309 Commencement of Third Beta Testing! (1/2)
[The servers will be shutting down in 30 seconds. To prevent loss of items, all online gamers are to get offline immediately.]
When the last full-service announcement was made, all gamers had gone offline.
Brainiac looked at the quiet Eternal Kingdom and wrote in his journal.
Simba, Mufasa, and Moroes stopped work. They were in Simba's house, chatting, drinking tea, and smoking metal sticks.
Beast and Yoda were closer to each other as they were once part of the Merchant Alliance.
After the Winterfell incidents and with the help and assistance of Sherlock, Winterfell dismissed Evelynn's arrest warrant.
Sherlock encouraged her to find a new job and start fresh, but there was no progress. Evelynn would say, ”It's not easy to find a job. Though I'm embarrassed, I hope to impose on you for a few days. I'll work hard for Lord Sherlock!”
Sherlock wouldn't decline her request.
The real situation was that, due to some reasons, Evelynn didn't apply for jobs seriously. Even if she sent out her resumes and was successful, she would give all sorts of reasons to decline. Sherlock could only encourage her. What else could he say? It was best to just smile.
The gamers were all offline. Evelynn, who had been busy working, was able to take a rest. She was shopping and touring in Winterfell.
The news of the large recruitment of servants was released to them, so everyone was enjoying their leisure time. They were going to face five times the number of gamers very soon.
”Lord Sherlock, all preparations are completed. The servers are disconnected from the internet. All gamers have returned to the Dungeon. Nobody requested for a change of faction. This proves that your Dungeon management is successful. They welcome your style of management!”
Bru was fawning over Sherlock, inflating his ego.
”The servers will restart in one hour as according to plan. Allocate the gamers to their factions.”
Bru said immediately, ”Don't worry, Lord Sherlock, I made all of the arrangements. Miss Lilo has completed her preparations, and we are connected via Mana. I will be using Miss Lilo's Mana for all Mana usage on the Surface World.”
Sherlock nodded and browsed through the queries of the gamers.

In a bright and spacious room, the furnishings were luxurious, like a palace.
Four round pillars that were seven to eight meters high were the support pillars of the room.
A gaming capsule was placed in the middle of the room, and two rows of servants stood by the side.
The gaming capsule flashed with green light before the door opened gradually. A bit of mysterious fluid seeped out of the capsule, but most of it flowed back into the device.
