The Dragon Soul Forging

98. Back to work

The atmosphere of the evacuation post still feels so thick in the restaurant.

Many people go by with a makeshift appearance, t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops. They seemed to not care if the place was actually a fancy restaurant.

Budi's presence captured quite a lot of attention, a sharp and cynical look directed at him, an uncomfortable whisper the young man could hear clearly.

It seemed like it was related to his actions that drove away the visitors of his shop just a moment ago.

“Cuih, look how arrogant he is.”

“Only because getting support from the women has made it big head.”

“Shameful basis!.”

Budi ignored all the bad words of netizens to him, 'Yes also serve them what's in it for me?' thought Budi.

The restaurant notice board was filled with missing person search flyers. Seeing that made Budi think to burn all the leaflets because there was no place left.

Luckily Yuki had prepared another notice board that was specific to the job request.

“What work does he put on the notice board?.”

“Hahaha, anything looking for herbs.”

“Isn't the pay good enough?.”

“Hunting monsters is much more profitable.”

“But not everyone dares to face off against monsters.”

The material collection work that Budi put up could be done by anyone no matter Hunter or ordinary residents.

He hopes the job can help those who have trouble making money. But it seems that Budi's good intentions are misinterpreted by haters.

They think Budi is desperate because of the lack of weapons and potions production materials.

Actually Budi also provides the same request since he first opened his shop.

The business went well initially, but the last few days of Hunters willing to look for herbs were getting fewer and fewer, they preferred hunting monsters to level up.

Prestigious also contributed to the decline of Hunter herb seekers, because there is an assumption in the community if looking for herbs only done by weak people, while strong people should go to defeat monsters.

“It seems they live too comfortably so it is more concerned with prestige than their own safety.”

Potions were one of the must-have items for a Hunter intending to enter the Dungeon. A miracle cure that can heal wounds and poisons in a short time.

I don't know how many people have been saved by the potions, and all that is still not enough to make the public aware about the importance of herbs as raw materials to make potions.

“Either they are being fooled or indeed basically have been stupid from the beginning.”

Budi expressed his frustration at the stupidity of the Hunters.

After his business at the restaurant was sorted out, Budi immediately called Pushrank to take him to the forbidden area.

There are two things that Budi saw when approaching the forbidden area.

The first was an unusual thin fog visible faintly in the air.

After careful attention, Budi realized that the thin fog that can only be seen with the eyes of a dragon turned out to be the rest of the Mana emission from lightning magic.

“It looks like Goliath faced something last night.”

Budi thought that last night there was someone trying to infiltrate the forbidden area.

Then the second one was Liliana already waiting for him in front of the gate.

Budi did not know the purpose of Liliana waiting for her arrival, because if that duel both of them had agreed to do that after Budi's work was completed.

“Didn't you come too late. I almost barged in because you didn't come.”

Seeing Liliana on her waist makes Budi realize that the blonde-haired girl is upset.

“You will regret if you do that.” Returned the words of Liliana.

Liliana knows exactly what you're talking about. He watched for himself as several members of the military tried to infiltrate, but all ended in lightning strikes.

The girl also said her goal was to meet Budi.

“The Daki Genk side prepares to pay post-war demands.” he said.

It made Budi surprised, it was only two days since the war happened. But Genk The Daki is already preparing to compensate.

“Isn't this too fast?.”

Think they might take a month to start paying the bills.

Budi nodded his head when he heard Liliana's explanation.

To reduce the risk of rebellion of residents of Jati city, Genk The Daki also reduced the number of citizens by giving it to the city of Sawi as ‘Payment’ demands post-war.

Budi was amazed by the breadth of Liliana's knowledge, earning such praise Liliana only humbled.

He said that all the information he had was obtained from the captives who were in the basement of his house.

With all the knowledge she had, Liliana was ready to venture into the underworld. He wants to master the black market business of Sawi City before competitors start arriving.

“They will send 3,000 manpower as you requested. Actually they intend to give more in exchange for the Monster Stone, but I refused because only you have the right to decide.”

Liliana said all of that lightly as if discussing a small trade.

Despite the fact that this conversation concerns the lives of thousands of people.

“They didn't give away the monster stones that should have been paid?.”

Budi asked about the five million blue monster stones that were included in the indemnity deal.

“Nothing, Looks like they are also in need of magic stones.”

The current monster stone was extremely precious. Aside from being a substitute for currency, magic stones could also be used as an alternative source of energy.

It made the value of the monster stone continue to rise due to the large amount of demand.

After saying that Liliana left the forbidden area, she would not disturb Budi who was going to work.

Liliana hopes the power plant will soon so as it will be very profitable for the city and its companies.

He said he would like to discuss with Yuki about handling the upcoming 3,000 ‘Budak’.

Circumstances would inevitably become chaotic if such a large number of refugees were dealt with without preparation.

After Liliana's departure, Budi entered the forbidden area.

“Omega now you can reactivate.”

[Oh, good afternoon Master!]

Artificial intelligence that was previously deactivated during Budi's relationship with Yuniar, was finally reactivated.

“Omega, can you take control of Goliath?.”

Budi pointed at Goliath who was still in guard mode.

[Sure]

Goliath who was previously silent is now moving even though Budi did not give him orders.

The light beam from the giant robot's matan changed from red to blue, indicating that someone was controlling it manually.

[Master report, the takeover of control of the Goliath Prototype 3 robot has been successfully carried out]

Omega's voice rang out loud from Goliath, he even saluted Budi like a soldier reporting to his superiors.

The glory took out ten newly created Goliath robots last night in a box of goods.

“Good, it's time to start working.”

[[Generic!]

Eleven Goliath robots shouted in unison.they were all controlled by one intelligence.

seeing that Budi is somewhat afraid of Omega as if it can do anything on a computer system.

'I can only hope that he doesn't turn as hostile towards the general human as the robots in the western movies.'

Restarting the construction.

The first thing Budi did was create a floor that covered the top of the power plant to provide the room where the plant would be made.

So when the power plant is at the bottom of the hole, right on the top floor there is a factory that will be used to produce various things, especially the production of toys and robots.

But even though it was filled with two floors, the hole was still hundreds of meters left. There are still many rooms left to be made as other floors.

Think about what all the floors will be used for.
