Project New World - Chapter 47

Albert meets back up with Kana and James after breakfast and they all agree to put the reputation point under the party name after a bit discussion. Albert told his father’s opinion and Kana said that Anna’s party put the reputation point they got from clearing the tutorial dungeon in their party leader name.

She also told them that the 3rd beta test participant doesn’t necessarily have freedom like the students and they are all assigned into a party from the start so it’s more like military camp rather than gaming experience for her. She is free to go by herself after she finishes the tutorial world but she also needs to turn all her equipment back to the party since it was registered as a party’s property.

Hearing Kana’s explanation, all party member has a disgusted face imagining Anna’s condition. Alice directly sends a couple of messages to Anna via her comlink telling her to level up quickly and join their group later on in Eden.

The party proceeds back to the village hall to register their party and put reputation points under their party name.

“What is our party name? Boney and friend?”James ask the member with a big smirk

“Not again, James.” Albert’s brain instantly short-circuited realizing he has to pick a good name with the guys

“Whyyyy???!!! It was a good name! We can use BONE-VOYAGE as our mascot.” James retort

“4 and a half-man? There’s 4 of us and BONE-VOYAGE can be count as a half” Kana shows the party what terrible naming sense is

“Ay, you forgot about Albert’s snake. 4 and a half-man plus beast?” James making thing worse

“What would happen when Anna join us? 5 and a half-man plus beast?”Alice said the whole sentence holding her laugh watching the trio who have a terrible naming sense

Albert argues over and over rejecting the terrible name James and Kana offer one after another. At one point Kana suggest Ramen Party as their team name and making Luna their mascot. At that point, even James didn’t back her up when Albert denies the idea.

“What about Super Heroes in Training?” James suggest another name for the team

“I’m kinda ashamed to admit that I thought it was a good idea for a while.” Albert denies him again but his defense is already shaken

Alice watches the whole drama on the side and chip in every now and then teasing the members making it harder for them to decide the name. But even after sometimes it was kinda sad and not so funny anymore.

“Can we change our party name later? We’re still in a tutorial village and we already waste half an hour here coming up with a terrible name one after another. Can we just pick something simple first like team Victory or team Brave and change it later on?” Alice decided to put an end to their misery

Realizing they are wasting a lot of time coming up with a party name instead of hunting the party agrees to just put a temporary name for their party. Kana walks to one of the receptionists to ask them whether it was possible to change their party name later on.

“You are free to change the name of your party but you risk losing some of the employer recognition. As a new establish team being recognized by your employer is one of the important things as most employers only hire the team they knew well to do their quest.”

“When you reserve a quest for your party the employer wouldn’t know your personal identification and only know the name of the party that reserve it. Most people also thought that changing your party name means changing in leadership so even if you inform your employer, later on, there could also be a risk of that.”

The receptionist explains the disadvantage for us doing so as some people would rather pick a new establish team rather than a team who often change their leadership. Albert calmly explains that they would only use the temporary name in the tutorial village and would permanently choose one for later in Eden as they still have another member who would join later on in Eden.

James insists on the name Super Hero in Training and since they going to change it later anyway the rest of the party didn’t argue much and decide to make him happy for this time.

Albert registers Super Hero in Training as their party name and asks the village receptionist for an item catalog to exchange with their village token. The receptionist transfers the item catalog data to Albert comlink and proceeds to explain how does the item catalog work.

“There are 4 main item categories which you could choose to exchange in the Village Treasury. First is the Equipment category which includes armor, weapon, and accessory; The Consumable category consists mostly of hunting supply, high-grade potions, and unique potions, etc. Forging, tailoring, and any kind of material could be found in Material category and last but not least Miscellaneous category.

“You can filter the item category even further with your comlink to make it easier for you to compare similar items. Make sure to exchange the item you want as we don’t have any return policy and spend all your village tokens before you leave the tutorial village for good as the tokens would hold no value in any other places.” The receptionist remind the party to not bring any of the village tokens to Eden.

Albert and the party move out of the way as they are blocking others who want to talk to the village receptionist. Albert moves and shares the item catalog with the rest of the party so they can look for anything they fancy. Albert skims through the item catalog looking for anything that could help them level up faster or become even stronger.

The party skims trough the equipment category first as the same in any other game; Equipment is almost as important if not more important than your level.
