That day, Gong Qiying said a lot, and the city lords also said a lot.

Some things seem amazing when they are first proposed, but when it comes to actually implementing them, we find out what problems they have. The city lords spent almost the entire day discussing the feasibility of various plans.

Gong Qiying witnessed firsthand what it means to experience the full spectrum of human nature here.

Some city lords felt that the proposed solutions were too difficult for adventurers and requested that the difficulty be lowered.

Some city lords complained that it wasn't enough, that the level of difficulty was far too lenient for adventurers.

Then, unsurprisingly, the two started arguing, and the argument only stopped temporarily when they agreed to a Dungeon War. It turns out that everyone's Wu De was quite strong.

The way the city lords act is closely related to the region they live in. The one who shouted for an increase in difficulty is in Warrior Country simple and honest people, while the one who asked for a decrease in difficulty is in a peaceful and prosperous region.

Of course, the majority of the discussions were amicable.

"Meteor Sprite don't seem to have any color variants, right? Should we paint them? But Agility makes the paint easy to disappear. Maybe we can use a different kind of monster."

"What does that achievement title mean? Oh, it's a reward for adventurers who have made special contributions. But why are there shiny characters above their heads? Well, that's interesting. I have the authority to do this kind of thing. I thought I would never need this authority in my life. Please let me be in charge of awarding titles."

"How should adventurers be ranked? Should it be based on the number of Meteor Sprite they capture, and should they be ranked across more than forty dungeons? If so, my privileges will come in handy."

With the increase in the Dungeon Lord, all sorts of permissions have emerged, and some permissions that were previously considered useless have found their use, which provided technical support for Gong Qiying's "ingenious idea".

The city lord's office is full of talented people, and they all speak very well. Gong Qiying really loves this place.

Besides the normal discussions, there were also some slightly unserious ones.

"Would you like to add Aphrodisiac Slime Meteorites? I can provide Aphrodisiac Slime."

"Hey, then I'll have to make sure my Tentacle Monster Pitfall Trap is ready too. Slime and tentacle monsters are a perfect match."

"Hey, watch your manners! You're all old folks, why are you still so sleazy? Count me in as a Goblin Horde."

"Are you guys really discussing an event?!" Rainbow Horn shouted in disbelief.

"Oh ho, then count me as a Dream Eater."

"Godwyn, even you're being indecent!"

Contrary to the gloomy atmosphere of a meeting of a group of old foxes that I had imagined, the scene was filled with imaginative ideas and a friendly atmosphere, as if I had come to a gathering of like-minded people. In the end, after much discussion, several common activities were decided.

First, the Quidditch the otherworld remains unchanged, but the target of capture has changed from the [Meteor Sprite] to the [Small Falling Star] brought from the Zane Dungeon. This is not only to replace the high-speed Meteor Sprite with the slower Small Falling Star to serve a wider range of adventurers, but also because the Small Falling Star has different colors that can only be seen by breaking its shell, which adds a lot of randomness and fun to the adventurers' capture activities.

Second, encounters will be increased. Adventurers who capture more Small Falling Star will have a higher chance of encountering Elite Monsters when returning to the reward redemption area. The types of these monsters will be determined by each dungeon.

Third, add adventurer rankings; fourth, add achievement titles; fifth, add world-class bosses; sixth, Red Fang Dungeon will reward the Dungeon Lord based on the rankings of adventurers from different dungeons; seventh...

When Chi Ya raised the seventh point, Gong Qiying couldn't help but ask, "Won't this destroy the world view of the dungeon?"

Seventh, each participating dungeon can independently provide corresponding rewards, and adventurers can freely exchange rewards from other dungeons in any dungeon according to their own wishes.

Exchange supplies across dungeons!

Moreover, it was proposed by Chi Ya, the native city lord of this world!

Gong Qiying had thought of this but didn't say anything, because it might change people's worldview of the dungeon, and he didn't know whether it would be good or bad.

But Chiya was quite magnanimous about it, saying:

"Since we've finally managed to get together to do something, and the gods have even sent a genius like you down here, we have to go all out! We are the Dungeon Lord. Demon kings and Brave will disappear into time, but the dungeon will never perish. The whole world lives off the dungeon!"

"If we are not confident in our own actions, who in the world can be?"

"How outsiders view or interpret our mutation, and what kind of reaction they will have after the mutation, is not important."

Red Fang blinked, a hint of arrogance and cunning in his eyes, and said:

"If they're so capable, let them never come to the underground city again."

The red dragon's wings suddenly spread out, and a strong wind mixed with a scorching heat echoed everywhere, showing the confidence and pride of this veteran city lord!

Dungeons have long been integrated into the daily lives of people in this world; entering a dungeon is as normal as eating and drinking.

The influence of the more than forty city lords present covered the entire continent. Could they suddenly stop coming to these dungeons because of a brief anomaly? That's impossible. More than half of the world's population relies on dungeons for their livelihood. For dungeons that are truly active, the stickiness of adventurers is beyond imagination.

Furthermore, the human community will automatically refresh the scholars' explanations for all the changes in the dungeon.

Gong Qiying smiled with relief, suddenly realizing that his previous careful efforts to maintain the worldview of the dungeon had been a bit too conservative.

