Chapter 616: Hollow Knight's Map
"Um, Lord Godwin."
Cangyin Dungeon, the city lord's room.
Hainess's face looked full of worry. She rubbed her hands back and forth and said anxiously:
"With this design, can any adventurer really pass through? Will the place called the Road of Pain make people angry?"
"Don't worry. Adventurers are creatures that the harder you deal with them, the more active and happy they will be. Sometimes you can't even imagine what they will do to your dungeon."
Gong Qiying was watching the video recording of adventurers in Cangyin Dungeon that day.
Although he usually watches the videos of adventurers in the Senn dungeon as a pastime, it is now interesting to watch the adventurers in other dungeons.
Although the adventurers in Cangyin Dungeon have been more or less influenced by Soul Five in Sen Dungeon, most of them are still innocent little knights, and their actions when exploring the dungeon are surprisingly simple.
Simplicity also has its advantages, such as the "Road of Pain Challenge Video" he is watching now.
If the adventurers from the Senn Dungeon encountered the Road of Pain here, they would probably have started to do some unexpected things.
Luluwo will definitely try to swing around with a chain tied to a spiked iron thorn or something like that, acting like Spider-Man. Stellan will probably try the hound walk, and Dar will probably be able to ignore the pain and just grab the iron thorns and climb up the wall.
In addition, there may be adventurers who put the entire shield under their feet and slide on the spikes like a skateboard, adventurers who can fly, civil magicians who soften the spikes, orcs who rely on their thick skin and flesh to resist, and so on.
After spending a long time with the adventurers, Gong Qiying could probably guess what these people would do.
Therefore, when he knew that Heinis had designed the Road of Pain, he had prepared strategies to deal with all the things he could imagine. Although he would not completely deny the actions that these adventurers might take, he would not let them have their way either.
During the entire design process, every time Hainess added a trap point, she would tremblingly ask, "Is this really a good idea?" She repeated this sentence probably hundreds of times.
For her, who still has love and peace in her heart, this "Godwin Face-to-Face Meeting" truly refreshed her worldview.
The moral bottom line seems to have dropped a little without us noticing.
However, the adventurers of Cangyin Dungeon proved one thing with their actual performance.
That is, the worries of these two city lords seem to be unnecessary.
So far, they have seen these adventurers who were forced to take on the Path of Pain.
Surprisingly well behaved.
Because Hollow Knight is a horizontal 2D game, it would be a bit strange and troublesome to reproduce it in the three-dimensional world. Gong Qiying just tried his best to make the current design somewhat similar to the original.
For example, in Hollow Knight, the Knight can use his weapon to hack down at the spikes on the ground to achieve the effect of rising or even continuous jumping. The Path of Pain is a major test of the player's ability to master jumps and hacks.
But I have to complain that the Path of Pain should be where someone lives. Who would decorate their home to be a place full of chainsaw spikes and iron thorns!
Considering that the Hollow Knight only has one weapon, Gong Qiying also thoughtfully suggested leaving two high-nut fragments for the adventurers, which is a good benefit.
The adventurers of Cangyin Dungeon discovered the existence of this and tried to develop the possibility of jumping by hitting the spikes.
The vast majority of them are actually honest enough to only use this method to challenge.
Unbelievably honest.
Throughout the entire day, Gong Qiying and Heinis watched the adventurers challenging the Road of Pain until they discovered it at the end.
There doesn't seem to be anything fancy to say.
They really use the designed method to pass the level honestly, and try to find the right force and distance through repeated trial and error. They dance on the spikes in pain and unhappiness, chasing after a reward that they don't even know what it looks like.
Looking at them like this, Gong Qiying recalled the first time he came into contact with the Road of Pain, and those distant memories really came flooding back to his mind.
If this was his Senn Dungeon, he would probably not be able to resist giving these hard-working adventurers some practical rewards to motivate them.
Heinis is also quite kind. She divided the Road of Pain into different sections. Passing each section will give corresponding rewards. She is much more soft-hearted than Gong Qiying.
Even so, this project, which Gong Qiying thought was sure to attract people, was still full of uncertainty in her eyes.
"However, you are worthy of being Lord Godwin to design such a scene."
