There is a box inside is another box and inside that is another box is there an end

On the second day, the sales of Chen Feng's loot boxes entered a new height. By word of mouth, they became even more popular as more and more people find out about the existence of this cheap yet unique research paper.
Buy, buy, buy!
After being used to all sorts of expensive prices all this time, they were sure that these loot boxes of Chen Feng's sold at one point per box were in fact extremely cheap! A lot of them did not need the solution for too many of the problems, so by purchasing these loot boxes, they would be able to purchase the solution they wanted for an extremely cheap price! If they were lucky, only a slight amount of points would be required!
Besides that, a single point was sufficient for them to obtain the solution for one of the top 100 problems. The solution for these problems would normally be worth at least 30 points per solution! Now, if one was lucky enough, one would be able to get the solutions for the problems with the highest difficulty in one go, how profitable! Based on their experience, the solutions for these highest-difficulty problems would normally be worth 100 points per solution!
Here, Chen Feng was selling them like some random cabbages!
Buy, buy, buy, buy!
Everyone was going crazy. At all the branches, producers were going on shopping sprees.
Further agitating everyone was the news released this morning: Chen Feng's loot box would stop selling in one month's time.
That was also the time in which the competition for this year's excellence award would end.
Shua!
This caused an uproar.
"Damn, there's a time limit?"
"I knew Chen Feng was only selling it this cheap to get the excellence award…"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, quick, buy quick."
"I don't care if the solution I get is something I needed or not, just buy it first before deciding what to do with it."
Everyone was going crazy.
Even those who would normally not buy any research papers started buying a bunch of Chen Feng's loot boxes when they heard this.
This was simply the sale of the century. If they were to miss this, the same thing might never appear again. Buying the loot boxes became the only common topic of all producers.
In the learning forum… at all branches… almost all producers were talking about this.
Someone posted a thread. "Hahaha, I managed to get an SSR-tier drop with a single contribution point!"
"Wow, I envy your luck."
"Is this for real?"
"666666666."
Countless people replied.
Similar threads appeared without stop. There was nothing one could do about this, as the amount of people who had bought the loot boxes was simply too high. Due to the huge amount, there would be a small amount of lucky ones that managed to get a high-difficulty solution from the loot boxes, which would tempt the other producers to continue buying without stop. As for the unlucky ones, they were too busy buying new loot boxes instead of posting threads documenting their bad luck.
Chen Feng's public image and popularity were increasing without stop. This caused an uproar so huge that even non-producers heard of it. Once again, Chen Feng became the trending topic.
Currently, Chen Feng had secretly returned to his rented room at Gold City. He was silently reading all the posted threads as he lamented inwardly: What a bunch a naive kids…
In his memories, back then, when free to pay games with microtransactions had first been released, this was how he'd behaved as well. It was a free game! The spring of the gaming era had arrived…
Next… he finally got a clear understanding on what "free" meant, what "cheap" meant, and what "RNG" meant!
In this world where strength reigned supreme, economic studies were not popular. As such, the economic structure here was quite lacking compared to Chen Feng's previous world, to the point where items such as loot boxes had never appeared here before.
Shua!
Shua!
The figures running in the background changed without stop. Only the seller, Chen Feng, knew how terrifying this figure had reached. Based on the records, currently, the highest amount a single buyer had spent on the loot boxes was no less than 20,000 contribution points!
The amount of contribution points this guy had spent was still increasing. In other words, this sad brother here had failed to get the solution he'd wanted from the loot boxes?
Chen Feng tried checking his records. Mhm… This guy had a full collection of all R-tier and SR-tier drops. As for SSR-tier drops, he still lacked one to complete his collection.
He had gotten 200 sets of SSR-tier drops from the loot boxes. However, among them, he kept getting repeat drops from the loot boxes, with the highest repeat solution at 50 times while the lowest at 10 times. As for the particular drop he required, he had yet to obtain it from the loot boxes.
"How pitiful…"
Chen Feng mourned for him.
This brother here was truly extremely unlucky!
Apart from this brother here, there was also a huge amount of unlucky gamblers who had also spent several thousand or several tens of thousands contribution points. Nearly all of those who had spent this much were all trying to get some particular SSR-tier drop.
Chen Feng exhaled in relief. "Fortunately, I left Star City in time."
"Hu—"
From the amount of contribution points those people could afford to spend, it was obvious that these were all super-powerful seniors. If his location was discovered by them…
Mhm…
He might not be able to avoid getting beaten up. However, as Chen Feng studied the records, in two short days, the contribution points he had earned had surpassed 80% of the producers based at the research institute. Moreover, his contribution points were increasing without stop at an extremely fast speed, with the speed increasing as well!
This method of sale was truly quite scam-like. However, it was also undeniably an undefeated method. Naturally, the premise of this succeeding was to first ensure that his popularity and prestige were sufficient. Otherwise, he would most probably end up getting himself chopped into pieces by some angry gamblers…
He recalled that in his previous life, there had been one particular author called "Minus Ninety Degrees."
Although this guy was tall, handsome, and wrote some good stories, due to pirates, his income had been too low. There had been several times where he'd almost stopped writing because of that. Next, this author had requested Chen Feng's advice. Chen Feng had given this guy a good method of making money: RNG-style novels!
That's right, RNG-style novels. Only a single subscription point was required to read each chapter. However, for each chapter:
Fifty percent probability of it being a filler chapter.
Forty percent probability of it being a chapter where the main plot progressed.
Ten percent probability of it being a chapter where the story reached a climax.
One percent of probability of it being the conclusion of that particular arc.
What a perfect system!
It was rumored that, subsequently, in the first month after he'd implemented that system, his remuneration had reached six figures, creating a miracle. However, he had subsequently disappeared. According to the rumors, he was still being hunted by his readers or something…
As Chen Feng thought of that, he sighed endlessly.
To forge iron, one's own body had to be strong as well. This was a sales method not everyone would dare to implement.
"Two more days at most."
A toying smile appeared on Chen Feng's face.
Soon, these people would all experience for themselves the horror of RNG!
As of now, they were all still happily gambling on the loot boxes. For the casual gamblers who only spent 10 to 20 contribution points on the loot boxes, they would obtain a huge amount of R-tier and SR-tier drops with a low amount of repeat drops. As such, these people would start talking about their success online, attracting the envy of countless people. If one was lucky enough to obtain an SSR-tier drop, one would be able to create an uproar online.
Was that worth the contribution points? For these people, of course it was!
However, when the producers that truly needed these solutions to solve their problems saw this, their hearts would start aching as they noticed how low the probability was for them to get the solution they wanted out of the 100 solutions a loot box might contain.
This was especially true when there was simply no limit placed on repeat solutions one might obtain.
This was too scam-like, right?
If the solution they wanted was some R-tier drop, it was somewhat easier, since the amount of R-tier drops were higher. Hence, the probability for it to appear would be higher. If the solution they wanted was some SR-tier drop, it would be somewhat harder. If it was some SSR-tier drop… they might as well kneel down and start praying for good luck.
"Something seems wrong with this, right?"
Some started realizing the issue. Fortunately, these people were still blaming their luck for this instead of questioning Chen Feng's method of sale.
Suddenly, a thread called "Bastard Chen Feng! Refund me my contribution points!" appeared at the learning forum. This caused a huge uproar.
The content of the thread:
"Bastard Chen Feng, refund me my contribution points! All those SSR-tier threads posted on the forum must be fake, right? Do SSR-tier solutions even exist in the loot boxes? I doubt it! For a single SSR-tier solution, I wasted 10,000 contribution points, yet I have not even gotten a single SSR-tier solution! Not a single one! The f*ck are you f*ckers showing off at the forum for? My 10,000 contribution points! F*ck this loot box! Chen Feng, refund my contribution points!"
Bang!
This caused a huge uproar on the whole forum. The only reason for this was because the thread had been posted by a master producer.
If this thread was considered as the fuse, then the first reply to this thread would be the trigger for the fuse, for the upcoming storm.

