Chapter 177: A Meeting for Group Planning

In the morning within the green forest, a thin mist that looked like white transparent candy floss shrouded the trees.

Large trees stood under the azure magical sky. Clear transparent dew dripped down slowly to the tip of the green leaves before falling reluctantly to the ground.

Two Gnomes with Axes and a Houndhead Man with the names TakeASpearHit, Dragonborn, and SealHeadLingChong arrived in front of the tree.

“Look for another tree… the older the tree, the more difficult the question…” TakeASpearHit looked at the huge tree and said in a dilemma.

“Let’s go, let’s go. Only Veteran Hemp Rope Technology can cut such a tree,” SealHeadLingChong shook his head and said.

Dragonborn was reluctant, but he could only glance at the tree and leave helplessly.

At times, there were things that couldn’t be done with brute force!

The three of them arrived at a tree that was four to five meters tall. SealHeadLingChong was about to cut with his Axe, but TakeASpearHit extended his hand and said, “Give way. Let me cut the tree!”

“Wah, you’re bad. I chose this tree first…”

TakeASpearHit immediately said, “You stinky beluga, leave this tree to me. Go and find another one.”

TakeASpearHit raised his Axe, and a question popped into his mind:

“An undirected graph G has nine nodes. Every node has a joint degree of 5 or 6. Prove that G has at least 5 nodes with 6 joint degree or 6 nodes with 5 joint degrees.”

TakeASpearHit was taken aback for a few seconds. Then he lowered his Axe and said, “What the heck? What’s an undirected graph…”

This kind of scene was seen throughout the entire Underground Forest No. 3.

…

At the plaza of the Commerce Area in Eternal Kingdom.

Piles of wood were placed in the Commerce Area. They were the wooden logs after the gamers cut down the trees in the forest.

They were mainly used for transactions.

“Selling wood! Selling wood! Get your wood here!”

“I have both processed and unprocessed wood! Come quickly for the wood!”

“Looking for four team members to challenge Specter College! Equipment to be distributed by the ROLL method! Come quickly!”

“Large Lizards! Selling Large Lizards! Come and get them if you’re exchanging for Darting Birds!”

“Recruitment for Guild! Members get a free backpack!”

…

A group of gamers shouted and chatted in the Commerce Area. Even more gamers were cutting the trees in Underground Forest No. 3.

Making weapons, constructing houses, exchanging for Reputation Points, coins, weekly and daily missions, furniture and the floor, required the use of wood.

Wood was definitely a scarce resource in the Dungeon.

After a map with an underground forest was opened to the gamers, they logged the trees day and night.

Cutting trees was tough and required solving mathematics. To achieve the mission objectives, even if the gamer was rich, had the highest Reputation Level, had the best equipment, or had the ambition to build a beautiful home, whatever the objectives, they boosted the determination of the gamers to cut the trees.

It was a matter of solving mathematical questions. Learn it!

As such, the official discussion forum had become a place for learning. Nobody would believe that it was an online game forum.

There were many posts on solving difficult questions by helpful forum members. As there were only 2,100 gamers, the remaining tens of thousands of forum members posted daily in the forum with the hope of joining the game to build the beautiful Dungeon.

The efficiency of the gamers’ logging was low. Within a short period of time, it wasn’t expected to increase.

Only learning mathematics would improve productivity.

Of course, the development of the Dungeon didn’t slow down.

In the middle of the Commercial Area and Industrial Area, there was an open area.

Peasant carried his Pickaxe and excavated the veterans’ Guild land.

The veterans’ Guild had been approved. Peasant had the words “Pioneer Alliance” below his name.

Because of the Battle Campaign Scenario that lasted for the past few days, the excavation work had stopped. With the opening of Underground Forest No. 3, the gamers were busy logging.

The gamers had more free time compared to the period during the Battle Campaign Scenario. Every Guild listed their objectives to let their members excavate the Guild land during their free time.

Previously, the gameplay was limited. Now, nobody complained of limited gameplay. When the gamers went online, they worked very hard. The following was the detailed schedule:

1. Excavate for an hour to complete the system assigned Daily Mission.

2. Try to complete an item in the Weekly Mission.

3. Challenge the Instance Dungeon “Specter College: Training Grounds” once. If item two was completed, then it wasn’t necessary to challenge the Instance Dungeon.

4. Spend an hour on constructing their own house.

5. Complete a one-hour training session with Moroes.

After completing the four basic missions listed above, it was already noon. Beginners who were slow in challenging the Instance Dungeon would have taken half a day.

To improve himself, a gamer had to do the following missions:

6. Complete a Daily Mission for the Marsh Inkspewers like hunting the Large Lizards to earn the Reputation Points and exchange for the rewards.

7. Hunt the Underground Spiders to obtain raw materials.

8. If he is a Guild member, he has to participate in a Guild war.

9. Visit the Commercial Area to do business. The main point is to browse the auctions to see if there are any good bargains.

10. Cut trees at Underground Forest No. 3.

11. Attend the mathematics class organized by Hemp Rope Technology on the forum.

12. To build the Airship, Eternal Kingdom version. This step by step mission was added to the Daily Missions.

13. Learn life skills such as forging.

14. …

There were at least more than ten items. There were other gamers who discovered gameplay and new Plots like finding new NPCs and interacting with Evelynn or Yoda.

Then there was the interaction with Little Fairy to learn life skills. As it was quite improbable, most of the gamers learned plant cultivation from Raintea.

There were too many things to do online. Unless a gamer spent at least twelve hours, it was hard to complete all the missions.

While the gamers were working very hard, Sherlock was not idling.

Besides playing computer games, browsing the forum, and teaching Eggface how to be a qualified secretary, Sherlock had to decide on creating new areas, new warehouses, the location of the large furnace in the Industrial Area, and other facilities. He was also responsible for approving Guild applications, the purchasing of private land, Guild lands, and furniture.

With the logging of wood, Mufasa was no longer just a chef. The Carpenter Workshop was being used for making wood products.

Simba was also busy mentoring his apprentices and forging equipment.

Yoda had just arrived and wasn’t involved in any work. He didn’t know what he should be doing.

Brainiac was in charge of reviving the corpses.

Evelynn claimed she was a renter in the Dungeon but was actually a white elephant in Eternal Kingdom.

Moroes was teaching the gamers combat skills day and night.

Besides spitting saliva, Little Fairy was tutoring Raintea on how to be a qualified plant cultivator. As for making medicine, how could she make any without a medicine workshop?

Eggface was in charge of eating.

As for other areas such as enchantment, cloth weaving, jewelry making, Alchemy, medicine making, and creation of transportation tools, they were still lacking in the Dungeon.

The areas that needed improvement, such as the contract with the Northern Underground World Gladiator Arena, the construction of the stronghold in the Marsh Inkspewer Town, the construction of the Airship, the excavation of new areas, and the improvement of the living environment were not developing substantially.

After organizing his thoughts, Sherlock decided to arrange for an Eternal Kingdom meeting for all members of the Dungeon.

It was time to have a meeting with all of them to do systematic planning!

Sherlock also made a post to solicit views of the Dungeon’s development from forum members.

The post was created quickly, and it was titled:

[Your suggestions on the future development and planning for Eternal Kingdom (Group Planning Item)]
