Chapter 237 Part Two – Making Money from Players and NPCs
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
When the Fire Dragon Instance Dungeon was released to the public, it instantly caused a commotion in the City of Dawn sub-forum.
“Dammit! 2 gold coins for a chance to enter the Instance Dungeon, and on top of that, there’s a limit of three chances per day. That’ll cost 6 gold coins if you hit the daily limit. So expensive!” As a professional fisherman and casual player, Umekawa was not happy with this arrangement.
If this went on, he would not be able to even afford having his equipment fixed, let alone construct Intermediate Epic fishing rods.
Jumping Fish commented, “Prince William (arrogant face): You want to level up without paying money? Piss off, poor bloke!”
Egg Pudding said, “Hehe, I knew that this would happen sooner or later. Prince William is no longer content with just experience points. It’s Version 2.0 now, it’s time to pay money for power-ups.”
“I’m back again. I deleted my account previously, but I’m making a comeback now. I’ll definitely become a Dragon’s blood warrior. Gold coins? Hmph, I have lots and lots of it!” ‘What Can You Do Against Me’ remarked.
Nonetheless, these were just the initial comments. Many players had not entered the Instance Dungeon yet.
After two or three hours passed, a bunch of players came out of the Instance Dungeon. “This is way too hard. This Instance Dungeon is divided into four difficulty levels, namely Ordinary (30), Difficult (300), Hell (3000), and Legendary (6000).” a ranger called Billion Girl Dreams grumbled.
“Our small team of 30 people was dressed in Silver equipment from head to toe. After we went in, we joined the City of Dawn Camp, but everyone in the camp was sneaking around as if this had nothing to do with them.
“In the Instance Dungeon, Prince William hid on the snow-capped mountain for over an hour…
“From the beginning to the end, he didn’t do anything other than obtaining the Fire Dragon’s head in one attack.
“Afterwards, we were engaged in heated battles with others, but we obtained nothing else other than some equipment in the end!”

“Brother, after entering the Instance Dungeon, there are many Camps that you can choose to join, such as the Iron Dukedom, the Dragon’s clansmen, the City of Dawn. You can even choose the independent camp option. It allows you to create a Camp by yourself and fight for the Fire Dragon’s head!”
“True, but everyone wants the Fire Dragon, how do we fight for it?” Slurp Monster commented
“Let’s not talk about that just yet. Didn’t you guys hear that Prince William obtained the Fire Dragon’s head in just one powerful attack? That means that the Fire Dragon’s Health Points were already very low when he attacked.
“Even if we stand guard at the snow-capped mountain, we won’t be able to win against Prince William. Even if we kill the Fire Dragon, Prince William has an extra-large space ring to immediately steal its corpse.
“Prince William is really shameless…
“I think we can only join the Iron Dukedom Camp if we want to stalk and kill the Fire Dragon.”
‘Don’t Do It Prince’ said, “That’s impossible. Our guild had 300 people. We chose the difficult level and joined the Iron Dukedom Camp. But once anyone was hit by a Dragon’s Breath, they would die. We don’t even remember how many times we died and were revived. We couldn’t even get to the Fire Dragon Boss inside.
“Especially since there is Burned Cinder, the guy that was previously Augustine, to block our way. This Legendary big guy is even more brutal than Prince William. It’s extremely difficult to steal the Boss away from him!”
Even after what happened, the Fire Dragon Instance Dungeon was still a huge temptation to the players.
The key thing was to figure out how to obtain the Fire Dragon’s corpse. Even if they couldn’t do so, they could steal some dragon blood and scales.
At this moment, the City of Dawn players were extremely passionate towards the Fire Dragon Instance Dungeon.
Everyone knew that Changli Jiuge became so powerful because he had the chance to become a Dragon’s blood warrior. He had played an intrinsic role in the Glory Club’s victory during the global tournament.
However, it was extremely hard to obtain dragon blood, which caused people to come up with all sorts of ideas.
Some people devised methods such as rushing over when the Fire Dragon was hurt and collecting some dragon blood in bottles.