"Hahahahaha! Fake! It's all fake! There are simply no SSR-tier drops in this loot box! No, don't touch this king here! This king here does not want to eat medicine! This king here is not crazy!! Let this king go. All you traitors are trying to hurt this king!! Protect the king! Protect the king!"


Chen Feng, of modern earth, had suffered bad luck since birth. After finding the legendary “lucky artifact,” his bad luck peaked and he became the only person killed in an earthquake. By a twist of fate, he found himself transmigrated into a different and magical world! A world much larger than earth. A world only partially explored due to the dangers within. A world where human civilization centered around genes. In this world, human beings possessed all sorts of abilities due to genetic fusion. Some went on to create world-changing technologies with their mysterious genetic abilities, while others went on to become undefeated genetic warriors with their combat genetic abilities. How will Chen Feng fare in this new world?

The Bono-dong office was not as crowded as before. There were six full-time staff members and seven kids from Anifan. Jungah came to the office on the weekends.
What mattered to Hyunwoo was not the size of the staff. As the lazy employees were dismissed, those who survived were hard-working people.
In particular, Hyunwoo liked the new hire Kunho Chong, a graduate of Video Imaging College, who Jungah had recommended strongly. 
Slender in figure like a woman, Kunho drew pictures very quickly as Jungah said. 
Though he was not good at details, it was not a big deal.
What Hyunwoo really liked about him was his intelligence. 
Kunho not only drew pictures quickly but also understood and handled his job quickly. Though he was hired only a week ago, he was working like an experienced employee.
Jungkyu Pae, who Kyungsu recommended as an expert specializing in drawing pictures, was also excellent. Though he was not as smart as Kunho, Jungkyu looked dependable and he had a calm personality.
"What should I do with this?" asked Kyungsu, pointing to a screen.
Hyunwoo approached him to check the monitor showing the five video productions he had submitted the Talent Broadcasting.
After pondering over it for a moment, Hyunwoo presented a simple solution. 
"Just upload it in Story Mecca, with the title Special," said Hyunwoo.
"Got it."
Kyungsu posted the five productions all at once under the title Special.
"By the way, when are we going to switch the animation Tuti & Angelica to a paid subscription? It's enjoying explosive popularity in its current free format."
"What's the number of visits for the latest episode?"
"2.2 million."
Actually, the number of visits that Hyunwoo checked last night was 2.1 million. It had increased by 100,000 overnight. 
Over 70% of the visits were from overseas, which meant there were more visits from abroad than from Korea. 
Such a drastic increase was possible thanks to the English dubbing. The moment English dubbing was offered for Tuti & Angelica the upward trend of visits from abroad drastically went up. 
Hyunwoo checked the likely profits when Tuti & Angelica was switched to a paid subscription. If at least 10% of the free visits paid, it would mean 200,000 visitors. If Hyunwoo charged 300 won per episode, it would mean 60 million won. When Hyunwoo divided the revenue between Story Mecca and Ani & Funny at the ratio of 4:6, he would rake in 36 million won.
However, Hyunwoo felt the actual income would be far less than that as he was doubtful about the validity of the statistic that typically 10% of the free riders would continue to stay when the free content was switched to a paid subscription.
Hyunwoo thought about the difference between animation and the genre novel. The biggest difference was the reading population. The main readers of the genre novel were teens and adults while those of the animation works were children. 
Another factor that made Hyunwoo seriously lean toward a paid subscription system was the upward trend. The number of visits was going up and up.
"How many episodes do we have in stock right now?" asked Hyunwoo.
"We've got a total of nine episodes ready to go, and there are over 30 episodes we have to put some finishing touches on."
"Well, for the time being, I would like to maintain the current free subscription system."
Hearing at that Kyungsu felt somewhat regretful.
At that moment, Kunho said something surprising, "Wow, this kind of reaction is unexpected."
"What is it?"
"I mean the Special series we just uploaded."
"Is the reaction good enough?"
Hyunwoo and Kyungsu quickly checked out the computer monitor.
The reaction was something disappointing, though. Though the number of visits was big, the reaction was unfavorable, with visitors complaining about the dull content. 
Kyungsu let out a sigh and said, "What the heck is this? We put a great deal of time and energy in it, but the result makes us mope."
But Hyunwoo reacted differently. His eyes were glittering as if he found hope.
"I don't think so. I think I now know," said Hyunwoo. 
"What do you mean?" asked Kyungsu. 
"Jungah was right. It looks like she has a really wonderful discerning eye," said Hyunwoo. 
"What? Are you talking about me now?" asked Jungah.
"Think about this. Why do you feel the children like that low-budget animation?"
"Well, I don't really understand…"
"It's about change. They are stimulated not only by the change in the story but also the change in the display. They will be more and more thrilled as the story is coming to the climax, and now the screens become more colorful all of a sudden, which fans their excitement all the more."
Only then did Kyungsu and Sanggyu nod their heads, saying "Looks like we have to maintain the current format."
"I think we have found one factor that will make hits."
"How can you change the animation videos?"
"Bring in more screen changes than now."
"How?"
Hyunwoo now explained to them in great excitement, "As you know, the current animation puts emphasis on the highlighted one-minute portion of the ten-minute length. In other words, just one change. From now on the whole ten minutes should be full of changes in screen."
"Specifically, how?"
"Why don't you emphasize the psychological changes of the main character?"
What Hyunwoo meant was that every time the main character's psychological change needed attention, it should be intensively highlighted in one to three seconds. For example, when the main character was shy, angry or burst into laughter. 
"Oh, that kind of change will certainly have an effect, but you have to expect a delay in the production period as well as an increase in production costs," said Kyungsu.
"No, you can save the cost and production days," said Hyunwoo.
"Really? How?"
"Well, you don't have to make the change every time the main character's mood changes. If you prepare specific facial expressions in advance, you can just use them like a formula. You don't have to make a new one," said Hyunwoo.
That made sense. For example, assuming the main character's facial expression needs two seconds for a slight change, 30 changes would save them one minute of production time. 
Now, Hyunwoo's voice was full of vigor, suggesting he was confident of success.
In fact, he had no fear of failure.
He suddenly thought about when he initially founded Ani & Funny. He was only concerned with the growth of the Anifan kids, not revenues or profits. 
Though he was in a different situation now, he felt he should not give up his initial intention. 
"Then, I think we should develop the main character's facial expressions in a variety of ways," Kyungsu said.
"Let me tell Myunghun about it. In the meantime, can you work on the script for the new animation? From now on, we will upload various stories simultaneously," said Hyunwoo.
"Alright. Hey, Yujong, can you help me? I've got lots of work to do from now on," said Kyungsu.
"Yes, sir!" answered Yujong spiritedly.
Seeing them elated again, Hyunwoo was buoyant with expectations.
He had dinner with the staff of Ani & Funny that evening. 
It was already nearing 7 pm, and Hyunwoo stood up hurriedly.
"I'm afraid I have to leave now as I have an appointment."
They were all aware of what kind of appointment it was. Today was the day when Korean Broadcasting would air the first installment of the special series KOVE DREAM.
After he came out of the restaurant, Hyunwoo headed for the House of Happiness to watch it with the staff of N&C Korea.
As the dormitory next to the warehouse of N&C Korea was too small, all the staff could not get inside to watch the KOVE special. 
Sungrak and Juhwan, the staff managing the warehouse, were already there waiting for him.
"Welcome, sir."
"Please have a seat here."
The KOVE special was already on air. Hyunwoo watched it over beer with the staff,
The special was produced much better than expected. In particular, they almost got choked up when the portion containing some patriotic content was aired.
The special program was a three-part series, and Korea Broadcasting aired the program at the same time slot for three days.
Those who watched the series showed an enthusiastic reaction.
As soon as the series was over, the internet homepage of Korea Broadcasting was inundated with the feedback and encouragement from those who watched it.
All the staff of N&C Korea yelled for joy.
"Hooray! We'll be making lots of money, from now on, right?"
"I think I'm dreaming now!"
However, it was an empty dream.
Less than one week after Korea Broadcasting aired the special, Seoul Broadcasting aired 'Dream Korea' as if to compete against it.
And the content of Dream Korea slandered the KOVE DREAM special, questioning the validity of KOVE DREAM's argument that it's a coalition of the dream teams of Korea. And it showed the interview of Hyongbok Lee who was the leader of Dream Korea.

**Munpia Novels**

------
The previous chapters were mistakenly released under 《Remember The Name》. It's finally fixed.

