"Yes like that. My nickname is..."
"What?"
"I don't know, I forgot."
"Hah? Why did you forget your nickname?"
"You know, I've stopped playing and I'm busy with this world, that's why I forgot." I lied. My real nickname is Dark69, which Evan has changed.
"Enough, Amanda. You don't keep asking him something. Daylon has stopped playing, so you better not keep asking questions!" Tiara said.
Is Tiara trying to defend me? Or maybe, she was irritated and became annoyed because it was too loud from the various questions Amanda asked me? I do not know that.
"Sorry, Tiara-senpai. May I ask one more thing to Mas Daylon?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Don't you want to go back to playing?"
"That…"
"Mas Daylon, how long have you stopped playing?"
"Two years ago."
"Then, you will be surprised at how expensive the items are. I've been playing EOA games since 3 years ago, so I can still feel the old system."
"What do you mean?"
Item? System? I do not understand. And… why did Tiara even just lowered her head?
I don't know the reason Tiara suddenly looked so sluggish. When Amanda talked about it, suddenly the look on Tiara's face changed.
"Since the owner changed, the EOA game has brought out special items that can be purchased using Zquid. But unfortunately, these items are very expensive. I want to buy a Pet like Helena-senpai, but it's so expensive, I don't have that much money."
Zquid is an in-game EOA money that is obtained through top-up using real money. Unlike Ruty, Zquid was used less often when I was playing before. When I played before, most players preferred to buy Ruty using their real money instead of Zquid.
Indeed, many things can be purchased through Zquid, such as Gacha Skin, some help items to defeat BOSS, help items to make it easier to get good items from BOSS drops, and so on. However, buying equipment or skills or something else usually requires Ruty. So, Ruty is the one who is needed for various things rather than Zquid.
But after hearing Amanda's words like that, I paused and found out what they meant. I also turned towards Tiara, but she still looks sluggish. I only know one thing, which is the pet she's talking about.
Amanda is in the same guild as Tiara, which means that she also knows Bagas, Kahfi, Helena, Elvina, and Joko. When she talks about Helena's pet, it means she is talking about that pet called Pretty. Pretty is a Legendary Level Pet that I gave to Helena because she kept asking me for it. And she also said that she wanted the pet, even wanted to buy it. If I conclude from his words, then that means the pet can be purchased using Zquid?
"Hehehe, what do you mean? Do you want to buy a pet like Lena's?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes. But, it's just that, it's so expensive, I can't afford it."
Why can't I believe this? That's because in fact, when I was still playing the EOA game, the pet wasn't sold anywhere, not even with Zquid. To be able to get it requires a difficult struggle, even having to find a secret is seen first. When you find a secret, you will be given a quest or something else, then you can run it. After completing it, you will be given a reward as a result of that struggle.
And now, can that reward, easily be purchased using Zquid? Oy, oy, oy! Seriously! Where is the name "adventure"? Why can all things be achieved easily with money? It doesn't even take a struggle to find it.
Honestly, I don't care about the high price. What I care about is that there is no more hard work to go on adventures in EOA games.
I turned to look at Tiara who still looked lethargic, and found out why she was like that. Tiara was like that because she probably disliked this thing, buying everything with money. She doesn't know how I got it, but she never asked about it. Maybe, she knows that I get items like that from adventure, that's why they, Bagas, Tiara, Joko, Elvina, Helena, and Kahfi, are always surprised when I get something good.
Even though I didn't tell him, how to get items like that, I often gave the items to them. So, maybe, that's why they never asked me that, because they also appreciate me after going on an adventure.
"So, back to the original question. Do you want to go back to playing EOA games, Mas Daylon?" asked Amanda.
"Hah?" I was daydreaming a little while looking at Tiara, so I didn't hear what Amanda said. "What were you talking about?"
"Do you want to go back to playing EOA games, Mas Daylon?"
"O-Oh, that..." Feeling guilty towards Tiara and the others, I answered loudly, "Of course, I'll be back playing."
After I said that, Tiara was shocked and turned to look at me as if my answer was hope for her.