Looking back, the city lords present were all rubbing their hands together, looking eager to show off their skills. Suddenly, they felt a sense of vitality and revival, as if the old men had been given a second spring.

Everyone realized the true meaning of the seventh rule—to steal adventurer traffic from other dungeons by using the unique rewards of their own dungeons!

This isn't a boon for adventurers; it's clearly a boon for dungeons, or rather, a boon for dungeons with skilled players.

This will be an unprecedented publicity campaign!

The city lords will transform into the most evil Minotaur, drawing in visitors from other dungeons!

Gong Qiying hadn't felt this excited in a long time. He glanced at his withered palms, which were already clenched unconsciously.

"I'm going to use some really good stuff to smash the adventurers until they're dizzy and disoriented."

Swearing isn't a sign of poor manners; it's a sign of high spirits!

Scratching his head, Gong Qiying felt as if yellow hair had suddenly grown on his bald, Living Dead head, making everyone look like they had a head full of green.

Chi Ya was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, feeling that this was the spirit a new-era Dungeon Lord should have. He immediately roared and said:

"Alright, everyone hurry back and get ready. Write to me when you're done."

"Before the Meteor Shower streaks across the night sky tomorrow night, let our meteors shine!"

After that, Gong Qiying left the contact information of several city lords who came to consult him on dungeon design methods, and then returned to Sain to begin the time-sensitive production.

From one to seven, all activities have the corresponding city lord's authority to support their operation, so he doesn't need to worry about anything else.

He was in charge of Activity Five: the arrangement of world-class leaders. The city lords would put out their powerful monsters for a vote to decide whose monster could serve as a world-class leader.

Since the Red Fang Dungeon provides Spirit Power for summoning monsters, Gong Qiying selected a few of his monsters with frighteningly high Spirit Power that were somewhat related to Meteor.

[Swift Dragon]

[Astel]

[Valstrax].

Xunlong:??? Am I a bit... a little out of place here?

It should be noted that the monsters mentioned above are not their strongest forms, but rather ordinary types, or even some with certain defects.

The monsters that can be summoned in the Zane Dungeon are phased. For example, Gong Qiying can now summon the "Abyss Walker" Artorias, who is corrupted and crippled by the abyss, but cannot summon the "Wolf Knight" Artorias in his prime.

The Astel appearing here is the most ordinary Astel, not the "Dark Spawn" Astel who destroyed the Eternal City in the Elden Ring storyline, let alone the stronger version "Dark Star" Astel.

The Valstrax is not Abnormality Overcoming the Valstrax or whose combat power is unknown compared to the original body. The one that Gong Qiying can summon even has some flaws, such as being smaller in size and more prone to exploding.

It's worth mentioning that when Red Fang saw the Valstrax, his eyes widened, and he immediately slapped away the mother dragon beside him.

After a series of votes, the role of world-class leader ultimately went to Astel!

This was a bit unexpected; Gong Qiying had thought that everyone would prefer the handsome Silver Winged Evil Star Valstrax.

As it turns out, the city lords seem to prefer Estée's eerie style over her handsome looks.

Although they were curious, the city lords did not ask Gong Qiying where these demons came from; instead, they looked at him with even more respect.

"Alright, today's focus is on Astel and the miscellaneous designs."

Time passed, and after working through the night, Gong Qiying and the other city lords finally presented their work.

So, as night was about to fall and before the Meteor Shower descended upon the land, a strange event began to unfold in all the participating dungeons.

In the Red Fang Dungeon, adventurers eager to slay dragons and bathe in their blood looked up at the sky and exclaimed in astonishment:

"Meteor!"

The same scene is playing out in many dungeons, where Meteor Shower have stolen the limelight from meteors outside, leaving adventurers who witness the spectacle speechless.

In the Unicorn Dungeon, a sweet couple watched as Small Falling Star fell beside them and couldn't help but scream as if they had seen an adorable creature.

In the Sticky Dungeon, an adventurer was enveloped by a falling Aphrodisiac Slime meteor, and immediately his eyes glowed red as he lunged at his teammate.

In the Boulder Dungeon, a middle-aged man who looked seven or eight parts like Leon was hit by a high-speed meteorite and gloriously returned to the Resurrection Room.

"Oh no, oh no, I accidentally set the Meteor Shower to real meteors!" The Lord of the Giant Stone City scratched his head in frustration.

The Zane Dungeon.

Fingel, who swore an oath to the Dark Moon Blade, arrived in Irithyll as an invader. He witnessed a scene where a Falling Star Beast transformed into a cute little beast, flew into the sky, and wiped out all the Light Eagle Legion's minions. Fingri then carried Iliphis and ran off, with a group of captains chasing after him, shouting and yelling.

Nobody noticed him at all.

"Did I come at the wrong time?"

Fingel stood there, bewildered, as a Small Falling Star passed by him, staring at him curiously.

"Cute little guy, how did you end up in such a dangerous place?" He touched the Small Falling Star, which felt no different from touching a stone. He then picked it up and gently tossed it far away to a safe place.

"Don't come over here again, it's dangerous."

After saying that, he picked up his knife and joined the Chasing Light Eagle Legion team.

Fingel had no idea that the Small Falling Star he had just discarded would become a treasure that adventurers would frantically pursue in the coming days.
