525 Dragonborns Strange Encounter Mission (1/2)
Eggface was sitting in the office, looking at the computer and the statistics form on the table. He was typing furiously on the keyboard and entering the data of the form into a document on the computer.
This was his new job.
As a secretary, it was his duty to perform data entry using the statistics form. Eggface was trained for a few days before being put to work.
\”The Northern Dungeons are generous…\”
Eggface wasn't the only creature in the office. Polio and Phoenix were also there. Polio commented as he used his claws to tug at the form that was in front of Eggface.
\”That's for sure. Lord Sherlock defeated the Surface World monsters, so it's normal for the other Dungeon Lords to suck up to him. Who knows if Sherlock will become the second Michelangelo?\”
\”Why are you using the direct name of my master? No, I mean my previous master? Though Michelangelo has passed on, you shouldn't be disrespectful to him.\”
Though Polio reminded Eggface, his tone was filled with mocking intent. Phoenix was flapping his wings while he guffawed.
Eggface shook his head to shake off his drowsiness while he said impatiently to his companions, \”Can both of you go over there to play? I'm working, and if I don't finish my work, I won't be able to play computer games. I don't know if I'll be able to play any games today. Can you let me work in peace?\”
After being chastised by Eggface, Phoenix and Polio went to the side to do their own things. It wasn't that they were obedient to Eggface. If Sherlock came to know that they were disturbing Eggface during work, he would punish them, and they didn't wish to be punished by Sherlock.
In the office, Frangipani, who was without his shell, watched the scene intensely. He walked in big strides and carried a tray silently behind Eggface. Then he smiled and said, \”Mr. Eggface, is the chrysanthemum tea enough? Shall I warm it up for you?\”
The normally emotionless Frangipani spoke warmly to Eggface. On the tray was a cup of bloody chrysanthemum tea that he had brewed for Eggface. Eggface took the tea and sipped it once before saying to Frangipani, \”Hmm, the temperature is good, but the quantity isn't enough. Prepare ten times more chrysanthemum tea.\”
\”Okay, I'll do it now. Remember to take a rest and not overwork yourself,\” Frangipani said as he left with his tray. When he passed by Phoenix and Polio, he greeted them warmly.
Phoenix and Polio looked at the receding back view of Frangipani, then Polio said, bewildered, \”What kind of life do you think Sherlock installed for Frangipani? Ever since he came out of the Mana Device, he has been extremely obedient.\”
\”Who knows? Lord Sherlock has always been a master of manipulation. I don't want to have a taste of that device. Looking at the condition of Frangipani, it's not that simple,\” Phoenix said.
As he was about to continue, Polio dry coughed twice, and the fur on his back stood on end. Phoenix immediately understood the gesture and shut his mouth just as Sherlock walked into the office. Sherlock muttered to himself as he walked.
\”They wanted the Princess? The Fairies of Yggdrasill? I didn't expect that. I have a good idea…\”
\”Lord Sherlock, do you need my help? It's hard to work outside for a day. Let me massage your legs. How's that?\”
Polio watched Sherlock walk in and went forward to welcome him warmly. He extended his two paws to massage Sherlock's legs, but Sherlock raised his arm and pushed Polio away. Then Sherlock said, \”Don't worry, I won't put you in the Mana Device to punish you unless you commit mistakes. Polio, help me patrol the Dungeon if you have nothing to do.\”
When Sherlock mentioned the Mana Device, Frangipani couldn't help shivering as if he recalled something terrible in the deepest part of his soul.
Sherlock walked to his seat, exhausted, and sat down. Then he started typing on the keyboard. Though Phoenix couldn't see the screen, from Sherlock's expression, he knew that Sherlock was up to no good and was asking the warriors of Eternal Kingdom to help him. The gamers outside would start their operations when Sherlock finished typing.
It must be Sherlock's newly discovered command tactic. During his time, all orders were transmitted by shouting or through the usage of Mana, but now it was done by the advanced computer. It was quite unbelievable.
Phoenix thought it was incredible.
Everyone in Eternal Kingdom had their own job. Brainiac had finished his research on internet TV, so it was time for the product to be manufactured using assembly line production.
The internet TV's product installation technology had matured after a long period of research, so the assembly line production wasn't a big problem.
The next step was to promote the use of internet TV. If the internet TV couldn't be sold, then there would be no profits. Brainiac didn't have to worry, as Nicholas would help to promote the product. The Merchant Alliance was also willing to help Lord Sherlock promote internet TV to all Dungeons in the Northern Underworld. The Gladiator Arena had ordered a shipment of internet TVs, as the product was meant to promote the programs in the Gladiator Arena. It would be strange if the Gladiator Arena didn't buy them.
Though everything went smoothly, Brainiac encountered some problems with the gamers.
The product installation was performed by the gamers during the assembly line production. The appearance and functions of the internet TV were too similar to the ones that they had seen in real life. Though the product was run using Mana instead of electricity, the gamers couldn't help asking Brainiac questions.