"Sensei..." said Tiara in a low tone.
"Sensei?" Apparently, Amanda heard Tiara's voice. "What do you mean, Tiara-senpai? Who is this Mas Daylon? And… he called Helena-senpai by the name Lena. Who is he, Tiara-senpai?"
So many questions made Tiara confused from Amanda.
"Please answer, Tiara-senpai! I'm curious to know." Amanda looked at me. "Hey, Mas Daylon. Actually, who are you?"
"I? Hahaha."
This is bad... this is bad. This woman is very talkative. Ah, this is bad... this is bad.
Since I studied psychology a bit, I'll try to change the subject.
"H-Hey, Amanda."
"What?"
"How long have you been playing EOA games?"
Judging from his chatty nature, Amanda would answer and I managed to change the subject.
"I?"
"Yes, you."
"Ah, that... I played 3 years ago."
"Three years ago? Then, you were there before I stopped, right?"
"No, I can only enter Server 0 when 1 year later."
"What server are you from?"
"Server 4."
"Oh, I see. No wonder, I don't recognize you."
"After I managed to get into Server 0, Tiara-senpai was the one who helped me out a lot."
I glanced at Tiara for a moment, then looked back at Amanda. "Help you?"
After I asked that, suddenly Amanda hugged Tiara.
"Yes. Since Tiara-senpai is a great Cleric and I happen to be using Cleric Class too, I asked Tiara-senpai to teach me, and Tiara-senpai wanted to teach me. So, Tiara-senpai is my sensei. In fact, Tiara-senpai invited me to enter the Supernova Guild, which is the number one player in Indonesia there." Amanda turned to Tiara while saying, "Right, Tiara-senpai?"
"Ah, yes," answered Tiara.
"Heh, is that so. You're very kind, Tiara, want to teach him."
One thing I said to the six of them, namely, "If one day you become a great player and succeed in surpassing me, don't you guys be arrogant to other players. Above the clouds, there are other clouds!" That's what I told them when they asked to teach me a few things. And apparently, Tiara followed my words.
Why would I want to teach them? Because I have played for 1 year than those who are still "new players", and only I know all the secret systems in the EOA game at that time.
The proverb once said, "In this world, there are so many good people, you can even find them anywhere. If you don't find him, be that good person!" says the saying, not from my father.
Suddenly, Amanda glared at me as she said, "So, who are you, Mas Daylon? Why did you get close to Tiara-senpai? Did you do something about him? Who are you?"
I did not think that Amanda is such a talkative woman. Even though all this time, I thought she was a calm, friendly, dignified woman, and looked wise. However, it turned out to be all wrong. Her mouth had to be given chilies to silence her.
"Ah, that… that."
When I hesitated to say it, Tiara suddenly stood up and said, "Come on, Daylon, let's go to the mall. It's already this afternoon too."
"Ah, yes." I stand up too.
"Where do you two want to go? May I join? Incidentally, I don't have a photoshoot today, so I want to come? Can? Can I? I beg you, I can. Yes, Yes, Yes?"
This is bad, his mouth is very fussy.
"I want to go to the mall."
"Go to the mall? You two… go on a date?"
After Amanda said that, Tiara's face turned red.
"Ah, we better get out of this room. This room is really hot," I said while looking at Tiara.
"What?" Somehow, Amanda was surprised after hearing me say that. "Mas Daylon, are you stupid?"
"Hah? What do you mean?"
"Amanda!!!" Tiara said, staring at Amanda so sharply as if she was threatening her.
"Okay... I won't say it again." Amanda locked her mouth.
"I went to the mall with Daylon, to buy him a device to play EOA games again," Tiara replied with a smile to Amanda.
"Eh?" And I was surprised to hear that. "Really? Do you want to buy me that device? "
Tiara turned in the direction with a smile and said, "Yes."
"Hooray! After having 4 plans, finally, the second plan was successful. I thought I won't be able to come back. Hahaha. Then…" I punched my hand and continued, "I will prove that the EOA game is not a Pay to Win game! Free is my soul."
"Are you stupid?" said Amanda, looking at me condescendingly.
