Chapter 5: Dungeon Monster Manual

"What? My servant died? How did he die? Is there an invasion from a foreign enemy?"

Sherlock didn't expect that something happened in the dungeon not long after he came out. He hurried back. On the way, "Blue", the core of the dungeon, also briefly explained the situation.

It was not that there was an invasion by foreign enemies, but that a player committed suicide by hitting the wall.

Why do goblins in other worlds commit suicide for no reason? Is it because the tasks assigned to them are too heavy? Sherlock didn't understand that he was already a very kind and enlightened city lord. Even though these goblins from another world had so many weird needs, he tried his best to satisfy them, but he didn't expect that some of them would commit suicide!

In this regard, the core "Bru" has his own explanation:

"Maybe I want to see how to resurrect after death. After all, this is my first time in this world. I want to be familiar with many operations. It is also normal to have some strategies when I go back to another world."

Although Sherlock really couldn't figure out what to do about suicide, he rushed back to the dungeon immediately and saw the player who committed suicide surrounded by a group of players.

"Is this [Umekawa Kuko] running away? Why hasn't he come back to life after lying down for so long?"

"Probably some resurrection conditions are required? After all, it is a brand new game mode."

"Maybe after death, there is no way to resurrect and we have to start from scratch?"

"Is it the same as the setting in "Sword Art Online"? The death penalty is too harsh. I'm trying to convince you to quit. If this is the case, this game will be too hardcore."

"This game is supposed to be hard-core. With this picture quality and this 100% realistic virtual reality, even the permanent death penalty is normal, right?"

"Hurry up, the lord is back!"

"Wow! Can death alarm the lord? The NC interaction in this game is too real!"

Those players not only watched the dead [Umekawa Kuroko], but also gathered together to discuss whether [Umekawa Kuroko] could be resurrected and when. Sherlock's return caused some problems among these players. There was a commotion, and everyone quickly moved out of the way, allowing Sherlock to walk in front of the dead [Mekawa Kuko].

Sherlock knew this dead player from another world. He was the first to come out of the portal. He still had the green name [Mekawa Kuko] on his head. He was already dead and lying on the ground without breathing. , the cause of death was obviously caused by hitting a wall, as seen from the green forehead.

Of course there is a way to resurrect him, but he needs to go to the underworld to redeem his soul first. Sherlock felt that rather than spending a lot of energy to go to the underworld to resurrect him, it would be more convenient to summon a goblin again.

Just when Sherlock was about to give up on the goblin and throw his body outside the dungeon, the core of the dungeon "Blue" stopped him and said:

"Wait a moment, Lord. This goblin's soul has not been returned to the underworld. He is still in the core, Lord."

After hearing Blue's words, Sherlock focused his attention on the core of the dungeon, and sure enough he saw a group of white things floating up and down in the core. This was the soul of the goblin! But this soul seemed unconscious, and Sherlock tried to communicate with him but there was no response.

"Did you take away his soul? Even if it is a creature from another world, its soul should go to the underworld first after death. Are you so capable? Or is this Goblin so capable?"

Sherlock couldn't understand what was happening in front of him. Although he could do it, he had to take back his soul as soon as possible.

"When I summoned them, I played a little trick. The underworld of this world will not detect or collect their souls. In fact, whether they can be called souls is still up for debate. I prefer to call them consciousness. In short, After death, you only need to repair their bodies and then put their consciousness back into the body to resurrect them. Of course, if the body is completely shattered, you can only send their consciousness back and then resurrect them. Summoned, this operation in another world is called - recreating a character!"

Blue said so.

"Is this a new function of Dungeon Core? I didn't see the relevant description in the manual?" In fact, when Blue was halfway through talking, Sherlock had already taken out the "Dungeon" that the sales girl had left for him. "Operation Instructions", but I didn't see any relevant instructions during the Dungeon Core instructions.

"No, it should be said that it is my unique function. After all, I can think of combining magic and technology. By the way, technology is similar to the magic of another world. It can communicate thousands of miles away and allow people to communicate with each other. People with magical powers fly into the sky and can even send their own images and sounds to hundreds of millions of people at the same time!"

Blue said proudly.

Although Sherlock is very curious about the magic of another world called "technology", he is not yearning for it, because Sherlock can also do these things, but the magic power may be a bit high, at least the goblins from these other worlds Judging from his actions, I don't have any wild thoughts about the other world on that side. It's probably the world of a madman.

Now that he knows that these things were done by Blue, Sherlock will not ask any more questions. Mortals may be full of curiosity and shock about resurrection, but as a rank demon, Sherlock has many ways to be resurrected. His servants are just not as convenient as "Blue".

It's not too difficult to just repair the body. Sherlock stretched out his hand and injected a little bit of magic power into the corpse of [Mekawa Kuko] lying on the ground in front of him. Soon, the green head of the corpse was hit by the wall. The damaged head began to recover slowly, and soon it returned to its original appearance. Then "Blue" guided the soul, which he called consciousness, and reinjected it into [Umikawa Kuko]'s body. .

The next second, [Umekawa Kuko] took a deep breath and got up.

"Fuck! He's resurrected!"

"Does the resurrection mechanism of this game require the lord to resurrect himself?"

"I thought the account would be gone if I died!"

"Brother, how do you feel after you die? Are there any corpses?"

"Is it related to the degree of damage to the body? You see, the lord repaired his body first and then resurrected him."

Everyone was discussing the issue of resurrection around [Mekawa Kuko], and then they saw a person shouting "I'll give it a try too!" and then bravely rushed into Blacksmith Xin's house. Tomoe went into the iron-making furnace, and of course he was dead.

