MMORPG: The Tales of Souls - 298 Returning to the mansion
“Number XXX !!!!”
“Number XXX !!!!”
“I am selling a number to the queue !!! My number is XXX ”
“Buy my number !!! It will be lucky for you !!!! ”
“Don’t buy my competitor’s number, buy my number !!!!”
…
A large crowd was in front of the mansion on the east side. They were interested in making the Special Instance and trying to receive the mansion as a reward.
But many of them were just curious, while a small part is the players with the reserved slot in the queue. While another party was selling a place in the queue.
At the entrance, there were two guards calling players’ numbers. Whenever a player fails at the Special Instance, the next number is called.
The crowd was large, but they need to respect the space so that players can enter the mansion. The distance between the door and the group of players is about two meters.
“Number XXX !!!”
“I will buy that number !!! My guild will pay a great price for that number !!! ”
“My guild pays a higher price !!!”
…
Whenever the guard announces a new number for the player or group to enter the mansion area. The players of the powerful guilds demonstrate to buy this number, thus, a large number of prices are heard by the poorest players.
The number of poor players who got rich from selling numbers in the queue was many, as they formed a giant queue in the city hall and took the numbers in advance after the videos of the Special Instance were shown. They were smart to realize that there would be profits and they did it.
The arrears were those who received less money.
The price of the numbers was about fifteen platinum coins, the lowest price, as the price to reserve the number was ten platinum coins. Players need some profit.
The closer the called number approaches, the more the value is increased, as many groups compete to see who will be the buyer of the number. In general, many confusions happen at this time.
…
“Number XXX” The guard called, but no one came.
Sometime later…
“Isn’t that player here ??”
“He took the number, but is he not going to the instance ??”
“The player who has the number XXX !!! I will buy the number from you !!!! I pay thirty platinum coins !!!!!! ”
“Sell that number to me !!!!! I pay fifty platinum coins !!! ”
…
Many players started shouting in an attempt to get the player as number XXX to appear to sell. But he did not appear.
“Repeating !!!! Number XXX!!!!! ”
“Isn’t that player here ?? !!!! Why did he get the number if he is not going to enter the instance ?? !!! ”
“Damn greedy !!! You got the number but you’re not using it !!!! You should give that number to someone else !!!! ”
…
Some more time later …
“Last call to the number XXX. If the number does not appear in the next five minutes, I will call the next one !!!! ” The doorman shouted again.
“Who is this stupid player ??? Why hasn’t he appeared yet ??? !!! ”
“I want to buy that number and I demand that you show up !!!!”
…
Many cries of dissatisfaction were heard. The big shots were trying to demand that this person show up so he can sell the number to them. But it did not work, as he has not yet appeared.
Sometime later…
It was only a minute before time ran out, the big shots were a little nervous, as they wanted to get into the instance, but they couldn’t get a number before. So they could only buy from others.
As the person with the called number did not appear, the big shots started to buy the next number.
Thirty seconds … Twenty seconds … Ten seconds …
Suddenly, a masked person appeared in the crowd and walked to the entrance. Nobody stopped him because they thought he was just another salesman. They thought that because the player’s clothes were common and he had a mask covering his face.
But when he passed the crowd and appeared in front of the guard, everyone understood that he is the owner of the called number. But with only five seconds to go, no one had a chance to buy his number.
“Do any of you know this person? He looks like someone too weak to be able to try to complete the instance, besides, he is alone. Is he crazy ?? ”
“He must be some crazy person who spent platinum coins to play with. He must be someone rich ”
…
Many comments about the identity of the masked player echoed in the crowd. None of them knew the information about him because he hid his name and any other information.
“Are you the number XXX?” The guard asked angrily. He had to wait a long time until he arrived.
“Yes. I apologize for the delay “The player apologized.
“Give me the number and you can enter”
“Yes” The player handed the number to the guard and the door was opened.
When the player entered the property, he ran directly into the mansion. The door was closed shortly thereafter.
The player’s image disappeared into the tall grass.
…
Inside the mansion …
“You can go out” Several lights came out of the player’s finger and became some women and beasts. They were Nina, Sophie, Alexali, Silali, and the contract beasts.
The masked player was Liu Yang, he was late because some things happened in the real world and he needed to do something urgently. He had a stomachache and had to go to the toilet.
“Young master, what are we going to do now? Are we going to enter that place again? ” Silali was ready to venture into the water again.
“We still have a few days to go back to that place. But before that, we can explore this mansion more and see if we can find something that can help us travel in the ocean “Liu Yang commented.
As he booked a number before he could re-enter the Special Instance, he had time to explore the mansion.
“Boring… Young master, this mansion has nothing of value. There is only dust and nothing else. ” Silali wanted some fun, but that had to wait.
The mansion was not cleaned and remained full of dust and cobwebs.
“We need to do this. We need more clues about the ocean. There may be clues inside this mansion or on the property around it. Let’s look together ”
“Boring …” Silali was complaining about doing something boring again.
“Silali, we can explore the ocean later. First, we need to find clues. Let’s look at the other places in the mansion that we haven’t seen before “Liu Yang and his group explored the exterior of the mansion and its surroundings.
