[The servers will be shutting down in 30 seconds. To prevent loss of items, all online gamers are to get offline immediately.]

When the last full-service announcement was made, all gamers had gone offline.

Brainiac looked at the quiet Eternal Kingdom and wrote in his journal.

Simba, Mufasa, and Moroes stopped work. They were in Simba’s house, chatting, drinking tea, and smoking metal sticks.

Beast and Yoda were closer to each other as they were once part of the Merchant Alliance.

After the Winterfell incidents and with the help and assistance of Sherlock, Winterfell dismissed Evelynn’s arrest warrant.

Sherlock encouraged her to find a new job and start fresh, but there was no progress. Evelynn would say, “It’s not easy to find a job. Though I’m embarrassed, I hope to impose on you for a few days. I’ll work hard for Lord Sherlock!”

Sherlock wouldn’t decline her request.

The real situation was that, due to some reasons, Evelynn didn’t apply for jobs seriously. Even if she sent out her resumes and was successful, she would give all sorts of reasons to decline. Sherlock could only encourage her. What else could he say? It was best to just smile.

The gamers were all offline. Evelynn, who had been busy working, was able to take a rest. She was shopping and touring in Winterfell.

The news of the large recruitment of servants was released to them, so everyone was enjoying their leisure time. They were going to face five times the number of gamers very soon.

“Lord Sherlock, all preparations are completed. The servers are disconnected from the internet. All gamers have returned to the Dungeon. Nobody requested for a change of faction. This proves that your Dungeon management is successful. They welcome your style of management!”

Bru was fawning over Sherlock, inflating his ego.

“The servers will restart in one hour as according to plan. Allocate the gamers to their factions.”

Bru said immediately, “Don’t worry, Lord Sherlock, I made all of the arrangements. Miss Lilo has completed her preparations, and we are connected via Mana. I will be using Miss Lilo’s Mana for all Mana usage on the Surface World.”

Sherlock nodded and browsed through the queries of the gamers.

…

In a bright and spacious room, the furnishings were luxurious, like a palace.

Four round pillars that were seven to eight meters high were the support pillars of the room.

A gaming capsule was placed in the middle of the room, and two rows of servants stood by the side.

The gaming capsule flashed with green light before the door opened gradually. A bit of mysterious fluid seeped out of the capsule, but most of it flowed back into the device.

A 1.8-meter tall young and handsome lad walked out. He had defined muscles and wore a tight-fitting T-shirt and shorts. The female servants behind him watched with glittering eyes.

Two servants walked forward to help him remove his shirt and pants. Then, a servant took a towel and wiped him clean before helping him change into a new set of clothing.

The young lad walked out of the huge room, where a bald butler was already waiting for him. When he saw him, he walked towards the young lad and said, “Young Master Ma, this is your match for your blind date. The time is 6pm…”

“I’m not going. Alert me in forty minutes. The game is undergoing maintenance for an hour. I don’t want to be denied access because the server is full,” the young lad said without hesitation.

“But Young Master, this match is the nephew of your dad’s business partner. If you decline…”

The young lad thought for a while and said, “Then arrange a match that has a similar build to mine and who looks like me. The previous one is pretty good. Arrange for a location later in the night. The rest is up to you.”

“I understand, Young Master.”

The butler saw the determined attitude of his young master and kept quiet. He bowed and walked to the side.

Another middle-aged man walked up and whispered in the lad’s ear. The young lad nodded and boarded the indoor car with the man. They left in the car. The female servants and the bald butler bowed until the young master disappeared from view.

The young lad and the middle-aged man drove the indoor car for a few minutes before they arrived at an al fresco glass room. There were two strong white men who were dressed like special agents and equipped with ear mics standing outside. They bowed at the young lad, and one of the white men positioned his eyeball for a retina scan device placed by the door.

After confirming his identity, the door of the huge room opened.

The young lad followed the middle-aged man into the glass room.

Outside the glass window was a scenic view of the azure ocean. There were seagulls and a lighthouse at the end. The sea and the sky melded together and created a beautiful picture.

The young lad didn’t even take a look. He found a place to sit down and received a document docket from the middle-age man. He opened the docket and examined the contents.

“We investigated for some time. This ‘Dungeon’ game doesn’t have any employees. Even the factory for producing the gaming capsules can’t be found. We have investigated all possible hi-tech companies, but it’s as though the game company just appeared out of thin air. There’s no information at all.”

“I understand. What about that matter?”

The young lad returned the docket to the middle-aged man, who nodded. He passed a new document docket to the young lad and said, “The information on the person that you wanted to investigate is inside the docket.”

The young man opened up the docket and took out the first sheet of paper. On it was the picture of an average-looking young girl, who was smiling shyly.

“We found her online information according to your instructions. We didn’t contact her in person.”

The young lad nodded and looked at the time before standing up.

“I’m going now. I’m going back to the gaming capsule to browse the discussion forum.”
