Chapter 113 - Sending Themselves to Us
Forums, especially the official forums, were commonly treated by any ga company and players as a dium for them to communicate with one another. The ga company looked through and collated the players’ suggestions and ssages via the forums. They also released certain announcents on the forums to keep the players updated and gauge their reactions to those news.
As for the forum moderators, they were made up of the ga company’s staff and hired professionals with experience in the aspect. But whichever category they belonged, they would always obtain this sort of insider information one step ahead of the average players.
Brother Assist managed to establish a lot of connections in the community of forum moderators owing to his active participation in many major online gas’ forums. Parallel World’s moderators were no exception. A close forum moderator friend of Brother Assist in this ga inford him that Parallel World had been currently doing well, so the official release of it to the market might begin soon.
“Oh? Will they introduce a new, huge feature or change during it?” Young Master Han asked. Ga companies usually presented new, large features or changes during the official release of their gas so as to maintain the attention of the current players as well as to attract new gars.
Brother Assist smiled, “Given Parallel World’s monopoly of the VRMMO market, why does the ga company need to do such gimmick?”
“True,” Young Master Han nodded his head in agreent.
“Officially releasing to the market only ans that they won’t limit the amount of accounts available. The biggest change will just be the player influx in this ga,” Brother Assist said, adding, “Besides all that, my friend didn’t say anything else.”
“Having more players is a good thing. As long as it doesn’t break the server,” Young Master Han muttered. Resistance to change was sothing ingrained into long-ti MMO players. While players hoped that there would be more population in a ga to create a bustling environnt, they would also worry that too much population in it would result in lag and similar server problems. It seed that players did not have it easy either, as they could only live on with these conflicting thoughts.
On the other side of the room, Gu Fei was being bodily held down by Royal God Call and War Without Wounds as they grilled him for details. “Information! Information!” both demanded.
“What information?!” Gu Fei was feeling annoyed at these two.
“The nas of the babes; their personality!” the two persisted.
“I don’t know anything other than their IGNs right now; personality is even more out of the question,” Gu Fei told them. He could not help but think of Lie Lie with her volatile personality. He wondered how these two would react when faced with a lady that had such personality.
“You’re so useless! You’ve been in that guild for quite so ti now, yet you don’t even have a bit of information about those beauties?” Royal God Call moaned.
“Miles, it’s not that this big bro here is mocking you, but you’re really too much of a goody-goody! Look at Royal. He’s young, yet his grasp on this stuff is already quite high,” War Without Wounds said.
Gu Fei’s idealized image of War Without Wounds had already been extinguished as he helplessly shrugged his shoulders.
“Forget it. Just tell us the nas of those babes you know!” the two demanded.
Getting the ladies’ nas was easy for Gu Fei, as he only had to read out every IGN listed on the guild tab to the two n. However, nas in online gas did not just function as such; they were equivalent to acquiring a person’s phone number in reality. Once a player found out the IGN of another, he or she could add that person as a friend, allowing the player to endlessly harass the other with ssages. Thinking of that, Gu Fei was even more afraid to casually give these two the ladies’ IGNs, even if the na belonged to Lie Lie whom he did not like.
“What’s wrong? Spit it out!” Royal God Call asked with a puzzled look on his face. He had just fished out a booklet and a pen out of his pile of newly bought booklets and pens. A neat title was written on the booklet’s cover page: ‘Babes Information Booklet’. Flipping over to the first page, his pen was poised to write down anything Gu Fei would say. And yet, Gu Fei remained unforthcoming.
“What’s wrong Miles? Aren’t you even willing to help us a lil’ bit?!” War Without Wounds’ expression turned cold. It was obvious that in his and Royal God Call’s hearts, any information about the ladies should be shared and not be kept as a secret.
“Sigh... I’ll help you guys ask, I guess!” Gu Fei was really helpless. He had no wish to privately leak other people’s information, but he could not say no to Royal God Call and War Without Wounds, either. His only choice was to directly ask for the consent of those ladies.
The ladies in the next room did not simply idle. When Gu Fei left, they quickly began their discussion.
“Lie Lie, isn’t that guy the Priest at the north gate earlier?” Ice Glaze asked Lie Lie.
“You’re right!” Lie Lie nodded her head, “I’ve seen him before, too. He’s very arrogant, and he brought a Thief on Stealth with him. He’s insane! Sis Luo Luo, perhaps there’s a Thief on Stealth peeping behind Young Master Han when you ran after him earlier!”
“It’s possible,” Luo Luo nodded her head. She asked, “Did you see what he was doing over by the north gate?”
“He’s helping Miles along with a few other guys,” Lie Lie replied.
“You’re saying Young Master Han and his few companions were there?” Luo Luo’s eyes widened.
“No! I asked soone among them. He said he’s a friend of Miles. Isn’t that right, Xiao Bing?” Lie Lie asked Ice Glaze for confirmation.
Ice Glaze nodded her head, “It’s an Archer that said that.”
“Archer? Royal God Call?” Luo Luo asked.
“That’s the one!” Lie Lie and Ice Glaze exclaid together, “Luo Luo, how did you know?”
“I briefly t soone with that IGN over at the tavern near the city gate. He’s soone Miles knows. He left with Miles, afterward,” Luo Luo explained.
