Lin Fan was surprised to hear the dungeon core suddenly ask this, but he quickly figured out what it was.
In the time that it took them to get here, the dungeon core had the time to calm down and think through its decisions.
Once it had the time for that, it would realize that what it was doing was not the smartest move.
So naturally it would be cautious when it finally met them in person.
It was just too bad that the dungeon core was facing the worst person possible in terms of this.
Lin Fan was a cunning adult that knew just how to deal with a child like this. It was as easy as a flip of his hand to fool this dungeon core.
Or it could be said that it was as easy as taking candy from a baby. After all, in terms of age, the dungeon core could be considered just a baby?
Lin Fan didn’t move forward, but he also didn’t answer the question.
Instead, he just raised his hand with the same items that he had brought out before. He put them up in front of him and said, “Do you still want these?”
When the objects that it desired were placed in front of it, the dungeon core lost its cool once again. There was a long silence that followed before the dungeon core said, “You’ll give them to me now?”
There was a clear tone of desire that was in the voice of the dungeon core.
Lin Fan shook his head with a faint smile before saying, “Of course.” But then he acted as if he suddenly thought of a problem as he said, “Though it will be a problem since there’s a barrier in the way. Even if I want to give it to you, it’ll block it if I try.”
The dungeon core said without any hesitation, “Alright! I’ll take the barrier down if you’ll give them to me!”
Lin Fan just gave a simple nod with a smile on his face.
However, the dungeon core suddenly realized that something was wrong, so it added, “Wait, don’t come over to me. Throw those things over to me. As long as they are near me, I can absorb them.”
Lin Fan didn’t mind as he said, “Alright, just tell me when the barrier is down.”
In just a few seconds, the dungeon core’s voice said in an anxious tone, “It’s down, now throw it over!”
Lin Fan just calmly tossed the things that were in his hand over to where the dungeon core was.
This was a perfect toss that created a perfect arc in the air towards the dungeon core. The only problem was…the dungeon core didn’t seem to have anything to catch the items flying through the air with.
After all, the dungeon core was just an orb.
But as it came near the dungeon core, the items that were flying through the air suddenly stopped. It was as if there was something invisible that was holding these things up in the air as they just floated there.
Then as if they were being swallowed by something, bits of these things disappeared until they completely disappeared.
In a matter of seconds, these things that Lin Fan tossed were gone.
After they disappeared, the dungeon core suddenly said in a satisfied voice, “Ha, ha, ha, this is it! This is the feeling! I just gained a bunch of points from those things!”
Lin Fan didn’t interrupt the dungeon core as he let it enjoy itself for a bit.
But in the end, Lin Fan still had to say, “Now shall we have a talk?”
As expected, the dungeon core suddenly said, “What are you talking about? We don’t have anything to talk about. In the first place we…”
Before it could finish, its voice suddenly cut off as if it noticed something.
Lin Fan knew that a dungeon core with this kind of personality wouldn’t keep a promise that it made. It was like a child, once it got what it wanted, it would immediately go back on its word.
To the side, the minotaur even revealed an awkward look because of this.
It was as if it was embarrassed that its master was like this.
Still, Lin Fan knew what to do since he had already expected this.
That was why there was something else that had appeared in Lin Fan’s hand during this.
It was also the reason why the dungeon core had suddenly stopped talking.
The thing that Lin Fan took out was another item just like the one that he had given the dungeon core previously, but this one was on a completely different level. The one that he gave before only gave the dungeon core around a hundred DP.
This one…it gave a thousand DP on its own.
For someone with a city that had a dungeon under it, a thousand DP wasn’t anything.
But for this new dungeon core, a thousand DP was like a Christmas present.
Naturally it couldn’t keep its excitement in.
There was a long silence before the dungeon core said, “Right, right, we were going to have a talk. What did you want to talk about?”
Though it said this, it was clear by the distracted tone in the voice of the dungeon core that it only cared about a single thing. It only cared about the thing that Lin Fan was holding in his hands.
Lin Fan didn’t care as he said, “Let me take a closer look at you. I promise that I won’t touch you, I just want to take a closer look.”
The dungeon core didn’t answer right away, but after a moment of silence, it asked, “Just take a look, nothing else?”
It was clearly confused and wondering what Lin Fan wanted, but Lin Fan just simply gave a nod to show that this was it.
After another silence, the dungeon core said, “Alright, you can approach me, but no touching at all, alright?”
Lin Fan once again gave a nod to show that he understood before slowly moving forward.
He made sure to move with deliberate steps so that the dungeon core could see that he was approaching slowly. But the strange thing was that it didn’t seem like he was looking at the dungeon core.
With the way that he was looking above the dungeon core, it was almost as if he was looking at something in the middle of the air.
That was because he was looking at something.
During this whole time, Lin Fan had been looking at the interface for the Dungeon Master System.
He had been waiting to see if it would give him any notifications, but it had remained silent the entire time. He wanted to see if he could link this newly formed dungeon core with the system just like he had done with Rokuko.
But it just never happened.
So now he was hoping that he would be able to do so by getting closer to it.
Once he was right up in front of it, Lin Fan finally revealed a smile.
He had been afraid that he would have to go right up and grab the dungeon core for it to happen, but it seemed that just being this close was enough. The only problem now was…how to convince the dungeon core to go with him.
The notification that had appeared was that the system had detected the dungeon core, but he still wasn’t able to connect to it. That was because he had to convince it to go with him before he could get it to go with him.
There was a percentage and so far, he was still only at 50%.
But to convince this newly formed dungeon core was a piece of cake.
As he stood there in front of the dungeon core without saying a word, the dungeon core finally couldn’t take it anymore and said, “What did you want to talk about?”
Lin Fan was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard this before saying with a smile, “Aren’t you lonely here?”
“Huh?”
The dungeon core was completely caught off guard when Lin Fan suddenly asked this.
The tone of the exclamation that it made seemed like it was very confused, but there was a trace of agreement.
It seemed that it was indeed lonely being in the middle of nowhere like this.
While it was able to summon more monsters, there were few monsters that were like the minotaur that it could summon. So there were few monsters that it was able to interact with properly, which was why it was most likely lonely.
Just like Rokuko had been when she had been formed.
Of course, it was only afterwards that she had admitted this to Lin Fan.
After a long silence, the dungeon core said, “How could I be lonely when I can summon whoever I want?”
Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, “Are you sure about that?”
The dungeon core didn’t know what to say, but Lin Fan could see that the percentage was going up.
So he made another offensive.
“Other than this, I still have other treats that I can give you.”
The dungeon core’s percentage went up once again when it heard this.
It seemed that this dungeon core really was a glutton as the percentage reached 100% and another notification appeared which Lin Fan immediately agreed to.
After he agreed to this notification, he could hear the dungeon core muttering something…
“You’ll take care of me and you’ll give me treats, then that must mean that you’re…”
“Papa!”
