+First-level mannequin, upgrade available.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:31

Mannequin? For what - to practice skills? The icon said nothing, just a stylized figure. The text beside it didn't clarify anything either, only an explanation:

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:31

+A percentage will be charged when converting into Delivery Points. You can get your own Skills Coin by ordering through the app.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:32

It did not become clearer, but at the auction, the main currencies are points, coins, and crystals. Apparently, the main Systems are represented. Or even simpler - all systems are one company, masquerading as different. If someone is tired of working in one system, a "competitor" immediately calls to the other one. Or if someone is not too busy working, then the free time is offered to "profitable entertainment". Capitalism!

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:34

Although Rainin said that the Systems are on their own... You can't believe everything people say, can you? He'll tell me horror stories about reality, and then it'll turn out that his department happens to have a safe intern position.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:35

When I tried to get a "dummy" the phone reported the need to install a new application. So, let's think - do I need it? Aren't there too many wonders for one big, beautiful me? I haven't figured out Delivery yet, and there's something else on offer. Too many wonders for one beautiful me.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:36

No.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:37

And without waiting for another temptation, I slipped the phone into my pocket.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:37

Okay, I'm going to start brainstorming! We need to figure out what to do next.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:43

As luck would have it, not a single thought occurred to me. It's the chebureks, they must be poisoned! I have to sell the flower and arrange for further deliveries. It is better not to ask Rainin, I already owe him, so I need to find a herbalist myself. Or an apothecary? And such that would deal with magical potions. Who could tell me? The one who persuaded me to do "medium healing potions," he should know.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:44

That is, the road for me to the base. Well, I've made up my mind.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:45

By the way, you still have to figure out what to charge for weed. System points and other coins are great, but it's someone else's. Maybe a natural exchange would work better for me.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:45

Standing at a traffic light, I suddenly thought about everything that was going on around me right now. If I hadn't found the ring, if I hadn't taken out the warranty, what would have happened? I would have run around for a couple of weeks, saved up some money, and kept playing with my games. I would have remembered it all as a funny story, like "what my parents drove me to". I'd be proud of the suffering I'd endured.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:48

Would have missed some interesting opportunities.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:48

Or didn't get into them? Yeah, I'm just a simple working delivery unit for now. Maybe I'll upgrade to something cooler, raise my price. But I'll still be in the system. I tried to wiggle out of it and was immediately offered an alternative. Tried to wiggle out - here's another system, just stay.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:51

According to the rules of the fairy tale, it should be three times, but I have a feeling that on the third time I will be forced. I don't want to know how exactly the soulless, inhuman System can act in such cases. I am not a conflicted person, so let's go to compromise, that is a smile, a corporate tie, and a willingness to work!

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:52

All those things I hate.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:52

"Hello, folks!"

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 18:52

There were no people in the seventh hall... Almost. There was our Protagonist, that is, yesterday's schoolboy with glasses, and the Old Man explaining something to him.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 19:02

"It is unreal, it has no laws. It has us, making up rules and laws for it, which it makes eternal and unchangeable. Until the next operator."

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 19:03

Yeah, and the Old Man is, unsurprisingly, the "wise mentor of the hero," he even has "Sage 8 lv." in his status. Well, whatever - as long as he's not the main villain in the third season.

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 19:05

Я прервал мудрую речь:

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 19:06

"Better tell me, colleague, where I can sell the loot from a long journey?"

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 19:06

The Old man glanced at me and muttered a little bit of a tutorial:

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 19:08

"Some people don't learn anything and don't want to learn. Have you seen too many American movies or marbles gone out of greed? You tell him about the anomalies, he tells you about the loot. They don't want to think about anything but money. Till his guts are scattered all over the branches."

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 19:09

"What is this danger? I've got protection, and I'm looking around!"

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 19:11

"It's not much use," he cut off and turned to Goggles. "Tell me, young man, what is the most dangerous thing in our work?"

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 20:09

That one suggested:

Camrad_RIP 18.02.22 в 19:12

"Dragons?"

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 04:51

"Unreal. Have you seen people in the scanner with horns and tails and stuff?"

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 04:51

"Yeah, sure."

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 04:52

"It's all unembodied. Something that is ready to appear, but remains an idea. A quest is always a chance to bring your idea to life. Don't think..."

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:08

I interrupted:

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:09

"Nothing that could end badly."

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:09

Suddenly I wondered. The Old man, seeing that I was silent, nodded accordingly:

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:10

"There, you're already realizing. Just now, how many quests were there? And in each one you could grow something or invent a danger that you couldn't handle. But the main thing is not what could happen. You're not the only one thinking."

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:14

He looked at me skeptically, demonstratively, and corrected himself:

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:14

"If, of course, you think at all. And after all, hundreds and thousands of people see you every day! And everyone can imagine something. And if they come across something that has had contact with the unreal for a long time... who could it be? Probably someone who walks around unreal like in his apartment, doesn't listen to smart people, and ends up in a bad way!"

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:15

"Then stop talking stuff about me!"

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:18

He smirked:

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:28

"There is no need to be afraid here, the seventh hall is under warranty. The System takes care of us."

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:28

The megane-kid, who was staring intently into a corner, suddenly asked:

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:30

"Then why isn't the world filled with miracles? If everyone can make them up so easily?"

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:31

"First of all, who says it's not filled? More often, twirl the scanner, just remember that while you don't see the unreal, it doesn't see you very much either. And secondly... far more people believe that miracles don't happen. And that's even more dangerous."

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 13:28

Я снова открыл рот, выпустил свои мысли, закрыл его. Действительно, если кто-то считает меня кем-то, это одно. Это еще можно как-то исправить. Но если он думает, что меня не существует? Что я ему показалась? Что меня больше нет?

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 13:29

The Old man continued to inflate:

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:31

"You think somewhere on the trail, "I am a free bird," and then you flap your wings and fly away. Or someone thought about you, and all you have to do is flap your wings. You won't even remember that you are actually different!"

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:32

Goggles-kid and I were impressed. Hhero was the first to come to his senses, and he asked me a businesslike question:

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 13:30

"How to defend yourself?"

Camrad_RIP 19.02.22 в 05:32
