Thus the idea that he spawns a monster that could potentially wipe out a low ranking party on the upper floors, didn't seem appropriate to him.
"I know what lord Simon is thinking, it is dangerous to spawn them on the upper floors but what about the middle floors? The adventurers there might be able to do sothing and co up with ways and strategies to defeat these monsters".
"What I'm suggesting to lord Simon is that we won't just spawn it in a random place on the middle floors but in a specific area that is secluded from the other parts of the floor. Furthermore, to entice the adventurers into entering these areas, we can also spawn treasure chests that can appeal to them and have the fire demon ape guard it".
Fay was expressive, excited even as she put her ideas out. Listening to her, it was not only Simon but even the other [helpers] who were surprised. From her words and how detailed she was, it could be said that she had thought things through before speaking up.
"So you are saying that we will set up a trap that will lure any greedy adventurer or a party of them to specific area where we would spawn the fire demon ape and if they manage to defeat it, they would be rewarded by the treasure chest it is guarding?... hmm interesting; No it is a very viable idea, it will be like a side boss chamber".
The more he thought, the more this suggestion made sense to Simon. He was a forr ga developer and a dungeon master at present, the idea of making a hidden chamber of so sorts filled with monsters and treasures, like in those gas boiled his blood.
If you are powerful enough, you will be rewarded or else your greed will be your downfall. Simon flashed a fierce smile and looked at Fay, if he was not wrong, she had suggested sothing similar not too long ago when he ca back from his trip.
"The treasure chest and the rewards that are spawned, are too plain in sight. Maybe we could stall more of their ti if we make it spawn in risky and complex places".
If he was not wrong that's what she said at that ti. Now, she even ca up with this idea.
Seeing that their lord liked it, the other forest spring spirits praised her, making Fay blush a little. Simon smiled and imdiately approved of this idea, furthermore, he even awarded a certain amount of DP to Fay and made her in charge of this project.
"Use this DP to alter an area of the floor as you see fit. Also, I will give you specific access to spawn the Fire Demon Ape and a few other monsters for the ti being. Additionally, you don't have to worry about the contents of the treasure chests, there are tons of [D] and [C] rank artefacts and weapons sitting in my inventory, so of them can be considered treasures from their view".
There was also the items the adventurers that had died inside the dungeon that are left behind. If he counted those items too, then there was no shortage of rewards that can be put inside those treasure chests.
With those words, Simon handed the authority of creating a special side boss chambers to Fay who ca up with the idea in the first place. All the other [Helpers] were happy to see her being praised so much by their lord and basked in her happiness together.
"I hope you all keep on doing a good job," Simon said raising the spirit of the other [Helpers].
They hurriedly raised their voice saying that they will work harder to deserve such praise. Not long in the future, adventurers would be surprised to find new chambers that would lead them to a secluded corner of the floor where treasure chests could be found.
The news would make waves around the adventurers, many would make their way to those hidden chambers blinded by greed. So would be able to gain vast riches while others would et their end by the guardian that protected the chest.
The allure of the [D] tier and occasional [C] tier weapon would make all the adventurers no matter their rank drool and would soon beco a hot topic amongst the adventurers. However, that was sothing for the near future.
Now that the thing he ca here to do was finished, Simon along with Alice teleported back to the main floor. While on their way to one of the chambers of the white palace, Simon glanced towards Alice and asked "How long are you planning to sulk like that?".
"Unnn~" Alice had a face that said she was jealous of soone.
"Sigh… you see that suggestion was quite sothing, that is why she deserved my praise. You don't have to be jealous of her, both Fay and your strength lie in different areas" Simon consoled the downtrodden girl.
Amongst the Valkyries, Alice was the youngest. Although Simon can't guess her age she seed to be a few years older than Cecilia.
"But master I couldn't show my usefulness the last ti, this ti too, I couldn't control my strength properly and ended up destroying a part of the ceiling," Alice said still looking at the ground.
"If you say it like that then isn't it partly my fault too since I was the one who gave you that weapon? Although it's a far cry from the Heirloom made for you [Heroes], right now these are the only weapon I can give you" the bow that Alice used to snipe the Aberrant was sothing that Simon had given her.
During this past week, Simon tried his luck on the [Ga??????] every day, although he managed to get a few good items such as the golden guardian stones and a few [C] rank artefacts, but the overall result was disappointing to say no less.
Getting the heirlooms for the Valkyries seed like a far-off dream right now. Thus he had no choice but to make a custom made one for them.
He used the [Armoury] function of the main nu and burned through [C] tier weapons like oil and produced a few good weapons that he gave to them for the ti being.
"H-How can that be??" Hearing Simon's words, Alice frantically shook her head and hands saying that it was not his fault.
"In that case, you should stop blaming yourself too. Honestly, I'm more delighted than saddened by the incident. A part of the ceiling being destroyed is sothing that can easily be fixed by using a few DP. But more so than the damage, it gave sothing to think about. If it is what I think it is, then you might have coincidentally discovered sothing that even I didn't consider was possible up until now" Simon continued to speak as he walked forward.
"Sothing that even master didn't know about?" Alice asked tilting her head.
"Yeah" Simon replied, if not for her accidentally damaging the ceiling, he would never have thought about this possibility or perhaps he would have discovered it much later when it started becoming a problem.
Up until now, Simon was always analysing and evaluating things at his own power level. If not for Alice's coincidental action, he wouldn't have thought that destroying a floor was possible. Just a single arrow from her was enough to create a huge hole in the ceiling.
Had she used her full strength, Simon had no doubt that the ceiling might have collapsed. Thus opening a hole to the upper floors.
How was this important? Think about it, if a being on the level of Alice can destroy it, then it was possible for other powerful beings to destroy it too. It doesn't necessarily have to be his subordinate, even adventurers, the truly strong one can use this possibility to open a hole in the floor to descend down the dungeon.
Though the floors swiftly recovers the damage dealt to it, it still ans that there was a way to swiftly descend the floors other than clearing and going through each and every one of them individually.
Simon cannot be sure since he hadn't tried destroying a floor yet but he felt like the possibility was plenty after seeing the scene today. It was a good thing that he was made aware of this possibility at this point in ti or else the result would have been disastrous had this thod been shown to him by the adventurers first.
At that ti, even if Simon could keep his calm, he would be hard pressed to find a solution. Thankfully, now that he knew that sothing like this was possible, he could try coming up with ideas and solutions to counter that.
"Hehe, if master says that I was helpful then I am truly happy" Alice smiled, her previous gloomy and sulky aura was gone replaced by a jubilant atmosphere.
On his way to the main hall of the white palace, Simon thought about every possible way to counter this thod; however, he ca out empty even after a while. It might be true that he had no solution for this problem, but it was not like he was completely out of options.
As far as he knew, every increase in the rank of a dungeon, apart from increasing the maximum floors and unlocking new options in the [main nu], it also increases the defensive power of a dungeon as a whole.
That is to say, the walls, floors and the ceiling becos much stronger and harder to penetrate with each increase in rank.
