Orbis Online
21. Mysterious Potion Seller

“Heh, little enemies like them are no match for High Mage like me! Hahahahaha!”

Finished finishing off all the fruit-shaped mob monsters that surrounded them, Mirage boasted while puffing out her flat chest. Violet and Fira showed wry smiles, while Edmund and Kuro looked at Mirage with flat eyes.

In their fight this time around the most played were Mirage and Violet as they could fight from medium and long distance. Although Mirage was a Mage-class player who used magic as a weapon, it did not mean that every time it attacked his Energy would be drained. For classes like magicians there were exceptions, they attacked with magic balls without using the slightest amount of Energy.

Of course using skills still drains Energy.

As Gunner, Violet must have high economic power to buy the bullets she uses. One shell casing of 50 bullets costs 100 Byl, is very expensive, right? Moreover, not necessarily the enemy he fought died with just one bullet. Although it must have high economic strength, this does not prevent players from targeting the Gunner class.

Different from pistols, crossbow ammunition is much cheaper but the troublesome thing is that the crossbow can only hold one to three crossbow special arrows at once. Although not too efficient in the fight against the group, the damage produced is quite large—which is clearly greater than a gun.

“Ah, I was exposed to poison.” status

“You are... noh, Antidote.”.

“Thank you, Kuro.”

Kuro—sang Samurai—gave Violet a bottle filled with sky blue liquid. Violet received the bottle and drank it immediately. As a result, the status of the poison that attacked him disappeared.

“Violet, I wanted to ask you this a long time ago. How do you fly using wings?”

“Ah, easy only. I just imagine myself flying and moving in which direction, then my wings will move themselves.”

“So you can move in the air like on land?”

“You can think of it that way.”

The Celestial Race was one of the races in the Online Orbis world that could fly with their own abilities. They had a pair of white bird wings and looked like angels to the NPC— when it was just an ordinary player. The Celestial Race had an edge in Respect which since the creation of its character they would be given 100 Respect as a starting point, its Dex status was quite high, and its HP Recovery speed was slightly faster than other races.

Seeing the superiority of this race, quite a number of players chose the Celestial race. Not only were they superior, but they could also fly like the Fairy race.

The Fairy Race is one of the races that can fly in the world of Orbis Online. Medley who is the performer and host of Orbis View that has been watched by Reus chose this race. Most Fairy races choose Mage classes and the like because they are given Int status bonuses so that they are higher than other races.

Speaking of Int, you must be wondering why Int Reus status is high when he is a Swordsman, right? This happens because of the advanced system of Solid Gear that can read a person's original abilities only from his brain. In other words, Reus' high Int status is because Solid Gear read that Reus's advantages are in absorption and knowledge so that the high Int status is created at the beginning of character creation.

Some companies also use Solid Gear for job tests by looking at one's abilities so that it is more efficient and saves time. Although Solid Gear has great capabilities, some full-dive Virtual-Reality games do not use this one system. The developers of the game prefer for the players to start from scratch without being tied to the ability in the real world— because basically a virtual world like this was created as a place of escape for some people.

“Hey, you've heard there are players who sell HP Potion I massively and disappear suddenly in Orbis Forum?”

“Yes, I know! If it's not wrong, Reus, right? How could he obtain that much HP Potion I? Did he take the Alchemist production class?”

Hearing Fira's words, Mirage and the others were shocked. How does Fira know that this player named Reus is a new player? The answer is simple, it is because the name ‘Reus’ not up to 200 players and Fira also routinely see Orbis Forum to monitor its merchandise and goods sold there, he said, but he never saw any player named ‘Reus’ who had ever sold an Item, Potion, or even Equipment.

Mirage asked what was going on in her mind and Fira answered without hesitation. But the question in Fira's mind is ‘where this player named Reus knows the needs of the players that even the special tv channel Orbis Online rarely proclaims this and only Orbis Online players can entering Orbis Forum?’.

“Why not just send a message to that player? Can't you ask directly?”

Hearing the advice of Kuro, Fira and the others were stunned for a moment— except for Edmund who was vertical a bottle filled with mineral water.

“Kuro, you're a genius!”

“Jenius what?”

“It really didn't cross our minds, did it, Violet, Fira?”

“”True!””

‘Which is possible, you guys are just the catapult!’

Kuro could only shout inwardly seeing these three female begender players before him was too slow to think. How could they not realize such a small thing?

***

In a room full of dolls and all pink, a girl in skimpy clothes removed Solid Gear from her head and got up sitting on her bed. He sighed a little, then walked towards the table on which there was a CPU, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speaker, and all sorts of other things. The table and the set of electronic devices are also pink.

He opened the Orbis Forum on his computer and looked for a player named Reus who often sold HP Potion I on the forum. After a few minutes of searching, he finally found a player named Reus who he was looking for. Although the box where the Item or Material icon is usually attached to the item for sale is empty, he knows that Reus is what he is looking for. Whereof? From his Orbis Forum level unit.

In the Orbis Forum there are also levels that show how active a player is in the Orbis Forum. Not just a display, the Orbis Forum level is also beneficial for players. The higher the level of Orbis Forum, then the player will get many bonuses every day and various discounts on goods available in Orbis Mall—pasar officially founded and regulated by Deraft Corporation itself.

At Orbis Mall there are many rare items sold, but the price is also very fantastic. The cheapest item alone was worth 500,000 Byl, wasn't that outrageous? In addition, all proceeds will only benefit Deraft Corporation itself.

“Reus... the name is a little familiar.”

The girl was silent for a moment to see the name of the player she wanted to send a message to, but she immediately did what was her goal.

“{Excuse me, can I ask you something? How do you get so much HP Potion I? Did you take the Alchemist production class?}”

After waiting for roughly half a minute, his message was immediately replied by the player in question. The girl rounded her eyes because it did not take long for Reus to reply to the message and also the answer to his question also surprised him.
