Chapter 108: The Start of the Second Beta Testing

NotWearingPants’ post attracted replies from many gamers.

[Stir-fried Vegetable Rice: Pants, are you interested in joining my Guild? I have contacted over a hundred Second Beta Gamers who are familiar with Strategy Guides and are my forum friends. If you are willing, I will give you a leadership position and give you a monthly salary of 5,000 Renminbi. How is that? Are you interested?]

[Pure Boy: The writer of the previous comment is very rich, 666]

[Leather Bear: Rice Bro, help me. Pants Bro, help me. I am a weak girl with handicapped hands ~(>_

[Blizzard Moon: The writer of the previous comment, let’s play together. We have a small group with over ten members.]

[Fishless Water2333: My God, a hundred gamers with monthly salaries. A rich gamer.]

[Dirty==Lich King: I can’t afford to antagonize them.]

[Future Recalling Past Events: I’m giving the First Beta Gamers 100 marks]

“Seems like I’m not the only one who’s worried about the resource strain on the game, Lord Sherlock,” Bru said as Sherlock finished reading the replies on the forum.

“Isn’t that good? It’s like having a hundred free foreman,” Sherlock said.

“I saw that they mentioned a Guild. Will they organize a Labor Guild and make requests and give feedback? For example, better work conditions?”

“No, though they’ll organize Guilds, they won’t make requests and give feedback. The Guilds will be more like the existence of a forum within the game. The gamers can freely exchange information, form teams, exchange items, or buy things at a discount,” Bru said.

“Anyway, the Guilds will be like hobby clubs. Most of the Guilds will have their own rules and a sense of honor and belonging. The Guilds are gaming concepts that add to the gamers’ fun.

“There might be conflicts among the Guilds. Lord Sherlock will have to mediate the conflicts.”

After Sherlock considered Bru’s words, he asked, “Bru, can we earn Reputation Points from them when they create Guilds? That will make them work harder.”

“It’s not hard to do that. The Guild System has always been a source of game contention. Lord Sherlock, we have to discuss this in greater details,” Bru said.

While waiting for “Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom” in the dark, the gamers could access the official website or the discussion forum in the gaming capsule.

On the discussion forum, many gamers replied to the post [Second Beta Gamer waiting to chat]. The content was simple.

“It’s the Second Beta Testing. Everyone will definitely lie down in the gaming capsule to browse the discussion forum. To relieve boredom, come in and chat.”

The gamers chatted enthusiastically.

[There is still a minute before the start of service!]

[Wah, we haven’t been online for two days. Will our characters have died of hunger?]

[It would be very realistic if they died of hunger.]

[It’s highly possible. In the previous one-day maintenance, when all the First Beta Gamers went online, the first thing we did was mass eating.]

[Interesting!]

[Is everyone here a Second Beta Gamer?]

[I am a First Beta Gamer!]

[Once you’re in the game, do not run around. Wait for the First Beta Gamers to lead us!]

…

[The service is up! We are entering the game!]

[Make haste, make haste!]

In the darkness, a hand wearing a CK watch raised and pressed on the game activation button in the gaming capsule.

Soon, the pages of the discussion forum and the official website were closed as the gamer’s awareness slipped into the Gaming World.

A white magical Teleport Portal appeared in front of a crimson Dungeon Core.

A green-skinned Goblin walked out from the portal.

At his side were rows of countless Teleport Portals from which Goblins walked out.

They had the same pants, and the female gender had an old tattered shirt.

The Goblin who had just walked out from the portal gaped at the 100% realistic world. The sounds of the excited chatting of other Goblins filled his ear.

“This game is so realistic…”

“So many of us? Are we touring a scenic area on Labor Day?”

“It’s so crowded! Can’t we pass through each other?”

“There’s no chatting system? What about an automatic pathfinder? Mission guide? World map? D*mn, there’s nothing!”

“Who’s that silly dude? Didn’t he hear about the hardcore online game ‘Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom?’ How did he obtain his Second Beta Gamer status?”

“I’m so happy. That’s the veteran gamer, Raintea! I’m helping you with plant cultivation. Bring me with you!”

“The Skeleton standing at a distance, is he the NPC, Brainiac?”

“Can I tap on his bones? Gosh, I’ve been thinking of doing that!”

The Goblin stood at his location as he examined his fingers and surveyed the surrounding rowdy Goblins.

Though the Goblin had seen pictures on the discussion forum, he was still astonished by the ultra-realistic environment.

A notice appeared in front of this Goblin:

[Welcome to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon. Underworld warrior, please confirm your name.]

The Goblin was taken aback by the notice.

A green word appeared above his head, “Dragonborn.”

“Who took Dragonborn?” a nearby Goblin shouted just as he confirmed his name.

Another Goblin shouted, “Gosh! Sherlie!”

“Yes, he’s handsome! He has half of my real looks!”

“This modeling of the NPC is superb. Though I’ve seen the pictures, I’m still astonished looking at the real character.”

“Ah—! Lord Sherlock! My husband!”

Dragonborn turned his head to look at the sudden booming screams of a group of gamers.

A tall Devil stood in front of the new gamers as his black eyes gazed down at them.

That pair of eyes was devoid of emotion.

“My lowly servants, why aren’t you pledging your loyalty to the great Devil Lord Sherlock? You will obtain my mercy and bountiful rewards!” Lord Sherlock said.
