It wasn't just the few mysterious beings who were discussing "important matters" that were speechless.
In the God's Kingdom, Eve's deified figure sat on the throne and browsed through the official forum in front of her. She was speechless for a long time …
"[Top Post]: How to resell items with the highest efficiency without affecting the Dark Dwarf Reputation Mission."
"Common Bargaining Techniques – Dwarves Only."
"[818] First Legion Guild Member 'XXX' almost ruined the entire reputation mission for equipment!"
"[Essence Post] Dark Dwarves exchange notes on how to quickly become friends with them."
"[Essence Post] Black Rock City's specialties and places to sell them."
"Dwarf Trafficker's coordinates and how to sell yourself for a good price."
"[Daily Record] I'm running an underground pyramid scheme."
…
Eve was speechless.
Ever since the players flooded into the underground city of the Dark Dwarves, all kinds of strange posts began to appear on the forum.
Eve realized that she had underestimated the players.
Unlike the elves, the Dark Dwarves were not Eve's believers.
Because there was no connection between their faith and the game system, Eve could not instantiate likability points like the elves. There was also no mission system template, and she could not prohibit the players from attacking the Dwarves like the Nature Believers. Therefore, her ability to restrict the players was greatly reduced.
Fortunately, due to their preconceived notions of friendliness and the constraints of the Reputation Quest, the players did not treat the dwarves as enemies. Although the dwarves often caused mischief, at least the situation that Eve was most worried about didn't happen.
Of course, one of the reasons was that they unloaded their equipment in the city. The players had not reached the point where they could defeat the Dwarves with their bare hands.
But even if Eve restricted the players in the form of the reputation mission, after dealing with the Dark Dwarves, they still had all kinds of tricks up their sleeves …
Some stole things, some cheated things, and even worse, there were players who used their deaths to steal equipment. Fortunately, the Dark Dwarves did not know about usury. Otherwise, Eve felt that she would see a large number of elves going to borrow money from usury and then commit suicide on the spot …
As for mixing some fake goods in the flour when trading with the dwarves, it was a common practice. Demacia saw a business opportunity and even threw down the toilet and ran to the underground world to start a pyramid scheme!
It was said that … he relied on the rich knowledge of pyramid selling that he found on the Bluestar network, and used a batch of fruits that could be found everywhere in the Elven Forest to make products. Within a day, he developed close to a hundred underlings among the Dark Dwarves, and as he continued to expand, he earned a large sum of money …
After that, he used these coins to purchase large amounts of magic materials that were unique to Black Rock City. He then resold them to the elves of the Inferno tribe, earning a considerable amount of contribution points. He even relied on the cheap sale of magic materials to unexpectedly increase the favorability of a few elven NPCs...
After he tasted the sweetness, a few other players saw a business opportunity and followed suit. Although they did not swindle as much as he did, they still made a small profit …
However, the dwarves were not fools. Some of them had already faintly sensed that something was wrong.
Although they had not yet exposed it, Eve seemed to have seen the dwarves coming to their senses and chasing after these players.
It could be foreseen that it was only a matter of time before Demacia became the most unpopular elf in Black Rock City …
This made Eve not know whether to laugh or cry.
This fellow … did he not consider the consequences when he sought death?
In fact, he was not the only one who sought death. It was just that everyone was relatively restrained.
After all … seeking death was a human instinct. Under the premise that there was no pressure of death, humans could do all sorts of things.
As a race of the underground world, it was not that there were no dwarves who wanted to target the players. There were even some who wanted to take the opportunity to kidnap a few elves and sell them to the underground world's black market.
However …
What happened after that was very dramatic …
A few dwarves did indeed plan to kidnap an elf, but the elf escaped at the last moment.
This made them very nervous. They were worried that the elf would take revenge on them, so they were prepared to go into hiding. However, what awaited them was not revenge, but business with the elf …
Suddenly, an elf came to them and wanted to do a big business with them, selling a batch of elf slaves!
This made these dwarves, who were similar to the city's underworld, dumbfounded.
Elves … were actually selling elves?
Then, after they spent a lot of money to buy these elves, these elves committed suicide one after another, causing the dwarven human traffickers to go bankrupt in an instant …
Subsequently, the other dwarven slave traders in Black Rock City also encountered similar business, and elves came to their door one after another …
The results were the same.
Not long after, these dwarves no longer dared to have any ideas about these elves.
As for those dwarves who were jealous of the players' gains, they tried to ambush the players outside the city and were killed one after another.
They were shocked to find that these elves were extremely fierce once they fought. Moreover, after fighting with one, a group would quickly come running over … They did not know how they communicated with each other.
They could not win at all, even begging for mercy was useless.
However, the players were not very interested in attacking the Dark Dwarves.
