“Details please,” I asked, seeing Jill pause to look at her grimoire right in the middle of explaining what she meant when she said that everything she was doing down here was because of the dungeon relocation experimentation led by Luna in sky blossom city.
“One second, I just received a dungeon-wide analysis report from my golems. I have to check whether something has changed in the last hour. I will get back to you once I am done with this,” Jill said with her head buried in her grimoire.
“Can’t that wait until after we reached your base?” I asked as Jill was so focused on verifying the report sent to her by her golems that we had to hover in the air waiting for her to finish.
“No, I have 50 mins before my golems begin the next dungeon-wide analysis. Meaning I have to check this report for anomalies, and if any, I have to fix them before the golems do the next round of dungeon-wide analysis. I am pressed for time here, and explaining this to you is not helping,” Jill yelled while multitasking.
Knowing I was getting in her way I chose to keep mum, let her do her thing, and decided to search for something to keep myself busy with. Since I was being carried by Jill’s mental strength 500 ft above ground in an underground field dungeon I had lost the freedom of foot and the grimoire network. Yeah, I had nothing to do up here but watch Jill in her zone.
Now that I have got a moment to take a good look at Jill, I discovered that she was hiding a bombshell of a body under her oversized white lab coat. Her extrapolate curves added to form a perfect hourglass body. Which was supported by her slender legs that were covered in above-knee white stockings.
Suddenly I started to find Jill quite pleasing to the eyes, especially the cherry lips on her oval face. This realization shocked me but then I guessed it had something to do with the fact that she wasn’t talking. Too bad she will start talking once she was done verifying the report. Deciding to enjoy Jill’s beauty while it lasts I continued to stare at her profane body with insanely huge Juggs.
“You are in luck, no anomalies found— why are you staring at me?” Jill was announcing that she had finished verifying the report but was interrupted catching me staring at her.
“It was fun while it lasted,” I muttered as I withdrew my gaze from Jill’s body as her voice had shattered the serene beauty of her obscene body.
“What?” Jill asked in confusion.
“…” I shook my head dealing with the sense of loss I was feeling.
“Creep,” Jill uttered.
“Whatever,” I chose to ignore Jill’s cuss and added, “So, you were saying your research down here had everything to do with the dungeon relocation experiment conducted by Luna in the sky blossom city.”
“Oh, yes. It’s funny how If not for my participation in the dungeon relocation experimentation I would never have stumbled on this breakthrough,” Jill said, reminiscing how her part-time research led to a big breakthrough in her full-time research. And your superiors are okay with it?” I asked Jill in surprise because as far as I know, assistant researchers were the bitches of the senior researchers they were assigned to them. And no senior researcher would be willing to share his bitch with a senior researcher of another field.
“Superiors?” Jill said hinting for more details on it.
“I mean the senior researcher you were assigned to,” I said.
“I don’t have one, it was the part of my contract when the Morningstar pouched me from my university,” Jill said with great pride.
“How does that work? How can research be led by an assistant researcher? Now, who is making stuff up?” I called bull on Jill’s claim.
“Believe what you want. What I just said is 100 percent true. I’m just that good at what I do, you better believe it.
True Fact, I demand a senior researcher title but then in order not to hurt the feelings of the old foggies in the university they persuaded me to become an assistant researcher with the pay of a senior researcher, my own field of research, and promise that my title will be promoted to the senior researcher after half a century,” Jill bragged.
“Sure,” I said sarcastically not believing a single thing Jill just claimed.
“You don’t believe me,” As Jill said that she felt a sense of dejavu. Unable to figure out where and when she had experienced the same she shook her head and added, “Seeing how you are close to the Southern Royal family, I am guessing you will be attending MorningStar university. I show you my majesty then.”
“Sure,” I choose to go along with Jill’s words because I did not want to start another argument with her.
“Just you wait,” Jill uttered while making a mental note to teach the boy a lesson for calling her a liar.
“You never said why you were participating in the dungeon relocation experiment instead working on your research?” I reminded Jill.
“Do I need a reason for it? The words dungeon relocation says it all and because I was stuck in my research, it was going nowhere,” Jill responded.
Hearing her response I learned a new thing about Jill she becomes talkative once she gets comfortable around you. I bet the oath she made me take had her weaken her guard and indifferent act in my presence. This was a good thing now I get to learn more about her research with little effort but sometimes when I hear her I have the urge to yell, shut up. Now I wished she would continue to act indifferent.
“So what did you find when you participated in the dungeon relocation experiments?” I said hoping Jill will return to the track.
“That dungeon relocation research gets way more funding and donations compared to my research,” Jill replied grudgingly.
“And?” I led, hoping Jill will continue, ‘Oh, she did alright.’
“I leaked the news that the dungeon relocation apparatus is very inefficient, The amount of the soul energy required to relocate an F-rank dungeon is equal to the soul energy required to keep an SS-rank dungeon powered, to all media outlets,” Jill confessed and then added, ” I shouldn’t have done that. My plan backfired. Once people learned that dungeon relocation was possible, big families and organizations started to make insane donations never seen before to Dungeon Relocation research.”
“Who would have seen that coming, Right? People would be totally insane to be willing to pay a huge amount of price just to relocate a dungeon of their choice to a safe location far from their enemies and competitors,” I said sarcastically as even a grade-schooler could see that the advantages of dungeon relocation outweighed the disadvantages but I guess, Jill, as a researcher was more focused on the efficiency of the process to achieve required results more than the use of the results.
“Next time, you take to me in that tone, I know all your 32 teeth out. You know I can, thanks to the list of terms and conditions,” Jill warned me to take my sarcasm elsewhere as she would not tolerate it. And the list of terms and conditions she added to her oath also mentioned it.
“Sorry, my bad,” I apologized to Jill and then asked her, “Jill, answer this for me, if the soul energy required to relocate an F-rank dungeon is equal to the amount of soul energy required to power an SS-rank dungeon, how much soul energy do you require to relocate a D-rank dungeon?”
“Um, probably enough to power an SSS-rank dungeon. Maybe throw in another SS-rank dungeon,” Jill answered.
Soul energy required to power an SSS-rank and an SS-rank dungeon was a lot to squander just to relocate a D-rank dungeon, but the fact that this D-rank dungeon was the Silver Beach Gate dungeon made the cost worth it.
Considering the profits the silver milk powder would bring the cost of an SSS-rank and SS-rank dungeon was nothing. This was the perfect example of why the big Families and organizations were willing to donate to the Dungeon relocation research. Dungeons were the primary source of many products in this world, despite their look rank they reeked enough profits that could help the family buy many SSS-rank dungeons. So It should not come as a surprise that people were willing to heavily invest in dungeon relocation.
Just when I was contemplating how the cost of the dungeon relocation was nothing compared to its advantages, I came to a sudden realization that Jill used the word inefficient to describe the shortcoming of the dungeon relocation apparatus and not costly or insanely expensive. I wanted to ignore this believing that it was a typo but then thinking of the compulsive behavior displayed by her I could not help but wonder whether this was a mistake or intentional.
