Gamers of the Underworld Chapter 218 - A Gamer Who Sneaked Into Winterfell

"Lord Sherlock, are you promoting your products via the Merchant Alliance?"

Nicholas thought for a while and said, "I can try applying for you, but there's no precedence."

"I understand. Let's put this matter aside. When the product is finalized, we can discuss it in detail. The Northern Gladiator Arena is one of the investors and will be involved in the detailed discussion. Let's discuss trading."

Sherlock took out the map of a Large Furnace and placed it on the table as he said to Nicholas, "I am constructing a Large Furnace to create superior equipment for sale. I hope Baron can help me arrange for the import of raw materials and the sale of the equipment. Then I won't have to look for another merchant."

"No problem. There is a lot of demand on the Merchant Alliance's side. You may count on me for the sale of your equipment."

Besides the equipment, Sherlock and Nicholas discussed the remuneration. Nicholas stated that it was an honor for him to be solely in charge of Eternal Kingdom's equipment. How could he earn a commission from it? Besides payment for transportation and miscellaneous costs, Nicholas wouldn't accept other payment.

To Nicholas, he had confirmed that Sherlock must be at least a cousin or son of Satan. Otherwise, how could Sherlock be so awesome? Eternal Kingdom was a Level 3 Dungeon with a Large Furnace and a Mana Area in construction. After many battles, Eternal Kingdom was still crowded with servants.

Nicholas was still curious about these recruited Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men.

Sherlock was moved, and he said to Nicholas, "I understand Baron's intention, but I won't let you take a loss. If Baron won't accept Magic Stones, then I'll compensate you by providing labor. If you need labor to create your products, equipment, or houses, just inform me. I have a pool of skilled and diligent workers."

Sherlock raised his hand to interrupt Nicholas, who was about to speak.

"Baron Lassie, I know what you want to say. You won't need to pay for the labor costs, nor their food and lodging. I'll foot the bills. Don't think that it's a huge sum, as I'll need your help in the future. You deserve to have the benefits."

"Lord Sherlock, this… how can I impose on you and let you spend money?"

Nicholas was moved. Sherlock saw his expression and patted the table as he said, "It's what I should do. If you need to produce large amounts of merchandise, just inform me. I'll arrange the labor for you and give you a 20% discount for the labor costs. You can pay using Magic Stones or in raw materials."

Nicholas intended to stay in Eternal Kingdom for three days and sell some merchandise, which consisted of some equipment and Magical Items. Nicholas provided a list of goods for sale. He wasn't required to barter for raw materials this time.

Raw materials were precious to Sherlock since the gamers required them for equipment improvement. As the demand was high, he wouldn't trade them with Nicholas.

What was going to happen? Were the gamers going to use Magic Stones? But the gamers didn't have Magic Stones.

Sherlock bought some Magical Items that weren't available in Eternal Kingdom from the list.

As Sherlock was about to pay for his citizens, Nicholas was moved and stopped Sherlock.

"Lord Sherlock, I'm moved by your kindness to your citizens. You're a good role model. I can't let you pay as you'll be making a loss. I'll let your citizens pay using their labor. Why don't we test this method now? As you know, I'm dealing mainly with female accessories. My business is good, but Winterfell is without a Dungeon Core, and my factory has lost its energy source and is unable to produce anything…"

"So, you intend to manufacture your merchandise in my Dungeon? No problem. It's a good chance to test it out. Baron, you'll provide the raw materials while I provide the labor. We'll waive all the Magic Stone charges as it will hurt our relationship."

Sherlock waved his hand and gave his promise.

The two of them were happy and decided to establish their collaboration with a contract.

Nicholas brought his Merchant Band band into Eternal Kingdom to unload his goods, then he left immediately for Winterfell to retrieve his raw materials.

Sherlock obtained Nicholas' goods and a contract for labor. He felt happy since he could squeeze more work from the gamers.

He intended to edit a new update to encourage the gamers to work harder and build a better Eternal Kingdom. It was then that he noticed a post on the forum. He narrowed his eyes and started reading it carefully.

The post was: [Sneaking in was successful. I have sneaked into Winterfell!]. The creator of the post was Marco Polo.

"By chance, we used a loophole left after the Winterfell Battle Campaign to sneak into Winterfell and stayed behind. We weren't brought back to Eternal Kingdom by the Plot.

How could we stay in Winterfell? After the war ended, most of the gamers were taken back by the Airship. The gamers who stayed back were pronounced dead and revived in the Eternal Kingdom.

But the decision by the game system was made while you were online. At that time, I had an urgent matter to deal with, so I went offline at the critical point of the war!

After a few days, I discovered my character was still in Winterfell!

I didn't create any posts or divulge this matter because I know that the lousy game producer is stalking the forum.

But I cannot stand it any longer. The main point is that I am unable to have proper meals in Winterfell!

I encountered never before seen game content! These are the things that will be released at a future date. I just managed to experience them via a loophole.

I was hiding in an alley when I went offline. When I was online again, I was moved to another alley. Even my equipment was missing. I suspect that it was a game BUG.

The first thing I did was look for food, as if I took in a large amount of clay, I would die of food poisoning. It wasn't easy for me to stay in Winterfell, so I couldn't just die off like that!

After recalling the game's highly intelligent AI, I tested a common way of gameplay—begging the NPCs!

I managed to fill my stomach by begging, so this is a viable gameplay method.

Besides begging, I discovered other methods.

There were many job opportunities in Winterfell. Gamers can work for NPCs! For example, within these few days, I sold newspapers, helped in the construction of a house at a construction site, and did odd jobs at a restaurant.

Initially, I was unaware of my nonsense and was dismissed.

Then I realized that I had to be immersive in the game. I couldn't spout nonsense to NPCs. I disguised myself as an NPC and played accordingly. I was successful.

Currently, I'm employed as a Blacksmith apprentice. I'm starting work tomorrow, so I'm a little excited.

In the future, the game may open up a channel for topping up our accounts, because I discovered the game's second currency!

The NPC's currency—Magic Stones!

I discovered I was unable to use my coins in Winterfell. Perhaps it's due to the incomplete development of the game system, but all the NPCs that I encountered were using the Magic Stone cards, which are similar to bank cards, for their transactions.

In the future, we can use Magic Stones to do transactions with NPCs.

The equipment in Winterfell is excellent! In the Blacksmith Shop that I'm working at, though I'm unable to bring the equipment back for appraisal, according to my observations, they are Purple Legendary equipment. They aren't inferior to Arthur's equipment. In fact, many of them are superior to Arthur's equipment.

I also encountered various Underworld creatures such as Werewolves, Giants, Hades Horses, Lizard Men, Hell Hounds, and Slimes. They could be released in the game in the future.

There are various strange professions like Diviner, Enchanter, Magical Items Craftsman, Door Guard, Garrison Guard, Barber, Hairstylist, and Pet Caretaker. The most important thing is that you have a chance to be employed if you are capable.

According to our situation, if we go to the construction site to carry bricks, earning Magic Stones isn't a problem.

This is like a second reality! This is a Sword and Magic World!

The development team is awesome! I'm impressed by the massive amount of content.

I'll show some pictures of Winterfell after the war and group photos of the Winterfell inhabitants and I. Then you won't say that I'm bluffing.

This is a picture of me at work:

Remember, I am Marco Polo!"
