"Hello! Ay? Can't this game use emojis? ”

One of them, a goblin with big eyes and a high nose that still couldn't change her ugliness, said in a hoarse female voice, apparently this goblin was a woman.

"Of course not, this game is virtual reality, it all depends on a neural capture system, a game that is completely detached from the traditional mouse and keyboard, you look at my tongue, a little slightly, how flexible, can other games do this?" Right next to the female goblin, another male goblin said as he moved his tongue.

"So what are we going to do now, doesn't this game have a beginner's tutorial?"

And the goblins asked.

"yes, there's no task to do? Free to explore? ”

"That's the lord of the castle, right? Demon Lord Sherlock? Wow, this NPC modeling is too handsome! ”

"By the way, can we players choose the class of Demon Lord?"

"It's just the first test now, there is only one class, Goblin, the official website says, there will be more classes open after the game is perfected in the future!"

"Will there be an opening animation later?"

………………

The core hall of the dungeon in front of them has become a chat hall for a hundred players from these different worlds, in the process of chatting, they will also give themselves a variety of names, some are very strange, some are quite serious, and then green conspicuous names appear on their heads, some people will have a simple exchange, and most of them have begun to wander around the dungeon, touching here and there, but the entrance and exit of the dungeon has been closed by Sherlock, They were concentrated in the core hall of the dungeon at this time, and the place was not very large, even if they were wandering around, there was no place to go.

"Quiet! You servants from another world! I am your noble demon lord Sherlock, and from this day forward, you will be the people of the Dungeon Eternal Realm, and your mission is to build the Eternal Realm into the greatest dungeon ever built! Now, go claim your quest and start building the dungeon! ”

After Sherlock finished speaking, he ordered the core "Blue" to issue the tasks that had been planned before to these players from another world.

The connection between the dungeon lord and the dungeon minions is all done through the dungeon core, and Sherlock can give tasks to these minions remotely through the core, but according to the words of "Blue", it may not be easy to order these goblins directly, it is best to command them through paid tasks, and most of the so-called rewards are naturally metal currencies such as copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.

When Sherlock orders "Blue" to place a quest, a questbar-like box appears in front of the players' eyes, followed by a prompt to claim the quest.

"Dig up a hundred diamonds? My newbie task is mining! ”

"I'm on this mission too! The reward is ten copper coins! ”

"Where are the diamonds?"

"I'm moving a hundred diamonds to the blacksmith's shop, why am I moving bricks? I'm going to mine too! ”

………………

Goblins who have received the mining quest will naturally receive the only twenty pickaxes in the dungeon, while most of the other goblins will receive the task of carrying ores, which will be smelted into usable metals to make new pickaxes, or other iron tools, and of course, shields, armor, and weapons!

How can a dungeon be without armed forces?

The dungeons of the Eternal Realm, which had been abandoned for many years and had never been developed, were surrounded by dangerous and uncharted areas, with all kinds of underground creatures roaming around, some of which even Sherlock found a little tricky, especially Warcraft.

Of course, the number of monsters is extremely rare, and the strength is much stronger than ordinary beasts, such as crypt spiders, killing vines, dire wolves, and so on, if in the process of expanding the dungeon, these monsters continue to break into the dungeon through the excavated passages, or open dungeon entrances and exits, it will still make Sherlock feel annoyed, so it is quite necessary to arm his minions and let the dungeon have a certain self-defense ability.

What's more, these monsters can be used as food for goblins, and Sherlock can't always go to the market to buy food for these goblins, knowing that going to the market will cost a teleportation scroll, which is quite an expensive magic item.

These goblins from another world are very strange in behavior and speech, will name themselves, will repeatedly check their ugly body and appearance, and have a strong curiosity and social beyond the ordinary goblin, and are also very bold, Sherlock has seen a lot of goblins will take the initiative to run over to greet him, kneel down and even tell jokes to himself!

You must know that a low-level creature like a goblin, when it sees a demon with a rank like Sherlock, it will naturally feel a sense of fear, but these goblins from another world are not afraid, not just simply not afraid of Sherlock, they are more like, not afraid of death!

Sherlock is even more certain when he sees a goblin trying to put his hand into the stove that Simba the blacksmith has lit, and is thrown out of the blacksmith shop by Simba.

Sherlock naturally doesn't respond to these goblins' strange behavior, although they behave strangely, they are still very neat and actionable!

Even if they were not paid this month's salary or given any food, they still began to dig and carry in full swing after receiving the task, and there was no sign of losing enthusiasm or wanting to be lazy.

And after completing the task, they will go to Sherlock to receive the reward as soon as possible, copper coins, and then count the quantities one by one, and carefully put them in their pockets, as if they were some amazing treasure.

