One good thing about the technology these days is that one can use the smartphone. Though the bandwidth outside the base is not what it used to be, one can record a great amount of video inside their smartphones. Rowan has set up a camcorder which recorded three sixty degrees views, which when his smart phone is near, recorded video on his smartphone. He did this to study the slime's behavior in the natural environment, and spot any outliers as fast as possible. However, now, he has the one and only footage of the natural disaster. Rowan hoped it could at least sell for some and fill up his pocket. He is not quite sure the slimes are lost, so first, he will send out a call for them to come back. Even if they didn’t, he will get the oil slimes and could restart his dungeon, but it irked him that he has to suffer a loss.At this point, he got a system message.[ Congratulations !!! ] [ You fed all the cattle with in the designated time. ] [ Fed 1000 living organisms successfull
There was a bamboo thicket on the side, that is if he goes up the mountain for a kilometer. If it hadn’t been right after the volcano’s eruption, he wouldn't be travelling this leisurely in the forest. By now, many predators would have attacked him, some strong enough to even deform the truck. That’s the reason not many people go out of the base, and even when going out, they do not go far. Now that most animals have fled in the animal tide, the only ones remaining are the stupid and weak ones. He must grind them as much as possible for the spirit energy, and feed to his slimes. The bamboo thicket has many holes, indicating there are far too many bamboo rats here. He did not care about bamboo rats, but the horned rabbits needed feed. Bamboo shoots will do just as well for the feed. He summoned the rabbits, and with just a wave of his hands, they understood. In only two minutes, the horned rabbits picked a fight with the bamboo rats. Thankfully, Rowan carried his spear. Hor
Rowan ran towards the truck as fast as he could. The truck will flatten if the rat chief hits it. So, at the last minute, he changed direction, jumped up the tree, and started running on the branch towards his truck. All he needs is the bigger Lance size spear he stored in his truck. This spear is made of steel and tungsten, and a straight blade, so it could slash as well. It has both flexibility, and lethality. As expected, the rat chief hit the tree in full force. The tree trembled, almost making Rowan lose his balance. He jumped from the branch like a monkey, and ran to his truck full speed. The rat chief recovered faster than he expected it. By the time he retrieved his spear, the balled up rat was already heading straight towards himself and the truck. Rowan did not even have the time to swing the spear. He just braced the spear on the ground and held it towards the rat chief. Given the balled up rat hid both it’s eyes and ears, it could not even see the weapon. The
Rowan called the civil servant who was supposed to be in charge of the land leasing. “Master Rowan!” The man answered cheerfully. “Chief! It seems they made a mistake in the lease they sent me. It seems I am leasing a hundred acres, not ten.” Rowan complained. “Ah! Indeed. I talked to the base manager for you. How is it? Isn’t it great you are getting a hundred acres for almost nothing? “ The man said forcefully. “I am assuming I am responsible for cleaning up those hundred acres?” Rowan asked. “Ah! Master Rowan! You see, the base is busy cleaning up the aftermath of a beast tide. Where is your community spirit?” the man asked, trying to talk down Rowan. “Chief! If you want me to sign this lease and take responsibility for those hundred acres, it’s not impossible. Make the lease for a hundred years, at the same price, and tax holiday for those hundred years. Even then, It is that I will consider accepting. This, by itself, is impossible.” Rowan said. Chief officer was moved. Th
Edy leaned towards Rowan. “He was the guest after you at the radio show. Leigh Miller said she promised to wait for you when he proposed to her.” Edy explained. He thought Leigh was joking when she gave the answer she did. While most people don’t know about her pink mammoth pet beast, it’s not a secret to the public. Wasn’t she using him as a shield too lightly? Only, Rowan doesn’t even have her address. Soon, a bell rang, and a door opened, letting students out. Jeffery was still glaring at Rowan, while Edy turned to the entrance, still snickering. However, one of the first people to get out is Leigh Miller. Or perhaps when she gets out, the entire crowd focuses on her. She walked towards where they were. When she noticed Rowan, her steps stopped all of a sudden. She looked very surprised to see him. She walked straight to him, ignoring Jeffery altogether. “Are you here to pick me up? “ She asked Rowan, walking right up to him. Rowan was surprised. Where in the world do
David convened another meeting this week, to put band aid over the wildfire lit by Peter kootz. “ We will not cancel the subsidized prices given to the newcomers. Instead, we will stop servicing shopping points within the territory of voyage - 2238 denizens. “ David detailed his first step. His subordinates are looking at him blankly, yet, David could feel their disdain. To report and cut off prices at the Royal company level means they will be levied fees. At the same time, David’s mismanagement would be known to the world. What david is doing right now is no different from an incompetent boss failing to wipe his arse and then blaming it on intern. “Transferee 1011 will be left alone. However, we will issue a special quest line to him alone, to our Nightmare-grade leveling map. “ he continued. The disdain of the employees turned into pity. Yet, not so much that they wanted to lose their performance review points over it, by speaking up for the poor transferee. Infact, th
