Starting with the defeated female knight

Three times? That's less than usual...

"...fainted three times."

Then, on that day, the cathedral's administrators took a day off.

Even afterwards, he even took a rare day off.

In any case, the cathedral also contributed to the construction of New Dawn City.

In addition to the cathedral, there were various potions provided by Morfia, assistance from Tania and the Knights of Dawn under her command, and tentacles cultivated by the nuns within the cathedral...

They all provided different levels of effectiveness and received various rewards.

At the same time, stimulated by these emotions, the second beacon tentacle gradually stood up and began to slowly take shape.

And all of these things, and even some details that haven't been described, work together.

The construction efficiency of New Dawn City has been greatly improved.

What was thought to be a long-term project was actually almost completed just before the collapse of Beijing's industrialization.

In addition, there was the subsequent collapse of the empire, as well as the subsequent exploitation and continuous construction.

When the first wave of demons and monsters from the capital arrives.

The entire New Dawn City has been completed.

What unfolded before them was a colossal city that far surpassed anything they had ever seen before, and even exceeded the comprehension of all existing beings in this world; it could almost be described as a 'perfect city'.

The name is still Dawn City.

But in terms of scale, architecture, function, and various blocks, it far surpasses anything seen before.

It even surpasses the capital city.

Then, led by the man in black robes, the demons and monsters of the capital city began to roam the city of Dawn.

After wandering around for a while, they became increasingly aware of the abnormality in Dawn City.

It's not just the architecture, nor just the mental state of the people around, nor even the various novel things that are incomprehensible to us.

Even they, who had only been there for a short time, could clearly sense it.

In this place, your mind will relax unconsciously.

And for some reason, it gives you a very comfortable feeling.

But it wasn't the work of any single tentacle.

Life in Dawn City is simply very comfortable.

Only the spreading emotional field can continuously supply energy to that tentacle.

Then, after being released, it stabilizes the cognitive field in a certain area, thereby providing support for research or equipment operation.

But is Dawn City everything?

of course not.

After taking a short stroll around Dawn City.

The nobleman from the original investigation team finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question he had been longing to ask and was most concerned about.

"What about the tentacle dungeon?"

"We remember the entrance to the Tentacle Dungeon was in that area just now, right? Or has the entrance been moved?"

But this time, it was not the man in black who answered them.

It was a tentacle that was passing by on the roadside.

[Tentacle Dungeon? That one was recently closed.]

"......ah?"

Because I created a new one.

The nobles from the original investigation team blinked, then their gazes became even more eager.

"Wait? New? That means..."

Don't worry, we've kept all your equipment.

However, I must also remind you that the new tentacle dungeon may be somewhat different from what you remember.

Your gear has become somewhat outdated with each update; it'll probably only be good for keeping as souvenirs in the future.

But believe me, even though the previous guides and equipment aren't very effective anymore.

But this new tentacle dungeon, in terms of depth, breadth, complexity, diversity, and fun, will surely satisfy you.

Can't wait? Then go check it out first.

Seeing the excited reactions of the nobles from the original investigation team, the other demons and monsters from the capital were a little confused.

However, their previous performance has already proven the worth of the nobles in the original investigation team.

What excites them so much has naturally piqued the interest of the demons and monsters of the capital.

So, after the topic of the tentacle dungeon was brought up, and after a brief discussion, everyone followed the tentacles' guidance and went to the so-called new tentacle dungeon.

Then, before even entering, we heard shouts coming from inside.

"A silver-scaled breastplate, that's one piece of metal..."

"In the Poison Swamp area, let's get a healer who can cast a purification miracle."

"Holy crap, it's done! It's done! A +6 refined iron musket, anyone know what that means?!"

"Damn it, where did this dog come from?"

Upon entering, one is greeted by a bustling scene and the enormous entrance to the cave.

Not to mention the demons and monsters, even the nobles from the original investigation team were stunned.

After a moment, they all looked at the tentacle that had led the way.

