Joseph was an ordinary man from the mountain city of Bein. Although he was close to 30 years old this year, he was not married.
The reason was very simple. He was very timid and did not dare to take the initiative to pursue girls. More importantly, at the most critical moment of starting a family, he had no job, no savings, and was not a potential stock like a Seer. Which girl would be willing to take the initiative to marry him?
If Tang En had not come to Prandal and brought reforms to the world, allowing many people to escape poverty and become rich, Joseph would probably be like his popular name, dead in some corner with rats gnawing on his corpse.
But it was different now.
The development of the Datang Chamber of Commerce allowed everyone to find a place to display their value. As long as you wanted to change your life, even if you were just a homeless person, you could find a place to work in the factories of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Not only would you get a salary, but you would also be provided with food and accommodation. What else could you want?
Joseph, on the other hand, was a very lucky guy. When the Great Tang Chamber of Commerce first entered Bein, he was lucky enough to apply for the job of a porter. Then, he started from the bottom and now, he was the captain of a warehouse transport team. Compared to before, the treatment he received was simply heaven and earth.
But … even such a lucky life could not change the fact that he was not popular with women.
"You trash! Coward! Idiot! "
The girl's disappointed face was still vivid in his mind. Joseph could still remember how he hid in the corner and trembled. If the patrol team had not appeared to save her in the end, he was afraid that what happened next would have made him even more regretful …
If he could not even protect the girl he liked, what kind of man was he?
Therefore, Joseph took a rare luxury and took an airship to Ellington, the place where the Datang Chamber of Commerce originated.
He wanted to walk around here and feel what kind of magical city it was that created the chamber of commerce that changed his life. Perhaps this place could really change him?
"Adventurer's Paradise big sale, 50% discount?"
Just as he passed by the entrance of Adventurer's Paradise, Joseph suddenly noticed the slogan on the door.
Hasn't Adventurer's Paradise been open for business for a while? Why is there a big sale now? And it was a 50% discount!
After hesitating for a while, Joseph immediately bought a ticket and went in. When he was in Bein, although the Adventurer's Paradise had already opened, with his income, he would feel the pinch even if he went there. After all, he still had to save some money to get married.
But now that his girlfriend was gone, how the hell was he going to save money?
After entering the Adventurer's Paradise, Joseph suddenly realized what kind of place this theme park is.
"This is a f * cking dog food place …"
Joseph's heart was filled with bitterness. He suddenly realized that he had come to the wrong place. No matter how he looked at it, the people around him didn't look like they were here for fun. Instead, they looked more like they were here to show off their girlfriends and boyfriends …
Although he was clearly under the sun, Joseph felt as if he was in the middle of winter. The surroundings were chilly, as if there was something unclean blowing a cold wind behind him …
"F * ck! This isn't an illusion! "
Another gust of cold air hit him, and Joseph suddenly jumped up. When he turned around, he was horrified to find that there was actually a pitch-black cave behind him!
Next to this cave stood a row of tourists with different expressions. They were of different ages. The youngest seemed to be only seven or eight years old, and the oldest looked to be in his fifties.
Looking at the gloomy cave, Joseph mustered up his courage and went up. Then, he heard the staff's introduction.
"… It's very gloomy and scary inside. This place only welcomes the brave. Those who are not brave are not allowed to come here to play, so this is also known as the 'Dungeon of the Brave'."
Tsk!
Joseph looked at the staff with disdain. Dungeon of the Brave? Who are you kidding? Isn't this the haunted house that the planning department promoted? It's all a trick. What's there to be afraid of?
Even if he was a coward, he would not be afraid of that kind of thing.
At this time, the staff continued, "In addition, if you participate in this game, you can win various mysterious prizes. In order to promote this project, our Tang En Majesty buried many precious treasures in the depths of the dungeon, such as precious alchemy potions, precious magical equipment, treasure chests filled with gold coins, and so on … Of course, the gold coins are just samples. When they come out, they have to be exchanged for paper money."
A customer was tempted. "You mean, if these treasures are found by us tourists, they will belong to us?"
"Of course, our Tang En Majesty will not be stingy with these treasures, right?"
The staff said proudly. "These treasures are only put in to stimulate the real warriors to participate in this game. That's why they are deliberately put in."
