Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 268: Information pack

“B class ticket? But didn’t those cost upwards of 50 million dollars each? When and how did you two earn such wealth that you can afford 2 B class tickets?” Elena said in shock, as her first reaction after listening that her kids had bought her two good tickets was not one of elation, but rather worry.

“Ma…We told you we are doing well on the Arc Ship, don’t worry about us. Just focus on getting your upcoming surgery and the next four years of your life inside the Arc Ship….” Luke said, as he asked Elena to not worry about where the money for her ticket came from and only focus on maintaining good health.

“Did you hear that Jacob? Our kids are bigshots now. They can even afford my surgery and to buy expensive tickets for us…. *Sob* *Sob*, What good filial sons we have.

We must have done something right in our past lives for God to have blessed us with such nice kids” Elena said, while visibly sobbing as she broke down from overwhelming emotion.

For Elena, Luke and Leo were the only joys in her life. Seeing her boys excel and achieve so much filled her with immense pride to the point where she felt overwhelmed with emotion as she watched them become as well-established and successful as they had.

“Also mom, once you enter the Arc Ship, the first week of your game-play will be extremely important.

Oh right, you have no idea what game-play is…” Luke said, as he tried to warn Elena about the future events that she might face, if her ship also followed the same calendar after departure as theirs.

“Basically, mom, you will have to mandatorily play a game while on the Arc Ship and by killing monsters you can gain levels in this game.

No matter what happens, for your first week there, do your utmost best to gain as many levels as you can, okay?” Leo further simplified, as Elena nodded her head in understanding while sobbing continuously.

“Alright mom, that’s it from our side, we will get going now, but you take care….” Luke said waving Elena good-bye, as he disconnected the call at 3:58 dot. Not taking the risk of paying the extra MP to go over 4 minutes.

“Hahaha, she looks so happy–” Leo said wiping a tear off his eyes as he bought one Arc Ship ticket for his mother and followed it up by spending 500 MP on reserving her surgery, while Luke did the same and bought a ticket for their father as with that the two brothers completed their role in saving their mother from the destruction of Earth.

“Luke, do you really think she’ll be able to kill monsters and play Terra Nova Online well?” Leo asked, sounding a bit concerned as he felt unsure on whether or not their mother could really game as well as them, however Luke shrugged his shoulders in response to Leo’s question and did not seem to care much about it.

“It’s pointless to worry about it Leo, we did the best we could for her. Now let’s have faith in her own fate.

Worst case she goes from B to C and C to D, that’s still 2 years in a reasonably good environment.

I’m sure that by the two year mark she will have figured out some niche for herself even if it’s just cooking or some craftsmanship skill like Amanda’s.

We have already given her the best possible start we could afford and an important piece of advice that can at least prevent her from getting a demotion.

Let’s leave the rest to chance” Luke said, as he seemed to be very free spirited today as if a big rock had been lifted off his chest as well.

Although he did not show it, Luke too felt guilty about coming to the Arc Ship at the cost of his mother’s kidney.

However, now that he had helped Elena escape the dying planet and paid for her surgery, Luke felt satisfied as a son and psychologically free from a huge burden that was weighing him down.

“We can finally start living for ourselves now Leo.

Less than two months remain until the next evaluation, and if my estimates are not wrong, both of us should make it to Sector C.

You’re the number two player in the rankings and I’m not doing too bad myself.

With no obligations to fulfill, I think it’s time that us brother’s finally spread our wings and truly start dominating this game for real” Luke said in a hopeful voice as he placed his hand over Leo’s shoulder and walked out of the MP exchange store.

“Let’s celebrate today Leo…. One good meal to mark our new beginning” Luke suggested as Leo grinned and made an ‘O.K.’ sign.

It had been quite some time since he ate junk food like pizza and cheeseburgers and today seemed like an appropriate day to eat one.

( Back in the game Terra Nova Online )

After spending a day with Luke, eating great food and talking about nothing in particular, Leo felt completely destressed and rejuvenated by the time he logged back into Terra Nova Online.

Today, within the game he was supposed to craft some sample items with Ben, however, before he did that he wanted to open the [ Information Pack ] that he recieved from the system, as a reward for winning the grand tournament.

It was his first time recieving something like an information pack, as he had no idea as to what it did or what sort of information it provided.

At the time when he recieved it, he had swatted it away to be opened later, however, now that he had time, he felt curious as to what it was?

———–

[ Information Pack ] ( ???? ) :- Provides information about either game mechanics or future events that are scheduled to take place in the game.

Are extremely rare and self-destruct 5 minutes after being opened.

Cannot be sold, Cannot be shared to others.

———-

The description of the information pack was extremely interesting to Leo, as knowledge about future events or game mechanics sounded like something Leo could exploit as a merchant.
