The Player’s System - Chapter 252

More Than One Pebble

“They are more than one Pebble. Seven pebbles in fact. And I think Pebble is not perfect, currently they are similar of mountain. The guards could capture any of them. Gueman transfered them in his company cleverly. Do you still this they are pebbles?” Kyle side glanced.

It was not fault of his assistant. Kyle started to underestimate his enemies so did his staff. Now that he was active the staff would also change their presets.

…

There were two days in the opening of the fourth level. After the dinner team members got busy. Jake entered in his suite. His practice started.

Junan sat in his room. He knew every next level would give better understanding to the opponents. They would be able to make better decisions for the sake of teams and how to complete quests.

Until now the third team took advantage of each level and received the benefits. Junan was clear it wouldn’t remain same. The opponent teams might snatch half of the quests at some point of levels.

It might take some time however the present advantage would soon change because the court accepted the request. The third team would not take part in the Six to Ten levels. Junan knew what it means for a team.

With the time the competition would take different form. The stronger opponent teams would become equal rivals.

He wanted to work on the team as well as the professions. Only the professional abilities could create difference. Junan collected guides which were released by the developers in limited edition.

The guides were similar of any other game however Junan knew they must have given some clue randomly. It was always beneficial to go through guides. Experienced players never deny the importance of guides.

He knew if he asked others to read guides then half of them would skip it.

Ahram went toward the pool. The assistant staff hired instructor for him immediately. Third team has lot of things to do before the opening of the fourth level. The added suggestions increased requirements to be considered fit for the fourth level.

Sashi could not focus her attention. She broke the keys of the keyboard and went to request for the replacement of the keyboard. None of them felt the space congested or limited for their freedom. They could wander anywhere in the five floors on the building.

Sashi decided to walk in indoor play area. She liked table tennis. As she reached indoor play area, a female staff welcomed her. “Miss I can assist if you want to play indoor game. How may I help you?” She politely asked.

“I want to play table tennis however who will be second player?” Sashi replied looking at the grand play halls under the sight.

“Miss if you want to play table tennis then a robot will assist you. Here come, I will set the normal play for you.” The female staff explained and walked toward the robot. With her voice message, the robot turned active and immediately adjusted the normal play functions.

Sashi admired how everything was under her approach. She didn’t belong to poor family however she might not afford indoor play area and a robot to play.

At the back of the table tennis space, one could see through the big window, a man wearing shorts ready to jump in the pool.

Sashi played first half very well. The robot appreciated her gameplay. However little while her eyes fell across window. The ball came and hit on her nose. She cried with the pain. The robot halted. The female staff hurriedly came to help and apology.

“No, no need to apology. I lost focus.” Her nose bled. The female staff took her to the initial medication. The bleeding stopped. Sashi came back in the play hall to talk with robot. “You are best table tennis companion. I will come back tomorrow.” For her it was necessary to tell the robot that it was all fine.

Ahram heard her cry however saw that the staff took her for medication. Also the instructor was called in the evening, it would be rude if he leave it like that. He thought to visit Sashi after the class.

Three people turned the gym in to mess. Well not all three but particularly Clark and Orin. Clark brought several pack of juices after the first set of exercise.

He was sweating with heavy workout. Albert shook his head. He slowly worked on all machines then went in the lobby to take break. He sat there having big glass of shake. Meanwhile Sashi came there to have some juice drink as well.

Albert saw her slightly miserable condition. “What happened miss Sashi? “Are you alright?” Albert asked worried. The girl was part of team they were working hard to remain fit and healthy in order to play live portal.

“Ah I was playing table tennis… the ball hit my nose. I am fine though.” Of course she wouldn’t not explain how sorry she was feeling. To look at that particular man she lost her focus. She thought to not overthink anymore for the sake of professionalism.

Albert did not notice her changing expressions. He was minding healthy milkshake. After resting little bit Albert went back to do the last set of exercise and return in his suite.

Sashi forced herself to go back in her suite and rest.

…

“I don’t think this set of exercise the fats of my belly.” Orin worriedly asked Clark. He was taking bunch of juice packs and many other wantons along with exercise.

“Good buddy you should not stuff your mouth when doing this exercise. The fats would increase. And the belly would look like drum.” Clark laughed.

Orin perhaps took it to heart, he rushed back and handed food packs to the kitchen staff. “I rather starve than to have drum belly.” He murmured under breath.

The late evening all of them went in their suite to take rest.
