Chapter 1315: Chapter 1315 – Apartment Building
Just as Thor’s eyes were filled with ferocity and the atmosphere in the taxi was getting more and more tense.
A trembling voice came from the front row. “Friends, you’ve reached your destination.”
When Thor heard this, he shifted his gaze outside the window and saw that the taxi was parked at the side of a somewhat desolate-looking street. On both sides of the street were various small storefronts. There was a pancake shop called Deer Horn Lane, there were dollar stores, women’s clothing stores, sand county snacks, small clinics, and even a new burence shoe store.
Behind these small stores was a row of old tube-shaped buildings. The clothes and bedding that were hung in the corridor, as well as the flowers and plants, finally injected some life into this old place.
Thor threw a hundred yuan note to the driver and dragged Seth out of the car under the driver’s surprised gaze.
He grabbed Seth’s neck and directly lifted him up from the ground, “I’m not here to accompany you to discuss the economic revitalization of small cities. Where is my wife? You’d better tell me quickly! Don’t keep me in suspense and play tricks anymore.”
Seth’s face was full of helplessness. He coughed and tried to squeeze out a sentence from his throat, “Didn’t anyone… tell you before… When you want someone to answer your questions… don’t always strangle that person’s neck?”
Thor snorted and finally let go.
Seth returned to the ground, rubbed his neck, and sighed. “Soon, we’ve arrived at the destination of this trip. We’ll see the real person soon.”
Thor’s anger lessened slightly when he heard Seth’s words, but a hint of wariness flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and was about to summon his precious hammer over.
But in the next moment, Seth held his hand down, “No, no, no. Don’t always think about using violence to solve problems. Compared to your strength, there’s no danger here. Let’s talk first. It’s not too late to attack if we can’t reach an agreement. After all, Sif is still in his hands.”

Thor saw Seth pounce on him to stop him from summoning the hammer and almost blew up the latter’s head. However, when he heard Sif’s name, he forcefully stopped his fist.
“That’s right. Don’t you want peace? Let’s start from here.”
“Peace is Bullsh * T. When I find Sif, I’ll kill all the people who kidnapped her.”Thor gritted his teeth and enunciated each word.
“I understand why everyone said that you have a bad temper. Compared to you, I’m as gentle as a sentimental jerk.”Seth tidied up his clothes, “Forget it. You can do whatever you want in the future. But before that, you must suppress your anger.”
“I’m not one of those new gods who are not even 100 or 200 years old. I know what to do when,”Thor said in a muffled voice.
“Is this… Today’s cold joke? If it is, I’ll try my best to cooperate with you and laugh a few times.”
As the two talked, they walked toward a tube-shaped building. When they passed by the pancake stall called Deer Horn Alley, Seth suddenly stopped. “I’m hungry. Buy a few pancake mats.”
“I told you not to play any more tricks,”Thor warned.
“I’m not playing any tricks. Please, ever since I was kidnapped by you, I haven’t eaten a single bite of rice on the way here. It’s rare that I pass by a pancake stall, so buying a few pancakes won’t waste your time. If you’re really worried that there’s poison in these pancakes, just watch me eat them,”Seth said.
Hearing this, Thor didn’t stop him in the end. He said to the boss of the pancake stall, “Take four pancakes.”
The boss didn’t say anything. He pointed at the price list on the wall behind him and the QR code on the table. Then he stood up, picked up a plastic bag and put it on his hand. He grabbed four pancakes and handed them to Thor.

Thor stuffed the pancakes into Seth’s arms. Then he opened his wallet and took out a ten-dollar bill. After hesitating for a while, he took out another ten-dollar bill and slammed it on the table. “Give me six more!”
The boss reached out his hand and silently put away the twenty-yuan note on the table. Then, without saying a word, he picked up another plastic bag. However, Thor felt that his actions were too slow, so he directly grabbed six pancakes, he devoured them in a hurry, while Seth also ate three pancakes on the other side.
However, when he ate the fourth one, it was obvious that his swallowing became a little difficult. Since he had already done this, Thor simply bought two bottles of mineral water from the grocery store and gave one to Seth, he finished the other bottle.
Then, the two of them finally followed an old woman who came back from selling vegetables into the apartment building. The building was five stories tall and there was no elevator in it. However, this height was nothing to Thor and Seth, the two of them quickly climbed to the top floor and passed through a corridor filled with clothes and bed sheets. They arrived at the end of the room.
Seth reached out and knocked on the old-fashioned anti-theft door in front of him. However, there was no response from inside. Seeing that Thor was about to call his hammer again, Seth quickly increased the strength of his knocking.
This time, the people inside finally reacted. However, half a minute later, a crack was opened on the door.
A pair of small eyes with a malicious glint behind the door first looked at Thor. They frowned and then looked at Seth. However, they appeared to be a little lost. It was not until Seth untied the thing wrapped around his face that the wolf’s head was revealed, finally, he spoke in an unpleasant voice that sounded like chalk scratching the blackboard, “It’s you. What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to visit my old friends.”
“There’s no one here who is your friend,”the person behind the door said while spitting at Seth’s feet.
Seth smiled and did not argue with the other party. He only said, “I know what you have done. Before it’s too late, I hope you can rein in your horses.”
The person behind the door sneered, “Since you have rejected our invitation, what does what we do have to do with you?”
“I just can’t bear to see you play with fire,”Seth said slowly.
The person behind the door seemed to have thought of something, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. Especially when he looked at Thor on the other side, the surprise on his face could not help but become stronger, “Seth, I remember that you were caught by the organizing committee, Right?”
“To be more precise, it was my conscience that made me turn myself in,”Seth said.
“As far as I know, you don’t have a conscience,”the person behind the door said. And when he finished speaking, Thor, who was beside him, could no longer hold it in, “Why aren’t you opening the door? Can’t you go in first and talk about it later?”
And the magic is that the people inside after hearing this sentence, actually so obediently opened the door.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
