Chapter 7: Chapter 7 : Treasures in the Loft
By the time Jason and Bob arrived, Merry had already taken Cici to the lab.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, is this going to be a zoo?" Dao watched Bob come in with Rum in his arms and pointed to Mimi and Coffee on the side, "Our team is really, how do you say, how do you say it..."
"Cut the crap Dao, Mimi's listening." Merry kindly reminded.
Dao looked at Mimi on the side and instantly shut up with instant understanding - he had seen how tough Mimi was in combat in the Loft World.
Merry and Jason introduced Cici and Bob, so that a small team of ten members was formed.
"What's our plan now?" Bob asked.
"Since we have formed a team, let's talk about how much property we have now, so we can make plans." Merry said. "Dao and I both have accounts that have quite a lot of equipment and property, but it should only be enough to upgrade our own equipment, and we can take out the remainder for everyone."
"Me and My Mimi's accounts, on the contrary, have quite a lot of property, all of which I have filled in myself over time, half of which can be used and taken out to help everyone." Cici said.
"Well, what about the other half?" Bob asked.
"The other half... I used it to build the collection..." Cici said shyly.
"A collection?" The others asked in unison.
"Yes, a collection of cute dolls..." Cici was even more embarrassed by the question.
"It's really a place with infinite possibilities."
Next, everyone counted the wealth in their hands, both Jason and Bob, counting Coffee and Rum's account, did not have much property. For the children of the slum, no one would keep their wealth in the Attic World, all that could be realized would have been cashed out long ago. As Bob had a deep affection for Attic, both his and Rum's equipment were top-notch, but their wealth was zero. And Jason's account, in addition to the bonus from last time, can basically be said to be poor. As for Master Wu and Robo, Master Wu had little interest in the Attic and handed it over to Robo to take care of, both of their equipment were still okay, but the wealth was not much.
In this way, the current economic situation of these ten people might only be enough to upgrade the equipment for all of them, and the other expenses needed to leave Avalon for the Eastern Continent would have to be earned for in the Attic World.
Action speaks louder than words. They acted immediately to first upgrade the equipment with the resources they had now, then to leave Avalon as soon as possible.
"Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, everyone will be celebrating, I think maybe it would be a good choice to leave tomorrow while everyone is celebrating." Merry said.
All of them nodded in agreement.
"Another question, heading to the Eastern Continent, it would be either via the Far North or the Thousand-Island Sea, both of which are considered a test for us. The Far North is cold, and those of us living in the Western Continent may have a lot of trouble adjusting to the weather. The Thousand-Island Sea is pleasant in climate, but the whole sea is made up of thousands of islands, and some of them are so far away from each other that the airship might not last that far. So, we have to think long and hard about which way to go to the Eastern Continent." Master Wu reminded everyone.
"Professor Wu, can you kindly ask Robo to make a budget? I'm not sure which way is better to go." Merry asked.
"No problem, but there are too many uncertainties, even if there is a budget to support, I'm afraid the future is also difficult ah!" Professor Wu said, "Is everyone ready?"
"Ready!" It's been a long time since there was such a hot atmosphere in this hut, and everything here has not shone with such a glow of faith.
Everyone sat down and had a dinner together. Master Wu took out all his bedding, and everyone simply slept on the floor. There was light snow outside the window, and the Christmas atmosphere was already so strong that there were colored lights everywhere, making people forget that this is a cruel world where the law of the jungle with a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
Merry looked at Dao who was sleeping on her lap, he came here from the unknown world and happened to meet her, not sure if it was a kind of luck or misfortune. Anyway, for Merry herself, meeting Dao was really a lucky thing.
To the side, Mimi was hiding in Cici's arms, making snoring sounds. For Mimi, as long as Cici was there, it was her home. Merry then looked at Cici's sleeping face, when she asked Merry with her big eyes full of expectation, "Will you be my friend?" Merry nodded, and from that on, Cici became Merry's best friend, no matter what she did, she would unconditionally choose to support.
Next to them were Jason, Bob, Coffee and Rum, who were sleeping together.
Jason said he and Coffee are friends in need, Bob said, "Bullshit, Rum and I are the friends indeed."
Jason looked like a hangdog, but as far as these days together, Merry felt that he was a real person, a responsible person, a good teammate. As for fat Bob, it goes without saying that he is a veteran player of the Loft, and having a tech geek like that on the team is the icing on the cake.
Master Wu also did not fall asleep, looking out the window and pondering something, Robo on the side activated the hibernation mode, also in recuperation.
There was a snowflake that fell shakily in front of Merry and then melted in a moment in the warmth of the room. The fire in the fireplace crackled and burned, and the whole house was warm, not only because of the fire in the fireplace, but also because of these people.
Family, Merry suddenly thought of this word, family, what she immensely longed for but did not find in her father, surprisingly appeared incomparably clear in her mind in this moment.
The next day, everyone else was still asleep when Bob suddenly shouted out, "Look everyone, someone has posted a super task."
As soon as it happened, a news broke out on all social media that an anonymous person had created the first decentralized AR space in the Attic World.
"The person behind this anonymous ID owns over 30% of the world's wealth." Bob said, "Someone in the forum has already checked his wealth value."
The man in the video, with a mask on his face, made a speech that was enough to dop a bombshell to everyone, "I wonder if you have noticed that our world is gradually getting tiresome. People are becoming selfish, even brutal, for the sake of wealth and fame. When I first created Attic as a game, I wanted to create a world that was completely different from the one I lived in, I wanted it to be a place with infinite possibilities, but now it has gone against my original vision. I was tired of worrying about Attic and looking for a way out, I want to go back to my ordinary life. So I've decided to give away all my wealth along with ownership of the game! This might be a turnaround in some people's lives, and the key to getting this wealth is hidden in an obscure location I created in the AR space - I named it the Attic! Find the Loft, find the key, and you can inherit all my wealth!"
Everyone looked at each other - wouldn't this be the perfect time for them.
This improvised team was instantly ignited with confidence!
