Dragonborn and the novice gamers followed Arthur and traveled through Eternal Kingdom’s trash-filled plaza.

In a small house with the sign “Carpenter Workshop (Struck off) Kitchen,” a Blackiron Dwarf was sweating profusely as he stirred a large cauldron that was boiling with underground water. There were no other materials in the cauldron.

At the sides were piles of clay.

After Mufasa stirred for a while, he used a ladle to scoop clay and placed it in the boiling water to kill the germs.

Then, he placed the clay in an empty space on another side of the cauldron.

He scooped a ladle of clay on the right, dipped it into the water, and placed the clay on the left. It was efficient, clean, hygienic, and tasty.

There was a small sign on the ground on the left side. It had the words “Today’s special: Fat Otaku’s Happy Clay. Sale price: 1 gold coin (Struck off) Shock price: 50 bronze coin per set” written on it.

Dragonborn looked dazed with the other novices. He didn’t speak a word for a long time.

TakeASpearHit asked the emotionless Arthur, “Great veteran, I used to see the gamers discussing the eating of clay on the forum. Is that true?”

“How do you eat it?” SealHeadLingChong asked awkwardly as he looked at the clay placed at the side.

Arthur walked up to Mufasa and took out a card from his pocket. He said to the novice gamers, “This is a bank card. Yes, it’s what we normally use. It’s made of Adamantine Ore. Don’t ask me about Adamantine Ore, I’ll let you know in the future.”

Arthur said, “Once you’ve completed the first mission and obtained the game currency, you can obtain a card from Bru. Bru’s the crimson Dungeon Core at the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. The bank card is rented, and there is a 5% tax on deposits. You can purchase a card using 1,000 Reputation Points and a silver coin, which is equivalent to 20 Daily Missions of carrying bricks.”

Arthur passed the bank card to Mufasa and said, “Give me a set of Fat Otaku’s Happy Clay.”

Mufasa took Arthur’s bank card. Then, he placed his card upon Arthur’s card before he returned the bank card to Arthur and gave him a set of clay.

Mufasa looked at the two to three hundred surrounding Goblins who were listening to Arthur and the groups of wandering Goblins led by a few veterans. He became pale.

Lord Sherlock only said a few Goblins, so why were there that many Goblins?

It was terrifying. Like what his cousin had said, Lord Sherlock looked poor, but his background had more to it than it seemed. There were about two thousand Goblins. For the past two days, Sherlock only went out during the day and spent his nights in the Dungeon Core Main Hall. Lord Sherlock didn’t do anything special, but he recruited two thousand Goblins.

His capability had gone beyond terrifying!

Mufasa’s adoration of Sherlock had grown by leaps and bounds.

Mufasa didn’t understand why the new Goblins wouldn’t eat such tasty clay. He didn’t dare to ask either. Socializing had never been his strong point.

Arthur took the clay from Mufasa and ate it. After his demonstration, he said, “Eat it while it’s hot. It tastes better.”

The new gamers clapped their hands.

…

Using the Dungeon Core, Sherlock switched through the various surveillance images of the gamers to observe them.

Most of the new gamers were maintaining order, but some bloodshed was unavoidable.

Even if the Goblins weren’t gamers but native Goblins, with 2,000 of them gathered together, conflicts were unavoidable.

Sherlock had no intention to stop such conflicts. After accepting the allegiance of the new gamers, he returned to the Dungeon Lord Main Hall to observe them.

The new gamers who arrived late were in a panic and started running around when they couldn’t find Lord Sherlock. They were later given directions by the veteran gamers.

“Next to the spawning point is the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. If Lord Sherlock is not outside, then he’ll be inside the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. If he’s not in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, he has left the Dungeon via the Teleport Portal.”

The veteran gamers kindly said to the new gamers, “Actually, swearing allegiance is optional. It’s just a formality.”

But some new gamers were adamant and wanted to kowtow to the Devil.

Sherlock was asked to come out by these obstinate gamers a few times. Soon, nobody called for him.

Not all of the new gamers were that orderly and followed the veterans through the tour around Eternal Kingdom.

Without restraints, the otherworld’s gamers would do terrible things.

In the surveillance images, a novice gamer went to the Living Quarters of the veteran gamers to steal, but he was caught red-handed.

The thief was bound, gagged, and displayed in the plaza as a warning.

Sherlock witnessed the event but remained emotionless.

A few novice gamers were embroiled in a conflict for an unknown reason. In the bloody fighting, two gamers were beaten to death.

The veteran gamers arrived just in time to stop the conflict from spreading.

Sherlock witnessed the event but remained emotionless.

A hundred gamers under the lead of a gamer called btkangren, occupied an empty space at the Living Quarters.

There were even a few veteran gamers with them.

They said, “We’re occupying the space. This will be our Guild’s base. Buy your land at other spots.”

Sherlock witnessed the event but remained emotionless.

A novice stole a handful of clay while Mufasa was busy preparing meals. The other gamers even helped him distract Mufasa by asking lots of questions.

The novice Second Beta Gamer quickly stole a few sets of clay and left without being caught.

The thief and other novice gamers enjoyed their loot merrily. From the surveillance images, one could feel a sense of camaraderie, friendship, cordiality, cooperation, and positivity.

Sherlock slammed the table angrily when he saw the crime.

“Is there any quality in the otherworld’s gamers? How dare they steal from Eternal Kingdom? With such poor quality and conduct, I’ll not let them off!”

“Lord Sherlock, the crime is unpardonable. I’m already prepared and downloaded the relevant law articles onto your computer. I’ve also completed a comprehensive Punishment System. Lord Sherlock, I feel that it’s time to update the contents of the Second Beta Test!” Bru said.
