Dungeon Designer: Bringing Smiles to the World!

Chapter 73 The Hardships of Raising a Child

As soon as Corax entered the tunnel, the underground city gate behind him slammed shut.

At the same time, Roger's voice rang in her ears.

"From now on, this will be your new prison... cough cough, your new home."

When faced with the second resident of the dungeon after himself, Rogge, as the lord of the dungeon, naturally had to personally show him around the "scenery" of the dungeon.

"Splash..."

As Roger clapped his hands gently, the originally dark tunnel instantly became bright.

This was a hidden feature he designed, after all, he couldn't work in the dark when he was conducting on-site inspections and modifying the dungeon, could he?

"Come with me."

As soon as Roger turned around, Corax tilted his head and pounced on him.

「!?」

Fortunately, Roger was prepared and dodged the sudden attack with a quick movement.

Rogge looked at the dark elf half-girl with a question mark in his eyes, waiting for her explanation.

But Corax simply blinked.

"Damn it, I forgot this guy never received a proper compulsory education; he's probably still a child at heart..."

Roger covered his face. If this got out, his lifelong reputation would be ruined.

By the way, the underground city of Shanghai just passed the Law on the Protection of Minors last year. Could I be the first underground city lord to be imprisoned for this?

"Ahem." To avoid going astray, Roger said to Corax with a serious expression, "Since you've chosen to come here with me, you must abide by the rules of this dungeon."

Corax tilted his head again, looking puzzled.

"I'll compile the specific details into a manual later, but first, stop trying to pounce on me." As he said this, Roger pushed away Corax, who was trying to get closer.

"It smells good." Corax twitched his nose.

Roger didn't know why she would say that, since he hadn't even worn perfume.

But when Roger saw that Corax's eyes were fixed on the Lord's Bracelet on his left wrist, he realized that the girl was attracted by the negative emotional energy in the bracelet.

Good news, the other person isn't after her body.

Bad news: the girl is craving the energy she's worked so hard to save up!

"I've never heard of negative emotional energy having such a strong attraction to dark elves?" While pondering this, Rogge conjured two white wolves to serve as his mounts.

After several expansions, the area of ​​the Dorne Dungeon has grown considerably. Rogue is a lazy person who would rather lie down than sit, sit than stand, and rest than work, so a mount is naturally a must.

After ruling out Miyazaki Hidetaka's favorite whimsical "little creatures" such as the big-finger beetle, the rune bear, the water-spraying lobster, and the swamp crab, Roger ultimately chose the wolf over the horse, as it looked more imposing.

Well... although riding a wolf is definitely not as comfortable as riding a horse.

Sure enough, after acquiring a wolf mount entirely made of negative emotional energy, Corax stopped bothering Rogue and instead lay on the white wolf's back, sniffing around.

Watching this scene, Roger couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Honestly, this is really like a cat that can't resist catnip."

"Holy shit! Ice!"

But no matter what, Roger didn't forget his plan.

His decision to take in Corax wasn't entirely out of pure kindness, nor was it because of Corax's gender.

Rogge had been looking to groom an assistant, but Corax's arrival just happened at the right time.

On the way to the secret living quarters at the deepest part of the dungeon, Rogue interrogated Corax with a soul-searching question.

"Little Ke, do you know what the purpose of the dungeons is?"

After tilting his head and thinking for a while, Corax gave his answer.

"have no idea."

Children don't understand, but they are very honest.

Clearly, this question is still too profound for Corax at the moment.

"You have to find the answer to this question yourself," Roger said with a smile. "This is also your most important task from now on."

"Task……"

Corax muttered the word under his breath, his eyes gradually hardening.

In the past, the Dark Elf Order trained her by assigning her tasks that she had to complete.

Right now, Roger's last sentence has clearly touched a nerve with her.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

Roger suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, but he quickly put it out of his mind. Surely no evil god was targeting an honest man like him?

As the two were slowly exchanging words, the two white wolves had already carried them over a series of dangerous traps and through hordes of ferocious monsters, arriving at the deepest part of the dungeon, in the daily living area that Rogue had just expanded.

After dismounting, Roger scooped two bowls of dog food from a bag in the corner and gave them to the second wolf.

The two ferocious-looking giant wolves, capable of killing a fragile mage with a single swipe of their paws, were enjoying their meal immensely.

"I'll take you to your room."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Roger turned his head and saw a scene that would make his jaw drop.

There, Corax was baring its teeth at two wolves, fighting over the dog food in the bowl!

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Roger slapped the two white wolves and Corax on the head three times.

"Awooo..."

Faced with the attack from its creator, Erlang could only whimper pitifully, then slunk away to the side with its dog bowl in its mouth.

As for Corax, who was also slapped, he covered his head and looked at Roger in confusion.

"Sigh...it doesn't feel like I'm training an assistant, it feels more like I'm raising a child..."

With a sigh, Rogge felt that his most pressing task right now was not to renovate and optimize the dungeon's structure.

Instead, they should first find a way to get Corax to complete three years of compulsory education.

At the very least, she needs to get rid of all the bad habits she learned from the Dark Elf Order and become more like a normal person.

After expressionlessly stuffing a handful of beef jerky into Corax's mouth, Roger cast Iron Will on himself and then dragged Corax into the bathroom until the bloodstains on her body were completely washed away.

While using [Dancing Wind] to dry Corax's hair, Roger muttered to himself, "I need to get a babysitter. I don't want to keep taking care of a kid all the time. Looks like I'll have to bother Horak again."

The "Patch" created by Rogge and Horak is a very successful example.

Up until now, Patch has already tricked, cough cough, helped quite a few adventurers in Horak's [Taifa Dungeon].

It wouldn't be too difficult to find a nanny to take care of Corax's daily life.

Moreover, Rogge already has a suitable candidate in mind.
