Crom continued to look for more of the herbs but it was seeming like his luck on foraging had been spent as the five he found were the only ones he was seeing in his area. “Well I got five so at least we are past the halfway part.” He offered as he moved around looking in a new place.

Zhao offered up some questions about what stopped people from making build to simply farm the mission here and Himari offered up the suggestion that there was probably a limit in place. “Yeah that would make sense or the prices of good things just increase way more then its worth to farm this mission for more then the beginning stages.” Crom gave his own theory on Zhao’s questions. [break][break]

“I feel like if anything if Earth-chan saw people farming low missions they? It? Probably it would change it to some super dangerous mission out of spite.” He said with a smirk since it seemed pretty in character with this random being to be that petty.

Crom was a bit disheartened to hear that Zhao didn’t have any ability that could search to find specific things but he already figured that wasn’t going to be a thing, now he was more surprised by Zhao saying he had someone that could help him and with a snap of his fingers summoned a woman with pink pigtails who looked like someone straight out of an anime. [break][break]

“You can summon people?” Crom asked as he got up from where he was searching. “So you are a summoner in simplest terms, is there a limit of how many people you can summon? Is she the only one you can summon? Are you able to summon multiples of her?” A barrage of questions came flowing out of the Russian boy’s mouth as his interest in these different abilities and classes took over. “I have seen someone summon things before like with Dakota’s Fox back in LA but I didn’t know that some people were going to be able to also summon actual people.”

“Hey Zhao, what ya reading?” Crom asked as he found Zhao within the manga section, his eyes looking over what was left over. He was surprised that people hadn’t taken these to use as kindling and such. Crom would make a note to come back and see what he could take and read since entertainment was limited now a days. “Oh yeah the actual thing I came here for, There is a mission being given out by an NPC in the safe zone to collect some medicinal herbs.” Crom explained to the gamer, he was sure that Zhao would be up for doing some missions. “Figured you would be up to do some grinding of missions as we find them, get those points and such.” Crom offered with a smile, this was reminding him of his childhood talking about games and such with friends before he stopped really playing them to focus on his research.

It was finally time to get out there and explore the area. People were already talking about getting missions or finding NPCs that gave missions which in turn gave people more points to spend and so on and so forth it really seemed that the world had turned into the deadliest MMO and there was no way to avoid it. Well Crom assumed you might be able to if you simply hid in the Safe zones that had popped up around the world, but they didn’t know how long those would last or if they would disappear the next day.[break][break]

The mission that Crom was heading off to do today was a simple one that asked for help gathering some medicinal plants to be processed into medicine, bandages, potions and all that, which was actually then sold in the nearby safe zone. It was interesting to see that the actions of the “players” actually contributed to the safety and progression of the safe zones. While Crom did feel like he would be fine simply doing this task by himself he figured he would try and recruit another person that he had met in Los Angeles and also understood gaming a bit, so he was currently looking for Zhao Wang or as he liked to call himself “Booblord” it was a nonsensical gamer name but Crom didn’t care, if Zhao wanted to tell people about it he could do what he wanted but Crom was probably never going to call him by that name.

Finding Zhao wasn’t as difficult as people would expect he had a very certain way of speaking and his mannerisms were easy to predict to an extent so Crom simply went looking for any place that held any kind of reference to gaming, manga or the like which luckily there was a nearby PC café that Crom was sure Zhao was in.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
