[Earn rewards…]
When the tall body of the kobold leader Kramo fell into a pool of blood amidst the rumble, such a message flashed in front of the eyes of all the players who participated in the battle. Even [Yucha] who did not participate in the battle in the dungeon ] are all rewarded. The reason is because [Yucha] moved bricks several times.
Then Sherlock still welcomes life players like [Yucha] who have nothing to do but spend the rest of their time moving bricks.
He is also very welcoming to other players, even if they are looking for some excitement and entertainment to die.
In Sherlock's opinion, although they looked very embarrassed when they were trying to commit suicide, the figures who worked hard to move bricks and build dungeons to make money on the side were still very handsome.
After the players killed the kobold leader Kramow, they happily dragged the bodies of their companions and the leader Kramow back.
Sherlock did not continue to spy on the players, but left the core and went to the blacksmith shop to find the blacksmith Simba.
According to the dungeon core "Bru", after defeating the OSS, equipment and a large amount of money should be given as rewards. The main mission set by Sherlock has already given a large amount of reputation and money rewards. What is missing? is the equipment reward.
Due to very practical problems, Sherlock could not go to Winterfell to buy sophisticated weapons and equipment for these players, but in addition to adamantine ore, the Eternal Kingdom only had newly mined gold concentrate.
Diamond ore is the lowest level ore, and there is no way to make stronger weapons and equipment. Although gold concentrate is good, there is no way to use it before upgrading the blacksmith shop, not to mention this kind of ore with excellent magical conductivity. It always feels a bit wasteful to use it as weapons and armor.
Sherlock's idea is to keep it for now, and then he can make something else, such as an alchemy platform, a portal base, etc. If it doesn't work, he can still sell it for a good price!
What about the equipment? Sherlock had already thought about this problem.
The armor on the kobold leader Kramer and the hammer on his hand are very good! And Sherlock didn't feel any magic fluctuations on it. It should be a relatively high-level ore. Sherlock couldn't tell what kind of ore it was, but there would be absolutely no problem in giving it to players as equipment rewards.
The size of the armor and the size of the hammer are obviously not suitable for players to use, but can Blacksmith Simba make adjustments? This is why Sherlock came to Blacksmith Simba.
"I understand what Sir Sherlock means, but how many sets of Goblin equipment can be made depends on the specific weapons, equipment and materials."
Blacksmith Simba said this after listening to Sherlock's request.
After giving instructions to Simba, the core of the dungeon "Blue" also suggested:
"Sir Sherlock, I have some suggestions regarding OSS rewards. The weapons and armor of the kobold leader are obviously much stronger than the current weapons and armor made of diamond. I think we can at least set the equipment requirements for the second level of reputation in the dungeon, and the quality It’s more appropriate to set it up to a high level, but there’s still a big problem—the problem of equipment dropping when it dies.”
"Is this a problem? If you want them to work hard, you have to squeeze the currency from them and keep them in a state where they have to work to make money to buy equipment, or use money to buy other things. When the equipment dies, it will drop. After that, they can only work harder to move bricks. If a person has everything and has no desires, how can he work hard."
Sherlock paused, glanced at Simba who was cooking not far away, and continued: "What motivates Simba to cook and forge like a model worker, working every day besides sleeping? Is it because of love? Responsibility? It’s poverty! Poverty is a powerful motivation for hard work in life. So if most players are not kept poor at all times, how can they work hard?”
Sherlock asked.
"What Lord Sherlock said is indeed correct. It is very true. However, Lord Sherlock must also consider one thing, that is, while letting those players work hard, they must ensure entertainment and a happy mood. Players from other worlds, It was very difficult and unfair to live in our own world. Now in this world, if the OSS reward equipment that you have worked so hard to obtain is lost due to accidental death and no companions around you, this kind of situation will happen. The punishment of death is too cruel.”
Blue continued:
"Standard equipment made of diamonds can be purchased later, and currency can also be obtained by moving bricks, but unique equipment is gone if lost. Such a cruel death penalty is likely to cause a large-scale withdrawal from the game. That is to say, those players terminate the master-servant relationship and defect to the dungeon. Even if they do not defect to the dungeon, it is very likely to cause internal strife among the players and attack each other in order to obtain unique weapons and equipment. Lord Sherlock does not want to see this. What happened to my son?"
"This is indeed quite serious." Sherlock nodded and continued: "So your suggestion is that you hope that I can make those unique equipment less easy to lose, right?"
