Chapter 106 Isn't it normal to have negative numbers in the game?
As soon as Sherlock released the second beta preview post, it attracted a large number of players to leave messages of support:
[Hanlin Privy Council: This is a game where you can become a great master without spending money or liver. Let’s play together, I’m waiting for you!]
[Yakou Miao: Give me a qualification for the second test, and I will come. 】
[Gui Yaoshun: Are the new servers the result of buying a few pounds of new potatoes? 】
[Zixue Piaohuo: Easy gameplay - moving bricks and moving bricks and working overtime to move bricks, easy difficulty - both masters and novices have to start with zero foundation and are beaten, almost no enthusiasm - you will no longer
A painting style with liver and sunshine - there is no sunshine in the dungeon. Well, real dog planning]
[Abandoned House Pippi Bear: Qualified for the second test, want to see the game warehouse? You can add my WeChat official account~XXXX]
[Mortal Moon: The content above caused strong discomfort and has been blocked.]
[Iron Monkey: I have to defend myself on the day of the first test, so I can’t protect the Eternal Kingdom dungeon right away.]
[Sikong Yibin: You can be an individual planner! If this reputation system is changed like this, it will be even more annoying! Let me knock...wait, do you qualify for the second test? Eternal Kingdom is really fun, not annoying at all]
[Lonely No Regrets: Thank you to the planning boss for the game warehouse. I came here to fulfill my wish. I have already thought about the game ID, so I will call it Dangwu, Mr. Hoe, here I come. 】
[甄禾:w(゜Д゜)w Damn it! That’s the name my best friend wants to give me that day! 】
[Di San Xian Gai Van: Hello everyone, I have qualified for the second test. I am accepting people in a small group. Add QQXXXXX. If you are a brother, come and kill me together. 】

Sherlock read through the information on the forum. Everyone was obviously saying good things about his Eternal Kingdom Dungeon, and they also loved him very much. He felt very happy.
He closed the forum, then opened the official website administrator interface and browsed the information of the selected second test players.
"Gender: female, age: 20, reason for application: I am willing to trade my deskmate's ten years of life in exchange for qualifying for the second test!"
Sherlock looked at an applicant's information on the computer screen, and then clicked on the next one:
"Gender: male, age: 19, reason for application: I have liver cirrhosis."
"Gender: Male, Age: 20, Reason for application: I have no hands."
"Well, it seems that the selected people are quite energetic. I am full of confidence in the future of the eternal kingdom."
Sherlock said this after roughly browsing the application reasons of some applicants who qualified for the second test.
"It is an honor for those players from another world to be able to contribute to Sir Sherlock's ideals. However, Sir Sherlock, if two thousand players log into the dungeon together, considering the current situation in the eternal kingdom, we will face a very serious situation in the short term.
Great pressure, Sir Sherlock, do you still have money?"
Blue asked.
"I even bought the anti-magic cloth with a mortgage loan from the dungeon. Do you think I still have money?" Sherlock spread his hands and continued:
"And more anti-magic cloth is needed later to transport the magic items from the ruins. If you want me to buy some equipment, raw materials, and expand NPC personnel for the second test players, I'm sorry, it's impossible.
."
"Sir Sherlock, I know this request is a bit too much, but without some preparation, if two thousand second test players rush in together, it is likely to cause a collapse. If it is impossible to achieve it due to some practical problems,
I recommend……"
Blue said:
"You can use the method of limiting the number of people online on the server, such as limiting it to 500 people, and then slowly develop and gradually open up..."
"No need." Sherlock said simply:
"Before, you have always said that we should consider the gameplay of the players. If we secretly set an upper limit of 500 people while setting a closed beta of 2,000 people, no matter how attractive my dungeon is,
Due to the power, players from other worlds may also complain, and even large-scale withdrawals may occur.”
"Actually, the situation is not as serious as you think. I believe these players will solve the problems you mentioned on their own. After all, they are so smart that they are willing to risk their lives to protect my 20 million magic stones."
Sherlock seemed quite confident in the players and continued:
"All we need to do is establish order so that they can move bricks with peace of mind and have some gameplay entertainment."
"Speaking of gameplay, currently we only have a spider lair that is about to be cleared by the first test players, an ancient ruin that will be evacuated by the second test players in a few days, and one that can only accommodate 65 people at a time.
Form a copy of [School of the Dead] to challenge the team." Blue said:
"Lord Sherlock, we need new scenes, new dungeons, new enemies, and new gameplay. Otherwise, if we just ask them to move bricks, the players will never be satisfied."
"You don't need to worry too much about this issue. I've already considered it." Sherlock said:
"There are many undeveloped wastelands around the Eternal Kingdom dungeon, and there are various underground creatures wandering in passages and caves. Since the dungeon level has been upgraded to level two, let's include these places within the scope of the dungeon.
, those can become players' playgrounds in the future. Although there are two thousand people, they are all goblins, and they have not received basic training. The speed of sweeping away the underground creatures in those areas may not be able to keep up with those areas.
The speed of replenishment, the game play in a short period of time, and the hunting and entertainment ground for players. This area can be opened after they clear out the ancient ruins, so it is not something to worry about at all."
"Although that is the case, are the underground creatures in those places too strong? There may even be monsters coming out..."
Blue said with some worry.
"Isn't that just right? It can also be used as a plot BOSS, and it can make those players happy for a while." Sherlock clapped his hands and said:
"After updating the reputation system, the reputation of those players who worked hard to move bricks is gradually reduced to a negative number when they die. Without reputation, many things cannot be done. They can only continue to work hard to move bricks, even the rich ones.
, let all employees join the army of moving bricks and form a virtuous cycle.”
"Wait a minute, Master Sherlock is planning to reduce their reputation to a negative number?"
Even Blue was a little surprised now.
"What's wrong? Isn't this normal operation? The "Anno 1800" I play has always been in deficit. Isn't it normal to have negative numbers in the game?" Sherlock emphasized, patting the table.
"When you think about it, there seems to be no problem." Blue thought for a moment and replied.
Just as Sherlock and Blue were discussing the second test, there was a knock on the door. Moros, Simba, Mufasa, and Xueba, four external employees of the Eternal Kingdom, appeared together.
At the door.
"come in."
Sherlock said, and then he saw four people walking in.
Simba said:
"Lord Sherlock, do you have anything to do with us?"
"It's nothing. We have to pay wages at the end of the month. Let's hold a work summary meeting with everyone and look forward to the future of the eternal kingdom." Sherlock motioned for them to sit down, but the four of them were stunned when they looked at the only chair in front of them. Sherlock continued:
"The Eternal Kingdom will expand its manpower in the next two days, and everyone may be a little busier by then. Do you understand what I mean? There's no need for you to speak. I know what you want to ask. You can just go to work as usual. Okay, let's go to work next
Conduct some simple job training, the first one: No matter what the servants in the dungeon say, don’t pay attention to them..."

(Asking for monthly recommendation tickets, first-time readers will come in and report their numbers, and one lucky reader will be randomly selected to enter the second test and become a stupid player)
