Chapter 36: Chapter36-Establishing the Trial Dungeon and Posting Guild Recruitment

"When posting a recruitment notice, you can set recruitment requirements."

John looked at the condition settings page for guild recruitment.

After thinking for a moment, he did not publish it immediately.

Instead, he turned and headed for Overload City’s teleportation point.

John needed to return to Novice Village first.

Overload City’s teleportation point was connected to both Eaglecrest City and Novice Village.

As long as one paid 100 copper coins, teleportation was possible. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Standing at the teleportation point, John focused his mind.

The next moment, he appeared in Novice Village.

Only half a day had passed since he left.

Quite a few players who saw him widened their eyes.

"Why is John back?"

"Did Eaglecrest City kick him out or something?"

A crowd of players immediately began making wild guesses.

John could not be bothered with them. His figure flashed, and he quickly rushed toward the wilderness outside Novice Village.

Before long, John appeared in a familiar area.

The ruins of the Catacomb Complex dungeon.

Ever since he had cleared that dungeon, it had never recovered.

Many players had also tried their luck here, but in the end, not a single one gained anything.

So at this moment, the entire area was deserted.

John flipped his hand, and an ancient bronze key appeared in his palm.

It was none other than the Dungeon Key rewarded by the system earlier.

"I want to generate a dungeon."

John tossed the key toward the ruins of the Catacomb Complex.

In an instant, multicolored light burst forth.

The ruins of the Catacomb Complex were rapidly cleared away and reconstructed.

In only a few short minutes, the former ruins had been transformed into a magnificent underground palace.

A notification sounded in John’s mind.

[You have generated a personal player dungeon. Please name the dungeon!]

"Overlord Trial Dungeon."

John’s naming style was brutally straightforward.

[Naming successful. Please set the dungeon’s entry requirements!]

After a brief moment of thought, John set an entry requirement of 1 silver coin.

The moment the requirement was established, a screen of light appeared at the entrance, sealing it off.

Once a player entered, 1 silver coin would be automatically deducted from their wallet balance.

If they lacked sufficient funds, they would be blocked outside!

After that, John also set a limit on the number of players who could enter the dungeon.

And just like that, a dungeon composed of the monsters John had slain earlier was born.

[Overlord Trial Dungeon]

[Difficulty]: S-rank

[Maximum Number of Players]: 20

[Recommended Minimum Level]: 30

[Description]: Rare-grade and Gold-grade bosses are inside. Enter with caution!

...

Looking at the dungeon, John was very satisfied.

"With this in place, I won’t have to personally test candidates one by one anymore."

He then directly opened the guild recruitment function and added a requirement:

Clear [Overlord Trial Dungeon].

He also set it so that as long as a player fulfilled the guild recruitment conditions, they would be able to join the guild automatically.

Afterward, under the benefits granted upon joining the guild, he directly added another line:

Receive an Overload City Emblem.

The Overload City Emblem was essentially a pass for entering Overload City.

Only those wearing the emblem would be allowed to enter the city.

Moreover, if someone wearing the emblem actively launched an attack against John, they would immediately be subjected to the system’s instant-death penalty.

This way, he could perfectly prevent ill-intentioned spies from causing trouble from within.

"Mm. There shouldn’t be any loopholes now. Time to publish the recruitment notice."

After checking everything several times over, John directly posted the guild recruitment.

[You spent 1,000 gold coins to publish a Zone 5 guild recruitment notice!]

In an instant, a dazzling golden announcement popped up in the Zone 5 channel.

[Overlord Guild Recruitment Notice: Zone 5 players, come sign up now! The current member cap is 10,000. After clearing "Overlord Trial Dungeon," you may automatically join the guild!]

In that moment, the entire Zone 5 chat channel exploded.

Boss John was actually planning to recruit players from their Zone 5 server into his guild!

And he was recruiting ten thousand people at once!

[Alan] (Zone 5): "Holy crap, it’s finally here!"

[Evelyn] (Zone 5): "I’ve run so many dungeons to level up for this guild that my legs are sore. Wuwuwu, Boss John, I’m coming right now!"

[Mia] (Zone 5): "A guild cap of ten thousand members... looks like Boss John is really planning to make a huge move."

[Lex] (Zone 5): "Doesn’t that mean even ordinary players like us can get in easily?"

[Jace] (Zone 5): "Stop dreaming. The requirements include clearing the Trial Dungeon. I bet that Trial Dungeon won’t be easy."

[Eve] (Zone 5): "The weak are still hesitating, while the strong are already on their way!"

...

Because John’s reputation in Zone 5 was simply too great, the moment the recruitment notice was posted, countless players flocked to [Overlord Trial Dungeon].

For a time, the once-deserted dungeon entrance became packed with people.

Nearly all of them were players lining up to enter the dungeon.

However, once they actually tried the dungeon, they were instantly dumbfounded.

"What the hell? It’s actually an S-rank dungeon?"

"This dungeon’s difficulty is way too high, isn’t it?"

"The recommended minimum level is 30. Do we even have players in our Zone who can clear this?"

"Whatever, let’s try first. It looks like there’s no death penalty in this dungeon anyway. You just get kicked out."

Under the rule of no death penalty inside the dungeon, many players gritted their teeth and chose to enter anyway.

As for the 1 silver coin entry fee, almost no one cared.

By this point in their progression, everyone had at least a dozen or so silver coins on them.

Some wealthy players had even already scraped together 1 gold coin.

So an entry fee of 1 silver coin was nothing at all.

They entered with a try-it-and-see mindset—

and were immediately stunned by the strength of the monsters inside.

A great many players were expelled from the dungeon less than half an hour after entering.

The monsters within were simply too powerful. They did not even get to see the boss before being killed by ordinary mobs.

Looking at that dungeon, many players were utterly shattered.

"What the hell is going on? Aren’t these monsters from the goblin tribe? Why are they in this dungeon too?"

"The goblin tribe monsters are still manageable. With some coordination, you can grind through them.

You clearly haven’t seen the second stage’s underground undead tomb. The mechanics are disgusting—they can even turn invisible."

"My god, just how did Boss John manage to clear such a ridiculous dungeon?"

"With difficulty like this, is this dungeon filtering for cheaters or what?!"

Although these players cursed louder than anyone else, under the temptation of joining John’s guild,

they still obediently went back to level up and prepare for another challenge.

For a time, nearly the entire population of Zone 5 was grinding levels for one reason only:

to clear the Trial Dungeon John had established.

...

Meanwhile, John had already returned to Overload City.

Even while inside Overload City, he could still clearly observe the Trial Dungeon’s clearance progress.
