The ingredients were quickly snatched up, and even the barbecue grills that still smelled of the food were being bought.

Gold, silver, and copper coins piled up like a small mountain in front of him. There was no doubt whether these ingredients were worth so much money; as long as they were rare items produced from the dungeon, people in this world were absolutely willing to buy them.

Jack hadn't even decided how much to sell them for when customers spontaneously started bidding.

The excitement here naturally attracted more people, but the ingredients were limited, and the final outcome was that most people didn't get anything.

So some people found Jack and inquired about where in the dungeon he had found these things.

Jack smiled without speaking.

Because he could only smile without speaking; Gong Qiying hadn't told him where the hidden map producing the ingredients was.

Everyone assumed he was deliberately hiding it to make more money in the future. Many people present immediately ran off to find companions, forming groups to search for the place producing the magical ingredients in the dungeon.

Many ordinary people present showed envious looks. They envied the adventurers who had the strength to explore the dungeon and search for ingredients. They dared not go deep at all, only doing odd jobs on the outskirts of the dungeon. On weekdays, they always saw adventurers coming out with new harvests and making a fortune, which made them incredibly jealous.

If the source of these magical ingredients was in a less dangerous part of the dungeon...

It was 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 daily life.

There were over three hundred dungeons that had been identified on the entire continent. Nearly a hundred had become empty dead cities, where monsters and rewards no longer appeared, and they even collapsed. The other two hundred-plus dungeons were still operating normally. As long as the geographical environment wasn't too extreme, there were always intelligent creatures building cities around the dungeons.

After all, there had never been a case of dungeon monsters appearing on the surface to attack others. As long as one didn't enter the dungeon, it was an absolutely safe place. To be more extreme, if there were foreign enemies invading, one could temporarily hide in the dungeon.

It was said that in the Western Continent occupied by the Demon Race, there were at least a double-digit number of unexplored dungeons, but this was not something the human side needed to consider. The Western Continent was full of 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, time to sleep, but Jack looked at the pile of gold coins in front of him, too excited to sleep.

He had never seen so much money in his life!

How great it would be if this were mine!

Wait a minute, do I need to give this money to the 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 finally overcame his greed. He sighed, packed up the money, and suddenly realized he had no container large enough to hold so much money.

Not only the barbecue grills, but even the bags containing the ingredients had been bought. According to the buyer, he wanted to use the bags as a medium to cast tracking magic or something.

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

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

However, these gazes instantly disappeared upon seeing a certain person, either abandoning their plan or temporarily retreating.

"Hey, sir, please wait a moment,"

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

Turning around, he saw a muscular man over two meters tall, the Silver Rank adventurer "Fierce" Tel.

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

Tel showed a friendly smile, although it looked a bit scary 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 a lower difficulty than other areas, and rewards that would attract the vast majority of ordinary people.

There were no rewards like weapons, magic, or items with powerful combat skills there. Instead, there were things closely related to people's daily lives: food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

The first thing he thought of was the ingredients from Toriko.

The ingredients in that manga were not only attractive and unique, but many also had a certain degree of danger. Taking the Lobster Fish as an example, a normal Lobster Fish is seven meters long, and one claw can crush an adult's head. The creature named "Roasted Whole Pig" is not only covered in steaming hot roasted meat, but is also a colossal beast like a small mountain, easily capable of trampling three or four people to death.

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

"Let's just put it next to the Swamp Area, and add a shortcut. But the shortcut has a toilet door that can only be opened from the inside, like the one Miyazaki Hidetaka encountered when he had diarrhea as a child. You have to run through the main path first to unlock it."

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

After finishing everything, he checked today's mental power income. It was neither too much nor too little, still a four-digit number.

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

"I hope I get an authority that allows me to go outside. Staying here all day is too boring."

The next day.

The moment the Zane Dungeon opened, Gong Qiying noticed a surge in traffic, more than one or two times higher than the same time yesterday.

Don't underestimate my intelligence network, you guys are here for ingredients, right!

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

The outcome wasn't a complete annihilation, but it was close to very few remaining.

The morning quickly passed. Several teams of skilled adventurers were lingering near the hidden door of the Gourmet Area, estimating that they would definitely find it before the end of the day.

But Gong Qiying's attention wasn't on these few teams. He was looking elsewhere.

In the Swamp Area, a fierce battle was unfolding.

"Senior, surrender. You shouldn't have stolen the teacher's research results. Hiding in the dungeon is useless," said a woman. Although tall, she wasn't sexy, as thin as a rack of ribs, with skin as pale as a dead person's. She tapped her staff on the ground, and the eyes of several Skeleton Monsters hidden underground glowed red, actually obeying her command.

It was the first time someone could control the dungeon's monsters. Gong Qiying sensed that he could take back control of the Skeleton Monsters at any time if he wanted to. The Dungeon Lord's control over monsters was absolute and supreme authority.

"Lina, you should know what the teacher is researching this for, and you should also understand that he only trained us two for his research."

A weathered man clutched his chest, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, looking like he didn't have long to live.

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

"Shut up, you're not allowed to talk about the teacher like that!" The woman's face was full of anger. She held her staff horizontally and shouted, "I'll kill you!"

"Then come on, do you think I'm really going to die!"

A barrage of flashy special effects clashed, stirring up the swamp.

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

These two actually didn't bring Teleportation Crystals. It seemed they weren't professional adventurers, but had just stumbled into the dungeon.

He rarely saw people who truly died in a dungeon. Even children knew to bring Teleportation Crystals when entering a dungeon.

The woman's body was very clean, cleanly poor. She only had a few silver and copper coins, a few opened potions, and a magic staff.

Rated as worse than a Meteor Staff.

"This is..."

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

The large characters on the first page were faintly discernible. They read:

Corpse Rebirth Technique.

Since everyone dislikes it, it's time for a certain someone to go offline. Anyway, it's not a beautiful girl character ()
