Chapter 438: The Truth (5)

“Of course, since those in power don’t want you to experience any loss, in addition to the information we’re providing today, you’ll also be fairly compensated for the gaming time you’re missing,” Raya added, her bright smile once again lighting up her face.

“Oh? What sort of compensation are we talking about?” Leo asked, curious as to what sort of additional compensation he was going to get from the Arc Ship staff.

“You will get two very important items as compensation–” Raya began, her eyes lighting up as she talked about this topic.

“Firstly you will be given a ‘Meditation Scroll’, sponsored by the Universal Government.

Now….. I know you don’t understand what a meditation scroll is or its importance within the rainbow stream, so let me first explain to you, just how amazing this compensation is!” Raya said, as she brought out a meditation scroll and placed it on the dining table.

“In terms of in-game currency, this item is worth upwards of 5 billion gold coins…. And even if one had the money to buy it, there is no guarantee that one would find the opportunity to purchase it, this item is just that rare!” Raya said, as Leo felt blown away by this astronomical number.

He was currently earning millions of gold coins a month, however, even he could not afford such an expensive item, even if he saved for years.

“The empty room beside your bed, where you workout everyday…. It’s not really a workout room.

That empty room is a meditation room, however, most individuals on this Arc Ship don’t understand what it’s for” Raya said, as the excitement was now palpable on her face.

“When you game…. Do you feel like it’s very hard for you to improve your skills?

Like improving the mastery of your skills is very difficult?

If I’m not wrong, all your skills are still at (basic) proficiency despite you using them regularly while in the game” Raya pointed out, as Leo nodded in agreement.

It was indeed very hard to raise the mastery of skills and it wasn’t just him who faced this problem, but rather every player that did.

Very few players had reached (Intermediate) grade mastery over their skills and most of the skills were very low level.

Nobody had yet improved the mastery grade of a Semi-Legendary or Legendary grade skill, including Leo, who was struggling as well.

“With the help of this meditation scroll, you will make rapid progress in improving the mastery of your skills and also make rapid progress in reaching the next realm of your class.

If you meditate properly and consistently for 6-8 hours a day, you can most definitely reach the [ master ] realm in your profession by the time we reach planet Terra Nova.

To meditate is to cultivate, it’s the fastest and most efficient way to becoming more powerful, with the highest realms only accessible through meditation” Raya said, as she longingly gazed towards the meditation scroll as if it were some invaluable treasure.

“Once you bind with this meditation scroll, it will become your exclusive property, that can only be read by you.

Usually, one has to become a certain level of employee within the Universal Government’s hierarchy to gain access to this meditation technique. However, my higher ups have decided to give you one as a gesture of goodwill.

It’s truly an unprecedented honor, and you are very lucky to have it–” Raya said, as at this point Leo felt like he was receiving a truly special item.

He did not know much about meditation as of now, however, by how Raya described it, the technique seemed to be something truly magical.

“So how do I bind with it?” Leo asked, as Raven pointed towards a symbol on the meditation paper and replied “Just drop a bit of your blood there–”

Immediately, Leo bit his thumb and pressed the blood down on it, successfully binding with the scroll which glowed with a faint gold light.

” *Sigh*, you have no idea how lucky you are Mr.Skyshard to be given that scroll.

I have been working for the Universal Government for 17 years now…. But I’ll probably need to work for 3 more to get it” Raven said, as he seemed slightly jealous that Leo got this scroll when he did not even understand its value.

“So… are there any other methods to obtain this scroll? I mean there has to be because you guys have built a meditation room in every apartment” Leo asked, as Raven nodded in acknowledgement.

“The game Terra Nova Online does have a total of 20 hidden meditation scrolls for players to claim, however, the method of claiming one is random and completely based on luck.

There is no guarantee as to whether or not one will get it or not, but by the end of our journey you can expect a few more players to have it.

As for why this Arc Ship has a meditation room in every room from Sector C onwards, it’s because this ship wasn’t just designed for you.

Sometimes we use this ship to transport people within the rainbow stream, people who need to meditate daily and hence every ticket from C class and above needs to mandatorily be equipped with a meditation room” Raven explained as Leo suddenly realized that this Arc Ship was no different from a large airplane.

Although they were the passengers within this plane for now, they were not going to be the only passenger boarding it for life.

After this trip was over, the ship would be deployed for something new and the needs of the next batch of passengers may differ.

“I see ….. so that’s one of my benefits, but you mentioned that I’m going to get two?

So what is the other benefit that I’m getting in return for this 6 month probation period?” Leo asked, as at this point he felt like maybe he wasn’t really making a loss by entering into this agreement with the ship operators.
