In the time that followed, Lin Jiao gradually realized that Chen Yu really hadn't been spouting nonsense.
His Dungeon truly had the potential to be a hit.
Because after those nine Adventurers finished playing...
Not long after, the number of people in the Dungeon became: 12 / 20.
The increase this time wasn't as high as the last, but it also showed that those nine Adventurers didn't choose to leave after finishing.
For a Dungeon, stickiness is the most important thing.
As long as the Adventurers' stickiness is high enough, there's no need to worry about not developing.
They would only think about promoting it after they themselves had enjoyed playing.
Lin Jiao's eyes were fixed on the player count interface.
10 / 20
13 / 20
16 / 20
15 / 20
17 / 20
The numbers kept changing.
Occasionally, they would drop.
But they would quickly climb back up.
The upward momentum was strong.
When the number was about to break 20, Lin Jiao glanced at the remaining soul crystal in her warehouse, then gritted her teeth and chose to build a second dynasty warriors Dungeon.
"It broke 20! I didn't expect it to break 20 so quickly..."
Lin Jiao was ecstatic.
In just one short afternoon, her Dungeon had already earned 200 soul crystal, and it wasn't until evening that the Adventurers reluctantly left.
200 soul crystal!
Lin Jiao had never imagined that she would one day be able to earn so much money.
It had already exceeded her scope of understanding.
Although according to the contract, 180 of these 200 soul crystal would automatically enter the system warehouse and be returned to Chen Yu's hands during the Dark Tide.
But even so, she would still have 20 soul crystal left.
"Deducting today's shield fee of 1 soul crystal and Dungeon fee of 2 soul crystal, I still have 17 soul crystal left..."
A money-grubbing glint appeared in Lin Jiao's eyes, "This is great! I can treat myself to a good meal! How about some steamed buns with vegetable paste?"
After a moment of hesitation.
Lin Jiao still gritted her teeth and spent one soul crystal on a 'gourmet' meal.
At the same time.
Sun He's development was also going very smoothly.
His region level wasn't that high, only around level thirty, so when building the Dungeon, his mindset was a little better than Lin Jiao's, but truly, only a little.
He was equally anxious...
And as the number of people in the Dungeon gradually increased.
Sun He, like Lin Jiao, gradually realized that this Dungeon was a bit different and indeed had the ability to become a hit.
In the end, his income was roughly the same, around 20 soul crystal.
Originally, this was what they thought was the limit...
As the second day arrived, Sun He and Lin Jiao once again witnessed the charm of a hit Dungeon.
Full!
In just an instant, their Dungeon was full.
And what shocked them the most was that while it was full, there were also several Adventurers queuing up.
"Holy crap, I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"Queuing!"
"This is actually a queuing state, me? Queuing!"
Sun He had never expected in his life that his Dungeon would be full, which made it somewhat unbelievable to him.
He had originally thought he would only be a slacker his entire life.
But he never expected...
In just these two short days, his Dungeon was full.
Sun He couldn't help but exclaim, "Mom, I've made it..."
"It's a pity that even though it's full, with the 90-10 split, the income of soul crystal is still a bit slow; I don't think I'll be able to build the next Dungeon by the end of the day."
By the end of that day.
Sun He and Lin Jiao each earned 50-70 soul crystal.
This income.
Made them jump up in excitement.
Then came the third day.
After finally gathering a hundred soul crystal and seeing that the Dungeon was still full, they once again chose to build a third Dungeon.
This time.
They didn't even leave themselves any fallback options.
Because fallback options...
Are only needed when there's no hope!
According to the current situation, as long as they don't encounter an attack from a War Lord, earning money is a 100% certainty.
There's no need to worry about this at all.
And War Lords generally won't discover them so early; the system also takes certain considerations when performing jumps.
So it will try to avoid some busier areas as much as possible.
Due to the Dungeon Lord's characteristic of not needing resources, most of them are directly placed in those relatively barren 'places of no strategic importance'.
Of course, it doesn't rule out some unlucky ones who made a wrong calculation during the assessment.
And were sent to some terrible places.
Among the Dungeon Lords Chen Yu sent out, there was one such unlucky fellow; when he opened his eyes, he saw an army of tens of thousands of people standing outside the shield looking at him, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, directly surrendering in a sliding kneel posture.
There was nothing he could do in such a situation.
He could only blame his bad luck.
Moreover, even if they aren't discovered now, this issue will still need to be considered in the future.
As their levels and time progress, their territories will definitely be taken seriously, and then a large army pressing down on them is bound to happen.
At that time, whether to cooperate or how, they will definitely have to make a choice.
However, these are things they need to consider; Chen Yu doesn't care about the aftermath. Anyway, even if they slide-kneel and surrender, becoming someone else's laborers, Chen Yu's share of soul crystal won't be a single one less.
Sun He and Lin Jiao were very clear that the most important thing now was to develop as quickly as possible before those War Lords noticed them.
Only by having enough capital in hand will they have some bargaining power at that time, so as not to be crushed in one go.
And if they can earn tens of thousands of soul crystal before then, if worst comes to worst, they can just activate the shield and enjoy themselves for a few decades first.
That's why when building Dungeons, they were so decisive, not wasting a single bit of time.
Just to race against time, to build more Dungeons and earn more soul crystal to the greatest extent possible.
In a completely hit situation, a Dungeon's daily income is roughly around 30 soul crystal. Building 10 Dungeons first would give them a daily income of 300.
Then they would upgrade the castle level and continue upgrading.
This way, even without building new territories outside, they could still have a good income.
A daily income of over a thousand isn't a dream.
