The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

After listening to her proposal, Lilith saw Moses get busy. Actually, Lilith didn't pay much attention at first.

However, Moses and the watermelon knife, who were busy at the same time, started chatting casually.

This immediately put Lilith on her guard.

"So why did you decide to build this so-called safe house?"

As he operated the device, Moses was somewhat puzzled.

"And you need to add so many runes. Don't you know that even if I wanted to condense runes, it would take some time?"

"Lord Moses, you are so powerful, how could a mere rune be difficult for you? The reason I want to build this safe house is because I saw a profitable business opportunity."

"A profitable business?" Moses asked, somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing the word "make money," Lilith, who was standing nearby, also perked up her ears.

"Lord Moses, think about it. This safe house is essentially providing a layer of protection for our lives, and there will definitely be many people willing to spend money for this protection."

Hearing what the watermelon knife above his head said, Moses seemed to be deep in thought.

Just then, the sound of a watermelon knife hitting someone's head came again.

"During this time, you saw the other war weapons manufactured by Pata, right?"

Moses nodded in agreement.

"Let me tell you, they sell those things for a really high price. They've made a lot of gold coins off those items."

"And Lord Moses, although you now possess a great deal of gold coins, don't you still need money to buy food or services?"

"If you don't know how to make money and only think about how to spend it, no matter how much money you have, it won't be enough for you."

"So you need to find a way to make money steadily in the long term, and that way is this safe house."

"Let me tell you, the market for safe houses is huge."

Hearing this, Moses became slightly interested.

Tell me more.

"For example, aren't we going to challenge the guardian of this floor later? When we fight him, won't we be attacked by his wide-range attacks?"

"With a safe house, we can easily avoid danger."

"This indirectly reduces our battle losses, so naturally many of our comrades will be willing to spend this money."

"And it's not just usable when challenging the Guardians, it's also usable when we go to other levels."

Although you can be resurrected after death, resurrection costs gold coins, that's the first point.

The second point is that if you rush from the respawn point, no matter how fast you are, you will still miss the opportunity to fight.

The further away from the respawn point, the more time is wasted.

But with this, things are different. It can withstand fatal damage, providing a safety net for oneself and reducing battle casualties.

This can have a tremendous effect in combat.

"What you said makes a good point."

"And only I can make this safe house as effective as possible."

"You have no way of creating either high-level magic circles or runes."

Moses pondered for a moment, then said, "This is what you often call... that thing called... something like 'severance'..."

"Monopoly!" came the appropriate addition, a watermelon knife hovering above his head.

"That's right! It's a monopoly!"

"So, Lord Moses, think about it. Only you can do this business; no one else can. So, if anyone wants to buy this, they can only come to you."

"So how much should this thing cost?" Moses asked.

Upon hearing this, he pondered with the watermelon knife above his head.

"It definitely can't be too expensive, because the more expensive it is, the higher the requirements other Pata will have for it."

"For example, if you sell it at a high price and it becomes unusable after only a few uses, then no one will continue to buy it because it is too impractical and has a low cost-performance ratio."

"So it's best to keep the price around 20 gold coins, then many people will still be willing to pay."

As he spoke, the watermelon knife pondered for a while.

"However, since this price is relatively cheap, we need to consider another issue: the production quantity."

"First, we need to optimize the combination of magic circles and runes in the safe house as much as possible, so that this thing can achieve the greatest effect with the fewest runes and magic circles."

"This way we can improve our production efficiency."

Hearing the analysis from the man with the watermelon knife on his head, Moses nodded thoughtfully.

"You're right, and the blueprints for this safe house you gave me, the magic circles and runes inside are indeed terrible."

"I've never seen such a terrible combination of magic circles and runes."

"But you guys are Pata after all, so it's pretty good that you were able to do that."

Upon hearing Moses's evaluation of her safe house design, Lilith immediately flew into a rage.

"What do you mean by garbage!"

"How did my perfect combination become garbage in your eyes!"

Upon hearing what Lilith said, Moses immediately understood.

"So it was you, you stupid succubus, who designed this. No wonder."

"What do you mean by a stupid succubus? Do you even know anything about magic circle combinations?"

"Hahaha!" Moses exclaimed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Are you saying that I, the great Moses, don't know magic?"

"You know absolutely nothing! How many magic books have you read? How many magic combinations do you know? Yet you dare to say my magic combinations are wrong? I think you're just pretending to know what you don't!"

"Also, the safe house was my idea, and you two just stole my work right in front of me."

Upon hearing what Lilith said, the man with the watermelon knife on his head immediately became displeased.

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that?"

"What do you mean by stealing your work? Do you even have any results? You haven't produced anything, yet you keep talking about results."

"Besides, how can we scholars call this stealing? We call it learning from others."

Upon hearing this, Lilith's face flushed red with anger.

"Shameless thud!"

"And you shameless, stupid dragon!"

However, Lilith realized something was wrong as soon as she finished speaking.

Before she could react, Moses lifted her up.

"Why waste words on this stupid succubus?"

"Get out of here!"

Moses then threw Lilith out of the territory once again.

So, outside Moses' territory, Lilith glared angrily at the direction from which she had been thrown.

"Damn it! Absolutely awful!"

"No wonder that wretched Pata was so kind to help me earlier."

"They didn't even ask for payment; instead, they asked all sorts of questions, making me feel like they wanted to help me out."

"So this is where you were waiting for me!"

Lilith was so angry that her liver ached.

"Damn it! I'll never trust those awful Pata again!"

"No! I can't go on like this!"

"It's utterly unacceptable that I, a dignified succubus, was toyed with by a bunch of sluts!"

So Lilith made a decision.

She's going to become evil!

We need to make these Pata understand what a real demon is!
