The underground city is a very magical existence. There are traps and monsters there, and it should be a place where normal people would not set foot. But the [Treasure Box] inside can unlock all kinds of surprising things, including lost ancient magic, legendary hero's armor, swords sharpened like clay, and even a sealed vampire girl! As a result, adventurers all over the world are crazy about dungeons. Thane Dungeon, the deepest part, the hidden city lord's room. Gong Qiying sat on the dusty altar, looking at her withered and wrinkled body and lost in thought. How should I put it? An hour ago, he was working overtime at a game company. The colleague responsible for map design resigned. He knew nothing about map design and was rushed by his boss to clean up the mess left by his colleague. As a result, he narrowed his eyes at noon. After a while, when he woke up again, he had traveled to a different world. Became the city lord of Thane Dungeon - "Living Corpse" Godwin. And faced the desperate situation of less than a month to live. Soon after, Gong Qiying, who fully accepted Godwin's memory, understood why the city lord was short of life.
Because this guy's dungeon is too easy! Other people's dungeons: endless monsters, insidious traps, powerful elite monsters, and treasure chests hiding excrement. Godwin's Dungeon: Scattered weak monsters, traps so obvious that even a fool can see through them, a straight path to the final BOSS room, elite monsters that are purely for decoration, and good quality treasures. The result of combining the above conditions is. His dungeon has become a playground for new adventurers. Even newcomers who don’t know anything can clear the level in one go and feel full of accomplishment! There’s an endless flow of people! However this is not a good thing. Many researchers are wondering about one thing: how did the monsters and treasures in the dungeon appear? Obviously I have killed the monsters and taken away the treasure, but they will appear again the next time I come in. This involves the operating logic of the dungeon. To put it simply, the monsters, treasures, etc. in the dungeon are all created out of thin air by the city owner using his mental power, so they are refreshed. The source of spiritual power is people. A person's emotions, anger, sorrow, and every action will emit spiritual power, and the dungeon will automatically absorb them to maintain daily consumption. But these are far from enough! When an adventurer dies in a dungeon, his spiritual power will explode dozens of times. The stronger he is, the more spiritual power he will explode! Only by absorbing a large amount of the spiritual power of adventurers when they die can the dungeon function normally. No one can die in Thane Dungeon at all. "Is this guy Godwin an idiot?" Using the authority of the city lord, a microscopic model of Thane Dungeon appeared in front of Gong Qiying. After just a few glances, he was left speechless. Godwin's dungeon design level cannot be said to be ordinary, it can only be said to be disaster level. Adventurers come in from the entrance and can reach the BOSS room directly at the end of the road. There are quite a lot of branching roads, but there are good treasures inside. The monsters wandering in the maze are such as slimes, minotaurs, and ghosts. This kind of body material has value, because the ground veins are special, and there are specialty minerals within a few steps.
Gong Qiying repeatedly lamented that the people who designed this kind of map simply came to help the poor. This is a whole treasure trove. "No, we have to make major changes!" He is also a layman in map design, but fortunately he has an advantage, that is, he has played enough games. My favorite among them is the one famous for its extensive map with interlocking traps, insidious and vicious monsters that terrorize SAN—— Dark Souls series! He rubbed the City Lord's ring on his left index finger, and a series of messages suddenly appeared in front of him. [Sain Dungeon, remaining mental power: 1806, daily mental power required for operation: 78] [Available buildings: abandoned villages, poisonous swamps, ancient buildings, underground mines, invisible bridges] [Available monsters: skeletons, minotaurs, slimes, rotten wild dogs, blood mosquitoes, ghosts, goblin groups, low-level snakemen, and crazy zombies] 【Underground City Micro Model】 "First of all, change the dungeon into three floors, upper, middle and lower, greatly reducing the area. Recycle the redundant buildings into spiritual power. There must be gatekeeper elites at the connection points between each floor. The spiritual power I have is not strong enough. Monster, then choose the one with the largest amount!” After some deliberation, Gong Qiying chose to deploy thirteen rotten wild dogs with high mobility, strong desire to attack, and highly venomous teeth at the first connection point. And there are only three in the open, and the other ten are hidden in hidden places. "Hey, let the three rotten wild dogs in the open face their backs to the