Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Pei…what is this horrendous mess?" Jin asked as he reached the location that had been pinged by her and the System. The moment he reached the derelict building's entrance, he found Pei sitting there in her fox form licking her bloodied fur. Yet that was not her blood that stained her fur and rather, it's from the Demon Rats with parts of their bodies had been scattered around the scene.

A massacre.

Pei was so bored that she even turned into her fox form which was supposed to restrict her powers significantly to kill the said Demon Rats. And those Demon Rats that were lying on the ground were identified by the System to be stronger than the usual ones.

Their power levels were comparable to Demon Rat Warriors that had been spawned from Cinderclaw's belly according to the System and they were taken down easily even with Pei in a restricted form.

But what Jin was surprised about was that the entire area aside from the entrance and possibly the interior of the building was still clean of Demon Rats. It was then he noticed a glimpse of the Dark Elves and realised that they were also at the scene protecting the derelict building's entrance and its perimeter, preventing other Demon Rats to reinforce the area.

So with the Dark Elves handling the guarding part, Jin followed Pei who continued in her fox form into the derelict building and subsequently its basement. More bodies appeared in Jin's view and for some reason, they appeared to be dead for a long time. He had never seen such a scene before since those Demon Rats were supposed to turn into resources when they died.

And here he had sighted a decomposed dead Demon Rat which Pei reinforced that it was already there when she walked in. Even the newly killed Demon Rats had their bodies intact and had shown the insects in the area their next nesting area.

"The stench is horrendous. Is that why you rather fight them right near the entrance?" Jin asked as he covered his nose and mouth with Maqi with Green Energy in hopes that it could filter the smell away.

"Yeah, I chose the fox form because I did not want to stumble and destroy any of these corpses unnecessarily," Pei said and Jin understood where she was coming from. She could have slashed everything away and created a path but she decided to preserve them so that people with relevant knowledge could investigate them.

Jin thanked Pei for her considerate behaviour and they eventually reached the third basement where the Lifestream Energy Bomb was lying dormant in the middle of the room with tubes connecting all over it. Consoles and huge computer like servers decorated the sides of the room's interior and they were still feeding lifestream energy into the bomb.

"Transquick," Jin called out through the System Channel and the Demon Rat's Head Scientist responded almost immediately to his new master. "I found the bomb and that's a heck lot of stuff here which we do not understand. Come now while I contact Ayse to take a look at it."

"You are asking everyone to come but not me?" Kraft suddenly spoke out from the shadowy depths of the room. "And shouldn't you ask me the director of these sciency rats first before making contact with them?"

"Nope, because I know that you would wish to play with this bomb and that's dangerous territory," Jin said as he knew that Kraft would be around since his Night Foxes were holding the fort around the derelict building. It was just a matter of when he would appear and from the look of the situation, Jin was more than relieved that he did not appear and steal the bomb away from him.

"Give me the bomb and nothing will happen to us," Kraft said with a grand smile on his face and if Pei had the chance to smear it, she would spit at it. However, right now she was more interested in Jin's reply and how he was going to solve this conundrum. Now that the Astral Cultivator knows the power limits of Kraft, Pei believed that Jin might even concede to Kraft's request although knowing their pride and egos, she guessed a fight would ensue since Jin knows how dangerous this could be in his hands.

"Sure. I will give it to you." Jin replied and that made Pei and Kraft dropped their jaws simultaneously.

"You mad?!" Pei exclaimed and Jin shook his head, stating once again that Kraft could keep it.

"However, I have one condition." Jin raised his finger up at Kraft and the Devil filled with curiosity asked what it was.

"Give me a time period of at least 6 months before I give it to you and I need Transquick and his gang's expertise." Jin requested and it caused Kraft to raise an eyebrow. "I promised I would not use it to explode stuff. I will give you that opportunity to do so."

"Then why do you want it?" Kraft questioned and Jin iterated his reason. To have a land capable of generating resources for himself.

"So, in order to do that, I need to return this lifestream energy to where it came from. That way, the lands will flourish once more and in that six months of our Earth Time, this would be a place where I can get what I want."

"We still have that Dungeon World's money tower that we can raid." Kraft implied using that lifestream energy bomb for that purpose.

"But consider this. If we can rebuild this land for ourselves, we not only allow the world tree spirit to regain her strength but also create more of these bombs. We just need to do it in a sustainable way." Jin replied but Kraft was already hooked on the word 'more'.

"Fine, fine. Let's do this your way. In any case, as long as I can obtain the lifestream energy bomb for myself, I would not mind." Kraft decided to compromise and Pei was impressed by Jin's 'business' talk for the first time.

"Well, what are you waiting for? TRANSQUICK, get your ass here right now." Kraft shouted through the System Channel, hoping to get this done as soon as possible so he could have his dearest nation level destruction on his fingertips.
