Chapter 154 - The Last Stand (III)
Morning arrived. I managed to rest for a bit at night but and now I am refreshed and ready to start the new day.
Since Pandora and Suhei are about to move today, I asked the siblings to clean up the two rooms on the second floor, the room near the balcony and the room next to it. Since Pandora has to stay indoors most of the time due to her illness, she will be frequent on the balcony.
There are only a few things to do in the rooms and the siblings only just needed to clean up some specks of dust and clear up some of the clutter. Other than that, nothing much to do except arrange and put up the necessities in the room. I also helped them a little bit but there isn't much to get busy into.
"Big brother, I heard there will be a broadcast about the Pioneer Quest battle since the progress is now in the final stages. Are you going to appear there?
" Sora asked.
"A broadcast?
"
"Yes, brother. Players of Alternate World can view the stream inside the game and those who have no access to the game yet can also see the live stream with their phones or computers too as social media will also broadcast it. So even though I am blind in real life, I can watch big brother while we are inside the game!
"
"Heh, of course, big brother will be there. You guys will be proud of me if I appear in the broadcast! Tune on it later!
"
"Are the enemies in Sandurk hard like what the other players said? Some of the people in towns keep gossiping about the enemies in Sandurk are said to be really strong compared to the monsters in Resurgia Continent,
" Akira asked.
I rubbed my chin as I try to recall if they are hard or not for beginners like the siblings.
"Not really, you can just treat Sandurk as the mid-game type of place. Not too hard but not too easy either. If Sandurk became available for all players, I suggest that you need to be around level 75 or above to have a decent experience. The gear doesn't matter much so don't worry about it.
"
"Got it. We are in level 60 already and we will try to push our levels to 70 soon.
"
"How about gears and equipment?
"
"It is fine, Big Brother. We got a full gear of Rare Tier Equipment already. They have decent stats but if we get better gear, we will exchange them since they are pretty much replaceable,
" Sora said.
"Once the Pioneer Quests are over, I will accompany you guys to a good place to level up in Resurgia, maybe even in Sandurk and I will carry you guys until the two of you can handle the dangers of Sandurk. If things go well during the final phase of the battle in Sandurk, maybe we can finish it much earlier.
"
"Promise us that, Big Brother. I also can't wait to fight with you!
" Akira grinned as he expresses his excitement.
Then, the doorbell rings.
"Looks like the two moving in these rooms are here.
"
"Let me get the door,
" Akira said and run towards the doorway, opening it.
Pandora and Suhei are both in the doorway, with the former in a wheelchair while carrying a small handbag, while Suhei is currently the one moving the wheelchair of Pandora.
"Good morning, Manato-kun. I hope we are not disturbing anything due to our arrival,
" Suhei said.
"No worries, we were just preparing the rooms for you guys. You guys are free to settle down and arrange your rooms whenever you like.
"
"Well, that was a little bit convenient. Thanks for letting us know we are welcomed. Anyways, I hope we get along just fine until my sister recovers,
" Suhei said and extended his hands.
"Welcome aboard.
"
We helped them carry their luggage, however, they only dropped off the luggage and said that they will have to go to the hospital and check up on Pandora's health.
Because no one from us in this household will always be outside, I handed the extra spare key of the mansion to enter the house without us. That way, they would not stay outside the door and wait till someone opens the door which is pretty unlikely especially during the afternoon since we will be playing Alternate World during that time, and it will be shameful to let them stay like that.
They left after putting all of their baggage to their rooms. We invite them for breakfast but they declined since they are already behind the schedule of the checkup so I didn't bother to hold them any longer.
...
When I went back to my room after breakfast, I check up the stream that Sora told me earlier. I also remembered something happened like this in the past timeline and it was ridiculed because of how noobish the players handle the final boss that they have to rely on Queen Tanya to defeat it. Although many ridiculed the event, they praised some of the players who give out their all during that time. Harmless Sparrow is one of them since she managed to accrue quite a good amount of influence after.
Since the situation is different, maybe the raid will be a breeze this time.
Opening the details for the live stream, I found out that the Nexus Company themselves are the one who did this. Though it is logical since no other players aside from the Pioneers are capable of playing in Sandurk Continent right now so even if we have reporter players in the game who wants to stream the event raid, they can't do anything about it and they won't get any special privileges either to enter the new continent without being a Pioneer.
Looking at the comments, many of the playerbase are excited on the new things in Sandurk and what things they can do in this region. The stream is scheduled this afternoon which means they will be starting to do the live stream during the morning in the game.
Knowing this, I am eager to show off my abilities in the masses. Now that I am ready to power up with all the resources in the game, playing in incognito is no longer a good option. Time to show all the players what I can do.
