Even as night fell, the enthusiastic Adventurers didn't stop their discussions.
It was supposed to be a time for rest and relaxation, yet they were still tirelessly analyzing various data and discussing all sorts of gameplay strategies.
The channel interface was also filled with different voices.
"How do you play this Dungeon? Why can't I pick up this gun and use it?"
"Why did I suddenly die while running? Who was shooting me??"
"What's a Level 3 Helmet? What's an 8x scope? What in the world is a 98K?"
"Why can others headshot me with one shot, but I can empty a clip into them and they don't even lose health?"
These were all new Adventurers who had just entered the Dungeon.
Many veteran Adventurers liked to team up with these new Adventurers to lower their overall ranking score, allowing them to be matched into lower-tier games.
In the novice areas, they could slaughter freely, seeking that feeling of dominating weaker opponents.
The current popularity of Battle Royale in White Night City had reached the level Chen Yu had hoped for; the word-of-mouth phenomenon spread even faster than Chen Yu had imagined.
The Dungeon's population was currently at full capacity.
At its peak popularity today, countless Adventurers were even queuing up, a privilege in White Night City usually reserved only for established Dungeon Lords.
Compared to a few days ago, the popularity was absolutely skyrocketing.
Even the Adventurer's Guild, which always held itself in high regard, had taken notice of him.
It was impossible not to notice...
Because by evening, the Adventurer's Guild's inbox was already overflowing with requests to host a Battle Royale competition.
Thousands of Adventurers simultaneously requested that the Adventurer's Guild not be so ignorant and seriously organize this competition.
With two or three hundred people previously, the Adventurer's Guild could still feign ignorance...
Now, with thousands of people requesting at once, the Adventurer's Guild could no longer pretend not to see it, and such a message also appeared before various high-ranking officials.
This sudden turn of events called many high-ranking officials out of various clubs.
A temporary meeting was convened...
Adventurer's Guild.
Conference room.
Guild President Ma Lingzhi, the current Guild President, sat at the head, his gaze profound. "Everyone, you've all heard, right?"
"Guild President, why did you call us so urgently? What's the matter?" Xu Gaoyuan, one of the Vice-Chairmen sitting beside Ma Lingzhi, said with displeasure.
He was having fun just a moment ago, but then he was abruptly interrupted by a system communication call, and no one would have a good expression.
"It seems you all still don't know what happened today."
Ma Lingzhi waved his hand, signaling his assistant to explain the situation.
The assistant quickly stood up.
He briefly explained the performance of Battle Royale over the past few days...
After listening.
Xu Gaoyuan frowned. "That's still not worth calling all of us here, is it? It's just a Dungeon; just handle it as usual!"
Someone beside him scoffed. It was his sworn enemy, Vice-Chairman Qi: "Are you really so dense? A Dungeon with no recommendations, no existing fanbase, can break out in just a few days, reaching this level of nationwide popularity, with posts flooding all major forums. Do you still think this is 'just a Dungeon'? This is a completely new model, an event capable of overturning White Night City's entire Dungeon industry chain. All you think about are the masseuses at the club; what else do you even know?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Don't you dare slander me..."
Xu Gaoyuan responded defensively but forcefully, "No matter how popular it gets, it's still just a Dungeon. If it's popular, we support it; if it's not, we ignore it. Haven't we always done it this way? How is it going to 'overturn White Night City'?"
"Heh heh!"
Vice-Chairman Qi scoffed. "It seems our Vice-Chairman Xu still knows nothing. From this, it's clear he hasn't been paying attention to the current state of Dungeons."
Upon hearing this.
Xu Gaoyuan's expression changed drastically.
What was the purpose of their Adventurer's Guild's existence? Wasn't it to manage various Dungeons, and by allocating recommendation slots, promote good Dungeons and demote bad ones, thus securing greater benefits for Adventurers?
Vice-Chairman Qi's remark could be said to directly accuse him of dereliction of duty and being a useless official.
Although it was true!
However...
Xu Gaoyuan still tried to argue, "Don't talk nonsense. I pay attention to every excellent Dungeon. I also regularly send people to contact their Lords to strengthen the construction of various Dungeons... Don't you dare unfairly blame me."
"Is that so?"
Vice-Chairman Qi sneered, "Then may I ask, Vice-Chairman Xu, where does this Battle Royale Dungeon we are discussing come from? Who is its Lord? How many days has it been around?"
"This..."
Only then did Xu Gaoyuan remember that a piece of information about this Dungeon seemed to have appeared on his desk recently, but because he had been 'too busy' lately and too lazy to look, he hadn't paid any attention to it.
As a result, he hadn't expected...
Now it had become a sharp sword to question him.
Seeing Xu Gaoyuan's troubled expression.
Guild President Ma Lingzhi skillfully intervened at the right moment, preventing the matter from dragging on. "Alright, this is my fault too. I've given Old Xu too much work recently, so it's normal for him to be somewhat negligent."
Ma Lingzhi knew the temperaments of these subordinates too well.
These two Vice-Chairmen were openly and covertly at loggerheads, all for the sake of contending for the Guild President position after he retired. He was too lazy to listen to them bicker here.
He directly changed the subject.
"Then let me speak directly!"
Ma Lingzhi stood up and said:
"Some of you may not know, this breakout Dungeon, Battle Royale, does not originate from any of our subordinate Lords, or their descendants, but rather from a place under us called Tide Town."
