Gamers of the Underworld

Chapter 545 Meeting the Princess

[Lightning King Tesla: Lol server déjà vu.]

[Othinus: Baboon 14 is queuing [fn=49]]

[Fue: Female soldier is queuing?]

[Mystical Fire of the Moon: Let me enter the game! D*mn!]

[Immortal Low Light: Bad ratings. Gosh, tens of thousands of gamers placed in a queue!]

...

The gamers were unhappy with the rule of queuing up after 10 deaths, especially Peasant, as he would die frequently.

Sherlock had no other alternatives. Though the Mana pool of Yggdrasill was huge, it might not be able to support more than 50 million gamers. All the gamers in China wanted to participate in the Public Beta.

The gaming capsules were free. After registration, a gaming capsule would be delivered to the registered address. It was much better than other online games, which required the purchasing of tens of dollars of cards or a few hundred dollars of props. Everyone was curious about how the manufacturer of “Dungeon” made their profit.

Sherlock didn’t want the Mana of Yggdrasill to be depleted. He also wanted the gamers to cherish their lives, so he made the queuing rule.

This rule was insignificant when there was no queue. It was just to frighten off the gamers who didn’t want to queue.

To the gamers, when the grim reaper arrived, they would have to die no matter what.

Peasant created a post.

[Lousy producer! Even the Revival Armor won’t save you! I’ll follow you everywhere until I beat you to death!]

Though it didn’t have any physical effect, Peasant felt much better after posting.

Peasant finished browsing the discussion forum and returned to the game interface. Though there were 500,000 gamers in the queue, Peasant entered the game after some time. It was hilarious that the gamers died so rapidly, as it was rather difficult to die ten times within an hour. Though, to a beginner, dying ten times within an hour wasn’t so difficult.

Peasant entered the game enthusiastically, ready to experience the new Public Beta.

When he opened his eyes in the Guild territory, he saw an unpleasant scene. Through the window, he saw a very crowded path that wasn’t moving.

There were simply too many gamers!

...

“All Goblins of Hangzhou, gather over here! We’re setting up the Hangzhou Gang!”

“Anyone from Hefei? Anyone from Anhui Hefei? Let’s play together!”

“I’m looking for a teacher who can act cute and guide me along. I guarantee that I’ll be online every day!”

“I’m looking for a male student to develop a long-distance relationship!”

“I’m looking for a teacher who isn’t married!”

“Why are there so many gamers from Sword Net 3?”

...

It was normal for the game to be noisy. However, it was far too loud. Many gamers couldn’t endure the noisiness. The veteran gamers had gone out to hunt for monsters or challenge the Instance Dungeon. Some gamers were even willing to fight with the gamers of Victoria City.

The NPCs of Eternal Kingdom were unable to stand the noise. Simba had broken countless weapons, so the queue of gamers who wanted to improve their weapons had vanished.

It was understandable for Simba, as it was too noisy to work properly.

To another NPC, it wasn’t just about a good mood.

“Princess, are you inside?”

“Princess, come out and meet us. We can help you with any Strange Encounter Missions!”

“Princess, I love you. I want to be your Raintea!”

There were countless gamers standing underneath the treehouse at the seedbed. Most of them were shirtless Goblins who were shouting wildly.

In Eternal Kingdom, the Little Fairy was the most popular NPC. Even the attractive Succubus couldn’t be compared to the Little Fairy Princess.

The reason was that the Princess was heavily involved in the Plot, and she was the only NPC to develop a friendship with a gamer. The Princess had already returned to her home, but because of Raintea, she used the Teleport Scroll to return to Eternal Kingdom. Nobody knew how the Princess obtained the Teleport Scroll. The gamers attributed it to the requirement of the Plot.

Since the Princess was popular and had many interactions and the most intimate relationship with the gamers, the gamers believed that she had a lot of Hidden Plots. The new gamers wanted Strange Encounter Missions, as that would help them improve very fast. They could become just like Hoodlum of Victoria City, who encountered the slave warrior Strange Encounter Mission just after he became a gamer.

The Princess was unable to provide a similar slave warrior Strange Encounter Mission, but she might have other Strange Encounter Missions. The gamers wanted to try their luck. Did Arthur not receive the Strange Encounter Mission to rescue her? Perhaps, the Princess might want to escape again after staying in Eternal Kingdom for a few days.

