Chapter 15 - A serious discussion

Day 16

Neo checked Mr Floppy's status information. When he looked at the rabbits information something wasn't adding up.

Mr Floppy

Created from a normal grey rabbit, this version is larger and more powerful and less stupid. Later mutated while being exposed to a very high mana concentration. Later he became the trusted mount of the dungeon fairy Luna. She taught him how to improve himself and so he learnt how to fly and to breath fire.

Rank: F5

Traits: prolific breeder (rank 1); curious (rank 2); mana altered (rank 1); mana mutated (rank 1); flying rabbit (rank 3); fire breath (rank 1); intelligence (rank 2)

Costs: 600 mana ; 2.5kg animal material

He tried to create another Mr Floppy, but it was not working.

"Luna we have to talk about something!"

"Talk? Why talk, we should celebrate Luna and Mr Floppy the great warriors!"

"That's exactly what I' d like to talk about. I've been to a lot of dungeons, but I never saw something like a freaking rabbit that could fly and spit fire and why can't I create another Mr Floppy."

"Oh, ah, uhmmn, maybe because Mr Floppy is special? We have no time for this, I need to look after the wounds of our other great hero Mike!"

When Neo saw the fairy quickly flying away, he was one hundred percent sure that Luna was withholding some important information from him. Before Mike had just been the stupid human for her and now he became a great hero. He decided that the issue could wait until they cared for Mike's wound. He cleaned up the blood in the room and absorbed the carcasses of the wolves and the bear. The he repopulated the second floor and reset the big bad wolf on the first floor. After this was finished he looked after Luna and Mike.

"So can you help him? Do you even know healing magic?"

"Of course I do. Luna is a great dungeon fairy, she can heal anything in the dungeon!"

"Good to know."

He then watched the little fairy using her sword to cut out the arrow. After that she just put her hand on the wound and pumped some mana into it. The wound healed at rapid pace, but the boy didn't wake up. He was probably too exhausted.

"So Luna, his wounds are cared for. Do you have to tell me anything? Maybe you forgot to give me some information before?"

"It might be possible that Mr Floppy is a special dungeon monster."

"Why should he be special, I created him like all the other creatures."

"There could be the potentiality that his status is connected to the fact that he has a name."

"Wait what? You mean if I give a dungeon creature a real name it becomes special? But then why don't we give every creature in the dungeon a name?"

"Yes, but you can only have a limited quantity of named creatures in your dungeon."

"How many?"

"One for each level of the core. For every five levels you can create a real boss monster."

"So you tricked me when you asked me if he had a name!"

The little fairy started crying.

*Sob* "Luna is so sorry! Luna was angry about how you treated all the rabbits and Luna wanted to have a special rabbit. Luna loves rabbits."

*Sight*"It's ok, I'm not mad. You could've just asked me, I would've been proud to make him special for you."

"Really? You're the best!"

Neo checked Mr Floppy's status again and saw a change.

Mr Floppy

Type: Named dungeon monster

So his pop ups were only showing information to him, when he knew the concept of it. He asked himself what else was hidden from him right now.

"Ok Luna, let's change the topic. You know that I promised Neo something special if he could bring me a goblin. I plan to keep my word. When I was in other dungeons there were sometimes skill books between the drops from enemies. I looked into them, but it seemed like nobody except a dungeon is able to create one. Do you know how to create a skill book?"

"Of course Luna knows. Luna is an awesome dungeon fairy. The problem with skill books is that the dungeon has to have a detailed knowledge about the topic, technique or spell he wants to put in the book. It's very hard for a dungeon to get this knowledge just by watching adventurers using these skills."

"Did you forget that I was an arch mage before? I know uncounted skills and spells. So how do I create a skill book? Can I put more than one skill in one book?"

"Yes you can. If you have the knowledge it's pretty easy. You just have to visualize yourself putting the information in the book with your telepathic mind to mind language."

"Would that not just be the same as to write it down?"

"No no, a dungeons telepathic abilities are unique. You probably didn't notice, but it takes no time for you to speak. You could explain the contents of a whole library to somebody in an instance."

He really didn't notice that fact before. He created a small fire and watched the flame to keep track of the time. At the same time he randomly transmitted the numbers from one to one thousand to Luna.

"Which number was missing?"

"576!"

He was stunned. This was a legendary ability. While he transmitted the numbers the flame did not move, in addition normally nobody could remember which number was missing if you give him 999 in a random order. He immediately wanted to test it. He created a book from some plant material, then he visualized a C- rank mana cultivation technique together with some basic spells for mages and mana techniques for fighters. To complete the book he put in some guidelines for cultivating and how to prevent creating pitfalls for one's later progress. When he was finished, the book felt exactly like he remembered the skill books he found felt. He decided to let Mike test it immediately after he awakes.

"Ok nice! I will have a look at the blueprints I got from the goblins. It's awesome what you have done with Mr Floppy, are you able to train other monsters too?"

"Yes, but a dungeon fairy only has a bonus when she trains special monsters. The main task for a fairy in a grown up dungeon is to improve the special monsters."

"Good to know, so you have some fun playing ... ah I mean training Mr Floppy now. I will take care of the expansion."

After the conversation he checked the blueprints. He got one for each dead foe, but he reduced the identical ones he came up with six that showed any real difference.

The new blueprints where awesome. He decided he would create a goblin raid team later after he expanded his mana capacity. At the moment the most scarce resources were plant and animal material, even after he got some from the goblins. The goblins were of a high rank compared to their weight and it would be a lot more cost efficiently than to recreate all the additional wolves and bears he uses to raise his life energy creation. If he created ten black goblins with good steel gear led by a shaman, who he would equip with the arm protector device, they could bring him some good creatures. With that said, it was time to for another round of expansion!
