Chapter 198: It must be a scam

After a long silence,

the forum blogger stopped overthinking and immediately copied the ID of the Battle Royale Dungeon.

Then, he opened the forum.

He first guided the path, uploaded the Dungeon's link, and then wrote thousands of words on basic gameplay and game insights.

By the end, he praised the game to the heavens.

Something like... "White Night City's future rising star."

"It will surely spark a new trend."

"Its gameplay and concepts are top-tier in the industry, and its content breaks free from the low-brow tastes of the magic world. The Dungeon Lord's research into magic and alchemy is the ultimate in the industry."

"..."

This forum blogger wasn't very famous, but he did have some recognition.

As soon as he posted,

people immediately saw it and replied with comments.

"Isn't what the Landlord said too exaggerated? It's just a Dungeon. No matter how excellent the gameplay or how advanced the content, it's just that!"

"Yeah, no matter what, the framework won't change much. After all, the Dark World's structure is already there. No matter how much those Dungeon Lords' thoughts diverge, they can't escape their cognitive framework."

"It's still a magic world, and it's already been fully explored."

Without exception, the replies expressed disbelief, thinking it was just a promotional tactic for a certain Dungeon.

However, to have a forum blogger promote it for him, the relationship between this Dungeon Lord and the Adventurers must be quite good, and it should have some foundation.

Dungeon territories that have existed for a long time will more or less have some interaction with Adventurers, and their Contract Adventurer will also have real-life friends.

Therefore...

promoting Dungeons on forums isn't that unusual.

At this moment, a different voice suddenly said, "You guys are being too dismissive. Actually, before I moved to White Night City, a different world structure appeared in my town. I won't even mention the monsters, but those things called firearms are truly amazing. They can't be made with ordinary magic and alchemy..."

The Adventurer who spoke was a bit emotional and wanted to say more.

However, others didn't buy it.

"Come on, what would a country bumpkin from the countryside know?"

"Someone from a small town, what kind of world has he seen!"

"He talks about it as if it's so magical, but in reality, it's just some re-skinned alchemical substances. They just changed the name, and it made this bumpkin act like he's seen something amazing."

"It's truly laughable."

As a city dweller, he looked down on those from the countryside from the bottom of his heart and spoke without reservation.

"As a professional Dungeon explorer streamer, it's my duty to combat all kinds of fake Dungeons. This time, I'll go experience this Dungeon for everyone first. But I'll say this now, this forum blogger is definitely exaggerating. If not, I'll eat shit upside down. Everyone, wait for my news."

After he finished speaking,

the person who claimed to be a professional Dungeon explorer streamer followed the link path, found it, and joined the team.

【Forming Team: 11 / 100】

The Dungeon explorer streamer couldn't help but sneer when he saw this number.

While queuing,

he returned to the forum and found his previous comment.

There were many replies under his comment, such as "Thank you for your hard work, boss.", "Tag me as soon as you have news.", "Let's all hammer the unscrupulous blogger together."

There were dozens of these replies, and many people were concerned about the veracity of the content.

Among them were also some fans of the Dungeon explorer streamer who found their way there by following the comments.

Seeing that the popularity was decent,

the Dungeon explorer streamer smiled contentedly and commented below:

"Brothers, we can basically give this Dungeon a death sentence. It's definitely a money-grabbing scheme."

"What does the streamer say?"

"You came out of the Dungeon so quickly? Is it an instant-death Dungeon?"

"An instant-death Dungeon would be too much."

"No, no, no..." the Dungeon explorer streamer replied, "In fact, I haven't even entered yet. The reason I made this judgment is because this Dungeon actually requires 100 people to open once, 100 people... can you believe it, brothers? This is taking money-grabbing to the extreme!"

As soon as these words came out, other Adventurers who saw them couldn't help but speak up.

"100 people? That's outrageous!"

"What kind of Dungeon content requires 100 Adventurers to start? As expected, you don't even need to think to know it's definitely a money-grabbing scheme. They're probably afraid of people finding out the content if they trick them one by one, so they just trick 100 at once, right?"

"This Dungeon Lord really has good methods; he plans to make back his investment in one go."

"..."

Such comments spread throughout this forum.

It was truly rare in this world to see a Dungeon that required 100 Adventurers to start. Most were 4 or 5, and being able to gather a dozen people at once was already the maximum.

Let alone 100 people.

Their first reaction was: a scam! It must be a scam...

Therefore,

besides the first batch of Adventurers and their relatives and friends whom they brought along, no other Adventurers were attracted to join the team.

The promotion on the forum seemed to have no effect, and only the Dungeon explorer streamer was quite dedicated and did not cancel the team formation.

Perhaps he wanted to use this opportunity to boost his own reputation.

The forum blogger who posted the thread was too lazy to bother with these guys. Believe it or not, he had already entered the Dungeon after the previous team filled up.

As the first wave had already departed, the progress of the second team formation was even slower.

The Dungeon explorer streamer waited for a long time, but the number of people only reached a little over 30, still dozens short of starting.

In a certain strategy group in White Night City,

a young man followed the forum link and found the town's recommended spot. He looked at the Battle Royale Dungeon in front of him, slightly dazed.

"It really is a Dungeon recommended by a small town below. From the blogger's description, why does it sound so much like the firearm technology from Resident Evil back then?"

"Could this really be from Tide Town...?"
