Gamers of the Underworld Chapter 312 - Lancelot Was Befuddled

Chapter 312: Lancelot Was Befuddled

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Some gamers were focused on game exploration.

As a game with a high degree of freedom and realistic settings, exploration was an important aspect of the game. There was no lack of adventurers amongst the gamers.

Marco Polo was a brave and knowledgeable adventurer.

With the game in the Third Beta Testing, besides new races, Marco Polo was very interested in the new faction in the Surface World, Victoria.

The name exuded a contemporary romantic feel. Compared to the frivolous sounding Eternal Kingdom, Marco Polo preferred Victoria. On the official website, Victoria’s races were all positive and cute. At least, they looked better than the Underworld Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men.

The strength of a race was dependent on the game version, while looks stayed with the character for a lifetime.

Some gamers had differing opinions from Marco Polo. They thought great looking races may not be cool. In fact, strange-looking creatures might look cooler.

With regards to aesthetics, there wouldn’t be any conclusion even after discussing it for a long time.

It wasn’t possible for Marco Polo to switch factions based on looks. Even if he wanted to, he was unable to do so as the faction limit was reached within ten minutes of the Third Beta Testing.

For Marco Polo, as long as he could explore freely, it was the same in the Surface World or in the Underworld.

He was currently in the Marsh Inkspewer Town to prepare for exploration. He bought the required food and checked his equipment, supplies, and the latest map.

Marsh Inkspewer Town wasn’t far from Gate No. 2 of Winterfell. It was quickly developed beside the Marsh Inkspewer Village.

The gamers supported the Marsh Inspewers against the Large Lizards because the Large Lizards didn’t speak, had no intelligence, and bit the gamers. The Marsh Inkspewers, on the other hand, were polite and invited the gamers as guests to their houses. Though they were ugly, the Large Lizards were repulsive as well.

The gamers killed many Large Lizards, to the point that the dead Lizards could circle Eternal Kingdom tens of rounds.

Thus the Marsh Inspewer held the gamers in reverence.

The Marsh Inkspewer Town had become an important aspect of the gamers’ Daily Missions and adventures.

The Marsh Inkspewers helped by providing rides, medicine, maps, and even Marsh Inkspewer Warriors. However, the warriors would shout “Waaaaah!” and flee when there was fighting.

The Marsh Inkspewer Town wasn’t actually the town of the Marsh Inkspewers. To be precise, it was a town built by the gamers next to the Marsh Inkspewer Village.

It was a small town surrounded by a wall made of rocks. Initially, the gamers created the buildings in the Marsh Inkspewer Town so that they could live there. With the relocation of the residents of the old district, they had moved to Winterfell.

The gamers who created the buildings received some remuneration.

The Marsh Inkspewer Town was previously used as a starting point for the adventurer gamers to explore the surroundings. Now, it was home for the residents who migrated from the Winterfell old district.

Chants of reading were heard. The kids from the old district were now able to study eight cla.s.ses every day without any fear. They revised their homework at night and finished tens of sheets of examination paper daily. They also took examinations periodically. There were no holidays for them.

The Underworld kids were now able to study properly. They were moved to tears of joy and bliss.

Marco Polo was their teacher once and taught several cla.s.ses. He created tons of homework and experienced the joy of torturing the students. He admitted that it was a comfortable feeling.

Though the NPCs from Winterfell occupied the houses built by the gamers, they brought with them many missions.

For example:

Helping to do housework for a month.

Helping to take care of kids.

Helping families to clear their clogged water pipes.

Helping them build a tunnel from Eternal Kingdom to their town.

Though there weren’t many Magic Stones to be earned, they provided necessities, food, and valuable information as rewards. The gamers were happy to complete the missions because there could be Hidden Strange Encounter Missions along the way.

Marco Polo completed a lot of these missions, so he was very close to the residents. He was embarking on an expedition because he heard the news about the Surface World.

“Ah? Victoria Freedom Town? I’m not sure about that. We’ve only heard about the Surface World in legends.”

“The Surface World is full of evil. Eternal Kingdom is very close to the Surface World. I think you can reach the Surface World after a day and a night of traveling.”

“Yes, that’s the path to the Surface World. However, I’m not very sure. Perhaps you can check with Lord Sherlock?”

Marco Polo went to look for Lord Sherlock.

“Lord Sherlock isn’t receiving any guests. If you have questions, keep them to yourself.” Eggface was the one who received Marco Polo. After that, Eggface returned back to the Dungeon Lord Main Hall as if he had urgent work.

Marco Polo didn’t intend to wait. He wanted to be the first gamer to find the Surface World!

This would be a great adventure, an encounter of Eternal Kingdom and Victoria!

Marco Polo set off with his backpack and his great ambitions.

In the Freedom Town Victoria, Lancelot was befuddled.
