Faced with this question, Chen Yu also fell into deep thought.
It was indeed a difficult task to extend one's reach into other areas.
No matter where one went, this was true. Internal strife was one thing, but if there were external enemies invading, the entire area would cease its internal struggles and unite to resist enemies attempting to infringe upon their territory.
Chen Yu was currently an external enemy.
The various factions in Feichi Town would not easily accept such an outsider establishing roots in their town.
Especially the Dungeon Lord.
And those families closely related to the Dungeon Lord.
For them, this was not about whether the Dungeon was fun or not; it was about someone coming to steal their livelihood and contend for resources that rightfully belonged to them.
Perhaps for them, Chen Yu was the villain, the detestable plunderer, the bad guy who snatched their resources.
But...
The struggles between Dungeon Lords had always been like this, destined to develop in this way from the very beginning.
When they were in the same area, weren't the various Dungeon Lords constantly fighting and seizing things from each other?
From hundreds of Dungeon Lords at the very beginning, to only a few or a dozen left after fierce competition, no one felt sorry for those failed Dungeon Lords back then.
The areas within the Adventurer World also engaged in overt and covert struggles, each with their own schemes.
It was just that the conflicts between areas were not as obvious, and they were usually harmonious, which made most Dungeon Lords naively believe that as long as they won in their own area, all resources would belong to them.
After all, it was very difficult to cross regions to plunder soul crystals.
Not only was it full of various resistances, but it also particularly tested the quality of the Dungeon. If the quality itself was uneven, then why would Adventurers from other areas want to play an external Dungeon?
Furthermore.
Within an area, the Dungeon Lord's own territory was also limited and strictly controlled by the War Lord. Sometimes, even to own more territory, approval was required.
The War Lord would only grant as much territory as the Dungeon Lord could earn soul crystals for them.
Otherwise, handing over a territory to a Dungeon Lord who didn't earn money would be worse than keeping it for themselves to farm soldiers.
But no Dungeon Lord was like Chen Yu, holding two alliances in his hands, able to have these War Lords conquer any territory he wanted, allowing for unlimited expansion.
In short...
The concept of creating a Dungeon across regions did not exist in the minds of most Dungeon Lords, nor did they have such awareness.
But just because they lacked this awareness didn't mean Chen Yu had to slow down his expansion for their sake.
The Dark World was never a fairy tale from the start.
As Liu Yuanxuan, one of the Seven Chiefs, said.
If Chen Yu continued to develop, he would definitely touch the interests of those aristocratic families and attract the covetous eyes of many War Lords. Even if he only wanted to live in peace in a corner, with a large amount of soul crystals in his hands, he would not be able to live a stable life.
Since the future was destined to put him at odds with all War Lords, it was necessary to prepare in advance and intercept their financial lifelines.
Most of the soul crystals obtained by these Dungeon Lords were handed over to the War Lords as protection fees.
After receiving this sum of soul crystals, the War Lords would improve their battlefield capabilities.
Therefore, cutting off this money directly from the source would be tantamount to indirectly weakening their strength. As long as the opposing War Lords couldn't get soul crystals, then when the fighting started later, his side would only need to spend a small amount of soul crystals to win the war.
Rounding up, it also meant protecting a large sum of soul crystals from being wasted due to war.
It could be used more for infrastructure construction.
At this thought.
Chen Yu also made a decision in his heart.
No matter how difficult it was to create a Dungeon across regions, he had to proceed with it.
In the future, not only Feichi Town, but his Dungeon would also open in other areas, even if it was in the form of an agency.
Moreover...
Regarding how to successfully pass the 'Dungeon Introduction Proposal,' Chen Yu already had an idea for how to deal with it.
That is...
"Tell He Yuan that my Dungeon will be launched for free and promises never to charge an entry fee."
Chen Yu said.
Hearing this, Li Ruopu was stunned.
Wait, what did I hear...
Permanent free entry?
Even in Tidal Town's Dungeons, aside from the Steel Fortress, none of them were free to enter.
They would all charge a certain amount of happy coins as an entry fee.
The reason the Steel Fortress was free was that it was positioned as a 'brick-moving' Dungeon.
Could it be...
Is Lord planning to build another brick-moving Dungeon and use the Adventurers of Feichi Town to farm cards?
That can't be!
If it wasn't for earning soul crystals, then opening up the Feichi Town market would be meaningless.
Currently, 120,000 Adventurers from Tidal Town and Deep Sea Town are constantly 'moving bricks'.
Card acquisition was already fast enough.
To open up a new 'brick-moving' market and specifically design a Dungeon for it.
It wouldn't increase the efficiency of card acquisition much, would it?
Moreover, if the card acquisition rate was to be increased, then it would definitely involve increasing the difficulty for Adventurers and tormenting them, and the Dungeon process would also be very monotonous.
If no certain rewards were given, Adventurers might not be willing to be tormented repeatedly like this.
Perhaps at first, a large number of Adventurers would enter out of curiosity for the free and novel experience.
But once it became monotonous, they would definitely gradually lose interest.
Wouldn't that all be for nothing...
But if rewards were given, what kind of rewards should be given to the Adventurers of Feichi Town?
happy coins?
For the Adventurers of Feichi Town, happy coins had no value whatsoever!
But if other rewards were given, there didn't seem to be any suitable rewards...
Besides, they were opening up the Feichi Town market to gain more revenue, not to do charity.
If it was really for charity...
Li Ruopu felt somewhat puzzled and even a little displeased by Chen Yu's decision.
After all, no matter how you looked at it, their Tidal Town was supposed to be the core area of Great Xia Nevernight City. If there were any free benefits, they should prioritize Tidal Town, not an external area.
Although Li Ruopu would not show anything or question anything, as the President of the Adventurer's Guild, it was his duty to seek benefits for his Adventurers.
This was also due to his profession.
