Dungeon of Niflheim

376 Chapter 376: Big purchases

Frost unable to ignore the children’s innocent expressions summoned his newly establish cold flames for them to feast on.

The process was quite intriguing, at the sight of the silver flames both Nanna and Loki’s eyes shone with azure light as did the feathers around their ears, a sign that their phoenix blood was reacting. Such a glow only added to their adorable appearances.

The two phoenix kin with their ancestral blood humming pursed their lips and breathed in the silver flames generated by their master. The flames wrapped around their tongues before slowly drifting down their throats and into their stomachs. Frost made sure to minimise the strength of the flames to a level that they could endure but....

“Owowowowowowwo!” Loki suddenly grabbed his head and stamped the ground with his feet as he endured an intense headache.

“Haaaaaa you never learn do you Loki.” Frost shook his head and snuffed out the flames, preventing the children from eating anymore.

“If you eat cold things too fast you’ll end up with brain freeze.” Frost rubbed Loki’s head as though trying to soothe the young boy, but he struggled to hold back his laughter as did Maya and his sister, making him blush.

After the brain freeze was dealt with Frost took a seat on the sofa and brought up the dungeon menu, ready to make some more purchases before the next wave arrives.

“150,000 a significant sum.” Frost cupped his chin in thought wondering what to buy first. At the moment he had five fully outfitted floors and had no need to expand quite yet. He had purchased another two spawners over the past several days, one that dolled out frost dwarves while the other created frost wolves.

Three mines, two iron and one 2 star ice all worked by frost dwarven smiths and spawner frost dwarves, slowly but surely increasing his stock of materials. Monster wise he was pretty set as well, there was still room in the dungeon for more, but his current count was north of 400, increasing everyday thanks to the spawners and the zero deaths suffered so far from the monster stampede.

.....

Nothing stood out as immediately needed so Frost initially planned to save his DP until such a time but after seeing the state of the dismantling corps he decided otherwise.

“Might as well buy these things now before there’s an issue, it’s not like I’m gaining interest from the DP just sitting there doing nothing.” Frost nodded his head, confident in making some large purchases.

With a flick of his hands he added a bucket load of weapons to the purchase cart. “30 steel carving knives for the dismemberment squads should work far better than their current iron equipment, allowing them to easily slice apart even D-rank corpses. 1000 steel headed arrows, 500 bolts for the ballistae and 50 low level mana potions for the runic mages and lesser yuki-onnas.” Frost added all these items in large quantities for around 18,000DP.

“Next let’s check out what I can do with these magical robes of mine.” Frost with a smile on his face manoeuvred through the dungeon menu, finding the area that allowed him to alter his robes.

“5000DP to make them equivalent to reinforced cloth, 10,000 to make equal to leather, 20,000 studded leather, 35,000 iron, 80,000 steel, 120,000 refined steel damn these prices are outrageous.” Frost visibly sweated when he saw the numbers, a set of steel armour would cost him around 1500DP plus yet just to change the properties of his robes to something equivalent cost 80,000, a massive difference.

“Well I guess given the regenerative qualities it makes sense.” Frost compared the purchase to buying spawners, after the 100th summon or the 100th regeneration of the robes it’d be practically free, making it worthwhile in the long run. He looked down at his robes and then towards his beautiful girlfriend as well as hard ass drill instructor. A 100 regenerations could happen in a single day if she was going all out.

Other than the inherent property change there was also enchantments available so as to improve magical resistance and or supply special effects. There was also a style change that cost a default 1000DP but would allow Frost and any one of his siblings to alter their robe’s colours and patterns, something that sparked a keen interest in Maya who wanted to dress him up in different colours and styles.

“I’ll just start with something basic, my chakra and purchased armour provides most of my defences anyway.” Frost didn’t see too much point in empowering his robes to devastating levels especially when his other girlfriend was such an accomplished smith. Her armour would suit him just fine.

Frost thus chose to make the soft cloth equivalent to leather apparel for 10,000DP.

“Alright that should take care of the now but what about the future?” There wasn’t much more that he could buy at the moment that would be used immediately but there was a lot of stuff he needed to purchase for the upcoming territory development.

“Monster meat and materials alone aren’t enough to sustain a well-functioning camp.” There was more than just one or two kinds of shops available, magic in particular was of high necessity as was medicine, alcohol and numerous others. Frost didn’t want to solely attract adventurers; civilians were high up on his list of targets given that they were far more numerous. Quantity when at a certain level far surpassed quality.

His goal was to become just like Furano and Kranor, ruling over tens of thousands of subjects, absorbing their DP every day even if they weren’t fighting or dying, a long term investment that would surely trump even the DP gained from this monster stampede.

At the moment and in the initial stages Frost would have to rely on the dungeon menu to provide all these necessities, buying some of them now when he had time to deal with such issues may prove beneficial.

Frost opened up the list of magic spells, focusing primarily on 1st and 2nd circle spells. He planned to purchase multiple tomes of such spells to put up for sale in the camp, thus attracting the magically inclined to visit and perhaps stay for the long term. He could even say that such high quality tomes could be found within the Dungeon, sparking their interest further.

Frost added a random mix of 1st and 2nd circle ice spells to the purchase cart as well as two 3rd circle spells, [summon ice golem] and [icy road] that would serve as some more significant draws given the rarity of 3rd circle and up spell books. The cost of which came to roughly 50,000DP, a very large expense but Frost thought nothing of it, already numb to such numbers.

He then went on to purchase potions of varying effects and qualities, casks of low grade beer and wine to be used both in the camp as well as rewards for his monsters whom many of which sported similar personalities as Maya. Frost also increased the production levels of all his mines as well as added a fourth which he created on the fifth floor as well as many more nick knacks that he thought would be useful for the camp before rounding up his grand total.

“123,540DP sssssss” Frost released a sharp hiss as he read out the large number, his eyes shaking slightly before refocusing. There was still a significant amount remaining, enough for him to create a six floor and perhaps even outfit a section or two.

“What do you think should I go all in?” Frost turned to his girlfriend and guardian Maya who was resting on his shoulders, watching him work with a proud smile on her face.

Her proud smile quickly shifted into a mischievous smirk before replying. “Might as well go all the way now you’re in so deep.” She batted her eyelashes, causing Frost to blush slightly as he understood the innuendo.

He smirked as well before his hand slithered down her back to squeeze her impressive butt.

“You really are a tease you know that.” He looked lovingly into her eyes before planting a kiss on her ruby red lips.

“But you’re also right, it’s just DP, I can easily regain more.” After pulling away from Maya’s lips Frost spoke with determination and added the addition of a sixth floor to the purchase cart, which now that they were passed the five mark was 15,000 instead of 10,000.

With Frost hitting the confirm icon vast swaths of divine energy flooded his body, sending waves of intense pleasure throughout his body before quickly vanishing, leaving Frost red faced and slightly panting, desperately wanting to feel such intense pleasure again.

The dungeon core in the private space hummed to life, giving off a bright glow as it spun around moulding the life energy or rather DP to create.

Outside the private space the dungeon shook as it normally did when Frost added sections or floors thus no one was surprised anymore, the tremors released were far less violent than the ones caused by the mana vein corruption.

“Master must have added a new floor, I wonder if surpassing five floors results in anything special.”
