Chapter 41: A New Attempt
TL : Cnine
ED/PF :
Part 1
27th Day
As usual, I entered the dungeon in the morning and immediately began my work.
First, I copied the magic circles used for the Re-Summon Combo on the 6th floor into my notebook and placed the magic stones.
「No good eh.」
The magic circle I had painstakingly copied into my notebook refused to so much as twitch. Not a flicker. Not a hum.
Was it the quality of the paper? Or perhaps…
「Is it because it isn’t connected to the dungeon itself?」
This time, I placed the notebook on the ground and set a Magic Stone on top of the magic circle drawn inside it. But in the end, no monster was summoned from the circle.
If this was an issue of material quality or something like that, then I was completely stuck.
Reluctantly, I used the Pixla Saw 49 to cut out a section of the dungeon floor where the magic circle was drawn.
The 6th Floor was a grassland field, but only the part where the magic circle drawn was stone, which was why the Pixla Saw 49 comes in handy here.
「Nicely done.」
Before me stood a square stone block with the magic circle carved into it. I tilted it slightly so that the Magic Stone would not fall, and placed the Magic Stone on it.
Naturally, the backs of the pixies’ heads became bald again.
「Here it come!!!」
That light is the sign that a monster was about to be summoned!!
Now the preparations were complete.
All that remains was to avoid the area where the Magic Stone is placed, coat the magic circle with oil, attach the Pixla Saw 49 to the claw of the Skelittle Dragon, and position the Skelittle Dragon’s claw exactly where the summoned monster would slide down to…
「Hi-hii— bgyuruaah!!」
It worked!!
Because the square object was slightly tilted, the Magic Stone did not fall. However, the summoned monster, due to the fact that the position it stands in immediately after being summoned was tilted, loses its balance. Because of the oil, it couldn't regain its footing and has no choice but to slide down.
The monster that falls from the magic circle then makes contact with the Pixla Saw 49 connected to the claw of the Skelittle Dragon and was torn to shred.
This was the dream system: the fully automatic monster slaughter system prototype, “Ridiculously Easy and Amazing EXP Ariene.”
I named it so because it was unbelievably easy and amazing. There was no special meaning to the name.
「All that’s left is to set this stone block on both ends of the Pixla Saw 49…」
My dream expands.
The dream of creating my own monster slaughter factory here…
From now on, I simply need to think of a system where EXP comes in automatically while I watch the production line.
The 6th Floor was spacious. If I wanted to improve EXP efficiency, it would not be a problem even if the system becomes somewhat larger.
「No… It doesn’t even have to be the 6th Floor…」
I could simply cut out the remaining stones with magic circles drawn on them and transport them to another floor.
There was also floors with stone walls, so if I draw more magic circles there, it might even be possible to increase the efficiency of the Re-Summon Combo.
「I need more Pixla Saw 49.」
At present, I only hadone Pixla Saw 49. If I could prepare multiple Pixla Saw 49, efficiency would likely increase even further.
「Well then. Time to go catch some pixies and slimes. I’ll dump all my SP into the Monster Taming Skill…」
I also need to test whether drawing magic circles onto the dungeon’s stone walls would allow the Re-Summon Combo to function there as well.
This was turning into serious work.
◇◇◇
To begin with the result: carving magic circles into the stone walls of the boss room does indeed allow the Re-Summon Combo to function.
For the circle to activate, the stone must be dungeon-produced stone, and more specifically, stone taken from the boss room itself.
As a precaution, I relocated my monster slaughter factory to the 30th Floor. If someone were to witness such a system, they might attempt to replicate it.
※Author Note: They won't.
Having captured pixies and slimes for the Pixla Saw 49, I am now allowing the newly acquired pixies and slimes to accumulate EXP so they could operate effectively.
Though “accumulate EXP” may be generous phrasing. In reality, I am simply letting them observe as unicorns are continuously processed by the fully automatic monster slaughter system prototype revised version, “Ridiculously Easy and Amazing EXP Ariene.”
