Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon? Chapter 200 - 174: What Did They See Before They Died?

What constitutes a good thing?

A good thing, even if surrounded by a pile of trash, can be instantly recognized for its imnse value and stand out from the common goods.

Like the [World Where Victory is the Only Escape].

Upon seeing this na, Gong Qiying couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild, nodding incessantly with satisfaction after reading the specific effects.

It was simply a high-end version of the "Cannot leave the room without XX".

Among the rubbish in the Evil Nest Dungeon, this permission was the brightest star in the night sky.

To avoid any pitfalls, Gong Qiying read through the instructions again carefully before making a selection.

[Create a Different Space that cannot be left until certain conditions are t, the creation and maintenance of the Different Space do not consu spiritual power]

[The construction limit for each Different Space is three thousand spiritual power, i.e., the total spiritual power value of the architecture, Monsters, and items set within cannot exceed this limit]

[Construction in the Different Space does not consu spiritual power, and its items cannot be taken out]

[The limit can be increased by consuming a certain amount of spiritual power, which will result in the Different Space requiring spiritual power for its routine maintenance]

[A maximum of ten Different Spaces can exist at the sa ti, with at most one person entering each one, and both numbers can increase with the Level of the Dungeon]

After reading through the introduction carefully, Gong Qiying thought to himself that the description was quite lengthy.

He pondered that these Different Spaces could be used for independent, small-scale, and exquisite level designs, as well as simply for the thrill of battle.

To put it more seriously, it could be used for things like miniature gardens or arenas, or less seriously, rooms where you "can’t DO before leaving".

The Different Space can be tucked away in a corner to surprise adventurers, turned into a "DLC" that requires certain conditions to trigger, or sothing else entirely.

He had recently encountered the issue of building the Painting World, and if this permission could be applied, it might just solve the problem.

Limits weren’t an issue, as Gong Qiying did not initially plan to build the Different Spaces too large, which would overshadow the Dungeon itself.

There was a minor issue, however: items from Different Spaces couldn’t be taken out, which might reduce their appeal to adventurers without material rewards.

The solution was simple though: insert a small selection of exquisite items with challenging conditions to acquire them. If adventurers could actually find these items, he could just make identical ones to give to them after they exited.

Still...

"Rewards don’t necessarily have to be items."

Gong Qiying’s fingers drumd subconsciously on the altar, his thoughts drifting further and further away.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling noise from the outside, and looking over, the base of the Evil Nest Dungeon was slowly disintegrating.

Ganago was indeed dead, but the remaining spiritual power in the Evil Nest Dungeon was enough to revive him—assuming Gong Qiying didn’t take all the spiritual power for himself.

If he chose to turn the Evil Nest Dungeon into a vassal, he could decide Ganago’s fate; even if revived, the other party would beco his slave.

If he chose to take the permissions and the spiritual power, then the Evil Nest Dungeon, stripped of it all, would fall into dormancy, with no one knowing when so poor soul would be dragged in to work again.

Still... Who would choose an almost worthless Dungeon over a useful permission?

"I’ll take permission number four, and I want all the spiritual power too."

At that mont, he seed to hear Ganago’s resentful wail in his ear.

Gong Qiying cleared his ear, revealing a smile that belonged solely to the victor.

How boring you are, Ganago, I’m likely to forget you soon.

Next was the ti to tally the rewards.

[Plunder all spiritual power from the Evil Nest Dungeon: 14585]

[Evil Nest Dungeon’s City Lord is dead, the Dungeon is about to enter dormancy, extra plunder of its backup spiritual power: 2300]

[Plundered permission: World Where Victory is the Only Escape]

[Received a waiver from battle, can refuse any Dungeon’s combat request for three months]

[Acquired Available Monster: Chiric Worm]

[Deathmatch results have been announced]

[Received a congratulatory gift from the Asta Alliance: 2000 spiritual power, City Lord’s ssage: Well done, brother, the purity of the world has been defended once again!]

[Received a congratulatory gift from the Ganhai Dungeon: 1000 spiritual power, City Lord’s ssage: Tough fight, huh? Rest well.]

[Received a congratulatory gift from the Giant Stone Dungeon: 800 spiritual power, City Lord’s ssage: Brother’s broke, but you’re in my heart.]

[Received from...]

Gong Qiying paused for a second upon viewing the series of ssages.

What’s going on? Since when were deathmatch results made public? Why hadn’t I seen deathmatch news from others before?

It can’t be that only Ganago and I have fought recently, right?

No way, right?

He quickly scrolled through the ssages and, seeing that the published result was just a brief [Sain Dungeon has achieved victory], breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, the full details of his fight with Ganago weren’t broadcasted everywhere.

Gong Qiying shook his head, unsure if the current situation was good or bad. On the one hand, he could show off among the City Lords, but on the other...

"Forget it, why worry about such things."

He closed the City Lord panel. At the mont, there was still a continuous stream of congratulatory gifts coming in, but those City Lords generous enough to send spiritual power were all done, and what remained were various special products with a variety of quirky ssages.

These could be looked at later when he had ti, but there was one important thing that would be regrettable to miss out on if not done now.
