As Tian Tian's group was leaving the dungeon, Lin Fan and Rokuko stopped watching them and started going over the things that they had noticed during their dungeon run.
They had been watching Tian Tian's group as they went through the dungeon so they could see what needed improving and what they could replace.
"It seems like the difficulty is good, it'll draw the right crowd that have enough money to spare and will be easy enough for them to earn a decent amount from." Lin Fan said.
Rokuko complained, "But if it's easy for them, then we won't earn as much DP. We should replace the monsters with stronger monsters so we can kill more of them and earn more DP."
Lin Fan slapped the blue orb and said, "Killing, killing, you only know how to kill to get DP. Don't you know that it's more profitable for them to stay in the town than to kill them for DP?"
Rokuko asked in a confused voice, "How is it more profitable? We barely earn a tenth of what we would earn if we just killed them. If we kill them all, at least we can get a bunch of DP to improve the dungeon to earn even more DP with."
Lin Fan shook his head when he heard this and he said with a sigh, "Your eyes truly are shortsighted, all you can think about what you can gain in the short run and don't plan for the future."
Rokuko felt like she was being looked down on like this, so she quickly said, "How so? The stronger the dungeon, the better it is! Anyone can understand this simple logic!"
Lin Fan kept shaking his head when he heard this and he said, "So you think that only a strong dungeon is a good dungeon?"
Rokuko couldn't nod, but it was clear by the way that the blue orb was flashing that she agreed to this.
Lin Fan gave a sigh and said, "Like I said, that's why you have such short term sight. You really can't see into the future at all."
Rokuko was angered by this and she said, "Then why don't you tell me about your long term plan? Let me see how "farsighted" you are!"
Lin Fan revealed a faint smile when he heard this, "Well first off, how many experts do you think there are in this world? If you make your dungeon stronger, how many people do you think will actually come to it?"
Rokuko was taken aback when she heard this, but she quickly countered, "But each one of them are worth a large amount of DP, so we wouldn't need that many of them to come."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Fan gave a nod to agree to this before refuting, "But how many do you think will come? This dungeon would be a dangerous place and they are all important people. Do you really think that they would risk their lives to come to a place like this?"
Rokuko still said, "We only need just one to earn a large amount of DP. It would be far more than what we could earn from this group in years of them staying here."
Lin Fan once again nodded in agreement, but then he said, "No matter how you look at it, this is unreliable, especially since we would have no way of advertising our dungeon. Without any reputation, no one would come to our dungeon in the first place. Not to mention that anyone who could advertise it would be dead since we would be killing almost all the people who come here for DP according to your plan."
Rokuko wanted to say something, but there was nothing that she could refute this with.
Lin Fan then said, "With the word of mouth from each of the people that come to our dungeon, we have more and more people coming to this town. While they don't give us as much DP as a single powerful expert would individually, all of them added together would give us more than a single powerful expert could."
Lin Fan's voice became more excited as he said, "That is what's called a sustainable profit model! We need to be able to continuously earn DP instead of just living on DP that we earn once in a while, that's not a healthy lifestyle!"
As he said this, it almost seemed like he was dragging things from his past life up…
After all, he had been one of those people who had lived off part time work and writing s online, so most of the time, he didn't have a stable income.
Rokuko was a bit scared when she saw Lin Fan like this, so she quickly said, "Alright, alright, I get it."
Lin Fan realized his mistake and calmed himself down before saying, "Not to mention that everything that we earn is pure profits since we don't have any cost expenses."
Other than their initial investment, there actually wasn't any cost expenses in running this dungeon. It didn't even cost them DP to summon the mobs that patrolled the dungeon.
That was because Lin Fan had been smart enough to invest in something called a spawner.
While this limited the number of mobs that they could have in the dungeon each day, it was much cheaper than having to spend DP to replace all the mobs that were killed.
The spawner would let them spawn a certain amount of mobs per day based on what kind of spawner it was. So Lin Fan had chosen the cheapest spawners that were available in the store.
But to his surprise, most of these "weak" creatures designated by the store were still at least in the Second Qi Gathering Realm.
It was more than enough to guard the dungeon from the mercenaries.
Not to mention that these mobs summoned by the spawned acted just like normal mobs, so they were also able to drop loot.
But there was one problem with the dungeon…
Lin Fna didn't know if the loot was good or bad by human standards. He could see what the description of the loot was with his Appraisal Eyes, but his Appraisal Eyes didn't tell him the exact values of these items.
So he wasn't sure if the loot the dungeon dropped was good or not.
He would have to wait until he was able to talk to Tian Tian to get a scope of how good the loot the monsters dropped was. But to make sure that they were at least satisfied, he had given them a chest drop with the first slime that they killed.
He had seen how they had looked at the kobold fangs and had thought that they were disappointed, so he had chosen to give them at least the chest with the sword so they wouldn't feel that this trip was an entire waste.
That was still something that he could do as the dungeon master.
After talking about costs and profits, Lin Fan suddenly remembered something else.
He turned to Rokuko and narrowed his eyes.
When Rokuko saw this, she felt a chill run through her round body and then she asked, "What is it?"
Lin Fan said in a cold voice, "Why did you have Moo give out that roar?"
Rokuko didn't say anything at first since she didn't know what to say, but then she doubled down and said, "Why shouldn't he let out that roar? They were invading my little Moo's territory, so of course he had to show them who's the boss! Why shouldn't he let out a roar to scare them?"
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "That's because that's not his territory. We've already talked about this."
Rokuko quickly said, "We didn't talk about this, you just decided it yourself!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Fan then said in a stern voice, "I've already told you that we don't want to defeat everyone that comes. Not to mention that Moo is too strong for the normal people who come to defeat, so he's the boss of the floor. All he needs to do is stay in the center and wait for powerful people to come. If he just roars all day, it'll scare off all our potential customers."
Rokuko didn't give up as she said, "But if all Moo does is stay inside all day, then how can he become stronger? He needs exercise and fights to become stronger."
Lin Fan gave up on this and decided to use violence. After all, he knew that if he continued arguing with her, it would just be like arguing with a child.
So Lin Fan put his fist on Rokuko.
Rokuko had been in the middle of her rant when he did this. She was caught off guard and didn't know what was happening, so she asked, "What are you…wait…ah…stop, don't! It hurts, it hurts!"
Lin fan had started twisting his fist back and forth, giving Rokuko core a noogie.
Rokuko's core was her main body, so naturally she could feel anything that happened to it. That included the violence that Lin Fan was currently using.
Finally she gave up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being selfish!"
Lin Fan finally stopped his violence and gave a satisfied nod as he said, "Good, it seems like you're finally learning your lesson."
Rokuko's blue core just dimmed at that, showing that she was sad.
But Lin Fan didn't care since she deserved this for acting willfully.
Lin Fan was about to say something else, but then he noticed something.
He just gave a few orders to Rokuko before heading back to town.
Tian Tian's group had made it out of the dungeon.
Rokuko just muttered to herself as he left, "He's so selfish, can't he learn to appreciate me and my ideas?"
But then she got spirited again as she remembered all the good times that she had with Lin Fan during this time designing this dungeon.
If she could smile, she would definitely be smiling now.