I spent the rest of the night doing quests for the starter town's four main shopkeepers and Mayor, increasing my relationship with them to a 'revered' state and earning friend requests from each of them. As for the other NPCs in the town, such as the extraneous craftsmen in the crafting hall and the return scroll vendor, their attitude didn't change when they saw my new title. They continued acting like computer programs, which the active NPCs explained away by saying 'they must have quit after the update' or 'they might not be paying attention right now'.
Eventually, toward the end of my playtime for the night, every one of the five NPCs who'd befriended me spread their hands at me to say they had nothing left.
"I'm sorry, my friend," the Mayor said. "This is still only a beginner village, so I can't offer you anything more. To advance, you'll need to move on to the next towns on the road to the underwater Capital. You have a choice between three paths. Beyond the Cerulean Caves to the South, you'll find a new area called Oyster Hollow. It is a murky place where pearls can be found in abundance, but so can vicious swarms of saltwater payara.
To the North, beyond the Cerulean Forest, is the Forgotten Battlefield, which is where you'll find the stereotypical area full of jagged ridges and shipwrecks. The area is intended to be a salvage yard, although I doubt it'll see much of its intended use. Aside from that, it's also a good place to farm for treasure chests, dubloons, and lobsters, but you have to watch out for squids and poisonous stonefish.
And to the East, past the Cerulean Plains, you'll find the Field of Ruins. It is the resting place for an ancient forgotten city and home to Brine Lake—the entrance to the Briny Dungeon. You can find bull manatees grazing among the grass and there are various mini-games scattered through the area, waiting to be uncovered. The biggest mini-game is the Sea Witch's Tower and it's somewhat hard to miss."
"What's to the West?" I asked.
The Mayor blinked at me in surprise. "You haven't been yet? Well, to be honest, there isn't much there at all. There's a small island chain where players can harvest laverweeds from the rocks along the shore. It's a slimy kind of seaweed that can be used to make the dried nori wraps used in sushi recipes. There are also sea turtles, seagulls, and eggs of both species on the islands, but everything beyond there is a barren ocean flat. I believe the islands were only created to give aquatic players a place to experience the transition to land. Before the update, the change from water pressure to air pressure was much harder to deal with. Now, I believe it's almost negligible."
"I see. Then I guess I'll check out the next maps in the other three directions and see which ones I can explore without dying."
"Before you go, I have a suggestion to make. You can hide any title you possess, including the title 'NPC friend'. I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but hiding it will make your game easier in the future. You won't have other players asking how you received it and you won't have low level NPCs trying to take advantage of you. You seem like an honest kid and I'd hate for anyone to target you because the people of Cerulean Lagoon befriended you."
"Tell me how to do that," I replied. He walked me through the process of hiding my title, then nodded in satisfaction when it disappeared from my visible status.
"Good," he said in approval. "Those of us on your friends list will still treat you as a friend, but other NPCs will act like NPCs unless you have some reason to flash your title. Just be careful about who you choose to share it with. No matter what the title claims, not all NPCs are necessarily your friend. Showing off the title only unlocks the remote interactions option and lets them know you're aware of our secret. It doesn't actually do anything else."
I smiled over his concern for me. "I'll be careful."
So it wouldn't be awkward later, I logged out at the edge of town to make it easier to leave when I logged in again.
My parents were already awake and cooking breakfast when I climbed out of bed. They asked how my night went and I told them about my weird hidden quest as we ate.
"It was really, really weird," I exclaimed between bites of scrambled eggs. "I wonder if it's one of those things where all the NPCs have multiple reaction modes depending on whether you have the title showing or not. Or I've heard some games use employees to roleplay as NPCs. It gives them a chance to personally collect data—meaning it was someone across the country instead of across the universe. The hidden quest could be an easter egg proving I encountered a hidden Dev and my title may trigger the administrative takeover of any NPC whenever I flash it. That could come in handy if I use it at the right time. I just have to be careful not to abuse it or they might start ignoring it."
"You never know," my dad teased. "Maybe she was telling the truth and she really is an alien entity playing another version of the game. Isn't Aetherscape a world where dreams are made real? Lots of people dream of aliens and bodysnatchers."
"Someone had to have been smoking crack to dream that up," my mom commented. "Game developers should be more careful. My parents told me about what happened when reality-bending movies came out in the past. If they give that hidden quest to an unstable person, it could trigger an incident no one wants to see."
"Well, I'm not one of those unstable people, so you don't have to worry." Choosing to change the subject, I asked, "What are your plans today while I'm at the mall?"
Both of my parents froze like I'd broken them. They exchanged startled glances and my mother's expression softened first. "Did you hear that? Our boy is going to the mall."
"And no one is forcing him," my dad continued.
I gagged dramatically like a twelve-year-old and left the table with my parents chuckling behind me.
It didn't take long to get ready. Since I knew tight clothes made for a better rendering scan, I slipped on the form-fitting compression shirt I sometimes used for training, a pair of leggings emblazoned with a dragon print, and a pair of sneakers I could easily slip off.
