The next two days, as Hilda keeps fighting everyone again due to apparently gaining an extra 1000 for every win on top of just half their points so everybody just surrenders when she initiates a fight, except for blue who cusses at her then loses in a second due to Hilda''s sword qi.
As Hilda keeps accumulating points, she repairs sufficient houses to accumulate up to 100 people despite only having 60 and buys another 20 people adding up to 80.
She also bought some gold mines, which she also learns that they refill themselves at the end of the month and can be upgraded by merging mines together, but doesn''t do so since the mine is big enough. With the gold being able to be sold back to the system through Shila which can be converted into territorial or shop points.
A couple weeks later.
Hey Shila, how''s the village coming along?
It''s decent, but you''re sure you want me to focus completely on earning points instead of increased stats?
Yea, and if not for the guide who made it so I can only initiate a fight in the territory 10 times a month, I would have so many more points right now…
It''s still 10,000 territorial points per month.
Yea, I guess so, but it''s still a shame.
Indeed, this is so boring at the village, but luckily I don''t have to join you in hunting.
Shila looks over at Jamine who looks sleep deprived from the constant hunting despite being able to perfectly control her appearance.
Jamine, I warned you already, your mother is a cruel woman. Shila reminds as Jamine nods her head.
Hey Jamine, come on, I was able to finally reach level 70 due to targeting the stronger monsters and you even got your passive skill right? Which lets you expand yourself however much you like and it makes you acidic so you can just cover them in… well, you and dissolve them.
Anyways, come here Hilda.
Why?
I don''t like standing up while talking.
Sure then.
As the three of them sit down, with Jamine sitting down in the middle of the two, not wanting to talk to either of them.
Listen up, floor 3 to 9 are special okay?
How?
All xp accumulated in them is reserved until after you reach floor 10.
Huh?
The bosses on each level are the same level as the boss on this level, with each level having their own speciality.
Like what?
Floor 3 has spirits.
Huh? Isn''t that the same as this floor?
No, like the spirit you saw on floor 1, they are all unable to take physical damage, but enough mental magic can cause them to disperse, basically dying, so killing them should be no problem.
But I killed one on floor one?
It was a lesser spirit and if you must, you can just use conversion magic to convert the spirit to physical, but it''ll only last a second and will obviously come with recoils.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Floor 4 has elementals, mental magic is not an element so they have no counter for you, while you can just use brute strength.
Floor 5 is fully focused on poisonous monsters.
Floor 6 is focused on ranged monsters, so sword qi will be useful, and so will your spatial magic.
Floor 7 is focused on tanky monsters, so it''ll take longer but is a lot less dangerous.
Floor 8 is based on invisible monsters, so you should get a counter for that.
Floor 9 is the problem, it''s basically every non-elemental type monster, which includes your mental magic.
What a joy, but does skill level still increase?
Yea.
Okay that works, I guess, what about boss awards?
Yea.
Ok, I can live with that, what level is the boss on this floor though?
75.
So it''ll be as strong as a level 150.
Yea, but it won''t be ridiculous like floor ones boss, floor ones boss was much stronger than a level 125 due to having 2 percent of ancient giant in its bloodline.
Yea, what''s that bloodline thing?
Its ancestor was an ancient giant, Meaning a very strong giant that''s lived for a very long amount of time.
Oh, that was a lot simpler than expected, but I killed a wyvern with 2 percent true dragon in its bloodline.
Oh, that one was basically a newborn, which is the only reason you were able to kill it.
So I basically killed a newborn, but also got badly injured by one?
Yea.
Anyways, I found more dungeons on floor one so I''m gonna go do those instead.
Alone?
I''m more than strong enough to do so you know?
As for you Jamine, you will keep staying on floor 2 with Shila by yourself and hunting while I deal with all the dungeons on floor 1 cus apparently each dungeon only works once for each person, which isn''t fair.
It is very fair.
Just go already.
Fine.
As another two months passes, Hilda officially reaches level 100 due to getting xp from three sources, with Aiden at level 90, giving Jamine the ability to regenerate much faster due to being half of Hilda''s level and therefore level 50.
Hey, could we kill the boss yet? Hilda asks Shila through the system.
I guess we could, with me and Jamie''s ability, we could wear the boss down until it''s weak enough and you can use a strong enough attack.
Sure, teleport to me.
Ok, now Shila, evolve your skills and tear the tip coupon.
You''re so lazy. Shila complains but still complies in the end.
As Shila tears the coupon, they get teleported back to the guide as Hilda starts sniffing the surroundings again but doesn''t react, indicating that the guide didn''t go back to her sister.
Hi, I''m busy, so let''s get to the point.
The magic you will need for your idea is going to be regeneration and tough skin, both are passive skills.
The guide disappears immediately without leaving Hilda a chance to ask questions.
The guide reappears again for a moment.
Oh yea Hilda, the tower is made hoe just to increase the strength, but skills, like a person''s actual fighting skills, not the ones in the system, so some floors may provide experience despite not having killed any monsters and only lifeforms.
As the guide says that, he disappears again, sending them back in awkward silence.
What just happened?
How should I know? You’re his favourite, not me.
Screw it, just help me buy the skills he said along with some more suited for running or avoiding opponents.
Ok done
Regeneration(rare)
Increases natural and external sources of regeneration
(Cost:1000)
Tough skin(rare)
Makes the user''s skin tougher, making it harder to bleed along with reducing the strength of blunt attacks.
(Cost:1000)
Sixth sense(epic)
Can sense danger or anything the user may be looking for.
(Cost:2000)
Well, what kind of a boss is it?
A magician type.
What?
I''m not sure, I don''t have the specifics, I''m gonna go into the territory with Jamine now, have fun and call us once you reach!
With that, Shila disappears with Jamine, leaving Hilda alone as she wanders off in a random direction to go to the side to head to the boss, taking only a day to reach.
As she reaches, she calls Shila and Jamine out.
Wow, that was quick, let''s go in now.
Wait, I''m gonna go take a nap first, you two are gonna stand guard.
Sure.
Hilda opens her tent and goes to sleep, waking up in a couple hours with monsters trying to get into the tent while Jamine and Shila sleep peacefully beside her.
I guess they do look cute, but somehow always refuse to listen to me properly.
As Hilda goes out and easily kills the monsters, she goes back in and sees Shila and Jamine with a camera in their hands, repeating that she admitted that she thought they were cute.
See, she doesn''t hate us, albeit cruel but she still loves us cause we''re cute. Shila says still not noticing Hilda back with making Jamine nods.
Hey, you two, what are you guys doing?
Nothing? Shila tries hiding it back in Hilda''s inventory, something she does when she takes too much food out of the food box.
Hilda lies down between the two who just stare at her.
I admit you two are cute “LOOKING”, but where did you get that camera from?
Don''t be a cheapskate, it was only 200 points and I''ve done enough work at the village for you already.
Next time ask, or you''re getting beaten.
Fine.you too Jamine.
Y-yes.
Right, shall we go now?
Sure.
Y-yea.
Let''s go then.
