This post is called [hoeing], and the name alone is very eye-catching [first tester players revealed the truth! I discovered an amazing secret in the dungeon...] Even Sherlock was puzzled. What amazing secret did you discover in my dungeon
Sherlock clicked on the post and saw a large picture at the beginning. It was a full-length photo of the blacksmith Simba, holding a hammer in his hand. The shooting angle was from the bottom to the top. It looked like it was a staged shot. Yes.

Then there is the content of Hoe He’s post.
"I'm just hasty! I seem to have accidentally discovered the next stage of the hidden plot in a dungeon in the Eternal Kingdom! Here's how it goes.
When I was doing a mining task a few days ago and moving bricks, I dug a vein of gold concentrate. Lao Xia came over and gave me a reward, a silver coin (one silver coin is equal to one thousand copper coins). I made a small Wealth!), a thousand reputations, and a set of weapons and armor, and then there was nothing more. The vein of gold concentrate has always been there, and we can't mine it. I originally wanted to dig it with a new mining pickaxe. , but the system doesn’t let me dig. Whenever I want to dig, the system blocks me and gives me a warning.
Obviously, the mining of this vein has not yet been opened, so he must have a follow-up plot to open! I wondered if I needed to complete some hidden tasks to unlock the hidden plot. I tried it for a few days, and I actually discovered the hidden plot!
Since this is a mineral vein, it must have something to do with the blacksmith. Then I walked around the blacksmith shop when I had something to do. I also tried to talk to the blacksmith Simba, but the blacksmith Simba ignored me at all. But once I was in the blacksmith. I saw a letter in the shop!
I will send the content of the letter directly to you, and I secretly took photos:
[Brother, I went to apply for a job in another dungeon before, and I’m still waiting for news. I just returned home yesterday and received the letter from you. Sir Sherlock really summoned a hundred goblins directly. This subordinate must be a very wealthy dungeon lord! Can you recommend me to Lord Sherlock next time? It would be great if I could work in the eternal kingdom like my brother. By the way, I heard from the boss that there is no such thing as the most expensive. A caravan is leaving from Winterfell tomorrow to deliver a batch of mining picks to Lord Sherlock. It passed by you, so my mother asked me to drag a lot of pastries with me. I'll bring it to you. You must pay more attention to safety when you go on a business trip. Will you renew the contract after the three-month contract expires? I really envy you for having such a good job, but I will work hard, brother, you must work hard too!]
Everyone should understand after seeing this, a caravan is about to come to our Eternal Kingdom dungeon! I just thought about it, this must be the follow-up plot of Gold Mine Lode! This batch of mining picks is used to dig gold concentrate!
And if it’s a caravan, maybe we can still do business with this caravan! You can also take on tasks, accumulate special props, and exchange them for some rare props! Anyway, just wait, the caravan plot will start soon! Everyone, hurry up and collect your copper coins, materials and other things, maybe you can exchange them for good things by then! "
[King of Stick Sticks in the Crater: Is the caravan coming? It looks like another big update!]
[Everyone who plays Yasuo is Sabi: Okay, okay, by then can all the things that can be exchanged with the caravan in the game be made into a guide and released? I want to see it!]
[Dai Bei Dai: I really want to play! ! ! ! ! ! ! !]
[The Dutch steal the dragon: I didn’t expect the blacksmith Simba to have a younger brother and a mother? This NC background is also too complete. I wonder if I can go to Simba's house in the future. Did Simba only work in the Eternal Kingdom for three months? I quite like this NC!]
[Chicken Calcification: When you can play the open beta in the future and Simba has disabled dozens of weapons on you, you won’t like him anymore.]
[Hearthstone players: I’m laughing so hard, there are only dozens of weapons! My DNFed weapons are worth the price of an Audi A6!]
[Sansheng Shihou and Jun Ci: I believe what the person above said!]
… … …
The post was only posted for less than half an hour, but it was already dozens of pages long.