But it was a pity that the Instance Dungeon had prevention measures in place. Dragon blood obtained by those means were deemed useless.
The dragon blood could only be used if it was obtained from the Fire Dragon’s corpse after one killed it.
William stared at the income he had gained from the Camps, and he was dumbfounded.
In merely 10 hours, tens of thousands of players entered the Instance Dungeon. Just like this, he earned 200,000 gold coins easily!
“Dammit, these people are way too dumb. Just send 3000 Intermediate professionals inside and choose the Legendary difficulty level. Then, everyone could join the Iron Dukedom Camp and block the entrance, helping Augustine kill the Fire Dragon!
“Since the players can keep reviving, it would be easy to kill Augustine no matter how strong he is.
“Afterward, they will have all the time to go collect dragon blood, scales, bones, and even go to its nest to search for treasure chests. Who will be able to stop them? Why are they going for the normal difficulty level Instance Dungeon?” William saw the forum posts and was even anxious for the players.
“Nonetheless, it is impossible that I will give them any tips. They can slowly come up with strategies for the Instance Dungeon. Heh! The more they go inside the Instance Dungeon, the more gold coins I will earn.” William laughed. Once the players discovered the strategy, Burned Cinder was going to get killed countless times!
If he wasn’t scared that something would happen to his character if he entered the Instance Dungeon crystal, he would have gone in himself…
Now, the City of Dawn players had many Instance Dungeons to choose from.
Private Instance Dungeons that belonged to William included the Misty Valley, Fortress Battle, and Fire Dragon Instance Dungeons.
Wild Instance Dungeons included the Darkness invasion and Battle of Power, which was the final battle between the Black Lava Dukedom and Iron Dukedom.
However, the scale of those Instance Dungeons was too large, and players rarely chose to enter them.
This was especially seen for the Darkness invasion Instance Dungeon as the players could only gain limited Materials from it. They would be better off killing dark creatures in the wild.
After all, they did not have the capability to win against the devils. Even if they could obtain equipment, it would be equipment that carried the Dark attribute. The Palace of Darkness had enough equipment, and Dark attribute players didn’t want any more equipment. Those types of equipment couldn’t sell for a good price.
On the same note…
The Palace of Darkness players had gained a lot from the Darkness invasion. They were all armed with Gold equipment. There was way too much Dark attribute equipment, and after some collecting and selling, they didn’t have to spend much effort in obtaining a full set of Dark-Gold attribute equipment.
For now, William didn’t care about what the players did in the Instance Dungeon.
He didn’t need experience points for the time being. He had a steady source of gold coins, so he started to think of other ways to earn money.
It wasn’t that the City of Dawn lacked money.
It was just that the money belonged to the players and NPCs.
Since he had started earning money from the players, it was time to earn money from the NPCs now!
Therefore, several new games appeared in the casino!
Namely, Mahjong and Poker.
These games were very popular among the players. It wasn’t a big deal that William duplicated it for the NPCs.
As an outstanding Lord, he was going to prohibit illegal acts such as prostitution!
Except for the official brothels and casinos, no other small-scale casinos and hotels were allowed to exist. Everyone was responsible for reporting these illegal establishments.
If anyone dared to participate in any illegal establishment!
William would get hold of everyone who was involved and make them do manual labor, as well as fine them a heavy sum.
The city lord waved his big hand, and a whole list of laws and regulations was pinned on the bulletin board.
50 more casinos were built and spread out across various major cities. Most of them were based in cities mainly occupied by humans.
This was because elves didn’t like to go to casinos.
After all, some curious NPCs had been starting to learn new games like Mahjong and Poker. He would build 300 more casinos directly and impose high taxes. Those who liked to gamble were welcome, and those who didn’t could just get lost.
As for brothels, it was better to not make any drastic changes and cause the people to protest…
William didn’t make any further changes. Once Odom knew that he was expanding the casinos, he would know what he needed to do next.
He could already imagine his little treasure vault becoming full again in the near future.
He would gain massive profits for sure.
