Chapter 352: Hey? Is That Customer Service?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The rotting leaves were covered with another thick layer of new leaves. A short figure emitted “zi ya, zi ya” sounds and was about to walk forward when someone stopped his advance and gestured nervously.

The figure was in a daze and spoke unhappily, “D*mn you, if there’s a problem… Ooo!”

He didn’t manage to complete his sentence before someone covered his mouth and pointed nervously to the clearing ahead, where there were three Ogres talking loudly. However, they could only hear soft voices since it was a distance away.

The gamers of Victoria City couldn’t understand the language of the Ogres.

Lancelot squatted nearby and was feeling chills due to the behavior of the gamers. They had been chatting non-stop since they entered the forest. Lancelot wanted to order them to keep quiet, but it was of no use.

Soon, the gamers discovered the whereabouts of the Ogres. They said, “Gosh, someone on the forum encountered the Ogres and was killed! They’re nearby! Find the blood trails, it should be around.”

For the next hour, they continued chatting.

“Someone on the forum…”

“The post on the forum…”

“What was discussed on the forum?”

“Forum…”

Forums, forums, forums. What kind of intelligence organization was the forum? Lancelot didn’t know, he only knew that these Humans, Fairies, and Elves knew the movements of the Ogres. The gamers moved left and maneuvered right while they chatted nonstop. Then, they surrounded the Ogres!

Yes, they surrounded their prey!

Lancelot had never encountered such a strange siege. The gamers chatted as they walked, and occasionally, they would lay down on the ground and then get up a minute later. After that, they surrounded the three Ogres!

The gamers didn’t intend to remain quiet. A distant person shouted, “We have completed the siege here. Hurry up!”

The loud shouting alerted the Ogres, who stood up and roared furiously.

Though there were many gamers around, Lancelot was nervous, and his palms perspired profusely. He wasn’t afraid of battle, but the enemies were four- to five-meter tall Ogres who only appeared in books or legends as evil creatures. But now, they stood alive in front of him. As an honorable Knight, he felt extremely hot-blooded when faced with such vile creatures.

“Warriors!”

He raised his sword and shouted to the gamers, “Our enemies are evil Underworld creatures, so don’t have mercy! Attack them bravely and…”

Lancelot didn’t finish his sentence as the gamers had already charged out. Some gamers even started shouting.

“Gosh, we are having a Plot Animation here, but the gamers on the opposite side have already started charging! Don’t do that! The equipment is mine!”

“Equipment? The mission stated that the Ogres’ equipment would have to be submitted to Duchess Lilo!”

“Ai, it’s a pity, but we can’t expect too much from the opening Plot Mission.”

The horde of gamers flooded towards the three Ogres…

…

Lilo gazed at three pieces of flesh that were covered with mosaic. If Sherlock had not informed her about the arrangement of the three Ogres, she wouldn’t suspect those things to be Ogres.

The gamers before Lilo were all quiet and motionless. Even Lancelot could feel the suppression. It felt as though he was being pressed down.

Lancelot didn’t know that it was Lilo’s dominant aura.

“Not bad,” Lilo said to the gamer. “Prepare for an attack against the Ogre Fortress.”

“Wait, wait a moment! Duchess Lilo, if we don’t prepare well and attack the Ogres recklessly, we’ll have no chance against them. It was a difficult battle against the three Ogres.”

Lancelot was full of injuries. If the gamers hadn’t used their bodies as shields, Lancelot would be dead. As a Human, his strength was inferior to the evil creatures of the Underworld.

“I understand, but we will not be afraid, and we will defeat those Ogres. That’s all, don’t say anymore.”

Lilo raised her hand to stop Lancelot from speaking. Then, she returned to the small Castle, leaving the three Hamsters to speak to the gamers.

“Prepare for battle! We’ll prepare the Teleport Portal!”

They then followed Lilo and left.

The gamers resumed their chattering while Lancelot was in a daze, recalling the previous events. His eyes lit up as he thought about Grand Priest Baldhead’s words, “These people were sent by God.”

They were representing the Light races to destroy the evil of the Underworld!

…

A long black tail was wavering on a chair.

Two hind legs that were too short to reach the ground were swinging in the air, while a claw manipulated a mouse and clicked furiously to control a woman holding dual guns on a computer screen. Eggface looked at the screen, speaking from time to time.

“Anytime boss.”

“I’m there.”

“Shake it baby!”

“Yeah baby!”

At this moment, a minimized webpage emitted beeping sounds.

Eggface mumbled to himself and stopped his computer game, then switched to the webpage.

A chat window popped out, and on the right side of the chat window were two chat names:

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001]

The name below was [Winter Lord Overseer].

[Winter Lord Overseer: Is anyone around? Customer service?]

Eggface took out a piece of paper, which was full of customer service responses. He searched through and copied the relevant parts.

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: Yes, dearest. How can I help you?]

[Winter Lord Overseer: Gosh! There’s customer service! Are you faking it?]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: Dearest, I am new to the job. How can I help you?]

[Winter Lord Overseer: Ah, it’s nothing much. I just wanted to check out the customer service. I’m surprised. I tried it out, and it’s for real. Will you be annoyed since you’re the only representative?]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: No, dearest, I’m now doing on-the-job-training, so I only work one hour per day.]

[Winter Lord Overseer: Ah, I see…]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: If there’s nothing else, I will end the chat. If there are any problems, look for me again, dearest. (づ̄ 3 ̄)づ]

Eggface closed the chat window in disdain, but just as he was about to resume his computer game, another series of beeping sounds were heard.

Eggface switched to the chat window. It was another person.

[Dragon Raja No.1: Ai? Gosh, customer service?]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: Yes, dearest. How can I help you?]

[Dragon Raja No.1: Ah, it’s nothing. I didn’t manage to defeat the Ogres. Is there a new Ogre Plot? Can you provide some equipment?]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: Dearest, Ogres are a high-level race that produces good quality equipment. Please work harder to defeat the Ogres and obtain their equipment~]

[Dragon Raja No.1: No, I just said that I can’t defeat the Ogres!]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: Then go and get better equipment!]

[Dragon Raja No.1: I have to defeat the Ogres to obtain good equipment!]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: Then go and defeat the Ogres!]

[Dragon Raja No.1: I can’t defeat the Ogres!]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: Are you fooling me, dearest? I am ending the chat. Please clear your head before coming back. (〃’▽’〃)]

“Who was that? Was that intentional?”

Eggface muttered to himself, feeling that it was impossible to understand. Right as he was about to resume his computer game, the chat window indicated a new chat.

[Noon: Wah! There’s customer service!]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: (づ̄3 ̄)づ Dearest, how can I help you?]

[Noon: Are you a little woman?]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: Please do not ask questions unrelated to the game, dearest!]

[Noon: Your reaction indicates that you’re a woman! I love you, little woman!]

[“Dungeon” Customer Service 001: Dearest, if you are harassing me, I will end the chat.]

[Noon: Miss! Miss!]

Eggface ended the chat decisively.

What was that about? Were they that free? Why were they not playing games? Was chatting fun?

Eggface was unable to understand. As he was about to resume his computer game, the beeping sounds were heard.

Eggface shut off the computer and pushed the keyboard away. Tears welled up as he walked angrily to the nest at the corner, and he snorted indignantly and cried.

“Ooo, ooo, ooo…”