"Don't you often hear the thrilling stories of adventurers from the bards? Now, the opportunity is here. The Dungeon of the Brave perfectly simulates the adventure process of adventurers, including all kinds of dangers, treasures, and even magical beasts, demons, and so on. "
"Think about it carefully. The Tang En Majesty does not want to use this opportunity to make money. If he really wants to continue making money, he can add locks to the treasure chests and then sell various levels of keys at the entrance. Only with the keys can the corresponding locks be opened, or he can sell dungeon maps and so on … There are many ways to make money, but he did not do so!"
"Why is that!? This is all for the sake of you customers! Because what you want to experience is the original taste of adventure! Challenge your own limits! "
"See? We have perfectly satisfied your wishes here! There is only a sword at the beginning, and you have to fight for all the equipment! You have to rely on your own courage and wisdom to challenge these levels. Only by defeating them can you obtain the treasures. If you lose, you can only leave here quietly and become a failure. "
The staff member pointed at the screen beside him and said, "See? This is a record of all the people who have successfully brought out the treasures. As long as you can successfully bring out the treasures, regardless of whether they are big, medium, or small, the challenge is considered a success. You can leave your name and picture here for future generations to admire. "
"Are you tempted? If you are, then act quickly! This is the best opportunity for you to show your courage to others! "
"I want to go in!"
The sudden voice from behind startled the crowd. After the crowd separated, Joseph, who was a little uneasy, squeezed in.
"Ah ha! This gentleman looks like a failure who does not have a good life! "
The staff member did not hesitate to belittle Joseph. He looked at Joseph condescendingly and said, "Are you sure you have the courage to challenge this place?"
"Re … I'm sure!"
"Are you sure you won't be scared to the point of peeing your pants when you face the dangers below?"
"I'm sure!"
The angry Joseph took out his work pass and shouted, "We are all employees of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Can't you give me some face?"
"I'm from the headquarters. You're from the branch."
Joseph was speechless.
"But since you're my colleague, I won't talk nonsense. Take this."
The staff member chuckled and threw a bag to Joseph before handing him a small bottle.
"What's this?"
"Tang En Majesty gives every challenger a gift, the Magic Awakening Potion. After drinking it, there is a possibility of awakening your talent during the challenge and becoming a Revelation."
The staff member said indifferently, "As for whether you can awaken your talent, it depends on your determination and perseverance."
"What?! I can awaken my talent and become a Revelation?! "
The customers who were watching from behind could not remain calm. "I want to participate too!"
"Those who want to participate, line up at the back. The number of people allowed to enter at each time period is limited. Damn, are you all crazy?!"
These staff members had obviously underestimated the temptation of awakening a talent. Almost at the moment when they heard that they could awaken their talent, all the tourists rioted and rushed over.
The next moment, the staff member's expression changed. He shouted and a powerful blood energy instantly erupted, freezing all the rioting tourists in place.
A Revelation!
The staff member said coldly, "I've said it before … Everyone, get the hell out of here and line up!"
The tourists immediately became obedient.
Joseph looked at him in shock. "Are you …"
"That's right."
The staff member said indifferently, "In the previous test, I successfully awakened my talent and became a Revelation."
Joseph inhaled a breath of cold air. A living example was standing in front of him. If he could not grasp this opportunity, he could really kill himself!
"Carry this."
The staff member took out a backpack and handed it to Joseph. "There are seven days of dry food inside, but only three days of drinking water. If you can't find a water source in the Dungeon, you will only die of thirst. If you find a water source but don't get food, you will also starve to death.
"There are only three torches prepared. You have to find your own lighting tools. Otherwise, you may be knocked out by the enemies in the dark and become a prisoner. But don't worry, the enemies in the Dungeon are all trained. At most, they will injure you severely, but you won't die.
"Then, there's this Return Crystal for emergency escape."
The staff member pointed at the Return Crystal at the bottom of the backpack and said seriously, "This is the only way for you to leave the Dungeon instantly. Be careful not to lose it."
Joseph said nervously, "If I lose it, will I die in there?"
"Of course not. It's too troublesome to find you, and your bonus will be deducted."
Joseph: "…"
"Go! After becoming a Revelation, you can marry a beautiful and rich woman and reach the peak of your life! "
Joseph was a little excited at the thought of it. His face flushed with excitement as he walked into the Underground City resolutely.
"Ah —"
