Gamers of the Underworld

“I only heard occasionally, some of the creatures discussing the evil and decadent things. But I’m not very sure,” Yoda said worriedly.

“I understand. I’ll monitor the despicable and decadent citizens closely. Are there any other matters?”

Yoda walked forward and took out a blueprint. He said, “I spent two days to create a draft of the Airship design blueprint. Most of the contents were created while I was in Winterfell, participating in the Airship design. Please take a look.”

Yoda passed the blueprint to Sherlock.

Sherlock took the blueprint and turned it around as he tried to figure it out. Yoda was at the side explaining.

Sherlock’s first reaction was—the blueprint was crude.

Perhaps Sherlock was used to the quality construction blueprints drawn by the gamers, the various detailed “game maps” on the forum, and the excellent large furnace design blueprint.

“It’s not bad. You may go to the Mana Engineering Project Hall and discuss it with the citizens of Eternal Kingdom. To construct a functional Airship, how long will it take?”

“If you’re able to prepare enough Magicians to repair the Airship Magical Core and provide construction assistance, it can be completed in twenty to thirty days,” Yoda said. “It’s not difficult to construct an Airship. The most difficult part is obtaining the Magical Core.”

“Hmm, I understand. I’ll let you handle it. Construct the Airship within the shortest possible time.” Sherlock nodded.

Yoda bowed to Sherlock and left with his blueprint.

Yoda walked towards the Mana Engineering Project Hall in the Industrial Area.

Though it was called the Mana Engineering Project Hall, the site was still being excavated.

There were many gamers who were excavating diligently every day. To a newly developed Dungeon, with that many achievements within a short period of three months, it was a remarkable feat.

When Yoda arrived at the excavation site of the Mana Engineering Project Hall, a group of gamers had gathered.

Yoda thought that being the new Mana Engineering Mentor, those Gnomes, Goblins, and Houndhead Men would stand up as a show of respect when they saw him.

They must be interested in Mana Engineering, just like the apprentices of Simba, who were interested in Blacksmithing.

But Yoda was wrong. The gamers surrounded him and chatted enthusiastically.

“He’s here! The Engineering Mentor NPC is here!”

“Veteran Hemp Rope, what did the mission description tell you?”

“Yes, yes, what did it say?”

While chatting, the gamers gave way, and a Goblin walked out. This Goblin was different from the other armed creatures. He didn’t have any equipment except for the bladders hung from his body.

Wait, bladders?

Yoda was dumbfounded when he saw the Goblin, who said, “This game is too realistic. We did a mission and brought back a Mana Engineering Mentor. Yes, I received a mission saying that you can help us repair the Airship. We have done the preparations. The blueprint is ready.”

The Goblin pointed to the wall behind him.

Yoda felt strange that the behavior, appearance, and voice were exactly the same as the courageous Goblin who had sacrificed himself in the war. He looked at the wall pointed out by the Goblin.

On the wall was a detailed and strange-looking schematic of a huge Airship.

Yoda felt dizzy looking at the various lines and numbers. Though he didn’t understand quite a bit, according to his instinct and professional experience, this was a high-quality design blueprint!

“This… what is this? Who made it?”

Yoda swallowed hard.

“Ah?” Hemp Rope Technology was taken aback. He didn’t expect the NPC to ask such a question.

Yoda said immediately, “No, I’m not able to understand the Airship blueprint. I have to admit that the blueprint is very good and detailed. As for practicality, I have to discuss it with the designer.”

“The designer isn’t here, he’s on the forum,” Hemp Rope Technology said.

“For… Forum?” Yoda didn’t understand what a forum was.

“Veteran, what forum are you talking about with the NPC? This game is about authenticity. NotWearingPants reminded us many times in the Strategy Guide. Let me try!”

The Gnome BurningChestHair walked over and said, “Respectable Master Yoda! This blueprint was created by a faraway… wrong. It was created by a group of creatures. A lot of information is confidential, so it isn’t convenient to tell you. Our Hemp Rope Technology understands the blueprint, so you may discuss it with him.”

“Ah… I see…” Yoda was puzzled, but he roughly understood.

Hemp Rope Technology walked over and held Yoda as he said, “We completed the blueprint and obtained the basic materials, but we don’t have welding tools or spare parts. The mission said… wrong. I heard that your Mana Engineering Skills are able to help us solve these problems. I admire your powerful Mana Skills! I’ll discuss the detailed portions of the Airship. This is the most advanced design using aerodynamics…”

Yoda started discussing the technicalities of the Airship with the gamers…

…

Winterfell Defense Area No. 1.

Numerous Gnomes, Orcs, and Werewolves held different flags as they charged towards the Ancient Gods army, which was like a torrential wave.

After half a month of battle, the Merchant Alliance of Winterfell collaborated with all independent Dungeons to form an Underworld Alliance Army. The Alliance Army had defeated the Ancient Gods army at all Defense Areas except Area No. 1. This Area had the largest portion of the Ancient Gods army. It was also the last Defense Area that had access to the time and space vortex.

Beefballs stood on the command platform, watching the battlefield with a firm gaze. Behind him, a communication troop brought a letter with an order.

Beefballs read the letter, then he put on his armor and raised his Big Axe. He said to his troops, “Let’s go. Before the end of the day, we have to take down Area No. 1! Prepare the troops. Let’s charge!”