That was what the gamers thought.

“Humph! What are those Goblins doing? Are they so free?”

The Little Fairy scoffed as she sat and hugged her arms up in the treehouse.

She struggled for half a day before deciding to return to Eternal Kingdom because of her good friend Raintea. She didn’t want to be harassed by these ruffian Goblins. If the Goblins hadn’t surrounded her treehouse, she would have looked for Sherlock to protest against the Goblins.

When she returned to Eternal Kingdom, she had made an agreement with Sherlock.

She was no longer a prisoner of Eternal Kingdom but an official employee.

While she was in anguish, she heard shouting from outside.

“Wah, is that Arthur? I saw Sister Vanas!”

“Arthur Bro, I’m your fan. Can you sign an autograph for me?”

“Isn’t Arthur third in the most powerful warriors rankings?”

“Are you sure? Is Arthur third in the rankings? Isn’t he the richest gamer in Eternal Kingdom?”

“He’s the top warrior in Eternal Kingdom, but compared to Victoria City, Arthur is only ranked number three. The first in the rankings is Dragonborn, with Weapon Level 20. The second in the rankings is Hoodlum, who has Weapon Level 15. Arthur is one level lower at Level 14,” a gamer said to another gamer after checking the rankings board.

“That’s Raintea. I saw Veteran Raintea. Is that the main force of the Pioneer Alliance? Oh my god, are they the legendary First Beta Gamers? Their equipment looks awesome. They’re all Orcs. When can we become Orcs?”

“Stop thinking about this. You have to work day and night for two months before becoming an Orc. The Orc mission is sick. You have to complete the Daily Missions for two months. It’s easier to become a Houndhead Man, as you only need to work for a month and fawn over Eggface, then you’ll become a Houndhead Man immediately.”

“It’s not fun being a Houndhead Man, as they are short. Orcs are better and stronger. They are able to tear Spiders apart using their bare hands.”

“Bro, have you ever seen anyone kill a Spider using their bare hands? The Houndhead Man isn’t weak either. Also, the Houndhead Man has better Mana Affinity and more powerful Mana Skills compared to an Orc. An Orc can only release a single Mana attack, while a Houndhead Man can release three Mana attacks. A Magician profession is much stronger than a warrior. Do you understand?”

“An Orc warrior is stronger. I saw BurningChestHair fighting tens of Spiders. He’s a very powerful Orc.”

“ChestHair is one of the top ten powerful gamers on the rankings board. What about Hemp Rope Technology, who is a Goblin endowed with the Power of Sacred Light? He could fight hundreds of Spiders without any problem.”

“Hundreds of Spiders are insignificant to Hemp Rope Technology. With the Power of Sacred Light, he could even kill Arthur.”

The gamers chatted as they left the treehouse. They had stayed underneath the treehouse for a long time without meeting the Little Fairy, so they figured that the Little Fairy didn’t have any Strange Encounter Missions for them.

The Little Fairy heaved a sigh of relief when the gamers left. She popped her head out to look in the direction that the gamers were heading.

She heard them mention Raintea, so she was worried. She saw the gamers heading towards Raintea and hesitated about whether to follow them. Then she saw another group of gamers rushing towards the treehouse.

“It’s the Little Fairy! Princess!”

“Princess! Come and take a look! I want to complete your Strange Encounter Mission!”

“I’m looking for a teacher! I’m looking for a teacher! I’m a new gamer!”

The group of gamers surrounded the treehouse and made a ruckus. The Little Fairy was exasperated.

“Another group of irritating gamers!”

...

In the desert of the Underworld, a sand storm was brewing, and there were many strange Lizards abound.

The Lizards seemed to merge with the sand.

A Lizard lifted its head and gazed at a blurred figure in front. A dried hand extended and grabbed its body. Then, the Lizard was pulled up and shoved into a mouth. There were sounds of “Ka cha, ka cha” as the Lizard was chewed.

The figure was hidden in a gray cloak, and his eyes emitted yellow rays as he gazed forward.

“Sherlock...”

His voice sounded like it came from Hades.
