Chapter 359: Ogres Version Preparation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the gamers experienced the opening Plot at the Ogre Fortress, they followed the Plot notice and returned back to their outposts.
The gamers of Eternal Kingdom received the subsequent mission:
[Mission Title: Start of the Ogre War
Mission Description: The Ogres rallied under the banner of Polio and had the dark power of the Void army. Our all-out attack on the Ogres was thwarted, but we will not give up. There is hope in the world. Be strong, warriors!
Mission Objectives:
Excavate in the Dungeon: 0/60 minutes
Submit organic materials: 0/10
Additional Objectives:
Submit war materials, Magic Stones: 0/10 (Can submit repeatedly)]
The gamers didn’t know and dared not ask why they had to submit Magic Stones for the mission.
Fortunately, it was only an additional objective and not a compulsory objective. Only extremely rich gamers could perform this objective, like Arthur.
A table was placed at the entrance of the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, and Eggface sat behind it. He wrote in a large book and said, “Hmm, submission of ten Magic Stones. Are you Arthur? Let me register your name. You have a reward, your Opinion Points are increased by 10.”
“Wait a moment, what is the meaning of Opinion Points?” NotWearingPants, who accompanied Arthur, asked curiously.
“That’s my favorable opinion of you. I’ll remember your name, chat with you more, and help you become a Houndhead Man,” Eggface said as he deposited the Magic Stones into a Magic Stone card designated by Sherlock.
“Yes, what’s your name? I forgot.” Eggface looked at NotWearingPants.
“I didn’t submit the Magic Stones, it was him.”
NotWearingPants pointed at Arthur, who said without emotion, “Arthur. I’m Arthur.”
“Oh, Arthur. Thank you for the Magic Stones. You may go now. Next!”
Eggface muttered, “All of the Gnomes look the same. I have no choice. Arthur, Arthur, why is it such a sissy name?”
NotWearingPants was angry, but what could he do? He could only create a post on the official website to protest and file a complaint with customer service. However, Black Dragon was the only customer service representative, and there was only an hour of work time. The gamers would take note of the time and harass the customer service representative.
NotWearingPants wasn’t sure if he would have the chance to complain, but he was going to try anyway.
Before that, they had to complete their mission.
The chain mission was a series of continuous missions that involved the accumulation of materials, working at the Winterfell factory for two hours, excavating the Dungeon, logging trees, and mining and transporting ores and other materials to the crossroad of the Surface World exit.
Basically, it was to repeat the Daily Mission, followed by the Weekly Mission.
The gamers worked diligently to complete the mission so that they could explore the Ogre Fortress and unlock the Ogres’ Plot.
It was quite similar over at Victoria. The only difference was that they didn’t have to submit Magic Stones. Even if they were required to submit Magic Stones, they couldn’t afford them.
Sherlock wasn’t idle, and he didn’t play computer games. He was creating the “Instance Dungeon entrance”.
“Lord Sherlock, have you been playing ‘World of Warcraft’ too much? Why are you copying the design of ‘World of Warcraft’?” Bru asked as he gazed at an Instance Dungeon entrance that had a swirling vortex.
“No, how can I be copying it? I’m merely using it as a reference. ‘World of Warcraft’ isn’t the only game to have this Instance Dungeon entrance design. ‘Online Swordsman 3’, ‘Final Fantasy’, and ‘Dragon Nest’ all have similar designs. I researched numerous online games before coming out with the detailed plan of the Ogres’ Plot.”
Sherlock looked at the constructed door, the swirling vortex, and the Mana special effects in the middle of the door. They were provided by his good friend Professor Bacon.
“Lord Sherlock!” A Skeleton walked towards Sherlock, it was Professor Bacon. He said, “We completed your request and installed 200 Teleport Portals at the main gate of the Fortress and at the part of the Fortress wall that has a crevice. Lord Sherlock, why are you installing these items at the Fortress?”
“Ah, I noticed that the design of the Teleport Portal at Specter College is very good. I intend to set up a new entertainment outlet and use it. Thank you for your help. Yes, the price is...”
Professor Bacon quickly said, “What price? You’ve helped Specter College so much. The graduation rate for the Level A examination is 100%, and everyone is singing the praises of the graduates, as the current graduates are of higher quality from the previous graduates. Specter College gained in terms of both reputation and profit. Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to find so many combatants in these peaceful times! We should be thanking Lord Sherlock. So, just take these dual Teleport Portals as tokens of appreciation from Specter College. Please accept our tiny gesture.”
“Aiya, I feel very guilty, Professor Bacon...” Sherlock sighed and looked at Professor Bacon. He then nodded and said, “Okay, since Professor Bacon is so insistent, I shall accept graciously.”
“Lord Sherlock, during the two days of construction, I discovered something that made me uneasy.” Professor Bacon looked worried as he stared at the distant Humans, Fairies, and Elves and said, “Have you opened up the tunnel that connects to the Surface World? The Surface World is full of evil and decadent creatures. It gives me chills just thinking about it. Lord Sherlock, you have to be careful.”
“Ah, don’t worry. These Surface World creatures are different. They aren’t the decadent kind. Do you remember that I mentioned expanding our collaboration? These Surface World creatures were summoned by me, so we don’t have to worry about their death compensation! But considering the costs required to deceive them into coming to the Underworld, I have to charge a little,” Sherlock said to Professor Bacon.
“I see. Since Lord Sherlock has made plans, I won’t have to worry. Don’t you require some special effects? Many of our graduates are good at aesthetics.”
“It’s not necessary. I have received a great deal from Specter College, and if I impose on you further, I’ll feel bad. I’ll take care of the rest,” Sherlock said earnestly.
“Okay, if you insist, I won’t say much. As for using the Surface World creatures as combatants, I will inform you once the school comes to a decision. Don’t worry, it’ll be alright.”
“I’ll have to impose on Professor Bacon.”
“Let’s go, Lord Sherlock, let me show you the progress of the construction.”
After the inspection, Professor Bacon left with the Specter College staff.
The gamers watched from afar. Due to the restraint imposed by Sherlock, they were unable to get close.
The main gate was to be used by the gamers of Eternal Kingdom to enter the Ogre Fortress. As for the crevice made by Lilo, it would be the entrance for the gamers of Victoria City.
Once the infrastructure was completed, the remaining task was the software portion. Sherlock returned to Eternal Kingdom and started editing new content:
