Sherlock put the computer aside, and then walked out of the core hall, first calling out the blacksmith Simba. At this time, there were not many players still active outside, and most of the players were already lying on the ground sleeping. rest. Sherlock didn't care about the regular schedule of these Goblins from another world. First of all, he was not the kind of lord who was harsh on his subordinates. Secondly, his original plan was just to recruit five Goblin workers in advance. But now that I have recruited a hundred of them at once, I don’t have to spend any magic stones myself. Although I still need to provide them with food,
Simba was sleeping. When he heard someone calling him, his first reaction was to lift the hammer and hit him. But when he opened his eyes and saw it was Sherlock, he quickly stood up and said respectfully:
"Lord Sherlock, what's the matter with calling me?"
"I plan to send these goblins to clean up the nearby spider nests. What weapons and armor can be made with the existing materials in the dungeon?"
Sherlock asked directly.
"Clean up the nearby spider nests? Lord Sherlock, you are the first lord I have ever seen who plans to send goblins to fight. However, your batch of goblins is indeed a bit different. Today, there is one in front of me. I hit my face against the wall and died, and another one rushed into my iron stove and committed suicide. Is this the latest way you came up with for them to commit suicide?"
Blacksmith Simba rubbed his eyes, stood up and walked towards the blacksmith shop. Sherlock followed him and said:
"These goblins, their way of thinking and behavior are indeed a little different from ordinary goblins, but they also have many advantages, such as being diligent. Letting them clean up spider lairs is also a way of entertainment." Sherlock thought of the joy and anticipation of the players in the forum for the opening of the new area, and then said: "At least from the information I have, they are still looking forward to cleaning up the spider lair."
"I don't deny that they are diligent. They are more diligent than all the goblins I have ever seen. Of course, they are also stranger." Blacksmith Simba has already walked to the blacksmith shop. After all, it is not far away.
The semi-open blacksmith shop is located in the open space in front of the core hall of the underground city. It is about the size of half a basketball court. It has two iron furnaces and a blacksmithing table. Although the place is small, it is fully equipped. It is on the left side of the blacksmith shop. , you can see many stacked diamonds. This is a very common stone in the underground world. It is also widely used. In addition to being used as a building material, it is also often used as a forging material in the blacksmith shop. one.
Because blacksmiths in the underground world can extract metals used to make weapons, armor and other equipment from large amounts of diamonds.
"Thanks to those diligent goblins, the current diamond reserves can forge hundreds of complete sets of armors and weapons, but it is impossible to strengthen them because there is only stone here." Blacksmith Simba looked around. After looking around, he continued: "But Lord Sherlock is really rich. The average lord will not recruit so many goblins at once. It seems that Lord Sherlock is determined to build one of the best dungeons! How do you do it? Don’t think about hiring an extra blacksmith, I have a younger brother who is very good at craftsmanship and the price is fair…”
Hire another one? Wouldn’t that mean I have to pay wages again? Sherlock is very poor now, and even Simba's salary has not yet been paid. How can he dare to hire another person? If Simba's salary of 100 magic stones is not raised by the end of the month, he might be "nothing" "The most expensive" blacksmith shop is being sued. In that case, Sherlock will be blacklisted by merchants, and it will be difficult to do business in neutral cities in the future.
"We'll talk about your brother later. Let's talk about the equipment first. In the following time, I hope you can build a hundred pairs of armors and weapons as soon as possible. As for weapons, just use daggers."
After Sherlock finished speaking, the blacksmith Simba in front of him immediately said:
"As for the equipment, Lord Sherlock, I think there is something quite abnormal that I need to report to you." Blacksmith Simba said while taking out a thick notebook from his pocket, which recorded In dense words, he said: "Actually, since these goblins started working yesterday, some goblins have come to me to buy equipment. Although I explained to them that there is no equipment for them to use in the dungeon, they still They will come to me every once in a while to ask if I have any equipment, and they will make various requests for the equipment, because they are really annoying. I put this book at the door of the blacksmith shop to let them have any requests. Just write it down in the notebook, I think you need to read it."
Sherlock took the book from the blacksmith Simba's hand and started reading:
[Teacher Saitama]: I hope to be able to purchase glove-type weapons. If we write these suggestions, can the development team see them
[If you have breasts, you’re a mother]: I want to be a magician or a priest. I can also have similar skills. Can I buy a magic wand
… … …
Most of them are messages like this. To put it in a nutshell, they have various ideas and hope to buy messy weapons. I also saw many players from other worlds writing "I hope the weapons have cool shapes."
As for these unreasonable requests, Sherlock immediately decided to reject them all!
Asking Simba to ignore these strange requests and let him concentrate on building a hundred sets of armor weapons and equipment, Simba nodded and agreed, and soon started to start forging iron and forging weapons and armor. The few players around him The children were attracted by the movement in the blacksmith shop, and they stood nearby to watch. This was not the first time that Sherlock saw players from other worlds showing their curiosity, so he didn't care. , using his status as the city lord to scold these other world players for continuing to work hard to move bricks, and then Sherlock said to the blacksmith Simba who was working in front of him:
"By the way, I will price these weapons and armor later. You can make a price tag and hang it at the door of the blacksmith shop, and let these goblins use the metal currency in their hands to purchase weapons and armor."
"Isn't the equipment distributed directly?" Simba asked strangely.
"You also know that my dungeon uses metal currency as a reward to motivate these goblins, and these metal currencies were purchased from the market with magic stones." Sherlock said: "Although these metal currencies It’s not very valuable, but if it is given out as a task reward every day, there will be a day when it is used up. I need to recycle these currencies, and letting them spend money for shopping is a good way.”
