Joriya sighed and shook his head as he packed up his electronics, tucking them into his Bag of Holding since they didn't register as System Items. He stroked the external hard drive that he disconnected gently, like a man stroking the belly of his pregnant wife. Don't worry, my child. I shall make sure that the governments cannot abuse you or limit you, he thought tenderly. I intend to make you into the ultimate being.

He tenderly slipped it into his Bag of Holding, and let the smile fall from his lips, pulling his serious face on again. He pulled up the Shop Options to see what sort of hidden features he had unlocked.

He licked his lips and grinned as he saw the new options. Shop, can you please explain the Founts and why the Health Fount is ten times the price of the others?

*DING!*

[Resource Pool] Fount [500,000]

This Fountain releases [Resource] into the air of a zone, increasing the regeneration of the resource and the likelihood that a Sapient will naturally unlock the usage of [Resource]. People who drink directly from a [Resource] Fount will have that [Resource] forcefully unlocked. Those who already have the [Resource] Unlocked will restore the [Resource Pool] to Full upon consumption. Produces 16 Fluid Ounces a day (in addition to airborne). This is equivalent to 8 Potions.

Health Fount [5,000,000]

This Fountain releases REGENERATION into the air of a zone, increasing the restoration of a person and all Resource Pools they have. People who drink directly from a Health Fount will unlock the REGENERATION Statistic, as well as restore any missing limbs that have not been replaced by System-Accepted Cybernetic Adaptations. Produces 16 Fluid Ounces a day (in addition to airborne). This is equivalent to 8 Potions.

Hmmm... I would pay 250,000 for the Health Fount and it would assist everyone in the Emergency Ward, as well as spread the Regeneration Mist through the entire Dungeon, right? Is there a limit to the number of times I can purchase a Fount?

*DING*

Correct. No Limit to number of Founts Purchased, but it is not recommended to have more than one of each Fount in an area unless you intend for mutations such as Resource Generating and Using flora and fauna.

What would my total be to purchase one of each Fount for the Emergency Ward, as well as applying the Body Core to my Stamina Pool and Regen?

*DING*

Before Discounts, the requested purchase is Eight Million, One Hundred Thousand (8,100,000) PPP. After Discounts, the purchase is Four Hundred Five Thousand (405,000) PPP. Confirm Purchase?

Yes, thank you, Shop. Is this abusing the System, considering that technically the Dungeon is gaining twice what I pay for my items?

*DING*

There is no abuse of System Mechanics detected. Thank you for your consideration.

Let's raise Luck to 100, which should grant us a higher quality of loot overall. Shop, please purchase Luck Statistic from 21 to 100.

*DING!*

This Purchase would cost Four Hundred Eighty-Four Thousand (484,000) PPP before Discounts. After Discounts are applied, you will be charged Twenty-Four Thousand, Two Hundred (24,200) PPP. Please Confirm.

Confirmed, and again, thank you!

*DING*

Good luck with the Challenge!

Thank you. May you always prosper and have a wonderful day.

Joriya closed his eyes as he sensed probability flex, bend, and swirl. Having his Luck stat at a hundred started to make his brain hurt a little before it settled into the background, like any other subprocess. If his mental statistics were higher, he could handle more of it at a time. He decided not to raise any other statistic, as it would make the competition too easy because of his adamantium and mythril gear.

Glancing at his status, he nodded. Alright, time to see what is going on with herding the staff and patients to the Emergency Ward.
