Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 192: Raising Dungeon Levels
"After we arrived at Longquan Mountain, I felt that our adventure was too ordinary. In the past, we stayed in foreign places, in forests and abandoned buildings, we had to be careful. Now, just need to use the skeleton, and if adventuring, we can sleep at home walking."
"Especially because Population Increase Card is given by Ainsley, we become more relaxed. Even if we don't kill monsters, we still get 30% Exp. It sounds a little, but with an abundance of troops, we're getting better results."
"Don't it matter? After all we provide a training ground, the fighting experience does not diminish even though it rarely descends to the battlefield." Calista did not feel there was anything wrong with relaxing like this, because it was their initial purpose here to find a safe place that could be used to relax.
Olivia nodded in agreement, and added, "What Calista said is true. There is no need to be too hard on yourself and require killing monsters. If you want the fighting experience not to disappear, Natan can train with Auntie. Didn't Nathan never beat him?"
Natan was silent without revealing an expression. Although he never won a duel, but he was still upset when reminded.
Vely chuckled as he learned of Nathan's feelings. He stretched out his hand, then carried her into his arms. "Olivia, you're too rude." He rubbed Nathan's head.
Natan tightly hugged Vely's waist leaning her head against her chest as she stared at Olivia beside her. "I'm sleepy."
Vely patted his back and rubbed Natan's head. "Hugging you like this reminds me of my junior high school days."
"You ever hug Nathan?" Which Olivia knew, and this from Natan herself, had never embraced anyone other than a parent before World Destruction. Therefore, hearing Vely who was reminded of the past, this made him shocked.
Vely shook his head and croaked, "Not that, when I was his teacher first, I once rubbed his head and back when he was sad."
Nathan hugged even tighter. "I never thought, my teacher once, to be my wife."
Vely smiled sweetly. Nor did he expect this, Natan whom he regarded as his own sister, was now the person he loved most in the world.
"Tomorrow I will enter the Dungeon. Only there is a good place to hunt, and I just got a message from Mom that the Dungeon can be improved. But we have to pour 20 Billion Gold."
"Billion ..." Calista pondered on it, and felt the price was not too much. Especially in the Dungeon there was sunlight, and there was warmer. "That's a good idea, the monsters in the Dungeon are only Level 400 — 500. If it's raised, what level are the monsters there?"
Natan closed her eyes for a while, she enjoyed the warmth of Vely's embrace and the tenderness that hit her cheeks. "Level 600 — 700. Which was originally 25 floors, rising to 50."
"Level 700, we can level up there. No longer need to kill monsters from the outside, the monsters outside could be handed over to Harlod and the others." Vely continued to rub Natan's head and pat her on the back.
Olivia looked at Vely who had been hugging Natan. He snorted coldly a little annoyed. "I also want to hug Nathan."
Vely looked at Olivia for a while and looked down at Natan. He kissed her forehead gently, then handed Natan over to Olivia.
"Then it's my turn." Calista also wanted to hug Natan, but it was too late because Olivia asked him first.
...
Natan changed back in Calista's arms after half an hour. Now that he was completely sleepy and finally fell asleep, he felt very comfortable despite sleeping in a sitting position on the sofa.
Vely, Calista and Olivia no longer spoke, they chose silence so as not to wake the sleeping Natan.

—The Next Day—
Natan, Ayumi, Erina, Vely, Calista and Olivia came to the Dungeon Tower which was adjacent to the Material Dungeon.
Brianna and Ainsley were also there, they were here to raise the Dungeon Level. Although the one who can raise it is Ainsley, but Ainsley still needs Brianna's help.
"Darling!" Brianna opened both hands.
Natan rolled her eyes lazily, but she kept getting into Brianna's arms. "Mother, I already have a wife, when Mom always hugs me every morning?"
"No problem." Calista answered him before Brianna could speak. "Looking at Natan like this, we feel comfortable. We don't want to always see a serious Natan, like last night, you're so spoiled in the arms, it's so sweet."
"You hear that?" Brianna looked into Nathan's eyes. "They don't even mind, and didn't Mom say it? Natan is the reason why Mom struggles, so let Mom hug you every time."
"Anna! Hurry on!"
Brianna looked coldly at Ainsley, then smiled faintly as she rubbed Natan's head. "In a moment, I have to fill up every morning."
Ainsley clucked in annoyance and sat down beside Ayumi who was drinking strawberry-flavored box milk, and Erina drank chocolate. He felt thirsty when he saw the two. "Can you give me some milk?"
Ayumi was silent for a moment and hesitated, but since Ainsley was always kind to her and sometimes helped her practice, she finally nodded, giving her favorite strawberry flavored milk.
"Has Mom always been like this?" ask Ayumi.
Ainsley looked at Ayumi for a while before replying as she looked at Brianna who was hugging Natan. "Before she met Natan, she kept crying every day for wanting to meet, but she didn't qualify. Even though he had already come and stood beside Natan, he was still not allowed before all his duties were fulfilled ..."
"So after holding back for more than half a year, surely he couldn't hold himself back anymore, and whenever there was time, he would definitely want to hug her."
Ayumi nodded small and lowered her head. "Although Ayu felt pain from the abandonment of Father when he was two years old and Mother when he was thirteen years old, but they died normally. Ayu still gets affection, in contrast to Natan's little sister who is alone."
Erina lowered her head and looked sad because she could not escape the shadows of the past where her parents died.
Ainsley couldn't stand this. He did know that Ayumi and Erina were young and emotionally unstable, but for an easy sadness like this, he really wanted to hit them at least once.
"Anna, are you done?" Ainsley looked up at Brianna.
Brianna let go of his embrace, then gave a warm kiss on both cheeks of Natan.
Natan could not resist it and only accepted it airily as both of her cheeks were imprinted with lips stuck together. "Mom, your lips are fine, why wear lipstick."
"If you don't wear lipstick, you can't mark Natan."
Natan patted his forehead, and he saw his wives staring at Brianna with amazed eyes. She knew that her wives would wear lipstick from today so that her face would be full of lip marks.
Brianna and Ainsley were standing in front of the Dungeon Tower and had already asked everyone inside to get out of there, so that the people inside were not injured or encounter high-level monsters.
"Ainsley, I don't think you need to use Gold to upgrade. Dungeon, it was a place used to confine monsters that Monster Ancestors sent to Earth, but the Guard kept it from going straight down. I suspect, you can instantly change it for a high-level monster to appear here."
Ainsley rolled her eyes. "Yes, but I need Gold! Unlike you, we need Gold to increase our strength. We kill monsters don't get Exp, just get Gold, and that's very little. That's why, we trade in order to have Gold redeemable for Exp."
Natan did not expect any arrangement on that. He wondered if his mother was the same.
As per Natan's mind, Ainsley added, "Anna is not like that. Since he was born on Earth, he was like a Player in general, the Gold he possessed could not be exchanged."
Natan finally understood, then he sent out 50 Billion Gold. Even though it was more, but he didn't feel any pain. Think of it as gratitude for often providing information, and have been looking after his mother all this time.
"By the way, Armonia Guild could sell goods at +25%, and buy at -50% price%. Aren't you going to lose?" If Gold is valuable to Ainsley, there should be no buy and extra discounts when selling. But, Ainsley would buy it at a great price, and sell it at a cheap price.
Ainsley shrugged both of his shoulders. "It's the rule, we're just running orders.
Ainsley waved her hand as she looked at Natan who wanted to ask again. "Enough, finish this first, after that you can ask again. By the way, thanks for the pay."
Hearing that, Natan took a few steps back and let Brianna and Ainsley surround the Dungeon Tower to draw a magic circle.
