With the Goblin King defeated, the dungeon competition came to an end. The main boss of the dungeon, along with over 90% of the goblins, was dead, which meant the dungeon would merge with the outside world. Those who cleared the dungeon could harvest its resources.
At that moment, a loud voice echoed through the dungeon. It was Vik's voice. "My dear disciples, the Dungeon competition is over. Please check your rankings to see who won, and come back to me as soon as possible. We're going to start our dungeon party."
With that, the competition ended. Everyone turned to the rankings, eager to find their positions.
- Lina: 1546 points
- Roman: 1535 points
- Lu Xiaoran: 1489 points
Surprisingly, the weakest contestant scored the highest points, thanks to Lina's final blow to the Goblin King. Lu Xiaoran and Roman exchanged looks, feeling a bit unfair. They had worked hard, while Lina stayed back and took advantage. Roman sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so smart, Lina. I admit you are the real winner of this competition."
He smiled, while Lina puffed up her chest and laughed. Only Lu Xiaoran felt bad for finishing last. He said, "This isn't right. I need those robots next time."
Lina smiled and replied, "Alright, Lu Xiaoran. I'll give you a full squad of armed robots next time."
Lu Xiaoran grinned, but then added, "I also want a full metal suit, with jet packs and laser weapons shooting from my hands. Oh, and I want that suit painted red and yellow."
He puffed out his chest while making this request, but then noticed everyone looking at him with confusion, as if saying, "Seriously, don't act like a child."
So, he backtracked and said, "Forget my last request."
Both Lina and Roman laughed at his naive behavior, and soon Lu Xiaoran joined in. The atmosphere grew joyful. After ensuring all goblins were defeated, the three of them flew toward Vik's location. Although Lina couldn't fly, Roman helped her by creating a gust of wind beneath her, allowing her to soar along with them.
Eventually, they reached Vik's spot, the place where Lina had originally set up her factory for robots and other machines. However, it no longer looked familiar. The factories and mining equipment were still there, but the vast grassland was gone.
In its place stood a large complex of strange buildings, the largest being a castle that looked like something out of a fairy tale. Its entrance featured a grand hemispherical gate with a sign that read, "Welcome to Dosney land."
They were stunned as they read it. Lu Xiaoran was the first to break the silence. "Guys, we should get out of the dungeon. The master must be outside."
Roman nodded in agreement, and Lina added, "Yeah, I think so too. The master told us not to go into shady places."
With that, the three of them headed back to the portal they had entered, which also served as the dungeon's exit. But before they could leave, someone shouted from behind, "Hey guys, why are you exiting? The party venue is in front of you!"
Hearing that, Lu Xiaoran sighed and looked back at the exit. "Guys, I don't know why, but I feel like the master is about to do something strange. We should leave while we can."
Roman added, "Yeah, the master can be very childish at times."
While both of them wanted to avoid the dungeon party, Lina, being the newest, didn't understand. She turned back toward the direction of her master's voice, prompting Lu Xiaoran and Roman to reluctantly follow her.
Soon, they stepped through the gate of Dosney land. As soon as they entered the amusement park, everything went dark. The dungeon's bright daylight transformed into a starry night sky. A loud sound filled the air as large animal toys, resembling yellow bears and dogs, stood on two legs and began singing while throwing flowers. All three disciples found this incredibly embarrassing.
Then, a steam locomotive appeared, speeding down a path toward the main castle, with unicorns sprinting alongside it. The train arrived at the castle entrance, where the gate opened. It exploded into a dazzling array of colors, followed by fireworks shooting off from every corner of the amusement park.
Many of the fireworks soared toward the main castle, lighting up the dungeon sky with vibrant colors. Amid the continuous bursts, a small spark of fire danced around the park. It flew in wide circles, eventually creating a fiery halo around the main castle.
Watching this spectacle erased their initial embarrassment. They stood in awe, surprised by the beauty of it all. Even Roman, usually so composed, appeared baffled and a hint of melancholy crossed his face as he whisper, "If only those children could see this."
Snapping back to reality, he noticed the fire spark working its way toward them. After another round through the park, the spark landed in front of them, taking on a human shape with a cat perched on its shoulder. They recognized it as their master, with Pushpa on his shoulder. As his figure became clearer, Lina burst out laughing.
Lu Xiaoran tried to suppress his laughter, but he soon joined her. Only Roman remained quiet, clenching his jaw to hold back his laughter. Vik, confused by his disciples' sudden amusement, asked, "Disciples, why are you laughing?"
As he asked, Roman couldn't contain himself anymore and laughed out loud, saying between fits of laughter, "Master, your outfit!"
Pov: Vik
I don't understand why my disciples are laughing at me. I worked hard to create this artificial Dosney land in the dungeon. When I asked what was funny, Roman, who had been quiet until now, finally laughed and mentioned my outfit.
Then I looked down at my costume. There didn't seem to be anything wrong. I was dressed appropriately for the occasion, wearing a cute mascot outfit with mouse ears on top of my head and a full back costume with red pants.
Wondering about this, I asked the system, "System, what's wrong with my outfit?"
System: "Everything! Please, host, destroy this outfit immediately."
Vik: "Why, system? This is a popular outfit among children. With this, I look just like the famous Mickey Mouse of Dosney land."
System: "Please pretend that I don't know you."
Vik: (*_*)
