You promised to wreak havoc on the dungeon, but instead you've got Dragon Slime!

A fire elemental panel appears:

【Name: Fire Element】

[Race: Elemental Creature]

[Level: LV1]

[Experience: 0/20]

Racial Trait: Immunity to Fire Magic

Skill Slot 1: Burn, Skill Slot 2: Empty

"Fire elements are also equipped with 'silent ambush'... turning them into silent self-destructing fireballs!"

Once the operation was complete, all thirty goblins had been reduced to primitive infantry without any skills.

For "troublemakers," having skills or not makes little difference; Ron never expected them to cause much real damage anyway.

After placing all the monsters in various parts of the dungeon according to his "whimsical ideas," Ron's consciousness carefully surveyed the entire layout of the Black Language Cavern.

Make sure every "surprise" is perfectly placed and every "combination" is seamless.

"You're done."

He murmured with satisfaction.

……

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Duke's castle.

Inside a luxurious study with a dome carved from a single piece of lava crystal and walls inlaid with hellfire diamonds.

The flickering candlelight shone through the huge crystal chandelier, casting flowing golden-red spots of light on the carpet covered with the hide of an abyssal dragon.

Alyssa stood respectfully before the enormous obsidian desk, reporting on everything she had witnessed.

Behind the desk sat a burly, imposing middle-aged man.

He also had long, curly, crimson hair like burning lava, and a majestic face; he was none other than Cedric Kevin, the Duke of Flame.

At this moment, after listening to Alyssa's worried complaint, his resolute face was filled with helplessness:

"Alyssa, if you can't persuade Lilith, do you think she'll listen to me if I say something?"

The Duke's voice was deep, carrying a hint of weariness and indulgence.

As the most powerful overlord in the underworld, Cedric's word was law, and no one dared to go against his will.

However, he always ended up being the one who suffered the most when facing Lilith, his only beloved daughter.

Lilith lost her mother at a young age, and Cedric poured all his longing and guilt for his deceased wife into his daughter, spoiling her to the point of almost doting.

This has shaped Lilith's independent, rebellious, and even somewhat unruly personality.

Now that his daughter is an adult, his voice as a father has diminished considerably.

"never mind."

Cedric waved his hand, a few tiny sparks flying from his fingertips, his tone indulgent:

"Let her do whatever she wants. So what if her business fails? With me as her father, do you think I'd let her go hungry or cold? Her happiness... is more important than anything else."

"Your Majesty the Duke!"

Alyssa interrupted urgently, her voice rising slightly with anxiety:

"You didn't understand what I meant—what if... what if Miss really falls for that vampire boy?"

This statement was like a spark falling into a brazier full of gunpowder!

"boom!"

An invisible wave of scorching heat suddenly rose around Duke Cedric.

His fist, enveloped in molten lava-like flames, slammed heavily onto the obsidian desk with devastating force, producing a dull, thunderous roar!

"Absolutely not!"

The Duke's roar was like a volcanic eruption, his ruby ​​eyes burning with an undeniable rage:

"The bloodline of the Kevin family! My daughter, Cedric Kevin's daughter! How could she marry a penniless, unknown, and destitute vampire boy!"

In this matter, he displayed absolute authority and stubbornness as a duke and father:

"Alyssa! You keep a close eye on Lilith and that kid! If you spot anything... anything that goes beyond an employment relationship, report to me immediately!"

……

"You said he hired 100 level 1 monsters, but didn't take a single high-level one?"

After Lilith learns from Alyssa about the vampire boy's "feat" at the recruitment market.

Her long, lava-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and a genuine look of surprise flashed across her ruby-like eyes.

Although this kid is a complete novice...

Even the most clueless newbie should understand that those LV1 gadgets are nothing more than punching bags for experienced adventurers to stretch their muscles!

What truly makes adventurers sweat, bleed, and even pay the price of resurrection are always those elites or bosses who occupy key nodes and are of a higher level!

This is an ironclad rule that even the worst apprentice knows!

Catching the genuine astonishment on Miss Lilith's face, the embers of hope that had been extinguished in Alyssa's heart were rekindled!

There is a play!

Despite her previous unsuccessful attempt to report to the Duke, Elisa had not completely given up hope.

She came specifically to "report" her observations on the market to the young lady, hoping to gauge her opinion and see if she could turn the tide.

Judging from this reaction, the young lady is still rational!

Chapter 6 Unlocking the Dungeon

Alyssa immediately seized the opportunity, adding fuel to the fire, to portray Ron's "stubbornness" as even more incomprehensible:

“It’s absolutely true, Miss! I kindly reminded him, but he completely ignored me. His self-righteous attitude was simply…”

However, Elisa could never have imagined that the duke's only daughter, who looked surprised, was currently experiencing a molten, ecstatic joy!

Haha! That's awesome!

In this way, even a novice who has just learned to wield a sword can easily conquer this so-called "dungeon"!

Clearance rate? 90%? No, it might even reach 95%!

She put a green ring in the dungeon completion chest; it wasn't very valuable, worth about 10 gold coins.

But the dungeon was just too terrible!

Once the first adventurer to venture out reveals the secrets of the Black Whisper Caves, adventurers eager to challenge the dungeon will surely flock to it.

Who would complain about earning an extra 10 gold coins?

With a large number of challengers and such a high success rate, even an E-level dungeon could bring her endless losses.

Lilith calculated it using the average of E-rank dungeons.

Given the value of equipment for an E-rank adventurer team, it's roughly equivalent to a piece of green equipment.

If she completes 1,000 challenges and achieves a 95% success rate, she will lose 900 challenges, which is a loss of 9000 gold coins.

Adding the initial cost of 5000 gold coins, that's 14000!

On top of that amount, add a tenfold rebate—

Lilith couldn't help but smile brightly.

Hiring this kid was the wisest decision I, Lilith Kevin, have ever made in my life!

She could almost see groups of smiling adventurers easily clearing the level, with the system panel displaying a crazy tenfold return!

"Boom boom boom——"

A steady knock on the door interrupted Alyssa's accusations and Lilith's reverie.

Lilith gestured to Alyssa to open the door.

The door opened, and Ron's pale, handsome figure appeared in the doorway, carrying a hint of relief after completing his mission.

"Miss Lilith, the dungeon is now complete."

He walked into the office and got straight to the point.

Is that all?

That's ridiculously fast!

Lilith was taken aback.

Even if she lacked practical experience, she knew that building an underground city was no child's play—

Release monsters, reshape the terrain using the Lord's Ring, set up ambush points, plan monster positioning...

Each task is meticulous and time-consuming.

For the average designer, it takes anywhere from three to five days to more than a week!

This kid actually only took less than a day?

How utterly rotten must it be?

She calmly took out the lord's ring.

The fingertip gently taps the smooth surface of the ring three times, producing a crisp sound.

hum-

A three-dimensional projection, woven from lava-colored light and dark shadows, instantly unfolded in the void of the office, as if tearing open a window to peer into the abyss.

The scene of the Black Language Cave is clearly presented:

The short and weak LV1 monsters were like scattered chess pieces, randomly placed throughout the rugged cave, their positions completely haphazard, lacking any tactical depth or coordination whatsoever.

rotten!
