Authors disclaimer:-
Sorry guys for the dry week, but I wasn't in the right mood to write anything, so i didn't. As for the release from now days, I'm going to apply a schedule.
Chapter update will be on- Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri.
The rest of the days are for me to get my mind straight.
Like this I will be able to amass some chapters for the rainy days an also might start giving out happiness in bulk.
A small change in the last chapter.
Thanks for the suggestions reading the bonuses with level ups and stuff but its alright, there is no need to give out something like that so early I the game, after all not like the levels holds any importance for him right now.
So, the level increase changed from 21 to 31. I did the math... this time i used a calculator so don't worry, I'm 100% sure about the calculations.
level increase = mean of sum of the levels of everyone killed/ 3(No of his affinities) +n(monster which can evolve who are taking part in the kill)
all the enemies contributed four more levels.
.
Enjoy.

Third Persons P.O.V:-
‘30 eggs waiting to hatch into healthy little larvae, 7 worker ants, 1 buff worker and one ultimate warrior, their queen and two, no, three floors. Seems nice and cheesy doesn’t it?’
Rocky’s expectations grew more, as he remembered and counted his forces and his and his dungeons growth and potential made a smile grow on his face.
‘About resources, though the mushrooms have a large area to grow, their growing speed isn’t too great and even though the whole first floor can grow about nine thousand mushrooms but they also take three days to mature, so it’s kind of disappointing. No, I shouldn’t think like that doesn’t this mean we can harvest three thousand Dc’s just from mushrooms every single day? It’s already enough. Atleast we won’t have to forcefully make the humans stay inside our home as a guest.’
He was thinking about their situation and their future to be and his smile grew tender. He dazed and looked towards Minie and saw her handling the Ants and commanding them to complete the digging of their second floor.
Time passed and by the time night came the ants had already dug three fourth of the floor. It was all thanks to the courtesy of little Buffy, of course.
After they dealt with the humans and planted the mushrooms, Minie and rocky decided to wait for their second floor to complete and move the queen to it before dealing with, no, before moving onwards towards checking their newly opened option, the resource corner.
Though they were really excited, especially Minie, but they decided to control their urges and finish their work before getting together to play.
Rocky glanced and mentally messaged Minie to ask about the clothes and items which he had collected from the humans from their latest skirmish.
“Minie, what should I do with them? Should I melt these too?”
“Huh, oh, yeah, see if there is any important or useful artifact, otherwise melt them all. Okay.”
“Okay.”
He wanted to just get done with it already as the melting process was too slow and more slower something gets the more bizarre and boring their results turns out to be, but he still opened the waste item bag to see what kind of haul they had gotten this time, but it only disappointed him and nothing more.

“Oh! The sword and Armor… They seem nice, but the skills… they are a bust this time, huh.”
Though there were skills dropped by the humans, moreover it seemed to him like all the thieves had loose pockets and droped their skills before getting killed. The drops were huge, but the quality of the drop wasn’t. He didn’t know about other but at least for him It was useless. He didn’t give them a second look and directly saved them all.
‘Sigh… though they are of no use to me, but we can at least reward them to some lucky fellow for an occasion or something.’ He thought, as the newly acquired skill didn’t meet his requirement, but even though he was nagging about it being useless, he still learned it.

“Yes.”
He learned the skill, but he was once again informed by a glaring red window about the skill being useless because of him not meeting the class, and only sighs came out of his mouth.
“Sigh. Well, whatever.”
Though the skill according to him had no meaning and use, but he still felt a little hurt when the prompt about it getting locked appeared in front of him, but he shrugged the worry and pain away and looked at the information of the Red Sword and the black armor, which gave him some comfort before he stacked them inside his inventory.

Though the sword provides excellent ability and turns a cat into a lion, but excessive usage leads to the person losing their minds and going Berserk.Effects:

He also checked the Black armor, but it turned out to be a simple common iron Armor.
After he looked through everything which gained his attention, he melted the rest of the confiscated goods. He was going to wait for them to melt and had thoughts to try meditating this time because according to his memory melting items takes a long time, but to his surprise this time even though there were a lot more items than before, the melting ended in less than ten minutes.
The astonishment was written all over his face, as the speed shown by the system this time was too great to compare to anything before. But unlike before there were also no upsets or surprises this time around.
From the melting he got:
[+ 15 Poor Quality Leather
+ 54 Crude iron ingots]
And this was enough to show how poor those humans really were. Though all of them were wearing armors and had swords and daggers dangling on their waists but their items, their items were worth nothing more than crap.
‘Looks like the shields gave most of the iron ingots, but do they really have any use for me? Well, whatever, she will tell me once I get ready anyways. Therefore let’s not waste time on such a useless discussion.’