“Royal God Call? Isn’t he supposed to be a Mage?” July asked in bafflent, asking, “Does his na have the sa pronunciation?”
“Yes. Sis July, do you know soone who goes by that na?” Lie Lie and Ice Glaze asked.
“There’s a famous Mage in the online gaming community called Royal God Call,” July shared, “He’s considered as a top-class expert.”
“Could that Close Combat Mage be Royal God Call?” Lie Lie was visibly excited.
July and Luo Luo glanced at each other before replying in unison, “Impossible!”
“Why? Isn’t he an expert Mage?” Lie Lie was perplexed.
“Xiao Bing, did you see that na before on the experience leaderboard for Mage?” Luo Luo asked Ice Glaze.
“I don’t think so...” Ice Glaze replied.
“That’s not odd. His IGN got taken away by that Archer, right? Naturally, he had to change ID!” Lie Lie said.
“That’s not possible,” July was certain.
“Why?” Lie Lie did not understand.
July and Luo Luo looked at each other once more before finally saying, “Because rumor has it that that guy’s a total perv. He’ll hit on any female players as long as he can lay his eyes on them. His most famous line is: ‘Big sis, want lil bro here to grind with you?’ Do you think that Close Combat Mage is that sort of guy?”
Lie Lie shook her head frantically.
“That Archer Royal God Call, did he call you guys big sis when you t him?” July asked Luo Luo and the other two ladies.
“Nope,” the three answered.
“But... He’s indeed sowhat like that...” Ice Glaze offered, adding, “He ca over on his accord to introduce himself, and he proceeded to stick around and Lie Lie. He even tried to chat us up.”
Luo Luo nodded her head, “Now that we’re in a full-imrsion environnt, he can’t possibly chase after won and call them big sis, since that won’t be cute at all!”
“By the looks of things, that Royal God Call person is indeed the sa one, except he changed his job class this ti,” July said.
“That sounds about right,” Luo Luo nodded her head in agreent.
“Since they’re all friends of Miles, why would he need to employ them?” July said.
“That’s how it is with fighting! Since he didn’t have enough n after calling his friends, of course he’d hire so helpers. That still makes sense,” Luo Luo justified, believing what she said yet also withholding her suspicions.
“Do these n know one another?” July continued to ask Lie Lie.
Lie Lie only scratched her head in ignorance, and it was Ice Glaze who said, “Seems like it. I rember there’s a Warrior that ca over and called Royal God Call by his na. That probably ans they’re acquainted, right?”
“How many were there?” Luo Luo asked.
“Four. The Archer is Royal God Call, that Priest, and there’s also a Warrior and a Knight,” Ice Glaze recalled.
“If we include that Close Combat Mage and that Thief, there are exactly six people!” Luo Luo said, adding, “ And Young Master’s Elite rcenary group is also made up of six people!”
“So you’re saying they’re mbers of Young Master’s Elite?” July asked. As Luo Luo nodded her head in confirmation, July asked further, “So that ans Miles actually knows the mbers of that group. Why did he say he didn’t?”
“If they’re friends, Miles is probably helping them hide their identity... Or perhaps, Miles is also a mber of the rcenary group. If that’s the case, then Miles is definitely that Close Combat Mage!” Luo Luo could barely contain her excitent.
“Anything but that, please!” Lie Lie began to cry, saying, “With how he is giving the cold shoulder right now—”
“Don’t be hasty. This is just a guess; we still need to confirm it!” Luo Luo consoled Lie Lie. Lie Lie had always been idolizing the Close Combat Mage.
“If we want to confirm this, it depends entirely on that Royal God Call person,” July said.
“That person. There shan’t be problems if we show ourselves to him, right?” Luo Luo wavered.
“Who’s willing to get close to that perverted guy?” July asked the floor.
None of the ladies volunteered.
“According to what I know, he’s not a big—” Just as Luo Luo began to say this, the other three promptly nominated her by saying: “Then, you go!”
“Oh, that’s right! That new mber Will-low seems to know him,” Luo Luo quickly tried to nominate another lady.
“No. The fewer people who know about this, the better. They’ve painstakingly hidden their identity all this ti. Just our inquiry is already unwanted; let’s not increase the number of people in the know,” July rejected.
“Looks like we can only draw lots for this,” Luo Luo swept her gaze around.
July also gazed around before finally sighing, “Let’s just draw among the three of us. Even if Xiao Bing draws it by chance, I’m afraid she won’t be able to ask anything.”
Ice Glaze blushed scarlet.
Just as they were about to pick out the paper slips, July suddenly happily said, “Wait a minute.”
“What?”
“‘I have two friends who found out that I’m a mber of Athyst Rebirth. They hope for to introduce you ladies to them’,” July read out, “Miles sent this ssage.”
“Without even asking, I’m sure one of the two friends he ntioned is that Royal God Call,” Luo Luo was ecstatic.
“Looks like they’ve sent themselves to us,” July laughed.
“Call them over; we must grill them and make clear of everything this ti!” Luo Luo said.
“What if Miles is indeed the Close Combat Mage, what will I do?!” Lie Lie started to cry once more.
“You’ll have no chance at all, then,” Luo Luo lowered her head and chuckled.
