The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe

Chapter 131: Scene Unlocked


On the second underground level, when encountering slaves who are weak or severely injured and unable to move easily, Tina would arrange for Merfolk or their healthy relatives to transport them to the resting area near the exit to wait.

The healthy slaves followed them, helping to spread the word about Mage Fang Ka.

There aren't many goblins on the entire second underground level. After the last Middle Tier Goblin Knight died, the remaining ones couldn't even last a single confrontation with the players.

Most of the time was spent gathering the slaves on the second level.

Following Fang Ka's instructions, all these slaves from the second underground level would move to live on the first underground level in the future.

As for the second underground level, Fang Ka plans to keep it to sell to players, who would then buy the land and renovate it themselves.

In Fang Ka's plan, the original island serves as a transitional Newbie Village.

And this Underground City acts as the first transfer station.

At this time, Tina led the players and gathered healthy slaves to the exit, then arranged for some Merfolk to accompany those weak and severely injured slaves to rest here.

Once she cleared the third underground level with the players and the relatively healthy slaves, she would lead these slaves to the first underground level.

Then they could be assigned accommodations.

The third underground level is twice the size of the two levels above it and is the location of the Magic Crystal Vein, the source of all resources in this Underground City.

As a goblin, Sonam possesses a lot of technologies of the Underground City, and there are many cultivation, farming, and steel forging factories combining magic and alchemy on the third underground level... quite comprehensive.

There's even a lake here.

The source of the lake is a High Tier Water Magic Array Carrier, an object from a merchant ship brought here by Sonam.

This High Tier Water Magic Array is called 'Water Source Conversion,' and it's not for attack or defense but is auxiliary.

Its sole function is to quickly convert seawater into drinkable freshwater.

It was created by a mage who traveled at sea many centuries ago.

Many merchant teams routinely kept many such Water Magic Array Carriers because this way, the ships didn't need to carry large supplies of freshwater resources.

It solved the problem of taking up ship capacity, freeing up much space for cargo.

In Sonam's merchant fleet, each ship has such a Water Magic Array Carrier.

These goblins and slaves have lived in this Underground City for so many years that they have already perfected all kinds of living facilities, leaving no worries in this regard.

The main supervisor of the third underground level is a Low Tier Goblin Knight, while the assisting sub-supervisors are just ordinary goblins.

When Tina and her people arrived at the Magic Crystal Vein excavation site, these supervisors were whipping the slaves to extract the ore.

The players rushed forward and effortlessly dealt with these goblin supervisors, and the next step was propaganda.

With the slaves that followed along, Tina and others didn't even need to speak; they exaggerated Tina's words several times over, almost deifying Fang Ka.

When these slaves heard that they could move to the first underground level without suffering beatings and abuse, and would be well-fed and clothed without having to be worked to death mining Magic Crystal Veins, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

For the deified Fang Ka, an intense worship and belief formed invisibly.

Tina was quite satisfied with this.

Next comes the cleaning of various resource points.

Each resource point generally has only a few ordinary goblin managers overseeing it.

The slaves working at these resource points seem to be much better off than other slaves; they only have minor surface wounds, and there are basically no severely injured individuals.

The clothes they wear aren't as tattered as those of other slaves, and they don't look as emaciated.

But this is normal, as these slaves are responsible for producing various resources for the Underground City, and they are considered a key group, so their treatment is certainly much better than the average slave.

For these slaves, Fang Ka had already made arrangements.

Let them continue to be responsible for resource production at the resource points while deploying a large number of slaves to learn resource production alongside them.

For example, the cultivation of vegetables and fruits in the various cultivation factories, or the rearing of various meat animals in the farming factories...

Although these slaves are no longer forced to exhaust themselves to death mining, Fang Ka doesn't plan for them to just idly eat and drink; they still have to do relatively less strenuous work like resource production.

It's best to set up a shift system for all the slaves to ensure that each one has work to do that's not too tiring.

Assigning resource production work evenly will undoubtedly ensure the slaves' work time isn't too long and isn't too exhausting.

Of course, if there are any special work arrangements, they can exempt themselves from resource production work when necessary.

Ensuring that each slave has a purpose and can fulfill their role.

They can also be trained as suitable NPCs when needed in the future, establishing connections between them and the players.

The cleaning and integration of the third underground level of the Underground City took quite some time, but everything went relatively smoothly.

After arranging everything, Tina led the slaves toward the first underground level.

She planned to place the Carriers of the Eye of Darkness and Dark Speech at the entrance of the Royal Palace and arrange Merfolk to watch over them.

That would be the residence for these Merfolk in the future, while the entrance would become the place for players to submit tasks.

At the same time, they also needed to divide the living quarters for the slaves and arrange all aspects of their life and work, with plenty of tasks to handle.

Meanwhile, players saw the update announcement.

"Non-stop major update: New scene (Anshui Island Underground City) officially open, scene greatly optimized."

"Second underground level's land in the Underground City available for sale, Magic Crystal Vein is in a developable state."

"For purchase of second underground level land in the Underground City, please go to the entrance of the Royal Palace for consultation and purchase."

"Players can proceed to the Magic Crystal Vein to mine crystals and submit the crystals to the entrance of the Royal Palace on the first underground level of the Underground City, with corresponding rewards based on submission quantity (attached: Magic Crystal Mining Manual)."

"Significantly enhanced NPC intelligence in the Underground City to offer a more diverse cultural life."

"Players can travel between Kain Island (Birth Island) and Anshui Island Underground City. Kain Island players, please seek out Mage Fang Ka; Anshui Island Underground City players, please go to the entrance of the Royal Palace to apply."

"Players must reach Middle Tier in any profession to apply for island passage. A certain fee will be charged for each passage (Note: Group application is available; the larger the group, the cheaper the fee)."

"Improved game climate system, enhanced realistic experience, and fixed several bugs..."
