Chapter 264: The First Adventurer’s Mission
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Though the opening ceremony of the Adventurer’s Guild was very successful, there were very few missions. Besides Baron Nicholas’ friends, who placed orders for processing raw materials, there was only the elderly Gnome that requested a.s.sistance to help his grandson quit gambling.
He didn’t know if there were other creatures who requested a.s.sistance as he was very busy.
Sherlock and Eggface returned to the Dungeon Lord Main Hall.
Eggface closed the door and slipped to the side of Sherlock. He ran to the counter and brewed some b.l.o.o.d.y chrysanthemum tea as he asked, “What are you playing? Tropico or Dark Souls 3? Play Dark Souls 3. I want to earn the Fiery Throne Usurper achievement. I haven’t completed that.”
“No, I want to play other games,” Sherlock said directly.
“There’s a recommendation for a game on the forum. I think it’ll be useful for the management of the Dungeon. I’ll try the new game.”
“New game?”
The eyes of Eggface lit up.
“It’s called ‘Kens.h.i.+’.”
Sherlock activated the game “Kens.h.i.+”.
Eggface put two cups of b.l.o.o.d.y chrysanthemum tea next to Sherlock. After being trained by Sherlock, Eggface was able to share his b.l.o.o.d.y chrysanthemum tea with others.
The others were only restricted to Lord Sherlock.
“What kind of game is that? The graphic quality is bad,” Eggface said as he placed a stool next to Sherlock.
“I feel it’s bad too.” Sherlock nodded in agreement.
…
Twenty-four hours later.
“Don’t beat me… I’m not escaping from prison… my legs are broken…”
Eggface spoke in his dreams and leaned against the corner wall. His fat body was curled up in a bundle while he spoke in his dreams.
Sherlock was saving his game and exiting it.
He then turned his head to look at Eggface, listening to his blabbering. Sherlock took out a blanket and walked to Eggface.
He knelt down and used the blanket to wrap the small Black Dragon. He then stood up, opened the door, and threw him out.
“Gos.h.!.+ I received a babysitting mission. I’m supposed to make Eggface sleep. How do I do it? Like how we tell bedtime stories to the Great White Goose?”
“Lord Sherlock, are you too kind to the small Black Dragon?” Bru asked as Sherlock threw Eggface out.
“As a superior Devil, I feel that you should restrain the small Black Dragon such that he can’t escape forever. A dog leash is necessary. Though there’s a long period of time before Eggface becomes mature, he will be Lord Sherlock’s capable general. I’ve thought of his name, Wings of Death. How’s that? If he can’t make it, he can still be a ride for Lord Sherlock! I’m recommending a good game, ‘B*tch on the Dragon’s back’. It’s very popular.”
“With such a name, I don’t think it will be fun,” Sherlock said mercilessly.
“I’ll only enslave the Black Dragon if I intend to declare war on all the Dragons. Otherwise, I won’t do such a foolish thing. Dragon riders are only myths. Only humanoids of the Dragon race transform into other races to become riders. I haven’t seen anyone using the Dragons as a steed.”
Sherlock accessed the discussion forum.
“Ai, times have changed. During our times, the Dragons didn’t dare to venture out alone. Those solo Dragons were captured to be the steeds of Devils,” Bru said nostalgically.
“We are living in a different time,” Sherlock said as he started to browse the discussion forum.
“Isn’t Lord Sherlock curious about my past? I have hinted at my past from my conversations. Has Lord Sherlock ever thought that Bru was a Dungeon Core of the great Satan? Haven’t you had such thoughts before?” Bru asked curiously.
“No, I’m not curious. You have a 50% chance of bluffing,” Sherlock said as he examined a post on the front page created by NotWearingPants. It had garnered 10,000 comments.
[The records of the first Adventurer’s mission]
“w( ゚Д゚)w h.e.l.lo everyone, I’m NotWearingPants. My three world views were challenged today. I’m very shocked by the unscrupulous methods used by the game producers in order for the game to survive!
The survival instinct is very strong. I have never seen that before.
The story begins from the first mission of the Adventurer’s Guild.
This Special Mission was given by a Gnome NPC at the Adventurer’s Guild.
I don’t know the details of the reward or any hidden rewards. With the unique Plot Animation, this mission is different from the rest.
We understand that everyone is interested to know more about the mission. I created this post to inform everyone about the mission.
I will start from the mission location, the Old Bro Gambling Den.
Do you think that it’s a gambling den? It’s actually a tuition cla.s.s!
There were many topics, including languages of foreign races, Underworld common language, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. They encompa.s.sed our compulsory education, three years of high school, and four years of university education.
There was a conservatively dressed Succubus who was the lead. The smart Succubus gave us a name card and spoke of two hours of service. The name card looks like this:

The location is the Old Bro Gambling Den. We thought it was a gambling den!
When we arrived at the location, the Orc in the alley told us it was a tuition cla.s.s. We thought that it was a euphemistic term for prost.i.tution.
I chose a Missy Succubus and ordered two hours of service. We came up with 300 Magic Stones for the payment! Oh my G.o.d!
You guessed it.
It was a real tuition cla.s.s! The tutor had very shallow knowledge, to the point that I could easily overwhelm her with my knowledge.
Then she recommended that I become an adjunct tutor at the Old Bro Gambling Den.
I have become an adjunct tutor and earned 100 Magic Stones for a day of tuition cla.s.s.
We discovered that our mission target was addicted to studying. He was the grandson of the elderly Gnome—Xiaoming.
We understood the mission requirement. Xiaoming deceived his grandfather into thinking that he was gambling, but he was actually studying!
So our mission is to have him give up studying. Is that correct?
As for subsequent developments, please keep a lookout for my post.”
