n“Lord Sherlock, when you left to settle your confidential matter, the gamers discovered a large Houndhead Men’s Lair. I think it’s Cramer’s tribe.”

nWhen Sherlock walked into the Dungeon to make his daily rounds, Bru spoke to him in his mind. “After a day of bloody fighting, a day of raiding, the gamers smashed the Houndhead Men’s Lair. Besides the tens of eggs of the Houndhead Men, the gamers brought back other trash like candles, crude furniture, and stone tools.”

n“But don’t worry. I appraised the crude furniture and candles and gave them attributes. Then I distributed them to the gamers as rewards. The other useless trash was given to Simba and Mufasa as fuel for their furnaces.”

nSherlock had arrived at the Blacksmith Shop.

nThe outside of the Blacksmith Shop was very quiet, and there were no gamers. Besides the usual signboard, “If you treasure your equipment, keep quiet,” there was another signboard, “Disposal of Trash in the surrounding areas is strictly prohibited.”

nSimba was throwing the trash outside the Blacksmith Shop. At the side was a large pile of damaged equipment. He was scolding, “D*mn Goblins, fancy throwing the nest of the Houndhead Men into my shop. Are you treating my shop as a trash collection center? Everything reeks of the Houndhead Men, and it stinks!”

nA large pile of trash was thrown in the Carpenter Workshop.

nMufasa stood in front of a cauldron, his nose stuffed with metal pieces. He held a large soup ladle and stirred the food in the cauldron. From time to time, he threw the trash behind him into the magical flames.

nA group of gamers queued outside and shouted, “Make haste, make haste!”

nIn front of Brainiac’s house, there was a queue of twenty gamers. They were perfectly fit, without any injuries or deaths.

nThey gathered here because they received a special mission.

nMission Title: Brainiac’s Research

nMission Description: Brainiac is starting a secret Creature Research. You look like a suitable lab rat.

nMission Objective: After receiving the mission, proceed to the Lich’s Burial Hall to participate in a series of Creature Research. You could perish and have to create a new character. If you have to create a new character, your Reputation Points will remain unchanged.

nMission Reward: Gamers will receive 300 Reputation Points, 100 bronze coins, and a chance to receive the Dark Modification improvement BUFF or a weakening DEBUFF. The effects continue until death.

nThe missions were distributed by Bru under orders from Sherlock. This was the research Brainiac requested.

nRequested research—the relationship between the death and revival of the Goblins.

nSherlock gave Brainiac two days to research in return for Brainiac providing free materials and skill support for modifying ten eggs of the Houndhead Men.

nThis mission was currently very popular. Sherlock saw a gamer who didn’t manage to get the mission. He was pounding the ground and shouting, “Why didn’t I get this mission? I would like to lie down, do nothing, let the Lich play for an hour, and receive my reward!”

nSherlock made his rounds to ensure the Dungeon was fine after leaving for a day.

nHe returned to the Dungeon Core Main Hall with peace of mind. Then he browsed the discussion forum.

nJust as Sherlock expected, the forum was in a state of exhilaration because the Beta Gamers discovered the Houndhead Men’s Lair.

nSherlock wasn’t in the Dungeon yesterday, so he didn’t manage to observe how the gamers attacked the Houndhead Men. From the results, the gamers achieved total victory.

nSince the gamers brought back the nest and tens of eggs, he assumed the tribe was exterminated.

nThe popular posts were about the new NPC, Brainiac, as well as yesterday’s discovery of the Houndhead Men’s Lair and the ensuing battle that lasted for a day.

nSherlock quickly discovered the most popular post.

nLet us discuss the game’s latest function and the battle of the Houndhead Men’s Lair

n“Hello everyone, I’m NotWearingPants ( ✧◡✧)

nThe game has been upgraded to the new version for two days. There are many newly added functions. This post was supposed to be published yesterday, but we discovered the Houndhead Men’s Lair.

nBecause of the battle of the Houndhead Men’s Lair, we stayed online for almost twenty hours. I just got offline to create this post.

nLet us take a look at the contents of Version 0.04.

nFirst point: New NPC—Brainiac.

nThis is a game created Lich who is a once-in-a-thousand-year genius from Specter College. He came to the Dungeon as he was being moved by Sherlie. There were no Plot Animations, and we were extremely perplexed. At least show us a Plot Animation to whet our appetite. Some experts speculated that the Plot Animation could be shown in the future versions as a memory.

