Valstrax Is So Beautiful
"Me? Maliciously manipulating adventurers?"
Gong Qiying felt like snowflakes were falling on his head; he was innocent.
He never really considered manipulating adventurers to stir up trouble; at most, he just wanted to add more content that people would enjoy to the monster resource pool in the skirmishes.
How dare these city lords slander people out of thin air?
He spent most of the day outside enjoying the adventurers' "festival" atmosphere and didn't pay much attention to the dungeon.
"Should I reply to Red Fang and explain my grievances, or should I watch today's dungeon replay first?"
I have a feeling that if I actually watched the replay, I might find out that I wasn't innocent, but that I really did something wrong.
But then again, what trouble could our own adventurers possibly cause to other dungeons? They're so far away.
Gong Qiying waved his hand and summoned Crystal Ball, selecting hundreds of adventurers as the main perspective and starting to rapidly rewind. However, since it caused trouble for other dungeons, it seemed pointless for him to rewind the recording of his own dungeon.
Before he could figure out what was going on, letters of other colors started arriving one after another. He randomly picked one, which was from the Boulder Dungeon.
Brother, brother, your adventurers have really put me in a lot of trouble!
My adventurers have been chased all day by your people, please have mercy and stop your attacks!
"?" A question mark appeared above Gong Qiying's head.
Pan Sen, the lord of the Boulder Dungeon, was an acquaintance of Gong Qiying, so he spoke quite politely. However, those who were not familiar with him immediately began to greet him.
For example, Glory Dungeon.
[Godwyn! Keep your adventurers in check! You bastards, don't you dare let me see your adventurers causing trouble in my dungeon again!]
This person not only brought profanities, but also crucial evidence— Image Stone.
"So, what exactly did the adventurers do?"
With a sense of awe for the adventurers' ability to pull off outrageous things, Gong Qiying turned on the recording.
Wow, it's even from the victim's first-person perspective.
The screen kept shaking wildly, and screams could be heard from the surrounding people. If you didn't know better, you might think that Godzilla had come to destroy the city.
It was quite obvious that the person in the video was also running, but he stumbled and fell to the ground. When he shakily raised his head...
"Wow!"
A strange cry rang out, followed closely by a crimson spirit that suddenly shoved its terrifying face into the camera lens.
The photo session is over.
"."
Silence filled the air.
Although I really didn't want to admit that the strange creature that was yelling and running in a bizarre way was an adventurer from my own dungeon, its red spirit body, which is typical of most invaders, and its iconic Thief Hood were undeniable proof that it was an invader from the Zane Dungeon!
Unless there's another Sion in the world!
More than one set of photos were taken, and Gong Qiying played the video sent by the Unicorn Dungeon.
In the scene, the intruder, holding a torch high, chases after the unfortunate couple while shouting "Burn, burn, burn!" Despite being the one who is attacking, he is screaming more heartbreakingly than the couple.
In addition, there were intruders covered in Flame Pot and Explosion Crystal who deliberately ran into the crowd. Whether or not anyone was killed, they certainly had a great time.
There's not a trace of desire for victory; isn't this just a pure act of revenge against society?
After reading through all the letters sent by the city lords, Gong Qiying summarized their requirements.
It's probably a way of telling yourself to keep your adventurer's chain fastened.
This request is indeed very reasonable, but it just feels pointless.
"I never imagined that intrusion could extend to other dungeons."
The current limited-time Meteor Shower event is a miracle achieved by using the authority of many dungeon lords. The most important authority comes from the Bonds Dungeon, which allows each dungeon to accept "links" from other dungeons on a voluntary basis. The description of the link is rather vague. So far, it seems to allow the authority of each dungeon to interact with each other. I didn't expect it could also link up the intrusion.
It's probably because the Bonds Dungeon expanded the range and efficiency of the links last night? Some dungeon lords complained about delays in updating their Glory Stone Tablet.
"It's not a problem to manage our own adventurers, but first, I need to figure out why these people have become so arrogant after going to other dungeons?"
In the videos sent by the city lords, the invaders all acted like vengeful murderers and psychopaths, sending chills down the spines of viewers.
But the invaders in the Zane Dungeon are not like that. Although they occasionally feed each other snacks, there has never been such a madman.
Gong Qiying sent his consciousness out of the underground city and controlled his body to wander around outside until he found a tavern that didn't look very conspicuous.
This is where the intruders whose identities have been exposed after their boxes have been opened gather.
When the Dark Moon Blade first became popular, a large number of invaders were exposed and severely punished. Many lost their will and spirit to fight. However, there were always tough guys who persevered. These tough guys who were exposed gathered together and became Furious Rajang enthusiasts of invasion, no longer even wearing hoods to conceal their identities.
Even now, the invasion is still reeling from the blow dealt by the Dark Moon Blade. The remaining members of the tavern are hardliners who persisted in their invasion even in the face of the Dark Moon Blade. They must have some connection to what happened today.
After sitting in the tavern for a while and asking around among the bartenders he knew, Gong Qiying basically understood what had happened.
It turns out that the invaders had suffered setbacks recently due to the Dark Moon Blade's explosive popularity, and they were all holding a grudge.
