"You know, you asking me that question makes me wonder if you know how my research is connected with the dungeon relocation experiment," Jill argued, hearing the boy question her intentions with her research down here.

Jill did not deny that was moonlighting a little bit by starting an illegal phantom sword wood plantation in an underground S-rank dungeon but in her defense, anybody in her place would do the same. However, this should not be used to undermine how her research down here implicated the entire world.

The fact that the boy said such a thing could either mean he had no idea how her research was connected to dungeon relocation or he was jealous seeing how fat her wallet was growing. So she questioned the boy's motive for undermining her research's world implication.

"Artificial Soul energy vein, that is how your research is connected to the dungeon relocation research. Now you tell me how your research down here is more about the good of the world and less about filling your pockets?" I knew Jill's research was connected with the dungeon relocation research through the artificial soul energy vein created by it, that was why I question if Jill's research was as big of a deal as she claimed it to be.

Since Jill was able to invent a device that could help card apprentice see the soul energy vein in a determined location, the top ten universities believed that with enough funding and support Jill would be able to achieve what she promised about her research being able to predict the location of dungeon formation before it starts to materialize in the world.

However, the invention that helped Jill gain the funding and support required for her research had also become the bottleneck in her research.

The device Jill invented helps card apprentices to see the soul energy vein in a.n.a.log form in their grimoire, not actually see the soul energy vein in its glory. The device also needed to be arranged to a predetermined location to show the soul energy vein in that area.

The display of the soul energy vein in a.n.a.log form was not a problem, Jill and the top ten universities were satisfied with it but the problem was the range of the device that made it impossible for a card apprentice to use this device to its full potential by implementing it in the real world. ??ee?e??ov?l*???

What Jill needed to do was to increase the range of the device, this way even when stationary the device could cover a large area, this way if a soul energy vein were to start forming in the area of effect of the device, the card apprentices can see that there was a soul energy vein forming in the location, follow it, and trace where it was ending, allowing the card apprentice to predict the location of dungeon even before the dungeon formation starts to materialize in the world. This was how the device invented by Jill was supposed to work but it was limited by its range.

The card apprentices needed to place Jill's device within 10 meters of where the soul energy vein was to see it in a.n.a.log form in their grimoire. With 10 meters range, thousands of Jill's devices would be required just to cover the area of a third-rate city. Considering that the cost of production of the device was not cheap, it was impossible to put Jill's device into practical use.

This limitation of Jill's device had turned it from a world-changing invention into an experiment to show that the soul energy veins existed, they started from within the world's will and ended in the world.

Yes, Jill's invention had brought the long debate that the world's will was the origin of the soul energy vein and ended in the world to the conclusion that it was true. She and her invention had made a wonderful contribution to the field of dungeon research but it could not grow into something more than that, an invention that could change the world as we know it.

To achieve that Jill needed to increase the range of the device she invented. Which was why the MorningStar university was funding her research. But Jill never made a step further from where she started despite all the funding and support from the MorningStar university.

Decades have pa.s.sed since then and all she managed to do was reduce the size of her big-a.s.s device to a portable one and added a few extra features like determining the width of the soul energy vein and using it to determine the rank of the dungeon core it would form.

The Ord Jill had summoned earlier was the result of her decades of effort in improving the device she invented. She was able to make it portable and add new features to it but not increase its area of effect. Jill was not satisfied with her progress but this was enough for her to ensure the funding from MorningStar university kept coming.

But just when Jill's hope was dwindling she stumbled upon a breakthrough and it was thanks to her newly developed portable version of her device. If not for that, like the hundreds of brilliant minds that partic.i.p.ated in the dungeon relocation research, she too would have missed how the pure and concentrated soul energy imputed to the dungeon relocation apparatus was forming an artificial soul energy vein with an abnormally small width.

Hundreds of brilliant minds were in the research and not one noticed that most of the soul energy they were feeding the dungeon relocation apparatus was being lost in the formation of an artificial soul energy vein.

When Jill made this discovery accidentally she had two choices, one to share and explore her accidental discovery with everyone. And risk sharing or losing the credit. The other was she could not share her discovery with everyone and explore it herself, write a paper on what she discovered, and then share it with everyone allowing her to keep the entire credit to herself.