Sherlock probably finished reading the post and finally understood what was going on. Sherlock remembered that the day after he recruited the blacksmith Simba, Simba recommended his younger brother to him. This letter was obviously sent by his younger brother. He came over, he should have left it casually in the blacksmith shop, and then was seen by Hoe He.
Sherlock didn't expect that a caravan would come to the dungeon, which would make these players so happy, but there was a problem.
Sherlock didn't originally take the caravan coming to the dungeon to heart. According to Sherlock's original idea, at most he would let the players mine the gold concentrate veins after the caravan arrived, and then take them to The caravan trades magic stones, and you will see if there is anything you can buy. If you want something, continue digging for gold concentrate to trade it, and finally part ways with the caravan.
But now looking at the attitudes of these players on the official website, when the caravan comes to the dungeon, those players will definitely be excited to contact the caravan. When the time comes, they will talk about the problems involved. You must explain it yourself, for example: "Why doesn't the caravan accept copper coins?" "Where do we get their magic stones?" How will we explain it to the players in these other worlds? Just thinking about Sherlock is troublesome.
As for the caravan, these goblins are all players from another world. Sherlock doesn't want people to know this for the time being, but if these players go to buy things with the caravan with metal currency, they will say something strange. , it will definitely arouse the thoughts of the caravan members, and they might discover the secrets of these players.
It seems that I need to plan carefully and not make things too complicated, which will be extremely detrimental to the development of my dungeon.
Sherlock closed the forum, crossed his arms and started thinking. Soon Sherlock had an idea, and called out "Blue" to discuss the plan. After all, "Blue" knew the culture of the other world better.
Blue listened quietly to Sherlock's words, then thought for a moment and said:
"What the lord means is to treat the caravan entering the dungeon this time as a game event, and then the lord will select some things that are not very expensive and are in sufficient quantity as rewards for the players to use. Spider legs, spider silk, spider meat or furs produced by other underground creatures and other resources can be exchanged with the caravan for these rewards?"
"Yes, that's what I plan to do. Instead of letting these players contact the caravans, it's better for me to contact the caravans in advance and set prices for the things that can be traded to these players so that they can use them. To exchange materials, if we barter directly, we don’t need to go through the magic stone process, and we can also avoid making the caravan wonder why my dungeon uses metal currency as the currency.”
Sherlock nodded and said:
"We can edit this activity and publish it on the official website to standardize the actions of those players. Anyway, as long as they have tasks to complete and reward targets, they will be very happy."
"If you think about it carefully, it's really a feasible plan. Sir Sherlock, you just need to discuss the exchange price with the caravan, and then tell them not to conduct other transactions with the players. Especially for gold ore veins, you can only The transaction can only be done by Lord Sherlock or someone you designate." Blue seemed a little uneasy and added.
"There is no need to worry about this. When those caravans go to the dungeon to trade, they are very principled, that is, they will never trade with anyone other than the city lord or the city lord's agent, especially servants. This can avoid the dungeon. There were cases where treasure materials were stolen in exchange for magic stones.”
After Sherlock finished speaking, Blue followed closely:
"I understand, then let's do it according to Lord Sherlock's wishes. When the caravan approaches, I will notify the Lord in advance. Lord Sherlock should not choose too expensive products and give them to these players. Trade and exchange, because the caravan will not stay for too long. If it is too expensive, it is impossible for these players to exchange these basic materials within a few days. If you set a goal that is simply impossible to achieve If so, the players will be angry, and they might criticize the planner again like last time. Moreover, the capacity of the caravan to store goods is also limited. If there are too many spider legs and spider meat, they may not be willing to accept them. . ”
Sherlock nodded. Just as Blue said, the problem of the caravan's cargo capacity must also be taken into consideration. They cannot collect these basic materials unlimitedly. These will have to wait until they meet and discuss with the caravan. It was discussed.
Sherlock finalized the plan, and then began to write a new announcement on the official forum with Blue's help -
["Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom" first beta event preview: Winterfell Caravan!]
