Chapter 88 New Enemies, New Challenges
The workers of the Bede family are given priority to enter, the ore purchase is monopolized, and adventurers are taxed.
Gong Qiying sensed something was wrong and learned this information simply by using his clone to take a walk around Bed City.
No wonder when the dungeon was first opened today, a large number of workers came in within the first hour or two.
As soon as these workers entered the dungeon, they went straight to the resource point of blood ore. Only a small number of those who seemed to have some strength would go to the food area, while some adventurers employed by the Bed family went to the outskirts of the swamp area to hunt scarecrows in order to harvest the various detoxifying mosses they dropped.
Currently, the Bed family is focusing on developing these three resources for the Senn dungeon, not only because of their unique effects, but also because of their stable output.
Gong Qiying regarded these things as welfare. After all, they were surprisingly cheap to make and could also be used to attract people, allowing some gold miners and brick movers to earn income.
Now it seems
"Or maybe I have too good a temper."
Gong Qiying frowned as he looked through the [Available Monsters].
The Bed family actually wants to monopolize the Sean Dungeon. This behavior is too bad and must be punished immediately.
If there is more than one portal, Count Philip's worker priority order may not be a bad thing for the dungeon. A large number of ordinary people coming in to die and explode their mental power will be welcomed by everyone.
But his mistake was in levying taxes and selling tickets.
Most of the adventurers don't actually have much money, and purchasing and repairing weapons and equipment, purchasing potions and props, etc. are a huge expense.
It's already good enough that they can accept the resurrection fee in the resurrection house and the fee for the teleportation crystal when exploring the dungeon. Why do you want them to spend extra money to buy tickets?
You’re dreaming!
Even though the rewards of the Sean Dungeon are extremely unique and tempting, it is also difficult. The adventurers have to pay more resurrection fees and teleportation crystal fees.
There will inevitably be a group of people who will be disgusted and leave.
"We have to teach the Bede family a lesson," Gong Qiying thought for a moment, and added, "Hit them hard, but there has to be a limit. It's not good to drive them all away."
He intended to teach Earl Philip a severe lesson. If the other party still insisted on monopolizing the market,
Some of the methods previously arranged will need to be put to use.
"Blood healing potion, is this thing so tempting?"
He drank a bottle, and its effect was to quickly heal injuries, temporarily improve physical fitness and strength, and stimulate nerves, putting people in an excited state. If you drink a lot, you may see hallucinations and get extremely high.
This effect reminded Gong Qiying of something in his previous life that he couldn't even mention.
Well, it's tempting.
"For monsters, choose the Explosive Scale Dragon," he pointed his finger at the available monsters, and added some wonderful tools that would be used later to the map.
What he wants now is to give the Bed family a warning, so that they will realize their mistakes and stop doing meaningless things.
However, this is just a thought for now.
Soon, he won't think so anymore.
"Boom boom boom"
There was a sudden series of noises from the altar beneath Gong Qiying, forcing him to jump down and look at the altar with a frown.
This thing was actually rotating slowly, and light blue runes were slowly lighting up. It looked like it was about to summon a heroic spirit. Something was slowly taking shape in the middle of the altar!
[The spiritual power reserve has reached the standard, and the world's fame is opening up]
"?"
A map was spread out in front of Gong Qiying. There were no markings on it such as mountains, lakes, cities, etc., only a rough outline.
He had seen this shape somewhere before, and it seemed to be the continent he was currently on!
It’s just that the maps provided by the dungeon are more accurate and the graphics are more detailed.
The entire map is colorful, with various colors scattered across the map. If you count them carefully, there may be hundreds or even two hundred slightly different colors.
The three colors of red, pure black, and pure white occupy the largest area on the map, and they can be found everywhere.
There are scattered patches of light green grass in the west of the center of the continent, which look quite conspicuous.
If we compare it with the real map, it is not difficult to find that the area with the most green grass happens to be near Bed City!
In addition to Bede City, there are scattered green lights on the map, the color is so light that there are only a few pixels. There is even green on the westernmost continent!
"Green represents my influence, and the other colors represent other dungeons," as the information flooded into his mind, Gong Qiying quickly understood everything. As a veteran player, the idea of dyeing the entire map green quickly took root in his mind.
