Chapter 7: Equipment & Prestige & New Regions Opened

Sherlock put the computer aside, then walked out of the core hall and went to call Simba the blacksmith first, at this time there were not many players still active outside, and most of the players were already lying on the ground to sleep and rest. Sherlock didn't care about these goblins from another world for such a regular routine and rest, first of all, he was not the kind of lord who was harsh on his subordinates, and secondly, his original plan was to recruit five goblin laborers in advance, but now he recruited a hundred in one go, and he didn't have to spend any magic stones himself, although he still needed to provide them with food,

Simba was sleeping, and when he heard someone shouting to him, his first reaction was to raise the hammer and knock it, but when he opened his eyes and saw that it was Sherlock, he quickly stood up and said respectfully:

"Lord Sherlock, is there anything calling me?"

"I'm going to send these goblins to clean up the nearby spider nests, what weapons and armor can be made from the existing materials in the dungeon?"

Sherlock asked directly.

"Cleaning up a nearby spider nest? Sherlock-sama, you're the first lord I've ever met who plans to send goblins to battle, but your goblins are a bit different, one of them hit a wall in front of me today, and another committed suicide by storming my iron furnace, is this the latest suicide you came up with for them? ”

Simba the blacksmith rubbed his eyes, stood up and walked towards the blacksmith, and Sherlock followed him:

"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, and letting them clean up spider nests is also considered a way of entertainment." Sherlock thought of the joy and anticipation of the new area opening up among the players in the forums, and said, "At least as far as I know, they are still looking forward to cleaning up the spider's nest. ”

"I don't deny that they are more diligent than all the goblins I've ever seen, and of course more strange." Simba, the blacksmith, had already walked to the blacksmith's shop, after all, Ben wasn't far away.

The semi-open blacksmith shop is located in the open space in front of the core hall of the dungeon, the size is almost the size of half a basketball court, two iron stoves, and a platform for striking iron, although the place is small, there are all kinds of organs, on the left side of the blacksmith shop, you can see many diamonds stacked together, this is a kind of stone that is quite common in the underground world, and its use is also quite wide, in addition to being used as a building material, it is also often used as one of the forging materials in the blacksmith shop.

Because blacksmiths in the underworld can extract metals from large amounts of diamonds to make equipment such as weapons and armor.

"Thanks to those diligent goblins, the current diamond reserves can forge hundreds of full sets of armor and weapons, but it is unlikely to be strengthened, because there is only stone here except stone." Simba, the blacksmith, looked around for a moment and continued: "But Lord Sherlock is really rich, ordinary lords don't recruit so many goblins in one goblin, it seems that Lord Sherlock is determined to build one of the best dungeons!" Why don't you consider hiring an extra blacksmith, I have a younger brother who has a good craftsmanship and a fair price......"

Hire another one? Wouldn't that be the time to pay wages again? Sherlock is very poor now, and even Simba's salary has not yet been settled, where can he dare to hire another one, if Simba's 100 magic stone salary is not raised by the end of the month, he will be accused of "not having the most expensive" blacksmith shop, in that case Sherlock will be blacklisted by the merchants, and it will be difficult to do business in a neutral city in the future.

"We'll talk about your brother's affairs later, let's talk about the equipment first, and in the next time, I hope you can build a hundred pairs of armor and weapons as soon as possible, and if you want weapons, you can use short swords."

After Sherlock finished speaking, Simba, the blacksmith in front of him, followed closely and said:

"Regarding the equipment, Lord Sherlock, I think there's something quite unusual that I need to report to you." Blacksmith Simba said, while taking out a thick notebook from his pocket, which was recorded in dense words, he said: "Actually, since these goblins started working yesterday, there have been goblins who came to me to buy equipment, although I explained to them that there is no equipment in the dungeon for them to use, but they will still come to me every once in a while to ask if there is any equipment, and will make all kinds of requirements for equipment, because they are so annoying, I put this book at the door of the blacksmith shop, Let them write down in the notebook if they have any requirements, I think you need to read it. ”

Sherlock took the notebook in Simba's hand, and looked at it:

[Saitama sensei]: I hope to be able to buy fist weapons, anyway, let's write these suggestions, can the development team see it?

[If you have milk, you are a mother]: I want to be a magician or a priest, and if you have similar skills, can you buy a wand?

………………

Most of them are such comments, and in a nutshell, they have all kinds of ideas, hoping to buy a messy weapon, and they have seen a lot of players from other worlds write "I want the weapon to be handsome and cool".

As for these unreasonable demands, Sherlock decided at the first time to reject them all!

Let Simba ignore these strange requests, let him concentrate on building a hundred sets of armor weapons and equipment, Simba nodded and agreed, and soon ignited the fire and prepared to start striking iron to forge weapons and armor, the few players on the side were immediately attracted by the movement of the blacksmith shop, and they all stood on the side to watch, Sherlock is not the first time to see these players from another world show their curiosity, but they will not care, using the identity of the city lord to scold these players from another world to continue to work hard to move bricks, Sherlock then said to Simba, the blacksmith who was working in front of him:

"By the way, I'll put a price on these weapons and armor later, you can make a price tag to hang at the door of the blacksmith's shop, and let these goblins use the metal currency in their hands to buy weapons and armor."

"Isn't the equipment just being distributed?" Simba asked curiously.