"That's right! In fact, Lord Sherlock, you can completely use me to make these equipment soul-bound to the players who own them. Other people will not be able to use these equipment, which solves the problem of players competing for equipment. As for the situation of frequent large-scale internal strife, high-level demons who are good at magic contracts can definitely do it. The only thing that needs to be solved is to make the equipment not lost. Believe me, Lord Sherlock, this will be very effective. It will greatly improve the players’ sense of belonging to your Eternal Kingdom dungeon and greatly enhance their mood. They will stay here day and night and work hard to move bricks.”
"What you said makes sense. Although it consumes my magic power to bind the souls of the equipment to those players, if I can get them to work hard and move bricks, it will be a worthwhile deal." Sherlock nodded, continued:
"As for preventing the equipment from being lost, spend some money to buy a simple two-way transmission magic circle for small items. Place one end in the dungeon and the other end engraved on the weapon and equipment. When binding the soul, explain the terms of the agreement. , which can ensure that those equipment will not be lost after the player dies."
"That's great, Lord Sherlock. If this can really be done, we only need to go to the official website to release a game upgrade patch and announce this new equipment setting function. Players from other worlds will definitely come to Xia for it." Lord Locke, I rejoice for your great design."
Blue said it with confidence, but Sherlock was not interested in the players cheering. What he cared about was whether the players could continue to work like this without wages or supervision, and still work hard.
In order to ensure that such an effect can be achieved, it is necessary to keep those players in a state of longing for metal currency and reputation, especially metal currency. In short, it is necessary to keep them in a state of poverty or food and clothing at all times. , in order to make money, work hard, work hard, and still feel very happy.
Sherlock was very comfortable.
In order to keep the players in this state and complete their goals of building the greatest dungeon and becoming the greatest demon king, Sherlock came up with another good idea:
"Bru, since it is a unique piece of equipment, I have spent a lot of effort to bind their souls, and I have also spent magic stones to buy two-way teleportation arrays for them. I will definitely have to recoup some of the cost. Use this time to release the game upgrade patch. opportunity, I thought of a good way to recycle their currency on a large scale!"
"What do you mean, Lord Sherlock?"
"The official auction of equipment for the whole server will be conducted. Then I will collect a tax of 20%, no, 30%, and the remaining copper coins will be equally divided among the players participating in the battle."
Blue was silent for a moment. It was obvious that he understood Sherlock's intention:
"Lord Sherlock, are you a devil?"
"Yes, the upper devil."
—————
The players happily returned with the body of the kobold leader Kramer. They stripped him of everything they could find in the dungeon, including a few uneaten steaks, tattered underwear, and manicure tools. file, a mysterious object suspected to be lipstick, a collection of "Kobold Young Wife", and other junk.
Why do you say they are garbage? Because the demon lord Sherlock said so, and what is really valuable is the armor and the huge hammer on the kobold leader Kramer. Even if you don’t know what it is, players I also know that it must be a very cool piece of equipment!
Because their attacks couldn't even destroy the armor's defense, the hammer could easily smash their diamond armor!
The players brought their weapons and armor to Sherlock, and each of them looked at the great demon lord eagerly, hoping that Sherlock would appraise the equipment, and then looking forward to getting the BOSS battle rewards they deserved.
Surrounded by the players, Sherlock sent the armor and hammer to Simba. Simba took a look, made an "OK" gesture, and said:
"This is a weapon made of mithril. At this size, if I want to create equipment and weapons suitable for goblins, I can probably make two pairs of armors and two weapons, but it will take me a day. What weapon do you want to make? Start making it now? Lord Sherlock."
When the players heard what Simba said, they started chatting like crazy.
"Damn it! Are the BOSS rewards freshly made?"
"It's true. I thought I could just open the treasure chest."
"Can I choose my own weapon? I want a Qinglong Yanyue Sword!"
"Hurry up and pull it down. This kind of equipment will definitely not be your turn. The wealthy people have already reserved it."
"But with such good equipment in hand, rich people don't dare to leave the dungeon. Hahaha, it's all in vain if you die if you go out."
"That's what it seems like when you think about it."
The players were talking in a flurry, and Sherlock released some pressure to quiet them down. He made a wait gesture to Simba, and then looked at Simba with wide eyes. Next, he waved his cloak aside and said loudly:
"My loyal citizens of the eternal kingdom, your heroic battles have shocked the entire underground world. The kobold leader Kramo, who once made the residents of the underground world fear him, is no longer a threat to us! In recognition of your achievements, I , Sherlock, the demon lord of the eternal kingdom, has decided to give you rich loot!"
After Sherlock finished speaking impassionedly, Blue issued a server-wide announcement and added:
[Detailed ways to obtain loot will be announced on the official website and forum]
When the players heard Sherlock's words, before they had time to celebrate, they saw the blacksmith Simba nearby smashing the dead kobold leader's head into a mosaic with a hammer. Blowing Beard shouted:
"Fuck! You are Kramo!"
