Sarah had been very busy and was rarely seen as she felt quite embarrassed to stay around Adam's aunt. She had spent most of her time working on forming and developing her company as she bought a cheap shack with Adam's investment money and began refurbishing it.
After she had overseen the complete refurbishment of the shack, she could sell it for a large profit and repeat the process many times, with many different properties that she had already scouted.
However, she wasn't planning to take the profits out of the business and wanted to reinvest them into another property that she could develop then sell for a profit.
After she had repeated the process a dozen times and had made a name for herself, she could officially open the company as one that develops real estate, while she would also use the company's profit to buy more properties.
She would continue developing properties and would either sell them for a profit or rent them out at a high price, and using that cycle, she would grow the company until it was large enough to work by itself.
Employees and offices were something she was planning for in the future and the company would be one that would have quick progression as there weren't many obstacles to entering the real estate industry.
All that is required was a large sum of money to begin, which she was planning to generate over time by developing low-quality properties and selling them for a profit, then reinvesting the profit to make more money.
While she did that, Adam was using any opportunity that he could to enter the dungeon and was hunting crazily, as he continued killing monkey beasts, wanting to increase his strength as much as possible.
He had spent 32 hours in the dungeon each day, which was 16 hours in reality, and the other 8 hours that he had of the day would be spent relaxing and eating in reality. The 8 hours allowed him to recover from the mental strain that entering the dungeon for long periods of time had on Adam, and also allowed him to eat and drink enough to sustain his body for the day.
After 3 days of following that draining and tiring cycle, Adam had incredibly managed to reach LVL 16.
Making sure not to leave the dungeon until he had at least increased in LVL once, Adam had managed to reach LVL 16 from LVL 13 within 3 days, and his strength had increased greatly.
Returning to reality after his third day of the cycle, Adam had a drained but pleased expression.
He had heard that he had managed to LVL UP to LVL 16 then left the dungeon after he felt he had been in the dungeon for too long over the past 3 days and had strained his mind and soul too much.
[System show me my status including my points and gold] ordered Adam, wanting to see how much he had improved by.
He had made it a habit over the past 3 days not to look at his status every time he would LVL UP as it would make him complacent and entice him to return to reality.
Doing so allowed him to hunt to the best of his ability the entire time he was in the dungeon, rather than relaxing slightly and becoming complacent after seeing that he had progressed.
{Ding, the host's current status, including the host's points and gold, is:
Mortal LVL: 16
Dungeon Form LVL: 2
EXP: 0 / 6000
HP: 270 / 270
IESP: 32 / 32
EESP: 32 / 32
Strength: 28
Speed: 28
Intelligence: 31
Resistance: 28
Charisma: 5
Luck: 5
System Points: 14091
Stat Points: 3
Gold: 178360}
Adam was amazed by how much he had managed to progress in such a short while, and seeing the amount of system points and gold that he had, he was overjoyed.
[I have nearly 2 million dollars worth of gold saved up] exclaimed Adam within his mind joyously.
He couldn't help but be once again reminded of the system's incredible capabilities as he was finally satisfied with amount of system points that he had.
Adam had so many things that he wanted to spend the system points and gold on within the system, but before he did so he needed to make sure of one thing.
With the system, he knew that there was always something that the system didn't inform him of that would come back to bite him in the future and he knew that if he didn't ask, it was unlikely the system would inform him.
[How much does it cost to increase my Dungeon Form to LVL 3] asked Adam, wanting to know how much system points he needed to that before he began spending system points.
{It will cost the host 10,000 points to increase the host's Dungeon Form to LVL 3} answered the system shamelessly.
[That is insane, so expensive] thought Adam to himself.
Everything in the system was becoming incredibly expensive, but at the same time, it was becoming easier to gain system points and gold.
With that in mind, he had to save 10,000 system points in order to upgrade his Dungeon Form, which he knew was crucial to being able to increase his strength quickly when he moved onto Floor 3 of the Mortal Dungeon.
[System transfer 100,000 gold into system points] ordered Adam.
It pained his heart to exchange 1,000,000 dollars worth of gold into system points, but he knew that it was a necessary sacrifice in order to acquire priceless features of the system.
{Ding, the host has transferred 100,000 gold into 10,000 system points} announced the system.
With that announcement, Adam without hesitation bought what he was waiting to buy ever since he had integrated with the system.
[System buy the Inventory Feature] ordered Adam.
{Ding, the host has spent 10,000 system points to purchase the Inventory Feature of the system} announced the system.
[Give me a summary of everything I need to know about the Inventory Feature] ordered Adam, not wanting the system to withhold any information from him like it usually would.
{This is a feature of the system that will allow the host to store items within an inventory, similar to how the host can do so within the dungeon. However, the inventory that the host uses in reality is different to the one that the host uses in the dungeon and the host must use the transferal feature in order to transfer items between the two inventories. But because the host now has an inventory within reality, the price of the transferal feature has been halved} summarised the system.
[Inventory]
Adam thought about inventory with the intention of opening it, and just like in the dungeon, a game-like screen appeared before him.
Experiencing the game-like screen of the system in the dungeon wasn't anything special, but using it in reality, was a completely different experience.
Heading towards the mirror, Adam couldn't see the system's screen in the mirror's reflection, so assumed that nobody other him would be able to see it.
However looking at his inventory, he was disappointed to see that he only had 10 spaces within it.
{The host currently only has 10 storage spaces within the inventory, unlike the 100 spaces that the host has in the dungeon. For every space that the host wants to add, it will cost 10,000 system points} stated the system shamelessly.
[This is extortion] exclaimed Adam who was shocked by the price of increasing his inventory by a single space.
[No wonder such an incredible feature of the system was so cheap. But it is still incredible and 10 spaces is enough] thought Adam to himself.
He still had 14,091 system points left and also had 78,360 gold, but he was satisfied with how much he had spent and didn't want to spend any more than he needed to.
Walking over to his wardrobe, Adam let out a sigh of relief after seeing that the sabre was still tucked under a pile of clothes in the corner of the wardrobe.
He had been busy over the past few days and had forgotten to check, but luckily it seemed untouched and just how he left it.
Holding the sabre in his hands he felt his body have a qualitative increase in strength as he placed the sabre within the inventory in the same way he would do so within the dungeon.
The system worked based on his intention and as long as he was willing and intending for a certain thing, to do with the system, to occur, it would.
Adam could place and withdraw items from the inventory as much as he pleased, as long as he willed for it to occur.
With the sabre in his inventory, he was finally able to check its effects.
C- Rank Angelo's Platinum Sabre
Effects:
+2 in resistance
+3 in strength
+2 in speed
Its effects were great and Adam was pleased with it and before he could move on to spending his stat points, his phone suddenly began ringing.
