Number One Dungeon Supplier

"Urgh Ms Milk. Do you really have to bandage my hand until like this?" Rong asked as he woke up in the private medical room of the Dark Days Dungeon Subway Station.

"You are so injured from it, so maybe I can ---ahhhhhhhhhhHHH!"

"Don't mind her, Mr Rong. Did you have fun?" Peppers asked as she pulled Milk away from trying to flirt with almost every man she saw. (She complained and said that she was not flirting at all but Peppers never believed it.)

"It's amazing but Ms Peppers. I doubt you can go in there. You are magic based and they would allow you to bring one Level 1 Spell into the dungeon." Rong said and Peppers laughed.

"My Level 1 Spell? I think that's enough to decimate the entire village. The Hellknight Goblin will not hold a candle against me!" Peppers said and Milk knocked her head.

"Do not listen to this fool. Sometimes, her head is over the moon." Milk remarked and the two of them quarrel again.

"It is tough being them. Always fighting. I wonder if they ever get tired of it." The sounds of armoured footsteps came in and Rong saw the real 'copy' of the Hellknight Goblin.

"Dread Reaver Slash. It is an honour to see you in person." Rong said as he tried to get out of bed but Slash denied him that opportunity.

"Please, just rest. There is no need to be so polite when we are all now employees of Master Jin." Slash said as he calmed Rong down and took a seat beside him while the two Bellators had done their 'job' and returned to what they had been assigned to do.

"That fight was insane. It's too bad I can only enjoy the 'first to finish Dark Days Dungeon' in secret." Rong smiled as he slowly unwrapped the bandage on his hand. It was already healed by Milk's magic but there was a little bit of phantom throbbing.

"Hahaha. That's true since if we employees were to take it, the cultivators would cry foul play. In fact, because of what you did, there were a few other monster employees who had decided to try the Dark Days Dungeon instance themselves too."

"Have you attempted it yourself as well?" Rong asked and Slash shook his head.

"Imagine being beaten by an NPC with specific attack patterns that were modelled from yourself. You will feel inferior." Dread Reaver remarked and Rong laughed.

"That is true, but if Boss Jin ever made a version of me. I would like to see what I can do exactly. But hey not to worry, that Hellknight Goblin is not dead since he went into the lake. The NPC can take revenge in round two." Rong commented.

"Hahaha, definitely not so soon. I am betting Master Jin would create the second one, it would be either the Orcs or Mistress Ke Mi's companions."

"I never fought with Mistress Ke Mi before, is she powerful? I heard she can use music or sound to destroy someone. There were rumours that a deaf person could hear her music and if it is with killer intent, the deaf can even die from it."

"Hahaha, don't listen to those rumours but I have to say take a pinch of salt with such gossip." Dread Reaver Slash replied.

"By the way, did you see Lian anywhere? If I am out and close to the time limit, she should be done too." Rong said and he heard someone grumbling.

"Stupid Ox. Can you not keep it down?"

"Lian! You okay? Managed to pass it?" Rong came down from his bed only to feel his legs were a little numb with pins and needles. It was only with some chi he managed to stabilise it and move towards the opposite side of the private medical room.

"Duh, of course. Too bad for me I finished with just one second remaining." Lian pouted as she could not believe she would lose to Rong.

"What? Is it so bad to lose to me?" Rong felt a little disappointed.

"No. That means you are my goal for this Dark Days Dungeon. I will have to beat this dungeon earlier than you to be satisfied." Lian folded her arms and turned her head away from Rong. She hoped that this small rivalry against him would allow him to be more encouraged.

But she had forgotten how simple minded he could be.

"If that's the case, then I have to strive for the fastest run ever to finish this!" Rong said with a delightful grin on his face.

"Sigh, looks like he regained his vitality." Lian smiled as she asked him to move away. "I want to sleep a bit; it has been a tiring week for me." Rong eventually talked to Dread Reaver Slash and asked a few questions before he left the medical room while Lian decided to sleep there for the night and requested the System to put up some privacy barriers for her. The System queried why she was not willing to return to her room when all it took was just a portal.

"Sigh, and see the two pouty faces? No thanks." Lian insisted and she turned off the lights for her bed and slept there for the rest of the night.

"How did the two Demon Exorcists do it?" Jin asked as the System reported that they completed it in one try. "Lian was more consistent as she systematically defeated the goblin minions and even searched the houses. The System believed her sensor skill which she lowered the grade and effectiveness just to use it for this instance was the right choice."

"She managed to find all the six inscription charms while Rong only found three. Regardless, this dungeon instance had pushed their limits and it seems there was some foundational reinforcement to their overall well being."

"In short, I should do more of this dungeon?" Jin asked with a grin and the System acknowledged.

"It might be terrible for all the cultivators but soon once they start seeing the effects of the core foundation, they should prove to be cultivators than they once used to be. Just be sure to add in a few 'light hearted' dungeons for the casual cultivators. Please do not neglect them." The System reported and Jin nodded his head.
