Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Dungeon Death Battle

Gong Qiying quickly shifted his gaze away, refusing to look at the sea-blue letter.

But how could he ignore something that exudes such a strong presence?

"Damn Riddler, why can’t you be more explicit? What the heck does this envelope represent?"

Is it a challenge from another dungeon? A letter of friendship? Or will a blue genie pop out to grant him three wishes once he opens it?

The sea-blue envelope sparkled with specks of light, reminiscent of sapphires, with exquisite craftsmanship, almost an art piece. If it weren’t for the message left by the previous Gedwin, Gong Qiying would have already opened it.

Unfortunately, at this moment, this beautiful envelope seemed more terrifying to Gong Qiying than a billion killers.

"Summon a subspace miasma to gobble up this thing?"

As he hesitated, the altar lit up again, and in the blink of an eye, a grey letter fell on top of the sea-blue one.

This thing has a multiplication function!?

One letter was enough trouble for him, and now here was a second, which was really a bit...

With a flash of light, a pale green letter appeared on the altar.

Gong Qiying’s expression froze.

The light flashed again, bringing forth an amber-colored letter.

Then the light flashed once more, and an orange-yellow letter floated in front of him.

The light... orange/gold/brown/flesh/red/fiery blue/navy blue...

Letters fell like snowflakes, completely burying the altar.

Gong Qiying was numbed.

Right now, he felt as if he had signed up on a dating platform as a female by mistake.

It was like wolves circling prey!

A breeze blew, turning a page of an ancient tome, revealing words on the back of the last page.

"If you see more than one letter before you... just open them, it’s your destiny."

No, bro, your words reek of giving up on yourself!

"Compared to other ways of greeting, writing letters is the most gentle one. If you see more than five, it means that this batch of Dungeon City Lords are of decent quality. Perhaps you can look forward to making friends or forming alliances with some of them."

I’ve seen over a hundred envelopes. Does that mean all the City Lords from my cohort are paragons of civilization?

No, who knows what "quality" really means.

He picked out the first sea-blue letter from the mountain of envelopes, took a deep breath, and opened it.

Even if demons and ghosts came crawling out, he was prepared.

"To the unknown new companion: Hello, I am Linville from Ganhai Dungeon, who opened the world map a few days before you. Hehe, maybe you can call me a senior. You must be really confused right now. I was the same way at first, but luckily a kind senior guided me. So, I want to help you as she helped me. If there’s anything you don’t understand, remember to write back to me, you can use the altar. This seashell is something I found while drifting, it’s very beautifully shaped. I’ll let you take a sneak peek. Bye~"

Delicate handwriting, an adorable tone, a beautifully sketched seashell doodle, and a faint scent on the letter paper.

Wouldn’t the kitchen boy’s imagination run wild if he saw this?

"..."

Gong Qiying fell silent for a moment, his expression a bit strange.

"How does it seem actually quite normal?"

So it’s not a mandatory battle as soon as the letter is opened? Are other Underground City Lords this humanitarian?

Quite heartwarming.

He opened the grey letter next, the handwriting this time was much more rugged.

"Don’t believe Linville, that old lady pretending to be young and innocent is lusting after your body. She’ll suck you dry of everything you have. If you’re a real man, come and form an alliance with me, Panson. I’ll be waiting for you in the Giant Stone Dungeon! We’ve got plenty of good food and good booze! If you’re a woman, forget about it... unless you’re young, then it’s not totally out of the question."

...Panson, brother, your thinking is kind of dangerous, you know.

But with Grey’s warning, Gong Qiying suddenly found the sea blue to be suspicious, losing that tiny budding desire to reply.

"Can’t let your guard down for a second,"

He opened another letter, this one of a purple-black hue.

"Join us, together, to annihilate, humans!!! Annihilate humans!!! Annihilate humans!!! Long live the Demon Clan!!!"

This letter also had some coagulated slime on it, looking rather disgusting.

Lunatic...

He tossed the purple-black one aside and picked up a deep blue one.

"The Demon Clan is like stinking dog shit, join the Asta Alliance and fight to defend the sacred human bloodline. Exterminate the Demon Clan within five years, eradicate Elves, Dwarves, and Beastmen within ten years, and in twenty years extinguish all humans with impure bloodlines for the purity of mankind!"

Bro, you’re a bit too extreme.

The more Gong Qiying read, the more at ease he felt. The content of the letters was nothing like what he had imagined; they seemed more like grim jokes in a flyer.

The information left by the previous Lord Gedwin had made him think the Dungeon Lords were living in a dark forest, where revealing oneself meant certain death, but the vibe turned out to be entirely different.

He gradually noticed a pattern: the lighter the color of the letter, the more it seemed to be written by a human, or at least a being with a full set of intelligence and logic. The darker the color, the less human and the more disjointed and illogical it became.

Most of the letters contained greetings, requests to form alliances, or idle chitchat. Of course, there were also some that challenged him, trying to entice him into declaring war.

"But I don’t even know how to initiate a fight between Dungeons..."

Gong Qiying ignored those letters filled with malice.

It seemed that these envelopes weren’t as dangerous as the ancient tomes had said. Was it that the previous Lord Gedwin made a mountain out of a molehill, or had times changed?

As he continued opening more letters, a flash of light appeared on the altar, and suddenly there was another purple-black letter.

It’s from the same guy who was cheering for the Demon Clan!

"You just now, read, my letter, right? Why, don’t you respond! Why! Surely, you are an evil, human, I must, kill you!!!"

The handwriting conveyed madness, as the writer seemed to be in a state of rage.

[Evil Nest Underground City Lord--Ganago has declared a fight to the death against you, this is his first call to battle, and you cannot refuse.]

Starting a fight without so much as a word?

[The war will begin in thirty days, please make ample preparations.]

At that moment, Gong Qiying finally understood why his predecessor warned him not to open any letters.

Among the Dungeon City Lords, there are warmongering madmen too, and he was almost mislead by the seemingly harmless content of most letters.

"Now we’re in trouble,"

Perhaps he should be showing some panic right now? Or a sense of facing a formidable enemy?

But looking at his vast spiritual power, and the endless options of Available Monsters...

"First, I need to go out and gather some intelligence on the Evil Nest Dungeon. The map shows it’s to the west - so that’s Demon Clan territory, eh? In that case, it would be hard to learn anything here in Bed City since humans always know so little about the Western Continent,"

Gong Qiying looked over at the pile of letters, wondering if he should ask another City Lord.

It was risky, but going into battle with an unclear picture of the enemy was even riskier.

"Well, it’s come to this,"

He activated the Crystal Ball.

"Let’s extinguish the Bed Family first, can’t have them causing trouble."
