Chapter 223: Log In
"I have a teacher and we are contacting her now." Seth said with a smile, "Try to connect with this coordinate and map. Just search for it!"
[Yes, sir]
"Hmm. Sir? Just behave the way you used to!"
[No, with others around I most respect my owner… we have a small problem, your lack of full ID information has made a drone follow us. It\'s a bug size, watching from a distance. Until proven we are peaceful, it will remain with us!]
"Can they hear us!"
[No]
"I know what to do!"
Seth has predicted something like this will happen. It\'s stupid for the government to allow any individuals to enter their country with no supervision. Hence security for the security and when Seth did anything questionable they will have a reason to request his full information from the International Agency that was protecting him.
"Thank you, Uncle Raaz!" Seth said with a smile, he wouldn\'t have been here if not for that man. He composed himself and then came out from the car stoically and poised in the first park they have reached.
Seth clicked his tongue in annoyance and uttered something in Garmern Language. It was an old-world language that almost disappeared and only a few high-class people in the world use it.
What he said was, "I\'m not wasting my time finding her, since she didn\'t want to be found!"
It was an act to spread false information. He went and sat at a chair and watched young men and women play around, there was a hint of disgust before he took a photo of them and added.
"I will send this as proof of my search!"
He went back to the car, "did you get a response?" He asked.
[Yes. But the person you are looking for is not available!]
"We can wait!" Seth said as the car drove and he visited gardens and parks where he enriched his eyes with natural colours. While still making comments about the girl annoying him and the father didn\'t buy his crap through the photos.
By sunset, Sapphire told him that their tail had left them. Seth didn\'t know his plan would work but it did.
In the passport, he was denoted as a tourist. But that wasn\'t convincing, by pretending and speaking Garmern complained about searching for a girl that escaped home and he was tasked to find her, the security was relatively at ease. Besides it was just a protocol of General Security AI has to execute to make sure no threat comes into the country.
He was not identified as dangerous. So he was left alone but there were cameras everywhere that were monitoring everyone.
It was only in the middle of the night that he managed to reach Nanncy.
"Who am I speaking to!" A feminine voice asked. But Seth knew that was an AI voice. People don\'t usually use their voices when answering strangers. His car too has that function.
"It\'s Mr Cripple!" Seth said and there was silence before a hurried voice said, "Seth Enoch the cripple. I thought you would never contact me. I miss you!"
"I miss you too. How are you and the game, hope things are going smoothly!" Seth asked with a smile. He felt something churning in his heart whenever she said She missed him.
"Definitely better than those that were stuck in Gawee!" She said.
"No doubt."
"What took you long, here I even began to entertain that you met with more accidents due to the game. Or it\'s just you are too busy!"
"Well, I was trapped in the game for seven months!"
Seth and Nanncy discuss for an hour about life and what to figure out along the way. Nanncy was surprised by the level of quest Seth has to do to become Noble.
"Hunting baby dragons is very dangerous. How the hell did you even stand before them!"
"Hehe, the first two I was sneaky and lucky but the third and fourth one I was daring, thankfully the third was seemingly injured while the fourth was presumed dead and the battle happened inside some kind of dimension. She has the advantage of an endless supply of energy due to the moonlight cascading on her bones while I have my unnatural Mental Power."
Seth talked more but clearly they didn\'t reveal everything. They only discuss trivial things as that will be safer. As usual, Seth asked more questions about the arts and how to improve.
"I\'m relieved you are doing well. Somehow better than me I guess!" She said with genuine happiness.
"I was wondering, do you happen to need a bloodline, Aura Goblets, Seeds or anything? Oh, I also have moon crystals!" Seth advertised hopefully.
The plan was to get her to buy them and figure out how to exchange them then he would ask her to buy him the upgraded equipment Sapphire needed.
"I\'m interested in bloodline but what are Aura Goblets and Moon Crystals? As for seed, Abuhe has harvested so much that his land now is thriving with agriculture."
"Aura Goblet is the essence of aura stored inside crystalline energy. I didn\'t test it more but I believe one can harness the ability of the essence inside for a short period of time. Moon Crystal is versatile and can be used for everything you can think of, except for eating. Perhaps one can eat it, but I don\'t know. As for bloodline, which one do you want?
