Chapter 13: Planet Types

Shi Fan began walking down the tiled paved street as he plans his future venture inside the game. Looking above he can see large televisions reporting today's news which most of them of course about the happenings inside the game. It is more common nowadays to find news about Emperor Online rather than minor accidents because the hype is in the game. Shi Fan stopped walking and listened to the news.

"Salasim Planet successfully repelled the Resistance invasion with the help of Emperor Sila from the High Empire of Frejice and will be in control of the planet for a long time."

"Rank 9 Darkmaster Shilja with the Chan Adventurer Team successfully cleared Hell Raid: "The Tomb of Sacres" and found a Rank 9 Herb which will help him one step closer on the journey to becoming an Emperor."

"Soloist Prince Aarav has now reached the 7th Gate of the Epic Raid: "The 9 Gates of Hama" after a 3-day journey inside."

Seeing the news Shi Fan couldn't help but shudder. These people are known individuals inside the game due to their strong fighting prowess and their fame speaks for itself. He swore than one-day news will be reporting all about him in the future. He then continued his walk while still thinking about his future goals.

"Oh yeah, I should buy some virtual watches." Shi Fan whispered to himself. Virtual watches nowadays are a must-have for players who are playing Emperor Online as they have the synchronize function which allows the watch to receive messages inside the game even if the player is offline. As well as track trade records and bank records which makes it more convenient

He began walking inside a shopping district. Despite the advancement of technology the area around it is subpar compared to other planets. The PGRS(Planet Grading Regulation System) has ranked the Planet of Xenovia with a D Rank Evaluation. Planet ranks are divided into 5 categories. D,C,B,A, and S rank. The more prosperous a planet is the closer it is to Rank S as the 3 Galaxies Fortune 500 Companies usually occupy most of the S Rank planets and there are also some Large Guilds that occupies S Rank planets for their members however most Large Guilds only use A-Rank planets for their base of operations as land prices there is much cheaper.

D-Rank planets, however, are one of the cheapest areas to live however it is also the hardest as most of them are far away from some planet commodities like HyperFuel Supply Planets, Hi-Nergy Planets, as well as the planets owned by the famous Fortune 500 Companies.

As Shi Fan walk through a variety of stores he noticed a strange building in one of the stores. It looks very ancient compared to the stores beside it. Shi Fan then read the sign. "Hammer of Store." what a strange name Shi Fan said to himself. It must be from a long-time superhero that was idolized by many and the owner is one of them. Seeing it as a unique experience Shi Fan went inside as he opened the door a bell from above ringed. "It really is very unique." Shi Fan exclaimed in astonishment. Doors nowadays even ancient style buildings like this on are usually rigged with anti-theft devices, a robot that welcomes the person as well as cameras. This store however as far as Shi Fam can see, has none of it installed.

"Welcome young man how may I help you?" an old man sitting in a rocking chair 10 meters away from him politely asked Shi Fan.

Shi Fan looked at the stranged individual. "He must be at least 80 years old" Shi Fan muttered. Despite the advancement of technology aging is still a process that is hard to tackle. Technology has only allowed the person to live a little longer. Cryostasis is one option however the side effects an individual that took part in it suffer immense consequences this is why only when one is desperate do they allowed themselves to be in cryostasis.
