Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 504 - 346: What is your dungeon planning?

Time rewinds a bit.

Initially, when the meteor shower streaked across the sky, Gong Qiying didn’t think much of it, just regarded it as an ordinary natural spectacle.

When he learned that the meteor shower would last for several days, he merely marveled at how wonderful the magic world is.

Later, upon finding out that this once-in-a-century meteor shower coincided with the outside world’s festival, he started pondering whether his Sain Dungeon should undergo some transformation to amplify the festive atmosphere.

Like, maybe some time-limited events or something.

But after thinking it over, he felt that time-limited events might be too "avant-garde" for the people of this world, worrying they wouldn’t accept it, so he had to give up.

Unexpectedly, just on the evening he decided to abandon the idea, a letter from the Red Teeth Dungeon arrived.

Gong Qiying still remembered the scene last time of several dungeons teaming up to slaughter sealed items. The City Lord of Red Teeth Dungeon, "Red Teeth," gave quite a good impression, like a caring elder.

"Could it be that sealed items have escaped again? Or do they want me to preach to other dungeons?"

After opening the letter, he realized, what he thought and what Red Teeth proposed were completely unrelated.

[To all dungeons with whom I have established contact]

[The once-in-a-century meteor shower is descending upon the earth. By convention, dungeons tend to undergo short-term transformations in response to special events in the outside world. This time, I specially invite everyone to participate; interested parties please reply to me]

[Though it’s called convention, actually no City Lord has implemented it for more than two hundred years. Back when I first became City Lord, people were still organizing events... Taking advantage of this meteor shower opportunity, I wish to reminisce about my childhood; if everyone is willing to join in the fun, I also have tokens of gratitude]

Goodness, it’s actually a "mass email." How extensive is Red Teeth’s network?

But what shocked Gong Qiying the most was discovering that this world actually had a concept similar to "time-limited events," which was unexpected.

He turned around, rummaged through the Knowledge Crystal for a long time, but found no relevant records. It seems the City Lord of Val Underworld, Kidd, also never documented such information.

How could Gong Qiying, who always loves excitement, not participate in such an event?

He immediately replied to Red Teeth, and soon enough, Red Teeth’s invitation for a meeting arrived.

The meeting place was still at Red Teeth’s residence filled with stereotypical impressions of the Dragon Clan, piled high with gold. Compared to his own City Lord room, this place was unimaginably larger, likely related to the owner’s body size.

When Gong Qiying arrived, he found quite a few strangely shaped City Lords already there. At the front, the huge Red Teeth was carefully holding a fine pen, diligently writing letter after letter before sending them out, then proceeding to draft the next one.

Impressive, impressive, so the bulk emailing was meticulously handwritten by you!

Before Gong Qiying could approach the host with a greeting, a vibrant-looking fellow rushed over and bumped into him, excitedly saying, "Gedwin! We meet again!"

It was none other than the City Lord of the Unihorn Dungeon, Rainbow Horn, famous for the so-called "marriage inspection." Unicorns, supposedly elegant creatures, yet he wielded them with rather "quirky" vibes, the rainbow-colored horn atop his head spinning like neon lights.

This even made Gong Qiying hallucinate it as those rotating pillars outside barber shops.

"It’s been a while. Seems like you’re doing well," Gong Qiying nodded. Actually, they still corresponded, so it hadn’t been that long without contact.

Rainbow Horn’s joy attracted the attention of the City Lords present, turning towards Gong Qiying, followed by whispers.

"So it’s him, the design genius that Nianmu talks about every day?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Nianmu was the former name of the Slime City Lord.

"Seeing is believing, truly a talent. Who wants to ask for guidance later? Let’s team up."

"Count me in. I finally pried some of Gedwin’s knowledge out of Nianmu, but after implementing it, adventurers came in droves, drove me crazy."

Gong Qiying naturally heard them, a slight arc curved at the corner of his mouth—he was amused.

After a chit-chat with Rainbow Horn, he then said, "Those design methods you taught me earlier, I thought about them and feel they’re not quite suitable for me. It’s because people come to my place not looking for adventures, so I’m sorry for making you spend time designing the dungeon, which I ended up not using."

Gong Qiying shook his head, "I merely suggested offhand. Having your own ideas is good; what’s suitable for you is always the best."

"Yes, indeed. Although I didn’t use it, many City Lords are recently imitating it." Rainbow Horn leaned closer and whispered:

"I get letters every day asking for guidance; they all want to know what you talked about last time. Haha, just saying a few words randomly makes them happy."

I reckon they’re just being polite with you...

Gong Qiying chuckled; his dungeon design methods indeed had a unique usefulness, but he didn’t consider them too profound for City Lords to comprehend. It was just that City Lords lacked a catalyst for change. With a bit of prompting, they could transform themselves to be as cunning as the underworld and come up with tricks perhaps even more ruthless than Sain.

After all, Sain’s advantage was never about its underhandedness but the rewards it offered, good enough to make people forget the pain.