My mom chased me down as I walked to the curb where I'd parked my car. "Don't forget your face mask," she exclaimed, waving a strip of black cloth at me. "I let you go without it at school, but the mall is another story. You don't go out in public often enough to leave it behind and I don't want to see you coming down with the flu or worse."
I thought she was being overprotective, but I did as she wished and put it on.
Traffic was horrific because it was the weekend. Hordes of office workers were trying to catch up on their personal affairs and students prowled around in search of something fun to fill their time.
The mall had changed quite a bit since my last visit. It was obvious we were tilting closer to having a truly worldwide economy. The branded stores boldly used signs written in the native language of their home country with the English equivalent being an afterthought. That wasn't to say American culture went unrepresented throughout the mall. After all, we were considered kings of cultural appropriation and what said 'American' more than having a stall in the food court hawking combo meals like Kobe street gyros topped in Hawaiian sweet slaw, a side of deep-fried pickles, and Thai milk tea?
The biggest difference I notice was actually in the shoppers themselves. Tweens were out in full force and nothing made me feel more like I was on the verge of adulthood than seeing a clique of short junior high kids arguing over whether they wanted to visit the game store or an accessory store.
I stopped in at the game store myself, curious to see if Aetherscape was being advertised months after its initial release. The answer was: heavily. Another game had a prominent place at the store's entrance, but Aetherscape had filled the entire rear section with posters, fabric wall scrolls, and a game trailer playing on loop on a big screen. They had a capsule system and headset system on display, with a line of people waiting to try it like it'd just come out.
Ignoring the line, I went to read the description placard on the full-body capsule. The price alone was enough to make me walk away, but I continued reading to understand the full benefits of owning one.
The biggest benefit I could see—other than better sleep and improved gameplay experience—was the ability to log in as much as a person wanted. This was possible because the capsule sent impulses through the body using an activity feedback system intended to stave off atrophy. And the specialized gel seating continually shifted a player's body so they wouldn't get bedsores. The placard also claimed the feedback system could assist with passive body sculpting over time. As in, it could help players lose weight and build muscle, which sounded great to me.
Still, that price was totally out of my budget and it would stay out of reach unless I found a high-paying corporate job or the price dropped. I thought the price drop would come first, perhaps when a newer model came out and the older ones became easier to mass-produce.
I strolled over to the swag wall to see what was available for layman shoppers. Some of it made me want to laugh because it was cheesy—generic plushies, hatchable monster eggs, keychains to communicate or feed in-game pets, and collectible trading cards. Some of it was mundane—they had shirts, hats, beanies, wallets, and accessories with a variety of logos I didn't recognize. But most of it didn't fit any category at all, such as the blank 'Sage Journals', full-size foam cosplay weapons, and branded neck pillows based on the game.
The peripheral wall had swag for more mature players. I found a side table display that projected holographic mini-models of famous NPCs and another side table display that continuously updated with the inventory and sales of a player's shop. There were faux terrariums and aquariums that synced with in-game counterparts, a workout mirror with an NPC weapons trainer, and fancy travel cases for 4D helmets. They had coffee cups and scrolling tickers to track in-game currency values. And there were language dictionaries, history books, and wall maps for the true geek fans.
The item that nearly had me pulling out my wallet was the slender boxes of 'skill scrolls'. It came with two things—a fabric wall scroll I could hang up in my room and a code I could apply to my account to receive a matching scroll in the game. In the game, the skill scroll actually imparted a skill to the owner. The box claimed there were twelve skills in total with rare skills being the guaranteed minimum and the legendary skills 'Heaven's Wrath' or 'Hell's Fury' being the possible jackpots.
I escaped the game store before I could make the purchase. No matter how much I wanted it, it was technically a toy and I could live without it.
Returning to my original goal of visiting the 4D Arena, I strolled through the mall with a focused pace and managed to arrive without being entangled by any stall salesmen or question surveyors.
The 4D Arena was a new extension to the mall's poorly lit arcade. It'd completely replaced the neighboring store and seemed to have a working relationship with both the smoothie shop on the far side and the mall itself. The mall had to be supporting it because the surrounding mezzanine had been arranged like a second food court with no less than six televisions scattered on the periphery.
I was somewhat surprised to find the viewing area was the most crowded place in the mall. I knew Aetherscape had to be popular if someone like Sheynan was playing it, but this was... It wasn't on the level of a major convention, but I saw far too many school idols wandering the area. There were core members from the school's athletic teams, a few fairies who were only popular for being pretty, and a handful from the brainy crowd famed for their intelligence.
It felt like I was walking into the school cafeteria again.
I almost retreated, but I started to notice the other people sitting at the tables. There were older people and younger people, too. The age range actually went from an elderly grandpa down to a group of middle school kids. The biggest cross-section wasn't high school students at all—it was made up of local college students and working adults.
Then I noticed the banners.

