Dungeon Player

Nicholas stood outside the core hall of the dungeon, wearing a black tuxedo. If you don't take into account his slightly protruding sharp teeth and pointed ears that are somewhat similar to those of an elf, by human standards, this Nicholas is quite handsome. people.

And Nicholas' actions obviously also aroused the players in the dungeon, and they followed Nicholas one after another. Sherlock understood their behavior very well, in order not to miss the so-called "plot animation" that might appear. He had done the same before. So surrounded by crazy people.

But Nicholas didn't understand. He saw so many goblins rushing around and then following him all the way. Although they were all goblins, the psychological pressure was still great. The most important thing was that these players They will keep saying:

"Where is Zhao Si going?"

"Who triggered the plot?"

"I don't know. Are there any new activities?"

"Just follow Zhao Si and that's it."

"Look at how the little cloth bag I changed looks like on my back."

"Let's form a group and continue fighting later."

"Gather up first, then go straight after watching the plot."

"I just saw Arthur going out alone with a movable weapon. I'm afraid he didn't want to kill the underground spiders alone."

"Even if he attends the most training classes, is it a bit exaggerated to just do it alone?"

"Made, if I had known I would have saved all the materials, the materials are so expensive today."

"I was so anxious to strengthen my equipment before that I'm afraid I regret it now."

It doesn't matter if you don't understand these words, the key is that dozens of people have been walking behind you and talking non-stop. Why do these goblins like to talk so much! Nicholas felt like his ears were being bombarded by these goblins.

Nicholas thought he had met a lot of goblins, but he had never seen anyone who liked to talk so much. When several goblins got together, they couldn't fart for a long time. He didn't understand. , where did these goblins come from with so many words to say!

Nicholas came to the door of the core hall, and his ears were filled with buzzing voices. Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and Sherlock had already walked out.

When this demon lord appeared, the voices on the side gradually stopped. There were "shhh" sounds everywhere, and some people whispered to those who were still talking:

"Stop talking now, the plot is about to begin!"

Putting these goblin issues aside, Nicholas did not come here to mention the goblin matter, but because of another matter.

"Lord Sherlock, please forgive me for my sudden visit." He saluted respectfully to Sherlock, and then said: "Since coming to your dungeon, I am grateful for your meticulous care of me. In order to express my gratitude to In gratitude of Lord Shylock, please allow me to offer you a gift.”

Sherlock looked at Nicholas in front of him and frowned.

If meticulous care refers to an empty space without paved floor tiles, or even a bed, then the so-called gratitude is ironic, right?

Sherlock was a little unhappy, you little vampire, are you trying to hint at this lord?

Of course, Nicholas was not here to ridicule Sherlock. He really hoped to take this opportunity to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Sherlock. After all, Nicholas was shocked by the goblins' unconventional actions.

Nicholas had really never seen a goblin be so unscrupulous in front of a high-level vampire, chatting non-stop like having a tea party. Even after Nicholas released the pressure, there was still no reaction.

Even though Nicholas was physically and mentally exhausted from the harassment of these goblins chatting madly, on the other hand, Nicholas also realized the fact that these goblins... were so terrifying!

These goblins are not afraid of themselves at all! Does this rely on the power of goblins? That's definitely not the case! It must be relying on the power of Sherlock as the lord!

Nicholas has been to so many underground cities, but this is the first time he has encountered it.

Nicholas became more convinced that Lord Sherlock's background was not simple. As a businessman, he felt that he needed to make some risky investment in Lord Sherlock, which was also an investment in his future.

When he saw Sherlock's somewhat unhappy expression, Nicholas quickly continued:

"Lord Sherlock, I am fascinated by your dungeon and these brave and determined servants. If possible, I hope you can allow me to invest in your dungeon, and this investment will serve as my A gift to you.”

Sherlock finally understood that this vampire wanted to invest in the stock! As for the reason, is it because he is obsessed with his dungeon and his brave and determined servants?

Sherlock looked around the barren dungeon, and then at the group of playful smiling faces behind Nicholas. He whispered to the players who had been praised by the NPC again. Sherlock invited the vampire into the core hall:

"Come in and talk about what you want to invest in."

After Nicholas respectfully entered the core hall, Sherlock closed the door of the hall, leaving the confused players outside. They once again broke out into heated discussions, which Sherlock could guess without going out to listen. What they were talking about was nothing more than speculation and discussion about the scene they just saw.

Sherlock invited Nicholas to sit down, and then tapped his fingers on the table in front of him a few times. At this time, the core of the dungeon "Blue" was enthusiastically proposing in his head the suggestion of blackmailing the vampire baron again. .