"You also know that my dungeon is rewarded with metal currency to motivate these goblins, and these metal coins are purchased from the bazaar with magic stones." Sherlock said, "It's not very valuable, but if you give them out as a quest reward every day, the day when they run out, I'll need to recycle them, and it's a good idea for them to spend money on purchases." ”

In fact, in addition to this reason, Sherlock has already discussed with the core "Blue" before, for these players from another world, they prefer to exchange their efforts and labor for rewards and rewards, rather than receiving free items directly from Sherlock's side, which will make them more motivated in Sherlock's dungeon, making them feel that they are independent individuals who can change their lives through their own hard work!

Although Sherlock didn't know exactly what they planned to change as a goblin, in order to increase their enthusiasm, Sherlock still decided to adopt the advice of the core "Blue", after all, these players from another world can't understand with the common sense of this world, they don't need any magic stones as wages, and they will work so hard that they will be ecstatic when given a little metal currency, and they like to use metal currency for everything to trade, They apparently do not see themselves as coolies in the dungeon, but rather as the inhabitants and builders of the dungeon.

Sherlock thinks it's a good thing to do to improve their sense of belonging to the dungeon, it's not easy to run away and rebel goblins, and most importantly, they're still working as coolies and saving magic stones.

Soon, Simba's first long sword and first armor were completed, and ordinary blacksmiths and blacksmiths may take half a day to complete, but the blacksmith shop bought by Sherlock Eight Hundred Magic Stones is certainly 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 first longsword that had cooled down and looked at it carefully, there was no hilt, after all, Sherlock's dungeon had no wood resources, and there was no carpentry, and the feeling of holding it was a little poor, and if there was no hilt, it would also affect the efficiency and power of use, but in the hard work stage, Sherlock believed that those goblins could overcome these difficulties.

This weapon is mediocre in Sherlock's eyes, and the size is good for goblins, but not for Sherlock, who is much bigger than those goblins.

"My lord, I suggest that some panel explanations be given to these equipment, so that it can be convenient for players from other worlds to understand the equipment of our world, according to their other world ways." While Sherlock was looking at the sword in his hand, the core "Blue" said to Sherlock, "Actually, I have already drafted a description of the equipment, Lord Lord, please take a look. ”

Sherlock nodded, and quickly received the equipment instructions drafted by "Blue", and an explanation panel appeared next to the handleless dagger:

【Handleless Vajra Short Sword (White Normal Equipment)】

[Attack: 0-10]

[Weight: 10]

[Durability: 10]

【Forger: Simba the Blacksmith】

[Reputation Required: Dungeon Eternal Realm Fame Level 1 (Primary)]

[The most common standard weapon in Dungeon Eternal Realm, forged from diamond refining]

Then on the side of the armor, an explanation panel also appeared:

【Vajra Armor (White Equipment)】

[Defense: 10]

[Weight: 20]

[Durability: 10]

【Forger: Simba the Blacksmith】

[Reputation Required: Dungeon Eternal Realm Fame Level 1 (Primary)]

[The most common standard equipment in Dungeon Eternal Realm, made of diamond refining and forging]

I have to say that the equipment description drafted by "Blue" is still quite detailed, and the concept of prestige, "Blue" has been mentioned to Sherlock before, this is a way for players in other worlds to express their reverence for themselves, and it is also a way to enhance the sense of belonging of those otherworld goblins to the dungeon, but anyone who contributes to the dungeon can obtain the prestige of the dungeon, and this prestige calculation method, "Blue" will be recorded in real time after the new area is opened, When the new area is opened, players from another world who complete quests and turn in materials will gain dungeon reputation, and the higher the reputation, the better the weaponry, and more benefits in the future.

For those who work hard and make outstanding contributions, it is natural to be rewarded, and Sherlock also recognizes the prestige reward mechanism that "Blue" came up with, and passes it with a wave of his hand.

After dealing with these trivial things, Sherlock returned to the core hall of the dungeon, and began to use the official website and forum of the computer browser, looking at the comments of those people from other worlds who were amazed by their dungeons, Sherlock was even a little looking forward to what kind of reaction these players from other worlds would be after opening their carefully prepared spider nests to these players in other worlds, I don't know why, managing these players in other worlds in this way, Sherlock felt a sense of joy that he had when he was a kid playing games with other demon friends, and it was a nostalgic time when he was a child......

When Sherlock browsed the web and forums, and was nostalgic for the old days, the time was close to seven o'clock in the morning, and in the dungeon, there were already players from other worlds who woke up and started activities, and soon, all the players who participated in the first test arrived, and none of them were absent, as soon as these goblins woke up, they saw Simba, the blacksmith who was sweating in the blacksmith shop, and all of them came around at once.

"Wow?! Did Simba start striking iron? Are you making equipment? ”

"Can we make our own? Where to learn blacksmithing? ”

"Let's see if we can learn it ourselves!"

"Here is a price list for weapons and equipment!

"Anyway, won't the server be maintained for updates before the new area is opened? This game has been open and the server can be updated? ”

"After all, black technology!"

"Hey, look, new quests are starting to give prestige, dungeon prestige! The game has been updated with something new! ”

"It's equipment, it's a new area, it's prestige, it's a lot of 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, released his coercion as a rank demon, and then looked at the players from the other world who turned to look at him, Sherlock said loudly to them:

"Ladies of the eternal kingdom! I, Demon Lord Sherlock, have a new mission for you! Go clean up the Spider's Lair for the Eternal Kingdom dungeon! ”
