Chapter 7: Veni Stone

  When we finally reached the center, Jim said: "Ok, here you go, the central. Nice meeting you and, if you want, once you're done here you can come to my place. I have a job that I need done"

  After he said those words, I got it my first quest. I'm not really trying to get quests, but it is a happy surprise nonetheless.

  Yes | No

  I click yes and tell him "Of course I will help a friend out, see you later Jim"

  I used [Friendly Smile] when I said it, and I got another surprising prompt.

  And what was more surprising was the second screen?

  These bonuses are great! I am pretty much able to become friends, or whatever, with anyone no matter what; a poor person, a king, a head priest, or a heretic, which is great!

  After Jim left me, I walked towards the center of the central, which had over a thousand people walking around, most of which seemed like merchants or townspeople, with a few guards here and there, as well as a few players running around or buying something.

  I walked towards a fountain, not the biggest or central one, just a nice side one. On the fountain there was a man standing on a pile of coins with a plack in front reading: "Here stands the god of luck and greed -Leftin", a perfect god for me to work with. I toss a silver in the fountain, and put my box, with the sign on, down, put another smaller box behind it, and another in front. These boxes I got for free from Jim. I sat on the box In the back and took out the 3 cups, which were perhaps more like half coconut bowls or something.

  Now that I think about, it how did Jim have all this? Huh, oh well, I will ask him later.

  After I put the cups down, I took out the small stone and inspected it with scrutiny, using the skill everyone has, but which can be upgraded to a better skill later on, or with enough use of it.

  When I looked at it, it seemed similar to a piece of jade that you could find in the real world, but, it was a darker blue and without any rough spots. When I used the skill this came up.

  "Wow, a soul bound item this early in the game". I almost shout, quickly looking around to make sure no one heard me. Some people looked at me, but none were players. Good.

  This stone will be a great use of me and my new betting spot.

  I set the stone in front of the cup in the middle and it begins.

  But before I can do anything I get a few prompts once more.

  Oh, my god, these are really good bonuses, and I'm an owner now, sweet! I also learned about a circle. I will have to ask someone, or perhaps Jim when I go see him, about it.

  Then I inspect the stone and my new cup game.

  

  After looking at the item and table, I hear in a deep gruff voice. "Hey you, what the hell are you doing?".
