Chapter 539 - Staff Conference Part 2
Chapter 539 Staff Conference Part 2
Eggface shouted at Moroes from a distance before turning his head to shout at the Blacksmith Shop.
Moroes knew that Lord Sherlock was having a big event when he heard about the meeting. Since he started work a year ago, he had attended three meetings. After each meeting, there would be a new batch of warriors.
The new warriors required training from Moroes, and he would be very busy.
Moroes was happy even though he was kept busy.
Though his salary wasn’t high, Moroes was satisfied.
He walked to the entrance of the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, where many warriors had gathered. Each time there was a meeting, those warriors would gather there and say strange things. Moroes had been in the Dungeon for a long time, so he understood what the warriors were saying. For example, “NPC” referred to himself or Simba, and “Instance Dungeon” meant collaboration with Specter College.
He didn’t know why the warriors wanted to use such strange terms.
The warriors could only watch outside since they didn’t have permission to enter the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. When Moroes entered the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, he saw other employees like Simba, Mufasa, Evelynn, Brainiac, Beast, and Yoda.
Moroes didn’t include the pets like the black kitten, parrot, and tortoise.
They were just animals.
Every employee was accounted for. Sherlock walked calmly into the Dungeon Lord Main Hall.
Moroes stood up and looked respectfully at Lord Sherlock. The other employees also showed respect like Moroes, especially the three pets, the black kitten, the parrot, and the tortoise. The tortoise was trembling with excitement, and his eyeballs were flowing with tears.
Moroes listened attentively to Lord Sherlock.
“Good morning, everyone. It’s another fine day.”
Sherlock cleared his throat before speaking to his employees. Everyone replied to Sherlock’s greeting. Then Sherlock said, “We have developed the Dungeon for almost a year. I believe every one of you worked hard for the Dungeon. Whether you have been working here since the start of the Dungeon…”
Moroes braced his chest. He was the first employee to work in Eternal Kingdom.
“…or have just joined recently, Eternal Kingdom will have new developments and opportunities.”
Sherlock paused for a while before saying, “We shall recruit more warriors. Three days from now, there will be more members joining our Dungeon. Everyone will be very busy, so please have a good rest because you won’t have a chance to have a proper rest.”
Everyone started chatting among themselves. Moroes said worriedly to himself, “I’ll have to work overtime. I don’t know if there’ll be overtime pay. There will be so many new members. It’s worrying…”
Lord Sherlock was nonchalant about the chatting of his employees. He patted the table to silence them before saying, “I know everyone is tired. Don’t worry, I have tried to lessen your load. I’ll inform you about the new scope of your work that will start three days from now.”
Sherlock was prepared. For this meeting, he prepared thick documents for each individual employee.
Moroes obtained his document and opened it excitedly. Then he examined it. It read:
“Teacher-Student System Facilitator
When there are more and more members in Eternal Kingdom, the group training becomes obsolete because the warriors have matured. They should be able to train themselves. It’s time to release your actual potential. You won’t need to teach the residents of Eternal Kingdom. Instead, you will help them find their teachers and undergo one-on-one mentorship…
Mentor consultation fee: 10 bronze coins
Administrative fee for abolishing the teacher-student relationship: 10 silver coins.
Teacher-student rewards:
Teacher reward: Warriors who become teachers can bring their students for Daily Missions. After completing the Daily Missions, Teacher-Student Points will be awarded. When a student’s Weapon Level reaches Level 5, the student can choose to graduate, and the teacher will obtain a large amount of Teacher-Student Points.
Student reward: After obtaining a teacher, the warrior’s Weapon Level will increase. The student will also receive Reputation Points, money, and equipment after completing the Teacher-Student Daily Missions.”
The Teacher-Student Points could also be used to exchange for items, important titles, and other effects.
Moroes was taken aback. He asked Sherlock, “Lord Sherlock, I know it’s not appropriate to interrupt the meeting. But what position is a Teacher-Student Facilitator? What is the job scope?”
Moroes was nervous. He wasn’t going against Lord Sherlock. He was just unsure of his new job scope and was worried he might cause trouble in Eternal Kingdom. Then Lord Sherlock would have a bad impression of him.
Moroes thought Sherlock would praise him and explain the new job scope in detail, but Lord Sherlock waved his hand and said, “Don’t be bothered by the job description. Just take a look at the code of professional conduct.”
Moroes located the pages that indicated the code of professional conduct for the Teacher-Student Facilitator, which stated:
“Code of Professional Conduct of the Teacher-Student Facilitator
No. 1: Don’t interact with the residents of Eternal Kingdom, especially concerning the content of staff meetings.