But what he didn't understand was why a special system of world-renowned reputation should be set up?
Besides checking the influence of the dungeon, does it have any other function?
At this moment, the summoning of the heroic spirit ended, and with a "click", a tattered ancient book fell on the altar.
Gong Qiying carefully opened the ancient book that seemed to be reduced to ashes at any time and read the opening words.
[Hello, Godwin from the Thane Dungeon]
Oh my gosh, box! ?
Gong Qiying played a joke from his previous life, but no one around responded, and even if someone did, they wouldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
He laughed at himself and continued reading, but his expression suddenly became serious.
[My name is Godwin, and this is not a coincidence. If I have to explain, I am you in the past and you are me in the future.]
[Don't worry that I will steal your body. When you read this, I will have completely dissipated due to exhaustion of my mental strength. You will inherit my body and live under the name of "Godwin" until you run out of mental strength.]
[Godwin, this body is passed down from generation to generation and will never change. The only thing that changes is the spirit within it. I am just one of the many passers-by in this body, and so are you. Of course, I hope you will not become a passer-by, but become the real Godwin.]
[If my guess is correct, you might wake up one day and suddenly find yourself turned into a terrible zombie, and you can never leave the dungeon again, right? No matter you are a farmer, adventurer, mercenary, knight, or a prince or princess of a certain country, once you become Godwin, you can never go back to your previous life.]
The owner of this book doesn't seem to have considered the existence of time travelers.
[Dungeon, this disgusting thing, when the spirit of the city lord disappears, it will capture the souls of others and force them to become the new city lord. I used to be a successful adventurer with a gentle wife and lively and lovely children, all because of this damned dungeon]
The amount of information in these words is simply overwhelming.
The author of this book has a deep resentment towards the dungeon, but unfortunately the content below was damaged, so Gong Qiying had to turn to the part where there were still words to continue reading.
[The dungeon is sealing something, but as long as the dungeon lord's body remains, the seal will never be broken]
Another long gap.
[The fact that you can see the notes I left behind means that your mental energy reserves have reached the standard, right? You are quite talented in running a dungeon. Regardless of whether you love this job or not, you are a qualified dungeon lord.]
[Next, please listen to my advice and don’t repeat my mistakes]
[You can already see the popularity map. Unfortunately, this means you are about to enter a brutal battle.]
[The moment you step onto the map, you enter the field of vision of other dungeons. Do not look at others with kindness, but with the greatest malice.]
[Those who actively approach you will become your enemies, and those who are far better than you may pity you and help you]
[I think you understand what I am talking about. Due to the rules, I cannot go into too much detail. Please forgive me.]
[Reputation is very important to you, very important. It determines whether you can survive the fight.]
[Because the key to victory is never your monsters, no matter how powerful they are. I made a fatal mistake on this point.]
[Those who love your life, love this dungeon, love everything you created, and have a bond with the dungeon are the real ones——]
The text suddenly stopped, and large sections of the following text were damaged and completely unintelligible.
“.”
Gong Qiying discovered that he could understand the contents of ancient books, and those riddles were not a problem for him at all.
It was as if the spirits that had once inhabited this body were helping him understand everything.
He already had a roughly accurate guess as to what the abrupt end was.
The fight probably refers to the fight with other dungeons.
However, the dungeons are far apart from each other, and the dungeon lords and monsters cannot leave their respective areas. How can they fight? In what form can they fight?
It's really confusing, but it also brings a sense of unknown fear.
It seems like a life-threatening terror could strike at any time, making it hard to sleep or eat.
Therefore, once the popularity map was opened, Gong Qiying entered a never-ending arms race.
"Come on, I'm not afraid," he exhaled a breath, his eyes flickering.
But when he turned to the last page with the text, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Do not open any envelopes.
Don’t touch any envelopes.
Don't look at any envelopes.
【.envelope!!!】
What made Gong Qiying's eyes widen was not the words, but the things on the altar.
A sea blue envelope was lying there quietly.
I wrote more than 10,000 words in this chapter after revising it, and finally I have a version that I am satisfied with.
