I am the Lucky Cat of an MMORPG

ch18

18. First Portal Opened

Saturday was soon here.

"Paging LuckyCat. Hurry to Zhang Village. Transfer from Prole to Serica, then to PingYang Village. You can transfer flights from there to here." Teleporting is usually known as taking a flight by players as one will arrive at their destination with a whoosh = =.

"%*&^(&)" A long series of places he'd be transferring to and from nearly sent Bai XiaoYu's head flying into a whirlwind. How did I_Am_A_Poor_Man find such a remote and isolated location?

The four main cities were already packed to the brim. Not all guilds could afford to assign Acolytes to just setting up flights. Most had decided to attack whichever fortress was nearer to the North Gate. They'd have to ride there anyway.

The larger guilds had all selected a remote village as their revival point. That way, they won't be lost in the crowd and outsiders won't be able to sneak through their Teleports. Of course, if someone accidentally stumbled upon some isolated village and found a large gathering of high-level players, that's fine. As long as they didn't try and hop on for a free flight. They'd be asking to be killed back down to Level 10 by that guild after the dust settled.

(⊙o⊙) That was the expression XiaoYu and the little cat had when they stepped through the portal to Zhang Village. The word "many" wasn't enough to describe how many were there. The last time it was this packed, it was at the newbie villages when Asgard Online first launched.

It was just past 5 and there were already so many gathered there. Did everyone use gaming pods? Do they not need to log off for food?

"Big brother Poor, I'm here. Where are you?"

"Just stand near the portal and don't move. I'll come look for you."

It didn't feel nice being stared at, especially by so many pairs of eyes. It's no wonder why. Everyone there, except for Bai XiaoYu, had a black crest with a white cross and blood red wings on their left shoulder. That was the crest of Heretic Demons and its subsidiary guilds. The parent guild specifically requested all members to display this crest to prevent spies from other guilds from sneaking in.

Because there wasn't a lot of slots in the main guild, Heretic Demons established a few subsidiaries. Only when the parent guild levelled up would a batch of outstanding members be chosen from the subsidiary guilds to enter Heretic Demons. This session of Guild Wars would be used by their group to scout out each new city and the abilities of other guilds. They'd consider whether to collaborate with other guilds afterwards.

For XiaoYu, someone whose low-level Acolyte robes clearly announcing him as a new player who's not even Level 40, to appear in this crowd, it was somewhat of a shock.

"Come on. Let me through please."

Soon a path through the crows was formed. Everyone recognised I_Am_A_Poor_Man as the main guild's Acolyte Squad Leader, a violent healer who liked to bash at naughty kids with his thick book.

"Lil Lucky, come," I_Am_A_Poor_Man waved.

And so, XiaoYu slowly walked over to I_Am_A_Poor_Man's side with all eyes on him. As soon as XiaoYu shuffled over, the other began pulling him away by the hand.

After running for a while, they reached an empty plot of land. A glance around revealed a shop with the sign "Item" hanging before it. That must be the NPC Item Shop.
