Sherlock didn't react to the so-called novice task for a while. After communicating with the core "Blue" in detail for a while, Sherlock finally understood.
All in all, players in these different worlds do not need to pay them monthly wages, but instead they hope to obtain some clear tasks, such as "dig through that wall!" A dormitory where people rest!" "Go to the wild to hunt five underground spiders!" "Bring back a load of wood!" In fact, Sherlock will give these tasks to the players in this other world even if Blue doesn't tell them. Similar tasks, the difference is that after they complete these tasks, they need to be given certain rewards, some money, some weapons and equipment, food, and so on.
Sherlock had a headache for a moment. He didn't expect that something would be so troublesome.
I definitely don’t have any weapons and equipment, and I don’t have any food. Speaking of money... The common thing in the underground world is magic stones. These things are given as rewards to players in other worlds. Sherlock is absolutely reluctant to part with them. But Blue suggested that there is another kind of money that can be rewarded, and that is gold coins!
Gold coins are the common currency unit in the surface world. One thousand copper coins are equal to one silver coin, and one thousand silver coins are equal to one gold coin. Sherlock has a lot of copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins, mainly in exchange for magic stones, intending to use them as tempting treasures to attract the surface. Adventurers in the world, after all, there are not many naturally occurring magic stones. To make magic stones, you need to extract their magic power from surface creatures to make magic stones. Extracting magic power requires special skills. , and the way to attract surface creatures to venture underground is generally to rely on these sparkling gold coins.
Although Sherlock still doesn't understand why these surface creatures are so fascinated by these metal pieces with no magic at all, it is really suspicious.
Using these gold coins as rewards to give to players in other worlds is not a big problem, but as far as Sherlock knows, all underground creatures, demons, and the like are not interested in gold coins at all. These other worlds Will the incoming goblins like gold coins
Core "Blue" said with certainty: "I like it! They don't say they like it so much as they love it! As long as you give them gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins as task rewards, and use these currencies as transaction currencies in the dungeon, they themselves will If you know how to play, you will be able to do well, trust me!"
Although Sherlock doesn't know what tricks these metal currencies can be used for, as long as he doesn't need to take out magic stones to pay for players in these other worlds, he can have as many metal currencies as he wants. One magic stone You can buy a big box at the market!
Sherlock's next job is to discuss with the core "Blue" to start pricing detailed rewards for various jobs, so that when players from other worlds arrive in the dungeon, they can maintain their enthusiasm for work. and maintain a happy mood.
Keeping subordinates in a satisfied mood is what a qualified dungeon master should do. After all, most of the dungeon monsters come to seek refuge with the city lord, and are not magic puppets created by the city lord.
After completing these tasks, Sherlock looked at the time. Half a day had passed, and the time to summon the selected players from another world to work in the dungeon was approaching.
As a newly appointed dungeon master, Sherlock was about to welcome his first batch of subordinates. To be honest, he was still a little nervous. After finally confirming the food, the metal currency for rewards, and the blacksmith shop, Sherlock discovered an important problem. His blacksmith hadn't arrived yet.
Just as he was thinking about when the blacksmith would come, a flash of magic appeared in his dungeon, and then a portal appeared in front of Sherlock. Because the dungeon was owned by Sherlock, there was no Sherlock's. With permission, it is impossible for anyone to open a portal in Sherlock's dungeon, and Sherlock has only allowed one person recently, and that is the blacksmith he recruited!
A dark-skinned dwarf walked out of the portal. This was a black iron dwarf who lived in the underground world, not a dwarf in a natural cave. However, like other dwarves, they were all very good at blacksmithing and forging. .
"Another dungeon that has just started? You devil look a bit too young!" After the dwarf came out, he looked around at the dungeon, which was not very big, then raised his hammer and pointed at Xia Locke raised his loud voice and shouted:
"I am your newly recruited blacksmith, Simba. This is our contract, valid for three months, and the monthly salary is one hundred magic stones. Please confirm, young demon lord."
As the blacksmith spoke, he took out a contract from his arms. Sherlock took it and looked around from top to bottom. It was true that there was no problem with the contract signed yesterday. Sherlock returned the contract to the blacksmith. , and then said in a serious voice: "Welcome, you are the first subordinate of this great underground city! That is where you work!"
Sherlock pointed at the empty blacksmith shop, then remembered something, and pointed at the various ingredients in the corner, and said: "That's where the food raw materials are. There is no special warehouse for storage at present, but in the Goblin After arriving, I will order them to build a food warehouse as soon as possible. For the food trouble during this period, just prepare some easy-to-carry food, such as pies, because those goblins will not have What a chance to sit down and have a good meal!"
