nThe beds had to be placed in the Rest Chambers. Sherlock intended to follow the common Dungeon arrangements and have rows and rows of beds for the gamers to rest.

nAccording to Bru, this was a good chance to earn large amounts of coins. How could he miss it?

nAfter Sherlock talked with Bru about the arrangements of the beds in the Rest Chambers, BOSS rewards, and the equipment binding issues, he edited his latest updates.

n“Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom” Version 0.02 Update Log

n“‘Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom’ Version 0.02 is officially updated. The new contents are online:

After a month of hard work by the game producer, a new function, Equipment Insurance, is being introduced.

If the gamer perishes, the insured equipment will return to the designated location.

nSherlock checked the contents before publishing the updates.

nOnce the “Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom” Version 0.02 Update Log was published, the effect on the discussion forum was like a nuclear detonation. Within a minute, the clicks breached 10,000 times. Sherlock was shocked. Could there be more than 10,000 users on the forum?

nEven the replies were increasing exponentially.

nSky Pimp: Dragon Throne (◓Д◒)✄╰⋃╯

nI’m A Fence-sitter: Updates again. The producers are efficient.

nEquipment Metal: Front row, squeeze a bit. This is the first time that I’m close. I’m excited.

nDurex Dreamscape: I knew Mufasa and Simba were cousins the first time I saw them…Σ(°△°)

nSellingDriedTofuInDestitution: Wait for a scar-faced Dwarf with a barbaric Hammer.

nSixth Dawn: Blacksmith Simba, Carpenter Mufasa, complete with Timon, Pumbaa, and Sarabi.

nBald Monster: Wait, does everyone feel that all the updates require fees?

nQuanshan Priest: Am I the only one to think the bed effects puzzling? The damage rating is improved after sleeping? The design is too sloppy!

nKiller 33: Am I the only one to mind the full-service auction function? What about the poor gamers?

nPonyNa: Think about it, will you become stronger without paying?

nLost Feeling: We are slaves to house mortgage in reality, are we going to be mortgage slaves in the game as well?

nYu WenXiao: After seeing the update content, I feel my liver hardening.

nRound Bamboo: I don’t know if Beta Gamers are also Minecraft gamers. I’m curious how they are going to build grand palaces in an area of two square meters.

nWitness the Emperor with Prostitute: I feel the equipment auction will cost the rich gamers lots of money.

nMay all lovers become brothers and sisters: You are exaggerating. There aren’t many rich gamers. When it’s an Open Beta, then the real rich gamers will have a field day. We’ll just cheer with 666.

n…

nSherlock sat in the chair, pressing F5 and clicking the mouse as he read the posts happily. He was reading the gamers’ feedback.

nThe Beta Gamers got news of the updates, and the reaction was the inflation of the bronze coins.

nAll the updates required money, especially silver coins! One silver coin was equivalent to a thousand bronze coins. Carrying bricks for half a day only earned 100 bronze coins.

nRich gamers like NotWearingPants, Arthur, and BurningChestHair shouted at the Training Ground as they accumulated bronze coins at high prices. Poor gamers carried bricks diligently. A bronze coin was inflated from 5-10 Renminbi to 50 Renminbi.

nA few gamers sold their bronze coins at high prices, while some gamers tried to accumulate them at low prices or carried bricks diligently to earn and stockpile bronze coins.

nThe rich gamers didn’t shout for long before they joined the rest to carry bricks. Everyone carried bricks diligently and excavated Sherlock’s designated space. Some gamers even took up missions to transport goods like ores and beds to the warehouse.

nSherlock thought that the gamers would buy private land and beds, but he waited for half a day in vain. All the gamers were stockpiling bronze coins with the intention to sell them during the auction. At that time, the rich gamers would have the fiercest bidding, and the bronze coins would cost the most.

nSherlock understood their intentions. Unless they were in need of money, normal gamers would stockpile the bronze coins. There were only a hundred Beta Gamers. How many gamers were in serious need of money?

nSherlock was able to relax for a while.

nSherlock placed his hands behind his back and walked by the hasty gamers, who were either mining or carrying bricks. He walked towards the Blacksmith Shop. The gamers glanced at Sherlock before they continued their tasks.

nSherlock was pleased that his plan was a success. If only the gamers would work this hard daily. Sherlock felt his goal was a step closer.

nWhile the gamers were busy, the Blackiron Dwarves were busy forging a Mithril weapon, which was smelted from Cramer’s armor and Hammer.

nWhy was a Carpenter forging a weapon? This wasn’t a big deal in the Underworld.

nHow could a Blacksmith who couldn’t prepare meals be a good Carpenter?