The prohibited topics are located on the final page of this manual. Please remember them by heart.
No. 2: Smile when the residents of Eternal Kingdom ask you questions because they will sacrifice their lives to protect the Underworld peace in future battles. Before they die, it’s not too much to spare some smiles of love and concern for them.
No. 3: Don’t discuss anything that is outside the job scope. If you do, the residents will chat with you incessantly. I don’t think that you want to be woken up by them in the middle of the night. Please take note. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.
No. 4: Some residents may display hostile behavior, but don’t worry, they aren’t able to harm you.
No. 5: If you have any problems, look for the counselor, Frangipani. When you know about his predicament, you will feel happier.
No. 6: If you have other questions, please ask the secretary, Eggface, or Brainiac.
No. 7: Always be loyal to Lord Sherlock.
No. 8: Don’t ask. Even if you ask, there is no answer.”
The information was very much in line with Lord Sherlock’s personal way of doing things.
Moroes looked at Simba at his side. Simba was also looking befuddled, unable to understand the content of his document. Most likely, his job scope was also changed.
Most of the employees were befuddled, but one of them was happy. For example, Evelynn.
“Lord Sherlock, are you serious? Am I an employee of Eternal Kingdom?”
“Of course, it’s true. The starting salary is low, the working hours are long, and the holidays are reduced. It’ll be tiring. I hope that you can take it,” Lord Sherlock said earnestly to Evelynn, who nodded her head and indicated that she would work very hard.
“Good. The meeting will end here. Have a good rest for the next two days. You’ll work hard for our dream and future three days from now!” Lord Sherlock said excitedly.
Moroes looked at Lord Sherlock in awe. Only Lord Sherlock could make him feel excitement and vigor. He believed that his life would be bright and wonderful if he worked for Lord Sherlock.
“Why didn’t Lord Sherlock let me be the chef? Didn’t I do a good job?”
When the meeting ended, everyone left the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. Moroes walked with the Blackiron Dwarves on a road in Eternal Kingdom. Mufasa said sadly, “I don’t think I can be a Chef Guide. The residents speak strangely, and I’m unable to chat with them for long. Why can’t I prepare meals for them?”
Moroes was puzzled. He remembered that Mufasa was employed as a Carpenter, though he spent more time preparing meals.
Moroes didn’t say much since Simba didn’t complain.
Everyone was like Moroes. Their originally detailed work scope had become that of an abstract instructor. They were no longer teachers for the residents of Eternal Kingdom. Now, they were only required to guide the residents to their appropriate profession and let them learn the skills and knowledge from the more experienced residents.
Basically, they were like standing signposts.
Why did Sherlock not put a signpost instead? Moroes had this question, but he pushed it to the back of his mind. Lord Sherlock must have had his reasons.
Moroes had blind faith in Lord Sherlock.
Though Moroes was befuddled by his new job scope like the other employees, he didn’t mind due to his strong trust in Lord Sherlock.
He returned to his residence and started thinking about visiting his wife tomorrow. Lord Sherlock had given them two days of leave because new members would be coming to Eternal Kingdom in three days. Lord Sherlock was a good boss!
Moroes hadn’t returned home for a few months. He would bring his hard-earned money and the stories from Eternal Kingdom back to his wife. Eternal Kingdom was the most reputable Dungeon in the Underworld. It would be an honor to work in Eternal Kingdom.
He was considering whether he should deceive his wife and tell her that he was charging in the front during the battle with the Surface World.
While Moroes was thinking of how to curry favor with his wife, he heard knocks at the door.
“Moroes? I have a letter for you.”
It was a respectful and dull voice. Moroes recognized that it was the voice of a resident of Eternal Kingdom. When they chatted with him, they would use the same robotic voice. They could have spoken more naturally.
Moroes was curious why the resident of Eternal Kingdom was at his doorstep. When he opened the door, there would be residents wandering outside. They wanted to come in, but they couldn’t. After tens of days, such behavior disappeared. It had been a long time since someone knocked on his door.
Moroes stood up and opened his door, finding a group of gamers standing there.
It was a Gnome who knocked on the door. He held a letter excitedly.
“A Gnome who said she was your wife wanted me to give you this letter.”
Moroes was surprised, but he took the letter and tore open the envelope. He was puzzled about why the gamers were still standing at his door. It was then that his eyes caught a glimpse of the letter’s content:
“Divorce Agreement.”