The latter bent slightly, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.

Welcome to the new tentacle dungeon!

Welcome to—

Volume 1: Chapter 124: A Gathering of Heroes

Tentacle Dungeon.

This is a project that Green recently started.

Although it has a different name, it is essentially a super-enhanced and expanded version of the Tentacle Dungeon.

The original crude and simple dungeon construction was adjusted and redesigned, and many other functions were added.

It doesn't sound like a big deal.

But in fact......

The size of the caves and structures has probably expanded by tens, or even hundreds of times.

In addition to accommodating more people at the same time, it is also divided into several different sections based on the type of challenge.

In addition to providing specialized combat training, it also yields a variety of unique equipment.

Furthermore, the classification of dungeons is no longer based on a simple number of floors, but rather on a more diverse and detailed system.

Specifically, there are currently sixty challenge levels. Completing the corresponding challenge will grant you the qualification to enter higher-level dungeons.

Yes, now you don't need to fight your way through the dungeons layer by layer like before. You can enter directly once you've unlocked the corresponding challenge level.

Of course, even so, it only saves you the trouble of cleaning up those low-level junk items.

The entire instance also follows a gradual progression.

Also, through conversations with some friends, I secured some interesting sponsorships.

To put it simply, the enemies in the dungeon are no longer just tentacles; a large number of blue-eyed humanoid hostile units have also been added.

There's no need to worry. Those beings aren't living things to begin with. Even if they're blasted into dust by magic, they won't truly die.

[They might even be happy to be killed by you, and if you actually manage to kill them, they might even be quite pleased—provided, of course, that you can defeat them.]

Their strength is usually not low.

Of course, the drop rate will also be higher.

In addition to some new types of tentacles, there are also a large number of blue-eyed enemies.

Some specific dungeons may also spawn a small number of unique enemies.

[For example, there are insect-type enemies that specialize in poison and corrosion; there are pain-type enemies that are not physically strong but specialize in causing mental anguish; and there are also some oddities that are good at various things...]

You'd better prepare yourselves mentally beforehand.

After giving a brief introduction to the new dungeon, the tentacles turned to the market outside the cave and pointed around.

Of course, it's not just the expansion shown below.

I also added various accessories to it.

I won't go into detail about the team-up area and the trading market, as you've all done those before.

As for the remaining areas, there are roughly two that require more attention.

One is the 'Adventurer Registration Office' over there.

Simply put, it can record various information about you, including your profession, challenge level, and completed exploration and combat achievements.

This is considered a relatively systematic and standardized manual archiving process.

[Furthermore, it's not just about recording information.]

The Adventurer Registration Office also offers party-based services.

You can choose to make your information public and form or create a team.

[Not only will it facilitate the development of teamwork in combat and exploration, but it will also include an additional team honor system.]

Whether it's the time spent forming an organization or completing various exploration and combat missions, once you accumulate enough, you can obtain different levels of titles or honors.

Currently, only teams of 3-4 people are supported.

However, a guild system may be introduced later, allowing different teams to come together to form a larger guild team.

[But it's only a possibility, and even if it's launched, it won't be a matter of a short time.]

After saying that, the tentacle turned slightly and pointed to the other side, to a place that looked like a weapons shop, where you could see large machines inside through the glass.

That's Kelly's blacksmith shop, the place where you upgrade equipment and all sorts of things.

Simply put, you can take the equipment and materials you get from the dungeon to her and describe your requirements based on your ideas.

[As long as it's theoretically feasible, she will modify your equipment according to your needs.]

[However, success is not guaranteed, and the safety of your equipment cannot be guaranteed either.]

But you all know that, right?

Some things can only be achieved through a combination of chance and serendipity.

Moreover, a successful enhancement brings more than just an improvement in equipment.

Once it's proven that the designs or material combinations you provided are effective...

[It's possible that equipment dropped in dungeons, and even equipment dropped in Dawn City, will undergo corresponding optimizations and improvements in the future.]