Aetherscape's newest game update:  Aquatic Races!

Aetherscape is a full immersion game based on the theme of 'dreams'.  High school student Jay isn't a gamer.  He prefers to spend his time reading--preferably away from other people.  He incidentally reads a novel series based on Aetherscape and his curiosity is piqued.  He can actually explore the story's expansive world in full immersion?

How was a noob like Jay supposed to know Underwater zones are historically unpopular?  Not that he cares.  He prefers dealing with predictable NPCs over unpredictable players.

When Aunty Pat took Frank out of the hospital they stop a cab that drive them home. After getting home Aunty Pat asked Frank if he wants anything for supper before going to bed and he said he would love to have instant noodles before turning on the TV and switch the channel to anime series and he sat on the couch while watching naruto shippuden. Meanwhile Aunty Pat was busy taking care of the dirty dishes before preparing noodles for Frank and at the same time chatting with her friends on wechat 5minutes later Aunty Pat walked out of the kitchen while holding a flat plate filled with noodles.
After leaving the kitchen Aunty Pat called Frank to come and take his noodles before heading back to the kitchen to prepare toasted bread and a hot chocolate for herself. When she was done preparing her toasted bread and hot chocolate and she went back to join Frank in the living room. Seeing Frank watching anime and she kind of find it interesting asked Frank. "Frank what is the tittle of the anime you are watching".
When Frank heard her Aunty asking about the anime he's watching he became confused and answer her question "Aunty Pat it's naruto shippuden, why do you ask" replied Frank
"It's nothing,I was just curious which is why I asked you"said Aunty Pat.
"Curious of what"asked Frank.
Seeing that his naphew don't want to drop the topic makes her almost curse him in her mind but then an idea struck her only then did she reply Frank. "It reminds me of a anime series your father and I used to watch back then when we were still kids, which is why I ask you for the title to know if it's still the same anime"
"Oh, okay though naruto shippuden is not a new series but it's still not complete yet" said Frank before turning to face the tv.
"Are you sure is not a new series"asked Aunty Pat.
"Am pretty sure it's not a new series, you can also check Google to confirm your doubt"replied Frank.
"There is no need to check the net for a small matter like this"said Aunty Pat but she was already on the net searching for when they started airing naruto shippuden and was shock to see that it was aired in September 1999 and she quickly checked for the first episode and where to watch it and to her surprised there were many website she could pick from. After discovering where to watch the anime, Aunty Pat quietly went and lay on the couch and put her bluetooth headphones on before establishing a connection between her smartphone and bluetooth headphones and started watching naruto shippuden online.
Meanwhile Frank was busy watching the anime until it came to an end before another another anime was played. He watched anime for a long time before sleeping off without turning off the TV and later on Aunty Pat stopped watching anime after been notified that she had used up 70% of her subscription which made her angry and she started cursing but that was when her phone begins to ring and she looked at it to see who is calling her at this time of the day only to see that it was the young man they met at the fast food Jerry and she became happy, Happy but not because Jerry remember to call and ask how she's feeling but to tell him to help subscribe her smartphone so that she can continue with the anime. She answered the call and said "hello Jerry how are you doing"
"Am okay and you"asked Jerry.
"Am not feeling happy right now"replied Aunty Pat.
"What in the world is it that is making an angel like you said"asked Jerry.
Seeing that her plan is going well and jerry has already fall into her trap she smiled childishly before replying "well I was actually watching this show online since am home and you know my brother and his wife are not around and I was bored but who would have thought that I will run out of subscription".
"Is that the reason why you were not happy these evening"asked Jerry.
"Yes, is annoying right"replied Aunty Pat.
Jerry couldn't help but laugh at Aunty Pat replied. Hearing Jerry sound of laughter from the other side of the phone Aunty Pat pretended she was angry and asked Jerry "and why are you laughing" 
Hearing Aunty Pat tone getting changed to an angry one he suppress his laughter before replying "it's nothing, about the subscription you can leave that to me, in 5 minutes time after I hangup the call I will send you some okay".
"Okay "said Aunty Pat.
  "I said am going to send you later are you still not happy"asked Jerry.
"Of course am happy now and thank you for your understanding"replied Aunty Pat while dancing in the living room that she will be able to continue with her anime again.but that was when she remembered that she had not asked Jerry why he's calling her at this time and she quickly asked him. "so why are you calling at this time"
"Because I miss you and could not sleep"replied Jerry who smiled at where their conversation is leading to.
"You just called not knowing if am already asleep"said Aunty Pat.
"I called you because I knew you were not sleeping" replied Jerry while laughing.
"And how did you know I was not sleeping"asked Aunty Pat.
"That will be my little secret"replied Jerry.
"Okay Mr secrecy how was work today"asked Aunty Pat.
"It went well, how is your brother doing"replied Jerry.
"Good, the doctor said he will be discharged 2 months later and by then we should make preparation for wheelchair"said Aunty Pat.
"I see, if you need anything don't hesitate to contact me okay"said Jerry.
"Sure and thanks for your concern"said Aunty Pat.
"It's nothing besides am doing these to make my angel happy"replied Jerry.
"Here you are calling me your angel when we barely know each other"said Aunty Pat.

