The Degree
Bonus Games

“Huh, this is not easy. Having a lot of people in the group requires a struggle to find it,” said Mona who finally sat in the park chair.

“This is a responsibility we need to embrace by holding many lives.” Arthur smiled gently at Mona.

Mona only sighed while looking at the scene in front of her. The vast field filled with happy people and the appearance of national monuments that spoil the eyes, rich in history.

“This is my first time here. It was a bit confusing at first because I couldn't read anything here.”

Thanks to Secret's technology, the foreign language that enters their ears will be transmitted so that they understand its meaning. It's just that what they say doesn't translate to people who don't accept Secret's technology.

Two-way conversations in which language is transmitted by technology can strangely only be conducted with fellow Degree users.

“Yes, because that's how important it is to learn languages like english and others.”

Arthur himself had a hard time when he first arrived here. She may speak English, but there are a wide variety of cultures that take her by surprise. One is that when he looks at others closely, strangely the person will smile kindly at him.

Even Arthur had previously met people who would buy him a meal or something, even though they had never met before.

“When I first arrived I was surprised that many people wanted to take photos together even though I was not an artist or anything like that,” Arthur said with a tired face.

Mona chuckles, “He he, probably because you look like you have western or European blood. It seems that overseas people are considered special in a city like this.”

Arthur felt like a celebrity back then and at the same time he learned something. Being famous is not something fun because nowhere can be peaceful.

“Yes, if put aside the environment and various other things, this is a beautiful place.”

“You were right,” Mona said. “Omong by the way what about those in the Indri group? A few hours ago a notification about it appeared.”

Arthur immediately furrowed his brows. The situation was beyond prediction, even he was sure that Indri did not expect this kind of incident. At first Arthur is also very worried about the situation, lucky that he has made a meeting point with Mona before going down.

And, Arthur has given his members directions to go take care of themselves in different places, of course with their personal money.

“I'm worried if Indri is slow to act, maybe even ignore him. They are most likely eliminated.

Secret only gave 40 minutes for members of the group who lost their keys and their chairman to join the other group. Suppose Indri did not appear at that time, it is likely that these people were dead.

“So,” Mona said with a sad face. “I hope they are okay.”

“Hopefully.”

Arthur doesn't know what's really going on. If you have to assume, there may be an intruder among the group and the murder of the head of the group of six.

Nothing else is possible except that.

“Despite the situation, now what will we do, Arthur?” ask Mona, change the topic. “You said you don't want to pay Indri constantly. Are you planning on getting the other group leader?”

If you think of a possibility then it's a reasonable course of action, but the problem is that it can't be that easy to find it. Even Arthur and Mona took three hours to get together like this.

“It was difficult, not to mention we were required to move inconspicuously. The existence of the Degree must be hidden or Secret will put a bounty on our head.”

There is no permission to use the Degree in public places, as a result the fight will certainly be difficult. If there is an assassination then not only with fellow users of the Degree, but they will also face the state security apparatus.

If someone is caught, they will end up as a research subject or Secret will make it explode like a balloon.

“Then, what should we do?” ask Mona.

As if Arthur had been waiting for the question, he looked at Mona meaningfully and smiled.

“Easy only. We do not have to rush into action. For now let's build the headquarters and position strong.”

Mona seems to understand the purpose of building a headquarters, but she clearly does not understand what Arthur means by building a position.

“What does that mean? There's no way you want to have a place in government, right?” Mona was surprised by her own conjecture.

Establishing a position within the government of a country is indeed very profitable, but it is unfortunate that Arthur can not do it. Besides he is not an Indonesian citizen, being part of the government has a big disadvantage for Degree users.

“Unfortunately I don't really like politics because of its incredible dynamics. There are other ways that can help us have a position, although not so strong but this is worth trying.”

“If we do then we can collect DP and money at the same time. No need to worry about waste.”

“What is possible ..” Mona understands what Arthur is trying to do.

”Ya,” said Arthur with a confident smile. “We will build a company.”

A goal that may be too big but with qualified knowledge, it is not impossible to establish a company.

“A-are you sure?” Mona looks a little scared of a high goal like this.

“Yes. For now let's exchange some DP to cash as initial capital.”

To exchange DP for cash, there is a certain way, namely, to create a bank account and to list it to the clock to convert DP. And, later nominal money will be directly sent to the account without shortcomings.

Although it was a little difficult to make it because they had lost their identity at first, but after passing through some things like making a losing letter or something like that an account was successfully created.

“What are we going to do now?!” Mona screamed, to her surprise, because Arthur was in such a hurry to get started.

“The sooner the better, anyway, I wanted to say that initially, but now we see first the current market situation. Only the original fool builds things without looking for a crack in the market.”

...****************...

“Hey, is the marketing office really far away?” leo asked with a grouchy face. “Sial! I feel like a madman!”

“You think I am how, damn it?!” eric said with annoyance. “You're lucky to only have a tear in your shirt and pants, look at me!”

When he first arrived, Leo arrived at a garden that looked unkempt and full of grass. Thanks to that his clothes were torn because they were scratched by sharp branches. Even so Leo can be said to be lucky, his fate is better than Eric who fell into the pool.

Not only did it give off a foul smell, but it was also filled with mud. At the moment half of Eric's body was full of mud and his whole body was wet as well as smelly. You could say Eric is very unlucky right now.

“Luckily the bandage on my leg is thick enough so no need to worry about infection.”

The reason Eric didn't change his clothes is because they are struggling financially.

“Why was just told that exchanging DP requires a bank account?! We don't have an identity so we can't open it.”

They certainly have a moment before entering the facility, but there is no way it still survives. During the tasks they were on, the luggage had changed. From being carrying money and credit cards, turned into guns and bombs.

Besides, they are not from this country. They need to go back to their own homeland if they want to take it.

“Thanks to that we became vagrants at this time.”

They don't have money or a place to live, especially if they're not vagrants?

For now the two go to a place of worship so Eric can clean himself up and rest for some time. While waiting for Eric, Leo began to get busy with his own thoughts.

“Ah~, there are still two months to gather with Terumi and Ray. There's no way I should be like this. It's more likely that we starved to death than we were killed by Degree.” users

Leo felt facing some Degree users was better than living hard and starving on the streets.

It has been more than half a day since the release of Degree users to Jakarta. You could say now maybe some groups have gathered with their members.

Even so, what is surprising is that there has been a group that has died, namely group six. Leo doesn't know what might happen but he believes there is at least an enemy in the blanket.

“If not so, it is impossible for one to find another group in such a short time. Although there are several ways, I'm sure no group leader is stupid enough to let himself get killed.”

The supposed killing to use the Degree in a public place was the greatest difficulty and hurdle they had to go through. If someone is targeted, then it is easy to shout for help even create a riot to provoke attention.

That way, anyone who uses the Degree will eventually receive a bounty on their head that will be given directly by Secret.

“It seems like there is no way other than ..”

When Leo intends to take his emergency action, a message appears from his watch. A message that Degree users will not be able to ignore.

—Advanced Rules From The Degree. And, Bonus Game.—

There are some things that need to be asked but for now the existence of Bonus Games is quite problematic. Secret indirectly considers all these trials are a game.
