As Pedro took a bite of his gravy-filled fried chicken, he can't help but be teary-eyed as his mouth started to water like a hungry wolf. Then, in the next second, he wolfs down his food without leaving a single grain of garlic rice left on his plate.
"Take it easy, cousin Peds! We brought four buckets of fried chicken! I know that you missed these kinds of foods, but slow down a little bit, will you? It's not like were soldiers undergoing training, so take your ti in enjoying the foods we brought, okay?" Weyron said with a smirk on his face.
At this mont, Pedro drank his water to avoid choking from the food that he gulped down in just a matter of minutes. Then, when he cald down, he said, "You can't bla , Wey! I've been eating roastedif not raw, at for more than a month."
Weyron simply scoffed in response and said, "Speaking of which Why aren't there fried chicken and stuff inside the ga? I an Even the ones sold in the Adventurer's Guild's Market were considered premium-grade food by the NPCsconsidering the fact that they are just mostly roasted or stewed with so vegetables No wonder you got fed up eating the sa food over and over again."
Pedro could only rub the back of his head and said, "Cooking itself was a difficult skill or ability to master. Nowadays, it might seem easy because of the internet and stuff You can just search what kind of dish you want to cook and it would just automatically give you the 'tested' recipes of different people. However In ancient tis, similar to the environnt of the ga, cooking is mostly learned through the idea of apprenticeship. And only after being able to cook nurous tis would they be able to master cooking a dish! Thus, the concept of variance in the taste and availability of food is not profound."
"I see" Weyron nodded his head in response. At that mont, he was on deep thoughtprocessing the information that Pedro revealed. And it was only after a few seconds, was Weyron able to notice the smirk on Pedro's face as if Pedro had sothing mischievous in mind.
That said, Pedro did not need to tell Weyron what it was. Weyron kept thinking repeatedly about what Pedro just said until he thought of sothing that would be able to make Pedro smirk like that. Weyron smirked in response and said, "Perhaps Cousin Peds Are you planning to modernize the cooking thods inside the ga??? Don't tell that the Adventurer's Guild has a role to play in it?"
"What do you think, Wey?" Pedro asked with a mischievous smirk. Then, he added, saying, "Have you forgotten how food affected the world in the past?"
Weyron simply took a sip of his soft drinks in response before saying, "Only in the past? Even now, cousin Peds! Food greatly affects the world! Rember how fast-food restaurants were able to dominate the world? Should we also do it in the ga?"
Pedro simply shook his head in response and said, "We can't do it for now. We are already short of hands and we even dare to expand our ventures in the ga in other ways. We would fall sooner or later if we beca too greedy! Let's settle on what we can do first. Then, we can proceed with such things later on."
"A trump card then" Weyron murmured in response as he took another sip of his soft drinks.
Pedro simply smiled in response and said, "I guess You can put it that way."
Weyron simply forced out a smile in response and said, "For so reason I think that I am now afraid of how genius my cousin might be!"
"Genius?" Pedro chuckled in response. Then, he drank his water before saying, "I'm not a genius! I'm just a lucky guy with lots of great ideas! Besides Such ideas would have been trash if I did not have the capability to turn them into actions. So I am definitely just a lucky man than a genius."
"Yeah! Yeah! Whatever! Tell that to the dogs, they might even believe you say that!" Weyron in a mocking manner as he took another piece of fried chicken. At the sa ti, since Pedro had also finished his second piece of fried chicken, Weyron glanced towards Pedro and asked, "Do you want another chicken?"
"Yeah! Thanks!" Pedro nodded with a smile.
At this mont, they noticed that their grandma was starting to get annoyedprobably because they were talking sothing about a ga in front of her. That said, it was inevitable for them to talk about such things. Thus, they simply go out of the topic from ti to ti until their grandma left after having lunch with them.
Pedro's mother, Mrs. Caroline Armaz, went together with their grandma and returned to their newly bought ho in a building nearby. Thus, Pedro was left with his Aunt Veronica and his Cousin Weyron at this mont. And with her grandmother away, they can now discuss ga-related mattersfree of worry.
"Cousin Peds, you've earned a lot of money from the auctioned skill page! It's more than enough to pay the shaless requests of that woman!" Weyron grumbled to Pedro. Then, he said, "She may be strong, but I don't like her attitude of asking too much money just by knowing the fact that we're are going to represent your family's company. So I don't think that I would be having her under my guild or should I say gaming organization."
Pedro could only scratch his head in response and asked, "Are you sure? I an She should, at the least, have a reason behind her decisions. Besides She's speaking on behalf of a group of people. How can you be sure that she's the one who'd be benefiting from that all?"
"Still" Weyron shook his head in response and said, "It does not justify her shaless actions. It's not like she's one of those pro-VR playerswhom, if I may say, were just asking for hundreds of thousands at the least. In Philippine Peso, on top of that! So I am still firm on my decision! If possible, I don't want to handle her, nor the players with her. I have already t many people like them, and they were all the sa! There would only be conflicts between and them in the future if that happened."
"I understand," Pedro said in response. Then, he added, saying, "That said I can't let her join my n if she can't even obtain your trust and approval! So, I'll have to leave them under your observation first. Test them if you deed needed. And if you think that they could at the least be trusted with so of our secrets, only then could they join my organization. On the other hand If they are not trustworthy, then I can only establish another sub-gaming organization and use them in so ways. Either way I believe that there's more of a benefit than a loss in that deal."
"Noted," Weyron said in a cold tone as he proceeded to the next topic. He said, "On another note The Ga Developers of Bearth Online told us in advance that a simulated competition would be held to celebrate the official launch of the ga. An exhibition ga to be exact! So Well-Known and influential Gaming Organizations and Personalities were invited to participate in the said event. Since we are related to affiliated companies with the Ga Developers, we were given a special invitation to participate in the first run of the pro-league competition of the ga as so kind of dark horse. Well It's safe to say that the Ga Devs wants to use this chance to give back the support that the affiliated companies gave to them by using that stage as so sort of advertisent."
"Simulated Competition, huh?" Pedro asked with a frown on his face. Then, he asked, "Did they send the details about the chanics of the competition?"
Weyron shook his head in response and said, "Nah! We simply got inford about the said event and the fact that we were invited to participate. Other than that, there's nothing else said in the email. I am also yet to talk to Uncle about it I even tried asking around to no avail."
Pedro simply sighed in response and said, "I'll see what I can do. I hope that I can get father to probe more details about it to the Ga Developers so we can prepare beforehand."
"As expected of the young master!" Weyron said with a mocking smile.
Pedro simply laughed in response and said, "Young master my ass! Rember that your gaming organization is still a separate one from mine! If you're not strong enough when that competition cos, don't co crying to after eating other's dust! Hahahaha!"
Weyron simply flicked his tongue and said, "Tsk! My n might not be that strong in your eyes But they are brave enough to fight anyone! So Don't underestimate us too much, cousin Peds!"
Pedro simply chuckled and said, "We'll see"