However, Sherlock did not reply to Dungeon Core Blue, but frowned and said to Nicholas:

"To be honest, I'm not short of magic stones, but I still have a good impression of you, so I want to hear your investment plan first."

Nicholas said enthusiastically:

"Lord Sherlock, I would like to recommend in my own name to the Merchant Alliance to include your dungeon and the Eternal Kingdom dungeon as one of the normal transactions of the alliance. We will set up a portal in your dungeon and place regular Resident merchants, no matter Lord Sherlock, your dungeon lacks any materials during the development period, or needs to build any buildings, our merchant alliance will provide the best quality supplies and services, and develop your dungeon throughout the entire process. In terms of resources, we will protect them and these resources will be settled at 80% of the market price. This is the gift I want to give you."

After hearing this, Sherlock still hesitated in his heart. After all, this proposal was quite tempting, with free resident merchants, free portals and 80% settlement of various materials and goods.

After leaving Nicholas, Sherlock can also apply for the Merchant Alliance to settle in his dungeon, but the application fee and deposit alone will cost a sum of money. He also has to set up his own portal to provide commissions for the merchants who settle in the Merchant Alliance. This is all money.

Obviously, Nicholas' recommendation will save Shylock a lot of money.

But there are many problems with doing this.

That is the development of your own dungeon. The merchant alliance will join in, and the common sense of players from other worlds is very different from the common sense of this world. When these players have long-term contact with the merchant alliance, The series of problems and possible serious consequences that followed made Sherlock feel troublesome just thinking about it.

The reason why Nicholas's caravan is allowed to enter his dungeon is that they need to be the protagonists of this first test event, which can also be used to make the players in the other world happy and mobilize their enthusiasm for work. Secondly, it is also because of Nicholas' The caravan will only stay for three days. In such a short time, Sherlock is not worried about what they will find, not to mention the agreement between himself and Nicholas as a guarantee.

There is also another main reason. Sherlock does not trust Nicholas. As a city lord, the vampire baron who has only known him for a day proactively asked to invest in his dungeon. If he agreed with excitement, it would be Sherlock's stupidity. Or are demons just too naive these days?

Sherlock knew Nicholas's plan very well. Firstly, he wanted to test it out, and secondly, he might really want to invest.

Although Sherlock is in short supply of magic stones, he is not so short as to invite unfamiliar people into his dungeon.

"I'm sorry, Baron Nicholas, although your proposal is very tempting, I have to refuse." Sherlock spread his hands in a bachelor's manner: "To tell you the truth, the caravan that applied to my dungeon has already been sent to my little secretary. I have an appointment there until next year, but I already have plans in mind regarding the idea of ​​a trading base.”

"But Lord Sherlock..."

Nicholas obviously did not expect that Sherlock would reject him so simply. After all, a newly developed dungeon would agree quite simply. This is a win-win strategy. The dungeon is guaranteed with abundant resources. Nicholas You can also extract profits from it, and you can also increase your weight in the merchant alliance. By the way, you have established a relationship with the dungeon lord. Otherwise, how do you think a mere vampire baron can drink tea with the dungeon lord and beat people up? ah?

"Needless to say, the blueprint of the trade base I envisioned is extremely grand. It cannot be completed by a trade portal and a stationed merchant. If you have nothing to do, you should go back first. After all, your arrival is of great significance to me. This is a rare carnival for the servants. I hope you can have a happy time during these three days, and that my servants can also have a happy time, so that they will work harder." Sherlock said nothing. He said this hesitantly, then stood up, put his arm on Nicholas's shoulder, and continued speaking pleasantly:

"Oh, Nicholas, don't get me wrong. My rejection of you is not directed at you, nor is I looking down on you. You also know that opening a dungeon is not easy. You need to take care of all aspects, especially me. I don't just do whatever I want. Why? There are countless pairs of eyes staring at me from behind. If I make a mistake and make some big news, they will post like crazy. I concealed the news about your coming to the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon at first, but they discovered it. After that, I have spent a lot of effort to get it back. Otherwise, it is still up to you whether you can still trade with me. You said that if I allow you to just set up a portal in my dungeon, , how should I explain it to those people behind me, and how many announcements do I have to make before it can be resolved satisfactorily?"

As Sherlock spoke, he sent Nicholas out very intimately. Amidst the chatter of the players, Sherlock continued:

"I'm actually very optimistic about your Nicholas. Although we can't cooperate now, I believe that with your experience and talent, we will be able to cooperate one day. I believe in you, Nicholas."

After saying that, Sherlock closed the core hall, leaving only Nicholas with a stunned look on his face. Nicholas was silent for a few seconds in the sight of the inhumane players, and then muttered to himself:

"Yes, it's the boss!"