However, the Dark Moon Blade are numerous, and those who can enter Irithyll to swear an oath possess considerable strength and are not easily subdued weaklings. Therefore, although the invaders are seething with anger, they cannot sound the horn of counterattack for the time being. If this goes on for too long, they might even get sick from anger.
Today, when the invaders accidentally discovered that they could suddenly invade other dungeons, they found a very good outlet for their frustration.
Invading other dungeons means that no one knows you, no one can find you, and no one can retaliate against you.
Now is the time for the invaders to vent their anger!
That's why the bizarre actions of those strange creatures in the images that Gong Qiying watched were so outrageous. It's just that the environment has changed, and the invaders are overjoyed again.
Not only were they overjoyed, but they were also spreading the word, urging more people to come and have fun.
"It's not that their behavior is incomprehensible."
This is not only a new invasion environment, but also because adventurers from other dungeons lack experience in fighting against the five monsters in the game. Throwing a group of invaders with rich experience in human combat into the game, coupled with the fact that they are all eager to take revenge on society, will probably cause more damage than the monsters in the skirmish.
Thinking of this, Gong Qiying couldn't help but feel sorry for the other adventurers in the dungeon, and at the same time felt a little ashamed of the sins he had unintentionally caused.
So he made a decision.
"Splash!"
Soon after, he swept all the letters off the Shrine and lay down on Shrine.
I started sleeping soundly.
They completely ignored it!?
He didn't completely ignore it; he replied to a few acquaintances, but didn't take any action.
The third day of the limited-time Meteor Shower event.
Originally, people would have thought that the entire event would consist of only three parts: adventurers scrambling for Small Falling Star, outwitting and outfighting monsters in encounters, and collectively defeating Astel, since that was what the city lords had designed it to be.
However, the arrival of a group of red guys changed the expected harmonious scene.
This accelerates the overall trend towards an increasingly bizarre and outlandish style.
"Hey, those red guys are here again! Stop catching them and get ready to fight!"
"These are the invaders from Sion? Hey! Don't come any closer!"
"Didn't we just defeat one wave yesterday? How come another group has come? There seem to be even more of them than yesterday!"
"I'm so scared! Just how evil must the Zane Dungeon be to raise adventurers like this?!"
The dungeons that were fortunate enough to be invaded by the adventurers of the Sain-type have changed their style and become a game of tag.
Even the weakest invaders can find their own ways to cause trouble. They are like artists pursuing art, just to come to other dungeons and perform the terrible things they have come up with, leaving people with psychological trauma before making a glorious exit, regardless of the kill rate.
Because killing adventurers from other dungeons doesn't yield souls, but rather oath items, humanity, and random items.
Red Fang Dungeon.
Standing atop the high mountain, Chiya looked down at the chaotic scene of adventurers and invaders below and sighed silently.
This was the first time in all these years that he had seen adventurers so energetic; they were so vibrant and youthful.
The invaders from the Zane Dungeon have undoubtedly disrupted the normal course of the event, and the city lords are in an uproar. As the administrator, he should intervene.
But
"Null--"
A gigantic, silvery-white body, spewing dragon energy, streaked across the sky like a jet fighter.
Upon seeing that elegant and beautiful figure, Red Fang swayed his entire dragon body, his tail unconsciously swaying from side to side, and his eyes softened.
"How beautiful, Valstrax."
Just looking at that beautiful figure makes you feel like you can live a long and healthy life.
That's right, the reason why Chi Ya ignored Gong Qiying was because the other party had given too much.
The opponent has added the Valstrax to their monster resource pool for skirmishes!
Not only Valstrax, Gong Qiying also gave him a page of illustrations, letting him choose which ones he wanted to add to the resource library.
Although it can't compare to the beauty of the Valstrax, I think the Female Fire Dragon is extremely charming, the Mizutsune is very beautiful, and the Kulve Taroth is also captivating!
This finally fulfilled Chi Ya's wish to catch a glimpse of her beauty. He was dazzled and overjoyed, and his affection for Gong Qiying increased significantly.
So he turned a blind eye to the invaders from Sain.
Unfortunately, his current body has no desire for that kind of thing; he can only feast his eyes on it. The resource library will also disappear after the event ends, so he has to take advantage of this time to look at it properly.
"Godwyn, oh Godwyn, you've finally caught me," Red Fang chuckled and shook his head, muttering to himself, "But if everyone gets angry, I won't be able to control things. You'd better keep your temper in check."
Gong Qiying has never disappointed when it comes to striking the right balance.
While adventurers in other dungeons were being tormented by invaders all day, and the city lords were indignant, he wrote a letter to everyone.
I overslept and forgot to read the letter, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Unfortunately, invading has become a daily occurrence for my adventurers that I can't stop, so sadly, I have no way to control them.
[But don't get angry yet, everyone. I have an even more fun suggestion to liven up the event. I've already sent over all the necessary props to explain how.]
Since I can't stop it, why don't we all get involved?
Along with Gong Qiying's letter, what was delivered to the various city lords was Cracked Blood-Red Eyeball Orb specifically for invasion purposes.
Boxes and boxes.
An era of vibrant life and flourishing diversity is still before our eyes.
