Sitting on the walls, I watched as the people came in and out the south gate. Emma was sitting next to me while she was peeling the orange before giving it to me. I cut it in half and gave it back to her to eat.
Emma smiled as she ate the half orange in her hand piece by piece. I looked at the moon in the sky and finally the call I have been waiting for arrived.
"Brother Ace, the game will launch in one hour," Rose said through the phone floating next to me. After that, I snapped my finger to make the phone disappear while I tapped the ground once and both Emma and I disappeared before reappearing in the tavern.
"Husband, I will go check on the kids fast before coming with you, especially Rolph… that rascal is playing around with girls a lot this day!" Emma started her words with peace before she reached the Rolph part and it became a devil voice.
I was scared for a second before I laughed it off "Take care, I will be here and don't forget to tell them it will start at 00:00."
As Emma left, I began to remember the days spent in the restaurant, great days I would say because since the end of the meeting within the tower, everyone became busy and clans began to control themselves… sadly I wiped a few on the way from their actions.
『The light faction and dark faction requested to join the game and requested for the internet connection to their worlds』
Anima voice appeared randomly as always.
I smiled as I expected this, seems like after we fixed the connections of the internet throughout all of the worlds under the jurisdiction of the guild, it became popular and all of the old stuff that was popular on earth before was brought back to life.
Search engines were brought back up with the improvement on Hope as he is twenty times better than before, a Transcender of the third stage with the help of Anima. The rest of the Class masters also got improvements to the first Transcender stage through hope help and mine.
Now that the internet contains trillions of users on it, information flow became way too smooth, and as the four founder sites provided by us, they grew to pinnacle information hub of all adventurers and ordinary users.
As to how the internet was provided to them, the guild masters discussed this through the monitors I provided with Anima acting as a proxy to set up the most significant gathering of the Adventurers Guild which led to the re-invention of the phones.
The card systems were also re-modified to be added to the phone, but the card must stay on the Adventurer always as the phone will only contain details of the quest they are on. Phone manufacturing was on earth as well as the gaming chips which led to the financial situation of the world becoming one of the strongest within the Adventurers Guild Financial Ranking.
The game, on the other hand, is run by my power through the chip, it costs nothing to pull people into the game world, but it can only be up to one hour in the real world as it relies on my spirit attribute and Space Mastery.
The Paragon Epidemic seemed to disappear from my skill list, but I can still use it, which means it relies on a specific skill within either the Skills section or Racial Skills. Cooking, on the other hand, turned into [Cooking T1] but it also disappeared along with blacksmithing and other skills of crafting gained from the clones and changed into [Crafter T1].
The two subclasses Blacksmithing and Medic merged into the Jack-Of-All-Trades before making it become T2 solely.
The question is how long did it take for all of this, a few days…
"Tell them, 500,000 gold yearly per planet and to sign a treaty for allowing guilds to open at their planets too, cards will be obtainable for every faction to help them out and provide devices through the guild…" Take a deep breath I go through several ideas before smiling.
"Neutral state of all guilds and no harm to any world under your jurisdiction. The 500,000 gold yearly will exclude the costs of the products as well as the costs of shipment of all the transportation fees through our guild" I ended my plan with a grin on my face.
『What if they break the treaty?』
"Under the Void Law constitution of fair trade, section 3, page 391… any requests of treaties will be witnessed under the supreme court of VOID and will be treated seriously, Faction Leaders are to be present while all party members of the Faction itself without the involvement of an unknown entity or wanted criminals of the Void" I smiled as I used the best excuse to make use of this technology.
『They can't ignore it and attempt to steal it through enticing your people』
"They wouldn't dare, did I tell you who visited yesterday? I already gave them 25% of the shares" I smiled as I snapped my fingers to make a purple sheet flowing with bubbles of purple aura appear in the air.
『So that is why I couldn't observe you yesterday… it seems like you already caught their attention』
As I was about to continue talking with Anima, Emma entered the tavern again dressed in her simple dress, and she spoke in an angry tone "That rascal seems to ignore everything and went to confess to a girl… again!"
I smiled at her, "He didn't break any law, let him do what he wants, and if he tries to do anything stupid, I will personally through throw him into the military to shape him into a better man."
"Hup!" A voice appeared behind the door as small boxes outside began to crash into the ground. "Come inside!" I said with a deep voice.
"Grandfather…" Rolph entered the tavern while his head was low, the light aura was revolving around him, I waved my hand, and a small bead exited Rolph before disappearing mid-air.
"Go to the military, and your mother already talked to me about it yet you keep acting arrogant since continued to grow up, look at Sophie and Henry… Sigh, I should have taught you better!" I said with a stern voice.
"No! You can't do this to me, grandfather!" Rolph shouted as he looked at me with an angry face, "I didn't do anything!"
I smiled widely as I said, "Athena, come out."
A small fluctuation appeared next to me before a beautiful lady appeared, "Master", looking at Rolph I said, "Speak of everything bad that Rolph did."
"Yes master, first he tried courted seven girls before breaking up with them due to finding someone better, second…. Finally, he rebelled against his mother words and ran away from his house to play around" Athena finished her words. I nodded to her as she disappeared.
I opened a monitor and Angela appeared on it, "Brother Ace?" She spoke confused as stacks of paper were in front of her, "Angela, thanks to your merits I will be giving you Athena to use" I snapped my finger and Angela fainted before she could speak and light covered her slowly in the screen.
"Husband… you are being too harsh on this child" Emma spoke worriedly, "No, this is just the start of the rehab, and I want him to grow up relying on himself as the others did…"
After ending my conversation with Rolph, he exited with a sad look on his face and went towards the spaceports before entering them and disappearing from the island.
I tapped my cane twice on the ground before I appeared with Emma inside the basement. "Brother Ace, everything is ready," Rose said as she was facing the large screen on the wall.
"Good, there should be a few minutes left. I want you to ban Rolph from coming to the island and issue a military service warrant to get him in tomorrow, lowest rank."
"Yes brother," Rose said as her eyes flickered within a second and she moved towards Hope who was the busiest among us all. "Brother Hope, Anima has just contacted me to relay a letter."
Hope who looked lifeless came back to life as he smiled at Rose, "I just received it, I must apologize sister, but the island won't fit all of the production, take a few more islands and create a selection of worthy people in the world who are capable of labour-related work and create several notices in every branch about the recruitment with 30 copper per product…"
I looked at Hope with a smile as his mouth kept moving while screens appeared on every part of the room to present data on every issue that may pop up related to this.
『The Light Faction and Dark Faction agreed, the court date is set to be in 20 days earth time』
I smiled as an agreement before pulling Emma towards the chair that sat alone in the workshop area in the basement. "Are you ready my love?" I said to Emma as I sat on the chair.
"I will join you within a moment, our sleep might be lower but 1 hour should be enough as we need to open the restaurant later on!" Emma smiled brightly as she watched me tap the ground once before disappearing.
Hope who finished speaking to Rose spoke in a loud voice, "Game launching in 10 seconds starting from… 10, 9, 8…"
"3...2...1… Unix is online"Hope eyes went bright as a deep blue light exited his eyes before he went silent completely.
[Unix is open] (hint: think of going online while holding the chip)
I appeared in a small village, thousands of players began to appear after I entered as I just allowed them to. No instructions are given, but the internet should be useful to those that researched what a game is...
Emma also appeared next to me, and she smiled brightly as she saw the people who appeared around us running into the forest. "Let us enjoy our vacation love," I said to Emma as I walked her towards a simple house in the village.
