back to the Morningwood Dungeon.
And for Ed's offer, Ray had no other choice but to accept it. He knew that Ed only had a kind intention for him, and seeing how determined Ed was when he invited him, Ray felt a bit bad if he was to reject him.
Now, Ray, who went back to his dungeon, was playing with his chicken. If he was going to explore the dungeon with Ed, the first thing that came to his mind was to strengthen his power, and for that, the chickens were necessary.
It was the reward of the chicken dungeon, the chicken poop fertilizer that Ray was going to synthesis right now. Thus, he came to the chicken's room and waited for them to poop.
" Coop!" { The hell, boss. Stop staring at us when we poop, don't you know it felt so uncomfortable?}
" Nah, my place, my rules."
" Coop-Coop!" { Fuck You, boss.}
Soon, all the needed poop was gathered, and Ray instructed the Boss Chicken to bring the poop and placed them together in a sack.
" Well then. Let's see the materials for making the chicken poop fertilizer. System, please display it for me."
.
[ DING!!! Affirmative host.]
[ Chicken Poop Fertilizer Crafting recipe]
[ Material: Chicken poop x3, Spirit pool water x1.]
.
Ray looked at the material needed and smiled.
" Okay, this should be enough then."
He brought the sack to the Dungeon-Core room, where the spirit pool was located and placed his hand on top of them.
" Convert to chicken poop fertilizer."
A flash of light immediately shone upon the sack, and Ray got a new notification.
[ DING!!! You have got Chicken poop fertilizer x8]
Next, Ray, who already got the chicken poop fertilizer, decided to go to the planting room. The dungeon exploration with Ed will be on another month. Thus Ray wouldn't want to waste any time standing idle.
He took the fertilizer with his hand and started to apply it to his plants one by one.
And of course, as the protagonist of the story, Ray's plot armor instantly activated after he placed all the fertilizer on the plants.
Just when he finished applying the fertilizer, one of his plants, the chicken berry, suddenly glows golden.
It seems because of the effect of the chicken poop fertilizer, the chicken berry got mutated or even evolved.
" System, could you tell me what's happening?"
[ DING!!! Because of the high synergy of the chicken berry and the chicken coop fertilizer, the chicken berry plant has evolved into a King Chicken beery plant.]
.
[ King chicken berry.]
[ A staple food for the chickens has a low chance to evolve a chicken danger-beast.]
.
" Nice!" Ray never thought this would give him such a big gain. Just by applying fertilizer and one of his plants could evolve. He felt like the true son of the plane now.
He came closer to the King chicken Berry plant, and when he looked carefully, he could see a few berries had been mature enough to be harvested.
[ DING!!! Due to the special nature of evolution, the maturity of the fruits has been greatly shortened. The host could harvest some of the berries now.]
Another notification from the System that made Ray felt today really was his lucky day came.
His smile getting wider, and he moved his hand closer to harvest the King Spirit Berries.
At the end of the harvesting, Ray now has eleven King Spirit berries on his hand. Enough for every one of his chickens to get one.
' Hmm, should I just give them those berries right now? Nah, forget it. It would be better to make it an incentive for them to work harder.'
Ray dispelled the thought of giving them freely to the chickens. His dungeon was in severe lack of manpower since he was the only one who did everything. Thus, Ray had made a plan for the chickens to become his labor force.
He put back the King Chicken Berry in the storage room, and while on the way back, he placed his hand on the Dungeon core.
' System, do the daily sign-in.'
[ DING!!! Daily Sign-in reward: DM +300.]
' Not bad.'
Now he had done the farming and sign in, Ray had nothing left to do again in the dungeon.
He started his daily routine by playing with Freed in the morning and sometimes did a little sparring session. Farming in the afternoon, and lastly do other things like signing in or checking the shop after that.
Actually, if this were another normal day, Ray would definitely choose to go back to the orphanage with the little guys and play. But since he was in a bit of a rush to increase his strength, he decided not to do so.
" System, can you issue me some mission? It has been a while since you last issued a mission, right?"
Ray's choice was to ask the System for a mission.
In fact, he had other options to went into the government-controlled dungeon, but it would not be as effective as going into the dungeons that the System had issued to him.
So, he would first ask for some missions from the System, and if that still did not work, he would go to the government-controlled dungeon.
[ DING!!! Please wait a minute host.]
[ Checking the host surrounding environment.]
.
[ DING!!! A new mission has been generated.]
[ Evolve your monster one time.]
[ As a good dungeon monster, Your monster should be strong as well. Evolve one of your monsters and display your talent to be a good dungeon master.]
[ Reward: Bloodline Evolution potion, Daily dungeon and Daily mission unlocked.]
[ Time left: 5 hours.]
.
' Fuck!' Wasn't this mission just pitted him. He had decided to use the berries as an incentive for free labor from the chicken, but now the mission wanted him to give them freely.
*Sigh* At least the reward seems to be good enough for him.
Ray stopped caring about it and went to the chicken's room.
