The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 158: "Differentiation"

I returned to the Liebe Great Forest.

Sugaru had gone out with me, so I wondered who I should target with [Summon Summoner]. Ultimately, I decided to jump to Hakuma.

The wolves had been playing in the Liebe Great Forest, but now they had new jobs. It was just right to explain that.

<Welcome home, Boss. How was the grassland?>

"I'm back, Hakuma. I've dominated it without any issues. Also, the town. It's the first time I've dominated a human town, but leaving it to the newly subordinated Albert and company should be fine."

I've already arranged for them to proceed independently. Lord Albert's INT has been raised, and as a support in case of emergencies, the INT of the elderly housekeeper has also been raised. I even raised VIT to withstand the intense work. It's unclear if VIT contributes to fatigue from office work, but I did it just in case.

"So, I'm thinking of giving you guys some new jobs too, Hakuma. Yeah, I want everyone to take on the task together. The wolf cubs should have grown quite a bit, right? It's about time to give them proper work."

Even though they're called wolf cubs, they won't be cubs forever. At some point, the "cub" part should be dropped. According to Hakuma and Ginka, it seems like it's about time, but it's not clear what will happen.

<Great! If that's the case, I'll call them right away!>

With that, he came out of the cave and flew towards the sky. You could just summon them, but it wouldn't take much time to fly through the air. I decided to wait.

Once, two ice wolves and six wolf cubs lived in this cave, but now it feels quite cramped. Probably because everyone has grown a bit.

After explaining the situation to Hakuma, I petted the wolf cubs in turn.

I had an image of them playing around, but now they are sitting there with a clear look on their faces. In spite of their appearance, they already have enough fighting strength to treat goblins as toys.

<So, does that mean the eight of us go to other monster territories and cause a ruckus?>

<You have to go to the location designated by the Boss. Also, you have to identify the leader of the area and its location, and make sure not to let other players defeat that leader.>

<Got it.>

The wolf cubs nodded. Although they're not registered as friends and thus can't use friend chat, they should understand what I'm saying. That must be their appeal.

"By the way, the growth of the wolf cubs, or well, their adulthood? It's coming soon, right? What specifically causes said growth? Time passing? Meals? Accumulated experience points? I haven't given them experience points, so maybe it's meals and time passing? Can't it be facilitated with experience points?"

Most things in this game can be solved with experience.

You might be able to force a monster to grow by giving it a Philosopher's Stone, but I would hesitate to do that to a monster that has not yet reached adulthood. It would be a pity if they were reincarnated in a smaller size or something like that.

<I don't know, but it would be convenient if they could grow while the Boss is around.>

In addition, if they were to go on an expedition, it would be better for them to become adults first. If it can be achieved now, that would be better.

For now, I arbitrarily increased the stats of one wolf cub, Mizore. While tinkering with it gradually, a system message appeared.
