Chapter 347 What is your dungeon planning?
Let’s go back in time for a moment.
At first, when the meteor shower passed through the sky, Gong Qiying did not take it seriously and thought it was just an ordinary natural spectacle.
When he learned that the meteor shower would last for several days, he could only sigh at how wonderful the magical world was.
Later, when he learned that this once-in-a-century meteor shower happened to coincide with a festival outside, he began to wonder whether his own Sen dungeon should undergo some changes to enhance the festive atmosphere.
For example, limited-time events on the hour.
But after thinking about it, he felt that the limited-time event might be a bit too "trendy" for the people in this world, and was worried that people would not be able to accept it, so he had to give up.
But unexpectedly, on the very night he decided to give up, he received a letter from the Red Fang Underground City.
Gong Qiying still remembers the last time several dungeons joined forces to strangle the sealed objects. The lord of the Chiya dungeon, "Chiya", also gave people a good feeling, like an old man who cared for the younger generation.
"Is there another sealed object that has escaped? Or do they want me to preach to other dungeons?"
After opening the letter, he realized that what he had come up with had nothing to do with what Chiya had proposed.
【To all the dungeons that have established a connection with me】
[A meteor shower that happens only once in a century has descended on the earth. As usual, the dungeon will undergo corresponding short-term changes when special events occur in the outside world. This time, we specially invite everyone to participate. Please reply to me if you are interested.]
[It's said to be a custom, but in fact, it has been more than two hundred years since the city lord implemented it. When I first became the city lord, there were people organizing activities. Taking advantage of this meteor shower, I want to reminisce about my childhood. If everyone is willing to join in the fun, I have a thank-you gift here.]
Wow, it’s actually a “mass email”. How extensive is Chiya’s network of contacts?
However, what surprised Gong Qiying the most was that he didn't expect that this world actually had a concept similar to "limited-time events". This was really unexpected.
He turned around and searched the knowledge crystal for a long time but couldn't find any relevant records. It seemed that Kidd, the lord of the Val Dungeon, had not recorded any relevant information.
How could Gong Qiying, who always likes lively activities, not participate in such activities?
He replied to Chiya immediately, and not long after, Chiya sent him an invitation for a meeting.
The meeting place was still Chiya's residence filled with gold, which was full of stereotypes about the dragon clan. As the city lord's room, this one was many times larger than Gong Qiying's, which was probably related to the other's size.
When Gong Qiying arrived, he found that there were already many strange-looking city lords here. The huge Chi Ya in the front was carefully holding a thin pen and writing quickly. After writing a letter, he sent it out and then wrote another one.
Awesome! It turns out you wrote the group email stroke by stroke by hand!
Before Gong Qiying could get close to greet the owner of this place, a radiant fellow ran over and bumped into him, saying excitedly: "Godwin! We meet again!"
It turned out to be Rainbow Horn, the lord of the Unicorn Dungeon famous for its "marriage check-up". The unicorn is obviously an elegant creature, but when he controls it, it makes it look very "silly". The rainbow-colored horn on its head flashed in circles like a neon light.
This made Gong Qiying imagine it as a rotating lamp post like the one that would be erected in front of a barber shop.
"It's been a long time since we last met. It seems you're doing well." Gong Qiying nodded. In fact, the two of them still exchanged letters, so it wasn't like they hadn't communicated for too long.
Rainbow Horn's joy made the city lords present turn their heads to look at Gong Qiying, and whispers followed.
"Is that him? The design genius that Nian Nian Mu talks about every day?"
Slimy Slim was the name of the original Slime City Lord.
"Seeing is believing. He is truly a man of talent. Who wants to ask for advice? Let's form a team."
"Count me in. I finally managed to pry some of Godwin's knowledge out of that guy, Nian Nian Mu. But after I did it, a lot of adventurers ran away. I was so depressed."
Gong Qiying naturally heard everything, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, he was happy.
Rainbow Horn chatted with him for a while, then said, "I thought about the design methods you taught me before and I think they are not suitable for me, because no one who comes to my place is here for adventure. So I'm sorry that you wasted your time to help me design a dungeon, but in the end I didn't use it."
Gong Qiying shook his head. "I was just saying it casually. It's a good thing to have your own ideas. The best ones are the ones that suit you."
"Yeah, by the way, although I didn't use it, many city lords have been imitating it recently." Rainbow Horn came over quietly and whispered:
"Every day people write to me for advice, and they all want to know what you said to us that time. Hehe, they are very happy when I just say a few words."
I think they are just being polite to you.
Gong Qiying smiled. The dungeon design methods he mentioned were indeed unique, but he did not think they were so profound that the city lords could not understand them. The city lords just lacked an opportunity to change. With a little guidance, they would become more shady on their own, and the tricks they came up with might be even more harmful than Sean's.
Ultimately, Sion's advantage has never been how great it is, but that the rewards it offers are good enough, good enough to make people forget the pain.
"However, a city lord said that after copying the experience of Sean, fewer people came in, and adventurers complained that it was too difficult."
Rainbow Horn grinned and said, "I don't feel anything. Instead, more people come to my place. Couples are lining up."
This time it was Gong Qiying's turn to wonder, "Why?"
"Because adventurers can't make it, they go back to their hometowns to get married and farm. Before getting married, they definitely want to test their partner's loyalty, so they all come to me."
“.”
The transformation of the underground city into the underworld actually benefits the marriage rate, which Gong Qiying never expected.
However, how widely did the "Sion Experience" spread when he was not paying attention?
"Why has no city lord ever come to ask me directly?" He wondered why they all went directly to Rainbow Horn.
