Temporal Pearls

Chapter 18: New Features

"I can't believe we are doing this. We can't level up those Skills as fast as you. We have to do it over and over before we get EXP." Adamina complained.

The group of eight people were revising what to do next wh the update was over and Seth empathized that everyone should have his miscellaneous skills maxed.

"I know, but I still think they are important," Seth said.

"Well, I have no time for that. Currtly, we are exploring an abandoned house that has an underg passage. There is a little drop from monsters, but anything they drop is just an old patch of paper or a blueprint of some building." Tim said boringly.

Something clicked in Seth and asked hurriedly, "Do you still have them?"

Seeing Seth interested he said, "I only have one parchmt. It wasn't complete. There is a need for three more volumes."

"If we can get it, can we analyze it?" Seth wondered.

"My Bronze Cabin can connect to his and obtain it. As long as he has it on his character!" Anna commt

"How!" They all asked her, surprised.

Anna stared at the pair of sev eyes gazing at her."Because my Bronze Cabin can!" She said, as a matter of fact

The eight people in the discussion were members of one big family.

The rise of Anna made them unite to support each other. Players among them joined the club and the aim was to help Anna in whatever way they could to succeed.

Sadly, they were all in differt locations. None of them has the same coloured outfit in-game.

Making them assume they wer't ev on the same contint. But that did not stop them from cooperating.

They share ideas and insights so that they can have more understanding of the game.

At the same time, they agreed on keeping some secrets to themselves that are not worth sharing.

Bala Ark stared at the angry gazes. He was tall, meters with black eyes. He wasn't intimidated at all.

"Why are we here?" An old man asked. He was one of the world's elders.

The world elders were in another meeting together with other people. The distress call from Bala made them come in hurry. But most of them were here using hologram technology.

Along the way, they try to find the reason for the call, but to no avail!

"You will all know. Doctor Remy please!" He moved to the side as an old doctor activated a supermassive scream. It features how successful their project was.

Omega has stopped croaching toward Earth and ev moved back to its previous orbit.

That was as a result of more than 3 billion people that logged in to the Asteroids Online game six hours a day.

A mature lady asked, she was among the elders and was trying her best to stop her hand from trembling!

Seth stared at the picture on the Smart Glass in their meeting room. Not just him but everyone was dumbfounded. What they were seeing was a Building Parchmt that Tim said they were farming.

In the game, it was all well and dandy, everyone can read it and understand but outside the game, all they see is an ali language.

The normal English that was readable was just a file of symbols now.

"Maybe the data was corrupted wh Anna downloaded it!" Tim commts.

"No, from here I can see it perfectly fine," Anna said, still in her Bronze Cabin as she can see them from her virtual office.

Though the game was updating, Anna's Virtual Office was not affected at all.

"There is only one conclusion. In the game, we are using another language. Think about it, we meet with people from differt parts of the world and yet we still speak and understand each other." Adamina reasoned.

"I concur!" Seth agreed with her reasoning. His hand was crammed with A5 as he was busy copying the diagram from the parchmt. He wanted to test something. That is if an in-game object can be useful in the real world.

It's a wild idea but he was going to see the d of it. Either prove himself wrong, or

right!
