The Immortal Player

Chapter 266: The Guild's Logo!

Pedro kept fighting the monsters by himself. Hours later, Sabrina logged back into the game and joined him in the training without even using her Demonic Eyes. That said, it was evident that Sabrina was a bit better compared to Pedro in terms of combat, both hand-to-hand combat and using a sword.

Well It is probably a way for her to be able to cope up with Pedro's overpowered attack damage. In any case, Sabrina's help was able to ease the job of Pedro in fighting the baby spiders, giving him a chance to send ten copies of the <Wolf Transformation Skill page> to Lony through trade in the player interface.

As for <The Arrow of Eternal Coldness>, Pedro did not immediately send it to Weyron because of his concern that the item might accidentally be stolen or used before the said competition. Thus, Pedro kept it by him for ease of his mind.

Soon, after a few hours, everyone else from the ARES Guild logged back into the game. Mathew and Lorenwho were with Pedro and Sabrina in their secret training area, left in preparation for their training. At this moment, Faunia had nothing else to do, thus, the basketwhere Werewolf Tam is prisoned, was left to her protection.

On the other hand, Talia, Aldo, Lony, Roval, and Arvedar teleported from the Karakoa Ship to the Axutar Villagewhere they were going to meet with Mathew and Loren. After being able to gather in Axutar Village, Mathew led Talia, Lony, Roval, and Arvedar back to the 'secret' training area while Aldo and Loren teleported to the Tarala Kingdom.

And like how Pedro and Sabrina started their training, Lony, Roval, Arvedar, Talia, and Mathew underwent the hellish training of Clara and Ragas. They were made to train a thousand punch of different ways into the sturdy wall of the cave while they were made to swing their swords a thousand times on different ways to strike against each other.

Arvedarwho was still recuperating, and Taliawho was a girl, was not excused from such hellish training that everyone else was tasked to do. That said, they did not waver because they witness how Pedro and Sabrina were easily toying with the baby spiders and knew that if they do their best in their training, they could become as strong as Pedro and Sabrina now.

As for Aldo and Loren, they went on their separate ways after Weyron had guided them to their respective learning area to study the basics of being a blacksmith and an alchemist. Aldo worked under the best blacksmith of Tarala Kingdom, learning the differences between the material to be used up to the proper use of the Ore Oven and the shaping of the weapons.

While Loren studied under the Alchemist Association of the Tarala Kingdom, where she was an apprentice who was given lectures in the basics of alchemy and was given a chance to participate and watch in experimentsincluding potion making and neutralization of harmful effects like poison or a common disease.

Although Loren and Aldo were busy on their own occupation, they were still able to make a way to practice the basics of swordsmanship in the Adventurer's Guild in their free time. That said, their development in terms of combat ability was just a fraction of the development of everyone else in the ARES Guild.

In the next few days, Pedro's health had greatly improved as he was given a clearance by his doctor to be released from the hospital. That said, he needs to comply and attend several follow-up check-ups with the doctor to ensure that there were no aftereffects on his body.

And during those times, All the members of the ARES Guild had settled everything that they needed to do within their own families and were able to move to their temporary gaming camp already. Since Pedro was still not present, Mathew with the assistance of Arvee, led everyone else in their planning and training.

In terms of weapons and equipment, Aldo was their go-to guy. While Loren was their informant when it comes to potions and alchemy-related stuff. And for their real-life training of Tae Kwon Do, Sabrina was their reference if they had some questions like how can they integrate what they learned in real life with the fighting style that they learned from Ragas.

That aside, it was not like they were all playing the game or talking about the game all the time. They would oftentimes go to the mall below their hotel to bond together and know more about each other. Mathew arranged it that way to increase the chemistry amongst everyone else even in a short matter of time.

And right after finishing their dinner together in a high-end restaurant, Mathew received a message that made him smile. Then, he glanced at everyone else and said, "Let's go! It's time to go back!"

Lony, Roval, and Talia could only cry in protest as they seemingly wanted to go around the mall for a little bit longer and relax. However, because of Mathew's authority, they could not help but follow in response.

While on the elevator as they go back up to their rooms, Mathew said, "Before you go back to your respective rooms, follow me to the meeting room. It seems like Expert Bro has prepared something for us."

"Meeting room? Do we even have one of that, Elder Brother?" Talia asked in response.

Mathew simply said, "That's what Expert Bro message to me earlier. I am just following his order."

"Hooo, Hooo I see!" Talia nodded in response as the elevator arrived at their floor.

They left the elevator and followed Mathew to the room that was located on the other side of Pedro's room. And when they entered the room using Mathew's Keycard to his own room, a familiar voice greeted everyone.

"I heard that the pork barbeque was delicious. Did you guys bring some?"

"Expert Brother!" Talia shouted upon seeing Pedrowho was sitting at the far end of a table like a CEO with a smirk on his face.

"Brother Pedro, what are you doing here?" Aldo asked. "I thought that it would take a few more days before you'd be discharged from the hospital?"

"Can't a day be considered few? Hahahaha!" Pedro laughed in response. Then, he added, saying, "Anyway Come in and sit down. There are some things that we need to discuss."

"Don't tell me that you are going to introduce another teammate to us, guild leader?" Roval asked with a smile on his face.

"Sorry to crush your hopes early, Roval. But there won't be anyone joining our guild until the competition is finished." Pedro said in response. "Anyway The main topic for our sudden meeting is just about the Guild's Logo."

"Guild's Logo? Cool! Cool! Are we going to design it, Expert Brother?" Talia asked happily like a child.

Pedro simply nodded in response and said, "Yes! But before that I would like to inform you that tomorrow morning, my Aunt and my Mom would talk to all of you one by oneregarding your contract and the corresponding income that you would earn monthly from the company. Make sure to also inform them about your food preference and stuff so that we could prepare them beforehand as we travel to China for the competition."

"Isn't it better to enjoy the local food in China while we are there? Why do you need to prepare our favorite food instead?" Talia asked.

Pedro simply smiled in response and said, "Remember that we are still going to play in a competition. We want all of you to be in your best condition during the competition. So, it is only normal to prepare your comfort foods to avoid problems along the way. Well We can enjoy their local cuisine after the event if you want."

"I see" Talia nodded in response.

Seeing that Talia had no follow-up questions, Pedro glanced at everyone and asked, "Does any of you have any other questions before I proceed?"

Everyone shook their heads in response. Thus, Pedro proceeded by activating the hologram projector that was displaying their sample name for the competition.

"The Character Synchronization Feature in the game does not include the sync of the in-game name of our characters. So, we have a chance to alter our professional in-game names for the Simulation Battle. Since Armaz Energy International is our sponsor, our professional in-game names for the Simulation Battle should follow the format <In-gameName_ARES_ArmazEnergyInternational>."

"That said I have discussed with my mom and we had agreed that the guild's personal logo would be used instead without the influence of the sponsor company." Pedro said as he forced out a smile. Then, he added, saying, "However I am not that confident with my 'creative' skills. So, I would like to ask the help from all of you to come up with a guild's logo that we would useboth in tournaments and in the game. Submit your designs tomorrow and we'll vote on which logo would best represent our guild. Are all of you, okay with that?"

"Yes, Expert Bro!" Talia said with full of excitement as her competitive mindset was activated. On the other hand, everyone else simply nodded in response while thinking of good ideas for their guild's logo. But before some of them could even daydream, Pedro clapped his hands to attract their attention.

Then, he said, "That's all for the meeting tonight. You can go back to training if you have no further questions."
