President He, the head of the Adventurer's Guild, was not familiar with Lord Chen of Tidal Town, nor was he clear about Lord Chen’s strength.
He only knew that he had to consider the future of the Adventurers of Feichi Town.
Making rash decisions could truly lead to death...
Therefore, President He was somewhat hesitant about introducing the Dungeon.
However, it essentially boiled down to two problems.
First, how to persuade the other management members of the Adventurer's Guild to approve this 'introduction' proposal at the very beginning.
And not to be pushed into the position of 'traitor' because of this proposal.
The second was the strength of Lord Chen...
Could he create new speed-run Underground Cities in the future? Would he also fall into a creative bottleneck? And would their ratings drop excessively due to squeezing the survival space of their local Dungeon Lords?
During the Dark Tide, could he provide them with enough transformation cards to defend against the Dark Creatures' attacks?
This last point was extremely important, as if they couldn't hold out, their entire town would be massacred, and at that point, it wouldn't be a question of whether it was fun or not.
Regarding these issues...
President He also brought them up very directly, speaking with Li Ruopu.
In fact, if he had been rejected from the start, he might have just left and not brought up so many questions.
But now...
President He's heart was filled with longing; he yearned to once again soar through the sky or race across the ground, and he also longed for the day he could see 'BT-9577' again.
This series of longings made him stop involuntarily.
He brought them up to Li Ruopu.
Hoping to get a solution.
However, when he brought up these issues, he actually held little hope in his heart.
Because in his understanding, these problems were almost unsolvable.
The first problem, he could still risk his old life and perhaps persuade the old guys in the guild to approve the proposal, although the probability was very low, at least it seemed like a solvable problem.
At that time, by limiting the number of runs and distributing resources to the various local Underground Cities, a balance could still be achieved.
Although the local Dungeon industry would definitely be impacted.
But as long as it was well-balanced, they could at least barely survive, it was just that the town's Dungeon rating would definitely decline, and during the Dark Tide, they would certainly suffer a huge impact.
After all, the strength of the cards used during the Dark Tide is linked to the strength of the Dungeon; if the local Dungeon Lords become weaker, the cards used will also become relatively weaker.
Furthermore, if the Dungeon Lords were extreme enough, a 'sitting idly by' situation could even occur.
Today, you made me earn less soul crystals.
During the Dark Tide, I'll let the Adventurers of your entire town be buried with me.
This was not an impossible scenario.
However, these could all be put aside for now; the ultimate problem still lay with the second point...
How capable was Lord Chen?
For a Dungeon Lord, it was already a remarkable feat to defend his own area during the Dark Tide.
Let alone defending two areas simultaneously.
This was almost impossible to achieve.
In President He's view, this problem was almost insurmountable and was the biggest obstacle in his path.
However...
What President He didn't expect was that this matter, which he considered almost impossible, was, in the eyes of Li Ruopu and even all the Adventurers of Tidal Town, a matter of no difficulty at all.
Such a small problem, can it even be called a problem?
Li Ruopu smiled.
He waved to He Yuan, "President He, talking more is useless. How about this, I'll show you a video, and everything will be clear without words."
After speaking, he led the way.
President He looked at his figure with some confusion in his eyes, but still followed with a certain hope.
Finally, the two arrived at the central area of the Adventurer's Guild.
There was a large system there, which was also the system used by the Adventurer's Guild.
It stored some major events that occurred in the town.
Among them were images from the Dark Tide period.
Li Ruopu didn't waste any more words and directly asked the Tide Town Leader there to open the footage from the Dark Tide and project it onto the big screen.
Then he casually pointed, motioning for President He to watch at his leisure.
He Yuan looked at the large screen in the center with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
Only to see on the screen.
The Dark Tide descended, the Shadow World took shape, and Dark Creatures from the abyss, one after another, surrounded the Shadow World, eyeing the Adventurers inside menacingly.
However, the Adventurers in the footage seemed as if nothing had happened; they didn't choose to set up defenses in advance, nor did they enter the Shadow World in time.
Instead, they looked lackadaisical, leisurely crowding at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild, chatting.
It was as if they weren't the ones about to participate in battle; they showed not even a hint of the tension that comes with an impending major conflict.
This made President He, who was watching from outside, extremely anxious.
He anxiously shouted through the screen:
"Move, come on, move! Why are you standing still? Divide into four teams, defend from all four sides, form a formation! Oh my goodness, why aren't you moving yet?"
In his urgency, President He even forgot that he was currently watching a video.
He anxiously shouted to Li Ruopu: "President Li, such laxity won't do! If these Dark Creatures get in, it will be dangerous, people will die..."
As soon as he finished speaking.
He Yuan suddenly seemed to realize something, stopping awkwardly in place, because if they hadn't won, how could Tidal Town be flourishing so much now?
Li Ruopu smiled kindly at him.
President He also gave an embarrassed laugh.
He shut up and continued watching the video.
When the Dog Demon charged into the dark rift and launched its attack.
President He breathed a sigh of relief.
Because he remembered that Tidal Town was just a XinXing Town at that time, and it was only facing a Tier 1 Dark Tide, so dealing with these Dog Demons was indeed a very simple matter.
He thought it was just a simple defensive battle.
Defending against Dog Demons was something any Dungeon Lord with a bit of capability could achieve; it wasn't a very difficult thing.
But next...
Everything that happened was gradually shattering his understanding.