Frank face a lot of challenges in life even is lover's parent look than on him. But Frank never let their words  drag him down and decided to work hard to prove the world wrong..

Paul appeared in a white space, there was a desk with several small boxes on it, a chair, and a door with Another World written on it, the door also had a padlock and chains and above it the words 'updating' were hovering.
He sat at the desk and opened a box, it unfolded and a number of folders appeared on the desk, "last files accessed from external device" Paul said, many folders vanished leaving one, it was the same as last time, his game log had been copied and judging from the time this time it was definitely not Jack, it must be Mari.
After checking the Another world door he found the update would take hours, although he played the game he didn't know that much about it, he knew it was the best around the top of triple A games, but that was it. He spent several hours just watching videos and browsing random stuff, then logged out.
When the capsule opened Jack was already waiting for him,
"you're early Jack, had an easy day?"
Jack chuckles "you were my only client today and another world is still offline so i figured you'd be out early, by the way the steak was out of this world"
"what steak?"
"the one you made yesterday, when you told me you were at Grand-master i had to come and try your cooking, how could i not"
"that was you?! you looked so different i thought you were Military with the short hair and all"
"well in the game i can show off my personality in how I fight, out here i dress to impress"
Paul laughed as Jack dressed him and took care of his needs,
"Paul um... I wasn't going to say anything but... it's about Mari, she seems... how can i put this? under qualified? i mean we are trained to not even flinch no matter how bad the client is but..."
"yeah" Paul started "i'm pretty sure she's a fake"
"what?! what do you mean?!"
"you know about my accident right?" Jack nods "well the truly painful part came after....."
Paul describes the fragmented memories of the aftermath, being in intensive care, being so young he never even considered about medical insurance so his treatment was as basic as you could get, basically they saved his life and that was it, in this day and age where nano-tech could literally turn a mangled lump of human back into a fully functional person in days as long as they were alive, treating his wounds would have been simple with enough money.
"so what happened? you should have gotten compensation given how big the company you worked for is?"
"My Aunt had shown up and was trying her best to help, or so i believed, the company were great they sent over a lawyer who told me my job would be waiting for me and i would be compensated much more than enough to get treatment, he asked me if there was anything i specifically wanted and i told him about my plan to buy Another World, he personally registered me into the game with 2 years subscription, unfortunately i passed out at that point from exhaustion, by the time i woke up several months had gone by, my aunt was gone, the money was gone, and the company has blocked me from contacting them, the lawyer left a message telling me that trying to extort money from the company was something the wouldn't tolerate, and he blocked me as well."

After an accident and Betrayal by those he thought he could trust, Paul loses himself in a full dive game, he had no idea that the simple life he chose in this game would shake the world.

Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles gawked at the crystal clear ice cubes.
Victoria paid for the drinks proudly and gave them the ice cubes. They each received two, which was more than what Li Du had suggested.
But Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles didn't want ice cubes!
Ah Meow was unhappy. He looked at Li Du in displeasure and thought, I'm so hot that my tongue is sticking out like a dog. You think some ice cubes are good enough?
Li Du pressed Ah Meow's head onto the ice cubes and said, "Just eat them!"
The kids eventually met up with them one after another. They chatted happily with each other, showing off their victory and capability.
When Kent saw Li Du, he shouted, "I want another 20 boxes of cookies!"
"We need to go back and get more," Li Du said. "There are no more cookies here."
Kent was shocked. "No-no more cookies? How come? I remember we brought 50 cartons?"
There were 20 boxes of cookies in each carton. In other words, they had brought 1,000 boxes of cookies along with them. The kids had taken about 200 boxes away earlier, so there should be around 800 boxes of cookies left.
Li Du looked at Victoria and the little girl smiled shyly and spoke softly. "We sold them."
"Louder," Li Du encouraged. "Tell them you're Wonder Woman!"
Victoria shouted, "You're Wonder Woman!"
Li Du was speechless for a moment.
The kids were confused. "What?"
"I didn't mean for you to say that sentence," explained Li Du. "I'm asking you to tell them what happened!"
Victoria nodded. "Oh oh, I misunderstood. Ah Meow, Crispy Noodles and I sold the cookies."
She was very careful and remembered every single detail. She explained how Li Du had taught her to get customers; how Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles had worked hard to sell the cookies.
The kids were so envious they almost cried. Warren, the boy who liked to eat fried chicken, exclaimed, "Oh my God, Victoria, you're awesome! You broke the Scouts' sales record!"
"What was the sales record?" Li Du asked.
Kent didn't agree and replied unhappily, "She didn't break it. The record was set by Katie. She sold 18,000 boxes of cookies in just seven weeks in Oklahoma City."
Li Du was shocked. "What? 18,000 boxes? Are you sure?"
Sally nodded. "Yes, 18,000 boxes. She's so good that even the President wanted to see her."
Li Du did some math. There were 50 days in seven weeks. She sold 18,000 boxes of cookies, and that meant she sold 360 boxes of cookies everyday—while she was in school.
That record was amazing!
Warren didn't agree with Kent. "Although Victoria didn't break the record now, I believe she can break it if she has seven weeks to sell the cookies!"
"Yes," Sally agreed, "Victoria sold the cookies like the speed of an F1 racer. Only the sky is her limit!"
Kent wanted to argue some more but Li Du stopped them. "Alright, alright, boy and girls, do you still want to sell cookies? If so, let's go back and get more!"
"Yes!" All the kids, including Victoria, were full of vim and vigor.
Li Du sold cookies with the kids for two days. After that, Hans returned from Phoenix and it was the beginning of the month. He sold most of the cigars and cigar boxes and he got some news on a storage auction.
"There's a big storage auction in Tucson. We should go have a look."
"Good," Li Du said. "We've never been to the southern area. It's time for us to venture further."
Hans packed his things and handed Li Du the accounts book.
When Li Du saw that the two Terminator cigar boxes had not been sold, he asked, "These haven't been sold? No one wants them?"
"It's not that," Hans said with a smile. "I showed them to a friend. He said these two cigar boxes are precious collectibles, so there's no rush to sell them. Let's keep them until we can find a good buyer and sell them at a high price."
Li Du nodded. He could rest assured with Hans in charge of selling the items.
The other eight cigar boxes were sold for 24,000 dollars. Sayder's estimation had been lower because he assumed each cigar box would fetch 2,500 dollars. Hans, however, had sold them at 3,000 dollars each.
There were 224 cigars in total. Hans gave away some for free and kept ten cigars from themselves. He sold the rest of the cigars to a cigar store for the price of 180,000 dollars.
Hans hadn't managed to sell the big gun. When he'd been in Phoenix, Maurice, the owner of Veteran's World, was not around. So he had brought the gun back and arranged for another appointment in two days' time.
The enormous storage auction would take place in three days. Therefore, they started to pack and set off for Tucson.
Since this was their first time going to an auction in southern Arizona, Li Du brought all his men and necessary stuff. He was ready for a tough fight for some units.
On their way to Tucson, Hans explained, "This storage company went into bankruptcy, so all of its storage units are going to be sold. There are 150 storage units in total but more than 100 units are empty. So there are around 40 units going on auction."
Li Du nodded. "Very good. That's a good amount of units. Is there any other important information?"
"I got so much information," Hans said. "I feel like some of it's too messy and not completely accurate. Let's check it out ourselves once we get there. Tucson is like an entrance from Mexico to America, so there are many shady companies and illegal trade gangs. I think there could be valuable items in the storage units."
When they reached Phoenix, they stopped for a break. They had to sell the giant gun to Maurice as well.
Maurice and Hans had missed each other a few days ago due to bad timing. When Hans stepped out of Phoenix, Maurice returned.
When they saw each other they hugged. The old man laughed, "I hurried back but I still missed you. D*mn you, you impatient b*stard."
Hans said, "I knew you would come back anyway, so I went home to rest. Look, I've brought you the gun. Take a look, I bet you'll to add it to your collection."
The gun was so big that they had to dismantle the parts for transportation. Godzilla brought down the boxes and opened it, revealing the huge barrel and the huge handle of the gun.
When he saw the reddish-brown handle and silver-white barrel, the old man gasped, "Oh my goodness! Honestly, I'm an expert in light weapons. But this is too amazing. I've never seen an amazing gun like this before!"
This gun was not a standard weapon, so Maurice couldn't judge it right away.
He asked the men to bring the gun into his storeroom. Then, he brought his assistant with him to study the gun.
After they studied it, Maurice was shocked. He rubbed his hands together and exclaimed, "This is really an amazing gun. Too bad that I don't know who made it. I bet he's a professional!"
Li Du asked, "So how's the gun?"
"Very cool, it's superb," exclaimed Maurice. "I bet that it is the biggest shotgun in the world. It must be the most powerful shotgun in the world too."
"Tell us about the gun," Hans said. "We know very little about it."


They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

As the book hits the shelves tomorrow at noon to open the VIP chapter, the author fungus will probably start uploading before 12.30, so don't wait after midnight tonight. Remember to cut. (??ˇ_ˇ??:)
And then, it's all over the place begging for subscriptions, especially for the first chapter. Those of you familiar with the book probably know that first subscriptions are essential for new books. Even though it only costs a few tens of dollars to read a book, I also know that many students are reading dozens or even hundreds of books, and it's hard to get a full subscription. But, it's effortless to give the first order, isn't everyone willing to provide me with even a dime? (???????????)
And then, there's the outbreak. It's roughly ten shifts tomorrow, and then, the book currently has a collection of 22,000, and according to the starting subscription ratio of 10:1 qualified standard, the first subscription of 2,200 to be considered suitable. So what, I set the goal a little lower, get a 44:1 500 first subscription as the minimum standard (if 500 are not there, then I have no face to see anyone, Boing Boing Boing (ㄒoㄒ)), every 100 more first subscription plus one shift, that is, as long as the subscription is standard I have to add 17 more." (oДo*)
The monthly ticket is a good thing, but it's only been ten days, so it's unlikely that it will be on the new book list! (￣▼￣)
If you are willing to give a dollar or two as a reward, don't spend too much and start an automatic subscription with the money you save. ＾０＾~
After the most important things are said, the next is something from the heart of the author's fungus, which can skip if you're not interested.＾０＾~
First of all, I'd like to thank you for the recommendation given by Wakaba. To be honest, the author germ is not very good at communication with people, until now did not open a book group did not add the author group, and the editor much add up to say no more than ten sentences, can give me such a pounce so many recommendations thank you (I am not licking dog, really not, everyone must believe me(??ˇ_ˇ??:))
Then, let's get back to the question of whether the author germs will suddenly be gone. (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
When the last book pounced incredibly miserably, the author fungus said that writing is only my part-time job, so it's hard to free up too many hours in a day to write; but at the same time, writing is my hobby, and I'm more than eager for the recognition.
(Sometimes, criticism can make the author fungus feel bad for a long time, and a compliment can make the author fungus look stupid and laugh for most of the day (￣▼￣)).
So I'm not a eunuch because of low grades or anything.
If it did come to that, it would only be possible that none of them would want to read my book.
Even if there is one person who will read it, I will keep writing it. (??ˇ_ˇ??:)
Let the author fungus be depressed for a moment.
Because of some significant events around the country from the end of last month to the beginning of this month, the project came up for inspection because the leaders who came up for review sent away one batch after another. They will still be there until May.
The author of the fungus this time did not increase and consumed ten chapters, so the shelves erupt to make this point is the limit of the author fungus.
No offense, folks. (?﹏?)

