"You mean, in addition to being responsible for the treatment of these goblins and repairing the corpses, I also need to protect the safety of the rune magic circle, be responsible for the back-and-forth teleportation service, and be responsible for on-site guidance for them to explore the ancient ruins. The maze of illusions, the barriers that hinder magic, the work of magic mechanisms and so on? Lord Sherlock, is this what you call overtime?"
After listening to Sherlock's narration, the top student summarized it and asked.
"I know it's a bit hard, but you have just left school, so you should pay more attention to your own growth than a comfortable job. This job will definitely be of great benefit to your growth. You can learn a lot of experience and knowledge. No need to thank me, this is your blessing."
Sherlock said sincerely:
"If you have nothing else to do, you can go out and get ready."
The top student was silent for a moment, raised his head and said:
"I understand, but if you encounter a magic mechanism or barrier, you may need some expensive and rare magic materials to break it..."
"After completing the archaeological work on the ancient ruins, the two days of research time, conditions and restrictions will remain the same as last time."
Sherlock raised two fingers and said directly.
"Five days!"
"Two days."
"Three days!"
"Two days."
"make a deal."
The top student left with a lonely figure behind him. Some of the green-skinned players outside followed closely behind the top student, some stayed at the door of the Lord's Hall, and the other part hurriedly completed the prerequisite tasks for the new scene.
Sherlock turned on the computer and continued to browse the forum. The new version update announcement he posted had already received thousands of replies in less than thirty minutes:
[Bingfeng Luochen: Is there any customer service here? Why can’t the official website be opened? I’m eager to sign up for the second test!]
[Bing Candy Candy: Beautiful? Eternal Kingdom Dungeon? But when I look at the screenshots taken by the big guys in the first beta test, they all look like crap, right?]
[The legendary cabbage: Is the update task so casual? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻]
[Dingo: When will the life profession be opened? I strongly request to create my own equipment. I have already drawn various drawings: Goblin armored vehicle, Goblin sea urchin armor, Goblin airborne pod]
[The sharks are coming: Watch the inventors upstairs, hurry up and enter the second test to get the title of pioneer]
[Tin Monkey: Can you buy chickens and horses for a limited time in the second test? I'll buy it no matter how much!]
[God Dipolo: I have applied for the second test. I am super active in the forum area. Please give me a test qualification (′Д`)]
[Yiyi: Xiguashan Fat Butt applies to compete! For the eternal kingdom!]
[MikeScare: Why doesn’t everyone seriously discuss the update content? Isn’t anyone curious about why new scenes don’t refresh items? What a cheating dog planner, what are you planning!]
[Go a little further: Isn’t this just an aboveboard and aboveboard forum? Dog planning: You don’t have a plan anymore, now let us help you think about it? I'm so jealous...Give me the qualification for the second test, and I'll pretend nothing happened.]
[Hui Mengjin: No, we are only concerned about the second test now.]
… … …
Sherlock has probably finished browsing the responses from the players. Everyone is quite supportive of his updated content.
Sherlock was relieved to have a top student enter the ancient ruins with the players. The next step was to wait for the players to carry out the good things one by one and collect the rune magic array.
As for what he had to do next, which was to arrange the preliminary tasks, Sherlock thought about it, walked out of the core hall, and headed towards the carpenter's house.
————
“Buy a bone backpack!”
A goblin with the word "hoe" on his head, holding dire wolf skin, spider silk, and killer vine in his hand, said this to Mufasa in front of him.
Then in [Hoe He]'s mind, a [Bank] interface was carefully crafted by Blue. After deducting 100 copper coins, [Hoe He] reached out and placed it on the merchandise shelf in the carpenter's house. One made of bones, spider silk, and dire wolf The backpack made of leather, killer vine and other materials was taken down.
Although it is ugly, it is indeed a backpack.
There was already a long queue at the carpenter's house. Mufasa, who had been very idle except for cooking, was suddenly busy.
The reason is because the players received pre-missions about the new scene [Ancestor Ruins].
[Task name: Preparations for entering the ancestral ruins (collective)
Mission introduction: In order to save the precious items in the ancestral ruins, you need to make adequate preparations. Go to the carpenter's house to ask Mufasa and follow his command.
Mission objectives: Collect spider silk (0/200), collect dire wolf skin (0/400), collect killer vine (0/200)
Task rewards: After handing in the materials, you can get corresponding reputation and currency rewards]
These materials collected by players have been made by Mufasa into props such as bone backpacks, bone carts, etc. for transporting and containing items.
The bone backpack is already a standard equipment in the Eternal Kingdom dungeon. After players obtain it, they can see that the equipment attributes are:
[Bone backpack (white ordinary equipment)
Weight: 0.5
Durability: 5
Capacity: 10 units weight
Item description: A storage backpack that is not particularly strong, made of various biological materials. It may be out of stock.
