  The Eternal Kingdom outpost at the Sighing Wilderness……

  “This is difficult!”


  BurningChestHair looked at the conditions for challenging the Ogre Fortress Instance Dungeon and immediately shouted, “One has to have Reputation Level 8 and Weapon Level 6. I think there are at most 50 gamers in Eternal Kingdom who qualify! And there will be none in Victoria City!”


  “That’s great! We’ll increase the distance so that we can bully gamers of Victoria City even more!” Peasant said happily.

  “We can still bully them now, but in the future, it won’t be possible. Study the forum, and you’ll understand. There is no Magic Stone system in Victoria City, and the equipment pricing is cheaper and quality higher. It costs us an arm and a leg to obtain Blue Superior Equipment, but the prices in Victoria City are half of ours, and the Reputation Level requirements are one level down. Some of their gamers have even already obtained Legendary Equipment that’s on par with Arthur’s.”


  Sylvanas immediately said, “So what? Their combat techniques are far inferior. Not to mention, we have Arthur on our side.”


  “They have Dragonborn on their side.”


  Sylvanas waved her fists at BurningChestHair and hissed, saying, “What did you say? Can Dragonborn be compared to Arthur? Stop joking!”


  “Dragonborn’s equipment is inferior to Arthur’s, but if he has quality equipment……”


  Sylvanas strangled Peasant’s throat like a python.

  “I’m dying, I’m dying! Release your hands!”


  The gamers quickly came to Peasant’s aid. As for Arthur, he remained emotionless and silent……

  In the Eternal Kingdom seedbed, the Little Fairy was in her treehouse, teaching Raintea how to make Magic Potions.

  “Look carefully. I’ll add some yellow medicine and stir evenly before pouring it out……”


  Raintea imitated the Little Fairy’s action. Some of the raw materials were provided by Sherlock, while the majority were cultivated by Raintea herself.

  “Pom!”


  Raintea noticed black smoke coming from the Magic Potion vial and was shocked. The Little Fairy nodded and looked pleased. Then, she became disdainful and hugged her arms as she said, “Humph! You’ve only just started learning how to make Magic Potions, but you are way better than those dumb Houndhead Men and Goblins!”


  “Ah…… thank you, Teacher!”


  Raintea was extremely happy.

  “Don’t be too happy. The side effects of the Magic Potion are significant. Though it can heal most non-fatal wounds, I wouldn’t take it unless I was left with no choice. After all, the Magic Potion will reduce one’s lifespan!”


  The Little Fairy warned about the side effects, but to the gamers, the side effects were negligible.

  The reduction of lifespan had no bearing on the gamers since they couldn’t live very long.

  Raintea obtained the first vial of Magic Potion. She could have become a life connoisseur gamer and been content. Now, she could produce Magic Potions, and she was excited.

  As it was too tedious and difficult to produce Magic Potions, only Raintea was able to do so. She became the first gamer to produce a Healing Potion.

  The system gave this Healing Potion a description:

  [Name: Minor Healing Potion

  Description: Will heal non-fatal wounds in a short time.

  Effects: Recovers 10% of health within a minute. Not to be used within ten minutes of a previous application.

  Tips: Consecutive uses of 50 times or more can lead to death.

  Selling price: 100 Reputation Points, 100 bronze coins.]

  Even Victoria City had started to produce Minor Healing Potions. Within a few days, the price of Minor Healing Potions would skyrocket.

  Sherlock’s target wasn’t the Minor Healing Potion, as it wasn’t profitable due to the damaging side effects. His targets were Advanced Potions, which were worth even more!

  With the advent of the Minor Healing Potion, large scale production was added to the factory schedule……

  In a room with a burning torch, a tall Ogre with glimmering yellow eyes swung his huge Mace at the surrounding Gnomes who were wielding Large Shields.

  A Black Armored Gnome charged forward while wielding a shimmering Black Longsword that indicated quality equipment. The Gnome was agile. He rolled and evaded the Ogre’s fist, then stabbed deeply into the Ogre’s stomach. The Sword only went halfway in before it was stopped by the Ogre’s muscles. The Ogre grabbed the Gnome and slammed him to the ground with a large “Pom!”


  “How dare you treat Arthur like that! Death to you!”


  An ugly female Gnome readied her Bow and fired three consecutive arrows, two of which hit the Ogre at non-critical spots. If an arrow didn’t hit a critical spot, the damage was limited. As for the third arrow, it hit NotWearingPants’ kidney. He broke the arrow and said in an aggrieved tone, “The Ogre is the one beating up Arthur Bro, so why did you shoot at me? He’s a BOSS. Why are you angry with a BOSS? Are you being silly?”


  “Why are you nagging at me? Inflict damage on the Ogre!” Sylvanas shouted loudly.

  While the Ogre was distracted by the two of them, an agile Gnome rolled on the ground behind him and attacked with his Daggers.

  “Horizontal slash! Berserker strike! Horizontal slash! Berserker strike! Chain attacks!”


  A Mace smashed down violently, and BurningChestHair became quiet.

  After the deaths of Arthur and BurningChestHair, the combat power of the team was reduced to half. Though the Ogre was seriously wounded, it would still take some time before it collapsed to the ground. To defeat the Ogre, the current amount of damage wasn’t sufficient.

  Before long, the five-member team was annihilated, and they appeared at the Revival Point of the Sighing Wilderness.

  “This is too difficult. We challenged the Instance Dungeon three times, but we failed……”


  Peasant knelt on the ground in despair. All his equipment was lost in the Instance Dungeon, and he could only spend Reputation Points and game currency to purchase new equipment after a few hours.

  They felt cheated after losing their equipment and having to pay to redeem it. However, they had gotten used to it.

  How did the equipment in the Instance Dungeon appear in Eternal Kingdom? According to gamers on the forum, they received missions to retrieve the equipment in the Instance Dungeon. Then, they sent it back to Eternal Kingdom.

  The gamers had to do everything themselves, including retrieving equipment, redeeming it, and building houses for NPCs.

  “Why don’t we buy some Healing Potions before challenging the Ogres?” BurningChestHair suggested.

  “The price is too high. Let’s wait for a few days for the factory update. After that, the price will be more affordable,” NotWearingPants said.

  “What factory?”


  Arthur was the only one whose equipment was intact.

  All of his equipment was of Legendary quality and was Soulbound. After his death, the equipment would be transported to his designated location, so he didn’t have to worry about losing his equipment.

  Of course, the equipment damage BUG would still occur. Due to the Legendary quality, it was almost impossible for it to be damaged beyond repair. However, the equipment would still be damaged occasionally, and the repair fees were high.

  “A new mission came out today, one to do construction at the side of the marshes of the Marsh Inkspewers. A lot of people received the Daily Mission to construct the factory. Don’t you do Daily Missions?” NotWearingPants asked.

  “Wait a moment, that mission is about constructing a factory? What’s up with that? Is it like the Winterfell factory that makes us work daily?”

  Peasant was taken aback. He then shouted, “Wah! This game is inhumane! We’re constructing factories for them to exploit us. I’ll complain once customer service is online!”


  “Don’t talk about customer service. I’ve been queued up for three days, and it’s still not my turn yet. I want to chat with the Black Dragon Lady too.”


  BurningChestHair was showing disdain. They started chatting enthusiastically about the “Black Dragon Lady”.
