“Sherlie, don’t run around. I can’t take a screen capture properly!”
“I have to find a good angle. Can you help me take a screen capture? I want to snuggle up with Sherlie.”
“What’s up after the declaration of loyalty? Gosh, is this the mission for carrying bricks?”
“I want to kill the legendary Underground Spiders! Where are the Spiders?”
“Where’s the Blacksmith Shop? I want the best sword in town.”
“Wah, Bro, aren’t you afraid of being hacked to death by the First Beta Gamers? You’re bad!”
A group of a thousand gamers stood at the plaza outside the Dungeon Core Main Hall and chatted enthusiastically.
It was fortunate that Sherlock had planned the Dungeon with a grand vision in mind. Nevertheless, with thousands of Goblins in the central plaza, it looked crowded.
The feeling was like...
“It’s like seeing junior high students gathering at a field before doing broadcast exercises. It’s nostalgic...” Bru said with fondness, though he quickly said to Sherlock, “I feel that only if Lord Sherlock stands here will you be able to control the situation.”
“I didn’t summon them to let them take pictures with me.” Sherlock stood at the plaza and saw a continuous flow of new gamers coming out from the Teleport Portals. They followed Bru’s instructions to kneel down and swear allegiance.
An extremely loyal gamer knelt down on both his legs and kowtowed three times as he muttered to himself.
Though Bru had assigned them missions to carry bricks and other miscellaneous activities, the gamers who went directly to work were few in number.
Most of the Second Beta Gamers were still astonished by the unique experience.
The astonishment of the highly realistic Game World.
The gamers were attracted to the trash carried by the First Beta Gamers from the Ancient Ruins. They were even interested in the stone slab on the floor.
They would take half a day to examine them in detail.
Not to mention the crazy chattering of the Goblins after they gathered at the plaza.
Even when they received missions from Bru, they weren’t in a hurry to complete them.
This was not a 2D, nor was it a 3D game with a mission panel and a small figure on the screen. This was not a game that gamers could follow with mission tips, look at the world map, depend on an automatic pathfinder, and close their eyes to complete the missions.
Most of the Second Beta Gamers intended to wait for their First Beta Mentors.
In such a hardcore game, without a mentor’s guidance, the novices would have to endure unnecessary hardships.
Dragonborn looked at the nearby living and breathing Goblins who had eyes and noses.
Those fantastical creatures who would only appear in games or cinema were now standing in front of him. Of course, their appearances were slightly different from what he had seen.
The feeling was like traveling to another world. It was not like playing a game.
Just like what the veterans were saying, “This is a game. This is not a game.”
No matter who the gamer was, he would have this feeling the first time he entered “Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom.”
Dragonborn looked dazed at the numerous Goblins. He wondered what he should be doing when a system notice appeared in his mind.
[Novice Tutorial Mission: Carrying Bricks (Daily Mission)
Mission Description: The development of Eternal Kingdom requires the participation of every citizen. Do not expect anyone to help you construct beautiful buildings. You are required to carry every brick and rock used for construction.
Mission Goal: Carry a hundred excavated Diamond Seam to Simba, who is located at the Blacksmith Shop.
Mission Reward: 100 Reputation Points, 50 bronze coins]
No map? No mission route indication? Where was the Blacksmith Shop?
Dragonborn was puzzled. He grabbed someone and asked, “Bro, where is the Blacksmith Shop?”
The Goblin with the name TakeASpearHit pointed at the bobbing heads in the distance and shouted, “Do you see that wall? Yes, that’s Sherlie. The wall that the Devil NPC is standing at has the Eternal Kingdom map drawn by the First Beta Gamers. The map is also on the discussion forum. Don’t go offline to look at the map. With so many gamers walking around, you might be stomped to death!”
“Stomped, stomped to death?” Dragonborn was shocked, and he quickly asked, “The character’s not protected after I go offline?”
“I am surprised, Bro. Didn’t you read the Strategy Guides on the forum before participating in the Second Beta Testing? The forum members who are yearning for Second Beta Gamer status will smear you to death if they learn about this!” TakeASpearHit looked sincere as he said, “I abstained from self-pleasure for three days. I entered the gaming capsule after taking a shower, wearing my neat western suit and leather shoes, and applying gel to my hair. You’re too insincere!”
“So there’s no protection of the character after I go offline?” Dragonborn asked again and ignored TakeASpearHit’s comments.
“Of course not! This is the world’s first Virtual Reality online game using the gaming capsule. Even the pain is 100% simulated! The game would be lousy if you were given protection while offline!”
TakeASpearHit was extremely excited, and he looked like a cult member as he continued to shout, “Bro, you’re in luck. You’ve gotten Second Beta Gamer status without knowing anything. I offered sacrifices to all my anime wives before obtaining Second Beta Gamer status!”
Then he muttered in a daze, “I didn’t expect to be selected out of the 2,000,000 gamers. Have I become someone that I hate?”
Dragonborn frowned and wanted to say something, but someone from behind knocked into him and injured his mouth. He could feel the pain?
A Goblin had knocked into him.
The Goblin had the words “SealHeadLingChong” above his head. He knocked into Dragonborn and immediately apologized, “Sorry, sorry, the gamers behind pushed me!”
TakeASpearHit, who was at the side, shouted at the top of his lungs, “Gosh! It’s the First Beta Heavenly Group!”
A Goblin, TarotTraitor, smiled and said, “What heavenly? They are the veteran gamers from the First Beta!”
Dragonborn tip-toed and looked above the sea of green Goblin heads. Not far from him, tens of brightly colored and armored Goblins wielded various weapons as they walked over. The new gamers cheered wildly.
