Chapter 05: Common Brown Worker Ant Dungeon Monster

oOo

'Well, damn. To think that it steadily took that long just to create a small measly Low Grade Mana Crystal that is smaller than the width of my two fingers.' I thought so towards myself, whilst, at the sametime, holding the 1.5 cm Low Grade Mana Crystal in between my own fingers.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】then immediately responded backwards towards my own comment.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: Well, things are not always meant to be easy within the long run, as there should at least be some sort of learning curve so that you may be able to learn to improvised and steadily improved yourself. Instead of always just getting the immediate result or outcome, without much work.

'Well, you're not wrong there. Lime!' I thought so towards myself.

I then immediately asked Lime, my【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】a question. "So which Dungeon Creature or Monster should I then steadily feed this Low Grade Mana Crystal, that I've produced, to?"

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: Well, you should instead learn how to diversified your own Dungeon's Bio-Ecosystem, instead of focusing all of your own culminating resources into cultivating a single Dungeon Boss.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】:So what if {Alphonse} Rock Armoured Common Brown Ant {Warrior Type} ~ (Grade 2) The Dungeon Boss Monster were to actually be defeated within battle, then your own Dungeon itself will then be immediately left defenseless to outside intruders/invaders, as all of your main strength and army power are heavily focused upon single unit, which is the Dungeon Boss. So instead diversify your own selection of Dungeon Creatures/Monsters withinside your own Dungeon, and then steadily build up a wide array of powerful Dungeon Monster or Dungeon Beasts to then deter Raiders/Adventurers from entering the Dungeon or a sort of invasion from other hostile Dungeon Masters within the area or vicinity, etc.

'I see.' I thought so towards myself, whilst, at the sametime, calling out {Unnamed} Common Brown Ant ~ (Base) Dungeon Creature No.1 & No.2 out from the group of summoned Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creatures.

I then steadily pointed towards {Unnamed} Common Brown Ant ~ (Base) Dungeon Creature No.1, and then said this to it. "Your name shall be Batholomew, and here take this Low Grade Mana Crystal and steadily grow your own strength and magical power. You will definitely be in charge of four other Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creature to then begin the expansion project of expanding this Dungeon Core Room."

Immediately afterwards, I then immediately tossed the small 1.5 cm Low Grade Mana Crystal, that I created, towards the newly named {Bartholomew} Common Brown Ant ~ (Base) Dungeon Creature, which it happily ate.

Dungeon System Notification You have successfully named the {Unnamed} Common Brown Ant ~ (Base) Dungeon Creature No.1: {Bartholomew}!

{Bartholomew} Common Brown Ant ~ (Base) Dungeon Creature has instead consumed the Low Grade Mana Crystal. It has thereby reached enough Magical Energy Points in order to create a 1★ (White Rank) Dungeon Monster Core for itself!

As a result of having successfully condensed a 1★ (White Rank) Dungeon Monster Core, the individual {Bartholomew} Common Brown Ant ~ (Base) Dungeon Creature has steadily learned the beginner magic related skill {Basic Mana Manipulation Lv.1}{Basic Mana Absorption Lv.1}{Basic Mana Body Strengthening Lv.1}!

{Bartholomew} Common Brown Ant ~ (Base) Dungeon Creature has thereby fulfilled the necessary requirements in order to steadily evolved into a Grade 1 Dungeon Monster. The individual {Bartholomew} Common Brown Ant ~ (Base) Dungeon Creature has thereby evolved into {Bartholomew} Common Brown Worker Ant ~ (Grade 1) Dungeon Monster!

As a result of {Bartholomew} Common Brown Ant ~ (Base) Dungeon Creature having evolved into {Bartholomew} Common Brown Worker Ant ~ (Grade 1) Dungeon Monster. It has then steadily learned the basic necessary working class skill {Basic Digging Lv.1}{Basic Gathering Lv.1}!

The body of {Bartholomew} Common Brown Worker Ant ~ (Grade 1) Dungeon Monster did not really change that much, aside from just having suddenly grown a slightly big taller. And aside from that, {Bartholomew} Common Brown Worker Ant ~ (Grade 1) Dungeon Monster steadily looks like a normal everyday Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creature.

"Like I said before, you will be in charge of directly commanding four other Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creatures to actually begin immediately expanding this Dungeon Core." I said so, whilst issuing commands to {Bartholomew} and the other four Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creatures to then begin digging in order to expand the current Dungeon Core Room.

Kukui! Kukui!

{Bartholomew} Common Brown Worker Ant ~ (Grade 1) Dungeon Monster then made some slight wierd sounds and noises with its own insect Worker Ant mandibles, before its little own pair of Worker Ant antennas then began to twitch, move, and shake vibrantly. Almost like it is sending some sort of telepathic communication signal towards the other Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creatures, via its own Ant antenna.

And under the assumed leadership of {Bartholomew} Common Brown Worker Ant ~ (Grade 1) Dungeon Monster, the four other {Unnamed} Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creatures then began to follow his own orders. As they all then began to crawl towards one side of the Dungeon Core Room, and then start digging into the cave walls; the dirt, soil, and earth ground with their own Ant mandibles and pair of Claws.

Whilst, {Bartholomew} The (Grade 1) Common Brown Worker Ant Dungeon Monster being the most largest dungeon born creature, out of the group. He is the one that is mainly in charge of digging, whilst being on the barefront of the excavation, with two other Common Brown Ant helpers to steadily assist with the digging.

Meanwhile, the other two Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creatures of the group will then be in charge of transporting the excavated rubble from {Bartholomew} The (Grade 1) Common Brown Worker Ant Dungeon Monster's group, towards the tunnel entrance that they are currently digging.

Dungeon Tutorial Quest Reward: 1 Mana Recovery Potion + 1 Low Grade Mana Crystal + Dungeon Tutorial Quest advancement

'Interesting!' I thought so towards myself, as I then immediately opened up the Dungeon Master's Inventory Space Panel and then outright took out a single bottle or vial of Mana Recovery Potion from the second inventory slot.

I then immediately take the wooden cork off of the glass vial and then straight up drank all of the contents of the glass vial of Mana Recovery Potion.

Dungeon System Notification You have consumed a Mana Recovery Potion. 100 MP has been automatically recovered!

'Ugh-the vial of Mana Recovery Potion actually tastes. Well, so bland.' I thought so towards myself, as the mana lethargic feeling of tiredness and extreme mental fatigue that is steadily brought about from using up too much mana then gradually begun to dissipates, and my own Dungeon Lord's body then immediately returns back to normal.

Way before I actually almost used up all of my entire reserve of magical energy in order to steadily create one small 1.5 cm Low Grade Mana Crystal.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: Well, so what would you literally expect, since Mana Recovery Potions are just basically liquefied mana in a semi-liquid state. Though some formula of Mana Recovery Potions steadily uses other some of magical herbs and organic medicinal materials, so the aftertaste of the Mana Recovery Potion may differ slightly, but since this is wholly generated by the Dungeon System. It steadily tasted completely bland...

I then steadily chosed to ignored Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】's quick lecture and then instinctively activated the Dungeon Master Related Skill [Dungeon Walk], without much further thoughts.

"Dungeon Walk!" I then simply recited the name of the Dungeon Master Related skill outloud.

A warmth blue-light then immediately began to wrap around my whole entire body, as it is like the scene straight out of a sci-fi movie in which a spaceship or a futuristic motor vehicle steadily achieved warp speed. As the colours withinside my peripheral field of vision then began to fade, immediately turning black with white outlines, and particles white-light then immediately began to passed me one after another.

And my own Dungeon Lord body was then immediately transported towards another location withinside my peripheral field of vision that I've selected. It would seem that the pinpointed location is actually the focal point of where my line of sight meets.

Dungeon System Notification 2 Magical Energy Point has thereby been consumed in order to steadily activate the Dungeon Master Related Skill [Dungeon Walk]!

A second later, my Dungeon Lord body then magically appears at another location, a couple of meters away, from my originally location. And I steadily appeared floating a couple of inches above the ground, before the laws of gravity then immediately hits me and I was then immediately pulled to the ground, as I then landed upon my two own feet.

'Well, isn't this just basically another copy of Bleach's iconic Flash Step technique. Though according to my knowledge, the Bleach's universe Shinigami Flash Step is just basically a body movement technique that basically allows the user to move from point A to point B at extremely fast speeds. Whilst, the Dungeon Master Related Skill [Dungeon Walk] steadily allows the user to teleport anywhere withinside the user's line of sight, and is very limited to only the confined space of my Dungeon area.' I thought so towards myself, as I then automatically turned my body around to looked at Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】and the others.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】then immediately flew towards me, with her tiny lime-green coloured silk moth body. As she then immediately says something towards me.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: So what exactly do you want me to do with {Alphonse} The Rock Armoured Common Brown Ant {Warrior Type} ~ (Grade 2) Dungeon Boss Monster, the {Unnamed} Blood Mosquito, and the other Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creatures, DM? Well, they have all been staring at you aimlessly for who knows how long, whilst you were busy making the single Low Grade Mana Crystal and up till now. Expectingly, expecting for you to steadily give them orders like you did for {Bartholomew} The (Grade 1) Common Brown Worker Ant Dungeon Monster and his group.

'Oh, I almost completely forgotten about them, but what exactly should I instead do with them to be exact.' I thought so towards myself.