Wearing conditions: No reputation requirement, limited to two per person.
Item price: 1 unit of spider silk, 2 dire wolf skins, 1 killer vine skin, exchangeable for 100 copper coins
Quantity: Sold only when in stock, please see the Carpenter House product rack for details]
As for the bone cart, the price is almost three times that of the bone backpack. Of course, the capacity is also more than three times higher, and each person is limited to one.
Although it was very expensive, when the players saw that they finally had backpacks and even transport carts, they took out the materials they packed at the bottom of the boxes. After completing the prerequisite tasks, that is, the material collection tasks, the players rushed to Carpenters came to line up to redeem the items they needed.
It’s not that the players have never thought about making enough food and clothing by themselves, but after seeing what they made and what the wood mage used various professional carpentry tools and magical means to make, the players decisively chose the latter. Making it yourself was a complete waste. Material!
But the players did not lose heart. [Ma Sheng Polytechnic] said on the spot:
"It doesn't matter. When our conditions are mature, we can arrange the roller skating team, crane, and rail car one by one!"
But for now, players still have to rely on NC.
The products on the merchandise shelves, whether they were small carts or bone backpacks, were purchased by players queuing up as soon as Mufasa finished making them. If there was not a limited purchase quantity, these items would probably be sold out. It's about to be sold out.
The limited quantity is "Blue"'s suggestion to Sherlock. According to "Blue", it is:
"Players from these other worlds will use various methods to do business if they are not careful. If there is no limit on the purchase quantity, it is likely that all the backpacks and carts will be concentrated in the hands of the merchants, and they will be sold at twice the price , or even sold at three times the price. Players who are dissatisfied with the illegal business practices are likely to commit robbery and murder without restrictions, laws and punishments. In order to protect their own safety, businessmen bribe powerful players as bodyguards, then There may be a large-scale armed confrontation between the players in the first test. Lord Sherlock must always pay attention to any triggers that lead to chaos."
Blue's words also reminded Sherlock that after the second test, the number of people will increase even more. Although players from other worlds as servants have many conveniences, they also have many disadvantages. Just like Blue said, a little bit If you are not careful, you will fall into chaos and disorder, but for Sherlock, an orderly dungeon is particularly important.
It seems that it is necessary to prepare something similar to law and punishment. Are there any games that can learn from it
… … …
On the day after the announcement of version 0.05 upgrade, after all the players worked hard for a day, the mission of [Pre-requisite: Ancestor Ruins] set by Sherlock was almost completed. To be honest, it was a bit fast. It exceeded Sherlock's expectations. This was mainly because many first-test players had hoarded a large amount of biological materials and planned to make a profit during the second test.
However, in order to complete [Pre-requisite: Ancestral Ruins] as soon as possible and obtain new props such as backpacks and carts as soon as possible, players took out the accumulated materials.
By the next day, a team of about ninety people had been organized, and a group of people were waiting at the entrance of the portal hall.
When the last spider silk was handed over by the player, Sherlock and the top student walked over.
The Lich's top student still had an expressionless skull face, while Sherlock's expression was quite solemn.
He walked to the edge of the rune magic circle and said seriously:
"Warriors, you are very fast. I believe we can make it in time. We are going in before all the ancestral relics are plundered! Are you ready? Warriors!"
After Sherlock finished speaking, the players nearby started shouting. It was obvious that Sherlock had fully aroused their emotions. As for shouting, there were all kinds of things.
There were so many people that it was impossible to hear clearly.
The top student stood expressionless on the side, lowered his head and began to think deeply:
"Is there anyone else coming to snatch this ancient ruins?"
The top student is still thinking about this problem. The rune magic circle has been activated by Sherlock. With the white light flashing from the magic circle, Sherlock and the top student standing in the rune magic circle have disappeared in the original place. The excited players then walked into the magic circle one by one and disappeared.
Among the crowd of goblins who were constantly advancing into the magic circle, Arthur, dressed in black armor, checked his equipment one last time. He was carrying a small backpack bought during the caravan event on his back and a bone backpack he had just bought on his chest. He said to [Umekawa Kuko] [Hoe], [Sylvanas] and [Burning Chest Hair] who were carrying backpacks on both sides like him:
"Let's go, let's go too!"
(Y recommended "The Principles of Taoism" by the big brother [Eight Treasure Rice]. It has more than two million words. It is a large quantity and it is full. Everyone who is short of books should read it.)
(Opening: In how many chapters can the player clear out the ancient ruins? Who is the first legal professional player? Who will be the boss of the first test? Buy it and leave!)
