The Player's System

Chapter 161 - Introduction

Introduction

The developers created this level to grant some extra perks to whatever team was able to do at least half of the tasks in this portal. The reward of Theola was the locked box placed at the completion of the level. Whoever got this box and use fourteen cards to open it, that particular team could collect the rewards.

In simple words the fourteen cards were the fourteen keys of the reward box. Losing single key meant they would not be able to get the rewards. It was tough because the fourteen cards were thrown in the fourteen dangerous places of the Theola.

Theola happened to be the unrestrained place where the unexpected dangers were hidden.

The team members before setting feet in the field wanted to talk about the possible methods they might go through during this level.

Half of them were oblivious about the Theola. Well it was normal for them. They would explore it eventually.

"We are going to collect fourteen cards to get some reward. At least this time we are not blind to follow something in the dark." Orin spoke confident.

They nodded and walked toward the field. "This time again they might have chosen the same path that would open up one by one for further progress, if I am not wrong." Clark added.

All of them were ready for the adventure. The bulky Clark walked at the left side of the team while Albert walked at the right side. Both were sharp in the controls so they could answer the attack of the enemies.

The entrances were different however other two teams were also in the same part of the Theola.

Jake did not need to ask for the clue when they already know the main focus. The developers made it easy to find the queue in which they would not get confuse as to where they should look for the next card.

They were in the Oak Park. It was the first area where the first card was placed however it was up to the players to search it. The Oak park was filled with the blood thirsty animals.

The card was placed at the unknown den. It could potentially puzzle the players because the animals disliked human appearance in the Oak Park and the direct path to the card was unknown.

Some of the humans were hidden in the Oak Park in order to get the skin of few animals. The card was made of jewels if they happened to know the presence of such precious card they would steal it and runaway.

Each card was guarded by the powerful boss. Each boss harnessed several groups of the faunas.

The team members walked looking for the clue where they could get the card or the whereabouts of the card.

The Oak Park was rightly named because big Oak trees were everywhere. The fog covered them from ground toward the upward.

The team members could see the fog. When they walked and noticed the fog moved away from their front however it covered the empty area. Junan dipped his hand in fog. It was not similar of the winter fog but dripping from the hands as if some liquid.

"It might not be poisonous or is it?" he asked. Jake coughed. He remembered his previous strategy. The team head wanted him to sniff the air and tell the same way he did back then.

Jake silently called task panel for the sake of the team head. The screen appeared in front of him.

[Area: Oak Park a place of wonders. The level of danger is visible rather than hidden.

[The liquid fog is the life of the Oak trees in the area. Without liquid fog the Oak park would get destroyed and eventually the faunas would show up to kill the one who destroyed the Oak Park]

[Warning: Stay alert and do not harm the fog]

Jake sighed. He breathed in the open air and nodded. This place filled with the Oak trees is harmless for breathing." He confirmed confidently.

Team head got relaxed. Jake thought about the rest of the clue. The Oak park seemed under some faunas. They were hidden or perhaps in the surrounding however they were harmless if no one damaged the Oak park.

He did not know whether it was good sign for their adventure or bad. It was just beginning of the third level so they would not want to intentionally create chaos unless it was necessary.

After all they wanted the card. "If I correctly calculate then getting the fourteen cards in the six days is tough. We do not know how much dangers are awaiting or the where are the cards. I am sure they must be under some boss. So we are going to search the boss that possesses the card. Give attention to every detail in the surrounding." Team head gave instruction.

They walked in the unknown direction. The Oak park was peaceful until now. however the two teams at the other side were thinking to blast and destroy some of the Oak trees in order to clearly search the surrounding.

It was quite laughable aspect that the other two teams selected the same weapons after noting down third team. Since they thought to follow them especially the methods of the player 'Zero Three'

Apparently they were confident to win the level by following the methods of the third team however in this Oak park they were wrongly thinking.

Jake got the clue from the task panel so he would not use rdx for the blasts in fact he was ready to give rational excuse of the team head tried to persuade him for the blasts.

Jake did not want that the faunas should wake up and surround them immediately.

However other teams were advancing and ready for the blast.

They were searching for the card as well as the third team. Unfortunately both teams were tying to damage the third team.. For this they decided to use the blasts and get rid the fog.
