Start a Dungeon

Chapter 3 Frog Race

According to the data on the screen:

The first floor has the largest passenger flow and the most stable mood.

Here, more than 500 to 600 adventurers come here every day, and most of them are concentrated in the area with fewer slimes. Over time, humans have established temporary settlements there, which are also safe zones.

There were people setting up stalls and shouting, people selling fake medicines, people selling equipment, and people standing there all day long chatting with nothing to do.

Of course, another major function here is to allow each adventurer team leader to recruit mercenaries from the past. After forming a good number of people, they can start adventuring.

"Although the number of 500 people is only a drop in the bucket compared to the human cities outside, the emotional fluctuations they exude are also considerable." Lott said while holding his chin and looking at the virtual image in front of him.

Only when humans come to this underground city will the emotions exuded by them be absorbed and converted into energy. When they are outside, it has nothing to do with Lot in any case.

"Let's open the lottery shop there for trial operation."

After Lot said that, he called the goblin leader over, told it the plan, and then sent it away.

After a while, the leader said everything was ready.

"Everyone!"

Lott held onto the railing and shouted at the goblins in white coats below. Then all the elves stopped moving and looked up in unison.

"let's start."

"oh--!"

The goblins raised their arms in excitement. When they learned that they were going to build a building that could arouse the extreme emotions of humans, they were all excited - could they finally get paid?

"So what's in the first scroll room?" Maria asked respectfully from the side. She didn't quite understand why the goblins below and the lords next to her were so excited.

"Let's race frogs." Lott replied with a meaningful smile.

On the huge virtual screen in front, a large store was quietly located in the rest area, and the humans passing by seemed not to see it.

"Disguise lifted."

Following Lott's order, the lottery room marked with a frog pattern and flashing various neon special effects was officially opened for business.

As usual, Gil was wearing leather armor and carrying a big sword, walking from the second underground floor to the first floor.

He weighed the money bag in his hand and kept sighing. When he was passing by a patch of grass just now, he accidentally encountered a monster, but the monster seemed to be frightened. He dropped a bag full of gold coins and disappeared.

"It's just a stroke of luck. Something out of the blue happened to me, haha."

Just when Jill was planning to do something with this windfall, she suddenly found that the original rest area was crowded with people, and everyone was squeezing into a seemingly large house.

"Run frog??"

When Jill got closer, she looked up at the signboard and was a little confused for a moment. What is it? Was there a building like this before in this place? ?

But then he understood what this store was about - the subtitle said three characters: Lottery House.

"Haha, let me try my luck!"

The mercenary rubbed his hands excitedly and quickly squeezed into the crowd.

When I got inside, I realized that almost all the adventurers had arrived. Fortunately, the space was big enough, so I could barely squeeze through.

At this time, the surrounding lights dimmed, and a fat man wearing a black tuxedo and a high hat came to stand on a high platform not far away, and all the surrounding spotlights focused on him.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the lottery room. Let's start this event. Please look at the middle arena!"

Everyone turned and looked at his instructions.

In the middle of the room, there is a small rectangular sports field with 4 sets of tracks on it. It is not far from the starting point to the end, only about 10 meters apart.

There are four frogs of different colors, sizes and shapes at the starting points of the four tracks.

"Let me briefly introduce our contestants to you!"

"The first track, Napoleon, is small in size and lacks endurance, but he is very fast!"

"Second track, Louis, the little green guy, all indicators are balanced!"

"The third track, Caesar, although the color looks a bit darker, I can guarantee that it definitely has huge potential!"

"On the fourth track, Tsar, although he is a bit fatter, he has super endurance, so much so that he can persist until the end and win the championship!"

"Then start placing your bets now! The game starts in 5 minutes!"

Suddenly, people started talking about it, feeling quite incredible about this novel lottery method.

Some people suspected that this place was opened temporarily to make money. Others thought that the frogs were so small, could they run a distance of 10 meters?

The rest is to start carefully analyzing the various indicators of these four frogs-Gill is one of them.

"There are 3 minutes left!"

"I buy Napoleon!"

"I choose Caesar!"

"The Tsar has enough endurance! It's decided that he is the one!"

"Hmph, can these little monsters run away?

"I see, this place must be fake!"

Finally, amid doubts and ridicule, the game began.

"Dang-!"

With a crisp sound, the crossbar blocking the frog was moved away, but...

The frogs didn't move.

"Hahaha! I said this must be fake!"

Immediately, someone started laughing loudly, but then they discovered that the people around him ignored him at all. They all held their breath and stared at the track in the center.

After a while, the smallest one on the first track, named Napoleon, started to jump forward suddenly, with a long stride of more than half a meter, while the other ones still stayed in place.

"Move, Caesar!"

As one of them shouted something, the dark frog named Caesar on the third track immediately jumped continuously, quickly closing the distance with Napoleon. However, Napoleon still stayed there after the first jump. Like the other two, they were breathing continuously in their throats, with no intention of moving again.

Seeing this, the frog started to move, and the others immediately shouted:

"Make some action! Louis!"

"Go on, Napoleon!"

"Tsar! If you don't move, I will cook you right now!"

With the shouts, the frogs in the middle of the field actually started to move, which made everyone find the key point, and everyone roared to cheer for the one they bought:

"Quick, quick, quick! Tsar, run!"

"Go! Napoleon! Go!"

"Follow up! Follow up! Caesar!"

"Keep going! Louis! Keep running!"

Everyone held the lottery scrolls in their hands tightly, and their eyes on the track became more and more fierce. Even the group of people who were still laughing before now looked at the center of the track nervously.

The atmosphere around them became more and more intense, and people roared.

Finally, when all four frogs were not far from the finish line, Louis, who fell at the end, suddenly stood upright with two short steps backwards, like a bipedal lizard, and crossed the finish line directly.

At the end of the game, the entire lottery room was silent. (Please vote for recommendations!)
