Pigeon delivery

Once we arrived in front of our modest house we were surprised when we saw a van in front, it had logo of Snowstorm Company on it which made me remember that Sasha probably already called and ordered for a gaming capsule for Mia.

"Hello good Sir, we received an order to install an additional capsule here, did you order it?" One of the workers asked me as we approached.

"No, not specifically, but I am aware of the order so you could say I did order it, give me a second I'll unlock the doors and we can move it in and install it." I answered as I shook his hand, Mia just shyly nodded in greeting and proceeded to the house and unlocked the doors.

I wanted to help them move it inside but my help was refused with the words "Sir, this is what we are paid to do, please relax." I just helplessly sighed and followed after them so I could offer them some help if it was needed.

After they installed everything they said their goodbyes and left, not even minute passed after they left and my phone was already ringing.

"Hey big brother, do you miss me already?" Mischievous voice was heard from the phone.

"Hey there, I saw you less than hour ago, how could I miss you already?" I answered teasingly.

"So unromantic, no wonder you don't have a girlfriend, anyway did you get the capsule?"

"Yeah they just left after installing it; hey I'll need a favor from you."

"Anything for you big brother." Gosh that sounds so wrong in my head.

"Since you didn't start playing yet, I want you to accompany Mia for a while until I finish some of my business, later when I'm done I'll meet you guys, it shouldn't take long I think I will be in town by tomorrow morning."

"Oh is that all, I thought you wanted me to change into something sexy and come over to your place." The imagination of this girl.

"I sincerely don't know where do you get these ideas from, anyway can you do it?"

"Of course big brother, but there is a price you know." Oh I can already see that sly grin on her face.

"Name your price then."

"Add another favor to the previous one, you will owe me two favors and the second one has no time limit."

"Impossible, time limit is a must." I answer so even though I don't know myself why did I say that.

"Tsk, so impractical, okay then six months time limit."

"Deal, once you create your character tell the system that you wish to start in beginner town 1826, there is where I started and Mia will also be there, I don't have much time so I won't explain anything to Mia except for character creation details so you do the rest."

"Hey that's the same town my sister started in, what a coincidence."

"Oh, I probably didn't see her because I rushed out to grind before I had the chance to see anyone."

"Oh right, explaining things to Mia also has a price you know?" Damn it, I feel like I'm going to be a beggar once this girl is finished with her deals…

"I'm listening…" I let out a soft sigh; I'm already tired of this.

"Well since it's nothing major how about you buy a drink to a person I specify later?"

"Time and place?"

"Jesus big brother why do you have to be so petty with details. Time within one week, place undetermined, I will tell you once I get more details okay?"

"Yes I'm being petty because dealing with you feels like I sold half of my soul already."

"Oh you noticed." There it is again, I can practically see that evil grin. I swear I can feel that somehow this girl will be the end of me.

"Okay that's it then, I'm going to log in now so see you around."

"You skipped the sweet talking big brother, how unromantic, there's no hope for you…" Yeah, keep rubbing that salt and soon you will run out of it.

I didn't even bother responding and I finished the call, I told Mia everything I needed to while she impatiently hopped in place, I can see she can't wait to dive into that gaming capsule.

"Hey, big brother what is your name in game?" Asked Mia as she neared her capsule, we put both capsules one across the other.

"Zero, what will you name your character?"

"I don't know, I will tell you later." She answered and hopped into capsule and started playing immediately.

I didn't bother anymore, I made a phone call and asked for food delivery at midnight and entered the game afterwards.

Once I logged back in I noticed I was still in the shade of a tree I was before I logged out but there was a minor detail that was different, there was a blue pigeon that was on a branch above me which flew down and landed on my shoulder once I appeared.

[You have mail; do you wish to receive it?]

"Yes." I answered and a pouch appeared in front of the pigeon and landed on top of my palm which I put forward once I saw the notification. After I received the pouch pigeon just flew away, probably back to the sender because I recognized that pigeon from what Gab told me, it's a second class messenger pigeon, it is somewhat hard to get in the beginning but it's not impossible.

I checked the content of the pouch and was somewhat tilted by its content.

[20 Beast Skin Paper, 50 Mana Ink, 1 Silver feather, 2 Gold, 1 Map Fragment, 1 Trap Schematic, 1 Evolve Potion, 1 Shard of Knowledge]

What the freaking hell, are those guys insane, if you add everything together the price of everything comes up to more than 10 gold, I can't even name a price for Evolve Potion as it is extremely rare by what I remember so I didn't even add it into calculation, I won't even mention the so called Shard of Knowledge, I don't even know what that is, but one thing is certain, its value is probably something I can't currently imagine.
