332 Im Calling for a Meeting (1/2)
”Clank!”
Peasant swung his pickaxe at the wall.
The pebbles that flew off the wall fell pit-pattering on Peasant's helmet. The gamers at the side used their shovels to clear the excavated Diamond Seam ore.
The ore was transported outside of the Spiders' Lair, then transported back by gamers who received specialized missions. Due to the influx of gamers, Eternal Kingdom was facing land scarcity, and it was becoming overcrowded. The usage of resources increased dramatically, and they were running out of Diamond Seam rocks.
Aside from using these rocks to produce equipment, they were also used as construction materials. Eternal Kingdom had an abundant supply of these rocks.
”Did Raintea come today?” a gamer asked as Peasant was working his pickaxe.
”Ah? I don't know, I didn't see her.” Peasant thought for a while before replying.
”Did Raintea quit the game? She hasn't been online for many days,” the gamer said with uncertainty.
Peasant shook his head and said, ”I don't know, but it's a pity if she quit the game. After all, she's almost like an iconic NPC. Have you finished excavating for the day?”
”I'm almost done. After this excavation mission, I'm returning to Eternal Kingdom and heading to the Marsh Inkspewer Town for my Daily Mission.”
”Oh, after you finish your Daily Mission, wait in the Dungeon to be a replacement for the expedition team. We're creating a new expedition group tonight.”
Peasant reminded him, and he said, ”Okay!”
They started chatting about other topics. Outside the excavation site, an Underground Spider peeped out and was immediately killed by the gamers. It was normal to kill monsters in the excavation area.
…
”Pom.”
Arthur threw the head of a Large Lizard to the ground.
The bones, skin, flesh, and claws were cleanly sorted out. The skulls of the Large Lizards were to be submitted to the Marsh Inkspewers for completing missions.
”Thank you for your bravery, Arthur.”
Salted Fish expressed his gratitude to the Black Armored Arthur. He had a deep impression of this Black Armored Gnome.
Arthur would submit the heads of these hateful Large Lizards to him daily, and the other gamers mentioned Arthur occasionally. After some time, Salted Fish got to know about the famous Arthur.
Arthur nodded at Salted Fish, while the gamers at the side showed their admiration and said, ”That's cool, the NPC called his name directly. It's awesome to be the top gamer.”
Sylvanas was proud of Arthur and felt she was being praised as well.
”I have finished my Daily Mission, so let's challenge the Instance Dungeon! I'll shout for them to gather!”
NotWearingPants clapped his hands, and BurningChestHair said, ”Make haste! We spent an hour just to organize a team the last time.”
”There was no choice, not all Guild members were free. Besides, we added a lot of new members. Many veterans are mentoring the beginners, and the game map is extremely huge,” NotWearingPants said after hearing BurningChestHair's complaint.
”Hurry and organize the group. Stop talking,” Sylvanas said.