Regardless of the adventurer's reaction, Heness clapped her hands and praised:
"This evil, no, I mean extremely interesting design is really your style!"
“It’s just drawing on the experience of our predecessors.”
Gong Qiying shrugged his shoulders and did not stay any longer. He suggested leaving here for the time being.
After all, it would take time to verify how the new design would be received by the adventurers, and he had nothing to do just staying here.
"Yes!" Heinis nodded vigorously. "If there are any new changes, I will inform you in time!"
In this way, the great Lord of the Sen Dungeon completed his first teaching to his lovely junior.
However, just three days later, the other party sent another invitation.
"Ge, Lord Godwin, good news, good news! The adventurers actually don't dislike these new designs, and more and more of them are coming!"
"You still need to continue to maintain it so that the dungeon can be more vibrant."
"Yes! I'll keep your teachings in mind!"
Heinis saluted like a soldier, and then she couldn't help laughing, and couldn't hide the joyful atmosphere.
This is what young people are like. This youthful feeling is completely different from that of Chiya and the others.
Gong Qiying couldn't help but sigh like this.
He congratulated the other party, looked at the images of the adventurers, and then it was the final step.
Take his reward.
"Then I'll take these with me."
What Gong Qiying took away was the monster from Cangyin Dungeon.
To be more precise, it is the plants in Plants vs. Zombies, and a mutated version of them.
The adventurers of Cangyin Dungeon brought these plants out, and after coming into contact with the outside world, these plants began to adapt to this world.
For example, the Ice Archer really knows ice magic, the Giant Enchantress can open its eyes during the day without coffee beans, and some plants seem to have a wonderful symbiotic relationship with the local monsters.
Gong Qiying values two things the most.
The first type is those plants that have grown in size due to local characteristics.
Secondly, almost all plants that leave the Cangyin Dungeon, after being raised in the outside world for a period of time, acquire the characteristic of [deliciousness].
The taste is just as good as the vegetables from the gourmet area.
It's amazing, even Gong Qiying can't explain this change.
So he collected some samples from the Cangyin Dungeon, intending to go back and study them, and at the same time enrich his own monster resource library and food area. Frequent updates are required to keep it vibrant.
"If there are any new plant mutations, please let me know and I'll come back to get some samples."
And he didn't take Hainess's money for nothing. Although the entire set of Plants vs. Zombies was lent to her by Gong Qiying, he just regarded it as operating expenses.
"If you can produce a mutant plant that is quite useful, I can continue to guide you."
As he spoke, he showed several map designs that were deeply related to the Path of Pain.
[Greenpath], [Fungal Wastes], [Crystal Peak], [City of Tears].
A collection of maps all from Hollow Knight.
Although Heinis didn't quite understand, she felt a sense of awe just by hearing these names. Her eyes were filled with anticipation, and she nodded heavily!
"Good-bye, Lord Godwin!"
"Goodbye, I look forward to your future activities."
Just like that, the troubles of Cangyin Dungeon were perfectly solved.
That was the day after Gong Qiying brought the mutant plants back.
The workers who often hang out in the food area to collect ingredients were surprised to find that the food area had newly added common vegetables such as peas, cabbage, corn, and mushrooms. These vegetables did not have the strange appearance like the previous ingredients, but were what everyone could see in the daily vegetable market.
However, although they look ordinary, the taste astounds the adventurers.
These are not ordinary vegetables at all, but a new masterpiece in the food area disguised as ordinary vegetables!
Chefs from all walks of life set out again to purchase such vegetables, and each of them is full of expectations for his or her career.
With these new varieties that are no different from common vegetables, they can use the high-quality ingredients of the Sen Dungeon to make dishes that are already very popular in this world, rather than creating original dishes based on the exotic ingredients of the gourmet area. This will undoubtedly further improve the quality of the restaurant's dishes.
The chefs have also noticed the plants in the Cangyin Underground City and have purchased a considerable amount of them, but currently the supply is still insufficient to meet the demand.
The biggest beneficiaries of this incident are actually the chefs and diners.
While I was obsessed with cooking in the Kingdom of Anor.
The status of the Warrior Kingdom changed further.