The goblin who has completed the mining task will also consciously send the ore pickaxe to Sherlock, and then there will be other goblins who have received the mining task, and then come to Sherlock to get the ore pickaxe, and then rush to mine.

Sherlock has not been to other dungeons, and the goblins in other dungeons cannot have such work efficiency and enthusiasm, even if they are paid on time and provided with good food, they may still be lazy and slack off at work, and usually there will be orcs with leather whips as overseers.

If you don't provide wages and food, the goblins will just run away.

Although these goblins from another world behave strangely and love useless metal currency, after seeing their efficiency and enthusiasm, Sherlock is not dissatisfied, and the goblins who are capable of saving magic stones and can even spend money on food are within the acceptable range.

"My esteemed Sherlock, now that our first beta has successfully begun, I feel the need to refine our game content and official website information! For example, game maps, Bestiary, new open areas, etc. ”

As Sherlock watched the busy work of these otherworldly goblins, temporarily acting as an overseer, the core "Blue" said to him.

To be honest, Sherlock didn't understand it, what game maps, monster guides, new open areas, Sherlock can understand them individually, but when put together, what does this mean?

Blue was obviously well aware of Sherlock's confusion, and then explained: "You also see, these goblins from another world, they are very different, you can understand that they use this world as a place for their games, mining and handling are hard work for the goblins in this world, but for the goblins in the other world, that is, for these players, mining and transportation is a way of entertainment games, in this world they start a new life, a new journey, That's why they have maintained such a high level of enthusiasm and efficiency, and they will continue to do so in the future, and what they need is not wages or food, but more ways to play! ”

"So I need to open up more places for these goblins to be playgrounds? Build entertainment venues like other dungeons, let them play mud, play wrestling, watch shows? ”

Sherlock thought about it, this is understandable, after all, other dungeon city owners usually do this in order to keep their subordinates happy, but Sherlock is a little embarrassed, that is, he is very short of magic stones now, and he can't afford to hire an exhibition team or wrestler, so it's okay to let them play with mud.

"That's pretty much what it means, but for these players, they prefer another more peaceful form of entertainment than playing mud, watching wrestling, and watching performances, adventurous!"

The core "Blue" quickly explained what exactly these players' favorite forms of entertainment meant.

To put it simply, these players don't like to stay in the dungeon all the time, they prefer to go out to explore the unknown world, and fight with cruel beasts, the more brutal and bloody battles, the more they can feel happy, even death can't stop them from pursuing the pace of excitement, especially like to open up wasteland, if they encounter a strong opponent, they will even dozens of hundreds of people to challenge together, even if the sacrifice is not hesitating, the only thing they want is to kill this powerful opponent, of course, After defeating a strong enemy, it is generally necessary to give them a good reward, which can be gold, preferably equipment.

This is not difficult to do, the beasts in the underground world, their bones and fur can be made into some equipment, the more powerful the beast can make the equipment, if it is a magical beast, it can even make its own magical equipment, which can be sold at a very high price in the market.

Of course, these equipment are all garbage in Sherlock's eyes, and demons with rank have always relied on their own strength, magic props are just auxiliary work, and armor weapons or something are completely superfluous for a demon like Sherlock.

After "Blue's" explanation, Sherlock understood that it was to open up a new area by himself, and that area should have a stable source of monsters, loot and treasures, and it would be better if there was a maze or a powerful beast as a boss or something, and this area would be used for those players in another world to have adventures as entertainment.

For this reason, I have to make a map, make a related monster book, prepare enough loot, etc., although it is more troublesome, but for Sherlock, it is not a difficult thing, it just so happens that Sherlock also plans to go out to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, as for those monsters in the underground world, it is also a development resource for Sherlock, and sooner or later he will have to let his minions kill those monsters and bring back their corpses, if you think about it like this, You can save a lot of magic stones and provide a place for these goblins to have fun.

As long as you can save magic stones, it is a good deal!

Sherlock listened to Blue's advice and gave him the task of assigning quest rewards, then went out for a walk around the dungeon himself, and soon picked a suitable playground - the Spider Cave!

If there is anything that underground monsters can act as a stable source of monsters, it is definitely the underground spiders, these spiders reproduce quickly, there are many of them, and they are densely packed almost all over the entire underground world, as long as there is a spider queen who lays eggs, there will definitely be dozens or hundreds of them for you to show in the blink of an eye, not only that, but also likes to dig holes, and the whole nest is like an underground labyrinth, even Sherlock is not willing to go to the spider's nest to walk around.

There are also many other underground creatures in the lair, such as killer vines, underground worms, low-IQ kobolds, and so on.

These creatures aren't very strong, but they're more than enough to challenge players from other worlds.

After Sherlock chose the new area to be opened to players from another world, he was about to return to the dungeon, and he was just about to leave, when he heard the dungeon core "Blue" speaking to him:

"Lord Sherlock, a player has died."
