Inside the Liar Tavern.
The free mode was still packed, with the queue extending beyond two thousand.
In this Dungeon, mockery and deceit had become the main theme.
There was no need for the system to actively mock; Adventurers would spontaneously mock each other, instigating various resentments and leading rhythms.
This also became one of the greatest joys for the Adventurers of the top-ranked town in the regional leaderboard.
Experiments showed that.
The food reward for the top-ranked town Adventurer would increase by 20% after engaging in verbal mockery.
And if the Adventurers on their town's leaderboard displayed great power, pulling their town back from a low rank to the top, and then launched a wave of counter-mockery,
The food reward would increase by 50%.
Showing off was exhilarating.
Turning the tide from a disadvantage was also exhilarating.
In order to better show off and turn the tide from a disadvantage,
The top 100 Adventurers on each town's leaderboard,
Had to endure immense pressure daily, constantly participating in the Liar Tavern's gameplay for fame.
It was still the same saying.
As long as its free mode had players, this Dungeon would not worry about its ranked mode lacking consumers.
As for Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors, as a newly opened Dungeon and one of the future virtual empire's main forces,
Within this single day,
It had never been anything but fully occupied.
Even if the warriors themselves had no more attempts, they would sit at the Dungeon's interface entrance, listening to the wind-like warrior, and looking at their character panel.
Watching other warriors' enhancement livestreams.
All the Dungeons,
Were flourishing.
Every moment, they were bringing Chen Yu various forms of income.
The income here did not solely refer to overt income like soul crystal.
Monster cards were also a hidden income.
In fact, during later wars, monster cards were sometimes even more crucial.
The number of monster cards.
To some extent, also represented how strong the Dungeon Lord's war capabilities were.
Otherwise, relying solely on Adventurers,
A Dungeon Lord would find it difficult to contend with a War Lord.
This point...
Chen Yu had realized long ago.
That was why he would rather forgo the soul crystal profits to build a Steel Fortress specifically for card production.
Chen Yu glanced at his card album.
Currently, he possessed the most cards.
Of course, they were the most useless Zombie cards.
Next were the various firearms produced in the Steel Fortress, thanks to the continuous efforts of Adventurers from both towns.
Great Xia Nevernight City would soon achieve firearm freedom.
Of course,
This was assuming Zhang Shiyu did not intervene.
Among the remaining cards,
The more common ones were Zombie Dog, Licker, Smoker, and Tank Zombie cards.
Although Licker was powerful in the Dungeon and became the nightmare of countless Adventurers,
Its card value was only of excellent grade, only slightly stronger than Tank Zombie and Smoker, and could only be used as a counter-card.
The remaining higher-end ones were Tank Zombie, Witch, and the sister-flowers of Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors, Flame Maiden and Ice Maiden; they were all of rare grade and still had fighting power in the current situation.
As for other types of Goblin cards, Cat Demon cards, Tauren Behemoth cards...
Since Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors had not been out for too long, not many had dropped, and they could occasionally be used as counter-cards.
Currently, the shield cards produced in the Steel Fortress were also relatively few.
The 'black slave' 'ox-horses' still needed to redouble their efforts.
To contribute to the beautiful future of Great Xia Nevernight City.
And on this beautiful night,
Great Xia Nevernight City's sixth Dungeon, Audition Online, also made its debut.
...
"After loading for so long, is it finally ready?"
"Charge, charge!"
"Why is there only 120 population? Are we about to witness another instant full capacity moment?"
Audition Online opened.
The click-to-enter button icon turned green.
The Adventurers who had been observing for a long time were invigorated.
Current population: 0/120
"??"
After waiting for more than ten seconds, it was still 0/120...
This situation,
Left countless Adventurers outside stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Aren't any of you going in? Usually, every Dungeon in Great Xia Nevernight City fills up instantly when it opens... What's wrong with everyone today?"
Even if this Dungeon had no promotion,
Even if its gameplay was unknown,
Just based on the name Great Xia Nevernight City, someone should have entered.
The result...
Everyone was actually being humble?
Other Adventurers responded, "You're asking us? Why don't you tell us why you're not going in?"
"Well, I don't have any happy coins left."
"Exactly..."
Other Adventurers rolled their eyes, "Anyone who can wander around here is broke; if I had happy coins, I'd already be having a good time in Resident Evil."
"Yeah, if Ke Li hadn't scammed all my happy coins, I'd still be dominating the Warrior Continent right now."
"Lord Chen didn't announce in advance that a new Dungeon would open; today's attempts were already used up, so where would I have attempts and happy coins?"
"...So you're all poor brothers, huh?"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Well, isn't this awkward then? Great Xia Nevernight City is experiencing its first ever cold reception..."
After waiting another minute,
An Adventurer finally said, "I went and borrowed 300 happy coins; you all wait here, and I'll come back and tell you what's inside."
After speaking,
The number of people in the Audition Online Dungeon finally became 1/120.
At this point, everyone was no longer in a hurry.
Since someone had already gone to scout ahead, even those with coins chose to wait a bit longer.
After all, with more choices now, everyone was more targeted in their use of happy coins, rather than just playing whatever was available.
Everyone started chatting idly outside.
As a result of this wait,
What they got was actually a live streaming interface.
"??"
"Holy cow, did Lord Chen open a live streaming mode again?"
"No way..."
"I could understand Resident Evil opening a live streaming mode before, it was to quickly gain popularity and make Great Xia Nevernight City's name known, but why again this time?"
"Yeah, with Great Xia Nevernight City's current fame, there's no need to rely on live streaming mode to make a name, right?"
"What if there's a good idea and it gets learned by opponents?"
Those who could squeeze into this interface to chat,
Were mostly loyal fans of Great Xia Nevernight City.
They were quite considerate of Chen Yu.
Although the previous Resident Evil had opened a live streaming mode, there were technical barriers and the difficulty of the Super Great World, so others couldn't imitate it.
But every Dungeon Lord Chen created couldn't possibly have such technical barriers and a Great World mode, could it?