His thoughts were abstract and his condition was great and because the second floor was also almost finished he decided to move the queen onto the second floor. She also followed the request easily and agreed to leave her first home to travel down to new lands and opportunities.
First they had to create another room of the same size to accompany her big size. And the room took just two hours to complete and by the time mid night hit them they were ready to move the queen on to the second floor.
But then a problem occurred.
“So Minie, how should we do this? Isn’t she actually too big to move through the tunnels?”
His worry was valid and his question was important, but Minie didn’t fret over something like that and happily answered him back.
“Umm, yeah, she is, but there is no need to fret about it, as there are other ways to do something so simple like moving a monster in a dungeon.”
“Huh, really? Then what are those seemingly different ways you are talking about?”
“We can just teleport her.”
“What? You mean we can move her directly to the second floor?!”
He got more excited than depressed when he heard that. Though this meant that there were still things about a dungeon that he didn’t knew, but he didn’t care about such at the moment.
“Yes.”
“It would be amazing if we could, but how?”
“It’s simple; everything which can’t be explained naturally can be explained by saying…”
He smirked, shook his head and said.
“That it is a function of the dungeon itself?”
“Correcto. Yes it’s a simple function of the dungeon and not only can we teleport or move monsters like this, but we can also shift floors.”
“WHAT!?” who wouldn’t get surprised hearing that the floors of their home could be easily shifted and Rock wasn’t much different from normal humans either, so he exclaimed.
“YES.”
“AH! Sorry, it was too much information for my small heart to take care of.”
“Oh don’t worry~”
“Hah, so shall we do this?”
“Okay.”
Then she play… operated the dungeon interface and gave it the command and coordinates to move the queen from the first floor to the newly constructed room on the second floor and in front of them, midst a shower of brilliant lights, she vanished.
“WAH, it’s so beautiful. No matter how many times I see it, it always remains so other worldly to look at. but doesn’t this mean we will be able to completely circle and trap all the invaders if we teleported our ants behind the them or something.”
It was a valid suggestion and a thoughtful idea, but it didn’t see the light of the day.
“No, though your idea is a mean and disturbing one, and also good, but we still can’t do that.”
“And why is that?”
Confusion got the best of Rock because according to rocky it should have been easy to do.
“Because we can only teleport, move or bring changes to our dungeon, if there are no intruders or enemies present inside the premises of our dungeon. Suppose the humans are present on the first floor then though we will be able to bring change to the second floor, but we won’t be able to change the setting of the first floor.”
A slight gloom took over him, when he heard that his perfectly perfect idea got trashed because it was simply going against the rules of the dungeon itself.
“But what if we are somehow able to teleport our monster where ever we want to? Wouldn’t that be a spectacle to see?”
“Hah, that will become hilarious. Imagine you are walking down the pitch dark tunnels of our dungeon, alone and shivering with cold and fear. You lift your torch to see the path ahead, but in turn get greeted by the black dirt road and nothing else. You sigh once and drop your torch down to move forward, but then you look ahead and your eyes meet with the visage of an ant standing right in front of you at some distance. You hurriedly lift your torch to shine light at the perceived monster, but when you do, you are once again hit by the black dirt road. You shake your head, and think “Oh it was just my imagination” but then you drop your torch and there you see the monster standing right in front of you. You try to move backwards and run towards the entrance, but before you could do anything it starts running towards you, screeching and screaming. Now wouldn’t that be a frightening experience.”
“SIGH… Now, that is something to look out for.”
“Yeah, it surely is.”
“Forget about that and tell me, what’s next?”
“What do you mean what’s next?” she said, “Obliviously you are going implement the illusions on the second floor and create some amazing traps or something. Squash your brain, juice out your brain fluids and make, the floor, impregnable~”
“Now, you are going too far.”
“Yes I am, but you know, so what? Chill out a little. Have fun, go out and meet some girls or something, enjoy your life, don’t just keep sitting on your hot seat the whole day.”
“I don’t know what you’re saying, but let’s start with the unlocked traps.”
“Yeah, let’s roll.”
‘Sigh… she and her mood swings.’
Moving on from their not so interesting daily life chattering, the option of buying illusion traps from the system got unlocked when planting a medium grade trap had led them to full fill the condition to complete a hidden quest and it rewarded them with the unlocking of illusion traps.
Rocky wasn’t in any kind of hurry to see what options it was going to bring to them because he hadn’t forgotten the shocks which the other such products had brought.
But the sighs which weren’t stopping again came and after sighing for the nth time in a single day he finally assembled the guts together to open it.
