37 Plans for his relatives Part 2

When his father arrived home, they ate their dinner first before going to the living room for discussion. Pedro's grandma was already sleepy so she didn't join the discussion.

"How was your day honey?" Pedro's mother initiated.

"It was exhausting... I was packed with meetings the whole day! I didn't think that some game would be this big! I mean, the government was even advertising it?" His father complained while sipping a cup of tea.

"Speaking of that! You had a wonderful speech on the television!" Pedro's mother crossed his arms and scolded.

"Hehe... you didn't like it? It was his idea after all! Speaking of the d3v1l! Pedro! I heard you didn't attend the class on-site!" His father turned to him in a serious mood. Pedro had a wryly smile.

"Relax dad! I attended the live stream class here! Besides, I would also go to school tomorrow because the school has some announcement!" Pedro explained.

"Let him be... He knows what is best for him! I trust what our son said earlier that despite the game, he would still prioritize his studies over it!" His mother defended.

"Tsk... Action speaks louder than words! If your grades went down for even a bit... Expect something brutal of me!" His father showed a scary, threatening look.

'was he trying to be scary?' Pedro contemplated the 'failed' attempt of his father to scare him.

"Now... Now... honey, don't worry... I have all eyes on his school performance don't worry!" Her mother showed a simple smile, but deep inside Pedro and his father sees a huge evil smile, like a devil.

'Mom looked way scarier than father!" He can't help but have a wryly smile.

"On another note, My sister called me about the game... she was asking the help of acquiring something for the game! Since Pedro was more knowledgable in games, I allowed him to handle this matter..." She changed the topic.

"It must be because of the government announcement..." His father uttered

"About that father! the game was a trend now... and we were lucky to be able to partner with them! However, rival companies will surely not sit idly! Based on some factors and personal experiences with VR Helmets, I predicted that these companies will sponsor players in the game. Later on, they will become famous and one by one, they will steal our clients... With that hypothesis, I planned to ask you, father, if the company could sponsor players to? With that, I plan to recruit professional players and establish a gaming studio responsible for the advertisement of the company! also, I plan to recruit my cousins, aunts, and uncles who are currently unemployed or wish to gain a higher salary! It's a better way to help them than just giving them money!" He explained...

"I'll take note of that, as of now, I can't give you an answer!" His father replied seriously as he sipped his tea.

"That's fine with me mom!" Pedro smiled, With the help of his mother, the workload from him would be lessened.

"That's for today! I've got many matters to take care of tomorrow! I'll sleep now! Goodnight son, and... good job!" Pedro's father left the living room followed by his mother. His parents were happy to see the 'changed' Pedro. Before, He would just keep quiet and listen to them. He would not suggest any of his ideas even if it was about his relatives. Hence, seeing their son doing something good for the benefit of their family, company, and relatives, they were delighted.

"Goodnight Pedro!" His mom waved as she followed Pedro's father to their bedroom.

"Goodnight Mom! Dad! Have a nice sleep!" Afterward, He also went to his room, entered the VR Box and went online.

Just as he regains his consciousness, like he woke up from his sleep, the whole ship was shaking wildly! He noticed that his body fell down from the bed and rolled several meters away from it. He tried to stand up but the shaking was strong that it made him almost fell down back to his knees. After a few moments, the shaking stopped for a brief moment and a shouting voice was heard from the golden pipes protruding from the "master's" bedroom's ceiling.

"Is that all you guys got?! Are you really mages? or peaches?! You can't even take down a mutated Octrocras!" Madame Soledad's angry voice startled Pedro as the shaking continued.

'Octrocras? Ain't that the sea creature like a Kraken that appeared during 'the rise of the sea king!' event in my past life?' Since players had barely survived on land, much less in the water (ocean), the knowledge they had on them was very limited.

During the first year anniversary of the game, there was a popular event on NPC kingdoms called 'The Rise of the Sea King!' where sea monsters surround the shores of Aquari Continent. The NPCs set out a quest to players to kill these sea monsters and defend the Kingdoms.

Among the monsters was a "sub-boss" looking octopus and was well-known as 'Octrocras'! They were Kraken like monsters that had very long tentacles, Its scales were thick and were able to withstand the attacks from players. If not for the magical cannons in the walls of the Kingdom, They wouldn't be able to penetrate its thick scales, much less kill it.

After realizing that, he immediately checked the origin of shaking and went there.

After a few minutes of traversing the hallway, he arrived at the upper deck of the ship. A fantastic view welcomed him... Ten or so mages were casting skills and were fired to the Octrocras. When the skills hit the Octrocras, massive shockwaves were caused.

...

In his past life, he knew that after the Octrocras reached half of their hp, it goes into rage mode! Its damage was increased exponentially and it's attack speed increases.

...

After some time, the Octrocras was already wounded. Minutes later, It entered its rage mode. It started to attack the ten NPCs randomly... those who had failed to react fast ended up being meat pastes. Seeing that the situation is getting out of hand, Pedro decided to join in and have some 'exercise'!

'Let's begin!' Pedro retrieved the Faithpursuer Katana in his inventory and dashed towards the front of another NPC who was about to be squashed by the Mutated Octrocras!
