The Returnees

Opening the treasure chest, Li Hao noticed on his hand, he was holding onto an old book. Excitement was clearly seen in Li Hao’s black pupil which is an obvious trait of the Chinese race.

As he owns the system, he possesses the ability to inspect items or monsters that are around his Lvl or below unless it’s a special monster.

Inspect!!! Li Hao shouted out loudly as he had already cleared all the goblins so he felt it was fine to shout.

Unique Skill book: Elemental Magic

Usage: Open the book and user will learn Elemental Magic. ** Unique skills only require user to use to Lvl up the skill Lvl.

Wow!!! Damn is my hand that lucky? First a godly skill in that random box and now a unique skill? Although unique skills is not as rare as godly skill but it can still be sold for a hefty sum of gold since its standard is right below godly skill. What’s the best part of unique skill is that I would never need to go hunt monsters for the upgraded versions of the skills as it can evolve itself through lvling up. If I am not wrong....Lvl 5 unique skill will evolve once and at Lvl 9 it evolves once more and at Lvl 10, the skill will mutate to fit the user....that’s where the skill gets deadly.

In fights it’s always better to have more trump cards. Mutated skill is one that helps the user yet it can’t be found on books that depicts the usage of the skill normally yet mutated ones are the kings of skill. I should check on the skill now to know if it is of actual use as I rarely heard news of unique class skill on planet Jaive and also check on my current status.

Name: Li Hao

Title: First Returnee(*luck+5)

Dungeon Lord (*immune to fear, skill: Home)

*Titles effects can be stacked.

Health: 50/50 Mana: 28/28

Strength: 10 Stamina: 10 Agility: 9 Intelligence: 14

Wisdom:15 Charisma:3 Luck: 7

Stat Points: 20

Skill: Status, Summon, Elemental magic (lvl0), Home

Oh it seems like I have new skill and I even gained 2 titles.....titles are so rare and hard to gain one but I have 2. Gosh I even unlocked Luck stat by having that title!!! As for my stats....they increased only 4 each which indicates 1 lvl, 1 stat in all except for Charisma and Luck which increases 1 for every 2 lvls.

I think I should put points into intelligence and wisdom that helps to manage my mana and the regeneration speed of my mana mainly while I should improve my agility to avoid being attacked by others. However, as I currently do not have a wand or staff, I think I will develop my stats towards a fighter as I currently only have a dagger to use. How I wish I can add points to my luck stat but sadly it cannot be increased intentionally. Okay I have decided.

Okay, now that my survivability has increased, I feel it will be easier to escape situations that I will face. Right what is this skill Home?

Skill: Home

Usage: Teleports user back to dungeon and allows user and subordinates to be sent to a location set by user by opening a portal after chanting for a minute.

OH MY GOD!!! ISN’T THIS THE LEGENDARY BACKDOOR SKILL???

HAHAHA I WILL DEFINITELY SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD!!!

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

It seems like dungeon owners will gain such a good ability which really emphasise that we can escape if trapped or if we can last a minute during in a losing fight, we can really survive. Now that I have nothing to do after getting myself two subordinates, I think I will just return back to see if I can spawn more wolfs or goblins to help expand my combat force.

I will just find a location to set first so that in case I stayed too long in the dungeon, I can still get out without exposing my dungeon to others. Finished setting his marker in a hollowed trunk, Li Hao teleported back.

Back at his dungeon, he noticed that he was sent back to the lowest floor of his dungeon. In front of him, stood a box that seemed to be related to the dungeon. Touching the box, he realised that this is like the core of the dungeon which helps him achieve things in the dungeon.

Using it, it consists of 4 managements as of now. They are

Floor management: Setting of monsters on different floors.

Monster Management: Spawning of monsters / mutants, breeding of monsters / mutants, training of monsters / mutants.

Shop management: Building of shops to allow transactions between system and customers.

Research management: Improve standard of monsters / mutants, shops lvl , production of weapons and armours.

Wow so it means I can actually breed monsters to gain more monsters and it seems to be the best way to grow my force. I think I should check out that spawning first since I can’t make a goblin and wolf mate together right? Maybe? Nope...it’s not possible however it opened my mind that I might be able to breed out a hybrid race by intermixing monsters or mutants of same race yet different species.

Monster Management: Spawning Monster points:36

Spawn Mutant wolf: require 10 points.

Spawn Basic Goblin: require 10 points.

