Sun Mingde was also stunned when he heard that.
It wasn't that he thought 7,000 soul crystals were a lot; after all, he was an old man who had followed the old Lord for a long time and wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world.
It was just...
Sun Mingde hadn't expected the other party to choose to 'raise the price' at this moment, which puzzled him and made him wonder what trick the other party was playing.
Normally, if you have the strength, you would 'raise the price' immediately; why wait so long?
Only those Dungeon Lords with little strength, when encountering such a challenge duel, would deliberately not 'raise the price,' just to delay time.
Originally, they thought Chen Yu was just delaying time.
But now...
"Sun Shu, should we... raise it?" Hua Zixuan said hesitantly.
He was a genius at creating Dungeons, but in other aspects, he was still a child and couldn't make up his mind about many things.
"Raise it!"
Sun Mingde snorted coldly and said, "If the other party raises it, we certainly have to raise it too; we can't lose in terms of momentum... Besides, if he wants to send soul crystals, why wouldn't we accept them?"
"But..."
Hua Zixuan said, struggling, "Sun Shu, I don't have that many soul crystals on hand."
"...Young Master, don't panic. Don't forget, this duel is also supported by Lord Chen, so whatever he wants, we'll match it."
After saying that.
Sun Mingde had Hua Zixuan contact his father.
7,000 soul crystals were immediately transferred.
The pool of soul crystals also expanded with both sides' 'price increases.'
14,000 soul crystals.
28,000 soul crystals.
Finally, it reached the limit of 56,000 soul crystals.
Looking at such a large sum.
Even Sun Mingde, who had seen much of the world, couldn't help but gulp.
He secretly thought that this gamble was big; if they lost, not only would they lose such a large sum of soul crystals, but they would also probably suffer verbal attacks from other Dungeon Lords...
"It finally stopped!"
Hua Zixuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, before he could fully relax, when the final confirmation time came, he saw the other party directly choose 8 hours later.
This gave Hua Zixuan a big scare.
It even made Sun Mingde a bit uneasy, and he said with some uncertainty, "Young Master, do you think we should follow suit?"
"This..."
Hua Zixuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "How about we delay the time? It's not too late to have this duel after I've made some more improvements..."
Sun Mingde nodded, "That's good too. Let him catch his breath for a while first."
As the two discussed.
They finally chose...
"Time confirmed!"
"Since both parties did not agree on the time, according to the weaker party protection clause, the duel time will be set for seven days later. Both Lords, please prepare."
Hua Zixuan: "..."
Sun Mingde: "..."
Since things had come to this, it was better to not see it.
On the other side.
Chen Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he received this news.
He had already shown weakness by retreating to advance, but the other party still chickened out at the last moment, extending the 'Dungeon Duel' time so long.
"Forget it, I'll wait. Anyway, my Black Myth: Wukong has already been completed, so why don't I launch it tomorrow! Tonight, I'll first make a teaser PV to show the lovely Adventurers what my Chinese civilization's dark mythology is all about."
Chen Yu said with a smile.
Ever since the castle level reached 20, his mental power had rapidly increased again.
The speed of constructing Dungeons now far exceeded that of level 10.
And this Black Myth: Wukong, which he was presenting this time, could be said to be the most satisfying one Chen Yu had replicated among these works.
The Dungeon was replicated.
Then, a teaser PV naturally couldn't be missing.
Before the Dungeon appeared, at least the Adventurers had to know what Chinese Eastern mythology was all about.
Thus, teaser PVs were created one after another as Chen Yu constructed them.
Adventurer World.
At this moment.
The Adventurers were still discussing the duel between Baiye City and Tidal Town.
"Brothers, I've found out that the Dungeon launched by Baiye City this time was made by a second-generation Lord. Its name is Fighting World. As far as I know, this Fighting World has already made a name for itself in Baiye City, and several friends I know in Baiye City have expressed high praise for it."
"A second-generation Lord dares to challenge Lord Chen..."
"Exactly, exactly!"
"He's courting death!"
Most Adventurers expressed disdain.
"Although..." The Adventurer from Baiye City still reminded, "I just want to say that Lord Chen has agreed to a duel of sword and blade orthodoxy this time, and this Fighting World is very strong in this regard. We need to be careful."
"Is this Dungeon really as mysterious as you say?"
"Who cares if it's strong or not? Anyway, whoever dares to send a second wave will be expelled from Tidal Town. If you love Baiye City, go back to Baiye City. Our Tidal Town doesn't welcome you."
"Exactly, exactly!"
Most Adventurers still expressed disdain.
Tidal Town's Dungeon quality and the food it produced crushed Baiye City by several levels, which outsiders didn't know.
Most people only thought... that Tidal Town rose because of the Battle Royale theme and quality.
But in fact, they didn't know that this was just a small part of it.
How good Tidal Town was.
Only Adventurers living in Tidal Town could truly experience it.
Therefore...
Sun Mingde's idea that he could lure the population of Tidal Town back to Baiye City simply by using the so-called sword and blade orthodoxy to break the myth of Battle Royale was actually just the fantasy of an ignorant person.
Go back?
What a joke...
Even if Battle Royale really failed in this duel, they wouldn't possibly go back.
Besides.
Even if the 'Dungeon Duel' this time presented by Lord Chen was a pile of excrement, they wouldn't possibly let Lord Chen fail.
If it was excrement, they would make the other party eat it.
As long as they controlled the clear rate on their side and didn't send a second wave, they would surely win.
Many Adventurers still believed in their loyalty.
"Still chatting here?"
At this moment.
An Adventurer jumped out, "Don't you know yet? Great Xia Nevernight City has a new announcement! A brand new mythical Dungeon is about to launch tomorrow, and in a while, the teaser PV for this mythical Dungeon will also be released. Are you sure you don't want to go and get a taste?"