It was then that I suddenly remembered something, 'Well, doesn't {Alphonse} The (Grade 2) Rock Armoured Common Brown Ant {Warrior Type} ~ 1st Floor Dungeon Boss Monster actually have innate racial skill [Rock Eater] withinside his own possession thar steadily allows for him to eat Rocks or other more earthy materials.' I thought.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】then immediately responded backwards towards my own statement.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: Oh, it would seem that you are completely right, and {Alphonse} The (Grade 2) Rock Armoured Common Brown Ant {Warrior Type} ~ 1st Floor Dungeon Boss Monster really does possess the capability to eat rock and earthy materials.

'If I recalled, only the Grade 1 Rock Armoured Common Brown Ant Dungeon Monster actually possesses the innate racial skill to devour rocks and earthy minerals, but not the Grade 1 Dirt Armoured Common Brown Ant Dungeon Monster.' I thought.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: Well, you are definitely right about the matter of fact that the fully evolved Grade 1 Rock Armoured Common Brown Ant Dungeon Monster actually possesses the innate [Rock Eating] skill, and the Grade 1 Dirt Armoured Common Brown Ant Dungeon Monster does not. It's probably due to the diet of plainly eating rock minerals and earth that the Grade 1 Dirt Armoured Common Brown Ant Dungeon Monster is able to somewhat developed an hard rock exterior exoskeleton that is as hard as a hard, instead of a simple layer of dirt armour.

'I see.' I thought so towards myself, until an interesting thought then suddenly comes to mind. 'So is it possible for me to directly evolved my Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creatures into Grade 1 Dirt Armoured Common Brown Ant Dungeon Monster or Rock Armoured Common Brown Ant Dungeon Monsters, or entirely summoned new fully evolved Grade 1 Rock Armoured Common Brown Ant Dungeon Monsters from the Dungeon Monster Summoning Panel, Lime.'

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: Well, it is simply far more cheaper for you to just simply summoned more Grade 1 Rock Armoured Common Brown Ant Dungeon Monsters from the Dungeon Monster Summoning Panel, but it is still quite expensive though, as a fully evolved Grade 1 Dungeon Monster is usually ten to twenty times the actual cost of its own base form.

'I see.' I thought so towards myself, as Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】then readily continues upon with her own sort of explanation.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: Alternatively, you can simply modified the Dungeon Creature or Dungeon Monster with the newly unlocked Dungeon Modification System, but that steadily requires for the Dungeon Monster or Creature to have a fully developed 1★ (White Rank) Dungeon Monster Core to be used as a catalyst for possible Dungeon Modifications. And in order for a Dungeon Creature to directly ascend to become a Grade 1 Dungeon Monster, they must at least developed a 1★ (White Rank) Dungeon Monster Core.

'I see.' I thought so towards myself, until an interesting idea then immediately pops up withinside my own. 'So the only way for my Common Brown Ant Dungeon Creatures to actually evolved into Grade 1 Dungeon Monsters is to simply feed it Low Grade Mana Crystals or can I just simply give it some of own mana to gradually teach it about how to learn how to gradually absorbed Mana naturally by itself. Eventually, it would then learned how to a form a 1★ (White Rank) Dungeon Monster Core by itself."

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: Theoretically, the idea of teaching Dungeon Creatures of how to absorb magical energy from the atmosphere and then naturally forming their own Dungeon Monster Core is entirely possible, but it would be quite a long and endearing process. As the intelligence of these so-called ordinary Dungeon Creatures are not that high. So it won't take no longer than a mere couple of hours to teach them how to gradually absorbed Mana energy from the atmosphere.

'A mere couple of hours at all, does really not seem that bad. By you saying that it is a long and enduring process, I thought that it may literally take days, weeks, or even months for them to learn how to absorb magical energy by themselves.' I thought.

As there seems to be some of misconceptions upon one end, Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】then chose to speak up to thereby correct my own statement herself.

Lime, the【Malachite-Silk-Moth ~ Dungeon Fairy】: What I meant by a long and tedious process is how long it actually takes for an ordinary Dungeon Creature to naturally acclimatised enough Magical Energy for them to instead form a single 1★ (White Rank) Dungeon Monster Core. As most ordinary Dungeon Creatures tend to die much earlier on due to natural causes like a shorter lifespan or steadily being eaten by a much more powerful Dungeon Monster way before they are able to form their own Dungeon Monster Core and steadily ascend to become a Grade 1 Dungeon Monster.

'I see...' I thought so towards myself, as I then immediately recited the keyword outloud "Create 1★ (White Rank) Dungeon Monster Core!"

It was then that I suddenly felt a large portion of Dungeon Points then steadily leaved my own Dungeon Core Crystal, as it then physically manifested right in front of me, and then condenses into a small white marble sized 1★ (White Rank) Dungeon Monster Core right in front of me.

Dungeon System Notification 100 DP has thereby been consumed in order to artificially create a 1★ Dungeon Monster Core. Please to choose amongst the following list of Dungeon Creature or Dungeon Monster to artificially implant the 1★ Dungeon Monster Core in:
