546 Patrick Stars Press Release (1/2)

”Ka ka!”

The Underground Spider gave a dying shriek before collapsing to the ground, dead.

A Black Armored Orc stood before the Underground Spider. Behind him were four of his companions and a group of Goblins.

All of them had green symbols above their heads.

The Orc who killed the Underground Spider had the word ”Arthur” above his head.

Arthur turned his head to look at the excited new gamers and sighed.

The entire Spiders' Lair was crowded with gamers. There was no place for him to stand.

Due to the Public Beta, all of the Chinese gamers participated in ”Dungeon”.

The number of gamers was in the millions. Due to the large number of gamers, many new gamers were unable to create their characters, as Victoria City and Eternal Kingdom didn't have space for them to appear.

Many gamers were waiting at the character design interface. All of the Daily Missions were excavation in the Dungeon, logging trees at Victoria Forest, or expanding new territory.

Whenever a new territory was created, the land before the Dungeon Lord Main Hall would be cleared. The gamers who occupied these areas would be chased out by Lord Sherlock and Queen Victoria or their employees.

To prepare space for the new gamers to appear, there was tight management of space in Victoria City and Eternal Kingdom.

To the veteran gamers, it wasn't a big problem as long as they could enter the game. Fortunately, the queuing time was quite short.

The Goblins behind Arthur were new blood that joined the Pioneer Alliance. The members of the Guilds increased rapidly after the Public Beta Testing began. The upper limit for the Guilds was capped at 5,000 members, and a famous Guild like Pioneer Alliance had filled up the quota within two hours of the start of the Public Beta. Most of them joined the Pioneer Alliance because of Arthur.

NotWearingPants was the one who reviewed the members who joined the Guild, as Arthur didn't bother himself with anything involving administration.

”Arthur Bro is awesome. He's indeed the top rich gamer!”

”Can I be a student of Arthur?”

”Stop dreaming. It's not that easy to become a student of Arthur Bro.”

BurningChestHair hugged his arms and smiled as he said to the new gamers, ”Did you see how the Spiders were defeated? You'll attack the legs, as that's the most powerful part of the Spiders.”

”ChestHair, we saw that, but we don't have monsters to fight…” a new gamer said.

The area around Eternal Kingdom was crowded with new Goblins. Even the Sighing Wilderness and the marshlands of the Marsh Inkspewers were crowded with Goblins. Though the Goblins would die in the dangerous maps of the Sighing Wilderness and the marshlands, the gamers would still venture over there.

This was because there were simply too many gamers. If they didn't go to the outlying areas, they wouldn't be able to play the game.

They couldn't possibly stand in the Dungeon and excavate in a daze. The gamers knew that Daily Missions were very important. However, they had just entered the game, so they wouldn't be able to work diligently in the Dungeon.

After a few days, when they had no money, equipment, or friends, they would mine ore diligently. In this game, mining ore was the most convenient way to upgrade themselves. It was also the most lucrative activity for common gamers.

How could the gamers survive by wandering around and enjoying the scene?

Arthur didn't see many Underground Spiders around him. Instead, there were endless green-skinned Goblins and their loud noises. This was even after the Chat System was implemented in the game. Without the Chat System, the Spiders' Lair would have exploded with the thunderous noises.

”How many new gamers are there? There are too many gamers in the Public Beta. Can the servers support the gamers?” Sylvanas asked begrudgingly as she looked at the crowd. In the previous popular online games, the common complaint was too many gamers. And now, ”Dungeon” was facing the same problem.

”I don't know. I read on the discussion forum that tens of millions of gaming capsules were sold.”

”Tens of millions of gaming capsules? Oh my god. Are there tens of millions of gamers?”

”Perhaps it's true. I saw screenshots of Victoria Forest on the discussion forum. The forest was crowded with gamers. I feel that the forest isn't much smaller than a city, and it's crowded with gamers. The number is frightening.”

”We have a lot of gamers in Eternal Kingdom too. The empty spaces that we excavated were filled with buildings. Many Guilds expanded to the Sighing Wilderness and the marshes of the Marsh Inspewers and started constructing their buildings.”

The gamers were discussing the number of new gamers in the Pioneer Alliance Chat channel.

They were using the newly implemented Chat System, specifically the Guild channel.

Due to the number of gamers, the chat volume was too loud. If they chatted using their voices, not many gamers could hear the conversations.

Nobody had an actual figure of the new gamers. It was just a gossip topic for the gamers. Truthfully, they weren't really interested in the exact figure.

Arthur was examining the content in the Guild Chat channel. Suddenly, he heard a scream and the sound of a body being pierced.

A gamer was using the Chat Channel and didn't see the newly spawned Underground Spiders.

His chest was penetrated by the claws of an Underground Spider. A group of Underground Spiders came out, and someone shouted, ”It's time to fight the monsters! It's time to fight the monsters!”

”Gosh, don't compete with me. I saw the Spiders first.”

”Bros, please let me have the Spiders. I only need two more Spiders to complete this mission.”

”I'm buying Spider Silk! I'm buying Spider Silk!”

Various shouts filled the Spiders' Lair.

While the gamers were killing the Spiders, a Lich was deploying rows of Spider Queens in the depths of the excavated caves.
