Chapter 237: An Expert Bee-view
After the day’s purification, Belissar considered whether or not to make another DP store purchase. He was just shy of five thousand DP at this point and his DP income had even started to increase further now that the sigmaka had started sending challengers. Ultimately, though, he decided to hold off.
He didn’t feel the need to purchase more monsters, features, or room types at this stage until the bees had finished adjusting to the latest additions. On the other hand, if he waited a bit longer he could start affording some of the more expensive options he had previously discounted. In just a day he could purchase either an extra room slot or additional mana, allowing him to implement even more options. If he waited for his DP to hit ten thousand, he could also purchase a perk choice, which could strengthen his Tower without requiring additional mana from him or effort from his bees.
So, he decided to wait until either a need arose, his bees finished up with all of their current efforts, or he hit enough DP to afford anything in the shop. With no other further business, the day came to a close with the usual small celebration.
Tamosmed arrived at the Tower first thing the next morning. Belissar greeted him and found out he was here for their first exchange. Since he’d be here for a while, Belissar then went to finish his normal morning routine before meeting up again with Tamosmed.
“So, what would you like me to help with first, Belissar?”
Belissar hummed to himself. There was actually quite a bit Tamosmed could help with, now that he thought about it.
“Well, the karnuq have a blacksmith who’s still learning, so he could use your help. The thermal mining bees have been making wax with metal, maybe you could take a look and give them advice on mining? I was also having trouble finding a suitable room for mithril…”
Tamosmed stepped forward and leaned into Belissar’s face.
“I’m sorry, did you say thermal mining bees? Bees that are…mining metals and building hives with it?!”
