Corpse Rebirth Technique

The ingredients were quickly snapped up, and even the barbecue racks that still smelled of the ingredients were bought for a price.

Gold, Silver, and Copper Coins piled up into a small mountain before him. There was no need to doubt whether these ingredients were worth so much money; as long as it was a rare item produced by a Dungeon, people in this world would definitely be willing to buy it.

Before Jack could even decide how much to sell them for, the customers had already started bidding on their own.

The commotion here naturally attracted more people, but the ingredients were limited, so in the end, most people didn't buy anything.

So, some people found Jack and asked him where in the Dungeon he found these things.

Jack smiled and said nothing.

Because he could only smile and say nothing, Gong Qiying hadn't told him where the Hidden Map that produced the ingredients was.

Everyone assumed he was deliberately hiding it to make more money in the future. Many people on the spot immediately ran off to find companions, forming groups to prepare to find the place that produced the Magical Ingredients in the Dungeon.

Many ordinary people present showed envious eyes. They envied the Adventurers who had the strength to explore Dungeons to find ingredients. They could only do odd jobs around the outer areas of the Dungeons and didn't dare to go deep at all. They always saw Adventurers coming out with new harvests and making a fortune, which made them incredibly jealous.

If the origin of these Magical Ingredients wasn't in such a dangerous place within the Dungeon.

It's estimated that half the city would be willing to give it a try!

This number was not an exaggeration. For the people of this world, Dungeons had become a part of their daily lives.

There were over three hundred confirmed Dungeons on the entire continent. Nearly a hundred of them had become empty, dead cities where monsters and rewards no longer appeared, and they even suffered cave-ins. The other more than two hundred Dungeons were still operating normally. As long as the geographical environment wasn't too extreme, intelligent beings would always build cities around them.

After all, there had never been an incident of Dungeon monsters appearing on the surface to attack people. As long as one didn't enter the Dungeon, it was absolutely safe. To put it more extremely, if there were foreign enemies invading, one could temporarily hide in the Dungeon.

It was rumored that there were at least a dozen Dungeons on the Western Continent, which was occupied by the Demon Race, that had not been explored. But this was not something humanity needed to consider. The Western Continent was covered in Miasma, and ordinary people could not survive there. Even if the Dungeons there were good, how many people would dare to go?

It was late at night, time to sleep, but Jack looked at the pile of Gold Coins before him, too excited to sleep.

He had never seen so much money in his life!

If only this were all mine!

Wait, do I need to give this money to my master, to that monster? It lives in the Dungeon, it doesn't need money, right?

Jack swallowed, his hands trembling slightly.

But in the end, his fear of Gong Qiying overcame his greed. He sighed, tidied up the coins, and suddenly realized he had no container to hold so much money.

Not only the barbecue racks, but even the bags that held the ingredients had been bought. According to the buyer, he wanted to use the bag as a medium to cast Tracking Magic or something.

It would be a miracle if he could find it, Jack thought to himself.

What he didn't notice was that several furtive glances were staring at him from a distance, seemingly plotting something.

But these glances disappeared instantly upon seeing someone, as if they had abandoned their thoughts or retreated temporarily.

"Hey, sir, please wait a moment,"

Just as Jack was about to go buy some pockets, a gruff voice called out to him.

Turning around, he saw a muscular man over two meters tall. It was the Silver-rank adventurer "Gutsy" Tel.

"Is there something you need?" Jack asked politely.

Tel flashed a friendly smile, though it looked a bit intimidating on his face.

"Interested in joining the Strategy Group?"

While the outside world was bustling, Gong Qiying was designing the dungeon map.

"Where should I put the Gourmet Area?"

In his vision, the Gourmet Area was a map with lower difficulty than other areas, offering rewards that would attract the vast majority of ordinary people.

There wouldn't be rewards like weapons with powerful Battle Skills, magic, or items. Instead, there would be things closely related to people's daily lives: food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

The first thing that came to his mind was ingredients from Toriko.

The ingredients in that manga were not only appealing and unique but also quite dangerous. Take the Lobster Fish, for example. A normal Lobster Fish was seven meters long, and its pincer could crush an adult's head. The creature called "Roast Whole Pig" not only had roasted meat all over its body but was also a mountain-sized behemoth, capable of crushing three to four people with a single step.

Putting these things together and designing a dedicated area as a gimmick to attract people would be quite suitable, absolutely suitable.

"Why not place it next to the Swamp Area? Add a shortcut, but the shortcut will be like the Toilet Door Miyazaki Hideo encountered when he was little – it can only be opened from the inside. You have to run the normal route first to unlock it."

To reduce the difficulty, he had also deliberately moved the monsters near the entrance to the Gourmet Area further away, hoping that ordinary people could reach the Gourmet Area without taking damage after dying a few times and gaining experience.

After finishing everything, he glanced at his Mental Power income for the day. It was a four-digit number, no more, no less.

"Another half a month, at most a month," Gong Qiying muttered to himself, "and I'll be able to upgrade my permissions."

"I hope I get permission to go outside. Staying cooped up here every day is too boring."

The next day.

The moment Sain Underground City opened, Gong Qiying noticed a surge in traffic, more than double the same time yesterday.

Don't underestimate my intelligence network. You're here for ingredients, aren't you!

Not only adventurers but also a considerable number of ordinary people entered, hoping to try their luck.

The outcome couldn't be called a total annihilation, but it was close to being wiped out.

The morning passed quickly. Several groups of strong adventurers were lingering near the hidden entrance to the Gourmet Area, estimating they would definitely discover it before the end of the day.

But Gong Qiying's attention wasn't on these small teams; he was looking elsewhere.

In the Swamp Area, a fierce battle was unfolding.

"Senior, just surrender. You shouldn't have stolen the teacher's research results. Hiding in the Dungeon is useless," said a woman. Though tall, she wasn't sexy, thin as a rake, her skin a deathly pale. The staff in her hand tapped the ground, and the eyes of several Skeleton Monsters hidden underground lit up red, actually obeying her command.

This was the first time someone had controlled monsters within the Dungeon. Gong Qiying sensed that if he wished, he could seize control of the Skeleton Monsters at any time. The Dungeon Lord's control over monsters was absolute and supreme authority.

"Linna, you should know what the teacher researched this for, and you should also understand that he trained both of us solely for his research."

A weathered man clutched his chest, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, looking like he was near death.

He gritted his teeth and said, "That old bastard wants to steal our bodies!"

"Shut up! You're not allowed to speak about the teacher like that!" The woman's face contorted in anger, and she brandished her staff, shouting, "I'm going to kill you!"

"Then come on! Do you think I'm really dying!"

A flurry of flashy special effects clashed, and the swamp churned.

A moment later, Gong Qiying teleported next to two corpses and began looting them.

These two hadn't brought a Teleportation Crystal. It seemed they weren't professional Adventurers, just people who had accidentally entered the Dungeon.

He rarely saw people actually die in the Dungeon. Even children knew to bring a Teleportation Crystal when entering.

The woman's body was clean, poor in a very clean way. There were only a few silver and copper coins, some opened Potions, and a magic staff.

Rated as inferior to the Meteor Staff.

"This is..."

The man's body was also clean, but he tightly clutched a thick stack of manuscripts to his chest, stained with blood.

The large characters on the first page were still vaguely recognizable. They read:

Corpse Rebirth Technique.

Since everyone dislikes it, then someone should be taken offline. It's not like it's a beautiful girl character anyway ().
