Once he made up his mind, he immediately took action.
Although there were no soul crystals to build a new Dungeon at the moment, it was still possible to pre-construct content and store it in the system.
Chen Yu's consciousness instantly immersed itself in the system.
First, he built a basic model of an underground hive base, and then added details.
He remembered that the Hive was connected to the outside world by an underground train, so he first built a train track.
Following the train into the Hive, it was now time for the construction of specific scenes.
In terms of scene design, cold-toned metal structures were primarily used, which, combined with enclosed spaces and high-tech facilities, could create a depressing apocalyptic atmosphere.
The internal structure of the Hive consisted of multiple layers of laboratories, a data control center, and narrow corridors.
All areas were fully controlled by the supercomputer "Red Queen"; here, Chen Yu created an event trigger to simulate artificial intelligence.
Oh, and there were also cultivation pods for Lickers, and deadly laser channels.
A blueprint for the laser channel had to be left, lest the Adventurers not understand and directly rush in to be sliced.
...
Chen Yu didn't know how long he had been working; while diligently replicating the scenes from Resident Evil 1 in his mind, he had forgotten the time, immersed in a state of single-minded focus.
By the time his consciousness withdrew from the system, it was already late at night.
"I'll work on it tomorrow; at this rate, it should be finished by the day after tomorrow."
Since he already had a blueprint in his mind, Chen Yu's construction efficiency was incomparably higher than that of other Dungeon Lords.
"I almost forgot, it's time to release the quests now."
Chen Yu opened the system again and selected the Adventurer interface.
Quest Release.
"Quest: Conquer the Goblin Tribe"
"Quest Content: Conquer the Goblin Tribe in the northern forest. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with 500 happy coins. The top 5 on the scoreboard will receive 100 contribution points."
"Quest Duration: 4 hours"
"Quest Participants: 20 people"
Although he had already made arrangements with the Adventurers, it was hard to guarantee that some would not come, so he released another quest to make up for the missing numbers.
Some Adventurers were willing to take on such short-term quests; compared to exploration quests that lasted a day, short-term quests with clear objectives were like doing a side job after finishing the main daily work.
After releasing these quests, Chen Yu opened the Adventurer's Tavern interface again.
The reason he was so confident that only four hours would be needed was because of the magic crystals the Adventurer team brought back today.
These magic crystals were enough to upgrade all the Adventurer spirits in the Adventurer's Tavern.
The novice period was not yet over, and the monster levels in this area were generally not high, mostly Level 1.
Therefore, upgrading the Adventurer spirits would definitely make conquering the Goblin Tribe much simpler.
Two magic crystals of the same level could increase one level.
A high-quality magic crystal could allow the Adventurer spirit to improve by one quality.
Chen Yu glanced at the current Adventurer spirit.
"Troop Type: Adventurer Spirit"
"Race: None (temporary)"
"Quality: Common ★ ☆"
"Level: 1"
"Overall Combat Power Index: 3"
"Attack: ??"
"Defense: ??"
"Agility: ??"
"Constitution: ??"
"Description: This is the medium that Adventurers from another world need to attach themselves to when they cross over."
The Adventurer spirit did not have specific attack, defense, agility, or constitution data, only an overall combat power index; Adventurers could decide the data themselves when they crossed over.
It was somewhat like character customization in games.
The data could be customized.
What Chen Yu needed to do was simply increase the level and quality of the Adventurer spirit.
"Do you want to consume two Level 1 Common-grade magic crystals to upgrade?"
"Yes."
As Chen Yu finished speaking, an Adventurer spirit immediately glowed.
"Upgrade successful."
"Congratulations, your Adventurer spirit has been upgraded to Level 2, and its combat power index has reached 6 points."
"Did it just double? This way, when we conquer the Goblin Tribe tomorrow, the efficiency can be greatly increased."
Chen Yu upgraded all the Adventurer spirits to Level 2, and in the end, he even had a few magic crystals left over.
These magic crystals were temporarily stored in his backpack and could be used later when the Adventurer's Tavern expanded.
After upgrading the levels, Chen Yu opened the quality upgrade interface.
He took out the fine-quality magic crystal that the Goblin Head had given him.
"Item: Magic Crystal"
"Level: 1"
"Quality: Fine-grade ☆"
The Goblin Head's quality was the lowest among the fine-grade, only half a star.
But no matter what, it was still fine-grade, so Chen Yu chose an Adventurer spirit to use it on, and the quality upgrade interface immediately emitted a dazzling glow.
"Congratulations, the quality of your Adventurer spirit has been improved. Current Quality: Common ★ ★ ★ ★."
"Troop Type: Adventurer Spirit"
"Race: None (temporary)"
"Quality: Common ★ ★ ★ ★"
"Level: 2"
"Overall Combat Power Index: 16"
"Attack: ??"
"Defense: ??"
"Agility: ??"
"Constitution: ??"
"Description: This is the medium that Adventurers from another world need to attach themselves to when they cross over."
"Did the combat power increase so much at once?"
Chen Yu was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect such a significant increase in combat power from a quality upgrade, and he wondered how that Goblin Head died.
It was already very late.
After finishing all of this, Chen Yu felt a wave of sleepiness and returned to his room to rest.
What he didn't expect was that the two Half-elf girls had already cleaned the room very thoroughly; it was no longer the messy state it was in before.
It was just a pity that there were no bed sheets or quilts, still just a stone bed.
"It seems I need to set up a textile factory, but unfortunately, I don't have the blueprints. I'll see if I can get anything from the Goblin Tribe tomorrow."
The development of the castle would still take a long time.
The next day.
The two Half-elf girls woke up early to activate the "Happy Playing Cards" Dungeon.
What they didn't expect was that after a night of fermentation, the number of reservations exploded again, reaching 108.
And this number was still increasing.
Lina and Effie quickly opened the doors and let the Adventurers in.
Suddenly, 80 people appeared inside the "Happy Playing Cards" Dungeon, reaching a state of full capacity.
There were still many people with reservations outside, but due to the Dungeon's load capacity, they could only enter after the people inside finished playing and left.
However, all Adventurers who had played understood in their hearts.
Leave?
How could that be!
Once inside, they basically stayed for the entire day.
Where was the talk of leaving?
Therefore, the Adventurers who couldn't squeeze in were all itching with impatience outside.
"Damn, damn, how did it get full?"
"I should have woken up earlier. Yesterday there were only 40-something people, how did it get so many today?"
"It's all your fault for promoting Lord Chen so aggressively, now I can't even get in."
"What should I do? Do I have to go play those boring Dungeons?"
"No, I just started to experience the fun of Happy Chess and Cards."
"Wait a bit longer. As long as Lord Chen earns money, he will definitely open new lines. Everyone keep making reservations to put some pressure on Lord Chen."
"Okay, then I'll wait it out."
