Exploring The Castle
After giving each puppet a name Zoom took the time to look at the items, title and skills he had just obtained.
['Puppet King': With this title the strength of your puppets are 50% higher.]
It didn't look to impressive so Zoom went to his items.

These were the equipment that Zoom had decided to use.
Though the puppet king didn't have the strongest gear since the puppet king mostly relied on his puppets to fight and almost ignored himself.
Zoom then took a look at the skills he obtained.
[Puppetry Making: Using a living gem stone you combine them with mana to create a puppet, the overall strength of a puppet depends on the quality of the living gem stone and the amount of mana used.
No Couldown.]
[Summon Puppets: Summon puppets which are already created by you or are owned by you to a location where you wish for them to be summoned. Cost Of Mana Varies Between Puppets.
No Cooldown.]
[Puppet Connection: You are connected with your puppets giving you the ability to harness and use 99% of their mana supply for your own use, you are also able to see through their memories and both your memories and their memories are connected giving you the ability to learn what they have learned. Skills are not connected.]
Every skill was frightening but out of all three the third one was the most powerful one yet.
"If I have a million puppets doesn't that mean I can have a almost never ending supply of mana?" With this thought in mind Zoom wanted to find out what this living gem stone was and start creating more puppets.
"That can wait, firstly I'll look at the castle and see what I can do." Zoom glanced at the big puppet which he named Rey.
"Alright Rey give me a tour around this place."
Rey obliged and lead the way, they passed through the large double doors and Zoom could see that the castle was still looking mostly abandoned but the chaos that Zoom's battle caused were gone.
The doors that were closed and couldn't be accessed by Zoom before were now unlocked.
After entering a room Rey began to explain.
"This room is the library, most of the books are about history while skill books here are scarce, our former master never concerned himself with learning more skills since he was much more focused on creating puppets."
After going through the library for a bit Zoom told Rey to lead him to another room, they went on to explore a few more rooms including the treasury which was unfortunately empty before they reached a room that Zoom was interested in.
"This room is furnace room where we create pills and potions, the furnaces here are top-notch with a thirty percent success rate additional, while they couldn't be compared to the furnaces the top pill and potion crafter's have, these are still furnaces that cannot be easily obtained even by multi-millionaires." Rey said.
"Rey can you and the other four concoct pill?" Zoom was genuinely curious, if they could concoct pills then Zoom can make a huge amount of money with ease.
"Yes but unfortunately I'm only a beginner pill crafter while the other four are absolutely knew to the concept."
"That's alright, Rey I'll make you my right hand... puppet, I want you to manage the castle and clean the place, after cleaning the place I want you to buy herbs in the cities nearby and make pills together with the other four, after creating the pills I want you to sell them to a friend I know and after that you keep on repeating the process and make more money, fifty percent of the money you guys make should be placed in the treasury." Zoom gave 50,000 UC and more instructions to Rey before he moved on with the tour.
"The last room is the puppet creation room, in the middle is a machine they makes creating puppets easier and smoother."
"What's a living gem stone Rey."
"A living gem stone is a type of gem stone used to create puppets, their unique feature is their ability to move, they're perfectly spherical, unfortunately the are very, very rare and they are being fought for by nations and billionaires, every powerhouse yearns for them, those gems cannot be found in this planet."
The last sentence stung Zoom but calmed down before turning around to leave the room, Rey quickly followed before Zoom said.
"Alright I'll be leaving now, I want you to do the instructions I gave you earlier."
"Yes master."
After this Zoom looked at his status screen which now looked like this.
