415 Version 0.38 Update Log (1/2)
When Simba and Mufasa arrived at the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, the other employees were already waiting.
Once everyone was present, Sherlock stood up and announced, ”I would like to express my gratitude to you for your contributions over the past half a year. The contracts of Simba and Moroes are ending. However, I have prepared new contracts. We can sign them in two days…”
”Wait, Lord Sherlock, I…”
Simba stood up as he drummed up his courage. Sherlock glanced at Simba and said, ”Simba, there's something that I want to inform you of. I asked Dungeon Lord Nicholas about the leader of the Merchant Alliance's Professional Blacksmith Union, and they have a close relationship. You're now an Intermediate Blacksmith. To upgrade to an Advanced Blacksmith, you have to take a difficult exam that costs a ton. Don't worry, as long as Dungeon Lord Nicholas helps you say a few good words, you shouldn't have much of a problem.”
Simba immediately replied, ”I feel that I should sign the contract now. I'm sincere in working for Lord Sherlock. It's the greatest honor for me to work for Lord Sherlock.”
”Me too! Me too!” Moroes stood up and shouted, ”Even if it's a Soul Contract, I'd be willing to sign it! Let me be the soul partner of Lord Sherlock!”
Sherlock said happily, ”The signing of the contracts isn't urgent. We'll sign them after the end of the meeting. The main purpose of the meeting is—service upgrade.”
Seeing the bewildered expressions, Sherlock explained calmly, ”We have more and more citizens, but our services haven't caught up. We can't sustain this for long. I feel that it's necessary to define and upgrade everyone's scope of service. The first item is that the education of Mana Engineering has to start. Yoda, don't just research with Hemp Rope Technology. I know that he's intelligent, knowledgeable, and interesting, and if you weren't married, you would follow him in Mana research for the rest of your life, but take a look around. There are many citizens who are also interested in Mana Engineering. Besides you, I also need thousands of Mana Engineers who can operate my assembly lines in my factories.”
”I understand, Lord Sherlock. Don't you worry,” Yoda said as he recorded his thoughts in his notebook.
”Number two, Brainiac, I have reduced your workload to the minimum. In the Dungeon, your workload is the lightest.”
Brainiac lowered his head as he recalled that he hadn't slept for a few months. Sherlock quickly said, ”For Magical Items creation, I feel that it's time for you to start enchantment classes. In addition, Winterfell has given us some raw materials for Magical Items. It's time to use them as they won't increase in value.”
Sherlock took out a large map that depicted details of a city.
The title of the map read, ”Cross City”.
”Everyone, please take a look. This is the construction blueprint for Cross City.”
Everyone gathered to take a look. The middle of the blueprint was the Living Quarters. The other areas were the Mana Engineering Industrial Area, Potion Concoction Factory, Magical Items Factory, Sewing Factory, and other factories. The hi-tech buildings were the Mana Engineering, Potions, and Magical Items Factories. The low-tech buildings were the crockery, furniture, and handicraft factories. It was a comprehensive blueprint.
”Our goal is lofty. Everyone has to work diligently,” Sherlock said to everyone.
…
”It's too difficult.”
Peasant walked on the street of Small Distant Town. He held a Lava Spar, which was taken out of the lava caves in his hand. He wanted to see if the Lava Spar could be sold for Magic Stones.
He was unable to do so.
Nobody wanted to buy the Lava Spar because it wasn't a rare item and wasn't being used in Small Distant Town. Even if it was used in Winterfell, it would be supplied by specialized units.
After the gamers defeated the Lava Scouts with great effort, the obtained Lava Spar couldn't be used to trigger missions or exchanged for Magic Stones. The Lava Spar could only be sent to Eternal Kingdom to be exchanged for rewards, kept for personal use, or stored for future equipment improvement.
Most of the gamers preferred to exchange the Lava Spar at Eternal Kingdom. The gamers had gained experience. The price offered by Eternal Kingdom was a floating one. The greater the supply of an item, the lower the price. The lower the supply of an item, the greater the price. Of course, the final sale price to the gamers would be higher.
Eternal Kingdom was always making a profit no matter what.
Peasant shopped around and discovered that the Lava Spar couldn't be sold, so he intended to exchange it in Eternal Kingdom.
