It was almost dawn, the number of gamers in Eternal Kingdom was at its lowest.
Moroes liked this time period the best because he could enjoy himself during his free time doing more than just sleeping.
A new Gnome, Yoda, who had no green words or the insanity ailment, came to the Dungeon.
The Gnome looked normal. He was previously a Mana Engineer in Winterfell.
Moroes felt close to him as they were of the same race.
He went to Yoda's door during his precious resting time. As he was about to knock on the door, a hand came out and pulled him in.
An enemy?
As a legendary Gladiator, Moroes was ready to retaliate, bluff, and beg his way out or even scream...
"Shh, it's me, Yoda."
Moroes calmed down when he heard Yoda's voice. He turned to look, and that was Yoda. But Yoda was looking nervous.
"Don't say anything. Follow me."
Yoda looked at the surroundings. Once he was sure there was nobody, he took Moroes to a small building that was 200 square meters.
There was a sign that read, "Home of the Pioneers".
Those were the words on the sign.
This was the home of the veteran gamers. There was various graffiti on the walls. The prominent word "Dream" that was written on the wall was the symbolic icon in Eternal Kingdom.
Even Yoda, who had just arrived, had heard of the Dream Wall.
But this wasn't important. The important thing was that Yoda and Moroes saw a wall full of numbers.
"If X = 85, Y =... oh gosh!" Moroes was sweating in fear as he looked at Yoda.
"Don't look at me, I don't know what happened. I was going to the bathroom when I saw this. I'm sure it wasn't here yesterday, " Yoda said firmly.
"Scary... I have to inform Lord Sherlock, " Moroes said solemnly.
In the Dungeon Lord Main Hall of Eternal Kingdom.
"Such a thing occurred in my Dungeon?"
Sherlock looked at Moroes and Yoda as he said gravely, "I understand. I'll not allow my Dungeon to have such decadent behavior. I'll take this matter to heart and find out the decadent culprits in the shortest time!"
Moroes and Yoda were relieved as they left Sherlock.
Sherlock looked at the computer screen and the discussion forum that was filled with decadent posts:
[Urgent request! Calculus veteran, please come in quickly!]
[Why are the game producers mistreating us? If they don't want us to cut the trees, tell us. This is too despicable!]
The most popular post was from Hemp Rope Technology.
[Soliciting Post for Underground Forest No. 3, tree cutting Strategy Guide. ]
"The game has added the new map, Underground Forest No. 3.
If it's a forest, then we'll cut the trees. Wood is a scarce resource in the Dungeon.
But before cutting the trees, the gamers are required to answer questions that are not governed by any rules. On average, four correct answers to the questions are required to cut a tree. The difficulty of the questions is incremental.
I intend to create a post to discover the rules of the questions or the chance that a similar question is repeated. Then the gamers only need to memorize the question and the answer. Even if it's an immersive virtual reality online game with arcane technology, it's still an online game!
I spent a lot of time to create an APP to allow gamers to upload the questions for me to collate the questions with correct answers.
Within a day, I have accumulated tens of thousands of questions. I thought that some of the questions would be repeated. If it was created by a procedure, then there would definitely be repetitions!
But I was wrong. The development team has already thought of this. Every question might have similar methods for the solutions, but they were never exactly the same.
As for the development team uploading the answers and using a random generator to create new questions, I have done some initial research, but I have to admit that there were no identical templates in the questions.
From the current situation, the development team seems to have created a database of questions that is as large as the forest.
I shall not praise the development team any further.
From today onwards, this post will teach mathematics. Those who are thinking of cutting trees, please visit this post to learn. If there are any difficult questions, you may upload and request for help. We'll try to help each other.
Just doing the questions alone is not enough. You have to understand the solution methods, formula, and analysis. Rote-learning is not going to help.
Only if you have a solid foundation in mathematics will you be a good lumberjack.
In addition, I am also recruiting various Airship research and construction personnel. We have the Magical Core, machinery, and Magic Cannons. Like what the update log said, why do we not build an Airship?"
Many gamers and forum members replied:
[MeetDown: The mathematics professor on the forum, please verify yourself with your bald head. Paying 50 bronze coins for each question. If you miss this opportunity, there are no other chances. ]
[Untilyou: D*mn, I have to learn higher mathematics just to cut trees. Are the game producers that lame? Are they devils?]
[ShadowOfFamousSword: If my math teacher plays this game, he will not be giving us exercise books. He will be telling us how many trees to cut. ]
[DoNotLook_ThereIsNoMilk: I am not browsing anymore. I am studying Tongji University's Higher Mathematics Version 7. ]
[CountlessBodhi: Tall trees require the huge Axe of Philosophy to cut down! And you are talking mathematics, hahahaha. I think, therefore I am. Cutting trees is rational! And necessary! Do not stop me. I am not mad. I want to cut the trees!]
[GlutinousRiceballDevotee: I have to take out my collection of calculus textbooks that I kept for years. ]
[GenderImbalance: Addiction protection system is online. ]
[SarcasmTriangle: That is hardcore! I am recalling how the various Guilds were diligently learning EVE online's terms when it canceled the Chinese version. ]
...
Sherlock was thinking hard when he finished reading the posts.
"These creatures... are too decadent."