"Because everyone thinks that masters don't like to talk to people, so they don't dare."
Well, it's reasonable, Gong Qiying really hasn't read the letter for a long time, he has been busy managing the dungeon.
"I'll go say hello to the boss here." Gong Qiying waved goodbye to Rainbow Horn and walked in front of Chiya.
The other party was obviously a dragon, but he was still holding a pen with his sharp claws and writing a letter, with a special kind of persistence in his eyes.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Chiya. You haven't finished writing the letter yet? Do you want to use magic?"
"I'm just recalling my habit when I was a human being," Chiya noticed him and smiled kindly, "and writing a letter by hand is more sincere, isn't it? I have always insisted on doing so."
Gong Qiying couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he thought about how he used writing magic to write replies to other people.
"Just sit there for a while. Wait a little longer, and then we'll start when no one else comes."
Chiya waved his hand and melted the gold coins on the ground into a chair. Gong Qiying didn't hesitate and sat down next to him to chat with Chiya.
This scene was seen by other city lords, and it increased his reputation, because not everyone could sit with Chi Ya as if nothing had happened, and most people could not withstand the dragon's might on him.
After a while, Chiya finished writing all the letters and summoned two beautiful female dragons to massage his sore claws. Gong Qiying looked at the female dragons for a while and made an evaluation in his mind.
I feel it's not as good as the fox dragon.
After waiting for about two hours, city lords continued to come over. By the time Chiya coughed twice and was ready to speak, there were already more than forty city lords present.
The influence of these dungeons is enough to cover almost all human continents where meteor showers can be seen. All of them are geniuses in the dungeons, and basically they do not have human form.
Gong Qiying didn't know how to describe the appearance of some of them, they were just too bizarre.
It looks like these are all the participants.
Chiya seemed quite satisfied with this. Perhaps he had imagined the number of participants to be even smaller.
"Thank you all for giving me a favor and playing around with me here," Chiya said happily, "I have figured out how to design this mutation. Since everyone is willing to make trouble with me, I will cover all the mental energy you spend in this event!"
Naturally, these words drew applause from the whole audience. The city lord, who could not clap, cheered instead. Even Gong Qiying felt that the other party was too rich. Was this the accumulation of a hundred years?
But looking at it this way, Chiya looks like an old man who is afraid of loneliness and doesn't care about spiritual power, and just wants his juniors to accompany him and have fun. He is very different from his majestic image at the beginning.
Chiya was also infected by the atmosphere. He hummed with satisfaction and told his plan with great interest.
Gong Qiying listened to the whole process and gave himself a simplified version of the explanation.
Simply put, Chiya wants to create an alternate-world version of Quidditch.
He will provide all dungeons with a monster called [Meteor Fairy]. Its characteristics are that it is small in size, runs fast, and is invisible. If a person is hit by it, a hole will be left in his body.
A large number of meteor fairies together can create the appearance of a meteor shower.
Chiya will release Meteor Fairies into all dungeons to disrupt adventurers in battle. Those who catch the Meteor Fairies can exchange them for rewards at the [Meteor Altar] specially set up in the dungeon.
He also covered the mental energy required for the reward in the Red Fang Dungeon!
"And then?" Gong Qiying asked. He wanted to know what other activities Chiya had planned besides Quidditch from another world.
"And then? That's it, that's it." Chiya blinked.
“Isn’t the content a little insufficient?” Gong Qiying also blinked.
"Not much? It was always like this before."
“.”
"Does anyone have anything else to add?"
The other city lords were whispering, and before they could come to a conclusion, Gong Qiying raised his hand.
Chiya stared at him, and he knew that this guy must have some "good" ideas, and he immediately became excited.
The other city lords also stared at Gong Qiying.
"For something as rare as a meteor shower that happens only once in a century, how can we do without a world-class leader?" Gong Qiying said.
"World class?" This word is a little unfamiliar, but it also feels quite impressive.
"How about placing the same powerful boss-level monster in all dungeons and asking all adventurers to defeat it together? In the end, rewards will be given based on the damage caused by the adventurers and whether or not they defeat the monster. How about that?"
The city lords fell into silence for a while, and soon a voice was heard from them.
“That’s a good idea.”
"I think we can give it a try. This is a break from tradition."
"Will it not fit in with the story background of my dungeon?"
“How should we deploy it specifically?”
The voices gradually became noisier. Chiya thought for a while and said, "It's a very novel suggestion, but there are still many problems in how to do it. Do you have any other ideas? Tell us together."
It seems that the city lords intend to empty Gong Qiying's inspiration jar before discussing the feasibility.
"Catching meteor fairies in exchange for rewards is a good idea, but do you want to add some randomness?"
"Randomness? Are the rewards random?" asked Rainbow Horn.
"No, I mean the rewards are fixed, but people have to figure out how to get the rewards they want."
"Huh? I don't understand at all."
Gong Qiying pushed his non-existent glasses and said:
"Let's dye the shooting star fairy with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, etc."
"dyeing?"
"Different colored meteor fairies can be exchanged for different rewards. If you go deeper, you will find that different combinations of different colored and different numbers of meteor fairies can also give different rewards. Let the adventurers figure out the exchange formula by themselves. The unknown is the greatest motivation for exploration!"
"Great!" Rainbow Horn was the first to shout, clapping his hooves excitedly.
"Anything else? Anything else?" There came a burst of urging voices from the city lords.
"Of course there is more," Gong Qiying was also infected by the atmosphere and kept talking.
"Encounter battles, rating rankings, unique titles"
No matter whether it is suitable or not, just tell me first!
