“Hmm, if we're handing out welcome drinks like you said, we'll need a temporary stall in the spawn area. About 50 people, right?”
“Yeah…? Adding the award winners and the Padak crew, it should come out to around that. Though some might skip out. Still, better prep extra. Granite Fist's drinks? They'll want 100% refills.”
“Ahem… well, if that's the case.”
Granite Fist here seemed weak to subtle praise.
I mean, who wouldn't like people loving what you made…?
I circled the park one more time, double-checking tomorrow's plans.
First thing in the morning, my event teaser post would drop.
No entertainment in the Shelter, so even a same-day reveal would spread like wildfire.
'Then roll out the events in sequence.'
Salt supply, contest awards, park info reveal and preview stream, and finally the Orchard.
“Guess it's about time for me to head out. See you tomorrow.”
“Got it.”
Back in my room, I flopped onto the bed and messaged StickyThingLover.
[DungeonMaster]
Sticky, the Padak folks are streaming?
Passed on the word! They're all interested, but they need to mask up for personal reasons—hope that's cool.
Faces? In a huge event, who cares about that.
[DungeonMaster]
Cool. Can we run 3 channels then? You coming to the park, Sticky?
Hmm… I'd love to, but might be tough to step out. Even masked, someone might recognize me…
Recognized even masked. Guess she's kinda famous…
'Figured she's highborn or something…'
Tch… nothing for it. I'll hook her up later.
[DungeonMaster]
Bummer… You helped the most.
Thanks for caring, Dunbungi! haha Sad, but I'll experience the park via stream. But since you made it, I'll visit in person when I can!
[DungeonMaster]
Yep, sending tickets.
Stream looks good too…
Oh, and one Padak volunteered to stream too—cool?
Volunteer?
[DungeonMaster]
? More channels is good for me.
He's one whose face is public anyway—no need to hide. Pretty famous too, gallery reactions should be great. Perfect MC material!
[DungeonMaster]
;; Sure then…
If StickyThingLover vouches, he's solid.
Tentacle obsession and weird speech aside, top talent.
“Next up… salt sales.”
[DungeonMaster]
Yeomje, you there? Salt supply good for tomorrow?
Of course, Dungeon Master. Squeezed every ounce of capacity—stockpiled plenty. Might even have leftovers! Hahaha!
Okay… check.
Last one…
[DungeonMaster]
Hehe… Miss Joodak free for a sec?
Sigh… what now, Mr. Dunbungsina?
[DungeonMaster]
Job creation!
……
And so the day flew by.
Evening came quick…
“…Elise really isn't coming, huh.”
Makes sense… putting myself in her shoes…
My bad, plain and simple.
Didn't expect that motorcycle mess.
Her magic class might never reopen.
Still, stay strong, Elise.
Time heals all…
Lost in endless thoughts, the day turned.

[Title: Dungeon Showcase: Major Update & Roadmap Pt. 1]
[Writer: DungeonMaster]
Good morning! Dungeon Master here.
Air feels fresh today, ceiling glowstones extra sunny—perfect day.
Sorry for the sudden post without notice.
It's ready now—massive volume, way beyond old patch notes.
Big updates via showcases from now on.
Let's dive in.
Theme: Healing.
We've scraped by in resource dread, bland survival.
Desperate days clawing for one more.
Constant vigilance or rivalry—minds festering unseen.
No material or mental spare till now.
Food crisis easing—you've got some leisure time from safer hunts via tickets.
Explorers don't need endless dungeon grinds anymore.
But Shelter sucks for fun—degenerate food, claustrophobic streets, zero entertainment.
Things we couldn't dream of amid survival panic—I'll return them slowly.
Yes.
I'll give back cultural life!
First cornerstone…!
Starlight Lake Park!!
Star of this showcase—new park dungeon.
Many chill at Slime Hill: naps, family picnics, meetups.
No better spots.
Slime Hill heals with fields and sky, but monsters 'cause it's a hunt dungeon.
But Starlight Lake Park is pure leisure—no monsters!
Dwarf artisans landscaped it gorgeously—not raw like Slime Hill. Expect big!
Not all!
More surprises—Pt. 2 content.
Pt. 2 by Padak HighPerformanceEraser on stream!
Not post—live interaction.
Details via their broadcast—see for yourselves!
Post-contest, winners first dibs with Padaks.
Pt. 1 end.
Nothing major.
Just event promo for today.
Pt. 2 at 5 PM!
Check market now!
