[Dungeon] Chapter 70 – Setting Gacha

Meanwhile, Cain was watching everything that had happened in Floor 2-2 through the screen.

"Phew, I managed to avoid a crisis." Cain wiped his sweat from his face. He didn't expect the Sage to try to use his Summoning Jutsu.

Fortunately, the System blocked it, preventing anything unnecessary from happening. He fortunately had something in case of something like that.

When creating a dungeon, he didn't want a large creature to pop up and destroy the environment unintentionally.

Of course, if he wanted to create a giant dungeon in the future, he could do so. He only needed to deactivate the size rule and create an environment suitable for the summoned beings.

But that wasn't his plan. For now, at least. His plan was to create a challenging dungeon, not an unmanageable one.

"Still, they will come back with a better plan. However, where are the other people?! As expected, there is no one interested in a Rare Weapon without knowing what it is, right?"

Posting the lightsaber's image and description to the world, or at least to the Ninja World would attract more people.

However, it would also be the same with the Gacha System.

"I should make a decision." He mused as he stared at the blinking message window.

The Coins he got from the Ninja and the Devils had arrived. He got more than 9,000 from Frustration alone, netting him more than 12,000 Coins in one run.

It wasn't bad, and it wasn't too little. He had already reached the goal he had set in the first place, to earn more than 10,000 Coins. With this much money, he could make many items.

While waiting for his Coins to accumulate and the challengers to finish the dungeon, he actually wrote some ideas in a notebook. Many items, with their descriptions and their cost.

Not all of them would appear in his dungeon, and some would probably be thrown in the gacha.

With 26,000 Coins in his hand, Cain opened his system window and grinned wickedly, excited about plunging all his challengers into hell. He would also buy some dungeon entrances again and open his dungeon to the public.

Nothing stopped him now. Screw the danger.

It was time for him to take action.

"Let me see..."

Cain scrolled down the screen of the System Window, reading through the long list of items available for purchase. He wanted to make some adjustments to the dungeon. Some things needed to change.

He spent 5,000 Coins to buy 2 extra entrances, which meant he now had 3. Then, using the remaining 21,000, he decided to create items for gacha.

"Assistant, is the gacha system ready?" He asked his assistant.

[The system's backbone is ready. You can adjust the probability and the reward for the challengers to get the reward they desire.]

"Good. Then, how much do you think it should cost for a single spin?" He asked. He wanted to set a fair price for the people who would be spending their money on this system. After all, if they were spending real money on it, it was only fair for them to get something in return.

Dungeon Coin would be a really valuable thing if they have access to the gacha. Not only that, but they also could buy any item from his menu list, even the rare ones.

It was like a free market. He would be able to buy and sell things, even if they weren't from the same country.

"Is one gacha spin 1,000 Coins too expensive?" He asked the system, wondering about its opinion.

[Have you gone crazy, Master? No one has 1,000 Dungeon Coins yet. Rias Gremory and her group got less than 100 and the Ninja only got a little more.]

He grinned and rubbed his chin. "Hmm, I think 10 Dungeon Coins each draw would be more reasonable." Then, he added, "Let's set it at 10 Dungeon Coins for now. I don't want to scare people away by making it too expensive. We can lower or raise it later, once people start coming to my dungeon regularly."

[That's a good idea.] The System praised him.

Cain grinned and opened the gacha window, setting the Coins needed to spin the gacha and the rewards for the first time.

"Assistant, can we set that the challengers use the Dungeon Chat to store Coins? Put it in their balance, and then when they put the Coins inside, we can reuse those Coins for the item drop. That way I can limit the total Coins circulating outside the dungeon."

Cain thought about the idea and decided it would work well. He could save his Coins and recycled the Dungeon Coins in the Dungeon. Limiting the DC's supply, and keep it from inflating or deflating too quickly.

He also could use the Coins for anything, be it buying new equipment from the System's menu or something else entirely.

"Assistant, how does that sound? Doable?" He asked.

[It's possible. The inventory function can be unlocked with 1,000 Coins. The Chat can only put Dungeon Coin as Balance and not other items.]

"I need to pay for that?!"

'Capitalist! Capitalism! How could you do this to me?'

Cain was fuming in rage. Then, he sighed in defeat as he realized he couldn't change anything related to the system.

"Can I buy that function now?"

He asked the system, hoping that it would allow him to do that. He really needed that inventory function.

System replied with an affirmative answer, allowing him to purchase the function. That allowed him to continue with his plans without worrying too much.

'Well, at least it's not a scam or anything.' He thought, nodding to assure himself. Then he slammed his throne’s armrest hard. 'No, it's still a scam!'

He bought the Dungeon Coin inventory function for 1,000 Coins and decided to move on. He didn't want to think about the scam anymore.

He had spent 1,000 Coins on the inventory, so he still had 20,000 left.

For junk items for the lowest reward, he could always buy it from the Shop. Something like a bed or stuff worth less than 50 Coins.

However, he didn't want to put all the items in all rewards, it would look bad. No one would try the Gacha System at all if the reward was something like that.

'Let's put the Fire Sword I created before as one of the rewards. Let's see, 5% probability of appearing. And then I will create an Epic item for the top reward for now.'

That would make the gacha look appealing.

What kind of Epic item should he create? The answer was pretty simple.

"An accessory."

Everyone should be able to wear an accessory regardless of gender or specialty. The effect had to be simple, nothing too fancy or flashy, but something useful. After all, the most important thing about accessories was how useful it was in battle, not its appearance or its rarity.

"A ring with an effect to be able to block one attack. The activation method: The owner must say a password and the ring would automatically block the next incoming attack, regardless of what kind of attack. That's it, that should work. I can set it so it would need some recharge period to be able to be used again, so it's not too overpowered."

Giving a limitation to the item would allow him to create the item cheaper. He learned it when creating the Lightsaber, limiting its activation with a touch of a button. It actually cut 500 Coins from the initial cost, so it was a useful technique to use.

"Even so, it still cost me 3,000 Coins, huh?"

Still, he created the Ring with a 0.1% chance of being drawn.

"Hehehe, those who draw this will become the king of the world! Let's add that flavor text for fun."

The Ultra Rare and Rare reward had been chosen. Now he just had to fill the Uncommon with some weapons and armor, then the Commons with Rags and such.

He created a list of weapons and armors, from Swords to even spears.

And then he added one silver lining for the challengers. Pull 10x got a 10% discount!

What a kind dungeon maker he was. If he was hired as a game developer, the players must've praised him to no end!

'Hehehehe...'

Also, the gacha was only allowed inside the Hub so they could exchange the reward immediately to the Smart Goblin. He set the Dungeon Assistant to help with this matter. The System would help them to exchange the item, and then give it to them immediately after they showed the gacha result. It would be easier that way, instead of setting a 5,000 item transfer function.

Definitely not because Cain was stingy. It's not that.

"Let's try the Gacha System."
