After looking through the mission, Sherlock said, ”Seems like there's no problem.”
”No, Lord Sherlock, there's a problem,” Bru said.
”In the veteran gamers group, besides one gamer, none of them has Reputation Level 5 or above.”
The Dungeon Core showed an image that depicted Raintea working diligently at the flowerbed. She was smiling contentedly.
”It's this veteran gamer. She has attained Level 6. For the past two months, Raintea didn't perish once and didn't recreate her character. Other gamers have recreated their character at least once. Currently, their Reputation Levels are at most Level 4.”
”If they challenge the Instance Dungeon now and are killed, they'll have to recreate their characters. Though their Reputation Points will not be reset to zero, points will be deducted. To achieve Reputation Level 5 and complete The Way of the Gnome, they are doing safer missions like raiding the ruins.”
Bru continued explaining, ”Because of this mission, the magical items kept by the veteran gamers are exchanged for rewards. I informed them to place the items at a specific location for storage.”
”I see. Then there's no good solution.” Sherlock nodded. He took out a pen and some paper and wrote an address on it before taking out some powder and igniting it.
He burnt the letter, which was sent to Bacon.
”Lord Sherlock? You've written a single address?” Bru didn't understand Sherlock's intention.
”Just a gathering place for poor female students. This is not a problem. Bacon will sort it out.” Sherlock didn't say much. He took another letter and opened it.
”Respectable Boss Sherlock,
I would like to represent all of the employees of the Northern Underground World Gladiator Arena to thank you for your support. We have received your letter. You are a big boss with thousands of Goblins, and we value your support. But please understand that our profession is a special one.
We are very interested in your proposal of Goblins fighting with the Giants. However, we require your Goblins to go through a selection test.
Please bring along 50 Goblin Gladiators to our arena for a selection test within ten days. We will arrange a suitable category for your Gladiators to fight in the arena.
Looking forward to your arrival—Northern Underground World Gladiator Arena”
”It seems like the development of this matter is pretty smooth. I'll bring some gamers to participate in a fight. After the selection test, I'll be able to let the gamers participate in similar Gladiator Tournaments or performances,” Bru said.
”I thought they would accept my proposal. I could then make two groups of gamers fight and make money for me. I didn't expect them to do a selection test…” Sherlock hugged his arms and thought for a while. Then he said, ”With only 50 Gladiators, my power will appear diminished.”
”As they are Goblins, not many of them are qualified Gladiators,” Bru said. ”Lord Sherlock, how do I select the fifty gamers?”
”Select the gamers with the highest Weapon Levels. I'm confident they'll pass the selection test,” Sherlock said.
”Package it as a hidden PVP preparatory mission. Arrange for the strongest 50 gamers to participate. Give them some Reputation Points and coins as rewards. We'll set out at 8am sharp tomorrow.”
”Lord Sherlock, I feel that it's better to delay for a day,” Bru suggested.
”Why?” Sherlock asked.
”Because the day after tomorrow is Sunday in the otherworld. They'll have more time.”
”We'll do that.” Sherlock nodded.

A Black Armored Goblin sat up in a room filled with Goblins who were lying down.
The word ”Arthur” was above his head.
As he woke, [The Calling of the Gladiator Arena: The Start of the Tournament!] appeared in his mind.
