Chapter 179 - Explanation And Tutorial (III) (1/2)
That very same day, Janus moved his things to the mansion and Riko called some movers to transport the Reality Verse Cabin to my house. I may be rich but I am still far from the kind of Riko who can just call on her phone and the job is done. My phone only has contacts with my friends and family and nothing more.
”I want to see your cabin Manato! Since we will be playing together, I wanted to see how wonderful the cabin looks before mine arrives.”
”Cabin? I don't have one.”
The two looked at me with weird gazes after I said that. But it is understandable.
”I don't own a Reality Verse Cabin since the one I got is the upgraded version of the Reality Verse, the Reality Verse Nexus.”
I showed them the tattoo of the White Tiger that signifies the presence of the Reality Verse.
”Using this, I can access the game without needing to go inside the cabin and use it. I can use the cabin anytime, anywhere I wanted. Heck, I can even log in to the game right now without any problem at all.”
”Reality Verse Nexus? How come I didn't hear it?”
”Of course you won't since it was the reward of the people who bought the cabin first. They got an easy upgrade from the cabin to a tattoo immediately.”
”An upgrade? So that means we can also upgrade ours?”
”According to the higher-ups of the Nexus company, the tattoo version will be available once it is announced. It won't be available for now but once they say that it is ready to be distributed, players who previously bought a cabin will have the chance to get the cabin upgraded into a tattoo version.”
”Damn, the design looks badass. I want to also have something like that soon. But since I am just borrowing the cabin, I will have to play hard to buy my own cabin and use it,” Janus said.
”Then, how about you join us? Since Manato is already level 100, we can tackle some hard bosses and we can start farming your experience and gold much earlier. We can carry you to reach a high level immediately.”
”I disagree with that Riko. As someone who played the game and experience the game, I can say that carrying someone to a certain level will only bring the carried player to more harm than good.”
”Why?” Riko asked.
”Alternate World is a game where your achievements are rewarded and hard work is also rewarded. What if you got carried? Did you have a good combat experience? In my opinion, no. A level is only a number but actual combat experience is the real deal. Even in PVP, if you are high leveled, have good gear and good weapons but have sh*t tier of level in fighting? Then a level 1 player equipped with a beginner sword good at fighting enemies will beat the sh*t out of you without any problem.”
”Now that I think about it, the level doesn't matter in the arena. Even healers can defeat players with just a few attacks despite being a healer,” Riko said.
”Yes, even a healer can defeat a player without experience. So in my opinion, we will accompany Janus in leveling since parties have a boost in exp gain but we will just support him if needed. He will be the one dealing the necessary damage to defeat enemies,” I suggested.
”That sounds nice. It would be boring if I play and get a high leveled character without any experience.”
I am not lying about my opinion. In the past timeline, many rich players who are late at the game and wanted to reach a high level and flex hire mercenary players to power boost them. That was the job of Iron and Topaz in the past timeline and gain money from those kinds of commissions. They thought it would be easy if they have good gear, a good amount of level, and a good amount of stats to handle the enemies, but no. Many of them died after tackling some bosses and they didn't last long and usually get demoted to level 1 after repeated dying. It is kinda funny and sad at the same time.
A few minutes later, the cabin arrives and Janus's eyes were fixated on the cabin. The cabin looks like a cryogenic capsule but has a smaller build and the player who will use it will need to sit down inside. It looked like a small room which is why it was called a Cabin and not a capsule. After all, it doesn't have the shape of a capsule either.
”Are you sure I can play the game for free by using this? Aren't this expensive Riko?” Janus asked.
”Yes it is expensive as hell but since my parents do not see it expensive and see it as a small expenditure, you can say I have no problem letting someone else use it, it will only gather dust in the storage room since no one will be using it since Manato don't need it anymore. I didn't give it to you immediately either since your home is not that trustworthy. Now that you are in a place where you can just forget things and get to work without a problem, I am allowing you to use it. If you want, you can also buy it for me, with a discount of course. It will never be free since there is no such thing as free lunch. Even friends needed to pay.”
”That's fine. I don't expect to receive things for free and that is the life I learned while living alone. I need to work hard on it.”
