[MeetingYouAtTheDeepEndOfMyLife: This world is almost destroyed numerous times.]

[SmilingNangong: Equipment is fleeting! We want the Faction Rides! There is a huge handsome black horse in Victoria City!]

[ThisIsInteresting: Playing with a BUG, you are more powerful than Ubisoft.]

[Yams_sky: My equipment was damaged yesterday, and you’re telling me that it’s a BUG?]

…

Sherlock felt that the gamers were very happy with the new updates.

What could the Honor Points be exchanged for? Sherlock was creating the list.

[1 unit of Spider Leg: 100 Honor Points]

[1 unit of Spider Meat: 100 Honor Points]

[Eternal Kingdom Standard Equipment (Ordinary White Equipment): 1000 Honor Points]

…

“Er, Lord Sherlock?”

While Sherlock was carefully creating the exchange list, Bru spoke beside Sherlock’s ear.

“Are the points not too high?”

“Too high? I think it’s reasonable. They are items to be exchanged for. If I lower the points, I fear I may go bankrupt,” Sherlock said solemnly.

“With Lord Sherlock’s wealth, it’s not easy for you to go bankrupt. If you set the level too high, your body may not be able to take it,” Bru said with concern.

“If you put Spider Meat and Spider Legs onto the list, it won’t be good for Lilo and your health.”

“Hmm… I’m starting to understand.” Sherlock nodded.

“As for equipment, it can be purchased with coins and Honor Points. Like the Eternal Kingdom Standard Equipment, it can be purchased for 100 Honor Points and 3 silver coins. I’m suggesting creating classy equipment as a reward. The name can sound very cool, for example…” Bru pondered for a while and said, “Great Marshal Equipment Set! The name itself sounds cool.”

“I understand, your suggestion is good.” Sherlock nodded and started making amendments.

In the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, besides Sherlock, Eggface was also working diligently.

Many gamers were queuing up to harass him, so Eggface was feeling indignant and typing furiously on his keyboard.

In order to play computer games, no matter how harassed Eggface felt, he wouldn’t say or do anything that was out of line. Eggface replied to those gamers patiently.

[“Dungeon” Customer Service Eggface: Dearest, we told you that there are no Hidden Missions. The one who knocked you out is nonexistent.]

[CoolBreezeButtocks: But I was really knocked unconscious by an NPC. Take a look. I even took a screenshot. That is the creature that knocked me out and searched my body. All of my food was stolen! Are NPCs allowed to rob gamers? Is that a BUG?]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service Eggface: Dearest, are you sure that you were robbed after you were knocked out and that you didn’t just eat the food yourself?]

[CoolBreezeButtocks: Of course I didn’t! Did I not send you the screenshots? Take a look! I was robbed by an NPC!]

As Eggface was about to reply to CoolBreezeButtocks, Sherlock moved behind him and examined the screenshot. There was a strong Orc wearing a black costume.

At this time, CoolBreezeButtocks sent another message.

[CoolBreezeButtocks: I asked around on the discussion forum. That is Winterfell Garrison Guard Captain Cherry! He was the one who rewarded us with money!]

Eggface gave a standard formal reply, and Sherlock stopped looking. He was pondering when Bru said, “Lord Sherlock, Dungeon Lord Nicholas is still distrustful of you.”

“No, I don’t think he’s working for Nicholas. Though I reported 10,000 casualties, 2,000,000 Magic Stones is a small sum to help Nicholas with the Ogre crisis. I didn’t receive any intelligence on Nicholas checking up on me either,” said Sherlock as he shook his head.

“Wait, Lord Sherlock, do you have Baron Nicholas under surveillance?” Bru asked in surprise.

“Why did you call it surveillance? It’s 24-hour protection for him. After all, he’s an important collaborative partner. As for the intelligence, it’s a byproduct of the protection.”

Sherlock casually said, “This isn’t Nicholas’ arrangement. Most likely, it’s something arranged by the Merchant Alliance to find out information about Eternal Kingdom. I have to ask Captain Cherry.”

Sherlock walked towards the door, and he said to Eggface, “Take care of things here at home, Eggface.”

Eggface was no longer sitting in his chair. At this time, he had charged outside the Dungeon Lord Main Hall and was lifting up a Gnome called CoolBreezeButtocks. He strangled the gamer with his claws and pinned him to the wall while he shouted with agitation at the spectating gamers, “Ha? Haven’t you seen an NPC beating up a gamer before? Do you see what I’m doing? Ah?”

Sherlock put on his hat and left by the side. It was normal for some friendly brawls to occur to improve employee relationships.

…

In the spacious wilderness, Cherry wore his long cloak and gazed down at the moving creatures on the distant plain. He also noticed the Fortress that was occupied by the Ogres.

He was there under the orders of the Merchant Alliance to conduct a secret mission. He had to investigate the details of the battle between Eternal Kingdom and the Ogres. It was mainly to investigate Eternal Kingdom, as the Merchant Alliance seemed very interested in Eternal Kingdom’s affairs.

The Merchant Alliance also suspected that Eternal Kingdom and Dungeon Lord Nicholas had an insidious agreement.

Cherry was also interested to know.

He applied for a month’s worth of vacation so that he could come here to investigate. It was the second day since he arrived in the wilderness.

Patrols were conducted 24 hours per day in the wilderness, and he couldn’t detect any patterns. Occasionally, the patrols would conduct suicidal attacks on the large wild creatures.

Were there too many wild creatures roaming the wilderness?

On his first day, Cherry discovered an astonishing fact—there were Humans!
