Chapter 7

[Ability unlocked, Classes/Jobs. Summons must have a class/job to function. Classes/Jobs will give the summons skills and knowledge according to the given class/job.]

[Minimum sentience has been achieved, summons now could perform the task and interact with each other to cooperate and perform tasks given efficiently. The probability of failure increases as the sentience increases but the amount of output that could be made will also increase tremendously.]

[Summons now have the minimum sentience, sentience will now increase over time.]

"Oh shit! That's amazing, now I could create a society and also community. But most importantly I have now someone to talk to, but minimum sentience? What's that?"

[Player thought detected. Minimum sentience is similar to a human baby, as it grows its sentience increases.]

"Ah, I see. But classes ah, do I need to give my summons classes or jobs? What classes or jobs I could give?"

[Player thought detected. It is required to give your summons a class/job for them to function. The following classes that you have unlocked are Soldiers, hunters, miners. farmers, craftsmen, messengers, and workers. Once a class/job has been given, it will be no longer be changed.

Soldiers: Secures the domain and fight enemy units.

Hunters: Hunts down monsters and beasts to be absorbed for mana or food.

Miners: Gathers ores and minerals located in and near the domain(dungeon).

Farmers: Grows and gathers food for the domain.

Craftsman: Create tools or equipment for the domain.

Messengers: Delivers messages to any entities who possess sentience including fellow summons.

Workers: An all-around summon who could do hard labor and more. ]

"Wow, this changes everything so far! My life will become easier, I thought I will have to teach or order them specifically forever. Now, I don't have to, whew. But now I have to micro-manage do I?"

As Lucas thoughts of the possibilities of what he could do with the sudden changes, he somehow forgot his current situation.

"Wait, I have to go back to the dungeon and give everyone classes. Wait, what class/job should I give this one before I'll order it to go back to the dungeon?"

After several minutes of thinking, Lucas decided to give the automaton a class of hunter for a reason of experimentation and this automaton was the one he used to kill the ogre in the first place. "It would be nice to give this one the class/job of a hunter."

After giving it a class/job he cease to control its body and ordered it to return to the dungeon. And then Lucas returns to the scenery of the chamber room of its dungeon. Do the automatons seem to stop their training before the update?

But now Lucas is pondering on what classes to give his automatons. He could try to give one of each class/job to experiment but it seems like a waste of automatons if some of the classes could not be used at the moment. In the end, Lucas decided to do it anyway.

Before that, Lucas spawned another batch of automatons.

[Summoning 1 soldier, 1 miner, 1 farmer, 1 craftsman, 1 messenger, and 1 worker automatons.]

Lucas did not summon another hunter for he had already assigned one earlier. There were now new 6 automatons in front of him. It was still the same automaton as the rest and it's hard to differentiate which one is which.

Then he started to check the status of each automaton.

Soldier class automaton

Skills: Basic sword skill, Basic spear skill, Basic bow skill, Basic Shield skill.

Ability: To form formations and perform basic maneuver tactics with another Soldier class automaton.

Miner class automaton

Skills: Basic mining skills, Basic ore detection skills, Basic mineral detection skills.

Ability: To find ores and minerals deposits and create mining shafts to perform mining operations

Farmer class automaton

Skills: Basic farming skills, Basic herb detection skills, Basic plant detection skills, Basic harvesting skills.

Ability: To create farms and to gather food and herbs.

Craftsman class automaton

Skills: Basic blacksmithing skill, Basic carpentry skill, Basic building skill, Basic craftsmanship skill.

Ability: To be able to create tools, equipment, ornaments, and buildings.

Messenger class automaton

Skills: Basic diplomacy skill, Common tongue, Basic riding skill.

Ability: To converse with different entities.

Worker class automaton

Skills: Multitask, Link.

Ability: To do anything that requires hard labor and be able to share information and cooperate with other worker class automaton.

Lucas was shocked to see their skills and abilities, but what intrigued Lucas the most was the worker class. It was a normal automaton but being able to connect with others is kind of overpowered. It is like ants with radios in their heads. But thinking about it, maybe not.

Ants were different from the automatons in terms of numbers, ants have thousand while automatons were just three-digit max. Lucas observes that for every level you just have to multiply it to 100 and that will be the only required experience points to level up. And just times your level into two then add 10 then will be the number of automatons he could summon.

Following this logic, when he reaches level 100 he could summon 210 automatons. Yes, it is many but not as much as the average population of a town but twice as much as a village. Thinking about it, the lack of manpower will probably make Lucas stuck at his dungeon forever.

His plan on returning home or even his dreams of world domination will be crushed. Lucas was now in a deep state of thinking, changing, or making new plans for his life.

'Going home will be impossible then if we could not find answers if I couldn't expand outwards. Wait, I don't have to expand if that is the case but I could still explore using a single automaton. But it will take a lot of time to investigate, research, or find the way home.'

"But first of all, do I want to go home? Earth is nice, yes I have to agree about that. But it will be only nice if you have any money anyway and earning money has been very hard. Due to the massive population and the intense competition towards each other, it is hard to become rich, especially when giant cooperation doesn't want you to get rich."

"Here, I am not sure. All I have seen so far were giant beasts and monsters out of ordinary. If my intuition is right, the level of civilization here must be at a level of a medieval period on earth. Or maybe not, there may be magic here."

Lucas wasn't able t decide that day.
