The Immortal Player

Chapter 264: I Thought You Have Something to Say!

Pedro paused for a moment as everyone dreamed of bringing the 'home court' advantage to a small country in Southeast Asia. The fans, the crowd, the cheers of everyone is surely something to be anticipated by anyone.

Then, Pedro glanced towards Lony and said, "Anyway Let's see how strong the wolf transformation skill could become. Lony, please record the changes on each consumption for data and analysis. And in case someone asked where we got such skill in the future, all you need to say that it is all about money and we simply got the wolf transformation skill page that we sold through the auction with it. If someone wants to pry even further, you can just tell them the rest of the information is confidential and some 'brokers' whom we were in touched with, were the only ones who knew about it."

Lony nodded in response and said, "I'll keep that in mind, Guild Leader."

Pedro smiled in response as he shifted his attention to Loren and said, "Lastly Classmate Loren, I won't ask much from you. Please train as hard as you can with Sabri, and just simply assist her in return. I'll discuss your role in more detail later on, together with our combat plans. For now I want all of you to focus on preparing and moving to our temporary gaming camp. Then, afterward, we can start preparing for the exhibition game. If you have issues regarding your participation in the gaming camp or the exhibition game itself, please don't hesitate to inform me as soon as possible. I'll try my best to find a solution so that all of you would be able to participate in the competition. Is that all clear?"

"Yes, Guild Leader!" Everyone shouted in response as their faces were filled with smiles of excitement.

They had some casual talks afterward, before Lony, Roval, and Arvedar leftwho was going to prepare for the 'experiment' regarding the wolf transformation skill. As for Talia and Mathew, they remained with Pedro and his classmates to discuss matters regarding everyone's training while Pedro is still in the hospital.

"Bro Mathew, I'll leave their training in your hands. I discussed with Sabri's uncle and decided to enroll everyone in a Tae Kwon Do training. It was only a few days since we started training, but I was even able to land a surprise kick to the Old Man NPC. Sabri was even better! She was able to push back the old man with a series of kicks from time to time. So We were witnesses ourselves that the Tae Kwon Do training is really effective even in the game. Please ensure that everyone would take the training seriously. After all, we'd be the players who'd be standing on top of the guild and possibly in the game." Pedro said seriously.

Mathew nodded in response and said, "I understand guild leader! You don't need to worry about that. Please focus on your recovery so that you can join us in our training."

Pedro simply smirked in response and said, "I'd be back before you know it!"

"Then, We'd be waiting!" Mathew smirked in response as he shook Pedro's hands. After exchanging a few words, Mathew and Talia left them in the room. At this moment, Aldo was like Pedro's secretary and was busy cleaning up the sofas and the hologram projector that they used during their meeting.

On the other hand, Loren and Sabrina were cleaning up the leftover foods to ensure that the room would be clean before they leave. And since Pedro had nothing to do, he simply laid into his bed whilst scanning through his tabletchecking game-related information in the net.

Obviously, the wolf transformation skill page was the hot topic, even after several days have passed. After all, it was sold for a record-breaking price that every player in the game could only dream of. Even the recruitment of Meen and her players to Armaz Electronics Inc. was overshadowed by that topic.

This, in turn, made Pedro think of ways on how to improve Aldo, Roval, and Loren's characters without depending that much on physical training. Thus, he can't help but glance at Aldo and ask, "Bro Aldo Do you have anything better in mind for your character development? The same for classmate Loren? I am afraid that the combat training is not compatible with both of your styles."

Aldo glanced back to Pedro in response whilst scratching back his head. Then, he said, "I've been into several strongholds lately because of Adventurer's Guild matters. While doing so, I was also looking into other options that I could try other than direct fighting or such Unfortunately, all I was able to hear were crafting occupations like blacksmiths and alchemists and nothing else. Obviously, the merchant occupation is not suitable for such competitions that involve combat so I think that they are also a no-go!"

"That's not certainly true, Bro Aldo," Pedro said.

Aldo frowned in response and asked, "What do you mean?"

Pedro simply smirked in response and said, "Have you forgotten about the 'objectives' part in the Kingdom Defense Mode? If the competition is more combat or fighting related, then, won't be ideal for the game developers to divide the modes in terms of different scenarios instead like the shooter games? Like if the objective is to abduct someone in the opposing team, won't it be better to call it a seize and control mode or rescue mode of some sort instead? But, the game developers opted for a more generalized term of Kingdom Defense."

"Are you suggesting that in Kingdom Defense Mode, there's a possibility that a merchant or crafting occupations would play a role in the completion of such objectives?" Aldo asked.

Pedro simply scratched the back of his head and said, "I am just assuming every single scenario that's possible to occur. And it's not definitely impossible for such cases. Remember The Adventurer's Guild is established through trade and political stuff And since it occurs in the game itself, won't it make sense to also occur in the Kingdom Defense Mode?"

"So, should I focus on becoming a merchant, Brother Pedro?" Aldo asked.

Pedro simply shook his head and said, "Not necessarily Just in case I think both you and classmate Loren should play a special role that is only available to our team."

"A special role? Support?" Loren asked.

Pedro simply shook his head in response and said, "Let's call it Jack!"

"Jack Jack of all trades, master of none?" Aldo asked.

"Bingo!" Pedro said as he smiled and pointed towards Aldohappy that Aldo was able to read what was on his mind. Then, he added, "Blacksmith, Alchemy, Merchant None of the Five "One Man Army" has such knowledge at this point in the game. And not even Lony nor Roval knows the basics of such. Won't we be at a disadvantage if the objectives were just easy but require such profession or occupation?"

"As for mastery, the game has just been launched. So, the game developers would most likely just showcase such possibilities to occur in a competition. They won't even think that someone would be able to clear the basics of such occupation so there is a possibility of only the basics to be included in the competition." Aldo said that made Pedro nod in agreement.

Then, Pedro responded, saying, "Since Lony and Roval know a few about being merchants, Bro Aldo, you can focus on blacksmith occupation since it requires more physical ability than Alchemy. As for you, classmate Loren, I'll have to ask you to learn the basics of Alchemy in your free time. I'll ask Wey to introduce you to some of the best crafters in the affiliated Kingdoms for both of you to get the most knowledge in a short period of time. As for the other occupations, do inform me if you learn some more. I'll ask Roval to learn it before the competition. Then, if possible, try learning the other occupations so that the both of you would know the basics for every non-combatant profession."

"I'll do as you say, Brother Pedro!" Aldo said.

Loren nodded in agreement and smiled. Then, she added, saying, "I agree classmate Pedro! It's better than putting high hopes that my combat ability would become as good as everyone else in just a few days of training."

Pedro simply laughed in response and said, "But don't forget to set some time for your combat training, classmate Loren. It's essential that you know how to defend yourself at any timeor, at the least, you should be able to create a chance to escape and run."

Loren waved his hands to Pedro while saying, "I know! I know! My Sis Sabrina right here is going to help me on that! Hehehe"

Pedro simply sighed in response and said, "You have one of the most terrifying players in the game as your teacher. I don't know if I would be envy or I would be afraid for you. Haha."

"Ahem Did you say something, my dear Peds?" Sabrina faked a cough before forcing out a menacing smile to Pedro. At this moment, Aldo could not help but to avert her gaze from Sabrina and Loren whilst forcing out a smile.

On the other hand, Pedro frantically shook his head in response whilst forcing out a smile and saying, "N-Nothing!"

*Crack!!!* *Crack!!!*

Sabrina cracked her fists and said, "I thought you have something to say"
