Chapter 115 - 111 : Contracts



"I need you to help me defeat the world class boss on the 10th floor."

A world class boss. These were one-of-a-kind monsters that only lived once. The title "World Class monster" isn\'t only used to show that they don\'t re-spawn but it is also used to show their strength. In previous VR games, world class bosses would be equivalent to a level 30 or so King rank monster in Infinite Realm. A level 6 Mage asking two level 8 players and one level 7 assassin for assistance to defeat a level 30 King is just utter stupidity. This kind of stupidity couldn\'t even be just classified as suicide.

"No." Before even anyone could say anything, Sato hurriedly answered her.

Forget about whether they could actually make it to floor 10, the world class boss wouldn\'t be a pushover that they could easily beat.

"Wait. You misunderstood the task." Xue Yan quickly said before Sato could leave.

"Hmm? Misunderstood the task? And how would that be?"

"We all know that Infinite Realm is a different VR game and just as it is different, it\'s systems and features are different." Xue Yan said.

"Get to the point."

"The term "world class" is used here to refer to monsters that can only exist once and don\'t re-spawn. Apart from that, defeating one gives a player or a guild, the opportunity to be known world wide."

Sato frowned seeing that she was still explaining but he didn\'t interrupt her this time around.

"Of course, there\'s a catch to this and this is usually the strength of the world boss. But it is different this time around. From the information that I got, the world class boss isn\'t that powerful; the world class boss is just a level 10 monster! That gives us a chance at beating it!"

"A level 10 monster as a world class boss? Are you kidding me?" Fudo asked with disbelief painted all over his face. Even though it was stronger than current players, it was still beatable with proper planning and large numbers. Also, players could just wait till they get past that level or reach level 9 and return to defeat it.

Xue Yan nodded. "It\'s true. That\'s what my mission says and it can\'t be a lie."

" A level 10 monster...with our lineup, it should be doable." Lu Zhen said with a bit of yearning in his eyes. One should remember that once a world class monster is defeated, not only is the loot eye catching but also, players would be able to let there names be known around the world. This was very convenient for players who hoped to be famous, get endorsed by companies or get drafted by guilds.

"Wait a minute. You said your mission? What do you mean by that?" Sato asked catching on to something.

Xue Yan took a deep breath and replied, "As you most likely would have thought of it already, the map and the information about the monster were all obtained from a mission I got. The said mission only mentioned to kill the world class monster down here."

Xue Yan didn\'t mention about the mission being part of a quest and she wasn\'t planning on doing so either. She also didn\'t mention the mission rewards and Sato didn\'t plan on asking her. Both were sensible enough to act wisely.

Truth be told, getting the map was already a good thing. Sato believed that Xue Yan wouldn\'t expect much from them as trusting outsiders for such a mission was too risky. In other words, her reason for saying this was to actually perform a trial run on the boss and find out it\'s strengths and weaknesses. If the team perhaps doesn\'t really stand a chance of winning, she would then either look for a new team or wait till everyone levels up a bit.

\'Of course there\'s a problem with this\' Sato thought \'and that is the fact that we might spread the map if she looks for a new team or wants to wait. So how next move would now be...\'

"Of course if you agree to it, I will not treat you wrong. You get to advertise whosoever\'s name you want to and also get 90% of all the loot but you have to sign a concealment contract." Xue Yan added.

\'A contract.\'

Contracts in VR games were really powerful stuffs. Though they weren\'t so strict in reality with most of them literally having no effect, they were strict as hell in-game. Punishments given after breaking a contract could range from being reduced to level 0 to having your entire existence terminated from the game forever, such that even buying a new cabin or creating a new avatar won\'t even solve the problem. As once you are in-game, all actions are being supervised by the Heavenly system, which also happens to play the role of the contract supervisor. This means that every action and word spoken, would be monitored by the System and if one happens yo perhaps breach the contract, he)she would immediately face the penalties.

"What are the conditions?" Sato asked.

"No one else is to know of this deal or anything we discussed here." Xue Yan seriously said.

Sato could obviously reject the contract and leave here and then but it obviously wasn\'t worth it as he wouldn\'t get the map. Xue Yan\'s conditions were alright as not only would they receive the map but they would also get 90% of the loot in exchange for helping her. This would surely make them put more effort when raiding the world class boss.

\'She really knows her ways.\' Sato inwardly sighed.

"There\'s no problem with that but evidently speaking, we can\'t beat the boss without help from other class players like a Cleric. What would happen to them? Would they not be in the know?" Sato asked.

"If you would want to inform them of our agreement, you can ask me and I will permit it." Xue Yan lightly said. She had clearly thought this out and was aware that without a healer class and an MT, it would be extremely difficult for the party to last again the world class boss much less best it.

"Alright." With a clear face, he agreed to her idea and signed the contract. After him, Fudo and Lu Zhen also did the same thing.

"We can help you and bring you there but before that, we will need to find a few players to fix up our weakness. So the mission would have to wait."

"No problem."

With Xue Yan agreeing, Sato now had to look for someone trustworthy, who could play the role of a healer and an MT.

\'Luckily, I already have an idea for an MT. All that remains is a healer.\'

. . . . .

Room 2B13.

A young nurse dressed in white uniform walked into the room with a clipboard in hand. Looking at the patient in the bed who had been looking a bit lifeless with his head facing the window ever since a female walked in here, the nurse sighed internally while pitying the young man.

\'He didn\'t even notice when I walked in. Hai, what did such a handsome guy do to deserve this?\' These were her thoughts as she walked closer towards him.

The young man was Akiyama Yato and indeed, he didn\'t even notice when the young nurse had walked in as he was caught up in his own reality. Compared to before however, Yato seemed a bit more relaxed as if he had been freed from a heavy burden. But this feature wasn\'t so noticeable yet as only his close friends like Yoshi, Katsuo, Sato and the others, would notice it. For a third party, Yato would still seem to be as pitiful as he was before.

"Sir, sir." A pleasant voice, like the chirping of the spring birds on a beautiful morning, called out vociferously.

Just when the young nurse was about to get upset at Yato for not answering her, he regained his senses and turned towards the voice that called him.

"...oh! Is there any problem, nurse?"

The lady stared at him a bit and sympathy could be seen in her eyes. A bit of moisture also formed in her pupils leading to a glint being produced by the light that reflected off of the liquid.

"...nurse, is there a problem?" Yato was feeling weird being stared at like that.

"Uh..." Finally realising what she had been doing, the nurse blushed a bit before quickly regaining her composure.

"The doctor said that you can get discharged this evening if you wish to. Of course, you can stay till tomorrow morning and apply for follow-up treatments but this isn\'t necessary."

"Oh...I see." Yato replied before turning his head towards the window and staring out of the building. "I will like to be discharged today please."

"... okay." The nurse nodded after a bit of hesitation and left the room.

"...*sighs* He really is such a dummy." The nurse pouted once she left the room.

Meanwhile, Yato looked out the window and stared at the road with all the moving vehicles and people. What he was thinking was unknown but a noticeable trait would be the clenched fists that was on the bed.

\'One day....\'
