Days passed quickly...
The date for the 'Dungeon Duel' with Baiye City was drawing near.
Dark World.
Inside a castle, Contract Adventurer Sun Mingde stood anxiously in front of a secret room, waiting for something.
Ever since he was assigned to escort the young master Hua Zixuan, Sun Mingde had been waiting for this day to come, waiting for this day of vindication.
"The young master has been intelligent since childhood, a genius in Dungeon construction... This 'Dungeon Duel' will surely be a resounding success, not only shutting up his siblings but also earning the Old Lord ample face among other Lords."
At the thought of this scene...
A satisfied smile unconsciously appeared on Sun Mingde's face.
The status of a Contract Adventurer has always risen with that of their Lord.
As Hua Zixuan's foremost Adventurer.
In the future.
He would also become the foremost Adventurer in the area corresponding to Baiye City.
At that time, even if he returned to the Old Lord's side, he would be able to hold his head high in front of his former colleagues.
If not for this... Sun Mingde wouldn't have stooped so low as to bring out his identity as a former Guild Master to orchestrate such a scheme.
"Tidal Town, you are destined to be a stepping stone for my young master. This can be considered your honor..."
While Sun Mingde was deep in thought, the door to the stone chamber opened.
A young, slender figure walked out from inside; this figure was none other than Hua Zixuan.
"Sun Shu!"
Seeing Sun Mingde, Hua Zixuan respectfully bowed.
He held great respect for this elder, having grown to his current state largely due to his protection over the years.
Otherwise, he would have long since perished in the family's internal struggles.
"Young master, has your Dungeon been debugged?" Although he knew the answer, Sun Mingde still asked.
Hua Zixuan nodded, his eyes revealing confidence, "Of course, I've added many other elements. Currently, the Dungeon gameplay of Fighting World will only be richer, more interesting, and more complete than before."
Sun Mingde heard this.
He nodded with satisfaction, "That's good. With the young master's strength, winning this 'Dungeon Duel' will certainly be an easy matter. At that time... let the Old Lord allocate you some territory to build more Fighting Worlds, and our income will also rise, young master's future is limitless!"
Hua Zixuan, being inexperienced, blushed slightly with embarrassment upon hearing such praise.
However, he indeed had such a goal: to bring his father's territory, including the territories of other Lords, under his complete command and fully rule this area.
He wanted to become the overlord of this region.
At that time, those War Lords would have to follow his commands.
"...However, Sun Shu, have you thoroughly investigated the Dungeon that Tidal Town is using for the duel?"
Hua Zixuan was confident enough, but still spoke with some unease, hoping to gain some understanding of the opposing Dungeon.
After all, his Dungeon was essentially an open book; any Adventurer from Baiye City could get a general idea by just looking at it.
Logically speaking...
The Dungeon Lord of Tidal Town would certainly have conducted market research beforehand if they were going to use it for a 'Dungeon Duel.'
For example, letting the Adventurers of Tidal Town play it and offer suggestions for improvements.
Hua Zixuan had done all of these things, and it was precisely because of the large amount of positive feedback from Baiye City's Adventurers that he dared to participate in this 'Dungeon Duel.'
However...
To Hua Zixuan's surprise, Sun Mingde shook his head and said:
"I apologize, young master, I have mobilized all channels to investigate, but to no avail. The only confirmed news is... that during this period, Tidal Town seems to have a soul-like Dungeon that is quite popular, but there has been no news of a Battle Royale."
Sun Mingde himself was extremely puzzled by this.
This Tidal Town was simply too impenetrable; no matter how many resources he used, he couldn't get any internal information.
Many 'former Baiye City Adventurers' who were already in Tidal Town often remained silent when faced with inquiries, refusing to reveal any information.
Such a high degree of cohesion was something Sun Mingde had never seen or even heard of anywhere else.
Perhaps only those 'special areas' would be like this.
Eventually, Sun Mingde brought up some 'past favors' and 'unpaid old debts,' finally getting one Adventurer to relent, but he only spoke a few words.
This Adventurer clearly stated that the Battle Royale Dungeon used for the 'Dungeon Duel' had not been launched in Tidal Town, so they also didn't know its specific content.
Currently, the entire Tidal Town was caught in the black myth: wukong craze, with no other news.
After just these two pieces of information, this Adventurer refused to say anything more.
And he directly stated that the favors of the previous generation were of the previous generation, and since he had left Baiye City, he was no longer a person of Baiye City.
He hoped that Elder Sun, the former Guild Master, would not look for him again, as he was afraid that Guild Master Li would misunderstand.
With just a few words.
To dismiss such a heavy favor, Sun Mingde truly found it hard to imagine what kind of brainwashing magic this Tidal Town possessed.
He even suspected that the Adventurers there had been given some mind-altering drugs.
Otherwise, the cohesion would never reach such a level...
However...
Even if he couldn't get any news, it made no difference whether he had news or not. As long as Fighting World was brought out, the outcome of this match was already decided.
Furthermore...
The young master had eaten delicacies since childhood, and compared to the Lords who came from Lord World, he definitely had an advantage in terms of the food he obtained.
No matter how you look at this matter...
The advantage is mine!
This battle will surely be victorious, a single battle to decide the outcome!
Sun Mingde told Hua Zixuan his predictions and thoughts, strengthening his confidence.
He also made Hua Zixuan believe that the advantage was with him.
A mere Tidal Town was not worth mentioning.
Time gradually passed.
The Adventurers from Tidal Town and Baiye City also gathered in the same chat room on this day, waiting for the duel to begin.
They chatted idly, as a large portion of Tidal Town's current Adventurers had come from Baiye City, so they were bound to run into some acquaintances.
