Chapter 17: Hundreds of people playing on the same screen

Compared to the Adventurers who were anxious and pacing outside because they couldn't get an appointment,

the "Happy Playing Cards" Dungeon was already exceptionally lively.

The sight of 80 people in one frame startled the Adventurers themselves.

"It's really too lively. Yesterday, I heard them bragging, and I didn't quite believe it, but when I saw it today... this scene is even more outrageous than what they said."

"Who says it isn't? I thought it was just that female streamer boasting yesterday. If it weren't for the recent Dungeon drought and no place to earn money, I wouldn't have even thought of clicking in."

"There are too few good Dungeons now. And for Dungeons on foreign servers, it's all about luck to find them. Just refreshing for new Dungeons wastes so much time every day."

"That's right. Yesterday, I spent three whole hours refreshing just to get the super popular Punishment of the God of Angels. I played it, and it was really enjoyable. It's a pity it's another agent game; I can never get the official server."

"It's normal not to get it. Games like these, which are super popular, are fully booked every day. Their local players don't even have enough slots, so there's no way any spots would leak out."

"In Tidal Town, we can only play the knock-off Punishment of the God of Destruction. But even for that Dungeon, it's hard to get a spot every day."

A few Adventurers squeezed together, unable to help but complain.

Compared to these new Adventurers who were bewildered and didn't know what to do, the veterans had already sat down.

Three people per table, the games had already begun.

Most new Adventurers came with friends, so they weren't in a hurry to go through the novice mode. Instead, they observed from the side.

This was their way of self-inflating their happiness value, experiencing the fun of the game initially.

When they eventually became too eager, they would go to Lina to learn the novice mode, receive 100 happy coins as initial capital, and then become immersed.

Not long after,

the previously reserved newcomers instantly blended in with everyone, being treated as fat sheep by the old players.

The atmosphere quickly became explosive and incredibly lively.

"Adventurer died, soul crystal +1..."

"Adventurer died, soul crystal +1..."

"Adventurer died, soul crystal +1..."

...

Chen Yu was still half-asleep when the system started ringing with the sound of soul crystals arriving.

When he got up and checked, the remaining soul crystals in his account had reached 151.

"This... is it that powerful?"

Chen Yu knew he couldn't sleep in anymore.

He had to get up and get busy with today's tasks.

The first step, of course, was to create the fifth line of "Happy Chess and Cards."

As Chen Yu arrived in his territory, a new Dungeon entrance rose from the ground.

"Happy Chess and Cards" Line Five, activated.

As soon as this news came out, the Adventurers who had been waiting anxiously outside were instantly invigorated.

"It's open, it's open!"

"The fifth Dungeon! I knew Lord Chen would open a new Dungeon once he made money. Brothers, charge!"

"Charge! Let's contribute some more soul crystals to Lord Chen so he can keep opening more. Otherwise, where will we find enough to play?"

The top 20 Adventurers in the reservation ranking enthusiastically logged into the "Happy Playing Cards" Dungeon Line Five.

Inside the Dungeon, 20 more people instantly appeared.

As the numbers grew,

Lina and Effie immediately became busy, unable to stop, simply unable to stop.

"Administrator, top up another 500 happy coins for me! I'm going all in! No, just give me three lives directly. I want to enjoy myself in the intermediate arena."

"Give me five lives, 2500 happy coins! Watch me multiply it several times and show you what it means to get rich overnight!"

"Hahahahaha, I earned 1800 happy coins in one go! Administrator, I want that 888 package. Yes, the one with champagne! I want to celebrate!"

Lina and Effie were swamped.

Fortunately, when Chen Yu set up the code, he added a blink skill for both of them.

So, upon hearing someone wanted the champagne package, Effie blinked back to the bar counter and quickly prepared the champagne package.

"Hello, that will be 888 happy coins. Welcome back next time, and enjoy your game."

Chen Yu stood at the Dungeon entrance, looking at the seemingly chaotic but actually orderly scene inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

These two young girls were really good.

However, he still needed to recruit more people as soon as possible. At this rate, the available hands would eventually be insufficient. He also wondered if there were any other Alien tribe nearby.

Withdrawing his gaze from the Dungeon, Chen Yu opened the Adventurer's Tavern.

He initiated the mission summon.

"Do you want to consume 40 soul crystals to summon?"

Since the Adventurer's Spirit had been upgraded to Level 2,

the number of soul crystals consumed for summoning reached 40.

This made Chen Yu's heart ache.

But despite the heartache, he couldn't save a single cent of the money that needed to be spent.

"Summon!"

As he spoke,

20 rays of light instantly descended from the sky, landing on the Adventurer's Spirit in the tavern.

The light on the Adventurer's Spirit changed, emitting a colorful glow. That was the Adventurers from another world currently assigning their attributes.

Not long after, Chen Yu heard voices coming from the Adventurer's Tavern.

"Wahahaha, I'm actually a four-star Adventurer's Spirit! My combat power instantly soared!"

After Wu Yue came out of the Adventurer's Tavern, he used the iron rod in his hand to unleash a shockwave, which was a warrior's skill.

When an Adventurer's Spirit reached three stars, it would gain a skill point. Wu Yue used it to learn the most basic warrior skill.

The Adventurer's Spirit would reset upon the next login, so how to allocate skill points was up to each Adventurer, whatever felt most convenient.

After leaving the territory,

Wu Yue excitedly used several more shockwaves, one of which even shattered a large rock.

This made him so excited that he quickly pulled an Adventurer next to him and said, "Dude, do I look awesome?"

"Heh heh, no."

Bai Feifei rolled her eyes at them. "Let's hurry up and go. The deadline is only 4 hours. After 4 hours, we'll be sent back by the system. If we don't complete the mission, it'll be a huge embarrassment."

Li Ruopu nodded. "That's right. Lord Chen summoned us here, and it cost him a full 40 soul crystals. I don't want to go back and tell him that we couldn't even take down a Goblin Tribe."

Hearing these words,

Wu Yue also put away his playful attitude and straightened his mindset.

Everyone immediately rushed towards the location of the Goblin Tribe discovered yesterday.

Of these 20 people today, nearly half had changed faces. Some were eager to play the "Happy Playing Cards" Dungeon.

Others had originally come for the three sisters, Bai Feifei. After realizing it wasn't that easy to woo them, they decisively cut their losses.

However, although these newcomers hadn't been seen before, their combat ability seemed much stronger.

Especially the girl walking at the very back; her extraordinary nature could be seen just from her movements.

Her valiant and heroic appearance made even Bai Feifei, a fellow girl, unable to help but glance at her several times.