Neil and Adele returned to check on their shopping points. Sure, they have much in their inventories, and they most definitely would not starve to death, but some of the things could only ever be obtained through barrels. Especially goods like bandages, medicine, etc. all of which needed a certain amount of civilization and industry. Those who lived by the coast have all sorts of witchcraft solutions to jellyfish poison, stingray bites, however, they lack the basic antibiotics like penicillin. Neil and Adele’s first stop had been searching if their shopping points were working. As expected, the very first shopping point they built, which only bought items from Royal company, but never sold anything, is just fine. The second shopping point, which belonged to the wild seeds chamber of commerce which belonged to them, was working fine. The third shopping point which they built to buy items from drow nation, which has been changed to be able buy and sell items just a while ago, was
[ BestQuarterBack ] : Come now ! I promise not to come by to whack your mug. [ EvilWitchQueen ] : ChadWarden ! That's enough from you. [ EvilSwordKing ] : don’t be a chicken! Come by ! I promise not to break your ugly mug. Adele sighed from beside Neil. “ Oh! Can’t you stop being so childish “ she grumbled as she looked at Neil. “ He started it.” Neil answered out of reflex. It only struck him how childish that sounded afterwards. All the same, Chad Warden just rubbed him the wrong way. Moreover, Neil is not worried about sending coordinates of his boat. Let’s see who could come and catch him. [ EvilSwordKing ] : *my coordinates * [ EvilWitchQueen ] : we are traveling on channel 0, so come join us if you want to. We do have access to the shops from the wild seeds company, we also have extra shopping point blueprints for any who need it. Three direct messages came immediately. [ PriyaFromNowhere ] : I think I am nearby. [ NickBetterthanJonas ] : So am I. [ LittleRoyal ] :
While Adele and Neil were discussing these details, Orion and his subjects were busy as bees. The flame crystals brought back by Neil had been handed over to the Drow king. At the time, the most vibrant flame crystal was placed in a cradle, in the center of an altar. Five Drows surrounded the altar, looking at the circle pointedly. Orion stood in the head position, the five Drows started chanting. After a time, the Drows stopped chanting and looked at the center, where a flame crystal was placed. Their eyes are full of expectation. Nothing happened. The light of hope in their eyes dimmed at the result. Their gazes turned to Orion, as if asking if they should continue. “ Continue. “ Orion ordered. The king looked on emotionlessly, despite the turmoil going on inside his head. Orion’s newly acquired ‘King’ title is not steady yet. Most of the old leaders did not agree to support Neil, but Orion just pushed it through, by the virtue of providing food and a safe place for Drows.
Sasha woke up quite late. she was lying on the furs in front of fireplace, like a kitten. She hadn't slept this well for a long while. It’s almost like a dream. Perhaps it was, given Adele was standing in the corner, staring straight at Sasha. Sasha wondered why she was able to sleep this well in the middle of a battle field. The answer was surprisingly simple. Because she was surrounded by family, and friends. Valerie fought with her life on line to protect Sasha, despite being a Snorc. Dan … he smelt like home. There are no other words for it. He was her only family, until Rudy arrived here, and probably would be her only light, when the world becomes cold and dark. Dan and Valerie's predictions about Snorc peace treaty being a ruse came true. Even so, the Snorc attack came far too fast. So much so, the defense could not even gather compleetely. Dan’s arm is still holding hers as woke. He held her hand on one side, and the hilt of the sword on the other side. W
Neil’s heart filled with unspeakable dread when he looked at the invisible shield membrane slowly covering up the temple. Every cell of his body rejected that shield with all of its being. Neil acted involuntarily. “ Retreat ! “ he screamed at the top of his lungs. His desire to take every last one of the elves with him powered his next spell. ‘ Collect ‘ Neil commanded with all of his being. His magic exploded, pulling all the nearby flame crystals, every last one of the flames whooshed out, becoming a red crystal as they rushed towards Neil. Neil, with Merlin on his back, rushed as fast as he could towards the portal that’s becoming unclear by the second. The space has become destabilized, and the time space continuum broke as the shield continued to cover the flame temple. The black flame in front of the priest is still burning, the remaining four Tomoe of the flames are still alit, but all the other flames are gone. It’s only then Neil understood the scale of
