Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 45 Honey Trap

?"Ahh~ what a wonderful day we have today!"

Alex woke up and started stretching.

He got out of bed with a smile on his face.

Today is Saturday and Alex doesn't have to go to school.

Because of that, he plans to open his restaurant in Alter Dimension today and start earning Dungeon Points.

That's the reason for Alex's happy mood.

While eating breakfast, Alex is thinking about what food he should put on the menu.

"Hmm, I wonder what the natives will like…"

"I guess, I can add friend chicken to the menu since it can never go wrong."

"Plus soup, rice, and adding a dessert is also a good idea."

Alex noted down some foods that he thinks the people of Kupido Town will like.

By the time he finished eating, Alex had also completed his prototype restaurant menu.

Next, he will have to go to the market and buy every ingredient needed.

Without wasting time, Alex left his house and headed to the public market.

It's only 8am now but the public market is already bustling with people.

You can hear the vendors yelling here and there, calling for customers.

"Hey, ma'am, try out our shrimp, it's freshly caught just this morning, don't hesitate anymore and buy some!"

"Hello, ma'am and sirs, please take a look at these mangos, they are sweet and tasty."

"Everyone, buy our chicken, buy our chicken, buy our chicken~."

…

With a list on his head, Alex went to a store one after another buying out the necessary ingredients for his menu.

It didn't take long for him to procure everything he needed.

With that done, Alex immediately rode a taxi and went back home.

Once he arrived home, Alex used his thoughts and immediately traveled to the Alter Dimension.

Coincidentally, at the exact time that he went to the Alter Dimension,

In the Raven's Manor, Rolando dialed Alex's phone number with an anxious expression.

He walked back and forth while muttering, "Pick up, pick up, please pick up…"

Ka-chik

[The number you have dialed is in an out of coverage area, please try again later.]

[The number you have dialed…]

Hearing the automatic network operator, Rolando was depressed.

He tried again for a couple more times, only to hear the same thing again and again.

Finally, Rolando gave up and slumped on the sofa.

Covering his face with his hand, he sadly whispered, "What the hell am I supposed to do now…?"

Around him, all of his family are looking at him with the same depressed look.

Seeing the depressive atmosphere, his father, Jonathan, finally decided to speak.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Stop it now…"

"Since you have already given it, let's just let it go."

"It was something we gave him as a reward and taking it back now will just make us look unreliable."

He stood up and walked through the door while saying, "Instead of thinking of ways to get the dragon egg back, we should start thinking of ways to attract him to our family."

After saying that, Jonathan continued walking and left them in the room.

When he heard the words that Jonathan said, Rolando suddenly paused.

The next moment, his eyes started shining brightly.

"That's right!"

"Since we can't take the dragon egg back now, let's just take Alex to become a part of our family."

"That way, not only will we get back the dragon egg, we will also get a new strong player in our family!"

When he said that, the others in the room, mainly his siblings, immediately showed their support.

"I think that's a brilliant idea, brother!"

"Yes! Father's suggestion was really on point!"

Glen and Rosa said respectively.

Suddenly, Kris, who's been silent all this time asked,

"Dad, how do you plan to attract Alex into our family?"

"Based on how I know him, the chance of him going to us just because of benefits is low."

"So, I want to know what you plan to do."

Hearing that question, Rolando suddenly showed a mysterious smile.

He looked at Kris and said, "Good question, my dear daughter."

Walking towards Kris, he looked straight into her eyes and held her shoulders, saying, "The answer to that question is… you!"

"Huh? Me?"

An incredulous look appeared on Kris' face after hearing Rolando's words.

Suddenly, her face changed and she hurriedly waved her hand.

"No, no, no, not a chance, Dad!"

To that, Rolando, as well as Glen and Rosa just smiled.

That day, in order to attract Alex, a honey trap is slowly brewing.

…

Alter Dimension, Lucky Dungeon.

After he arrived in the Lucky Dungeon, Alex directly went to the kitchen.

Placing the ingredients he bought on the countertop, Alex started preparing for today's opening.

By the way, since the lighting in this world still uses candles, lamps, or torches, Alex already bought some lightbulbs earlier in the market.

Yesterday, when he reconstructed the building, Alex had already made spots where the lightbulbs could be installed.

As you may have already guessed, there's no electricity here and so, magic will be the energy that will make the lights work.

Thus, Alex went ahead and installed the lightbulbs in preparation for the opening.

The first floor, second floor, third floor, and even outside, Alex placed lightbulb everywhere.

When he finished, just in time, a knock sounded from the door.

Tock! Tock! Tock!

Alex looked in the direction of the door and said, "Hmm? Is it Don and his minions?"

Alex used [Dungeon Monitor] to see who's knocking outside.

When he saw the person outside the door, Alex subconsciously frowned.

"What's a guard doing here?"

Behind the door, a man wearing a uniform of a civil guard was standing.

Beside him is a middle-aged woman who's a bit chubby with an unsightly face.

While he was looking at them through the monitor, the civil guard knocked again and loudly said, "Is there anyone there? Please open the door!"

Alex thought about it for a bit before closing the [Dungeon Monitor].

He slowly made his way to the entrance and opened the door.

Then with an indifferent face, he asked, "What's the problem?"