adventurers. They thought they could sneak attack, but it turned out that they were the ones who got dumped." Gong Qiying showed a "planned" smile. There are two elite tauren set up at the second connection point, one of which is hidden on the ceiling. When the companion is beaten to half health, an AOE will hit the battlefield and turn on the violent state, giving priority to the enemy's magic profession. Naturally, the types of monsters wandering in the dungeon will be greatly changed, and goblins that act in groups will be added. Each goblin group must have a shaman responsible for buffing. Delete the wild minotaur and replace it with a low-cost skeleton monster. Disguise it as a corpse scattered on the ground. When the adventurer passes by, get up and attack. When the skeleton monster is beaten to residual health, it will automatically fall apart and pretend to be dead. It only takes a few minutes to resurrect with full health. The ghosts are replaced by blood mosquitoes. Swarms of blood mosquitoes will apply anemic DEBUFF to the enemy, and can also block the line of sight and disrupt the battle. The only disadvantage is that the fire is weak. After a lot of fiddling, the mental power required to create monsters actually decreased. Gong Qiying looked at the miniature model and felt that something was not right. After thinking about it carefully, he found the reason. “There’s nothing sinister about the map design!” So he changed a certain area on the upper level that must be passed through into a poisonous swamp. The cesspool is an unavoidable part of the souls game. The original appearance of Thane Underground City was a high-density ancient building complex, which looked more spectacular and could be explored freely. However, under Gong Qiying's operation, the map area was greatly reduced and replaced by a mode that mainly focuses on a correct road, supplemented by forks that can go back to the correct road. In addition, there are wrong dead ends, the freedom of exploration is reduced, and the environment It also became dark and dull, full of yin energy. The ancient buildings have disappeared, replaced by the upper level mainly composed of abandoned villages and poisonous ponds, the middle level mainly composed of scattered ancient buildings and forests, and the lower level mainly composed of underground mines. The selection of these scenes and buildings has no connotative meaning. They are purely random choices he made among the available buildings. There are also things like adding a lot of detours on the only way, hiding the old six monsters behind the detours to attack, turning the treasure chest into a Mimic or a teleportation trap, etc.
The corners of Gong Qiying's mouth couldn't help but rise. He found happiness. Traps are also a part that must be tasted, but he discovered a problem. "My mental strength is not enough," Even if he continuously reduces costs and increases efficiency, reduces the map area, deletes monster types, and deducts treasure chest rewards, he only has enough mental power left to survive for seven or eight days. [Remaining mental power: 631, mental power required for daily operation: 77] After seven days, when his mental power is exhausted, as the city lord bound to the soul of the dungeon, he will disappear and the dungeon will lose its vitality. "It only takes two or three people to maintain a day's operation. I am really energy-saving," Gong Qiying sighed and could only give up the trap temporarily. As for why, under such frugal conditions, the mental energy required for daily operation is only a little less than before? Because he has a lot of monsters~ Not only did he pile up monsters, he also placed some rewards that can only be obtained in the game. Such as ordinary weapons with combat skills, enemy skulls, various moss, forged stones, etc. They are all items with distinctive characteristics, cheap and large quantities, and do not require a lot of mental energy. According to Godwin's memory, the props he placed do not exist in this world, and they may become an attractive place. When you have enough mental energy in the future, you can place higher-level rewards to attract more people. After all, it’s not enough to just borrow the difficulty of Soul Travel. If it’s too difficult, no one will come. There must be attractive enough rewards. "Dong dong." The dull bell rang, which meant that Thane Dungeon ushered in a new day and it was time to open. Countless newcomers who are full of yearning for the adventurer profession come here to practice their skills. They can pass through the dangerous map, defeat weak monsters, obtain valuable treasures, and find confidence. However, what awaits them ahead is Malice from another world! There is death before you, so turn back. [Reminder before viewing: There are rewards in the dungeon! There are rewards! There are rewards! Don't say that I have forgotten the nature of human profit-seeking, or that no one will come if there is no reward! I took out the chain fetch, small sickle and swift slash as rewards later! 】 Please collect~
