That day, Gong Qiying said a lot, and so did the City Lords.
So ideas seed astonishing at first, but when it ca to real implentation, issues were discovered. The City Lords spent almost an entire day discussing the feasibility of various plans.
Gong Qiying witnessed firsthand what it ans to experience the myriad facets of life.
So City Lords felt that the difficulty of the proposed plans was a bit too high for adventurers and wanted to lower it.
Others loudly protested that it wasn’t enough, finding the difficulty far too lenient for adventurers.
Unsurprisingly, these two factions ended up arguing, which culminated in a challenge of dungeon battles to temporarily resolve the dispute. Who knew their martial spirit was so robust!
The conduct of the City Lords was closely tied to their regions; the one advocating for increased difficulty hailed from the Warrior Country with a simple and honest folk, while the one asking for decreased difficulty belonged to a peaceful and prosperous region.
Of course, amicable discussions still made up the majority.
"I don’t think teor Fairies have a variant with different coloring, should we paint them? But with high-speed movent, the paint might easily co off. Maybe we could switch to another monster."
"What’s the aning of that achievent title? Oh, it’s a reward for adventurers with special contributions... But why does it show glowing characters above their heads? Never mind, it’s kind of interesting. I happen to have permission to do this very thing; I thought I’d never use this permission in my lifeti. Please, let be in charge of awarding titles."
"How should adventurers be ranked? By the number of teor Fairies captured? And considering cross-ranking across more than forty dungeons? If that’s the case, my permission could just co in handy."
As the number of Dungeon Lords grew, a variety of permissions erged. So that were originally thought useless found a purpose, providing technical support for the ’whimsical ideas’ proposed by Gong Qiying.
There were talents among the City Lords, and they spoke pleasantly. Gong Qiying truly adored being here.
Besides normal discussions, there were so frivolous ones too.
"Should we add catalyst Sli teors? I can provide catalyst Slis!"
"Hey, then my hand monster pitfall trap must be included. Slis and hand monsters are a perfect match."
"Hey, hey, watch your manners. How can you old folks be so indecent? Count my goblin tribe in as well."
"Are you really discussing event plans?!" Rainbow Horn loudly teased.
"Alright then, count in with a Dream-inducing Tapir."
"Gedwin, even you aren’t serious!"
Contrary to expectations of a solemn eting with a group of millennium-old foxes, the atmosphere was filled with boundless imagination and friendly camaraderie, like attending a con. Eventually, several universal events were finalized.
One, the otherworld’s Quidditch remains unchanged, but the capture target shifts from [teor Fairy] to [Little teor] brought by the Sain Dungeon. This isn’t just to replace the fast teor Fairies with the slower Little teors for a wider range of adventurers but also because Little teors have inherent different colors. These colors can only be discerned by breaking the outer shell, adding randomness and fun to adventurers’ captures.
Two, an increase in encounters: adventurers capturing more Little teors have an elevated chance of encountering elite monsters when returning to exchange rewards. Each dungeon decides the monster types autonomously.
Three, adventurer ranking; four, achievent titles; five, a world-class boss; six, the Red Teeth Dungeon awards Dungeon Lords according to adventurer rankings from different dungeons; seven...
When Red Teeth proposed the seventh point, Gong Qiying couldn’t help asking, "Won’t this disrupt the world view of the dungeon?"
The seventh point allows each dungeon participating in the event to freely provide corresponding rewards, and adventurers can trade rewards from any dungeon for rewards from other dungeons as they wish.
Cross-dungeon exchange of resources!
Moreover, it was proposed by Red Teeth, a native City Lord of this world!
Gong Qiying thought of this but didn’t voice it, fearing it might alter outsiders’ views of the dungeons’ worldview, unsure if it was good or bad.
But Red Teeth seed quite open-minded about it and said:
"Since we’ve managed to gather to do sothing significant, and God even sent down a genius like you, we must aim for the biggest impact! We are Dungeon Lords; Demon Kings and Heroes will fade with ti, but dungeons are eternal, the entire world relies on them for their livelihood!"
"If we can’t have confidence in our actions, who else in the world can have confidence?"
"As for how outsiders view or interpret our anomaly and what reactions occur post-anomaly, that all doesn’t matter..."
Red Teeth blinked, revealing a hint of pride and slyness in his eyes, and said:
"If they dare, they can just cease coming to the dungeons."
The Red Dragon’s wings suddenly unfurled, sending a powerful gust mixed with scorching heat billowing through the air, showcasing the confidence and pride of this veteran City Lord!
Dungeons have long been deeply embedded in the daily lives of people in this world, entering a dungeon was as normal as eating and drinking.
The influence of the more than forty City Lords present spanned the entire continent, and suddenly avoiding these dungeons due to a short anomaly? How is that possible? Over half of the world’s population relies on dungeons for sustenance, and for dungeons with substantial activities, the adventurers’ commitnt is beyond imagination.
Moreover, within humanity, scholars are automatically refreshed to provide reasonable explanations for all changes in dungeons.
Gong Qiying also smiled with relief, suddenly feeling that his previous careful maintenance of dungeon worldviews was a bit too conservative.