「“Even so, I’m glad an improvement idea came so quickly.」
Since Ridiculously Easy and Amazing EXP Ariene had room for improvement, I updated its official name from prototype to prototype revised version.
Instead of the inefficient method of tilting the stone object and waiting for monsters to slide down, this system had goblins diligently carry the unicorns summoned from additional magic circles and throw them one after another into the Pixla Saw 49 connected to the Skelittle Dragon.
The number of additional magic circles prepared is ten. Combined with the existing ones, that makes fifteen.
If the system continues operating without loss, it could slaughter thirty unicorns per minute.
The EXP from one unicorn was 7,980. By having goblins throw them into the combination of Skelittle Dragon and Pixla Saw 49, the EXP efficiency becomes 151 times.
The calculation becomes 30 × 7,980 × 151, resulting in approximately 36.150.000 EXP.
Frankly speaking, it was an astonishing number. Earning 36.15 million EXP in a single minute was thanks to Ridiculously Easy and Amazing EXP Ariene.
Despite only around ten minutes having passed since activating Ridiculously Easy and Amazing EXP Ariene, the newly tamedd pixies had already reached Level 241.
「Perhaps it is time to integrate the newcomers into the system...」
No. It would be better to raise their levels a little more first.
Unlike the existing pixies, these ones did not possess the Physical Resistance skill. They wear down at an overwhelmingly faster rate, and if they were turned into Pixla Saw 49 at their current level, efficiency would likely decrease instead.
The MP of Demon Lord-sama, who performs blade maintenance, is finite. If Demon Lord-sama’s maintenance work were to fall behind midway, efficiency would drop.
◇◇◇
After running Ridiculously Easy and Amazing EXP Ariene for about an hour, the newcomers had reached Level 321.
Humans are curious creatures. Sometimes, we find ourselves staring blankly at a fireplace, mesmerised by the flames.
Watching unicorns being slaughtered was not particularly entertaining, but observing Ridiculously Easy and Amazing EXP Ariene was similar to staring into a fireplace.
Alright. The time to integrate the rookies into the system had likely arrived.
「Okay, cease operation.」
At my order, Ridiculously Easy and Amazing EXP Ariene ceased operation.
The first task: assemble two full sets of Pixla Saw 49 using the newcomers.
During assembly, the pixies flinched every time I grabbed them, but when I tell them, “You are not going to become unicorns,” they visibly relaxed.
I attached the newly completed Pixla Saw 49 to the claws of the Skelittle Dragon at short intervals, creating a threefold Pixla Saw 49 configuration. [TN : Image ---> https://ko-fi.com/I3I4D8X3/posts]
I called this, the triple blade.
I am not sure if the terminology was correct.
「Start the operation again.」
In accordance with my command, the three Pixla Saw 49s, arranged in a row at short intervals, began to spin vigorously while spewing flames.
The roar of fire, Goooohhhhhh!!, mixed faintly with the sound of spinning, Hiiiiiinnnn!!, as the triple-bladed Pixla Saw 49 produced an eerie melody.
「Alright, goblins. Get back to work.」
The goblins moving quickly, grabbing the unicorn that emerged from the magic circle, and flinging them into the spinning triple blades. Limbs severed, bodies shredded, the machine’s rhythm precise and terrifying.
「Just as I expected.」
As I expected, turning it into a triple blade increased the EXP multiplier from 151× to 249×.
In other words, the calculation is now 30 × 7,980 × 249, and the EXP obtained per minute becomes approximately 59.610.000.
「This new Ridiculously Easy and Amazing EXP Ariene is truly incredible. It can even be upgraded to triple blade.」
I watched the unicorns, desperately shaking their heads and squawking in panic, getting picked off one by one by the Nightmare Goblins. I muttered to myself something that could have been straight out of a commercial while absent-mindedly nibbling on a rice ball.