I guess I will be spawning 1 more goblin and 2 wolfs? I will bring one wolf around while I let the others breed as the combat power of a goblin is not as high as a wolf. I will probably do it this way then.

[1 Basic Goblin, 2 Mutant wolf has been spawned. -30 points from monster points]

Now, for the breeding part. I will definitely keep my first buddy as its lvl is the highest among my subordinates so if I want to bring one along, I definitely have to bring the best to increase my efficiency while maximizing my safety.

Monster Management: Breeding

Breeding of Basic Goblins: 2 Basic Goblins required. (5 days needed. 1-2 Goblin) * it is possible to breed out goblins of different species. Goblin kid requires 2 days to grow to maturity.

Breeding of Mutant Wolf: 2 Mutant Wolf required. (10 days needed. 4-6 pups) * it is possible to breed out wolfs of different species. Goblin kid requires 2 days to grow to maturity.

[2 Basic Goblins and 2 Mutant Wolfs has started to mate. Female goblin and wolf will be unable to move for the breeding period. The males can still be moved.]

Wow it was unexpected that I can move the male goblin and male wolf. Guess more the better. I think it would be more efficient explore the forest to find new species as killing 5 would grant me 1 for free instead of having the need to expend points to spawn them.

“System. Does my subordinates require food or anything? Also, the time required for breeding is too long is there a way to shorten it?”

[Yes, the subordinates require food which could be acquired by letting them hunt outside or to provide food for them in dungeon by transporting food into the dungeon. The time in dungeon is 2x the speed of actual time thus, it is already much faster but you can speed up the process by using monster points too or getting items that supports the speed of birth of certain race.]

Satisfied with the answer, Li Hao brought the 2 male wolfs and the only goblin out to hunt for new monsters. Walking in the forest for a few hours, Li Hao and his subordinates killed multiple groups of wolfs and goblins yet they were unable to find new species. Realizing that due to the low mana in the area, the monsters and mutant species has only just started to spawn on Earth, Li Hao had no way to find new species thus focused on training his mini troop by killing wolves.

After all his subordinates passed Lvl 3, Li Hao finally decided to see if the goblin could guide the wolfs to fight and it seems he was right. In fact, the result was astonishing as Goblins feared death and thus, they are very sneaky and tricky if not for being baited out by his wolf, Li Hao would have suffered a bit due to the goblins. Therefore, the goblin had many tricks used to trick the wolves such as setting traps beforehand. After wiping out a portion of wolves in the forest, suddenly, tremors could be felt as Li Hao searched for the direction of the tremors.

At last, when he saw 3 dungeons with a cave (lvl 0) spawned one after another, he realised a day has passed with him not even sleeping a wink. It was also understandable as Li Hao was trained over a year in which there are times when he did not sleep for days and with such an advantage of being ahead of others a day, who in the right mind would slack?

Quickly and quietly, Li Hao rounded up the dead corpses that was killed by him and his subordinates and went back with his subordinates along with the food acquired by tossing it through the portal after using his Home skill.

Returning back to his dungeon, he let out a sigh as he knew that even though it might turn out to be nothing, he feared that others would kill him or harm him simply because he came back first.

Li Hao preferred to keep a low profile to avoid him becoming the target of the public. He could not possibly face all of them as he is alone. Even with his subordinates, he could at most handle 6 people and if he were to face the whole population of Earth? He would simply be drowned to death even if everyone spits at him once. Not to mention a fight. It won’t be a fight. It would simply be a tragedy that cannot be reversed.

Hence, Li Hao dared not to appear in the real world as the 3 whom returned at the same time probably met with one another and is trying to figure out who was the first. If he appeared, it was literally telling the 3 that he came back to his city before them. Since they returned today, they are the only ones that returned back to Earth with the Mid lvl difficulty and they would not be willing to waste their precious 1 day staring at one another hence, if they were to split up, their chances of spotting him would be higher as the forest is very obvious that monsters hid in it.

Li Hao was actually scared when he realised that in the whole wide world, there are actually 4 people that is in the first 10 alone in his city. He felt that his city is not as simple as he thought it was.

Quietly spending his day sleeping in his dungeon to allow time to pass 2x the pace, Li Hao spent his time talking to his system to brush up on his knowledge of his dungeon and sleeping. Precisely 30 minutes after the new day starts, he woke up and prepared to enter the forest again in hope of finding new species or goblin villages.