This was because after killing the dwarves, they did not gain any experience points. At most, they could only pick up some "dropped items".
The problem was … these dwarves who robbed them were often very poor.
In short … although the image of the elves had not completely collapsed in the eyes of the Dark Dwarves, but … compared to the image in the legends, it was almost like heaven and earth had been turned upside down.
Fortunately, on the whole, the Dark Dwarves' evaluation of the players was still quite positive.
It was not that the higher-ups of Black Rock City did not know about some small conflicts, but on the whole, they turned a blind eye and let it go.
In the underground world, strength was king. If they were killed, they could only say that they deserved it.
However, what surprised the Dark Dwarves was that these elves were not stubborn. They could actually get used to the survival rules of the underground world!
The dwarves found that even if an elf was killed in a dispute outside the city, these elves would not come to question them.
This made many dwarves look at the players in a higher light.
This was because … the players' way of doing things was in line with the concept of strength being king in the underground world.
Of course, although there were small conflicts, in the overall process of communication, both sides still had a lot of goodwill.
The players still valued the neutral NPC's reputation rating that Eve had set.
Therefore … although they were reckless, the players also had a sense of propriety.
Not to mention other things, the first few players who used death to cheat for equipment were quickly stopped by other players.
And with the influx of players, gradually … the dwarves also got used to the wandering of these strange elves.
Anyway, the other party was only here to do business, and their overall attitude was good. Coupled with the traditional image of the elves, although the dwarves felt that these elves were very strange, but slowly … they also accepted them.
The influx of players brought a lot of rich products from the Elf Forest. Objectively, it also improved the lives of the Dark Dwarves. Therefore, although there were conflicts on the whole, they were still quite welcomed by the dwarves.
On the other hand, some of the dwarves' products were also welcomed by the players.
Especially the steam gun, this kind of weapon similar to the Bluestar firearms, made the players very curious. Many of them traded for it and were ready to go back and try it out.
A few weapon enthusiasts in the "Cute Committee" were said to be planning to modify the steam gun according to the dwarves' steam gun to see if they could create a Bluestar firearm …
In addition … the players also got wine from the dwarves!
Like many western fantasy works, the dwarves in the world of Segers also liked good wine, and the players were also very interested in the wine in the game.
However, after trying it, the players felt that the dwarves' wine was not tasty enough.
At least … it was far worse than the wine in the Celestial Empire.
In fact, it was very normal. Unlike the dwarves on the ground, the Dark Dwarves who lived underground lacked food to make wine. Most of the time, their wine was bought from human caravans, and the black-hearted human caravans would always sell some low-quality wine to them.
Although there were some good quality wine, it was only available to the dwarves who were famous. The players could only buy the lowest quality ale in the tavern.
The players who had long been addicted to the various wines in the Bluestar naturally looked down on the ale that tasted worse than beer.
In fact, there were already lifestyle players who wanted to make wine. However, although the Elf Forest was rich in products, there was no food suitable for making wine. There were a lot of fruits, and some players tried to make fruit wine, but they always felt that it was lacking in flavor.
However, after there were crops, some players had already started to look up information on the internet and tried to make wine. It was estimated that success was only a matter of time …
When that time came … there would be one more product to sell to the dwarves.
The higher-ups of the three major guilds had also started to discuss business cooperation with the higher-ups of Black Rock City.
Some of the dwarves' minerals and magical materials were very attractive. Whether it was for equipment forging, equipment repair, or basic construction, they were all very useful.
Some players had already calculated that if they could trade with the dwarves and train their own blacksmiths, they could more or less save some contribution points in their daily expenses to repair or exchange for equipment.
Eve did not stop these things. Instead, she was happy to see it happen.
Following the exchange between the two sides, the dwarves' Black Rock City had gradually become a stronghold for the players in the underground world.
In the huge underground cavern, one side of the underground river was the stronghold of the Dark Dwarves, and the other side was the underground forest where the magical beasts lived.
The magical beasts and monsters there would even harass the dwarves from time to time, which was a headache for them.
However, the dwarves did not have the courage to kill all the monsters in one fell swoop.
The entire Black Rock City had a population of a few thousand people, and the combat population was even lower. After all, the dwarves were not half-orcs who were all soldiers. If they really fought with the magical beasts, the casualties would be huge …
Of course, another reason was that these underground magical beasts were not only ferocious, but also tenacious. They did not have any valuable materials on them, so it would not be worth it to fight them.
However, the players swarmed into the underground forest and started to hunt the magical beasts!
The Dark Dwarves were very confused about this. They did not know why these strange elves were so interested in fighting the magical beasts.
However, although they did not understand, they were happy to see it happen.
The dwarves were very happy that there were people attacking the magical beasts that were entrenched nearby.
However, as time passed, a group of people became more and more restless.
