Chapter 46: New System
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Lord Sherlock, it’s ti.”
“What? The surface adventurers are arriving? I haven’t finished constructing my treasure vault...”
Sherlock’s fingers clicked quickly, and the computer mouse was moved frantically.
“No, Lord Sherlock, I’m not referring to the ga. It’s ti for the equipnt auction.”
Sherlock was shocked.
“What? A day has passed?”
Sherlock looked at the ti, and Crar’s loot had been exhibited for a day. It was almost twelve in the afternoon and ti for the auction.
Sherlock didn’t expect ti to pass that fast.
The gars gathered outside the Dungeon Core Main Hall to await the start of the auction.
The bid prices wouldn’t be shouted by the gars. Instead, Bru would beco the bidding system and collect the gars’ bids. Within ten minutes, the six loot items would be auctioned simultaneously to the highest bidders. The gars gathered outside the Main Hall to see who was going to win the bids.
The attributes of Crar’s loot were superior to the current Diamond Seam equipnt, and the loot had legendary status and unique designs. It would be impressive to own the loot which could be Soulbound and insured!
The most important factor was that the loot was one of a kind, just like Crar. There wouldn’t be a second Crar in the Underworld.
In this auction, the gars would expend their month’s earnings from doing missions and exchanging for materials. There would be a 30% tax, and the proceeds would be distributed according to individual contributions in defeating Crar.
The contributions of the gars were decided by Bru, and he would reward them accordingly. Hence Sherlock wouldn’t be involved.
With that many chatting gars gathered outside the Main Hall, it was like a noisy market.
Though Mufasa had been in the Dungeon for two days, he still wasn’t used to the insane and incredible gars.
“Cousin, why aren’t they working? Why are they chatting outside the Main Hall? Isn’t Lord Sherlock going to dismiss them?”
Mufasa held a soup ladle while Simba placed so clay in the soup pot. The food would be sold at a high price to the gars after it was prepared.
“Lord Sherlock won’t dismiss them. Chatting while gathering is one of their past tis. Rember, no matter what the Goblins do, don’t be surprised,” Blacksmith Simba said nonchalantly.
Mufasa needed more ti to get used to Eternal Kingdom. anwhile, the auction had reached its climax.
There was only a minute left. The bids for the six items were about two hundred to four hundred bronze coins, and they ca from so unknown gars.
The gars who wanted the items would only bid at the last mont.
When the countdown started, the bids of the six items jumped from hundreds to tens of thousands. Within thirty seconds, the bids of every item breached 20,000 bronze coins and continued to increase by the thousands.
In the last ten seconds, the bids of the items stabilized at around 30,000 bronze coins. In the last three seconds, the bids increased exponentially.
During the process, the gars were shouting excitedly.
“Gosh! It’s breaking records!”
“What’s the deal? A piece of online ga equipnt is being sold for tens of thousands of Renminbi!”
“Did the rich gars accumulate all the ga coins?”
“If it’s that expensive with only a hundred Beta Gars, what’s going to happen when it’s in Open Beta?”
“It’s a windfall. I’m going to set up a workplace to play the ga and earn coins during the Open Beta. I’m not going to work anymore!”
While the gars were chatting, the six items were sold at around 40,000 bronze coins.
The auction results were already known before the auction. In the hundred Beta Gars, only five were contenders—Arthur, NotWearingPants, BurningChestHair, Sylvanas, and Sakuranomiya Cat Demon. They were the richest Beta Gars, and they each obtained an item. The last item, the Breastplate, was bought by Arthur, who spent a total of close to 100,000 bronze coins.
The gars were complaining about the generosity of the rich gars and how they were blinded.
Under the envious gazes of the gars, the rich gars received their bid items. NotWearingPants imdiately shouted, “Who wants Plate Leggings? Renminbi transaction!”
Tens of nearby gars started bidding.
A new auction had started.
Sherlock didn’t bother with NotWearingPants and how he was going to profit from the auction. He didn’t care how rich the gars were in the otherworld. He was pondering practical issues.
The total proceeds were about 60,000 bronze coins, and most of the bronze coins were inscribed with a 100 number, which indicated a worth of 100 bronze coins. The rest were silver coins.
The coins created a small hill in front of Sherlock, giving him a headache. There were only a hundred Goblins, and in less than a month, there were that many coins. In the future, there would be a Second Beta and Third Beta. According to Bru, eight billion gars were waiting.
Not all eight billion gars could co in, as the Dungeon Core’s infrastructure couldn’t cope with the capacity. The Dungeon Core had to level up to recruit more creatures. After adding more creatures, the tal coins usage would increase greatly.
It wasn’t like Sherlock couldn’t afford the tal coins, but he felt it was troubleso. Sherlock was going to use these coins to lure the Surface Adventurers and capture them for Magic Stones. If the gars monopolized the coins, then his plan would be wrecked.
Sherlock looked at his Magic Stone Card and pondered.
“Bru, could you co up with a Banking System?”
“What?” Bru was surprised.
“Like the Magic Stone Card, money could be transferred during a transaction. The Magic Stones could then be withdrawn as required,” Sherlock said. “If the gars carry the coins around, they will suffer great losses if they die. In the future, with tens of thousands of gars, how many coins will I have to prepare?”
“Indeed, if we don’t solve this issue, then we’ll need a large warehouse to store these coins. The gars have already accumulated that much wealth within a month. If the number of gars increases, they will have even more wealth,” Bru said. “Lord Sherlock, though I have a heavy workload, I’ll work overti to create this Banking System. I’ll need more Mana for support.”
Problems that could be solved with Mana weren’t problems. Bru made use of his ti to create the Banking System. The earlier the Banking System was online, the better the gars’ experience. The most important thing was to save money for Sherlock!
The coins for the hundred gars cost him ten Magic Stones. If there were tens of thousands of gars, how much would it cost?
The gars gathered around the rich gars and received the proceeds of the auction. Sherlock used most of his Mana to charge Bru so that he could develop the Banking System.
Sherlock then opened up his computer and muttered, “I’ll play for half an hour...”
...
The ti for the Dungeon Lord Experience Sharing Conference had arrived. Within three days, Sherlock had been called to heal and revive the gars. So gars also wanted to buy private land and beds.
The gars didn’t relax after the auction. To be selected for the hidden mission, they did their missions diligently, hunting Spiders, exchanging materials, and earning Reputation Points. Casualties were unavoidable.
Sherlock was irritated by the interruptions as he was researching the “Dungeon” ga.
Sherlock swore he wanted to find a Revival Magician, but later he decided not to. The salary was an issue, and he had to find a person he trusted. How could he spend the money just to play a ga?
Sherlock was an ambitious Devil Lord. How could he neglect his goal for the ga? What was the ga? He didn’t like it.
“Lord Sherlock, it seems like you conquered the Dungeon. You did it twice?” Bru congratulated Sherlock.
“Hehe, it’s just a ga. Have you selected the servants that will accompany to the conference?” Sherlock sipped his thick tea gracefully and asked.
“They have been selected, Lord Sherlock,” Bru said. The three Goblins were waiting excitedly for Sherlock.
“We can set off now.”
