Chapter 41: Busy Little Bee
Delta eyed the screen with a twitch.
Bloodcurdling Mushroom: This mushroom has moved down a level and evolved due to the mana strain. If devoured, the eater will suffer body convulsions, sweat, visions, and some other minor things. This will render them bedridden for a day or so but at least this variety is no longer hazardous to burn, still foul though. Is not fatal unless they keep eating them for some reason but people can be that unpredictable.
Well, that was just dandy. Delta dismissed the screen, just knowing there upgrades for the vile things waiting for her. She sighed and opened a new box she had made in her...happy state.
Delta’s list of goals!
Repay Dil, the farmers son, in some way.Make the fishing better for Ruli.Make more levels and get an avatar!Make the...not-dungeon a place for all the good peopleFigure out more about the world and where the demon child is hiding.Destroy the evil mushrooms by any means necessary.
Delta thought it was a very reasonable list for her current state. Sadly, she hadn’t grown enough food or such to be of help on a farm. Not unless Dil wanted to be an apple farmer...
“Nu, is there some way to gift a pig or make something to be taken out the dungeon?” Delta tried and Nu flashed to her side.
A monster cannot be taken out of the dungeon realm.
Delta frowned then an idea hit her.
“What about a critter or something?” she asked and Nu hesitated.
Critters are just very weak monsters, animals basically but with intelligence. They work on enhancing a dungeon in some form, I doubt they can leave either.
Nu’s words were blunt but not unkind. He hovered over to Delta’s list and looked it over.
The child will heal in time, surely you need not worry about the one human you have fought. I already have an alert for any kind of memorial if we unlock it... surely that is enough?
Delta snapped her eyes up and she stormed up to Nu, finger jabbing.
“I will never just let that go. I lured him into the dungeon by stealing his livestock. He needed that animal or he would have never come after it. I can’t let just let that go,” Delta stressed and Nu only floated for a second before more words appeared.
Human life. It is a conundrum for us. We feed off it but we seek to protect it. Yes. I did not want to suggest this due to perhaps being a waste of resources but I... if it makes you feel better. We have a method of giving people things that they remove from the dungeon. Rewards. The challenges have only been shown to give objects but looking it over, I’d see no reason it cannot form a simplistic life-form as a reward. There is even a nice spot for something referred to as ‘Mounts’. I suspect dungeons can give living rewards if they advance enough.
Delta blinked then hugged the screen, Nu dinged in annoyance and slipped away.
I feel all rough now...
“Nu, we just need to get enough pigs or maybe just bacon and maybe we can set a pig as a reward? I mean, we killed one pig and got two boars out of it. Are you sure we can’t set a pig reward just now?” she asked and Nu shivered as he tried to shake off the contact.
No. We can either get the creature or use the option up for the boss choice. We will need another pig to replace the template or as you said, enough pieces of one.
Delta smiled.
“I’ll ask Ruli, she brought me a forest last time,” she reminded and Nu shuddered.
I had to sort all those windows out... next time, give her a quota and cut her off before she brings you some godly pig of the mountains or something equally... Ruli.
“I’ll ask her to take it easy, besides, it’s not just the pig. Anything that can help that family out would work. I just don’t have anything besides some pots and a fish that still needs to be caught,” Delta said aloud and gave the black mushroom another dirty look.
“Still, I have a lot of DP and Mana now. Nu, give it to me straight, what am I lacking that could make my life easier?” she walked on top of the river, a neat little trick she managed to figure out without meaning to.
A secure way to fend people off who wish to use your core mana for greedy purposes?
“Well... that’s why this floor is gonna be a real jungle maze and I mean the lower we go, the safer I am, right?” Delta pointed out and Nu dinged softly.
There are people who conquer dungeons in the hundreds if what Ruli has said is true. But yes, the deeper we dive into the puzzles and tricks, the better I would feel. Besides that, your jungle is merely a patchy plain with a few trees. Your plants aren’t exactly spreading much besides the grass.
Delta looked around and sure enough, she could see one end of the room from the other. Was it meant to take this long to make a decent jungle?
“Flowers... they spread with pollen. Pollen gets around in various ways, like butterflies, wasps... bees,” Delta paused and Nu went quiet.
We forgot about the bees.
Jungle Bee: These are simple minded gathers of pollen, the more plants and flowers on the floor the more these workers will grow in numbers and effectiveness. Its stinger may apply a local paralytic poison. It will not kill. 13 Mana.
“Nu, I thought you were on top of this?” Delta teased and Nu went purple, his words shrinking.
I have been rather busy dealing with your illogical screeching of fungi. It would throw anyone off their game!
“Right, right,” Delta smiled and made two of the bees.
Sure, she could debate and plan what the bees would to her jungle room, see what could change... but Delta wouldn’t bee herself if she planned things too much.
Two tiny red-striped bees appeared and buzzed curiously around. Delta cooed at their fluffiness and then moved back a little as they floated closer with their stingers moving in a little dance.
“They won’t die if they lose that stinger... right?” Delta had to ask and Nu was quiet.
I do not know. Maybe we bred enough ‘monster’ into them for them to be a bit more...durable.We need to test that, perhaps Ruli would like to help us there?
Upgrade stinger to be lethal in a smaller dose. 10 DP *I suspect this is not what you want.Allow Bees to collect pollen faster. 13 DPTransform one bee in this room into a Jungle Queen Bee. 20DP *Well, hello there. Delta, the system has come with a pre-build bee kingdom package!Allow bees to lead to the secret waterfall if pleased by visitors. *’Pleased’ is annoyingly blank in details. I assume we’ll find out.