In fact, in addition to this reason, Sherlock has already discussed with the core "Blue" before. For these players from other worlds, they prefer to use their own efforts and labor in exchange for rewards. and rewards, instead of receiving free items directly from Sherlock, this will make them more motivated in Sherlock's dungeon and make them feel that they are independent individuals who can change their own lives through their own hard work. Life!
Although Sherlock was not very clear about how they, as goblins, planned to change their lives, in order to increase their enthusiasm, Sherlock decided to adopt the advice of the core "Blue". After all, these players from another world are not It can be understood with the common sense of this world that they do not need any magic stones as wages, but they still work so hard, and will be ecstatic when given a little metal currency, and they also like to use metal currency for transactions in everything. They obviously do not regard themselves as coolies in the underground city, but rather as residents and builders of the underground city.
Sherlock thinks this is good, as it can improve their sense of belonging to the dungeon and make it less likely for runaway and rebellious goblins to appear. The most important thing is that they are still doing hard labor and saving magic stones.
Soon, the first long sword and the first piece of armor that Simba forged were completed. An ordinary blacksmith and blacksmith might need half a day to complete the forging, but of course the blacksmith bought by Sherlock with eight hundred magic stones This is not an ordinary blacksmith shop, and Simba, who earns a monthly salary of one hundred magic stones, is certainly not an ordinary blacksmith.
Sherlock picked up the cooled first long sword and looked at it carefully. There was no hilt. After all, Sherlock's dungeon had no wood resources or carpentry. It would affect the efficiency and power of use, but in the difficult entrepreneurial stage, Sherlock believed that the goblins could overcome these difficulties.
This weapon is unremarkable in Sherlock's eyes. The size is suitable for Goblins, but it is not suitable for Sherlock. After all, Sherlock is much larger than those Goblins.
"Lord, I suggest giving some panel explanations for these equipment, so that players from other worlds can more easily understand the equipment of our world according to the way of their other worlds." When Sherlock was looking at the long sword in his hand When, the core "Blue" said to Sherlock: "Actually, I have drafted an equipment description. Lord, please take a look."
Sherlock nodded and quickly received the equipment description drafted by "Blue". An explanation panel appeared next to the handleless dagger:
[Handleless diamond dagger (white common equipment)]
[Attack power: 0-10]
[Weight: 10]
[Durability: 10]
[Forger: Blacksmith Simba]
[Requires reputation level: Dungeon·Eternal Kingdom reputation level one (the lowest level)]
[The most common standard weapon in the dungeon and the eternal kingdom, refined and forged with diamonds]
Then, an explanation panel appeared on the side of the armor:
[Diamond Armor (white ordinary equipment)]
[Defense: 10]
[Weight: 20]
[Durability: 10]
[Forger: Blacksmith Simba]
[Requires reputation level: Dungeon·Eternal Kingdom reputation level one (the lowest level)]
[The most common standard equipment in the dungeon and the eternal kingdom, refined and forged with diamonds]
It has to be said that the equipment description drafted by "Bru" is quite detailed, and the concept of reputation has been mentioned to Sherlock before by "Bru". This is to allow players from other worlds to express their feelings towards themselves. It is a way of reverence and a way to enhance the sense of belonging of Goblins from other worlds to the dungeon. Anyone who contributes to the dungeon can gain the reputation of the dungeon. The calculation of this reputation Method, "Blue" will record in real time after the new area is opened. After the new area is opened, players from other worlds who complete tasks and turn in materials will gain dungeon reputation. The higher the reputation. Players will be allowed to equip better weapons and equipment, and will also have more benefits in the future.
Those who work hard and make outstanding contributions naturally need to be rewarded. Sherlock also recognized the reputation reward mechanism that "Blue" came up with and passed it with a wave of his hand.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Sherlock returned to the core hall of the dungeon and began to use the computer browser to browse the official website and forum. Looking at the comments from people in other worlds who were full of admiration for his dungeon, Sherlock even felt a little bit I am looking forward to how the players in these other worlds will react after opening the spider lair that I have carefully prepared to them. I don’t know why, but Sherlock feels that he manages the players in these other worlds in this way. It has reached a kind of pleasure that I only had when I was a child playing games with other demon friends. Speaking of my childhood, it was really a nostalgic time...
While Sherlock was browsing the web and forums, and remembering the past here, it was already close to seven o'clock in the morning, and in the dungeon, players from other worlds had woken up and started to move around. Soon, one All the hundreds of players who participated in the first test were present, and not a single one was absent. As soon as these goblins woke up, they saw the blacksmith Simba who was sweating in the blacksmith shop, and they all gathered around him with a roar. .
"Wow?! Simba has started blacksmithing? Is he making equipment?"
"Can we make it ourselves? Where can I learn to forge?"
"Hurry up and see if we can learn it ourselves!"
“Here is a price list for weapons and equipment!
"Are you saying that the server will not be maintained and updated before a new area is opened? Is this game able to complete the update if the server is always open?"
"After all, black technology!"
"Hey, look, new tasks have started to give reputation, dungeon reputation! The game has been updated with new things!"
"It's equipment, it's new areas, it's reputation, there are so many updates today, I can't wait!"
… … …
When these players from another world gathered in front of the blacksmith shop and chatted with each other, Sherlock had already walked towards the blacksmith shop. He cleared his throat and released his power as a rank demon. Pressing, and then looking at the other world players who turned around to look at him, Sherlock said loudly to them:
"Citizens of the Eternal Kingdom! I, the Demon Lord Sherlock, am here to issue a new task to you! Go and clean up the spider lair, for the sake of the Eternal Kingdom dungeon!"
