Chapter 20 – Pack With Players

[ARGHH!!!!!! I AM DOOM!!!!!] the title of the post wrote.

[Do you guys know that I am now a resident of a freaking two million people settlement? Thanks to that, the monthly missions that only give 100 contribution points are now divided between hundreds of thousands of players!!! How much do you think we will get with this many players? Three decimal points!!!]

[Bro… Two million? Your luck is better than mine. Five million. Come fight me]

[Kekeke, five million bros, are we in the same settlement? Mine is five million too]

[PM me and let's chat. I don't want people to know our miserable luck]

[Five million ~ Five million ~ My settlement has five million people too. We are a gang (crying emoji)]

[Lucky! My settlement only has 1000 players. Well, we still get low contribution points but better than the million guys]

[I am a hero]

[S*** You must be someone from a small town or village! Now I regret living in a freaking massive city!]

[If you guys can get a mission that contributes to the settlement, don't tell anyone or you will need to share with others]

[Wrong! My Future tells me that only a certain mission can be done individually but most of the contribution missions will need a lot of participants. So, the missions will be opened to the public. So, the million guys will still be pitiful]

[Stop stop stop! I don't want to hear about any of this!!!]

[I am a hero]

[Urgh!!! Middle schoolers and High schoolers should piss off! You guys are too young to be able to contribute anything to the settlement. Don't do anything and let us older people do the job!]

[Shut up! You stu*** sh**. Who are you to chase away those kids? From the way you talk, you are those that contribute nothing to society too. Piss off yourself]

[Yeah! Who are you to talk shit about those kids? They are still learning and they may do better than you!!]

[This guy needs to be taught a lesson. Report this guy to the admin and ban him from this forum]

[Report! Report! Report! (torch emoji)]

[I am a hero]

[Stop spamming you, idiot!]

Adrian and Ceylon read the post and they were shocked. Compared to Green Orchid Settlement with only 78 players, these guys got it worse.

"Millions of players in one settlement?" Ceylon glanced at Adrian with a shocked face. He was thankful to Adrian because of his suggestion. Even so, Ceylon knew that Future was the one responsible for Adrian's decision.

Ceylon was now craving for a higher Authority Level too. He was also glad that he befriended Adrian or else, he would be in a similar situation as the people online.

"Our chance of getting more contribution points is higher than many people. We have it easy, kekeke," Keith snickered. He was the same as Ceylon too. He was glad that Adrian was his friend.

"We just need to choose carefully to get more share of points. Or we will end up in the same situation as these people," Ceylon added.

"You are right and the missions we took today have many people too but it is understandable because we don't know anything about this game. Now that we have more experience, people will start choosing the missions carefully," Keith spoke and this was the most intelligent thing he had said.

"You are not as stupid as I thought," Ceylon sneered.

"Why do you think I am in this college then," Keith snorted.

"Backdoor?" Ceylon added.

"You!!!" Keith was angry.

"Still, we are at disadvantage in this situation. With fewer people in our settlement, it will be harder for the settlement to improve. All of us need to work extra hard if we want our settlement to be on the same standing as those high-grade settlements," Adrian spoke seriously.

"Hmm… Agree. They have more workforce and can do many more things in their settlement," Ceylon nodded.

"We will get more players later. New players will choose our settlement because they knew about this in advance. Also, next generation, we can get more people too," Adrian added.

"But, with a million players in one place, how can they get enough contribution points? Especially for those middle schoolers and high schoolers? With many adults there too, the competition will be fierce and those kids will suffer a lot," Keith questioned.

"They will likely fail their curriculum too," Keith added.

"I am sure Future predicted this to happen and everything will be solved later. Moreover, this game is not only a game but is used to teach us many things. If the kids want to succeed, they need to work and compete to the best of their ability."

"The World Government will love to see the younger generation compete with each other as competition can help them grow faster. Rivalry and competition will instill the attitude of striving forward in their life," Ceylon added.

"But there may be some who will trip and give up which will be a disastrous problem," Keith added.

"Well, that is not our job to worry. That is Future's job," Ceylon raised his shoulder. Whatever happened to the kids was not his problem.

"The game is still in its first day and if we think about it properly, we have not truly started playing the game. We travel to the settlement and only fight a few weak animals. Nothing much is happening. I am sure there will be more later and if there is a problem with the contribution points, Future will solve it immediately," Adrian added.

"This is shocking. For now, we will have an easy time for contribution points," Keith showed a big smile. The trio was sure that new players would start flocking to their settlement because of what happened to other settlements.

Even so, it would still be a while before they got a lot of new players. The trio continued eating their dinner. Keith continued reading the posts, Ceylon continued with the video and Adrian continued with his reading.

They stayed at the cafeteria for a whole hour because they were still tired from running.

[Progress' notification.

Player Adrian studies about Gene. You get a chance to increase your Gene Stat. If you answer these three questions, Player Adrian will be able to raise the Gene Stat.

If you answer all the questions correctly, you will get 3 Gene points. If you get one wrong, 1 Gene points. If you get all wrong, 0 Gene points]

Since Adrian read the most basic study about genes, he aced the three questions and got three gene points. Supposedly, Adrian would get the intelligent point too but he had maxed out the stat, so, he got nothing.

However, Adrian got to increase his Health stat by 10 points for eating healthy food. It was only one point but the Health and Energy stat counted with multiple of 10 so, he got 10 points.

Adrian was not the only one who got the Health points, Ceylon got it too but not Keith because he ate unhealthily. The food he chose was full of oil and fats. He did not eat any vegetables and thus, he did not get any.

Keith was furious but there was nothing he could do and he was determined to get it during breakfast.

Health stat was the easiest to get because all they needed to do was eat healthily. No accumulation was needed.

After that, the trio decided to get back to their room. They also decided to start playing again and they needed to build their house too.

"You guys go first. I have something to do," Adrian went somewhere else instead of going back to his dorm room.
