Chapter 359: Updated: Chapter 265 New Version of PV

"Sain Dungeon Annual Handsomest Monster Contest?"

"Of course, Artorias is a given."

"The Fran Undead Team totally deserves it too."

"The Biomimetic Tear Drop of the Full Moon Queen is also an option."

"The Molten Furnace Knight winning is completely acceptable."

"What the hell is a Curse Frog!?"

Looking at the Bed Weekly, which announced the Curse Frog as the top-voted Handsomest Monster of the Sain Dungeon, Dal couldn’t help but burst into curses.

This unusual behavior even made the nearby Fran Guards in training cast puzzled glances his way.

"Ahem, ahem."

He used a cough to cover up his embarrassment, crumpled the Bed Weekly, and threw it into the trash, swearing he’d never buy such a trashy tabloid again.

The weather was perfect at that moment, with a clear blue sky, and looking up, he could see the sun hanging in the sky.

Dal squinted at the sun and couldn’t help but think of the sunny day when Gapar returned from the border and secretly met him to report that he was safe.

When he saw his mentor return safely, he nearly burst into tears.

Two weeks had passed since the great Sword Saint Gapar slew the vile and evil Demon King’s blood descendant, Conrad.

Fourteen days, neither long nor short, but many things had happened in Bed City during this time.

Count Charon launched an expansion plan for Bed City, as the current size of the city could no longer accommodate the increasing number of adventurers. The city needed timely expansion to meet various needs, leading to a massive recruitment of Civil Engineering Magicians.

The food street has expanded further, and the previous food contest highlighted many high-end ingredients that people had never seen before, igniting a determination to explore the food area more deeply.

Until now, with the joint support of the adventurer’s guild and the Chef Federation, "Food Hunter" adventurers who specialize in exploring the food area were exceptionally active.

Rare ingredients, special effects, and even legendary kitchen utensils were gradually being discovered. No matter what hardships they faced during their exploration, as long as they could taste [Glowing Cuisine] made from high-end ingredients, adventurers would be reinvigorated and full of enthusiasm.

Faced with various suffocating life pressures, some people had already made food their hope in life, becoming loyal supporters of the Sain Dungeon food area.

Business around Bed City’s Sain Dungeon continued to thrive, and on some genius’s suggestion, blind box sales were introduced.

Small wooden boxes randomly contained Sain Monster statues, with hidden versions of Artorias and Topps. As soon as this product was launched, it sold out instantly, and related legendary novels were also being prepared in full swing.

Bed City had completely transformed into something shaped like Sain.

Due to the blind box craze, some people who couldn’t get the hidden versions started to critique the blind boxes, leading to one joke:

"The items in the blind boxes are placed by people with their eyes open."

By the way, Dal once spent money meant for meat treats for the wolf pack to try to get an Artorias statue, resulting in being ignored by the wolf pack for several days.

Later, he met Steeran, who spent the elves’ meal money trying to get a Topps statue, and the two of them swore never to touch blind boxes again.

Bed City also dedicated part of the money earned from merchandise sales to subsidize adventurers, offering discounts on Teleportation Crystals, rewarding adventurers with new discoveries, and so on, boosting people’s enthusiasm for exploring the dungeon.

It could be said that even after making money, they didn’t forget where it came from, showing that Count Charon was a savvy leader.

However, up to now, aside from Lake Lienia, most other areas of the Sain Dungeon had been explored thoroughly, making new discoveries rare.

The Fire Transmission Ceremony, the starting point of the Fire Transmission heroes, was now a resting place for adventurers after fierce battles. Roasting around a bonfire while watching the blue sky and white clouds had become a shared memory for this generation of adventurers, one they would likely never forget in their lifetimes.

The forest area, home to various Elite Monsters, offered materials for crafting weapons by Elu cat Forging Masters upon their defeat. Each weapon had captivating mechanics, and the head creature, the Golden Lion, often provided awe-inspiring territory battles for adventurers, gradually gaining popularity.

The Great Tomb area had now turned into an Endless Reincarnation starter, with some Meat Pigeon enthusiasts feeling uneasy if they missed a day of hunting. The head creature, the Death Ritual Bird, had become the least noticeable of all the heads of Sain Dungeon.

The food area, the most popular region, recently saw the excavation of "Life Menu," an ancient gourmet ritual, leading to it being replicated en masse by modern people. Legendary kitchen utensils, such as the Eternal Spirit Sword, were also heavily rewarded by many food hunters. Among them, the adorable Pokemon seemed poised to become the new popular Monster.

Lastly, Fran Fort, after the Fran Guard’s "first clear" of the Undead Team, had experienced a renaissance. As initial characters that deeply moved adventurers, the Undead Team still enjoyed great popularity in Bed City.

And the road leading underground that appeared after defeating the First Stage Fran Undead Team—whether the difficulty was dynamically balanced or not—had also become a hot topic, with many speculating that it led to the guarded Abyss. Everyone eagerly anticipated the opening of the underground area.
