Chapter 357: Second Evaluation
( Leo’s POV )
Leo could get almost no administrative work done in the Barony with the influx of new players as for hours he had to work on instructing the local law enforcement on how they should handle the newbies.
He created a guide for them, something simple which would help them purchase weapons, go on adventures in the wild and find a place to stay for the night, however, all this took time and a few hours passed by.
[ System Notification :- The second evaluation is underway, you have 10 minutes to log-out of the game, or else you will be booted automatically. ]
By the time Leo was done handling the newbie influx situation, the time for second evaluation was already upon him, forcing him to log-out of the game without getting any real work done.
**********
( Back to reality, The Arc Ship )
Leo was extremely pissed as he returned to reality after being forced to log-out, as he had never had a more unproductive day in gaming.
“Oh my god! Oh my god! We will all move to section C soon!Bye-Bye ‘red’ sector D robes, say hello to the summer fashion! Yellow robes!” Amanda excitedly said, as she rushed out of her room with a big smile on her face, only to find Leo frowning deeply.
“What’s up with you? Why do you have a long face on?” She asked, when Luke too emerged from his room, with the same long face.
“The newbies are insufferable. Some idiots barged into my silver mines today, claiming that it had to be some hidden dungeon since it’s marked on the local map.
Can you believe it Leo? Those bastards wasted my entire day” Luke complained, as just like Leo he too was fed up with the newbie problem.
“Newbie? What newbie?” Amanda asked, as being inside her forge all-day, she had no idea about the affairs of the outside world.
It took a while for Leo to explain to her, about the newbies and how Terra Nova Online had seen a new influx of players, however, while he sounded pissed, his anger was only superficial and did not run too deep.
“Do you think mother will be within the Unity Empire too? Do you think we can meet her within the game?” Leo asked, as his question made Luke ponder deeply.
Currently the exact facts of newbies entering the world of Terra Nova were not known, however, Luke too felt that there was a fair chance that they could reunite with their mother within the world of Terra Nova.
“I think we have a good shot, but I don’t want to build hopes until we have confirmed that she is indeed in-there.
But I will start searching for her within the game starting tomorrow–” Luke assured, as Leo promised to do the same.
[ “Operator Announcement : All passengers please pay attention to the color that is displayed on your ankle monitor.
The second evaluation is now complete and the color of your ankle bracelet will now reveal whether you are promoted, demoted or will stay within the same tier”. ]
The operator announcement rang over the speakers, as immediately after, Leo saw the color of his ankle bracelet turn from ‘red’ to ‘yellow’ indicating that he had been promoted to sector C.
“Let’s go!” He said, before glancing towards Luke and Amanda’s bracelets which had also turned yellow.
“Yep, it seems like all three of us have made it! Just like we expected” Luke said, with a big smile on his face as he invited Leo and Amanda in for a big group hug.
” Yayy! Hugs from my brother in law!” Amanda said, hugging Luke and Leo joined in too to complete the group hug.
“Well, since Sector C apartments are single occupancy. I guess this is it for us living together, however, I’ll forever cherish the memory of us living together, as this has indeed been a memorable and fun experience for me.
I’m also glad that the two of you have found love in each other and I hope that with the two of you now getting more privacy, I won’t run into you guys making out every morning–” Luke said, as he gave a slightly emotional speech without sounding too cringe.
“Hahaha…. Yep you won’t–” Amanda said, sticking her tongue out, while Leo lightly coughed, adjusting his voice.
[ “Operator Announcement : Please pack-up and proceed to your new allotments and once you are settled in, please check-out your new job descriptions that you will be expected to take over starting from tomorrow” ]
The operator urged everyone to get a move, as Luke let go of Amanda and Leo, as the trio went to their respective sleeping quarters and picked up their luggage bags which they had already kept packed.
Together, the three of them left for Sector C, where they first reported at the Sector C common grounds where the Sector leader was holding an address for all the newcomers.
The address went on for a good ten minutes where the sector leader talked about the ‘Middle Class’ culture of Sector C, which wasn’t poor, or ultra-luxurious, but somewhere in the middle at a point which was enough for a dignified living.
Afterwards, he directed everyone to check their new allotments, which everyone did from the massive board attached beside the common ground.
‘C-1001,1002,1003’ Leo read the apartment numbers and realized that himself, Amanda and Luke were going to be neighbors.
“Hey, we are going to be neighbors, hahaha that’s convenient–” Luke muttered, before realizing that his apartment was C-1002 which was exactly between the two lovers.
“Oh…. I’m the third wheel, again” Luke said, realizing that he had become the third wheel yet again, however, since he had no say in what apartment was allocated to him, he could only accept it with a shrug of his shoulders.
