《The Life of a Dungeon》Chapter 35
Advertisement
As Teaghan continued exploring the new dungeon store, she felt a lot of activity at her dungeon's entrance. She pulled her attention towards the entrance and looked out into the world, and saw two people guarding her entrance and a large group of people who looked like they were waiting to be able to enter her dungeon.
The crowd split apart as a woman walked through them right in front of her dungeon. The people following her brought a wooden box and set it on the ground. The woman stepped onto the box, put her fingers in her mouth, and did a high pitch whistle to get everybody's attention. The screech of her whistle quieted everybody within moments.
The woman, realizing that everybody's attention was on her, started talking. "Hello everybody. For those that do not know me, I am guild master Ogi. I am the new guild master for the town and the area around it. The dungeon behind me is under control of the adventurers guild, so anyone who wants to enter must follow the rules," said guild master Ogi as she stared at the faces within the crowd, spotting some annoyed and upset faces.
"There are three rules. One, if a person wants to enter the dungeon, they must be registered with the guild. Two, the dungeon is only open from 5 am to 10 pm. And three, under no circumstances, is anybody allowed to damage, destroy, or steal the dungeon core. Anybody caught breaking the rules will be punished, and depending on the crimes, the punishment could range from fines to jail time, to the death penalty." The guild master paused for a moment to ensure that everybody knew the severity of breaking the guild's dungeon rules, and then she continued on, "To get into the dungeon, you will have to line at the marked area. And if anybody causes trouble, they will be banned from the dungeon for a day." With that guild master got off the wood box and walked back to the guildhall.

Teaghan watched all of this happen, and she realized that she would have a lot of adventurers coming in soon. She also realized that she would not have the time to watch each adventure team go through her dungeon, so she activated her "multi-task" ability and set it so that four small separate parts of her consciousness to monitor the goings of the adventurer's exploration of the first to the fourth floor.
With that, Teaghan went back to figuring out and using the dungeon store. She pulled up the dungeon store interface, selected the selling option, and a blue screen popped up.
Dungeon Store ~ Selling
Please select the blueprint you wish to sell.
Please add the amount of DP that you wish your blueprint to cost.
Teaghan went through all of the blueprints of every creation she had and chose the montesia plant, figuring that she would probably not use it in the next couple of levels, so it would be a good plant to sell. She then figured that 50 DP would be a good choice for a bone-eating extinct species of underwater plant. When she added the amount of DP, a confirmation blue screen appeared.
Are you sure you want to place the blueprint of the plant species montesia for 50 DP on the dungeon store?
Yes
No
She selected yes, and another blue screen popped up.
You have added the blueprint, montesia, to the dungeon store.
The DP that comes from this blueprint will be automatically added to your status screen. If you pull up the montesia blueprint on the dungeon store, you can see how many times it was bought.
Teaghan went back to check on the crocodiles on the fifth floor to see how they were doing. When she turned her attention to the fifth floor, she realized that she forgot to connect this floor to the fourth floor. Teaghan created a stairway from the boss room of the fourth floor down to the fifth floor. She then completed a tunnel that was a little under the waterline, making sure that water covered the tunnel about 30 centimetres deep.

With that done, she decided to explore the categories of the dungeon store that could help her with experimenting.
Teaghan pulled up the dungeon store, selected the buying section, and carefully read through the available categories. She did not realize it when she first looked at the buying section. Still, there were hundreds if not a couple thousand categories, each getting more specific as she scrolled down.
As she scrolled through, she spotted an interesting category: time effects. Teaghan figured that this might help speed up experiments, so she clicked on the category. The list of available time effect related products popped up. The items ranged from abilities to objects to various effects, with DP prices ranging from 50 DP at the lowest and prices that ranged in the hundreds of thousands.
Teaghan saw abilities, objects, applicable effects, and multiple things that caught her attention. She clicked on the products to compare them before she purchased them.
Dungeon Store ~ Buying
2x Time Magic Room Effect [50 DP]
A time magic effect that can be placed on rooms. This specific time magic effect speeds up the room two times faster than the time outside of the effect. Creating a 2:1 effect on the room. Once purchased, this effect can be used unlimited times.
5x Time Magic Room Effect [100] DP
A time magic effect that can be placed on rooms. This specific time magic effect speeds up the room five times faster than the time outside of the effect. Creating a 5:1 effect on the room. Once purchased, this effect can be used unlimited times.
10x Time Magic Room Effect [500 DP]
A time magic effect that can be placed on rooms. This specific time magic effect speeds up the room ten times faster than the time outside of the effect. Creating a 10:1 effect on the room. Once purchased, this effect can be used unlimited times.
Teaghan knew that she had to purchase this, but she had to be strategic in her DP purchases. She knew that she only had 146 DP, so it instantly ruled out the 10x time magic effect. But she departed between whether to purchase the 2x or 5x effect. Teaghan decided that it would probably be the best to choose the 2x effect, as it costs less than the 5x effect, and she did not know how effective the time magic room effect would work. So, she went with the safer option and selected the 2x effect, which cost 50 DP.
When she selected the 2x effect, a purchase confirmation screen popped up.
Are you sure you want to purchase the 2x Time Magic Room Effect at the cost of 50 DP?
Yes
No
Teaghan clicked yes, and another blue screen popped up.
You have purchased the "2x Time Magic Room Effect".
This effect has been added to your "Edit Room" section of your dungeon interface.
With that, Teaghan decided to start experimenting even more.

8 232Papercuts to Fell Immortals
Qing Shen is a girl from the counrtyside, forced into a role she never wanted by a Young Master who's infamy is spread throughout the land. As a Cultivator in the path to immortality, Qing Shen has to deal with her own problems as well as the mysteries surrounding her Young Master. Things, however, are not as they seem, and the young girl finds that sometimes the truth is more unbelievable than the lies we often follow. . . . If you want a less hidden-meaning summary: This story is about the struggles of one girl as she tries to become an Immortal. There won't be any meaningful romance, but there will be a plot that spans most of the story, and violence. Oh the violence! I'm not going to say that my ideas are 100% original (because hoo boy are there a lot of Wuxia), but hopefully I can write something entertaining. Guaranteed things: 1. Cliche events with a twist (I mean, it's literally in the description) 2. Important Characters will have backstories and motivations that will hopefully make them not one-dimensional (honestly, that's just normal stuff...) 3. Untrustworthy characters (everyone in the story lies, even me, so don't trust everything you read... but at the same time, trust everything you read) 4. Goodish grammar (not gonna say mine's the best, but it's readable in most cases) 5. Plot! (Everywhere!) 6. worldbuilding? (Should be there somewhere, but I probably won't do blatant info dumps... probably) 7. Character development? (Its there... at some point...) 8. The story gets dark at some points (if you don't like characters dying, then this might not be your cup of tea) 9. A strong main character? (She'll be strong, yes. However, her enemies are also strong. If everyone is strong, then is she no longer strong? My brain hurts) 10. Wow, this list is going on for awhile... uh, Believable and reasonable Action? (I mean, I'm writing for mainly my fun, so if I want a fight scene, then I might craft a scenario to explain it... or I might suddenly throw in a Dragon and call it a day) This story also goes by the same name over on Webnovel.com, but I'm going to be updating it here because, well I want to. They are both by me, and created by me. If there's anything that seems like a copy of another work, then that's just the genre being saturated by everything under the sun.