Frog tribesman, Rale:
Evolve into:Frog Warrior: A frog man who has taken the art of fighting to the next level. 15 DPFrog Shadow: A frog man who can be one with the jungle shadows. 15 DPFrog Witch Doctor: A frog who can bend the nature of the jungle. 15 DPFrog Chieftain: (Rare) The leader of the frog tribesmen. It gains bonuses when the tribe thrives. Only one may exist at a time. 20 DPUnique Opportunity: challenges 2/5Upgrade spear to hold the jungle bee’s poison. 10 DPGrant weak poison resistance to any plant grown in the jungle. 28 DP
Delta was impressed. Rale had options and the frog... was still diving after rocks.
“Rale, do you want to be a frog that hits hard, sneaks or curses people both figuratively or literally, boss people around or do something special that I have no idea about?” Delta called and Rale paused.
“I want to rescue idiot people who fall in the river, great mother,” he said with pride and Delta looked at the options and then nodded.
“Alright, you just keep up the good work. If some ‘lifeguard’ option comes up, we’ll talk about it! Are you happy, do you need anything?” Delta asked before she left and Rale looked around then shrugged softly.
“I need better things to rescue. I need to be better, faster!” Rale kneeled.
“Stronger!” Delta finished without pausing and Rale only agreed.
“Hm, you need... work out gear? Human-shaped dummies... okay, I’ll keep that in mind, I just need to get some Mana. You hang tight and I’ll be back with the brand new spanking frog gym before you know it!” Delta promised and clearing her throat, spoke.
“Stone dumbbell!”
Creation: Stone dumbbell added to list.
“Wooden bench!”
Creation: Wooden bench added to list
“Ugh... this is going to take forever. Nu, is there a way to set it to auto-discovery something?” Delta asked and Nu thought about it.
Try... this.
Creation: All common items related to a gym. This will only work if you know the items. It won’t create things you do not know or have no idea how it works.
“Yeah, because that would be far too easy,” Delta replied dryly.
“Creation: All common items related to a gym!” she called and Rale watched with interest.
There was a pause and a screen appeared.
Gym item subsection being created. Process will be slowed to prevent mental deterioration
“Oh sweet, it worked! Let’s see...” Delta opened the gym section and saw items appear slowly one after another.
“This should do for now,” Delta hit the menu and for 4 mana, two stone dumbbells appeared, hitting the ground with a heavy thud. Rale approached with wide eyes.
He reached down and lifted, pausing as he had to actually put effort into the act.
Delta didn’t have enough Mana for the iron ones yet. She hoped Rale would like these ones...
“Mother, I... am not worthy,” Rale whispered and Delta just beamed. The frogman began to lift, once then twice and the began to alternate his flexing.
His skin bulged as already impressive muscles began to feel the strain.
Challenge...3/5 completed.
Delta blinked and then smiled at the screen.
“You can do it!” she cheered as she watched Rale really begin to pump the weights at a speed that she was sure wasn’t needed...
Sitting down near the waterfall, she opened the deep pool menu before it, noticing it was not the river menu but something entirely new.
Abyss Pool:
Allow Lumen Mushrooms to grow underwater and light up the tunnel if tribute is paid. Turn them into new species. 20 DPPlace a monster inside as a guardian: Available monsters: Frog tribesman, Crayclaw, mutated Silvertail 20 DPPurchase a randomly generated guardian for the pool. Cannot be undone. 19 DP
“I don’t how I feel about the system offering my a gamble...” Delta said aloud and Nu dinged in agreement.
It could be a pure killer, not by choice. Some monsters are just lethal by existence. It could also be useless or shy. I am almost upset with myself to offer such a roll of the dice!
“I... do like gambling in games. I mean, what's the worst the can happen? I get a cool monster and it might open all sorts of paths! I mean it’s not like I’m going be getting some convenient s-class mermaid, sea fairy or something. First, this a lottery, not a wish fulfilment device. Also, if this doesn’t work out, there is plenty of fish in the sea!” Delta pointed out and tapped the screen.
Are we doing wordplay now? Good grief...
19 DP vanished and a form began to take shape in the pool. Delta watched with anticipation.
“Come on cute turtle! Momma feels lucky!” Delta called and the water began to bubble.
Then the thing appeared, rising up like a column of yellow ridges and two large black pinchers. It wiggled back and forward as water rained down around them. It snapped them shut like a steel trap, it turned to where Delta was and made some unholy shrieking noise. Delta screeched back, making the worm wriggle in greeting. Delta fled.
Nu silently showed her the text that appeared, not that Delta did anything but run into a tree, still screeching.
Abyss Worm: A ‘harmless’ bobbit worm that has gone under extreme growth from blue mana exposure and is now your new guardian! Congratulations!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Some monsters are just lethal by existence. It could also be useless or shy. I am almost upset with myself to offer such a roll of the dice! I... do like gambling in games. I mean, what's the worst the can happen? I get a cool monster and it might open all sorts of paths! I mean it's not like I'm going be getting some convenient s-class mermaid, sea fairy or something. First, this a lottery, not a wish fulfilment device. Also, if this doesn't work out, there is plenty of fish in the sea! Delta pointed out and tapped the screen.Are we doing wordplay now? Good grief... 19 DP vanished and a form began to take shape in the pool. Delta watched with anticipation.Come on cute turtle! Momma feels lucky! Delta called and the water began to bubble.Then the thing appeared, rising up like a column of yellow ridges and two large black pinchers. It wiggled back and forward as water rained down around them. It snapped them shut like a steel trap, it turned to where Delta was and made some unholy shrieking noise. Delta screeched back, making the worm wriggle in greeting. Delta fled.Nu silently showed her the text that appeared, not that Delta did anything but run into a tree, still screeching.Abyss Worm: A harmless' bobbit worm that has gone under extreme growth from blue mana exposure and is now your new guardian! Congratulations!
