VIP Chapter 209: Tenth Demon City x Mountain Village Dungeon
As soon as they stepped through the door of the dungeon.
Entering the “internal” space of the dungeon, Will’s vision flashed with a white light.
And then…
Before them was a brightly lit hall, with neatly arranged tables and chairs in red and black.
As a dungeon in the remote Tsimat Town – the Tenth Demon City, it was naturally difficult to see adventurers here.
But…
It was by no means a “deserted” place.
“Welcome! Ehehe, what a… what a distinguished guest!”
“Two, this way. The largest and most luxurious VIP seating has been prepared for you.”
Because of the low-level “demons” described earlier, holding a menu board, shaking their small wings and pointed tails, and sticking out their bright red tongues, they scurried over.
And these little demons flying in the air…
There were more than a dozen of them at a glance?
Then they reached out towards the interior.
*Crack!*
*Crack!*
*Crack!*
In the already bright hall, a few more warm, reddish lights turned on, making the distant seats shimmer like gold.
While Will was still stunned, wondering “Is this really the first floor of a dungeon?”, he found himself being grabbed by his clothes by the demon behind him and suspended in mid-air.
In just a few minutes…
The two of them were seated at the distant seats.
“Hello, please take a look at the menu. Sorry, because we don’t know how to write human language, the dishes can only be drawn.”
A small hand reached up from the edge of the table and gently slid the “menu” in front of the two.
This is…?
Standing below the table was a slightly “more advanced” demon.
Her wings were smaller, her skin was close to human white, and apart from the horns on her head and her tail, she retained some features, making her more like a “monster girl with demon elements.”
She looked like a human girl of seven or eight years old. Because the table was a bar-height table, she even had to stand on her tiptoes to bring up the menu.
“This…”
Will didn’t know what to say for a moment.
In a quiet mountain village inhabited only by ordinary residents.
There sits a mysterious place that only lights up at night.
And the service staff inside are strange demons with wings on their backs.
…
It sounds like some urban legend.
But…
It was indeed happening in Tsimat Town.
Will’s current feeling was primarily surprise, but more than the surprise at “this bizarre appearance,” he was more surprised by…
How did the Hysterm Family’s most coveted dungeon entertainment become a reality in a dungeon in such a remote little village?
Will was a little…
Afraid to move.
He felt that whether it was ordering food or playing here, it was all part of the dungeon’s “trap.”
They are demons, how could they have a kind heart?!
Meanwhile, Shuna slid the menu in front of Will.
Looking at the menu…
It was also drawn in red and black. The red was the blood of the food, and the black was some kind of “ingredient” they used for cooking. For a moment, it was hard to tell what ingredients they were using.
For example, a black blob with brain-like patterns.
It looked a bit like something from “Looking Up at the Stars.”
There was also a dish made of eyeballs.
Even the bread was a big, dark lump.
“Are you really going to order from here?” Will lowered his voice, “Shuna, is this place okay?”
“Haha, I really like your flustered expression. Don’t worry, I’ve eaten here before. Although it looks strange, it surprisingly replicates the original taste of the dish. It’s fine for filling your stomach. If you have an upset stomach, I can treat you.”
Shuna said this with a smile!
“No, no, I mean… I mean… could this be some kind of trap? Are we in an illusion… or something?”
As soon as Will finished speaking, Shuna’s fingers were already pinching his face.
Shuna’s fingers were surprisingly delicate and smooth, unlike some older adventurers whose hands were rough and scarred from constantly wielding swords.
“Do you feel that?”
Will wanted to tease her.
“No.”
Shuna pinched him again, fiercely.
“Okay, okay, it hurts now.”
At this moment, a small head popped out from where the menu had been brought over, it was the little demon who had brought the menu.
“G-guest… please don’t dislike us. Although we know our cooking is a little bad… but… but we will definitely not harm you…”
She sounded like she was about to cry!
Tears were already welling up in her eyes!
She was just about to break down.
This is also a demon trying to trick people, right?! Trying to trick people, right?!
Will looked at Shuna in disbelief, but Shuna was stroking the head of the little demon between her horns.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. He’s here for the first time and is not familiar with this place. Hmm… this sheep brain looks good. Make that for us first.”
“Then… then I’ll have this… this black bread next to it…”
After much hesitation, Will still chose the most conservative option: the bread.
“Okay! Thank you very much! Then, then, then, then… Little Anqi will go cook now.”
She wagged her tail and left.
After watching the little demon leave, Shuna finally spoke:
“The first time I came here, I also thought I was under an illusion. I was very nervous and cast several illusion-blocking blessings on myself.”
“And then?”
Shuna didn’t tease Will any further.
“Nothing. It’s just like this here. These little demons are just like this. They cook for you, play various strange entertainment facilities with you, and even give you all sorts of resources produced here.”
As she spoke, Shuna rummaged in her pocket and took out several black stones. They looked no different from stones picked up on the street.
“For example, this is indeed a low-level material dropped by demon-type monsters. They didn’t trick me.”
“…”
Will stared at the stones on the table.
They weren’t even raw materials dropped directly; they had slight traces of carving.
A dungeon that feeds you when you enter.
A dungeon that puts the customer first.
A dungeon that gives you souvenirs.
Without a doubt, this dungeon was an anomaly.
— At this point in time.
After the Hysterm Family completely unified the dungeon system, there would be many such dungeons. Upon entering, there would be no “death by accident” levels or monsters, only beautiful environments with “a touch of adventure.”
But not now.
However…
Indeed, this “original work” setting seemed very strange. How did the Hysterm Family transform “dungeons” into that kind of place?
“But, Will, I think we came to the right place.”
Shuna clenched the small black stones on the table in her hand. She seemed to cherish these “materials” even more than the higher-level materials she obtained elsewhere.
“Since this is a special dungeon, it must have the answers we are looking for. Places that are all the same will never hold the solution to special circumstances, right?”
Shuna’s eyes were exceptionally determined.
This point perfectly matched the characteristics of a “God-Attuned.”
Humans who are gazed upon by Reviers, humans who carry the blessing of “a lifetime of exploring dungeons.”
