Chapter 254 - Costume

Costume

"Remember our appearance in the game should remain different. Orin and Ahram needed to work on the character pointers. Diversity in the appearance would confuse those who wanted to spy our activities. Also it is the rule of the game. Do not expose your real image in the public until the owner gives permission." Junan included his opinion about their in-game characters.

"I don't have creativity as to how the character should look." Orin rose up his hands and surrendered.

"Come on, take the example of Albert. He has hair in real while in-game he is bald. He painted his face while you walk around without changing your foolish expressions. Use some mast like I do. If you are interested to use eye fashion mask like Sashi then, no one is going to make fun of you." Junan shrugged his shoulders as if it was his least suggestion.

Other looked at Orin, "Sure as hell I never taunted males for wearing female costumes." Clark slammed his hand on the sofa. He was saying something and denying the other.

"This is already clear my friend." Orin twisted his face to look at Clark. "I better design my character before the opening of fourth level.

He stood up to leave but Junan gestured to stop, "Do not create big changes in the present character apart from some miner alternative options." Junan added.

The teams and the team members were given numbers instead of naming. For example Jake was called character 'Zero Three'

Junan was called 'Zero two' Albert as 'Zero One' Clark as 'Zero four' Ahram was named as 'Zero five' Sashi was named 'Zero Six' and Orin 'Zero seven' respectively.

Ahram got the instructions bringing some changes in the character. He went to make rough draft then design the character. There was only one day and they were receiving multiple instructions.

"If anyone wanted to change their weapon they could change with the limits of profession. However I suggest the main weapon should remain the same because according the polls the spectators liked the weapons choice of the third team. It is better to look for the skills of your weapons instead of changing weapons. I know it would be tough but what is easy in this world?" Junan waved his hand in the air.

"Wouldn't it increase the difficulty in the fourth quest. I mean all of us would madly look for the available abilities. In case the opponent got it first we will have to fight and snatch, correct me if I am wrong." Sashi asked team head.

Albert and others looked toward team head. "I would not deny in fact I am expecting this scenario in the fourth and fifth level. The opponents have learned how to select good players so the competition would be tough. If the opponent team has read guide and knew our weakness in the fourth and fifth levels then we are done. It will be our survival round in couple of quests." Junan didn't want to hide.

Jake felt it was high time that he would use his controls in the fourth level. The uncertainty might keep the other players at their heels so everyone would look for the abilities of their weapons.

His weapons were explosives. There was rod which was not his main weapon. The small gun has limited abilities. He has yet to decide whether he should change his main weapon or not.

Well in this matter he was not confuse. Other players have experience with many games and weapons. They might take some time to decide which weapon suited them best. Before the portal game, Jake was nobody in the gaming.

He never felt enthusiastic to play any game, even if he liked some game he was unable to play it. So now he decided to keep whatever weapon he has with him. In the fourth and fifth level he would search for the abilities of the gun.

Jake was also thinking to bring some changes in his in-game character. However he was not sure what type of changes would make it stand out.

Most of the conversation was related with the game and they took quite time for discussion. The preparations were going on. Sashi received new keyboard the older version as she requested.

Jake went for the daily task. He also spent time for learning and practicing controls. The task panel did not give any face during this time.

The whole team gathered at the dinner table. Tomorrow afternoon the opening of the fourth level was expected. It was new wave of enthusiasm that made them eagerly wait till tomorrow.

...

Clark and Albert met in the gym. There was visible gain in Clark while Albert was satisfied with what he gained. Orin dragged his feet in the gym. He was getting lazy day by day.

"You do not need to worry for the belly fats. strike the mace hard at the enemies and your belly fats will burn away. How's it?" Clark gave gusty solution. Surprisingly Orin accepted gladly.

"You are life saver. Wait and watch I will be invulnerable. By the way how did you fast recovered your bulky stature and fitness?" Orin curiously asked.

For him workout was hellish job that takes ages for visible improvement. He was in good shape before the opening of the portal game however later weeks he gained unnecessary fats which made him look similar of panda. However he was not lazy in attacks in the game. that's why team head didn't mind.

However Orin was not happy, he wanted to remain in good muscle shape. "During recess, I did not swallow junk food much instead prepared ready to cook meals to save time and health. Now that I worked the shape regained without much struggle. You can also follow if you want." Clark explained.

"Boy I rather stick to my belly fats. I might die cooking meal in such short time. I wonder whether I would search cooking video, set the stove on fire or select the spices.." Orin shrugged his shoulders and went back in his suite for rest.
