337 Reforming the Commercial Area (1/2)

Sherlock was refreshing the forum pages continuously, but he didn't see the content that he was interested in.

According to his experience, after spending large sums of money to create the new Spiders' Lair, the gamers should be enthusiastically discussing the Strategy Guide and heaping praises!

On the third page were some insignificant posts about the Underground Spiders, but they garnered pitiful responses.

The previous three pages had similar content to the first post on the first page.

[Rich gamer and powerful gamer fought against each other. Raintea was hospitalized due to illness. She is the faction goddess!]

The content was about Raintea being ill and hospitalized.

It wasn't known when Arthur visited her and met another mysterious, powerful gamer, but a conflict broke out, and they fought with each other.

The post hinted in many ways that the powerful gamer was Dragonborn!

The post garnered incessant replies.

”What's up with the gamers? I spend so much effort to improve the Spiders' Lair, and they don't show any appreciation. Yet they show a great deal of concern for an insignificant gamer?” Sherlock frowned as he asked.

”Even the Humans in our world will focus on the King and not a princess.”

”Lord Sherlock, don't be bothered. It's a matter of excessive hormonal secretion,” Bru said. ”The effect of the new map is very good. The gamers lost a huge amount of equipment due to their deaths in the lair. According to the long queues at the Blacksmith Shop, we are reaping a handsome profit.”

”Good, follow my plan to continue construction. My goal is to expand the Living Quarters,” Sherlock ordered.

”I understand, Lord Sherlock. As your loyal servant, I have a good suggestion. We have a large space in the Commerce Area, but we don't have any shops. This isn't good for our business operations. I suggest letting the gamers buy the shops via auction so that they can sell their own goods. We have to stop the trend of the gamers setting up impromptu stalls and selling their goods, designating a specific location for their stalls.”

Bru said, ”Of course, whether it's a commercial shop or an impromptu stall, we have to charge processing fees, management fees, Dungeon beautification fees, duties, utility fees, breathing fees, tolls, and other miscellaneous fees!”

”Hmm, you're right. Won't they protest?” Sherlock nodded and asked.

”I'm sure they'll be unhappy. However, as the number of gamers has increased dramatically, there is hardly any space to walk in the Commercial Area. We have to put some measures in place to prevent the situation from worsening!” Bru said forcefully.

Sherlock nodded and decided to use Bru's suggestion.

Sherlock didn't feel a need to create an update for the shops and impromptu stalls, only needing to add details to the original post. After that, he would let the gamers carry out the plan.

…

Eggface was sleeping in his nest. Yesterday, he played computer games for a long time while Lord Sherlock was out.

He had to pay the price. Before he could rest, Sherlock called him up.

”You played games through the night while I was away?”

Eggface didn't panic. Due to his black skin, his dark eye rings couldn't possibly be seen.

”No, I didn't! I slept soundly last night!”
