Now Isaac had two dungeons. He had additional resources to get zenny. Besides, the location of the dungeon was in Beijing, one of the most populous cities in mainland China. There would be many quality hunters ready to be harvested.

However, he had to finish the piled up work left by Baron Gustav.

After Isaac carried out the raid, many of the monsters in the dungeon died falling victim to his troops, especially the bosses who acted as warden on each floor. They had all been wiped out.

Isaac had to adjust the dungeon's defenses.

He needed to think about how humans could still last longer in the dungeon designed by Baron Gustav.

It would take time and effort, especially zenny. He had to rearrange the distribution of monsters based on the strength level, food chain, and terrain difficulty.

Luckily, he had a new servant who could help him solve the problem.

In contrast to Pippi who was childish and frivolous, Kurnish seemed calm and mature. He was able to solve various complex problems that existed in the dungeon, such as the quarrel between the tribes.

But before that, Isaac needed to connect the dungeon in Beijing and at the tripoint border.

"Kirnish, I will introduce you to my Dungeon Manager. Even if you manage a different dungeon, I want you to know each other for future relationships. She's very childish, but she's great at her job."

"Yes, my lord."

Isaac then contacted Pippi via telepathy. Instantly, her cheerful voice echoed in his head.

"Oh, my lord! Pippi hasn't heard from you in two days. Don't worry, the dungeon is still safe. Those stupid humans won't be able to break into the dungeon as long as Pippi is here."

Isaac sighed. He could never get used to hearing the way Pippi talked. Kirnish looked at his master's expression of astonishment. This was the first time he saw a Demon Lord putting on a bored expression.

"Pippi, listen carefully. I want to connect our dungeon with the one in Beijing."

"What?!" The surprised tone of her voice was clear. "Lord, you managed to conquer a dungeon? Incredible! I knew that the Lord would be able to defeat that ugly demon."

Isaac clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Pippi, focus; do as I command."

"Oh, sorry Lord! Pippi was too happy. Pippi will get to work soon."

His attention then turned to Kirnish. The servant was still looking down on the floor. Isaac who saw him being silent felt like he saw a dog.

"You too, Kirnish."

"Yes, my lord."

Not long after that, Kirnish emitted a light that enveloped his entire body.

He was building a connection with Pippi.

From the outside, the top of the dungeon lit up like a lighthouse, as did the dungeon on the tripoint border. Then, the light shot through the sky and clouds and met each other at one point.

The incident caught the attention of people. As good civilians, they recorded the incident with a phone camera and uploaded it to the internet. The journalists who were in charge of getting the recent news also broadcasted the incident quickly.

Various rumors quickly circulated on the internet.

"It's done, my lord."

Kirnish seemed to have a pale face, as if a large amount of energy had been oozing out of his body.

Then, out of empty air, the shards of light appeared and gathered into one, forming the figure of a little girl with a wide smile on her face.

Of course, she was Pippi.

"Lord!"

The first thing Pippi did was run and hug Isaac. She missed her master very much, even more so after not seeing the man for two days.

Isaac quickly flicked the girl's forehead to calm her down.

"I never understood why you never remember what I said, Pippi."

"Heheh, forgive Pippi, Lord," the little girl replied with a clumsy look on her face.

Kirnish, who saw how close their relationships were, looked dumbfounded. He had never done that to Baron Gustav. His former master was arrogant and short-tempered. Trying to hug the demon was like defiance in his eyes.

After linking his dungeon to Baron Gustav's former dungeon, it was now possible for Isaac to teleport to both of his dungeons.

Not only the Dungeon Manager and the owner that could teleport but also the monsters.

Isaac planned to transfer some of his monsters to this dungeon. It was to save costs and get rid of monsters that were rapidly overpopulating; such as orcs and goblins.

"PIppi, this is Kirnish. Kirnish, this is Pippi. Now that both of you are partners."

"Pleased to meet ypu," Kirnish said. He reached out to Pippi with a smiling face.

Meanwhile, Pippi seemed to have a different reaction. She raised one of her eyebrows. The little girl didn't hide her displeasure even since she saw Kirnish for the first time. As Isaac's first Dungeon Manager, she felt superior to Kirnish.

Pippi smirked as she greeted the dark-skinned servant.

"Even though both of you are in charge of different dungeons, you have to work together to keep the dungeon you are guarding at its best. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord," they both answered in unison.

The first stage was over. Now, Isaac moved on to the development stage.

"Alright, let's get to work."

Isaac told Pippi to transfer the savages-type monster to this dungeon and send his remaining troops back. Meanwhile, Kirnish was ordered to help him reorganize the dungeon.

The terrain on the first floor was a barren land full of ravines and high cliffs. Isaac changed the natural setting. He lowered the height of the cliff and lowered the wind speed. It was to reduce the risk of death if a human fell from a height. In addition, in several places, he provided wells for hunters to draw water.

For the inhabitant monsters, he put on monsters that had low affinity; like slim and grass monsters. He shifted the circulation of former monsters—such as harpies—to the edge of the map, so that humans wouldn't get in touch with them. Of course Isaac didn't mean to protect them, but it was to prevent humans from dying prematurely.

After all, Floor 1 was a place for hunters to learn and adapt. In other words, it was a place for tutorials. The goal of the first floor was to make it easier for beginner hunters to level up.

Then, on the 2nd Floor, Isaac made it a little more complex. He changed the colour gradation of the buildings and the surrounding area. In this floor redevelopment, Kirnish took most of the work, as it involved environmental details.

Isaac's purpose in doing that was to increase the visibility of the monsters that were camouflaged or hiding there, such as the treants disguised themselves as trees or golems disguised as rubble. Isaac changed the colour of the surroundings; rocks, debris, leaves, and so on. So that humans could understand the difference a little.

On this floor, he didn't change the distribution of the monsters, because most of them weren't carnivorous types. Instead, he sent a lot of goblins to the 2nd Floor.

On the 3rd Floor, Isaac didn't do much to the environment. Volcanic mountain terrain was dangerous terrain. The temperature was high, lava pools were everywhere, and elemental-type monsters appeared once every 100 meters. No matter how much Isaac changed it, this terrain was still difficult for humans to traverse.

Besides, there were only a few monsters that could survive there, such as drakes and elemental monsters.

The only thing Isaac could do was to place a safe zone free from the threat of monsters.

Last, Floor 4 was where the most changes were made. This floor had an apocalyptic terrain, where plants couldn't grow because the water was polluted. Moreover, there were many monsters that had been mutated due to the bad environment. Their existence ruined the quality of offspring.

Even during the battle, Isaac observed them.

Although some mutated monsters became twice as strong, the next lineage got weaker and most of the monsters were born disable. In other words, the 4th Floor was the dungeon's weakest point.

Isaac was a bit frustrated with managing this floor. He cursed Baron Gustav several times for the stupid decisions the man had made, especially placing the drakes on this floor. It was a waste of resources.

To overcome this, Isaac stopped the acid rain. Then, he made a regional scheme like the Radiant Forest by dividing the 4th Floor into two areas; one part was the polluted and the other was the safe area. He sold all the monsters that had the gene mutation and replaced them with the new ones.

Isaac bought new monsters with high quality and reproduction speed such as; hobgoblins, ogres, lycans and gnools.

It took at least half a month for Isaac to readjust the dungeon. During that time, he was really busy and didn't want to be disturbed. He ignored all kinds of interference from outside, including from Baron Loke who kept contacting him.
