It has been a few days after George realized that he was in the bottom of the cliff. He was very alive and kicking.
He's already adapted living in there. Even though in the beginning, he always get scared when he saw the skeletons, but now he's already used to it.
But after a few days sleeping on a sleeping bag, his back hurts real bad. He didn't have any other choice, but to buy a bed, but of course he bought cheapest one. You will never know when are you gonna ran out of credits.
In case that he ran out of credits, he decided to loot the skeletons. "Hehe.. I'm just borrowing your money. I'll pay all of you guys by burying all of you. Why are all of you have these stone? Ah whatever.. i'll put these near the tent. It's kinda pretty for making something like a cobblestone road. I don't know what they are called, but i'll call it as a mysterious stone road."
He also tried to plant things, so when he ran out of credits, he still can eat something. He also bought some alive chickens for the eggs.
"Ahh! finally.. there's some sounds. I don't have anything to do and bored as f*ck. Maybe i'll make a house, so when there's a rain, i won't be wet."
He then bought a few cheapest material from the shop to make a simple hut.
「Ding! Congratulations to the host. You've just spent 1000 credits in total. Because of that, we decided to give you a lottery ticket. The prizes are randomized item from the shop. Want to use the ticket?」
Startled by that, George immediately pressed yes. He hoped that he would get the OP superpowers, but..
The arrow of that lottery slowed down a little by little until it slowly stopped spinning.
House
Tools
Foods
Superpower
George was thrilled by that! "Is this it?!" As the arrow stopped, it moved a little bit from the superpower sections. It was musical instruments.
RIGGED! THIS IS RIGGED! Why do i get a f*cking guitar?!
Disappointed, he decided to just put it aside and proceed to build a simple hut with the dried leaves and bamboo.
After a few days, the hut was completed. George nodded in excitement. "Mm.. it's not too shabby for a beginner hut maker. And now what am i gonna do?" Then he glanced at the guitar.
I'm the chairman of the bored ~
I'm a lengthy monologue ~
I'm livin' like a dog ~
I'm bored ~
I bore myself to sleep at night ~
I bore myself in broad daylight coz ~
I'm bor-
BOOM! A thick smoke flew everywhere.
"..." George
When George realized that his hut was destroyed by a falling things, he felt an urge to just demolish the remaining of his hut. And there's also a man lying on the top of the 'hut'.
"Sigh.. hey man.. could you wake up? and compensate me?! my hut was destroyed by you." The man didn't woke up. "Eh? Is he dead? Well.. maybe i should just help myself and keep all of his money."
Before he could loot him, the man woke up and grabbed George's hand.
(꒪ȏ꒪;)
"EEK! A GHOST! OMAIGAWD. I'm so sorry... Mr. Ghost.. don't worry, i was just wanted to bury you near all of the skeletons. I'm not trying to steal your money or something like that."
"..." The man just stared at George and said some words to him, but it was in Chinese.
"Umm.. it seems, we don't understand each other. Wait i know some mandarin language. It's something like wo... ai.. ni?"
The man's face darkened and when George saw his disgusted face, George laughed real hard. It was really mandarin. He decided to ask the AI's opinion on how to break the language barrier.
「Ding! There's 2 solutions to that problem. The first one is a short-term solution and a long-term solution. the short-term solution is cheaper than the long-term solution, but it's kinda sucks.」
"Oho..? what is it? the solutions?"
「Ding! The short-term solution is to buy a dictionary, but you have to search a word by word to speak with someone. The long-term solution is to buy a skill book called < The Gift of Languages >. With that skill, you can understand all kind of languages. And when you speak, it's automatically translated to the hearer's language.」
"Umm... yeah.. it's pretty sucks to use dictionary. How much is the skill book cost?"
「Ding! Only 250 credits.」
"Uhh.. so expensive. But if i don't know what is that ghost are saying, it'll get messy... Whatever i'll buy it. I still have more than 800 credits left anyway." George pressed buy on the screen and after a few seconds, a book appeared nearby. He opened it and the book instantly gone.
Suddenly, he could hear someone speaking. "Cuckoo! What the hell is that hooman doing? The book is gone? what kind of sorcery is that?"
"Cuckcuckoo! Shut up! Because of you, he saw us... No.. dont come here... Don't tell me he want to steal our childs again?" The hen looked at George warily while covering the eggs with her little wings.
(￣▼￣*)
"Umm.. you guys.. could you shut the f*ck up?! I'm trying to make that man to compensate me for breaking my house. If you not behave properly, i'll turn you into soup! Not just that, it's a chicken soup with egg in it! Ah i wonder how is it taste..."
ԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ)
The chickens initially wanted to scream loudly, but after seeing George's drool, they immediately froze in place and shut up completely. And then George looked at the man in the roof of his broken hut.
"Ahem! Where were we again?"
The face of the mysterious man darkened. He felt really disgusted when he saw George's face again. He just ignored him completely.
"Cuckoo.. Awkward..."
When George heard the chicken, he glared at them. Sensing an indescribable danger, they immediately pretending to eat some seeds in the ground like nothing ever happened.
George: "..."
