550 The Gamers New Ideas (1/2)

The gamers of Eternal Kingdom were focused on this mission.

No matter whether the gamers were passionate about Instance Dungeons, PK, or were just life connoisseur gamers, and regardless of whether the gamers were Guild members of unaffiliated gamers, they proceeded towards the farm as indicated in the Mission Description.

First of all, they had to enter Winterfell.

…

”I have done the research. The fastest route is to enter the Teleport Portal of Winterfell to another Merchant Alliance Dungeon called Dark Fortress. Then we have to rent a Beetlemon to journey for two days.”

On the main street of Winterfell, Peasant spoke to Arthur as he held a map.

It was supposed to be a competitive mission, but it had become a Faction Mission. Whoever completed the mission first would get the rewards. Hence, all of the gamers were in a hurry to complete the mission.

”Peasant is efficient. You managed to find out the information in such a short period of time.”

BurningChestHair patted Peasant's shoulder gratefully. Peasant said shyly, ”Don't compliment me. This mission is famous, so I managed to find information just by asking.”

Peasant took out a so-called urgent version of the ”Winterfell Daily Digest” and looked at it.

”Hades' Devil King Mammon invaded a farm? The chivalrous Lord Sherlock of Eternal Kingdom is helping!”

The headline was eye-catching, and the newspapers were all sold out.

”How much does it cost to rent a Beetlemon?” NotWearingPants asked, more concerned about the costs.

”I checked the prices at the Venice Beetlemon Rental. It depends on the capacity, breed, and appearance. We don't need a classy one. We'll just rent a functional one for a week at about 400 Magic Stones.”

Peasant replied quickly since he had done the research.

Arthur asked, ”What's the seating capacity?”

Peasant was taken aback, but he quickly replied, ”I didn't ask, but the size is similar to the ones in Eternal Kingdom. I think the seating capacity is about 100.”

”Only 100? Then it's not useful…”

NotWearingPants said with exasperation, ”This mission is going to be very difficult since the enemy is the Seventh Devil King, Mammon. Though we haven't seen him before, his reputation is like Lord Sherlock's. With a hundred of us, I don't think we can defeat him.”

”Then I'm at my wits' end…”

BurningChestHair was vexed, while Sylvanas frowned and pondered. The other gamers of the Pioneer Alliance also started thinking, but they didn't have any good solutions. The journey from Venice to the mission location was going to take two days, and the return journey would take another two days. It wasn't practical for a Beetlemon to transport the Guild members. Who had the time to wait for a Beetlemon?

What about renting a few Beetlemons? A Beetlemon would cost 400 Magic Stones a week, and 1,000 members would require ten Beetlemons. That would cost 4,000 Magic Stones as the initial layout. And who knew if there would be additional costs later on?

Leasing a territory, employing the required NPCs, and the construction of the buildings would only cost 100,000 Magic Stones. There was a Teleport Portal connecting to Eternal Kingdom. If this mission was going to cost that much when it might not even be successful, then it would be better to lease the territory from Lord Sherlock after accumulating money for a month.

Everyone discovered that all of the solutions for the mission weren't feasible. Only Arthur said, ”Let's try to construct a Teleport Portal over there. If it's possible, we only need to send the NPC workers over to the farm before constructing a connecting Teleport Portal back to Eternal Kingdom. The problem will be solved.”

”This idea is good, but it's not cheap to construct a Teleport Portal. It'll cost a few thousand Magic Stones,” Peasant said in exasperation.

Since Winterfell was opened to the gamers, they had been exploring the Dungeon. Many gamers were also working in Winterfell, so they were very familiar with the shops and merchandise. For example, at the Mana Construction Market, a Teleport Portal would cost 9999 Magic Stones with a 1% discount.
