Gamers of the Underworld Chapter 222 - Version 0.23 Update Log

When the sun rose up during dawn, the Underworld was shrouded in darkness. The hardworking Eggface had walked out from his nest.

As a Black Dragon, he had a strict biological clock.

The time was 7:30 am. He played the rolling Undead game for the entire night, but that didn’t affect his rest. Even if he had dark rings around his eyes, that wasn’t a problem as he was a Black Dragon.

When Eggface saw the Airs.h.i.+p coming back, he immediately shut down the computer and left the Dungeon Lord Main Hall.

After Eggface had awakened, he went to wash up. Then he started his work as a secretary.

A few Gnomes had set up a huge cauldron of boiling water to let Eggface have a comfortable bath.

Then a few Gnomes and Houndhead Men gave Eggface a full body ma.s.sage. A few Goblins begged and pleaded with Eggface to give them a chance for a Houndhead Man reincarnation.

The unfeeling Eggface rejected all requests as the Goblins were unwilling to kneel down and call him Master. They didn’t deserve to be reincarnated.

After a comfortable bath, Eggface took his briefcase and checked his notebook. There was no entry for today, so Eggface was relieved.

He received various wors.h.i.+ps from Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men while he walked along.

“Father Eggface! Give me a hidden mission!”

“Just a Houndhead Man reincarnation chance! Please! Lord Eggface!”

“Ah! The King of Darkness! I need your power…”

What kind of a Dragon was Eggface? He was the King of Dark Flames, the Master of Darkness. The highest breed of Dragon. How could they expect to be Eggface’s closest servants with their naivety?

It wasn’t possible. With their capabilities, they were only suitable to be laborers!

Eggface had arrived at the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. He opened the door and saw Sherlock typing furiously on the keyboard. He must be browsing the discussion forum.

Eggface wasn’t interested in the discussion forum. He put the briefcase on the table and brewed a cup of b.l.o.o.d.y chrysanthemum tea that he finished in a gulp. Then he started his work as a secretary.

Eggface paced around the room and found a suitable corner, sitting down with his two front paws supporting the ground. Then, he slowly sprawled on the ground.

It was time to work.

…

Sherlock heard Eggface snore, and his typing crawled to a halt.

“What time did Eggface play until last night?”

“Let me check…” Bru became silent before he said, “Thirty minutes before you came.”

“Tsk.”

“Lord Sherlock, that Fallen Angel last night…” Bru was puzzled, but he was interrupted by Sherlock.

“It was after my compulsory education. She was my 70 years cla.s.smate from higher education,” Sherlock said without lifting his head.

“My initial capital for the Dungeon was sponsored by her. She’s considered my investor.”

“Investor? Sponsored?” Bru raised the tone of his voice.

“I agreed to her conditions if she gave me a sum of money. Then, I have to give her some benefits according to the conditions,” Sherlock said without emotion.

“From what I understand, it’s a loan.”

“No, no, no. There’s interest to be paid per month for a loan, but I don’t have to pay interest. If I meet her conditions, I won’t need to pay interest,” Sherlock corrected Bru.

“That’s obtaining a loan by providing a nude picture of yourself,” Bru said confidently.

“I can understand from the Fallen Angel’s att.i.tude of ‘I cannot do without you’ how the process of getting back her loan could be rather intense.”

“It’s not appropriate to describe that as intense.” Sherlock frowned and said, “We had a happy negotiation, and I told her of the use of the loan. That’s all.”

“I see.” Bru said thoughtfully, “I was bought using the money from the Fallen Angel, a loan from your cla.s.smate. She tried to find you to get back her loan. Are the three Hamsters her debt collectors? Tsk, tsk, I thought they looked cute. I didn’t expect them to have such a horrifying background. Can I believe what you have said?”

“Since when have I lied to you?” Sherlock nodded and said confidently.

“How are you going to settle it? The creditor has found you. I don’t think you can send her packing with a few words.” Bru asked again, “She has her name figured out. It seems like she’s going to stay here for a long time. What’s your plan? Are you going to sell me to repay the loan?”

“Of course not. I said it before, she gave me money to invest. Though I’m not prepared, I can bring her to see the result of her investment. Moreover, she’s the largest investor for Eternal Kingdom.”

Sherlock had completed his update content. Bru said, “Lord Sherlock, what did she ask you to invest in? I don’t think she asked you to invest in the Dungeon.”

“I’m just honoring what I said to her before… a story.” Sherlock looked as though he recalled something interesting. “Stepping on the supremacy and divine rights of all nations. Yes, that’s it.”

“Wah, your expression with the dialog was just slightly inferior to ‘cool, cooler, coolest!’. I thought you were just humoring me, but after speaking to you, I’m feeling happy. It seems like the Lilo Fallen Angel is the victim… I mean, she’s one of your better golden geese.”

Bru said excitedly, “I’m in awe of Lord Sherlock’s ambition. I initially thought that you intended to conquer the entire Underworld. Actually, you’re going for the supremacy and divine rights of all nations. I’m excited by the thought. Except for Satan, who fell from the Heavens with a third of the stars, n.o.body ever did that. No, no, not even Satan, he was badly beaten up. The closest superior Devil was that Michelangelo, but it’s a pity that great person also failed in conquering the Heavenly Kingdom.”

“I’m excited to follow such an ambitious superior Devil like you. Are we going to attack the Heavenly Kingdom? Shall we start from conquering Winterfell?”

Bru was muttering about his chaotic plans for conquest, but Sherlock ignored his blabbering. Sherlock was checking the contents of his update announcement carefully. After confirming there were no mistakes, he published it.