Sherlock's tone was like that of a cruel slave owner. Blacksmith Simba seemed accustomed to all this. It was obvious that this was not the first time he worked for the dungeon master. After entering the blacksmith shop, he became angry with very skillful movements, and then... I set up the iron pot and went to get the ingredients to start cooking!
After all, there isn’t even any ore, so it’s hard to hit a ball! The ore still needs to be mined by the goblins!
Seeing that even the blacksmith was ready, Sherlock arranged his clothes, stretched out his huge demon wings from behind, looked in the mirror again, and confirmed that his majestic image of the demon lord would definitely not have any The question then came to the core of the dungeon.
The next step is to summon the selected one hundred goblins from another world, that is, the players!
The summoning ritual is very simple. In addition to inputting magic power, it is to sign a contract in another world, such as "Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom, Virtual Network Agency Contract Instructions", "2019 Online Game Approval Confirmation", "Disclaimer" and so on. There were a lot of agreements and contracts. Sherlock signed them all through the dungeon core without saying a word. He didn't even read the instructions carefully, because the agreements in other worlds basically have no restrictions on him, a devil. Powerful.
After completing this series of work, Sherlock finally began his summoning work.
As Sherlock inputted all the required magic power into the core, a total of one hundred and half-person-high portals began to unfold in front of Sherlock's eyes. Sherlock put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and waited for the players from the upcoming world. They offered their allegiance to him, but after waiting for several minutes, no goblin came out. Sherlock became impatient:
"Where are my subordinates? Those players from another world, why haven't they come out yet?"
"They are pinching their faces. They always pay great attention to some insignificant things, such as appearance, clothing, and even accessories, etc. This is what the other world is like." Core "Blue" replied.
When Sherlock heard Blue's answer, he waited patiently. Sometimes he would meet some boring demons who used magic to change their appearance. He didn't expect that goblins in other worlds also have such hobbies, and It is quite common. As for where the magic power comes from, of course it comes from Sherlock. Every goblin needs his magic power to maintain their connection with the world when they come to work in his dungeon. However, This little magic power is not a burden to a demon with abundant magic power.
Fortunately, Sherlock didn't have to wait too long. Finally, the first goblin came out of the portal.
What came out was an extremely tall goblin, which had almost reached the limit of a normal goblin's height, reaching the level of Sherlock's knees.
After the goblin walked out of the portal with his upper body bare and only wearing shorts, he looked at Sherlock in front of him and fell into a daze. Then he looked around with a surprised expression on his face. When he finished looking around After that, the goblin muttered: "Has technology developed to this extent now? I thought the virtual reality online game was fake at first, but I didn't expect it to be real. Oh my God, this game is Mold, this material, this skin touch feels painful, can it be adjusted..."
In Sherlock's view, the Goblin in front of him has fallen into a state of fanaticism, which is very abnormal, because the first thing that every dark creature that arrives in the dungeon should do is to swear allegiance to him, the city lord. right.
"My humble servant, come down quickly and swear your loyalty to the great demon lord Shylock, and you will receive my mercy and generous rewards!"
Sherlock straightened his back, trying his best to conceal his inner joy and excitement, and said this ruthlessly.
The goblin heard Sherlock's voice, then turned his head again, looked up at Sherlock, and then shouted in a high-pitched voice, a little helpless: "[Meikawa Kuzi] to the great demon lord Xia Lord Locke swears allegiance!”
After he finished shouting, the man started to walk around and look around again, and said to himself: "The city lord NC in this game is so realistic, right? The city lord's sense of oppression was so strong that I almost couldn't help but kneel down. , It’s really amazing, I will definitely go to the forum to brag about it later!”
Although Sherlock was very surprised by this goblin's weird behavior, what was even more strange was that when the goblin announced that his name was [Umekawa Kuko], four figures appeared out of thin air above the goblin's head. A big character [Meichuan Kuzi].
That's right! This is the name this goblin named himself! Moreover, the name will move with the goblin, making it look as if it is integrated with the goblin.
Just when Sherlock was wondering why this goblin used magic to put a strange name on his forehead, more and more goblins of all kinds came out of the portal, or were wearing these three kinds of clothes. They ordered simple tops and shorts, or wore the same shorts as [Umekawa Kuko]. They had all kinds of faces, but they all had one thing in common—ugliness!
How good-looking can you expect a goblin to be
Then, the goblins in front of Sherlock started chatting!
