[NR] Chapter 259 - How You Considered Buying Avatar+? (Patreon)

{Warnings: Use of NeoRealm avatar in your personal room does not affect the avatar in NeoRealm. Nothing new can be done with the avatar while in your personal room and skills can not be used. If you would like to practice with skills or try new things, you may instead pay for the Avatar+ package. This will increase the cost you pay by a break. Avatar+ still affects nothing in NeoRealm. It is purely to get used to the movements of your skills.}

{Would you like to continue with the purchase of the regular avatar package or would you like to upgrade to Avatar+?}

Jason laughs, “And there’s the stinger! Trying to trick me? Well, let me tell you, I have eyes and basic math skills. Don’t try to pull that bit with increasing the cost by a break. Each break doubles the cost of the previous tier. Still, sign me up for a month of the normal avatar package.”

{Would you like to sign up for a year of time at a 20% discount?}

Jason rolls his eyes, “No, I just want to buy a month of the normal avatar package.”

{1 month of the normal avatar package purchased for 4 gold coins. Would you like to activate the package or instead pay 3 gold coins and 20 silver coins in a one time offer to upgrade your normal avatar package to the Avatar+ package?}

Jason sighs, “Well, I found one of the places where the marketers got their grubby mitts on the game. Just activate the normal avatar package that I bought, please.”

{Normal avatar package being activated. Please lay down to be rendered unconscious so that the changes can take effect.}

Jason rubs the bridge of his nose, “Can the changes just take effect while I’m playing NeoRealm?”

{Activation of the Normal avatar package can be done over the time while one is within a game. Do note that the month you have purchased starts when the package finishes activating and not when you next enter your personal room. Knowing this, do you still want to activate the package while within the game NeoRealm?}

Jason nods, “Yes, activate the package when after I enter NeoRealm.”

{Desire to activate the package upon entering NeoRealm has been confirmed. Have a nice day.}

Jason shakes his head. ‘That took more effort than necessary.’

He stretches and with a yawn hops into NeoRealm and wakes up in the room Peter and Gregor allowed him to use. From the den, Jason can hear some chatter so heads out to see what is up this early. Though once he opens his door, he doesn’t have to wonder as the smell of something delicious washes over him.

Jason wanders into the den and plops down on one of the beanbag chairs. On another chair Peter looks up, “Not much sleep last night?”

Jason shrugs, “Had some stuff to do on the other side. I actually plan to spend most of this week handling some things there. I can catch up on sleep later.”

Peter laughs, “Isn’t that how it always is? Anyway, breakfast is some leftover soup from last night over some freshly baked buns. Oh, and how are you doing with your new skill? Gregor brought me up to speed on it and I have to say, you picked a good one.”

Jason sighs, “Technically I can get the skill any time I want. In reality, while working on it, I dug up some troubles that will take a good deal of time to sort out. Because of that, I’m going to take a little time to work around the nonsense.”

Peter shrugs, “If you don’t end up with some hidden problems from when you first start out, all that would mean is you haven’t found the problems yet. At least you figured it out early on. So what went wrong? It’ll be nice to hear how you failed for once.”

Jason leans forward to grab some bread and soup before responding. “Meh, you wouldn’t want to hear about it.”

Peter takes a moment to think about it and then recoils. Gregor off to the side chuckles, “You knew what he was going to be messing with and you still asked. Oh, and Jason, once everyone has gone off to do their thing, let me take a look at your pinky. We sort of forgot about it last night.”

Jason nods, “I don’t see any reason why not.”

Peter sits back up, “Why you gotta mess with the System?”

Jason laughs, “Because the System messed with me first? But if I was to be serious? I don’t really consider it messing with the System. After all, the System is quite vocal when you start doing that. I have gotten no messages, warning, or pokes from the System about what I am doing. Honestly? At this point it should know exactly what I am doing.”

Gregor shakes his head, “Peter, Peter, Peter. Not everyone is antagonistic with the System. I’m sure whatever Jason is doing is within what is allowed. Plus? He’s a Traveller. They always get the silk glove treatment.”

Jason shrugs, “I would more say we play under a different rule set. There are things you can get away with that we wouldn’t even get a warning over. Of course, that is because every one of us should very much know about it. No need to warn if the rules are written out for us ahead of time.”

Gregor nods, “It is interesting what us Locals can say as compared to you, Travellers. You guys clearly know more about the origins of the System, yet at the same time seem to have a very limited knowledge of the current System. Even now, hundreds of years since you all showed up and despite what is clearly some kind of highly sophisticated method of communication, you just miss some things. Not that I can tell you. The System doesn’t just limit what knowledge Travellers can pass on.”

After that the group chatter stears more towards what the others plan to do today and before they know it, breakfast is finished. Everyone else heads out or returns to their rooms while Jason and Gregor stay behind in the den.
