Chapter 37 - Lair and Equipment Upgrade

 After a night of rest, the first thing he did is to check on the lairs. With 50 different lairs, being the habitat of all his monsters, he need to make sure everything involve with it to be fine.

 "Let see the new lairs then,"

 He casually pick up the improve Slime Lair and approve of it.

< Slime Lair ( Medium ) - A lair for slimes. Can house up to 200 Slimes and will took out 5 out of the System Space ( Lair ) capacities. 

Cost: 10000 LP

Reminder: Fusing 5 Slime Lair (Small) will result in the creation of Slime Lair (Medium) at the cost of 5 Slime Lair (Small) and 5000 LP >

 Looking at the reminded, he could not help but gasp slightly before thinking about it some more. In certain ways it is ergonomic, as the larger lair seem to be more cost efficient in term of it's burden to the lair capacity.

For 1 medium-sized lair, one could hold 200 monsters at the cost of 5 capacity while it require 10 capacity of small-sized lair to allow the same number of monsters to inhabit the small-sized lair.

 He did not have to think about it too much as he quickly upgrade the one he can. In just few minutes, the number of lair in the system space went down from 50 to 14, with 9 being medium-sized lairs while the rest are small-sized one.

After thinking more about it, he decided to do the same thing, but not before evacuating the inhabitants of the remaining small-sized lairs. Considering all of it are variant of Demon Slimes, he did not want to see certain interaction, namely if fire-based slime will melt ice-based one.

 He did not need to do such experiment just yet.

 For now, he need to make sure certain things remain the same and will not lead to disaster.

 "Should I buy new lairs as well?" he thought out loud. From a certain perspective, increasing their numbers will be excellent, but considering he would not likely able to use them, it does not matter for the future.

 After giving it some more thought, he come to an answer,

 "I will get as much as I need. I am going to clear all the goblins in the area and put it inside the system space. Along with wolves and slimes," with the three kind of monsters forming his force, his decision is logical.

 "With the lair already solved for now, let see about the equipment," he said before checking the equipment section.

 A brief look at the equipment section show the same thing, every Intermediate Grade equipment eat up 5 capacity. However, there is one stark difference.

 "Looks like I cannot destroy any smaller one to create a new improve one," he said to himself. Which make certain amount of sense. After all, equipment are not like lairs, and in his old world, some old equipment will be replaced with a new one if is affordable.

 "So, the same thing for equipment as well, except I can bought all I want,"

-x-

 In the end, he did a quick revamp of his equipment, destroying all of his old equipment without thinking much about it, though he was unable to destroy the first three one.

< Unable to destroy the Middle-Grade Transmutation Magic Circle, Middle-Grade Transformation Altar, and Middle-Grade Growth Tube. These can only be upgraded >

 He raised his brows at that, "So the first three can be upgraded only. Make sense as it is the first thing that already inside the system space. Let see how much it is,"

< Middle-Grade Transmutation Magic Circle: Allow user to infuse any subject, living or non-living, with different affinities. Affinities depend on the medium used inside the magic circle. Can now be use on stronger being as well as use more powerful medium for transmutation process. The chance of success also increases

Require Mana Point to function. Mana Point depends on the strength of the object and medium. Chance of success varies. Chance of success increases with better magic circle

 Cost: 5000 LP >

< Middle-Grade Transformation Altar: An altar that is used to dissect different creatures. Can also be used to mutate and transform living beings by infusing them with parts of different creatures. Do not require large body parts in transformation, but it will increase the chance of success. Can now be use on stronger beings. The chance of success also increases.

 Require Mana Point to function. Mana Point depends on the strength of creatures, how much part is used and the type of creatures it comes from, and how compatible the two creatures are. Chance of success varies. Chance of success increases with better transformation altar

 Cost: 5000 LP >

< Middle-Grade Growth Tube: Allows users to grow a part of the creature or even the entire creature. Require only a drop of blood to synthesize the creature but the larger the sample, the greater the chance of success as it is possible for the synthesization process to fail. Now possible to grow stronger beings. The chance of success also increases.

Require Mana Point to function. Mana Point required depends on the strength of the creature, and how much sample the growth tube has. Chance of success varies. Chance of success increases with better growth tube

Cost: 5000 LP >

 "This is too cheap," Alros exclaimed before upgrading all of it. He also bought a lot more Magic Circles, replacing the one he destroyed.

< Middle-Grade Mana Gathering Magic Circle - Increase the amount of mana absorbed by the system space per number and quality of the magic circle.

Cost: 5000 LP >

< Middle-Grade Extraction Magic Circle - Allow the user to extract different materials from an object. For example, if the user want to extract a Fire Medium out of an infused Fire and Earth Medium, the user can do so.

Require Mana Point to function. Mana Point amount depends on the extracted objects and how difficult it is to extract the materials.

Cost: 2500 LP >

 After thinking it through, Alros bought 50 Middle-Grade Mana Gathering Magic Circle, 9 more Middle-Grade Transmutation Magic Circle, and one Midle-Grade Extraction Magic Circle.

 He also bought several Magic Circles for the usage of the women, from transportation one, to storage one, that will help preserve the food for longer period.

 Also, there is one that nearly make him scream in joy

< Low-Grade Water Creation Magic Circle - Use Mana Point to produce water for everyday use and drinking. Water will be pure and uncontaminated. The amount of water per Mana Point depends on the grade of magic circle.

Cost: 1000 LP >

 "Looks like I can use the transportation magic circle for other things then," he exclaimed happily.
