"Damn it, offline maintenance with updates?!"
"Isn't this game always updated online? Is it going to be updated offline this time?"
"The server has been running for a month. If we don't maintain the server, are we waiting for it to explode?"
"Not bad. It's much better than the Penguin server. It only needs to be shut down once a month for maintenance."
"How long will it be maintained? Is there any announcement on the official website?"
"Quickly log off to check it out, walk around, and log off in the residential area."
…
The so-called residential area is the plot of land planned by Sherlock and sold to the players for one silver coin and two square meters. It is no more than two hundred square meters, which is enough for each player to buy a piece of land.
That’s right, each player is only allowed to purchase a two-square-meter piece of private land.
To be honest, if this wasn't to take care of the players' gaming experience and their privacy, it would allow them to put a single bed or even a private storage box.
Sherlock even plans to build a Datong bunkhouse with seven or eight floors, so that everyone can sleep together. This can not only save land, improve land utilization, but also enhance the relationship between players. Maybe they can also develop some dormitory culture, even though they are offline. When I sleep, I usually fall asleep without any movement at all.
Speaking of dormitory culture, Sherlock couldn't help but think back to his ninety years of compulsory education. It was really a lush time...
"Lord Sherlock, everyone has been offline, and those who have not been offline have also been forced to go offline."
When Sherlock was still recalling his school days in his youth, "Blue" said this from the side.
Sherlock looked outside the core hall. Only a small number of Goblins were sleeping in the square outside the core hall. Most of the Goblins had returned to the living area and gone offline.
However, at the corner of the residential area beyond the blacksmith shop and the carpenter's house, there is a newly opened room, and Sherlock's location cannot be seen.
Sherlock walked out of the core hall. It was extremely quiet outside, and Sherlock was not used to it.
He first carried a few goblins lying outside the core hall to the corner and piled them up. Then he saw a goblin lying in the nursery next to the blacksmith shop. He walked over and carried the goblin as well. Get up and throw them to the corner together.
The little goblin who was huddled on the bed next to the flower bed watched with fear as the demon lord piled his people into the corner like garbage. The goblins were thrown into the corner in a parabola. Inside, there was a "bang" sound.
The evil demon lord in front of him has no mercy for his subordinates. It's terrible!
As for these goblins who were chattering so loudly and harassing me in various ways every day, they suddenly seemed possessed, chatting and laughing and ran to the room to sleep. Some of them didn't. Those who went there suddenly fell to the ground outside. Even the goblin who had been planting flowers in the flower garden with the word "Rain Tea" on his head suddenly fell to the ground facing the soil.
This demon lord must have cast some evil curse or magic. It's really terrifying!
The little goblin couldn't help but shrink back again.
Sherlock ignored the whimsical goblin. After he cleaned up the bodies of all the players who were blocking his way, he became worried about Moros, Mufasa and Simba who were still in the dungeon.
Two black iron dwarves and a goblin were wondering what happened to the goblins in the dungeon, but the lord obviously had no intention of explaining. He took the magic stone card and said to them:
"Today I will settle your salary. Calculate it according to the daily salary. Unify the time so that we can pay the salary together next time. In addition, we will give you two days off. You can go to Winterfell to play, or go home to visit your family. You can’t always work all day long, 672 hours a month is enough, I’m still a very reasonable lord.”
As soon as everyone heard that their wages were paid, it was actually not very important what Sir Sherlock said later.
After all, no matter how much you say, it's all in vain. As long as the salary is in place, no matter if you work overtime at 996, 12127 or even 727, everyone will accept it!
Otherwise, why would you work so hard to go to work? is love? Is it responsibility
It’s poverty!
Even in the underground world, things still need to be done properly.
Do you still think that the days of living by dark hatred, bloody killings, and destruction of the world are the old times
Everyone happily received their wages, and Sherlock also kindly provided a teleportation scroll to send the three of them to the teleportation gate reception hall in Winterfell. Then he returned to the eternal kingdom, turned on the computer, and began to edit the article he had written. Background story, main plot, and related update announcements:
"Many years ago, the underground world has been in a state of disorder and evil. The residents of the underground world have been shrouded in darkness, death and endless despair for tens of thousands of years.
And thousands of years ago, the dawn of order appeared in the north of the underground world... "
All in all, it describes a once extremely chaotic and evil underground world, deeply trapped in the apocalyptic hell of blood and fire.
Then several powerful upper demons appeared, and they joined forces to defeat other demons representing the attributes of chaos, expelled them, and built an underground world full of order.
It's a little bit bloody, but according to Blue, players like this kind of background story. At least they become righteous friends from the moment they are born.
Then there is the version plot to be added:
"[The latest version of "Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom": Army of the Undead]:
The underground world has maintained peace and order for thousands of years, but the demons who were banished to the abyss are still trying to destroy the underground world.
With the appearance of the Abyss Demon Commander, Pei Mannoroth Gen, the entire underground world is once again shrouded in the shadow of the Abyss...
The undead army led by the Abyss Demon Commander Pei Mannolos Gen appeared near the dungeon of the Eternal Kingdom. Although this time, they were repelled by the heroes from the Eternal Kingdom, but Pei Mannolos. Gen and his undead army have established a foothold in the underground world.
The predecessor of the Academy of the Undead was Ranada, a famous academy that taught magic. Many famous mages were produced here.
In ancient times, Ranlada chose to help the camp of order. As one of the battlefields where Chaos and Order once fought, Ranlada was completely destroyed.
The once beautiful Ranada has become filled with death. It is a forbidden place for the living but a paradise for the dead.
According to the information sent back by the eternal kingdom [the non-existent intelligence agency], the abyss commander Pei Mannolos Gen returned to this battlefield and established a college of the undead. In the college of the undead, the tyrannical, Skeleton soldiers who are out of control at any time, and lichs who control the power of the dead are entrenched here. Their number is still growing. When will they attack the eternal kingdom dungeon again? Or do you have other goals? Is Abyss Commander Pe Mannoroth Gen still in the School of the Dead
There are still many mysteries about them, the answers to which no one knows...
People of the eternal kingdom, heroes of the underground world! Take up your weapons and defend the underground world we love! "
After Sherlock finished editing these, he continued to edit a version update log—["Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom" update log version 0.03]
