“Extra, extra!”
“Another one has fallen in the Huaxia Central District! I must earnestly remind all compatriots not to easily venture into the Central District to sample those Huaxia delicacies. We must wait until our taste ranks are higher before going.”
Adventurers watching from afar rushed around.
They reminded their companions who had come from Gourmet Town with them.
If a single bowl of noodles at the intersection possessed such magic, how delicious must the dishes be in those brightly lit, seemingly luxurious restaurants deeper inside?
Huaxia cuisine, merely the tip of the iceberg, made these Adventurers hesitate.
Impossible...
Absolutely not to be provoked at this moment!
The Adventurers in Gourmet Town shared a common thought.
Before their taste ranks improved.
They must absolutely not provoke those top-tier foods. They should start with the simplest foods. At this stage, those who could withstand foods like lamb skewers and Peking duck without fainting were already considered to have top-tier tolerance.
“Great! I withstood the power of the lamb skewers.”
“Congratulations! Your taste rank has improved. You are now a Lamb Skewer Conqueror.”
“You're doing well too. You successfully conquered the Roujiamo.”
“I wonder if I can challenge Peking Duck now?”
“No rush, no rush... there will be plenty of opportunities later anyway.”
As the Adventurers conversed, time flew by.
Outside.
The Adventurers of Tide Town were getting a bit numb from waiting.
“What's going on?”
“Half a day has passed. I've already eaten lunch, and they still haven't come out.”
“What exactly is inside this 【Gourmet Corridor】?”
“I don't know. Seeing how those guys from Gourmet Town are reluctant to come out, it must be really fun.”
“No... it should be really delicious!”
After all, people from Gourmet Town only knew how to eat and cared about nothing else.
Having not come out for so long, the people outside speculated endlessly, curious about what kind of delicacies inside could have kept them hard-controlled for such a long time.
To see the results of this ‘Dungeon Duel’.
The Adventurers of Tide Town had waited for a long time, yet the results had not appeared.
It wasn't just them.
At this moment, even the Adventurers outside Gourmet Town felt a bit suspicious.
What the hell...
Why hasn't this Dungeon round ended after such a long time?
What exactly is happening inside?
Another person with such doubts was, of course, You Xiaoxiao.
Earlier, she had been full of confidence.
She believed that even if it was a draw, it didn't matter; since she finished the duel first, the winner should be her.
But now...
Seeing that the challengers from Gourmet Town hadn't appeared for so long, You Xiaoxiao also started to panic.
The longer the time.
The more it indicated that things were a bit unusual.
“It doesn't matter...”
“The winner will only be me, it must be.”
As soon as she finished speaking.
The scoreboard in the middle of the void changed.
455:5.
You Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, “Did 5 people come out? It seems to be a team Dungeon!”
455:10.
“It seems quite difficult. Are they all team wipes?”
455:15.
...
455:450.
The numbers were rising rapidly, always in increments of 5.
You Xiaoxiao naturally assumed that the other side was a team Dungeon, just that it took a bit too long.
455:455.
“Indeed, the entire team was wiped out. It seems this team Dungeon is quite difficult. Playing for so long, and the final result is a team wipe, what a pity.”
You Xiaoxiao said it was a pity, but a smile still hung on her lips.
It was a confident smile.
But this smile didn't last even half a second.
It froze.
Because that number didn't stop, it was still rising rapidly.
And it was rising faster and faster.
455:460.
“Impossible, how can this be?”
You Xiaoxiao's mouth gaped open.
“How can the number of soul crystal continue to rise…”
455:465.
...
455:1855.
After jumping to this number, You Xiaoxiao's wide-open mouth had become somewhat stiff.
She never thought.
Such an absurd ratio would appear.
You Xiaoxiao had considered many possibilities.
She also thought she might fail.
But at most, it would be a difference of 5 or 10 points, which would already be the limit. How could she have imagined that the score difference was now 1400 points?
What terrified her the most was...
This number was still rising.
In a short while, it had already reached 455:2000.
Finally.
It even settled at 455:2275.
At this number.
The score on the scoreboard no longer changed.
You Xiaoxiao's suspended heart finally died.
1:5.
If calculated by soul crystal, she only harvested the first round of soul crystal. The other side, seemingly also only harvested one round, but in reality, they harvested 5 times in this round, with each person taking 5 soul crystal.
What You Xiaoxiao found most difficult to accept was.
The 455 pieces she obtained were forcibly taken from the Adventurers of Tide Town. The delicacies in her food city were hardly eaten. In other words, virtually no one bought into it.
If it weren't for the 100% death setting, You Xiaoxiao even suspected she wouldn't have gotten a single soul crystal in a round.
On the other hand.
Being able to take 5 soul crystal in one round meant that the challengers from Gourmet Town willingly offered their soul crystal, rather than any forced action.
From this perspective.
It could be said to be a complete massacre.