Sherlock had a headache. He didn't expect that a second player would commit suicide so soon, and he would commit suicide in this way. In order to prevent more players from trying to commit suicide, Sherlock waved his hand and released his own level. The demon's pressure ordered these goblins to continue completing the task.

Only then did these Goblins disperse. As for the Goblin who jumped into the furnace and was burned to dregs, about thirty minutes later, he was summoned back from another world by the core "Bru". His appearance has changed since then, and his name is still the same as before, but all the copper coins on his body are gone. According to Blue, it was him who created the account again.

Sherlock had a preliminary understanding of the strange actions of the players in front of him.

He also needs to complete the map of the new area, the monster illustrated book, and the relevant update instructions on the official website as Blue said, so he will not continue to supervise the work here. Anyway, without him here, these players will not be enthusiastic about work. What big impact will it have? All he has to do is mark out a large construction area and work targets, and then "Bru" will announce mining and transportation to these players as tasks.

Sherlock returned to the magic item called the computer, logged into the official website of his dungeon, and then, under Blue's suggestion, started editing a new announcement in accordance with the wording habits and tone of the other world - ["Underground" The first beta test of "City: Eternal Kingdom" went smoothly! Tomorrow we will start a new map test—Spider Lair!]

In Sherlock's view, issuing these announcements and maintaining the website is equivalent to advertising one's own dungeon in another world and increasing its popularity. After all, it is the greatest dungeon in the future. If it does not have some popularity, it is definitely not possible. !

The content of the announcement is mainly the map drawn by Sherlock from the simple dungeon to the spider lair, and then the illustrated guide of the monsters that exist in the spider lair. The most important thing is the introduction and strength of the monsters.

for example:

[Monster Name: Underground Spider

Monster introduction: One of the most common creatures living in the underground world. It has no IQ, is afraid of light, and will actively attack most species. If you do not have certain strength and see this creature alone, please be sure to do so as soon as possible. Run away because they live in groups!

Level: 0-5

Possible loot: spider legs, spider meat, spider silk (rare) and others.

Note: Most of the loot can be exchanged for currency in the dungeon core lobby.]

[Monster name: Killer Vine

Monster introduction: It sounds like a plant, but it is actually an animal. It usually disguises itself as a vine and attacks creatures that are undoubtedly passing by. It is easy to kill.

Level: 0-2

Possible loot: Killer Vine fur, Killer Vine meat, and more.

Note: Most of the loot can be exchanged for currency in the dungeon core lobby.]

Such introduction, in addition to these ordinary creatures, Sherlock also arranged an OSS-level creature.

[Monster name: Spider Queen

Monster introduction: There is usually only one queen in a group of underground spiders. She has a strong sense of territory and is usually protected by a large number of underground spiders. Usually you can’t see her because you haven’t gotten close to her yet. It will be killed by a large number of underground spiders in the periphery.

Level: OSS

Possible loot: spider legs, spider meat, spider silk (rare), spider eggs (extremely rare), spider queen's hair (extremely rare) and others.

Note: The Spider Queen's hair is a magic material that Lord Sherlock is interested in. If it can be obtained, it will gain a lot of Lord Sherlock's favorability and reputation points.]

"Although I am indeed very interested in the Spider Queen's hair because it can be sold for a good price and can be used to create powerful armor, but why does my servant offer me trophies? If I want to improve my favor with him, he will still learn from me. What about gaining prestige here?”

Although he edited it according to "Blue"'s suggestion, Sherlock couldn't help but raise his own questions.

"Because the players in these other worlds are different from ordinary underground creatures, they all pay great attention to their own sense of existence and honor." Blue said: "You are their lord, your favorability and the wealth obtained from you Reputation is a way for them to show their sense of existence and honor, and it is an expression of their respect for you. Of course, having a lot of metal currency is another way."

Sherlock nodded. That's it. This kind of mood of inferior people flattering and getting close to superiors, hoping to gain attention and favor, is also normal in the underground world, but why does this method sound so similar? What about those human knights on the surface world? They value honor more than anything else, even their own lives.

After Sherlock finished editing the contents of these announcements, he carefully checked that there were no mistakes in his description of the opening of the new playground, and then clicked to send it out.

After the announcement was sent, Sherlock looked at the time. It has been more than half a day since he started summoning a hundred players from another world. Outside the core hall of the dungeon, most of the players from another world They are still busy, completing various cool tasks to obtain metal currency, and some players from other worlds are already lying on the ground motionless. Of course, they are not dead, but asleep. According to "Blue" Said they were offline.

Naturally, there is no distinction between night and day in the underground world, but as the lord of the underground city, Sherlock still has a sense of time. In fact, many dungeons will imitate the alternation of day and night in the surface world, but Sherlock At this time, the dungeon was not so large that it required alternation between night and day, and he was certainly not rich and extravagant enough.

As time goes by, many goblins outside have fallen asleep and "offlined". Because the dormitories have not been built yet, they can only find a place to sleep. However, the construction of the dungeon will be closer in the future. After perfecting and building dormitories for resting, these goblins will no longer have to sleep all over the dungeon.

Blacksmith Simba also took out his sleeping bag, found a place where there were not many players, and got into the sleeping bag. He also used a hammer to knock away a few goblins who were curious to watch him sleep. Sherlock didn't care. After the quarrel among his subordinates, he returned his attention to the official website. He wanted to see what the guys from the other world thought of his great dungeon.

Soon, he found the most popular post among the various forum posts that had the most replies—

[First test players have revealed the most complete and cutting-edge strategy for "Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom"!]
