Chapter 5: Dungeon Advisors
After spending a while writing down the task requirements, Chen Zhou went to the tavern "Malt Qingfen" not far away alone.
It's said to be a tavern, but it's actually more like an open-air food stall, so it's no wonder that it doesn't start until near night.
"Boss, have a glass of ale."
After a while, the bear-like boss personally served the drink.
No, it's a humanoid creature with obvious bear-like characteristics, and anyone who puts it in the main material will turn it into a bear.
Xiong Shoutian, a scholar and philosopher among the Gaiding Celestial Clan, is known for his benevolence and wisdom, and usually possesses a Rank 6 mage-level spellcasting ability.
In Elysium, which is full of celestial creatures, such a being might even work part-time as a tavernkeeper at night...... After all, even the quasi-gods of Elysium might open an amusement park.
didn't care too much about this kind of trivial matter, Chen Zhou chose to go straight to the point.
"Thank you, do you have a service for posting tasks?"
The boss looked at the guest as usual: "Of course, there are many travelers here. ”
Although he wondered why the other party didn't send the task to his priest or oracle.
So Chen Zhou handed the details of the task they had written to Boss Xiong Shoutian.
"This, this is ......"
The boss's reading fetish flares up on the spot and quickly sweeps over the contents.
Scratching his head, it's weird, take another look.
It wasn't until the second time he watched it that he was convinced that the other party wanted to build a dungeon for entertainment.
It's simply ...... Conceived in Elysium!
Many old Elysium people may not be able to make this kind of eye-catching work.
"A team of mages who are good at bruising, high-level shadow mages, and advisors who are well-versed in dungeons, this particular task needs can take a while to find the right people."
The tavern keeper analyzed while posting the quest notice: "Generally, it is the caster who specializes in spell duels who deliberately practice non-harm magic, and the good casters of Elysium usually learn related super magic, so such a mage team is not difficult to find."
"It may be more difficult for a spellcaster who is proficient in phantom illusion (shadow mage is preferred), after all, there may not be a professional illusionist out of a hundred mages, and the probability of finding it among gnomes is higher.
"As for the advisors who are well-versed in dungeon knowledge...... Do you think I can? ”
"What?"
Chen Zhou didn't react for a while, he asked the tavern owner to issue a task, but he didn't say that he asked the tavern owner to take the task.
The boss nodded and repeated earnestly, "I think I can handle the task of a dungeon knowledge consultant." ”
Bear's dislike of fighting, love to share his knowledge, and is often an advisor to the Lion's Divine Envoy and a chronicler of the history of Elysium.
The long years have allowed them to accumulate a wealth of knowledge, and as creatures backed by Elysium, they may pull up a group of Elysium masters at any time when they encounter trouble.
This means that Chen Zhou's recruitment of a bear on the first day is about equivalent to recruiting dozens of his kindred.
"And what about your tavern?" Chen Zhou was puzzled.
"It can be given to someone else, and whoever runs the tavern is the same, it's just to give the townspeople a place to chat."
In contrast, going to the main physical side to run a dungeon is too much fun.
Chen Zhou readily agreed, had an in-depth exchange with the tavern owner, and made a short interview.
The boss's name is Davis, and he is one of the countless bears in Elysium, his age is unknown, but it seems to be about the same as the tiered caster class of Chen Zhou.
In addition to Xiong Shoutian's innate talent for divine arts, Davis is also an eighth-order mage and a mentor to many of the Guardians of Bahari.
As a scholar of all kinds, he certainly has a good knowledge of famous dungeons in various planes, so there is no doubt that he is qualified to be a dungeon consultant for amusement parks.
The only problem is that Chen Zhou doesn't seem to have any reward worth caring about for this kind of bigwig (although it is common in Elysium).
"I don't need a salary, just let me open a few chain taverns in the dungeon!"
Davis didn't even hesitate before giving up the reasonable reward: "And I can also set up puzzles, traps and tests for the dungeon, so that those tourists can have a more interesting and three-dimensional dungeon experience!" ”
Chen Zhou suspects that the puzzle will only make tourists angrily dig out the wall with the adamantite gold ear scoop, rather than honestly solving the puzzle according to the process.
"That's all?" He asked.
"I'm sure that through those services, we can subtly influence tourists and adventurers to become more noble and valuable people while having a happy experience."
It's called entertaining.
Chen Zhou became more and more uneasy, teaching players to play games is a minefield, and the game must first make people happy.
However, the joining of an eighth-order spellcaster, scholar, and historian will definitely put the dungeon construction on the right track, and the rest can only be slowly adjusted and considered.
So, on the first day of coming to the Elysium, their "Bliss Pure Land Rescue Plan" was smoothly advanced.
In the middle of the moon, when guests from all over the Paradise and other planes came to party all night, Davis was still talking to his employer about the knowledge of the dungeon, and even digressed to the beginning of the opening of the world......
"Ahem, why don't you talk about how you plan to build a dungeon?"
Rao is Chen Zhou, who has a lot of immunity, can't help but feel dizzy, and can't help interrupting Xiong Shoutian's train of thought: "At that time, I will let the pastor lead the construction team, and strive to complete the construction within the year to welcome the first batch of guests." ”
Davis pondered for a moment, picked out the most important part of the dungeon and analyzed: "First of all, we don't need to invest too many ice beasts or phantom illusions, a single monster type will make adventurers feel bored and lazy, and changeable enemies can cultivate their ability to deal with complex environments." ”
In particular, Chen Zhou and Lily have one thing in common with the two enemies they envision, that is, they don't eat sneak attacks and a lot of control and weakening, which will make the tourists who are proficient in this profession (such as thieves, poets, illusionists, magicians, and enchanters) lose their fun.
"So monsters such as animals, plants, magical beasts, and elementals are necessary, and there must also be random templates such as ghosts, clusters, and dragon blood to make the encounters of the entire dungeon random.
"Of course, considering that overly complex monster settings can fatigue the adventurer's mind rather than entertain it, visitors can be asked to draw or choose a theme at the beginning of each dungeon exploration.
"For example, nature themes can have enemies such as animals and plants, magical beasts, insects, etc., and the enemies, traps, and puzzles faced by different themes will also be different.
"At the same time, since there are creatures in the dungeon, it is necessary to consider the ecology formed by these creatures and the environment, and strive to build a fixed dungeon for each theme."
"Isn't that too costly, and what if the enemy suffers casualties from living creatures?" Chen Zhou put forward his opinions in a timely manner.
Faced with his employer's doubts, Davis replied confidently: "Wouldn't it be better to find a legendary mage to set up a mystical barrier?" ”
