BXBX NOVEL Chapter 701 - The Plane
"I can no longer eat anything anymore!" Marlon stated as his stomach already bloated from eating.
A few seconds later after saying that, the group could see that Tim is now returning to escort them back to the airplane. He is with the pilot of the private airplane that as she also introduced herself to the group.
"Thank you for waiting. We shall now board the airplane as your baggage are already fully inspected. Please follow me to the jet bridge." Tim stated as he also will be going with the group in order to finish the job that is assigned to him.
"Please do not find offense on my question, Mr. Adrian. I want to ask how long you have been playing the game?" Tim asked as he is actually working for the owner of Atlas Inc. He wanted to know how a teenage player managed to get the attention of the creator of the game.
"Oh! I have been playing for less than a year already." Adrian stated which shocked Tim as a player that has played the game for less than a year managed to become a special guest for the biggest event in the game that is held in real life.
"It seems that Mr. Adrian is very great in the game for you to be invited as a special guest. Also, I thank Mr. Richard for scaring the team manager that handles the game in your area. He is my drinking buddy, and I am very much entertained about his constant rants about your intense aura." Tim stated as he gave a little chuckle.
The whole group arrived at the jet bridge of the airport. Their biometrics were scanned before they enter the jet bridge as this is the only way to pass through. In the current year, security has been the focus of the innovation in technology which is why countries with great instability due to criminals are no longer worried.
When everyone passed the security check, they are shocked with the interior of the airplane that they will be boarding. They expected it to be a normal private plane that has limited seats, but the inside is much different than reality.
The group felt like they came inside a high-class restaurant as the seats were like extravagant couches. There is even a minibar that greeted them upon entry which impressed even Adrian\'s father. The staff inside of the private plane also exuded the professionalism of those that work in five-star class hotels or restaurants.
"Now this is what you call LUXURY." Mina stated as this is the first time that she has seen something like this despite always using the first-class seating in all her travels abroad.
"This is very different to first-class that I am even doubting that we are inside of an airplane." Adrian muttered as the rest immediately headed to the seats that are given to them.
"Oh! This seat is even much better than my own bed at home. I would be able to sleep in this chair with bliss." Marlon stated.
"I am pretty sure that you will seeing that you ate a lot." Jade stated but she could immediately hear snoring when she looked at Marlon\'s direction.
"He was very excited about this trip that he barely had time to sleep." Adrian explained which made Tim chuckle a little as he did not expect such cute interactions with a group of players that are said to be leading the game of Pandemonium to its golden era.
In fact, Tim knows the group and their in-game avatars as he is also an avid player of Pandemonium. If one were to say it, he is a big fan of Marlon that is now in a deep sleep. He is also a player that is from the priest class, and he likes to watch the movements of other priest players in order to become better in the game.
Tim is actually a follower of famous priest players, and he could confidently say that Marlon is in the top three in terms of micro-control. He has great healing reflex that does not even increase his aggro due to over heal. In fact, Tim has never encountered the Levin Cloud to ever get attacked by monsters due to the over heal status.
"Please do not be shy when you need something as I made sure that we have everything you need from refreshments and great food. We are going to fly for eight straight hours after all." Tim stated.
Despite the increase in technology, the speed of travel when it comes to aviation has not changed much. It has not changed much as a lot of accidents happened when faster airplanes were created in the past. In the end, the world council decided to increase safety and comfortability of travelers instead of reducing travel speed.
In fact, the travel side-effects like jet lag have been almost reduced to nothing due to this innovation. It was a step in the right direction that they must prioritize the well-being and safety of the customers rather than earning more money from travel time being reduced.
In fact, when a series of accidents happened when travel time was greatly reduced, the people of the world almost boycotted travelling via the air or even sea. This made the travelling industry plummet as only about 10% of the world travelled that year. This became a major turning point for the advancement of technology.
"Before I forget, you can actually access the new Pandemonium Net application in this plane. It is the current virtual reality chat room that is made for the community. It is highly sought out by users right now since its release.
We wanted to install a gaming pod here but there are strict aviation laws to follow which is why only the helmet version of the VR device can be used when travelling via air." Tim stated before resting in his own chair.
====
Adrian seated himself in the comfiest airplane and connected his VR helmet to his haloswatch. He wanted to try the new Pandemonium Net application that is available to everyone as long as they have an active subscription of Pandemonium.
He fitted the VR helmet to his head and nodded that it fits perfectly. He wanted to check the new application as is a great buzz among the community. It is also a great application to talk to your friends in the game or just meet new people to share ideas with.
[Diving to the Pandemonium Net. User is being scanned. Welcome MyCraftySon.]
"I should really change that username that dad set up. Then again I am too lazy to do that so might forget it after this." Adrian thought as he is suddenly sent into a cute little house.
[Please design your Pandemonium Net avatar!]
[Your Pandemonium account has been detected. Do you want to have a template similar to your character in Pandemonium for use in the Pandemonium Net?]
"Oh! I want that feature as it is said to be like a chibi version of your character. Then again, the avatars here in Pandemonium Net is chibis. Yes! Create a template that is similar to my character in Pandemonium." Adrian stated.
[Creation of template complete. Now showing.]
A panel then appeared in front of Adrian as a cute version of his in-game avatar popped up in front of him. It kept the blue and white hair motif and even the eyes to a perfect replica. The only thing that is not copied are the clothes as it is not part of the template.
It seems that there are community points and special features in Pandemonium Net. These special features are very useful in giving access to areas in Pandemonium Net. There are actually NPCs in this application that can give hints about whereabouts of certain items and monster as long as you find them.
This is the feature that made this application famous as it is not only a way for players to help each other by giving information. It is also a way for the developers to help players that are stuck in their current situation.
"My cute avatar does not even have any clothes." Adrian stated but a notification popped up.
[Your titles have been successfully assessed and rewards would be given to you.]
Adrian is impressed as a stream of clothing suddenly flooded his house inventory because of his titles. It seems that the application is really a way to give players other content when they are bored or unable to advance to the game.
He tried different clothes but liked the one given by the First Dragon Tamer title as it is cool looking with the fire and dragon scale effects.. Adrian did not enter Pandemonium Net without a purpose as he wanted to find hints about the light and dark attribute monsters in the game as they are the rarest and most difficult to find ever.
