Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 531 - 364: The City Lords’ Celebration Banquet_2
Chapter 531: Chapter 364: The City Lords’ Celebration Banquet_2
It was offended by the humans it toyed with!
And the human who offended it had already gone mad, no amount of torment could punish him!
"Look, there’s a star blinking really fast in the sky!"
"It’s twinkling like it’s really agitated."
The continuously flickering stars in the sky caught people’s attention, but before the matter attracted more attention, the star suddenly disappeared.
It wasn’t that the unknown entity calmed down, but rather it "lost connection."
A new day arrived, the Meteor Shower had become a thing of the past, and its enhanced link with reality returned to the previous situation where it occasionally connected but mostly remained disconnected.
There’s no way to know the feelings of the unknown entity now, but presumably...
It must be in impotent rage.
Today passed like countless nights in the past, with the setting Sun rising as usual.
Bed City was filled with adventurers who were dead drunk, and the firework devices powered by Magic continued to shoot colorful fireworks into the sky.
The Royal City’s banquet ended earlier, and the outlaw Luluwo was finally captured. All the money she’d earned from selling strategies these days went to paying fines for disturbing the public, and she’d spend several days in jail, enjoying the same treatment as someone being caught in Skyrim.
On this day, the flow of people in Sain Dungeon was low, as if adventurers collectively took a holiday.
Meanwhile, Gong Qiying received an invitation from Red Teeth, as the City Lords gathered for a summary meeting.
"Congratulations on the successful completion of this event!"
The City Lords gathered in Red Teeth’s Dragon Cave, and the atmosphere was lively.
Everyone earned quite a lot this time; some City Lords made enough from this event to cover their spiritual power expenses for the coming year. They were the big winners and thus the most jubilant.
Red Teeth was the happiest, as this event brought him long-lost joy, indicating he’d moved past the shadow of the Bubble Fox Dragon.
Following the still pleasant atmosphere, Gong Qiying clapped his hands and suddenly felt a few piercing gazes. He turned to see the Duel King and several other City Lords, all from Dungeons that were in chaos due to invaders from Sain, especially Glory Dungeon. Originally, some adventurers there had decent rankings on the monument, but in the last two days of battle with Sain, they suffered consecutive defeats, ending with no spots in the top twenty.
Giant Stone Dungeon was relatively successful, retaining two positions in the top twenty, while the rest were dominated by Sain’s adventurers.
If there’s anyone with the biggest conflict with Gong Qiying now, it’d likely be the Duel King.
Gong Qiying’s lips curled up as he stood and walked toward the Duel King, causing the City Lords around him to scatter, leaving only the Duel King staring at him.
What’s this, coming to pick a fight? The Duel King’s gaze was hostile.
Though taunting him would be quite entertaining now, Gong Qiying wasn’t so petty; he’s the type to stop when the situation is good.
"Your adventurers are indeed powerful. If they hadn’t been fighting solo during the invasion and fallen into my adventurers’ encirclement, their results would likely have been better." Gong Qiying patted the opponent’s metal shoulder guard and said, "Let’s have another match when we get a chance next time."
The Duel King was stunned for a moment, then grinned and laughed, "So my adventurers were that strong, hahahaha, Gedwin, your adventurers aren’t bad either! I really want to poach them!"
This guy is quite easy to please...
Gong Qiying had a formulaic smile and laughter on his face when he suddenly heard the other say:
"Since you mentioned dueling, how about we have a match between our Dungeons now, using only Unity Seekers!"
This person is too straightforward.
"I’ve just remembered I haven’t given my adventurers their rewards yet, goodbye!"
Gong Qiying turned and left—what a joke, he wanted a break too.
Moreover, if we only use Unity Seekers for this, if I bring out Gapar, wouldn’t you be overwhelmed?
"Alright, alright," Red Teeth chuckled and said, "The success of this event couldn’t have happened without everyone’s effort, and we’ve already made Dungeons more active in the world, which was the primary goal."
"The final results of the friendly competition have also been confirmed, and I don’t need to say much about the outcome, do I?"
The City Lords turned their attention toward Gong Qiying. This time, Sain Dungeon was the undeniable shining star, ranking high in several competitions.
Perhaps the title of the strongest newcomer would soon belong to Gong Qiying.
"As we agreed beforehand, there will be rewards. After the celebration banquet, you can come to me according to the rankings; now, just enjoy relaxing!"
With Red Teeth’s words, the banquet continued, and the City Lords together could create quite a stir, proving more interesting than the adventurers’ celebration.
Gong Qiying watched for a while, then went early to Red Teeth to ask for his reward.
Unexpectedly, Red Teeth seemed troubled, hesitated a moment, and said:
"What do you think I should give you as a reward?"
"Uh..." Gong Qiying frowned and thought, "I can’t seem to think of anything."
Their long gazes met, and both fell into silence.
"Perhaps, we should just owe it for now? Come find me if you need something later?"
"I think that’s fine, hold on, I suddenly remembered I wanted something specific, it’s the...."
After hearing Gong Qiying out, Red Teeth thought for a moment and said:
"It’s probably impossible to get directly, but Bonds Dungeon can help you both establish a connection. Shared authority can be arranged."
"That’s wonderful, I’ll take this as my reward."
"No, just this is too little."
Red Teeth shook his head and insisted, "I’ll still owe you; seek me out when you want more! Let’s settle on this."
Gong Qiying laughed and said:
"Has anyone ever told you that your straightforward nature is really charming?"
"Haha, you’re the first."
As the banquet concluded, the day was nearly over, and the City Lords with rewards returned to their homes, already planning to participate in future events.
Gong Qiying had a strange feeling of having forgotten something when he returned to Sain Dungeon, but couldn’t recall what.
It wasn’t until he saw adventurers on the Crystal Ball surveillance feed that he suddenly realized.
He had forgotten to distribute rewards to the adventurers!
"That’s really not appropriate..."
Every Dungeon had prepared rewards in advance for each ranking section, allowing adventurers to receive different rewards based on their placement, even varying the frequency of obtaining them.
People ranked outside the top hundred could choose the reward from a single Dungeon, while those ranked between eighty to a hundred could choose rewards from two Dungeons.
And the first place could freely choose rewards from a total of ten Dungeons!
However, Gong Qiying had extra rewards for his diligent adventurers.
Sain Dungeon, Lake Lienia.
Steeran walked out of the Reyalucaria Magic Academy gate, gazing at the starlit night sky, reflecting on how the black holes and Meteor Shower had finally vanished, with Little Meteor and invaders also calming down.
Sain Dungeon had also reverted to the familiar state everyone knew, ending the seven-day short-lived anomaly as if waking from a dream.
But....
Steeran’s expression turned odd.
"Where are our rewards?"
It had been an entire day, yet why was there no activity from the Dungeon?
As she finished speaking, a mysterious beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped her, attracting gasps from people nearby.
[Hero who claimed the first place, please accept this especially prepared reward]
Oh oh oh, it actually came at this moment!
A golden light point slowly appeared in front of her, and Steeran’s heart raced. It felt as though she could hear her heartbeat, as even if someone pierced her chest now, it didn’t matter because her heart had risen to her throat.
This was a golden light point, golden!
Steeran held her breath and slowly extended her hand forward. Upon grasping the light point, it suddenly transformed into several items, and their names were...
[Left Bow Set]
