Temporal Pearls

Chapter 30: Sun Wukong

There were many dissatisfied with Asteroids Online and many were in full support of the Game being banned while others were not.

What escalated everything was that the child of an influtial politician had be in the same accidt.

Seth, Adamina and Sam were watching one of those debates. Adamina turned to Seth and asked. "Do you think it will close?"

"I don't know. Depds on what the Authority said!" Seth answered.

"Well, I think all this is just a drama. The people behind the sces can't bury every accidt but I also don't think this accidt will make a powerful company close!" She said.

"What do you mean? You do know that Zi Country has banned the game altogether!" Sam said.

"Another elaborate drama to sway the minds of the masses!" She commted.

Adamina was smart with a line of thinking that was hard to follow. But most oft than not, she was able to glean through the true situations.

The fact that she was antisocial made her talt hidd but those that were with her knew she was a smart ass.

"It will never be stopped. And they have already made the gwork long ago! Still.... the game scared me as much as I joyed it." She added.

Both Seth and Sam stared at her as she wrote something on the paper and said,

"Here is my prediction. At the d of the Game Hiatus, their true colour will be revealed."

Seth collected the paper and was amazed. Why didn't he think about it? It was so simple and right in front of them.

He gave the paper to Sam to exclaim while Adamina's smug face was all over the place. Seth shook his head and asked, "What type of weapon did you make!"

Adamina was one of those that participated in the First Trial.

"A staff that can shape its tip into a Spear!"

"So, I'm not the only one with a staff!" Seth asked.

"What about you? What does your Staff do?" Adamina inquired.

"Have you heard about a mythical figure known as, Monkey King, Sun Wukong, Equal To Heav?" Seth asked with a proud expression.

"Of course, I'm a novelist, I know about.... Wait, you make him through the Staff?"

"Haha, maybe I could have" Seth wondered but th he explained. "The monkey has a staff that can change shape and weight at will. The same as me!"

"But can you wield it!"

"The first aspect of the staff is Elevated Health. That helps in healing, walking, increasing ssitivity and many more. And the battle Aspect of it was the Pillar Elevation. Which has the Aspect of Sun Wukong Staff!" Seth explained.

Not everyone reveals the true specs of their weapons to keep secrecy in case one was targeted.

"That's creative..." she said in admiration and th she stood and said, "All right see you next week. Ev though you might not dive with us!"

Sarah was adamant that Seth will not play again. So, he has no choice but to focus on his Art Workshop and School. Besides, he will be rolled in a university to study Crop Scice.

"Are you sure about this?" Adamina asked Seth as she was about to dive into the game.

"Yep!" He answered.

She lay down and closed her eyes. As the Cabin door was closing, she began to feel sleepy and by the time it was closed, she was fast asleep.

Adamina oped her eyes and observed the surings. She looked at her right hand which was glowing silver-blue with a smile.

She turned it off and said, "Come!"

A transluct blob of thick hazel-coloured Slime rolled to her with a blob blob sound. It was cute.

"Okay, now disguise."

The blob twisted and extded, th it transformed into a staff and Adamina grabbed it. That was her Asteroids Artefact...

Blob of Wonder!

It can shapeshift to almost anything as long as Adamina can imagine it and also know the mechanics behind it.

Wh everybody was busy making solid weapons that can cause destruction, Adamina as a Novel Creator was able to see the big picture.

And it just so happed that she has played a game with a Boss Slime that can transform into any animal it touches. And she got her inspiration from that.

Due to the location, she was st, Adamina has feelings that maybe the game has st her here due to her Artifact's unique nature.

After admiring her staff, she adjusted her looked to be more masculine and th wt out of the slave cottage and met with many players and townsfolk preparing to work.

Adamina was 9 years old, 7cm tall with bright marshmallow skin, black eyes and black hair with a long nose. She was a beauty but not that excessive.

Her game attire was made of silver-blue long pants and long sleeve shirt and a flowing jacket with a hood.

Today she decided to graduate from mining Blueprint because of the mission Seth gave her!

"Mr Ganga. I want your guidance in establishing a workshop!" She said with a big smile she can muster at the broker and also their leader!

The rough-looking tanned skin man glared at her. He has a big head and a bulging stomach that makes people wonder how he can move a.

The reason for his sour mood was, lately, these Immortals had be coming to him for the same request and in the d, they couldn't hold onto the frustration that came with it.

Establishing a workshop is not easy. One needs to buy a Blueprint, Material and Instrumt.

But ev if someone has ough money but all that, making equipmt was riddled with a high failure rate. One has to be patit to practice a lot and raise Proficicy Levels.

"I don't do that anymore. If you want a workshop. Choose from those!"

The man said as he pointed at the ready-made workshops that were expsive.

"One gold coin, if you don't have it, scram!"

Adamina flick a gold coin from her hand and she slammed it on his table. Both the players and townsfolk were shocked.

With a gold coin, they could gain their freedom and leave the town. Why waste it here!
