331 Developing the Spiders Lair (2/2)
”They are really free. Lord Sherlock, do you intend to let the gamers of Victoria City participate in the daily teachings of Specter College?” Bru asked with concern.
”There's nothing wrong with that. They can have entertainment at Specter College while they hone their combat skills. Most importantly, we can obtain Magic Stones as a reward. Is there a more profitable business?”
Sherlock countered with his argument.
”Indeed, there's not. However, if the Underworld gets to know that Lord Sherlock is that close to the Surface World, there may be leaks of the Doppelganger Precious Pearl…”
”If you're worried they may try to steal the Doppelganger Precious Pearl, don't be. They would have to attack the Dungeon Core of Eternal Kingdom since the Doppelganger Precious Pearl has been fused into the Dungeon Core.”
”Lord Sherlock, I'm worried about this problem!”
Sherlock wasn't bothered by Bru's concern. He said, ”Instead of worrying, think of how to develop and strengthen the Dungeon. Are all the required materials here yet?”
”They have all arrived, Lord Sherlock,” Bru said respectfully.
”You've purchased 100 Spider Queens. Did they cost a lot?”
”No, it's the requirements for 10,000 gamers.”

[Mission Title: Excavate the Underground Spiders' Lair
Mission Description: We conquered the Underground Spiders' Lair, but we didn't locate the Spider Queen, who could be hidden deep in the Underworld. Warriors, let's find her!
Mission Reward: Reputation Points and game currency.]
When Peasant received the mission, he took a shovel and a pickaxe and boarded a Beetlemon at Entrance No. 1. There were many gamers like him who were going to the Spiders' Lair.
Peasant couldn't help recalling the past. When he first joined the game, he followed tens of gamers and entered the Spiders' Lair timidly. He remembered the nervous feeling when he saw the ugly Underground Spiders.
The First Beta Gamers used a lot of effort to overcome that sense of fear.
He hadn't entered the Spiders' Lair for a long time as it was a specialized Training Ground for beginners. Peasant, being a veteran, was at the marshland of the Marsh Inkspewers to hunt for Large Lizards. There were also Dire Wolves and Underground Spiders at the marshland.
When he returned to the Spiders' Lair, many places had changed.
A group of gamers was very bored, so there was a constructed Beetlemon shelter at the entrance of the Spiders' Lair. According to the gamer who constructed it, he wanted the gamers who were waiting for the Beetlemon to be protected from the elements.
The walls and ground were full of graffiti and symbols.
After it upgraded to Level 3, Eternal Kingdom's Dungeon Core had consolidated the Spiders' Lair within its boundary.
The greatest change was the Teleport Portal that was under construction at the entrance!
The game was replacing the Beetlemon train system with a Teleport Portal!
