Gamers of the Underworld

Chapter 409: Hoodlum Is Over There!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Online relationships were a common occurrence in online games. In Victoria City, there were many online couples.

To the three Hamsters, they were strange couples.

Since Lilo created a huge Castle using her Mana, the three Hamsters had been living in the Castle.

They were Lilo’s servants and bodyguards. At the same time, they played various roles in Victoria City.

Big Boss was the Logistics Officer, who was in charge of the exchange of items. He didn’t understand why he had to explain the exchange rate of equipment to the gamers.

But he would carry out Lilo’s mission faithfully.

Second Boss was in charge of the gamers’ Living Quarters and City Planning. He took care of the food and water in the city and decided whether to excavate for the new Living Quarters. He also ensured that gamers adhered to strict construction regulations.

The youngest, Fat Otaku, was responsible for eating.

Due to the different nature of their jobs, the gamers had various degrees of contact with them.

Big Boss interacted with the gamers the most, so he witnessed various strange behaviors.

Big Boss was unable to understand the affairs of the heart of the gamers.

He witnessed a couple’s conversation.

“Aiya, can you see me tomorrow? I’m resting tomorrow.”

“No, my family members don’t allow me to travel far.”

“Ah, it’s hard to bear. I really want to see you.”

“I’d like to see you too, baby.”

...

Strange, were the gamers not seeing each other already?

That was only the tip of the iceberg for their strange behaviors.

They had good points too, like diligence and work efficiency.

Big Boss learned of some of the complaints of the gamers.

“Why does Eternal Kingdom have such exciting Plots?”

“Yes, why don’t we have any of those Plots? We’re gamers too.”

“I’m requesting more interesting Plots. Otherwise, I’m changing factions!”

“I want to change factions too!”

Big Boss didn’t understand the gamers’ concerns. He would report them to Miss Lilo since she would definitely understand.

“I don’t understand,” Lilo frowned and replied to Big Boss.

Big Boss was taken aback. How could it be...

“Let me ask Sherlock, he’ll know why such things happened.”

“My lady has her ways!” Big Boss shouted excitedly in his helium-filled voice.

Lilo ended her conversation with Sherlock via the crystal ball after a short time. Lilo summarized Sherlock’s theory of gameplay, which consisted of playability, satisfaction, challenge, lucky draw, and gambling mentality. She said, “We have to find other things for them to do besides working, don’t we?”

“Shall we let them hop like a frog for an hour daily?” Second Boss pondered for a second and suggested.

“Oh? Second Boss, your idea sounds interesting!”

Big Boss was surprised by Second Boss’s suggestion.

“No.” Lilo rejected the idea.

“Let them hop for two hours then,” Second Boss thought for two seconds and said.

“It’s not a problem of time.” Lilo shook her head and said, “It’s not interesting to hop like a frog. How about swimming like a frog?”

“Swimming like a frog? It’s not fun to swim, my Lord. It’s not!”

Big Boss and Second Boss rejected her idea.

While they were brainstorming for ideas, a commotion was heard coming from outside.

Fat Otaku ran over and grabbed Big Boss’s shoulders. He panted heavily because he ran too fast.

“Outside... outside...”

Fat Otaku panted and couldn’t speak properly. Big Boss shouted, “Calm down! Our lady is here!”

“Outside... it’s mealtime outside! Go for your meal!”

Fat Otaku finished his sentence, but Lilo had lifted her skirt while she walked outside.

Big Boss and Second Boss threw Fat Otaku aside and followed Lilo.

Many gamers were watching the tens of fully armored Knights in front of the Living Quarters. The Knights were carrying a flag bearing a lion’s image, which belonged to a nobles’ flag.

The Knights didn’t expect these citizens to be so insolent when they saw the flag of the Duke of York. Normally, commoners and merchants would kneel down and tremble as a show of respect for the flag.

The gamers didn’t recognize the flag, but Lancelot did. The gamers didn’t attack these Knights with shiny armor and weapons because they looked like NPCs who gave out missions. Moreover, Victoria City was a safety zone. If the Knights didn’t attack voluntarily, there wouldn’t be any health bars. Lastly, the gamers were stopped by Lancelot.

The main reason was the lack of health bars.

Lilo, Big Boss, and Second Boss stood outside the crowd and observed the Knights, while the gamers chatted nonstop.

One of the Knights shouted, “We’re the Knights of the Duke of York! Where is your Mayor? Let him come out! The Duke of York has an important matter to tell him!”

“She’s our Mayor!”

“That’s not our Mayor, you trash. She’s Duchess Lilo!”

“She’s our Great Duchess! Dun dun dun dun!”

The gamers replied to the Knight warmly, but the Knight didn’t feel any respect. Instead, he felt the gamers were condescending.

Are these fellows messing with us?

The Knight was furious. He lifted the horsewhip, but another Knight caught hold of his hand and shook his head.

The wise Knight didn’t wish to antagonize so many citizens, as they numbered in the thousands. The citizens were streaming out endlessly from buildings and the forest. How did they know of their arrival?

As the Knights were moving towards Lilo, they saw a person with a badly deformed spine in the crowd.

They couldn’t forget his face and figure because they were too ugly and grotesque.

That was the Slumbering Hoodlum!

“Hoodlum is over there! He dared to come back!” one of the Knights shouted!

He was too excited because the reward from the Grand Duke was so generous that he could buy a piece of land and become a noble.

The Knights were equally excited. They whipped their horses in a bid to capture Hoodlum, who had no intention to escape. In fact, Hoodlum wanted to go through the crowd towards the Knights. He was feeling emotional, and tears welled up in his eyes. He shouted to the Knights, but the surrounding chatter was too loud, so the Knights were unable to hear Hoodlum.

The Knights were guessing that the tortured Hoodlum was asking his comrades for protection. Hoodlum was looking agitated because he wanted revenge.

The Knights decided to strike first to scare the beggar-like crowd off!

One of the Knights unsheathed his Sword and whipped his horse as he galloped towards a citizen that blocked him. He slashed with his Sword, not to harm him but to intimidate him.

The slashing wasn’t rapid, and only the back of the sword was used.

That citizen didn’t dodge. He stared at the back of the sword that hit on his head and was stunned. Everyone looked up and stared at the Knights. The gamers had the same gaze as Hoodlum...