I don\'t have dragon\'s but I have various beast\'s bloodlines, including amazing ones!"
Seth didn\'t say pride for now to drag the conversation.
"I will need a moon crystal and I need more information about the aura goblet but I will need it too. What grade is the bloodline?"
"I don\'t know. I can\'t see the grade but" he lowered his voice before he said, "It has Pride in its title."
"Dad...Dad, I got you what you want!"
Seth heard her shouting, he wasn\'t expecting that. But then she asked again, "Tell me the truth, I just lost my cool and called him. Do you really have the Pride bloodline, the one we saw in the picture in Abuhe Vulcan Mansion?
"No!" Seth said
"Come on, you agitate me. Please, you have no idea how seriously we take these things. Please I beg no more for this joke!" Her voice became low and pleaded dejectedly.
"You sound like a spoiled brat!" Seth chuckled.
"Hmm!" She became silent before she asked Seth to speak Gamern Language, Seth didn\'t know why but he complied.
"What is it, darling!" A deep voice was heard from the speaker.
"Well, I thought I found you the right bloodline but I don\'t…."
Seth chimed in Gamern as he began to say, "Cheetah Pride, Tiger Pride, Jaguar Pride, Lion Pride. I can procure them. Do you want them?"
There was silence! To Nanncy and her father that was great news if the kid was telling the truth.

"That\'s what I call you for father, which one do you like!" Nanncy decided to trust Seth\'s words. Abaddon, her father was silent as he eyed his daughter, he wished to reprimand her as this sounded like another foolish trust she put on people.
"Lion Pride. We will use game price and mechanics to verify and assign its value. But I will prepare to pay in items rather than money!" The man finally said in Garmern
"Alright, that\'s fantastic for me!" Seth said in Garmern. There was some silence again.
"Okay, he left, you know the procedure right?" Nanncy said in their normal tongue.
"Using the Bronze cabins office and whatnot right. I heard from others but I never used it before."
"Yes, that one. But I think you will have to wait for a little while before the transaction can happen, he is a busy man now." She pleaded.
"I\'m not in a hurry. You know I want some items too from your part of the world. Some high stuff to equip my Game Gift Car."
"Hehe, that solved a lot of things. You said cars, then let me refer you to the sites, let your AI check and you choose what you want!"
Immediately, Sapphire got access to many companies\' markets that make various futuristic car parts and even though she was an AI she was flabbergasted. There were so many options that she began to drool as she wanted them all.
[Can I have all]
She asked before she became realistic.
[Ask her if some spare parts use terrain energy, rather than normal energy]
"I was wondering, do you have ones that utilize TE!" Seth asked.
"TE as in Terran Energy?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Let me check!" She then reconnected with her father\'s authority and pulled some information.
"Very few though and it consumed so much TE that most don\'t want them. I will allow you in!"
The moment Sapphire saw them she immediately selected two that are suitable.
[As for more devices that are similar] she demanded.
"And, Mr Cripple, are you into G Technology?"
"What is G tech!" Seth asked.
"You don\'t know. Don\'t you watch the news?"
"You know, it was 14 hours ago that I came out of the game. All this stuff is new to me!"
"Oh," she was surprised, "hopefully there is nothing wrong with your health." She said. She felt strange that he called her immediately after he was out.
"I\'m fine!"
"G Technologies are the technologies that the game gave out to those that have performed well during the Trial. Just like your car and my computer system. The technology seemed to work with normal fuel, electrodes and others but at the advent of Terrna Energy, it turned out they performed better with it. But, TE is hard to harvest and very expensive. A single vial can cost up to 100 million unions.
So there is not enough for everyone."
"Interesting. The key to harvesting TE is to be in constant danger that can be detrimental to your real body. But people in lower containers have it easy, that\'s why you can\'t harvest!" Seth explained.
"That is true but those trapped in Gawee….!" She trailed, what Seth just told her was that he has abundant TE at his disposal.
"I hope it\'s secure, this conversation!" She said.
"On my part, yes. You?"
