When Sherlock arranged the excavation plan of the Eternal Kingdom, he took the core hall of the dungeon as the end point, facing downwards, that is, to the south, with area blocks one by one, and connected roads, and facing the core hall
In the direction, a straight avenue of nearly two hundred meters wide was left as the central passage.
Although the current two-hundred-meter-wide passage is more suitable to be called a square than a central passage, because the length is not even one hundred meters.
There's no way, it's only been a month, and although there are players from another world working around the clock, mining, transporting soil ore, leveling the land and walls, etc., Sherlock's priority is to dig out functional rooms.
, or area block.
For example, in food warehouses, sundries warehouses, nurseries, carpenters' houses, training squares, and players' residential areas, etc.
Behind the core hall of the underground city, it can naturally be developed, and there are also entrances and exits connecting the corridors to the outside world.
But developing a dungeon is not a matter of digging here and there with your eyes closed, at least Sherlock is not like this.
His goal is to become the greatest demon king in history and build the greatest dungeon.
At least it is necessary to build a place that can accommodate tens of millions of underground creatures, integrate the wealth and prestige of the entire underground world, and become the center of the entire underground world!
Proper planning of the underground city is very important.
Although the player residential area planned by Sherlock was originally for the players to live in, if Sherlock originally planned to give them a small pigeon cage-like room, which can accommodate a bed and a place to store personal belongings
A small box is almost enough, otherwise what else do these players want to do?
Combine private areas to build a large villa? After they get it, they also want all kinds of decorations, furniture, gorgeous doors, independent gardens, open-air balconies, and a swimming pool?!
"I can understand Sir Sherlock's concerns. If the players' actions are not restricted, they will probably build illegal buildings at will, which may have an impact on the future development of the dungeon." When Sherlock was on his way to the residential area.
, Blue said from the side:
"But these players are like this. They can accept the extremely poor working environment and welfare benefits, but they are extremely paranoid about the house. The bigger the better, with all kinds of decorations, furniture, and gorgeous doors.
Independent gardens, open-air balconies, and a swimming pool. If this is the case, it is better to follow the trend and allow them to merge their private territories together and build large houses or even high-rise buildings that meet their inner needs. For Lord Sherlock,
There is no loss and it can meet the needs of these players."
"That's what I say...but building the house like this is a bit too much, right?"
While talking to Blue, Sherlock had already walked to the residential area, and when he saw the planned appearance of the house in front of him, his mood became a little beyond words.
The originally planned living area for Sherlock was a 200-square-meter open space with wide passages around it. However, now a wall has been built around the outer circle of the open space. Inside the wall, dozens of people are lying in random directions.
The goblin was sleeping peacefully and had no reaction to Sherlock's arrival.
What Sherlock thinks is too much is not the sleeping posture or the walls of this group of goblins, but the construction drawings drawn in stone on the wall outside the living area, covering the entire wall.
On the construction drawing, there is a three-view building, plus many plan drawings. The drawing is very technical, and the length of each line is even marked, and a part of the wall is marked with thickened lines.
When you come out, the words "load-bearing wall" are written on the side.
The shape of the building drawn in this drawing is as if a two-hundred-square-meter open space is used as a one-story building, and then develops upward. Overall, it is similar to an inverted [convex]-shaped building. The protruding floor is the design
Embedded in the walls on both sides, the air portion of the ten or so meters of road that Sherlock had left vacant was also occupied.
Under the one-story building of 200 square meters, a basement is planned. The basement is very exaggerated. It is a similar "convex" building pattern. The protruding part is several times the size of the first floor.
Just imagine, this is the construction plan of two buildings, one positive and one negative, superimposed, including a superstructure and an underground building, and the two buildings are connected by the middle floor.
To put it metaphorically, it is similar to an upside-down barbell.
At the top of the entire drawing, there are a few big words "Dream" written, and below it are a lot of signatures written in stone, all of which are the names of the players.
Although only the outer walls are piled up now, chisels, handleless hammers, mining picks, and spider silk twisted into threads are neatly placed around the edges to help small tools made of stone, and other
There are all kinds of large and small tools made from stones, grass roots, ores, and other random things.
Obviously, these 100 first-test players are serious!
"There are civil engineering students among these guys, so they have something! These drawings are very professional!"
Blue didn't know why he sighed like this.
"Why are the chisels and handleless hammers used for their tasks here?" Sherlock asked with a frown.
Sherlock remembered that these chisels and handleless hammers were given to them as mission items and were not used yet. The players had to return these things after completing the mission.
But from the current situation, it is obvious that these players not only use these tools to complete tasks, but also use them as tools to build their own houses.
"Let me check the server data and investigate the historical data..." Blue also looked confused, and then started to work. About ten seconds later, Blue reported:
"After receiving the mission, some players deliberately failed to complete the mission, and then used these mission items as tools for building houses. Gee, these terrifying erect apes can really take advantage of the loopholes."
Blue sounded like he was praising these players very much, but from Sherlock's point of view, he definitely hoped that these players could be managed more easily and not take advantage of such loopholes. It would be better not to build any good-looking houses.
, first build the Eternal Kingdom dungeon, wouldn’t it be nice to have a pigeon nest!
Sherlock thought for a while and felt that it was necessary to make some reforms to the mission mechanism, and said to Blue:
"Bru, recycle all these chisels, mining picks, hammers and other tools. Leave the players' homemade tools in place and ignore them. All existing tasks will be reset. After the update, a condition will be added to the construction tasks. All
The tasks are coupled with online time restrictions. If the task is not completed within the stipulated online time, the task reward will be halved. If more than twice the stipulated online time has not been completed, the reputation will be deducted. If you voluntarily give up the construction task, the reward will be deducted.
prestige."
"If the mechanism is changed like this, will the burden on those players increase? Sir Sherlock must also understand their desire to build their own nest..."
Bruce thought for a moment and asked with some worry.
"I haven't finished talking yet. In addition, we have added a tool rental service. You can rent tools from the blacksmith Simba on a weekly basis. It costs reputation and currency. Each person is limited to renting one set." Sherlock continued:
"In this way, we can ensure that those players do not take advantage of the posted construction tasks but do not complete them. They use the tools to repair their own houses without paying any price and occupy my precious resources. I am not an unreasonable player.
If you really want to repair your own house, you should work hard first. After accumulating reputation and currency, you can then spend reputation and currency to rent tools from me, and then continue working to earn reputation and currency.
Currency circulates over and over again, forming a virtuous cycle!”
"Lord Sherlock, what about the merging of private territories by these players? Do you want to force the change?"
Blue asked.
"No, since they want to build a big house so much, let them do whatever they want. But this kind of protruding building will not work. It will hinder the beauty of my underground city. High-rise buildings on the ground will not work, and underground basements will not work. I really don't think so.
If it is covered, there will be additional charges based on the number of floors. The area and shape must be within the area and shape of the foundation. For the time being, it is limited to a maximum of three floors above and below ground. This is treated as another patch and I will release it later."
Sherlock finished speaking categorically, and then waved his hand at the wall with drawings everywhere. On the original drawings, there were a few more words - [Work hard].
Looking at the words "hard work" next to the word "dream" on the entire wall, Sherlock sighed:
"Of course, if you really want to build a large private villa, you can wait until the underground city is developed. As long as the reputation is in place and the money is in place, everything will be easy! Not to mention repairing a barbell, just repairing a beetle
I don’t have any problem with the beast-shaped house coming out, as long as the liver is in place!”
"Hey, I am so generous, just, and compassionate. I am really a shame to the devil!"
