Even if they solved the problem at hand, it won't matter in the long term if they don't address the root of the problem. From this point on forward, the adventurer that would dive inside his dungeon would perhaps only get stronger and if he wanted to defend the dungeon, he needed to add new floors.

The maximum number of floors a [D] rank dungeon can have was hundred. His dungeon Laplace on the other hand did not even have half of it. Previously, before the influx of adventurers, he had to worry about his DP expenditure; however, right now he had amassed so much DP that adding ten or even fifteen floors wasn't a problem.

Due to the level of the adventurers diving inside his dungeon increasing all of a sudden, it also brought a storm of DP to his dungeon. Now it was time for him to harvest his reap and put them to use by upgrading his dungeon.

Simon thought over it for a bit before a allotting some DP to his [Helpers] so that they can modify some of the aspects of the floor. Although they did not have as much authority as Guardians or Administrators, with this DP the [Helpers] would be able to at least install those changes that are absolutely necessary for the dungeon.

"Use it however you see fit" Simon ordered the [Helpers] to return to their stations and keep monitoring the floors as usual, especially the team that was clearing the thirty first floor.

After they dispersed themselves Simon and Irene were the only ones left in the huge hall.

"You have changed quite a lot" Irene suddenly said observing him.

Puzzled, Simon turned towards her and asked "What do you mean?".

"What I mean to say is the journey this time had developed you more as a person. You are far more decisive and calm that it also rubs off on to others who look up to you. You have learnt to rely on others more and are starting to act more like a leader now. I think it's a good thing".

Irene explained, her deep eyes staring straight at Simon. She wasn't naïve, she knew for a person to change so drastically so fast, they must have had to go through incredibly hard and risky trials. And given the way how Simon's entire outlook and conduct changed after he returned, she felt like the tribulation he had to go through was very tough on him.

Looking at those deep crystal blue eyes that was masked with concern, Simon felt a feeling that he had long forgotten about. Just when he felt like he wanted to stare at those eyes a little longer, Cecilia and the Valkyries arrived from their tour of the White Palace.

"Big brother… we are back"

"Master"

Cecilia declared her presence while the maid sisters mannerly performed their bows.

Irene hurriedly shifted her eyes, looking a little flabbergasted; Simon on the other had a helpless smile on his face.

"What were you all talking about?" Cecilia asked finding a seat in between them matter of factly.

"Nothing much, I was just about to go see the changes that have occurred to on the main floor while I was gone," Simon said putting his head straight.

"Oh Oh!!… I want to come too" the little Forest Spring Royal Spirit showed her willingness to come with him. What's more, she grabbed Irene's hand and forced her to tag along.

Simon pondered over a bit before deciding that there was no harm to bring them along. He then glanced at the silently standing Valkyries before asking "Do you want to join us too? It will be a good experience for you all to familiarise yourself with the structure of the main floor".

Since he was already taking Cecilia and Irene there was no harm to bring the maid sisters. Plus he felt a little bad to ask them to just stay in the hall while they are gone.

"It will be an honour to see our lord working," Annette said agreeing readily.

"Ahhh~ to witness our master working with our own eyes, I cannot tell you how excited I am" And of course, Bea added sensually, not even trying to hide her second nature.

The group exited the white palace, strolled around the backyard before heading towards the tall crystal trees in the distance.

"I have been meaning to ask this for a while, why are there clouds on the ceiling of the Main Floor? I remember those kinds of features can only be added after the dungeon becomes [B] rank or higher" Simon asked turning his head up and looking at the looming white clouds on the ceiling.

"Hehe, Big brother let me tell you, those aren't clouds but actually the mystical energy. Those clouds that you see up there are actually the condensation of the dense amount of mystical energy that was produced on this floor".

"The mystical energy on the main floor had become so substantial that the mist transformed into clouds thus pouring down as rain onto the land as a part of precipitation and then evaporating to become new clouds, therefore forming a mystical cycle" Cecilia said proudly puffing her chest.

Simon blinked his eyes and looked at Cecilia beside him in amazement. Was she really the easy going, carefree Cecilia that he knew? Who was this knowledgeable person talking beside him?

"Wow princess Cecilia is so amazing she knows so much about the main floor" Alice walking behind them, added. Her eyes seem to be idolising Cecilia.

It seemed that it was not only him that was amazed by Cecilia's sudden outburst of knowledge. Also, at some point it looked like the two had become good friends.

"Hehe, Big Sister Irene also said that these are all signs of the Mystical veins underneath the Main Floor evolving" Cecilia added beamingly.

'As I thought, it was Irene who told her all that' Simon thought internally.

The thing about the mystical veins on this floor evolving really intrigued him. Mystical veins are like a huge invisible river running through the earth that nourishes the life and fills the world with mana. The more concentration of mystical veins a place has, the more rich it is in mystical energy.

One does not even need to explain how important and wondrous a place can be if it is rich in mystical energy. Take the serenity pond for example, after Cecilia altered it with her abilities and connected the mystical veins with it so that all that energy from the earth is deposited in it, the pond started changing drastically.

Not to mention it started producing many extraordinary items like the serenity stone, scarlet mutation crystal and so and so forth.

Simon could tell that the concentration of mystical veins underneath his [Main floor] was so high now that they are starting to undergo some changes and the mystical clouds on the ceiling was just a resulting effect from these change that are happening.

According to the memories he had inherited, these changes should only occur after his dungeon evolves up to become [C] rank or above. But for some reason, it was already happening now.

When the concentration of mystical veins reaches a certain threshold, they evolve to become Heart Veins. Needless to say, the Heart Veins are much more rare and rich in mystical energy than the mystical veins.

If the mystical veins are spread out like small brooks, then the heart veins are like tributaries of a river spread out all across the floor in a vastly complex network. They carry mystical energy that is far more purer than mystical veins.

And currently, the mystical veins on his main floor were on their way to becoming heart veins.

Simon was pleasantly delighted by these changes as he glanced at the innocently smiling Cecilia who was the main perpetrator behind all these alterations taking place on his main floor.

No one, not even the high ranking demon Nobles from the demon society would ever believe that a low rank dungeon that emerged not so long ago, having heart veins on its main floor.

Smiling in contentment, Simon believed that it wouldn't be long before his dungeon evolves up to become a [C] rank.

The group walked around the white palace before moving towards the garden that was maintained by Irene.

"What's all these?!" Simon asked looking at the marvelling scene in front of him. As far as his eyes could see, the garden was filled with varieties of flowers, shrubs, vines and speckles of light arranged in a neat and tasteful way.

That was not all, the things planted in this garden were all incredibly rare herbs and flowers that could only be found in places rich in mystical energy.

"Wow"

"What a lovely view"

"This is breathtaking"

The captivated voices of the Valkyrie sisters sounded out. It seemed that they were smitten by the view of the garden.

"Did Mistress Irene do all of this?" Annette asked looking at the colourful garden all around her.

Irene nodded her and showed the sisters around. Of course, as a member of the Forest Spring Spirits, Cecilia had much more knowledge about the plants and flowers that was growing around here than anyone else. Her description were always detailed and was informative to hear.

Seeing the group of girls getting excited and carried away, Simon could only smile helplessly. It seemed no matter what world, beautiful things always appealed to women.

Simon sat on a bench that was made of vines and leaves while the girls went ahead and had a tour of the garden. Simon wasn't much interested in gardening and stuff; however, from the breathtaking sight around him, he could see the efforts Irene and Cecilia put into planting them.

As he arched his body and lay on the bench, the fragrant wind carrying along a wondrous effect brushed past his body.