"Me too. In fact, it was my consciousness projected into the system. That way I see everything. It\'s dangerous knowledge, even an upper echelon like us didn\'t know of it. Those that knew are searching for people trapped in Gawee and another dangerous land."
"Oh. Well, let\'s talk about this G tech!"
"Yes. Some of them were sold out by the user, the person that was gifted to by the game. But most of them uses to belong to those that died. some died due to the first asteroid impact while others died in accidents." She explained before she added, "5 months ago, there was a massive auction where people bought them en mass, but 2 months ago, they seem to have more problems.
But still, few people buy them because they\'re unique!"
"Okay, I would like to choose from them."
After the two TE techs, Sapphire chose other parts that she wanted and that was then presented to Nanncy and the value was finalized.
Seth talked more before he ended the call and drove back but he stopped and bought some things that he may need, and then drove back to Ni.
He knew he would be berated but he doesn\'t care for now. He will just endure it before he placates them. It was around sunrise that he came back exhausted but satisfied and worried.
The whopping amount of union needed for the items Sapphire selected reached a hundred million. He can afford it but his mind was still in shock that he was now dancing with millions like nothing.
Before he came out he analyzed his actions, which were posing as High class, and bribing border officials to get Smart Passport. And it was a great success. Even though he lost 1.5 million for nothing, he knew the guy was in his pocket now. Travelling won\'t be hard.
"What if I\'m wrong? What if he became too thick and decided to dig deeper and found the truth?" Seth began to doubt. He shouldn\'t have used millions to bribe him but a couple of thousand unions will suffice.
Union was a world currency and its value was far higher than any country\'s currency. If not because prices fluctuate due to games and things now, 1 Union can be exchanged with a value of 1000 or even more in Ni country.
[Perhaps, in the High Class spending Million of union is nothing to them]
Sapphire tried to pacify him and he nodded and convinced himself it was the truth. After all, he has no idea how they spend their money.
He walked out of the car and went inside. Yep, he froze as he met his mother\'s angry gaze. Due to his rashness, the day was unpleasant to him. But everything calmed down later.
"You shouldn\'t have left the way you do?" Sarah, his mother said now with affection after she refused to talk to him all day.
"I\'m sorry. But…"
"Don\'t but me. I don\'t care about your reason. What you did is wrong, accept it or I will stop speaking to you!"
"I\'m sorry!" Seth said and shut his mouth. He looked at Anna that was opposing them and single to her. She caught the meaning and went to check the car. Surprised but she hide it and pretend.
It was after they were alone that she said, "We have an informant among us. Showing wealth with no apparent source will attract unwanted attention. But did you get some money in the game!" She explained but asked expectedly and Seth nodded.
"Here use this number, each is 1 mil union but I need you to cover for me. Things are moving fast and I hope I\'m not late in securing that place!" Seth said.
"The value of union has dropped over the month but it\'s still too much, this…" she looked at 10 numbers and each 1mil. Seth has kept six miles to himself.
He was also in another dilemma, he may have secured good equipment through Nanncy but he doesn\'t know how to receive them and also he needed to explore Dama State and find the use of that Large coin. Which he presumed was a map to a place.
"What are you planning?" She asked.
"Dama State," that made her frown but she nodded, she knew about Raaz Quest and she was dying to know what it was he needed Seth to find.
One thing she was sure of was he will not harm him because the kid is walking treasure. The amount of TEIC they changed every day was 2 and sometimes 3. Mostly 1 a day.
And only a few trusted families that know about it have to be careful not to expose it any time officials come but miraculously, TEIC will always be empty, they later believed that Raaz installed something to make the energy dispersed if there were strangers around. That was what kept them safe for now.
They do not even keep the harvested TEIC at home, thankfully, Raaz has made it possible to send it somewhere safe. They trust him as he promised them that he was going to use it for them.
What Seth came with was equally dangerous, because it will alert Sir Mathew and others like him.
They then plan well on how to partially upgrade the car to have good scanners and some defence to explore Dama State ahead of time. Seth gave his Smart Passport to Anna, she will contact their hidden brother for that task.
As for Seth, he will go back to the game for 12 hours and by the time he returns, hopefully, the car is ready.
Sling!
Seth logged back.
