26. Into the Antican Territory.

"Hey man, did you just complete your Class Advancement Ceremony?" A player addressed Sunny the moment he regained his bearing with a cheerful tone.

The player appeared to be around 25 years of age with red hair, black eyes, and a light red goatee. Sunny looked at the young player and a name surfaced in his mind immediately. 'Chill Cultivator.'

Sunny nodded as an answer to Chill's question. Chill is a kind of celebrity. He was a notorious player in the VRGame: 'Realms of Shocking Cultivation'. Notorious for chasing after every beautiful female NPC. Jade beauties and such...

"Awesome! I just reached level 20 and came here for the Class Advancement. Can you share some tips with me?" Chill asked.

Sunny: "Do you have any Class Advancement Token?"

Chill shook his head and asked while making a heavy expression, "What's that? Is it necessary for Class Advancement? Where can I get it? Is it available for purchase? How-"

Sunny raised his hand and stopped Chill from continuing. He then answered in a calm and steady tone, "A Class Advancement Token is an item that can be used to choose a specific route.

"When a player goes for Class Advancement without any such token, they will be first asked to choose their specific class. For a mage, it is Elemental Mage or Summoner Mage. A Fighter gets to choose between Berserker or Warrior. And so on...

"If you have Class Advancement Token, you will be asked if you want to use it. Then you will get the class according to the token details."

Sunny stopped for a breather and then continued, "Come here and see this."

Sunny waved his hands and opened the Auto-Auction House interface. A player can check the status of their items on auction from anywhere. They don't have to be physically present at the Auto-Auction House.

He enabled his interface to be shown to Chill. Chill saw the details of the item [Snow Wolf Summoner]-C on the interface.

He closed the interface a moment later and continued speaking, "The player who uses this token will become a summoner mage specifically a Monster Tamer with the ability to summon the [Snow Wolf] monster species.

"But, if the same player goes the advancement ceremony without this token and chose the summoner mage option he will have to choose from the four basic summoner choices viz. Druids, Monster Tamer, Elementalist, and Necromancer. They will then be assigned random summon from their category.

"For an elemental mage, the four basic choices are Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth elements. For a warrior, the choices are Sword, Spear, Shield, and Hammer Warrior. And so on...

"That's all."

Finished with his speech, Sunny looked quietly at Chill who was digesting his words with a pondering look on his face.

"Thank you, man! I am really grateful that you shared such precious information with me. You have to accept my friend request. I will definitely pay you back somehow. What's your username? Mine is Chill Cultivator 093."

Sunny shook his head and replied, "No need, I was going to post the information on the forum in a few moments anyway. Good day."

Sunny left after saying his piece.

Sunny usually doesn't like to speak much. Much less with a stranger he just met.

But, yesterday after logging out he thought about his inability to negotiate, lack of proper etiquette, etc. His lack of social skills may come back to bite him in the future.

That's why he allocated some of his free time after logging out every day to watch videos or tips to increase his social skills. The most common advice he found in the few videos and tips he watched was to speak more and learn through experience.

That's why, when Chill asked him the questions about Class Advancement, he didn't shove him aside by saying things like, "You can find the information on the forum" or just leaving after saying some superficial things.

Another reason he spoke so much was that before explaining he had asked Aurora to record his following statements in text form and save them as a draft in his VR Forum profile.

As he was exiting the Mage Building, he went through the draft, edited some things, and then post the information on the forum. For free this time.

Sunny then checked the time. 6:33 Am (GMT+5:30).

'It's already evening. I didn't even feel the flow of time. Fun time indeed passes pretty fast.'

After checking the time, he went to the Newbie Training Ground to prepare for his next adventure. When he logs in tomorrow, all the items put in the auction would be sold.

With the coins from Gobuta's secret treasure stash and the coins from the item sale, he will more options to buy appropriate items for his next adventure.

~~~~~

The next day, after Sunny logged in, he first went to buy the items that he planned to buy last night before going to sleep.

Then, he walked toward the Central Plaza. At the entrance of the Noble Sector, there is a 1 story ancient building. This building is actually a teleportation zone that only players can use.

One just had to pay 500 Gold Coins to travel between any city of their respective race.

Sunny went inside and just like he expected, the inside was fully empty except for a big round and intricate pattern on the ground. He received a notification from Aurora the moment he stepped inside.

"Player Chaos 273 is now inside a teleportation runic pattern. Please choose your destination.

1. The Gandhi City.

2. The Linguss Capital City.

3. The Ville City.

...

8. The Pueblos City.

9. The Orland City.

...

14. The Kagami Mount City.

..."

Sunny chose option no. 8, the Pueblos City.

"The Pueblos City is selected. Happy Journey!"

Right after he heard that Sunny's vision blacked out and he lost consciousness. A few moments later, he found himself standing inside a space similar to the teleportation building in Indraprastha City.

Just that this time instead of light blue colored walls, the walls were of yellow color. He went outside and found the scenery completely different from Indraprastha City.

The buildings outside were of medieval UFE (United Federation of Europe) style instead of ancient eastern type buildings of the Indraprastha City.

Sunny looked around in wonder for a few minutes before he walked along the West Main Road after passing through the Central Plaza of the Pueblos City.

In the Pueblos City, Noble, Residential, Military, and Market Sectors are located in the south-east, north-east, south-west, and north-west direction respectively.

Very few players were traversing along the West Main Road, just like the players avoided going towards the south of the Indraprastha City.

The Pueblos City was located on the western edge of the CloudFlare Empire. The west of Pueblos City is occupied by a desert region. It is called the Aedilis Desert.

Anticans are known to be good at traveling through the desert region. Because of this, the security at this border is a few times greater than the security at the Gob-Smuch forest.

Every few minutes patrol teams of fifteen to twenty soldiers can be seen roaming the desert borders. And each patrol team must have at least one elemental mage with Sand element.

The desert ends forty kilometers away from the West City Gate.

The Antica race territory is basically divided into two regions. The outer desert region- Aedilis Desert. The inner region- Torringrood Mountains. The mountainous region is full of lush green valleys and verdant trees.

The Anticans create their colonies in the space between mountains and disguise them as small hills.

Anyway, Sunny crossed the desert with minimal trouble due to the item [Sand Essence Token]. Upon crushing it, he was covered in a sandy smell and his presence diminished drastically in the sandy region.

His senses were also sharpened dramatically towards any moment in space fifty meters around him. This is a type of hidden benefit he got due to the space element.

With these two factors in play, Sunny crossed the desert in just one hour and thirty-six minutes.

His destination this time is a colony of a declining Antican noble family. There was no internal fighting among the Anticans.

But, if a particular Antican queen didn't breed quality soldiers for some time, its colony will be sent close to the outer region and the particular colony's social standing will decrease.

The situation of Sunny target this time is also something like this.

This particular colony had once produced an excellent soldier for the Antica race. Even the Antican Empress of that time had personally praised and rewarded them bountifully.

But, due to their strict rules, this colony was unable to stay on top of the Antican social ladder. But, they had something that should be able to change their social standing from bottom to top in one shot. An unknown black-colored token with cell division marking in silver color on it.

This was something that the excellent soldier had left behind. The Antican Empress had approved of this as well.

Since she didn't know its uses she allowed this colony to keep this black-colored token.
