Reincarnated in a Novel World

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Sufficient Exchange Points

As I appeared on the first floor of the dungeon, I focused my attention on the ape that was about 200 or 300 meters away from me.

I released all twelve of my skeletons from the undead space.

After assessing all of them, I decided to start naming the D rank skeleton, as they had the potential to increase their rank by killing the apes.

I approached the D rank skeleton and said, "From now on, your name will be Diablo."

As I named the skeleton, I felt a significant drain of mana. I quickly checked my status to see my mana points.

Mana Points: 720/5720 [20 times my intelligence]

"What! 5000 mana points? Isn't that too much?" I was bewildered by the amount of mana points consumed.

"Neo, that skeleton used 5000 mana points," I quickly asked Neo for an explanation.

[Host, that skeleton was made using undead energy. I believe that naming it with such a large amount of mana points will make it quite formidable in its own league.]

As I considered Neo's suggestion, more monsters began to gather due to the naming process.

I commanded all twelve skeletons to attack the monsters on the first floor.

"Host, you still have nine hours to buy anything from the shop. Why not buy the auto pick-up function, which will help you loot any dropped items?" Neo suggested.

"Oh, that's a good idea. Buy it," I replied. I then thought for a moment and added, "Neo, also buy the investment systems and artificial intelligence within my budget."

[Ding]

[Sufficient Exchange Points]

[Auto pick-up auxiliary function has been purchased]

[50,000 E.P deducted]

[Investment systems auxiliary function has been purchased]

[250,000 E.P deducted]

[Artificial intelligence auxiliary function has been purchased]

[50,000 E.P deducted]

[Author's Note: I will make this novel more realistic, where Sam earns money by himself rather than one trillion in just one day. His family's businesses have mostly volatile money, not assets. I apologize for adding all these auxiliary functions that will help Sam in various ways.

[Ding…]

[Auto pick up feature activated]

[Investment system activated]

[Artificial intelligence integrated into your smartwatch]

After purchasing and activating all of these necessary auxiliary functions, I decided to put them to use.

"Neo, utilize the Link auxiliary function to connect the artificial intelligence with the investment system," I instructed Neo.

[Ding]

[Artificial intelligence successfully linked with Investment system]

I named the artificial intelligence 'Alex'.

"Alex, can you withdraw 10 UMC from every user, as well as retrieve the funds of deceased users from the bank without being detected?" I asked, realizing that I currently had no money.

"Yes, I can do that without being detected," a transparent image materialized from my smartwatch and responded in a human-like manner.

"Okay, then Alex, utilize all the funds for investments, as you will also be responsible for managing the investment system," I instructed.

"Understood, master," Alex replied.

After contemplating for a moment, I added, "And also, remember to notify me if you earn more than 1 trillion."

"Of course, master."

A sense of relief washed over me as everything fell into place. Now, I turned my attention to Diablo, who was still encased in cocoons.

Although it may seem like a considerable amount of time had passed since I named the D-rank skeleton, in reality, only 5 to 10 minutes had elapsed.

Meanwhile, the other 12 skeletons were hunting ape monsters.

Five minutes later…

*Katch * Katcha*

The sound of breaking cocoons filled the air as they gradually shattered.

Before me stood a figure that resembled a human, completely different from the skeletal appearance it had before.

At the same time, a notification from the World System appeared.

[Ding…]

"A D-rank monster has inherited a name."

"It has successfully evolved."

"It has gained sentience."

"Its grade has been successfully upgraded."

"All stat attributes have been increased."

"A new grade list has been generated for naming monsters."

"This rank is also applicable to the Summon profession."

"Soldier."

"General."

"Commander."

"King."

"Emperor."

Diablo [D] [Commander]

Strength: 500

Constitution: 450

Intelligence: 550

Spirit: 600

Grade: Commander

Rank: D

"Master," Diablo kneeled before me.

"Okay, you may rise," I said softly, pleased with the fact that it now possessed a body more comfortable than that of a skeleton.

During this time, the hunt on the first floor had also concluded, and all the skeletons gathered before me.

"Alright, let's move on to the second floor," I announced, entering the black hole-like entrance that instantly teleported us to the next level.

"Diablo, from now on, you will oversee all the skeletons and ensure they hunt every monster in the dungeon," I instructed.

"Understood, master," Diablo replied happily, relaying the command to the other skeletons, who began their search for monsters and delved deeper into the dungeon.

As they set off to hunt ape monsters, I sat down and started to replenish my mana using a basic meditation technique.

"Oh my god! At this rate, I'll never recover 5000 mana points," I thought, frustrated with the slow recovery rate.

A prompt appeared from Neo.

[Ding]

"Host, I suggest you purchase an A-grade mana technique."

"How foolish of me to not have considered buying a mana technique," I scolded myself.

[Ding]

"Sufficient Exchange Points."

"Mana Technique [A] has been purchased."

"50,000 E.P has been deducted."

I stood up, realizing that the second floor was about to be cleared, and said, "Neo, link to another F-grade dungeon."

[Understood.]

"Goblin Dungeon [F] has been linked."

As expected, the second floor was cleared in just 10 minutes, and all the skeletons reappeared before me, led by Diablo.

"Master, all the monsters have been eliminated," Diablo reported happily.

"Excellent job," I praised him, grateful for him handling half of the responsibilities.

"It only took 30 minutes to clear an F-grade dungeon," I mused, opening my inventory to inspect the loot.

[Inventory: [200 F-grade and 4 E-grade strength stat crystals, 100 F-grade constitution stat crystals, 152 monster carcasses, 3705 gold coins]]
