In Yu Lao's opinion, only those Adventurers from extremely wealthy families who had no worries about food and drink would talk about using playtimes to exchange for 'paid items'.
For ordinary Adventurers still living on the poverty line, the difference in the same Dungeon, whether they bought paid items or not, was actually not significant. If he didn't buy paid items, he could play one more time. If he bought paid items, the happiness he experienced would only be a little bit more.
The cost-effectiveness was low.
So...
Yu Lao believed that the Dungeon Lord of Tidal Town had probably miscalculated.
"It still has to be Yu Lao, so impressive. He saw through the intentions of this Dungeon Lord of Tidal Town at a glance. He thought that by offering Free Entry, he could fool us. He's really thinking too much."
"Yes, yes, it's still playing word games at the end of the day. It looks free, but in reality, there's still an intention to charge."
"So, Yu Lao's meaning is... we won't pass this proposal?"
On the floor, a few old men started talking amongst themselves.
Hearing that last sentence, a few young people in the audience seats were so anxious they almost stood up, because they had played Battle Royale and knew very well what kind of Dungeon Tidal Town would bring them.
It was a joy they had never experienced before.
Now, this joy was about to arrive, and in the form of Free Entry.
How could he let him miss it just like that...
If it weren't for someone holding them back, a few impatient young people would definitely have rushed over to have a good talk with those old men.
Yu Lao, however, was calm and unhurried. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Actually, this Dungeon Lord miscalculated. He thought that by entering our town in a free form, and then in the form of 'paid items', he could take away a large amount of soul crystal from our town. I have to say... he is still too naive, truly adorably naive..."
Yu Lao shook his head and smiled, his tone filled with mockery.
"Naive?"
"Yu Lao, what do you mean by that...?"
Everyone looked at each other.
He had clearly seen through the other party's trick, so why did Yu Lao still say the other party was naive?
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Yu Lao became even more pleased and slowly said, "This is what you don't know. Think about it, even in Dungeons with an entry fee, not many Adventurers are willing to buy 'paid items'. How many Adventurers would be willing to pay for his Dungeon, which is already Free Entry? Everyone will only think about how to take more advantage for free. Just wait and see... his Dungeon will definitely be crowded with Adventurers playing for free. Even if someone is willing to pay, it will definitely be very few. If he can break even in a day, that's already good, let alone earning any soul crystal."
"Yu Lao is right!"
"Not bad, not bad. Hearing Yu Lao say it like this, it's truly enlightening, a sudden realization!"
Below, a group of people echoed.
Someone also asked in confusion, "But Yu Lao, what if he suddenly pulls a trick where entry is free, but shortly after entering, you need to pay to unlock further content?"
Hearing this question, Yu Lao sneered, "Then he'll be even less likely to succeed. You have to know... Adventurers hate being deceived the most. This kind of behavior is a deception, and he will definitely be cursed to death."
Everyone thought about it.
They realized that it was indeed the case.
So they continued to praise this Yu Lao. Of course, no one knew how much of it was genuine and how much was feigned.
"So Yu Lao, should we pass this proposal?"
Someone asked.
The few people in the audience all thought that since Yu Lao had said so much, he would definitely agree.
But the result...
"Pass what? What benefit does his Dungeon offer to our Feichi Town? Even if it's really Free Entry, so what? Why should we do something that doesn't benefit us?"
Yu Lao said as a matter of course.
He had said so much earlier simply because he wanted to show off.
As for introducing the Dungeon, as he said, what benefit could this matter possibly bring them? Why should they do it?
In this regard...
Yu Lao had already separated himself from the Adventurers below. In the eyes of those who had formed family relationships with Dungeon Lords, Adventurer World was already divided into different classes.
They were them.
Adventurers were Adventurers.
A Free Entry Dungeon certainly had some benefits for Adventurers, but it had none for them.
If they passed this proposal, they would also have to explain it to the Dungeon Lords below. Wouldn't that be a thankless task?
"But the Dungeon in Tidal Town is really different. Many of its model designs are beyond our imagination. I think you really need to take a look!"
Next to him.
In the accompanying seats of the meeting, a young man stood up excitedly and shouted.
Immediately, the other people in the meeting seats all looked at him.
He Yuan frowned and reprimanded, "Wang He, you brat, you have no place to speak here. Yu Lao is speaking here, just listen. Don't express your opinions."
Yu Lao looked at He Yuan, who seemed to be angry, and snorted, "He family's boy, what do you mean by that? Am I, this old man... the kind of old fossil who doesn't listen to others' opinions?"
"Of course not. Yu Lao has always been wise, and his eyes have always only seen the interests of the vast Adventurers. How could he be the kind of autocratic old fossil?"
He Yuan said with a chuckle.
Yu Lao gave him a cold glance, then his gaze softened somewhat when he looked at the young Adventurer again.
"Little fellow, you just said that the Dungeon in Tidal Town is unusual. In what way is he unusual?"
Wang He obviously realized that he had been a bit impulsive. In the current Feichi Town, this Yu Lao was also an absolute authority.
He felt a lot of pressure for a moment.
But...
As soon as he thought of the vehicles in Battle Royale, Wang He's eyes became firm, as if he had made some kind of decision.
He said solemnly, "Yu Lao, you haven't been to Baiye City, and you haven't played Battle Royale, so you might not know... the vehicles created by this Tidal Town are really extraordinary. He has gone beyond the scope of 'creatures', just like riding on magical objects such as flying carpets, chairs, and brooms, but he is even more special than these magical objects. Before going there, I could never have imagined that a pile of seemingly cold metal, when combined, would burst out with such speed when you twisted the throttle..."
