Chapter 50 (1/2)

Death Arena Dungeon: Admission level 15-25, difficulty level of a five-man normal team dungeon.

Looking at the light veil in front, a line of words appeared.

Xiao Yu finally relaxed after entering the dungeon. After playing Monster Mode for too long, he was more nervous the closer he was to the cities. On the other hand, he would feel safe in such an eerie and gloomy cave or dungeon. That was quite weird.

“I’m very curious, but why do you think so highly of me? You should know that I’m just a small Goblin Boss,” asked Xiao Yu curiously as they walked deeper into the dungeon.

Dakar Rhode shook his head.” No, no, no, you’re wrong. You’re not only a small Goblin Boss, but a professional gamer that took only one week to advance from a tiny Goblin to a small Boss. Also, you were even able to gather monsters to attack the village. Such an ability is not something that normal players have. In reality, what we value is not your Boss ability—Shadow Brotherhood has tens of small Bosses like you. What we value is your ability.”

“However, I failed. Although we killed the Archdruid, we were chased out by Adventurers. The monsters under us mostly died or were injured. You think that’s counted as my ability too?”

“Failure? Haha, you’re too humble. Monsters are supposed to be defeated by Adventurers, no? This is our fate, so if you call that failure, then there is no successful monster in this world. Although we will fail in the end and be killed by Adventurer Mode players, that does not mean we cannot earn a profit from that failure. What you’ve done is very good. Although you’ve lost your tribe, your Mode has advanced into small Boss and you’ve received quite the amount of Reputation from attacking Night Whisper Village, right? Also, you escaped alive and even successfully caught the attention of many people. Thus, your actions tonight were extremely successful. How could it be counted as a failure?”

Xiao Yu was not happy from hearing Dakar Rhode’s flattering, but he became interested in Dakar Rhode. It seemed like Dakar Rhode was a sensible person.

“So you wish for me to join you?”

Dakar Rhode nodded. “That’s right. I hope you can join our Shadow Dynasty Studio.”

“That means you’re really a game studio? Are there many people in your studio?”

“There’s a few dozen core members,” said Dakar Rhode honestly.

Xiao Yu asked, “I’m very curious, but why would your studio create a Monster Force? At least now, it’s still easier to earn money from Adventurer players, right?”

Xiao Yu was not someone random—he was a Three Skeleton Level Boss before and had created a 40-man difficulty dungeon. Even so, his income per month was only $100,000, and that’s on the basis of not being killed by the plot.

Since Monster Mode was unable to directly sell the equipment dropped by Adventurers, the equipment could only be sold to the system. However, the price of selling them to the system was unimaginably low.

An income of $100,000 was already quite abundant to him, but to a studio, it would be far from enough, as there would be about 10-20 people in a studio no matter what. Thus, if the money was equally split, each person would only receive a few thousand dollars. At that point, it would be better to farm equipment to sell to Adventurer players.

Also, if one was killed by the plot, even their original capital could not be regained.

After hearing Xiao Yu’s question, Dakar Rhode started laughing heartily. “It can’t be that you think we are managing a Monster Force just to build a dungeon to kill players and earn some money from the equipment, right? Haven’t you heard of the Mirror Dungeon system?”

The so-called Mirror Dungeon was one of the functions in the game. After one created a dungeon, the Boss Mode players could only face the challenge of one team of Adventurers, but if they activated the Mirror Dungeon, then they could simultaneously face multiple Adventurer teams.

When the Adventurer team entered the dungeon, they would enter a different mirrored world. Of course, the Bosses in these mirrored worlds would no longer be controlled by players, they would have preset battling strategies and be managed by the system.
