White Night City Adventurer's Guild.
As a county-level city, compared to the guilds in lower-tier towns like Tide Town, the city-level guild was much larger in scale.
The building alone already occupied a vast area.
This was also one of White Night City's few large buildings, and it was built with stone, not wood, which made it a cut above the rest.
The guild had many areas planned, and below the Guild Master, there were many management positions like Vice Guild Masters.
At this moment.
Dusk was approaching.
In the Adventurer's Guild system terminal area, a few assistants responsible for this area had just finished a not-too-busy day of work.
By this time, most people had almost used up their daily attempts.
Some people were already lying in bed, counting their earnings for the day.
Others went out to chat and stroll with friends.
Therefore, Adventurers rarely sent messages to the Adventurer's Guild anymore, providing feedback or asking questions.
At this time.
It was the assistants' most leisurely period.
It had to be said.
Being able to secure a position in the Adventurer's Guild was quite good in this world; not only could they obtain food through the Dungeon daily, but they could also receive a salary from the guild, which, though not much, was enough for living.
Such a job could generally be done for a lifetime.
They would only officially retire when they got old and no longer had a system.
It was equivalent to an iron rice bowl.
The assistants were already discussing what to eat for dinner and sharing what food they had dropped today.
They would occasionally exchange food with each other to enrich their daily happiness.
Just then.
A girl suddenly pointed at the system and exclaimed, "Look, an Adventurer has sent a request, saying they found a very fun competitive map and want us to host a competition."
"Really? Is it another attempt to trick us for traffic?" The boy next to her said indifferently, as such things had happened many times.
No matter how fun a Dungeon was, as long as it could trick the guild into hosting a competition, the traffic would surge.
So, over the years, many Dungeon Lords had used the excuse of a "competition" to gain traffic.
The assistants were already used to it.
"Who cares if it's real or fake, I just want to get off work now..."
"If we really report a competition, it'll have to go through layers of approval, and we'll have to run to several departments, oh my god... Let's not make trouble for ourselves, okay?"
"Hahahaha, you're right..."
Out of their desire to get off work, the assistants chose to ignore the request sent by this Adventurer.
But what they didn't expect was this.
After this request was ignored, the next request immediately followed.
In just over ten minutes, they had already received over 100 similar requests, all about the same Dungeon.
This forced them to take it seriously.
"Battle Royale? I've never even heard of this Dungeon before, could it be a new Dungeon? How can we host a competition for that!"
"It's completely unknown..."
"Strange, how can such a Dungeon have so many Adventurers spontaneously sending him requests?"
The assistants were somewhat puzzled.
They had originally thought it was some famous Dungeon, but it turned out to be a complete newcomer.
They couldn't even find where this Battle Royale was located, eventually finding it in a hidden corner of the town's recommended section.
"??"
"That's interesting, how many years has it been since I last saw the town's recommended section? What special features could Dungeons from small towns have? Aren't they all just proxy IPs?"
"Yeah, there are only a few unique ones, and we know all of them, but I have no impression of this one at all."
"...Indeed, but doesn't this precisely show that this Dungeon really has some skill? Otherwise, how could a Dungeon from a small town make so many Adventurers send him requests?"
"Makes sense..."
"What should we do, report it directly?"
They fell silent for a moment.
Just thinking about the procedures involved in reporting it through layers made their scalps tingle.
It wasn't time to get off work yet, but knowing the habits of certain management, they had probably already left the Adventurer's Guild for "social engagements."
"How about... we play it ourselves first? To check the content quality?"
"Alright, I haven't used up my attempts for today yet."
Most people had used up their attempts, so in the end, only two assistants chose to enter the Dungeon. They decided to experience it firsthand before considering whether to deal with this troublesome request tomorrow.
Then...
They got stuck at the team-up interface: 18 / 100.
"??"
"Ah, this... I would never have thought I'd get stuck here."
"Do you have to team up with 100 people at once?"
The few people were silent again for a moment.
Finally, they chose to ignore the requests from over 100 people.
In their opinion, no matter how good a Dungeon from a small town was, it couldn't possibly reach the level where a competition could be held.
A Dungeon without fame.
What right did it have to host a competition? Even if they reported it, it would be useless. They knew with their toes that the higher-ups would just glance at it, reject it, and scold them in the process.
"Forget it, forget it, you two don't have to be so dedicated."
"Time to get off work, go home and sleep."
With these casual remarks, they ended their observation of Battle Royale.
They might not have known.
This was their only chance to gain the right to host a Battle Royale competition. If they had agreed at this time, for the sake of traffic, Chen Yu would have accepted the hosting of this competition, and there would have been possibilities for future cooperation.
But if they waited until it became popular before seeking him out, things would be different.
In the Battle Royale channel interface, the over 100 people, not receiving a response for a long time, knew that their requests had probably been ignored and let out sighs of regret.
By evening.
The Battle Royale Dungeon could no longer form teams. The key was that those who had played had no attempts left, and those who hadn't played saw how troublesome teaming up was and lacked the patience.
After a day.
Chen Yu estimated that he had only gained a little over 1000 soul crystals.
This amount might be an astronomical figure for other Dungeon Lords, but for Chen Yu, it was just pocket money.
After all, his income for this day had already reached over 40,000.
Since the population expansion, all the Adventurers in Tide Town had exchanged for happy coins and embarked on the journey of Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors.
It could be said that in Tide Town...
Chen Yu had completely monopolized the Dungeon.
