Gamers of the Underworld (Web Novel)
chapter-393

Sherlock’s post garnered enthusiastic responses from the gamers.

[Maximilian Seed: It means we have to carry more bricks.]

[IhavedoubleID: Wah, there’s a kitten! Can we cuddle it?]

[TrailsOfColdRays: When is the official version 1.0?]

[EvilOfficialsAreSchemingAgainstTheEmperor: Be reasonable. The neutral city should be called Dalaran or Shattrath.]

…

“Has Lord Sherlock been doing this, meow? What has this got to do with dominating the world, meow?”

Polio sat gracefully on Sherlock’s computer table and licked his paw. He only discovered that something was wrong after a few licks. He wasn’t a kitten!

He dry coughed two times to hide his embarrassment.

“Dominate the world?”

Sherlock frowned. He didn’t understand Polio’s meaning of dominating the world. Did he ever mention that? His dream was to become the greatest Dungeon Lord.

“Having such power, as well as undead servants, a promising young Black Dragon, and most importantly, Lord Sherlock’s power of Michelangelo, meow! And meow…”

Polio turned to look at Eggface behind him and said, “That small Black Dragon has been saying that he is the World Dominating Dragon and Master of Darkness. I thought you must be planning to dominate the world.”

“No, those are purely his wild imaginations,” Sherlock said.

Polio stood up and turned around gracefully on the table, then faced Sherlock and sat down. He licked his black paws and said, “Though they’re his wild imaginations, if you don’t dominate the world with your power, it’ll be a great pity. Though I was in prison for thousands of years, I’m still knowledgeable about the outside world. We can start with Winterfell. It’s that simple… meow!”

Polio squinted his yellow pupils and extended one of his paws while showing his fierce face. But Sherlock grabbed his neck, walked to the door, and threw him outside.

A gamer dashed over and shouted, “Gosh! How can I cuddle the cat in this mission? I only keep dogs!”

Polio’s hair stood on end, and he growled, “Grrr—!”

…

The Ogre Fortress Instance Dungeon had taken a back seat to the Dungeon War, only being reopened after Morgan and his Ogre army were defeated.

There was no change in the Instance Dungeon. Five gamers would enter the Ogre Fortress and fight against a lone Ogre.

Though it was difficult, the elite team of the Pioneer Alliance achieved victory within ten days.

After Arthur and his comrades defeated the Ogre, they opened the treasure chest behind it.

“A Green Excellent Axe called the Ogre’s Great Ax, 10 silver coins, a Superior Shield called the Sighing Shield… Gosh! A Mana Skills Book!” NotWearingPants took out all of the loot from the treasure chest, exclaiming in astonishment at the Mana Skills Book. “Gosh, it’s a real Mana Skills Book. Aren’t we lucky today?”

Peasant ran over and looked pitifully at his friends. “Please give me the book! I’m a Magician!”

“No, I also want to have Mana Skills as an Archer. Let’s ROLL for it.” Sylvanas took out 10 dice and tossed them, obtaining a sum of 22.

“Wah, Sister Vanas, your luck’s bad.” Peasant smiled and took the dice, then tossed them out and obtained a sum of 10.

“You’re no better.” NotWearingPants laughed and tossed the dice, which soon indicated 11.

“That’s hilarious. I think it’s mine.” BurningChestHair’s dice showed 12.

“What the heck…”

Arthur took the dice and tossed them. He obtained 56.

“Wah! Arthur’s luck is very good!”

“Is all of your luck used up?”

“Arthur Bro! Give it to me! Please! Give it to me!”

“Arthur Bro’s awesome!”

Arthur took the Mana Skills Book and said, “I’m selling it for Magic Stones. Sorry, Peasant.”

All of them were dumbstruck. Peasant managed to reply after some time, saying, “Ah… it’s alright…”

“I’ll go back first. We’ll gather at Specter College tonight. I’m leaving.”

Arthur put away the Mana Skills Book. After, he didn’t participate in the allocation of the rest of the loot and left the Instance Dungeon.

The four of them looked at each other, and Sylvanas shouted, “It’s not normal!”

…

Arthur left the Ogre Fortress and ran back to Eternal Kingdom’s outpost, then returned to Eternal Kingdom via the Teleport Portal.

Along the way, he only greeted familiar faces.

Outside the Teleport Portal Main Hall, along the road, some gamers were trying to erect lampposts. That was the new infrastructure in the Dungeon. One gamer pushed a cart filled with soil and rocks, another gamer carried a pile of cloth and ran over, and yet another gamer sat on the ground and put a bowl in front.

“Please pity me. I played for two months and became bankrupt. Please spare some change. I’m dying of hunger…”

Eternal Kingdom was looking prosperous, and all passersby had green symbols above their heads. After all, the few NPCs stayed at specific locations while working and normally wouldn’t wander around.

Arthur didn’t stop, walking towards the flowerbed.

Arthur wasn’t aware that two Orcs followed him stealthily. They were wearing normal equipment.

They were Sylvanas and NotWearingPants.

“Indeed… Arthur Bro isn’t normal!” Sylvanas squinted her eyes.

“I killed myself to return back and lay an ambush. That was the correct decision!”

“Wah, I didn’t expect you to be so awesome. You can tell with your intuition?” NotWearingPants’ expression was like 6666.

“Why did you follow me back to Eternal Kingdom? You’re hindering me!” Sylvanas looked in disdain at NotWearingPants and said, “Don’t tell Arthur. I know you’re good with him, but don’t hinder me!”

“Wah, how can you say that? Is there a private chat in the game?” NotWearingPants replied immediately, “I’m curious why Arthur wanted that Mana Skills Book. I don’t think he uses Mana Skills. That is his belief! And he wanted to sell it for Magic Stone? My god, can’t he tell a proper lie?”

Arthur walked into the seedbed that was filled with gamers.

“Quick, follow him!” NotWearingPants quickly followed Arthur. Sylvanas felt angry as she followed behind NotWearingPants.