Looking back, all the present City Lords were eagerly preparing, seemingly bursting with vitality and resurgence, as if these old hands had found a new lease on life.
Everyone realized the true implication of the seventh rule—using their dungeon’s unique rewards to lure adventurer traffic from other dungeons here!
This isn’t a boon for adventurers, but a boon for dungeons, or rather, a boon for capable dungeons.
This will be an unprecedented campaign!
The City Lords will transform into the most wicked Minotaurs and steal the foot traffic from other dungeons!
Gong Qiying hadn’t felt this fired up in a long ti. He glanced at his dry palm, which had unconsciously clenched tight.
"I *swear* I’m going to dazzle the adventurers with so fantastic items."
Cursing isn’t lack of class, it’s about being spirited!
Scratching his head, Gong Qiying felt as if yellow hair suddenly sprouted on his bald animated corpse’s head, and everyone he saw seed green with envy.
Red Teeth was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction, thinking that this was the kind of spirit a new-age Dungeon Lord should have. He imdiately shouted, saying:
"Alright, everyone, hurry back to prepare! Once you’re ready, send a ssage."
"Before the teor shower streaks across the night sky tomorrow night, we must make our teors shine brightly!"
After exchanging contact info with several City Lords who stayed to consult him on dungeon design, Gong Qiying returned to Sain to begin the frenzied preparation.
From one to seven, all events are supported by the authority of corresponding City Lords, so he didn’t need to worry about more.
He was responsible for event five, the world boss arrangent, where the City Lords would display their powerful monsters for voting to decide whose monster could act as the world boss.
Since the Red Teeth Dungeon would provide the spiritual power to summon monsters, Gong Qiying picked so of his terrifyingly high spiritual power monsters, each sowhat connected to teors.
[Swift Dragon]
[Esti]
[Sky Cot Dragon]...
Swift Dragon: ??? Do I really fit in here?
It’s worth noting that the monsters ntioned above are not in their strongest forms, just ordinary types or even with so defects.
Sain Dungeon can summon monsters based on the period, like how Gong Qiying can summon the Abyss-corrupted and crippled "Abyss Wanderer" Artorias, but can’t summon the "Wolf Knight" Artorias in his pri.
The Esti that appears here is the most common Esti, not the "Dark Abandoned Child" Esti who destroyed the Eternal City in the Elden Ring storyline, let alone the stronger "Dark Stars" Esti.
The Sky Cot Dragon isn’t the peculiar type or the mysterious red light whose combat power is uncertain compared to its main form. The one Gong Qiying can summon even has so flaws, like being smaller and more prone to explosion.
Interestingly, Red Teeth’s eyes went wide upon seeing the Sky Cot Dragon, imdiately pushing away the female dragon beside him.
After a series of votes, the role of the world boss ultimately went to... Esti!
This was sowhat unexpected; Gong Qiying thought everyone would prefer the dashing silver-winged fierce teor Sky Cot Dragon.
In the end, it seed the City Lords favored the eerie style of Esti over the flashy.
Although curious, none of the City Lords asked Gong Qiying how these monsters ca about, only gazing at him with more respect.
"Alright, today’s focus is on Esti and miscellaneous designs."
Ti passed, and after a night of hard work, Gong Qiying and the other City Lords’ results were finally presented.
Thus, as dusk approached today and the teor shower had yet to arrive on this land, all participating dungeons experienced the prelude to a transformation.
In Red Teeth Dungeon, adventurers yearning to slay dragons and bathe in dragon blood looked up to the sky, exclaiming in shock:
"teor!"
The sa scene was playing out in nurous dungeons, where the dungeon’s teor shower outshone the teors outside, leaving adventurers witnessing the spectacle speechless.
In Unihorn Dungeon, a sweet couple watched a little teor fall beside them and squealed at the sight of the cute creature.
In Sticky Dungeon, an adventurer had their head enveloped by a falling seductive Sli teor, imdiately charging towards their teammate with eyes ablaze in red light.
In Giant Stone Dungeon, a middle-aged man with a seven-to-eight-tenths resemblance to Leon was struck by a high-speed teor and gloriously returned to the Resurrection House.
"Oh no! How did I set the teor shower to be real teors!" The Giant Stone City Lord was frantic, scratching his head.
In Sain Dungeon.
Fingerley, sworn to the Dark Moon Sword, transford into an invader and arrived at Yilushier, just in ti to see a Fallen Star Beast launch a cute star that wiped out the grunts of the Light Eagle Group with a crash, grabbing Eliphas playfully and running off, as the captains chased after, shouting and hollering.
No one noticed him.
"Am I here at the wrong ti?"
Fingerley stood there, bewildered, as a Little teor passed by him, curiously staring at him.
"Cute little guy, what’s brought you to such a dangerous place?" He patted the Little teor, which felt no different from touching a rock, and then he picked it up, gently tossed it far to safety.
"Don’t co running back here, okay? It’s very dangerous."
After saying that, he drew his sword and joined the chase for the Light Eagle Group.
Fingerley never guessed that the little teor he just threw would beco a prized possession for adventurers to crazily pursue in the coming days.
