252 Reverse Strategy Guide (1/2)
The new Instance Dungeon was too difficult!
That was what the gamers thought after they challenged the new Instance Dungeon.
The combat pace was extremely fast, and there was no fixed tactic to deal with the BOSSES. The skills in the game couldn't be understood as there were no proper explanations. The gamers couldn't pinpoint their location or find BUGS to exploit. They had to depend on their capability to defeat the BOSSES.
The graduating students in Specter College had to put in more effort as the difficulty had been raised just like what the gamers experienced. They were in a mutually disadvantaged situation.
The real winner was Sherlock, who sat in front of the computer to read comics, play computer games, and browse the discussion forum.
The gamers had to spend Reputation Points and game coins to challenge the Instance Dungeon. After being killed, they had to spend Reputation Points and game coins to redeem their equipment. The gamers were enthusiastic in challenging the Instance Dungeon, and death was as common as breathing.
A portion of the gamers was unable to earn Magic Stones in Winterfell. Sherlock had introduced some good stuff like the eggs of the Houndhead Man, which were limited to a hundred and had rare labels. The gamers were racking their brains on how to obtain them.
A Houndhead Man egg cost a hundred Magic Stones. Only the rich gamers could afford it.
As for the Houndhead Man pet hatched from the egg, Sherlock found that the creature was very cute based on his observations in the Dungeon and on the discussion forum.
But the gamers didn't think the same way.
[Is there an issue with aesthetic value in the game ”Dungeon: Eternal Kingdom”? You call the label cute?]
Then there were a bunch of pictures of small Houndhead Man pets.
The fangs weren't proportional to the huge head, and the skin was grayish red as though it was burnt. The triangular eyes were inverted, and blood vessels that looked like tree roots climbed all over the body. The creatures looked like an extremely ugly and shrunk version of the three-headed Hell Hound without two heads.
The Houndhead Man pets or Hell Hound pets were only as tall as the gamers' calves when hatched.
The pet didn't take clay, only meat, and the meat created by the gamers using Mana wasn't accepted.
The pet loved Large Lizards Meat, Spider Meat, and Dire Wolf Meat.
It wasn't possible to keep one without money as the pet ate like Eggface.
Most of the gamers felt the pet was too ugly. Only a small portion of the gamers who played ”World of Warcraft” thought otherwise.
”The uglier the creature, the better the character, and the greater the value for keeping it. What do you know?”
While Sherlock was browsing the discussion forum, he heard a knock at the door.
”Come in.”