nThis kind of anticipation hooks the players, and the future memory recall can be made into an Instance Dungeon. Many large game companies use this technique.

nThe most notable reference Instance Dungeon, Caverns of Time, had the appearance of Ashbringer and the prison break of Thrall. They were good examples.

nAs for the game producers of ‘Dungeon’ messing with the settings of the Specter College, we’ll pretend that it didn’t happen since they have added new content.

nWe can find out more about the background story of Brainiac. We are very sure that this NPC will have future plots and missions, just like Little Fairy, who lays on her bed all the time.

nThe plots and missions weren’t uploaded yet, as Brainiac would only communicate during missions.

nNext is Brainiac’s screenshot:

n(Picture) (Picture)…

nThe new NPC can only revive and heal gamers and provide the Brainiac’s Research mission. We believe that he will provide more game content in the future. We shall see.

nSecond point: New mission—Brainiac’s Research.

nThe mission was online today, and half of the gamers received the mission. But, unfortunately, I didn’t get it.

nI will say that it’s a benefit instead of a mission because it only requires the gamer to follow Brainiac’s instruction for certain death experiments. The experiments include being smashed to death, suffocation, incineration, and bleeding to death. You don’t even have to be online. After an hour, get revived and receive the rewards.

nThe rewards are 300 Reputation Points and 100 bronze coins.

nI am so envious!

nThe mission proves that Brainiac isn’t mute, but that he just won’t answer our questions.

nThird point: There is a reward called Dark Modification in the mission Brainiac’s Research. Nobody has attained this modification yet. We shall see.

nFourth point: The game added a Building Blueprint Audit function. Our plan to create a methane pool has gone up in smoke, but we are able to build a beautiful Dungeon together.

nThis proves that the lousy game producers are stalking the forum.

nFifth point: There is a new transportation tool, the Beetlemon, which we fondly named the ‘Train’.

nThe Beetlemon is a new creature after the update, and its route is between the Dungeon entrance and the Spiders’ Lair.

nIt looks huge and fierce but is actually meek and obedient. It will crush us to death if we aren’t careful.

nThat is correct. Just like what was described in the Update Log, if you stand under its feet, you will be crushed to death.

nThis creature has to be fed, cleaned, and its poo cleared regularly. We receive these Beetlemon related missions from time to time. The Beetlemon take the same kind of food that we eat but in greater quantity. This poses a great challenge to our supply of clay.

nThe train service stops at 12am, as the Beetlemon needs to sleep. This is a game setting.

nControlling the Beetlemon is like controlling the AE86 of Fujiwara Beancurd Shop. It’s harder to maneuver the bends. I’m using the laws of physics for negotiating the bends. Don’t ask, it’s disastrous.

nPlease take care of yourselves. Do not attack the train. Some gamers injured the Beetlemon, and it crushed seven to eight gamers in a tragic accident.

nHere are some special shots of the train:

nI have completed the evaluation of Version 0.04 Update. I am now going to talk about the Houndhead Men’s Lair!

nThe Houndhead Men’s Lair was situated within the Spiders’ Lair. As we ventured deeper into the Spiders’ Lair yesterday, we discovered the Houndhead Men’s Lair.

nWe spent a day to slay all the Houndhead Warriors, and the remaining Houndhead Men fled. Frankly speaking, it wasn’t that difficult.

nThe leader of the Houndhead Men, Cramer, was the most difficult BOSS to defeat.

nThe Houndhead Men’s Lair was like a stockade with defensive structures. There were walls stacked using rocks. They weren’t very high, but they gave us a chance to experience a siege or wall climbing battle?

nThese are the screenshots of the battle scenes:

n(Picture) (Picture)…

nThere are lots of pictures, so take your time to look through them. Please call me Battlefield Reporter NotWearingPants.

nThe following are pictures of the loot, including furniture and equipment:

n(Picture) (Picture)…

nThe eggs of the Houndhead Men are our special loot!

n(Picture)

nThe eggs could be exchanged for Reputation Points and bronze coins. We kept a few eggs for research and incubation. What if the incubation is successful?

nSomeone witnessed Brainiac take ten eggs away. There might be new plots and gameplay. We will keep a lookout.

nI shall end here as I am resting early for tomorrow’s expedition to the Instance Dungeon. Looking forward to more game content.

nGoodnight everyone!”
