Chapter 1759: Recovering functionality
Once all his conversations concluded, Lex returned to the volcano, resuming his work. There were a bunch of things he could focus on, but he wanted to focus all his concentration on getting rid of the Go board. Even with him focusing on it, it wasn’t as if it would be concluded quickly, so Lex really wanted to expedite it as much as possible.
At the same time, his thoughts couldn’t help but wander a little as well. Although Lex still felt like a twenty-five-year-old, it had been a long time since he started the Inn. Many decades, in fact. As a twenty-five-year-old, Lex did not want to consider the specifics of how many decades it had been but… honestly, if he were a mortal, and he hadn’t died of a brain tumor, he would probably be a dad by now. It wasn’t even uncommon for mortals to be grandparents around his age.
The thought did not fill him with melancholy. Instead, Lex took this time to feel grateful. One reason he kept insisting on his young age was because both physically and mentally, he did not feel old, nor was he weary of life. Instead, he was enjoying the hell out of it, and was looking forward to a lot more of it.
He couldn’t wait to see how the Inn developed in another twenty-five years, and then a hundred, and a thousand. Of course, this was considering years within the Midnight Realm – not some other external realm where time flowed faster.
If things kept going the way they were, then he would continue to grow stronger, and the Inn’s overall security would be greater and greater. As such, hopefully, things would be more stable as well.
Lex also wanted to cool off on all his expeditions and spend more time at the Inn, but first he had a bunch of stuff to do.
It was a peaceful morning when Lex took a break from making the formation, and waited just a couple of seconds. The 99 hours were completed, Lex heard the notification sound he had been waiting for.
New Notification: Absorption of the Phantasm Core is complete. System functionality has reached 51%!
New Notification: The remnant energy from the Core has been transformed into MT. 1,000,000 MT has been deposited into the Innkeeper’s account.
New Notification: The Midnight Inn System has recovered enough functionality to exit its suppressed operational state. All existing system services will undergo a refinement process and may become functionally different to their existing state.
New Notification: Basic functionality restored to minimum levels to initiate active system repair.