Neil retrieved his spear, changed it into a chinese slaughterer broadsword, with about three foot pole and one and half foot blade. He twirled the blade slightly, the necks of three priests were cut off. [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] At the same time, Merlin was not silent. He stabbed a priest, then twirled and beheaded another. [ Experience + 10 ] The message popped up. Like that, Neil and Merlin danced in the courtyard. After their decimation of fifty priests, the priests ran away, and grouped together among them. They went for the necklaces of the fire priests, coalescing the necklaces with their own. “ Merlin ! Collect the red necklaces. “ Neil commanded. The next moment, the mana blade in Merlin’s hands vanished. He stuck to Neil’s back, while Neil cut off the head, Merlin collected the necklace. They worked tirelessly, decimating the priests. However, there was no end to them. “ Blluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooo
While setting up camp meat just retrieving their modular home for Neil and Adele, it meant something far more complex for Drows. All the space mancers came together with their latest catch of space crystals. Then, they set up a hexagonal space barrier around a gigantic field, isolating the space from the time worm. Cosmos gave an unnecessarily long explanation, which could be summarized into ‘ this way, we don’t get sucked into the time worm’s belly accidentally ‘. The memories are cut off when Caspian and Xena enter the temple - however, at this point, Neil has come to a conclusion about one thing. They never entered the time worm’s inside. They only fought in an ephemeral space that reflected the fire temple, they did not go inside the fire temple exactly. However, the things he had in his hands are real. In Particular, land tokens have come up with real land. That means only one thing. That the real land tokens are still out there for him to grab. On top of that, he has s
Xena did not explain her intention. Obviously Caspian spent the entirety of the next hour in confused anticipation, while everyone around him laughed at him knowingly. Xena finished her selection of fabrics. She ordered another set for Caspian himself, this time, in yellow and black, with a symbol of a bull. The next announcement came after an hour. All the participants of the spring fair contest are called to a venue. There are multitudes of fabrics, clay, metal pieces, even silver, gold and gems on various tables. On the other side, there are various tools, for making pottery, for making jewelry and various other items. “ Valkyrie had long been known as the city of the craftsmen. Our women have the best of clothes, best of jewelry and best of men when it comes to that. It is your job to prove that valkians have the most dedication when it comes to love as well. You are tasked to make a token of love for your beloved. Men and women both are free to choose what they want to m
“ Ladies and Gentlemen of Valkrie ! Welcome andddddddddd… .Welcome to the sixteenth sprint fair of lover’s paradise. As always, your response has been more than hot ! This time, for the first time in the history of lover’s paradise, we meet the numbers needed for the seven trials of the couples. Without further ado, let us start the treasure hunt of the lovers. The first challenge in the game is to know how much your lover knows you. On my right side, there are cabins. Our lovely ladies will stand in the pink chair, our handsome men will sit in the blue chairs. “ The host went on to explain they would be answering three questions. As long as answers sync, the couple passes. “ What’s your man’s name ? “ they asked. “ Caspian Hart “ Xena answered, so did Caspian. What’s your girl’s name ? “ was the next question. They obviously are doing this to filter off the random game breakers from entering the game. “ Xena winter child “ Both of them answered at the same time. “ Where did
“ Hey! Stop laughing at me, you moron. “ Xena ordered Caspian bossily. “ I am not laughing at you. I am just happy we both lived till today. “ Caspian said, chortling with laughter. The words brought a hard stop to the amusement of Nadia and Tara, while Xena shared his happiness. “ Indeed ! We still have today.” Xena said, sitting down at the edge of Caspian’s bed. To be truthful, it is quite amazing. They were thrown out of the capital city in a time of strife, walked through five battles, and countless skirmishes. They crossed the sea ! Then they went to institutions which require one to be beholden to them until death, yet, they both are sitting here, free!It is nothing short of a miracle. They have dodged death by a hair’s breadth a thousand times. They have overcome insurmountable odds. “ Oh ! Stop laughing, you idiot ! She's not joking. “ Xena said, referring to Nadia. “I am not sleeping with anyone save my wife. “ Caspian answered Nadia after he got control on his ow
“ Caspian Hart ! You moron ! You stupid imbecilic idiotic jarhead ! “ Xena exclaimed, as she threw her hands on his neck. “ Hey! What’s with the over reaction ! I did not die ! “ Caspian mumbled, a hand rubbing soothingly on Xena’s back. Xena stopped crying after some time. Caspian held her lightly, enjoying the rare instances where Xena actually shows some emotion. “ What day is it ? “ he asked, after Xena pulled back from him. “ You still have the gall to ask for the day ! It's the thirtieth day after the valhallan new year. “ Xena told him. “ it’s .. My god ! Was I asleep for ten days ? “ Caspian asked in shock. “ How many days did you think it was ? “ Xena asked him angrily. “ Just .. Right after the woman in red left. She was so scary. “ Caspian exclaimed. “ Woman in red ? Madea ? “ Xena asked, an ominous feeling rising in her heart. Caspian shook his head. “ The other one. The whining fire spirits wanted her to submit to them. She ate them all ! I hid because I was a
