Chapter 8

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 06:55

The morning began with an itch.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:00

I scratched at the back of my head with such intensity that it looked like I was about to get a straightforward brain massage. But I had a reason, and it was called "choice of setting.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:01

Setting?!

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:01

Can I choose the setting? So I'm really going to go to a place where everything... So other worlds actually exist? Whoa. There's not enough raw data to make a valid conclusion.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:02

Well, what has changed? First of all, they gave me an "E" rank, I'm a big boy now, and I can earn more money. Second of all, the auction is open. Although with its caveats.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:02

To begin with, every session was paid for. Two hundred points were deducted. Secondly, each request was also subject to a fee. I looked at the confirmation button and tears came to my eyes. You can not so blatantly milk the staff! I dreamed of a ring!

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:03

So I bought it, and at the same time, I activated it. After that, I had enough system bonuses left for exactly one fifteen-minute session, and I didn't have enough for a request. I sat on my bed, dragged my finger over the screen, and could not bring myself to do it. What was the point of looking at an empty application if there were not enough points to use it? Finally, I spit and went to bed.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:04

The morning was greeted with a letter in the application. Blah, blah, we congratulate you, you did a great job and as a reward, you can now work for us twice more for the same money... the last one wasn't said, but it was easy to guess. But the second paragraph, where they cut to the chase, just caused an intense itch.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:05

+To activate E-rank system tasks, select your preferred setting

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:05

And no options were offered. Only the text entry bar. If everything was in English, you could assume some other option, but in our case, it all made perfect sense. The setting - that is, the world of the game. Or a book. Or any fictional world at all. At best, according to Wikipedia, I was asked to determine the time and place of the unknown.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:15

So the E-quests are performed not in our world?

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:15

Scratch, scratch, scratch... I'm going to scratch a hole in my skull like that.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:16

It's not even supernatural, it's fantasy, sci-fi at best. Well, at least not isekai.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:16

I wiggled my finger over the activation button again. I already know: if I press it now, a menu with time bars and a small price tag will appear. The minimum session is two hundred points, and one request is another two hundred. Now in the account, thanks to the accumulated from the magic money, just over five hundred. By the way, less has accumulated than it should, it is exhausting.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:18

That is, a novice courier even on a simple request must work for more than a day. By the way, how much exactly are they offering for the quest for E-rank?

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:18

+To start the application, select your preferred setting.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:19

Phew on you. I could not look at the usual quests, too, the plate jumped out as soon as I went beyond the usual delivery. Either this is some clever way to screw me, or I did not consider something. And since I did not understand something, I need to consult with people.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:20

The weather was decent, not hot and sunny; I sat on a bench with a cup of coffee, looking down at the people rushing by and wondering who they were. The scanner wouldn't turn on, either, without a definition of that very setting. I waited until ten in the morning and rode the slightly unloaded subway.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:21

You have to travel either before rush hour or after, otherwise, it's too hard. For the people around me, to whom the fat guy with the not-so-big-but-still-bag interfered with finishing their nap on the way to work. I was standing quietly, plugging in my ears and listening to music. I was surprised to discover that the cheap wired headphones I bought in a shop gave no worse sound than the ones I had spent a month on reviews to choose. I don't know if it's a mystery or if it's supposed to be like this?

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:23

In the seventh hall, all the familiar delivery people have already gathered. So a new episode of our show begins at just this moment. Okay, my line:

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:24

"Ahem! Hello, folks!"

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 11:24

"We've seen better."

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:03

"Hello."

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:03

"Aloha.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:04

Even Abstinence waved a limb.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:04

"Question - who can give a hint about the setting?"

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:04

Brute didn't disappoint:

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:05

"Here's a hint - uninstall the app, forget about Delivery, live happily ever after."

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:05

"Why should I?"

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:07

"Since you're already out on external quests, you have an "E.""

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:08

He caught me in the lens and nodded:

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:08

"Exactly. It's the first time I've ever seen such reactive suicides."

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:08

He's kind of gloomy. I'm sure he'll tease me all the way to the end and die saving my life in the final battle.

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:09

"Let's talk to the point, shall we?"

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:09

"In fact, you've in five days reached a level where you start to get into serious trouble. You're a dangerous man to be around!"

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:11

A goggle-eyed kid sitting next to him asked timidly:

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:11

"Didn't you say that the levels are not Systems?"

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:12

Old man replied, putting the paper on his lap:

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:12

"Levels are not assigned, they are registered. Well, it's like if you work with your feet, they give you one order, and if you work by car, they give you other orders. Delivery just uses the generally accepted classification."

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:15

"So you can get anyone?"

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:15

Brute started the usual:

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:16

"If you're a fool, you can get anyone. Because you don't really have a car yet. A couple of gadgets is nothing, and you have to drag a lot and in places that are better to skip at speed."

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:17

I tried to bring the conversation back to my topic:

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:17

"So what places? What's about the setting?"

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:17

Tomboy, lying on the bench, wiggling her dangling leg, encouraged the conversation:

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:18

"The external quests lead to..."

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:18

She hesitated, choosing words, and the Old Man pompously prompted:

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:19

"To the Realm of Chaos!"

Camrad_RIP 16.02.22 в 19:19

"Well, yeah, roughly. Everything is there, and the path will build for you according to the setting. Not for convenience, but so that you can follow it to the client. That is if you know about hardware, and you choose mysticism, then you'll run into a door and you can't find the control panel on it, because you don't know what it is. And even if you hint at a spell, you won't understand it. And vice versa."
