Chapter 4 - Myrtle

There was pin drop silence in room.

Leon stopped here, this was the limit he could expose.

The Old Man sitting at the leader position spoke, "It is way more serious than we thought, what are your thoughts."

Rest of the 6 people thought for a while and answered.

"Gather more information and then unite the people."

Everyone agreed to this point, leaving Leon who objected out of his rights.

"No don't unite the game world it will lose competitiveness among players."

The leader replied to him "What are your thoughts."

"The Federation army could create a guild and they will soon integrate into the game as this game requires good skills and physical fitness to play."

One of the people objected, "Who will take care of the crypts if army goes into the game."

This time before Leon, the only lady spoke, "Admiral the space around the continent has stabilized and all the previous crypts were closed as soon as the Caged World was online, I didn't relate them before but now I think it should be the cause."

After few more discussion the old man stopped them, "I have decided to send two brigades in the game, the rest will keep watch, Leiter you will be IN charge in the game, your job is to gather information and create an army capable to rival the old guilds."

He continued

"And Leon, you have done a great job, I can full fill any one of your request as long it is not outrageous."

Leon thought for a while, but he didn't had any requests now, "Can I keep it for later?"

"Yes It remains the same."

"Thanks you, I will take my leave."

.................

Leon took a deep breadth 'I hope so this time we don't need to leave Moonlight Kingdom.' This was the biggest regret of federation in his past life.

Leon looked at VR Cabin and stopped the urge to go inside. 'I need to exercise, at least reach Master level.'

................................................

Carleon Federation had an area of about 3000 sq km, with 3 cities, namely Carleon, Sterling and Phoenix and 21 towns, and now Leon is in City Sterling, in his university under surprised eyes on his classmates doing pushups with great difficulty.

Currently in Leon's mind 'What was I doing in my university days, even ten pushups are making me feel to give up.'

After 1 hour of exercise Leon was lying in his dormitory breathing heavily muttering 'Start is always difficult.'

On his way home Leon started to think about future plans, 'My only advantage is future knowledge, I need to make it into strength before butterfly effects click in.'

After reaching home without any delay Leon entered the VR cabin which currently could allow a person play for 12 hours without food.

..........................

Marshville town

Leon appeared in his hotel room with potion making equipment in front of him.

Leon's smiled forcefully

'Calm down'

After 1 hour Leon looked his backpack with satisfaction.

"28 potions with 80% and above recovery,46 with 70 % and 9 with 60 % and one tier 0 potion"

Which was due to Leon being too indulged in speed.

"Now lets find some customers."

Leon stepped out the room and met the hustling crowd. As he observed the players many of them had reached level 1 and even few with level two.

Then he opened the form and saw the top liked post

Shadows Of the Virtue

They seemed to be quiet lucky to find a secret silver weapon. They sure were famous in early stages, their guild leader must have luck one skill. He kept on reading on his way to the market where he was distracted by the bustling crowd.

In the market after seeing the high rent prices of, leaving the guilds rest of the players directly sat of the sides of the road. Leon went from player to player and sighed secretly. 'I should have purchased the materials directly, I should have joined a guild last time may be I could reach a higher level. I will create a guild this time.'

Soon Leon found a shop for rent and rented it for a month costing him 50 silver and then he posted a job in the local form at the salary of 1 silver per hour, which soon received many replies, which surprised him a bit, did the exchange shop opened up.

Leon looked at the panel and saw the option of exchange shop.

1 silver for 50 cents.

quiet low it will rise sharply in next few days.

Leon the looked at the replies and saw one of them asking for a higher price, which was directly ignored by him and continued reading until he found one with good marketing skills.

Myrtle

Commerce Student

She may be useful.

Leon directly messaged her to come to his shop.

.............

The said girl who was bargaining with a player stopped at the notification and read it carefully and left keeping the player dumbfounded.

Who shouted to her "Hey I will sell it for 10 Copper."

He got no reply and sighed 'I just lost a good trade.'

...........

Leon who was arranging the store heard someone coming and greeted her with a smile.

"Hello, how may I help you."

Myrtle spoke after taking a breath "I had came here for a job request."

"Oh, come in I will show you the items and then we will fill the contract."

Leon didn’t had any requirements so he started talking about the job.

"Uh, what is the contract."

Leon stopped and remembered at this point only few people knew about the contracts.

"It the contract of the Main System which rules the game world, it grants fairness, so you don't have to be worried about being cheated."

"Who cares about a game contract." Myrtle murmured.

Leon smiled "Caged World is not just a game, you will find out sooner."

"Ah, sorry!" Myrtle apologized.

"No problem, I will explain you the prices, currently there are few item, mainly Life potion now with three grades and some items, and then you have to buy the following materials I will hand you 10 gold."

Myrtle was stunned at the amount of ten gold, "Are we playing the same game."

"Yes, after you master a craft earning will be easy."

Myrtle then signed the contract in daze and soon took over the shop.

Leon was planning to form a guild and was thinking about a good name on his way to the adventure association as it didn't cost anything to create a guild but had requirements to maintain it.