He wandered in the light and darkness and wove the battle song of blood and fire.

PS1: This story did not feature any fruit or system, the title of the book has nothing to do with Yami Yami no Mi!
PS2: The timeline is quite long, starting when Roger began the great age of sea pirates!
PS3: Non-scrappy article, highly fantastic and biased slightly off, but the characters should be intellectually ruthless basically in the line!

The smell made Luna's mouth water. She took a look at the kids eating happily, and then took a bite of the chicken.
Her eyes widened in surprise. The soup is scrumptious, and the chicken is so tender and soft. She recognized fire chicken, but she didn't know how Mag had made the soup so delicious.
Luna picked up a piece of shiitake. What's this? An aromatic smell tickled her nose. It looks like some kind of mushroom, but it smells so much better than other mushrooms.
Maybe the secret of the soup lies in this. Luna put the shiitake into her mouth and bit into it. The soup came out; meanwhile, the shiitake tasted silky, and had a chicken-like texture.
After she swallowed, the delicious taste lingered in her mouth.
"My compliments to the chef," Luna said. Yangzhou fried rice, Roujiamo, and tofu pudding, and now this braised chicken and rice. Every dish of his is so different; he's really talented.
Mag smiled. "Thank you."
The kids finished their food in no time. All but two boxes were empty. A seven-year-old boy put the lids back on carefully, and asked Mag, "Can you lend me the two boxes, sir? I want to bring these home to my sister."
"Sure. These boxes are disposable. You don't need to give them back to me." Then Mag took a box of braised chicken and a box of rice from the bag. "And take these. Don't let your sister go hungry."
"But I don't want to throw them away. They're good containers. Can I keep them, sir?" Jessica asked Mag, touching her boxes.
"I want to keep them too," others echoed. They held the boxes in their arms as if they were something precious.
Mag was touched by their plight. Children as they were, the worries of everyday life were already weighing down on them; they were struggling to survive.
Mag smiled. "All right. You can keep them."
"Thank you, sir!" they cried in delight, and held the boxes over their heads as if they were prizes they had just won.
"It's getting dark. I gotta go home. Bye, Teacher Luna, mister, and Amy," a kid said, and ran away with his boxes.
The other kids said their goodbyes and left too.
"Be careful! And take the major road!" Luna reminded them as she watched them leave.
"I have to head home too, Amy. Mother is waiting for me," Jessica said. "Thank you for the food. I hope to see you and Ugly Duckling again soon." She flashed an innocent smile and touched the kitten's head.
"How is your mother, Jessica? Is she still coughing? Did her eyes get better?" Amy asked with concern.
Jessica looked a little down. "Her health has worsened…" She paused for a moment, and smiled. "But she said she would get better in winter, and that she would be able to do needlework again. Then I won't need to go out in the cold to scavenge."
Her mother is sick? If she was ill in bed right now, I don't think she would survive this winter, Mag thought, frowning. Amy was in a similar situation to her. If her mother died, she'd be left alone.
"Don't worry. She'll get better soon," Amy said, patting Jessica on her shoulder. Then she pulled out something from her pocket, and held it behind her back. "I have a present for you, Jessica. Guess what it is?" she said mysteriously.
"A pretty stone?"
"No."
"Heart-shaped roots?"
Amy shook her head again. "No." Then she pulled her hand from behind her back and revealed a yellow butterfly hairpin. "Yellow is your favorite color, right?"
Jessica's eyes lit up. "Yes! It's so beautiful!" She hesitated for a moment, and then shook her head. "I can't take it. It will look much better on you."
"No. It will look better on you. Let me put it on for you." Amy stood on tiptoe and put the hairpin in her hair. "It looks perfect on you, Jessica!"
She smiled. "Really?" She rolled her eyes upwards, trying to look.
"Yes." Luna smiled. She was touched by their friendship.
"Thank you, Amy!" Jessica hugged her friend and touched the hairpin lightly.
Mag pulled out a dragon coin, and secretly put it between the box of braised chicken and the box of rice.
Mag tied up the bag and handed it to Jessica. "Take this home with you. Be careful not to spill the soup."
"Thank you, mister. I'm sure mother will get better after eating this."
"I'm afraid that is not some sort of magic bullet. You must take her to a doctor."
Jessica nodded. "I will." She waved at them. "Bye, Teacher Luna, mister."
Luna smiled. "Bye, Jessica."
Then she waved goodbye to Amy and left, holding a bag and two empty boxes.
"They will grow into respectable adults," Luna said as she watched Jessica's back.
Mag nodded. "Thanks to you. You're a good teacher."
"Will her mother get better, Father?" Amy asked, worried.
Mag touched her hair with a smile. "I'm sure she will."


In Chaos City on the Norland Continent, there is a strange restaurant.

Here, elves and dwarves share tables. Beastmen are prohibited from making a din, and giant dragons can only seat around the tiny square in front of the restaurant. Even demons have to bring their own stools…

But it is such a strange restaurant that has long lines outside every day.

Elves are stuffing kebabs, paying no mind to their manners; giant dragons are sitting around a hot pot, strainers in their hands; demons are eating nice-looking dango…

"There's no other place on this continent where you can find food like that! The boss here is a genius!" a customer provides such a review. Then, he gives a furtive look at the door. "Also, don't you think of kidnapping the boss away or dine-and-dashing, or you will suffer a tragic death."

"Eat, pay, or you will be beaten to death." says a cute little girl in her childish voice as she trots forward. A five-meter tall dragon shivers when it meets her eyes.
