Seeing the last notification from Hestia, Arthur was certainly surprised but then realized that she was a goddess that was like this with most players. It was the reason why she had so many priests and priestesses joining her church.
'While the healing abilities of the priests of Hestia aren't the best, their buffs are still good.' Arthur thought while unsummoning Brambles and leaving the temple.
Almost all priests of deities had healing abilities, but their effectiveness varied depending on what was the authority of the deity.
For example, a deity that had authority over fire might not have a priest that can heal well. But they would be able to provide fire buffs, resistances and more.
'For early game, the priests of Hestia were still decent.' Arthur remembered. 'Though the top healer in the game wasn't even a priest…' he recalled a certain man.
"I wonder if he has even started playing yet." Arthur had no idea since there was no concrete information about him before.
He thought about all this while walking towards the inn. Having accomplished several goals today, Arthur was ready to log out.
>Would you like to log out?<
"Yes." Once he was in the inn, Arthur quickly logged out.
A flurry of colors appeared in his vision before he appeared in the environment of the Dream Pod V3.
"Let's take a look at the revenue, shall we?" Arthur quickly entered the forums.
>User Identified<
>Logging in!<
>Welcome to Grand Nexus Forums!<
He then switched to the revenuer section and checked how much he had made his this time.
<User Revenue>
——
Total Generated: 6274 UC
——
"That's better than before. Guess more people are noticing it now." Arthur muttered while looking at his post's performance. "I can leave this up for a bit more before the next post." He reckoned.
Next, he got to quickly withdrawing the amount to his account.
~DING~
>6274 UC has been credited to your account<
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt>Total Balance: 7060 UC<
Seeing the confirmation message, Arthur was satisfied. Having spent 5000 UC for the deposit and rental before, Arthur's bank balance had fallen. But in just a few hours, it had risen once more.
'If I keep this up, I won't have any issues paying off the loan in just a month.' Arthur calculated a rough estimate.
>You have a new mail from Hypnotek!<
It was now that he saw a new email appear.
"Hmm?" He quickly opened it and saw that it was related to the moving of the Dream Pod V3.
<Your request for moving of your Dream Pod V3 shall be fulfilled today. The technicians will arrive by 10 am at your residence>
"I guess I can move out today, then." In all that he had done in the game, Arthur had almost forgotten that he was actually supposed to move too.
It was the time difference that made him a bit disoriented and it was something a lot of players would face. After all, in the span of one day, they would be living twice as long.
One day in the real world and one in the game while asleep.
Though many would prefer the game world after a while. If not for the fact that they still needed to eat and take care of their bodily needs, it wouldn't be unusual for the players to simply not log out.
"I should eat breakfast before they arrive and get the things in order." Arthur said before leaving the Dream Pod V3.
Its lid opened with a mechanical sound and Arthur got out.
"HAAAH!" Arthur stretchered his back, feeling it pop lightly. "Feels nice!"
>Player Arthur's Hunger is at 20%!<
"That… will take some time to get used to it." Looking at the notification hovering in front of him, Arthur was a bit startled but calmed down quickly.
Arthur quickly whipped up breakfast with all that he had left and ate it all up.
>Player Arthur's hunger is replenished to 100%<
"There we go… now to just finish up the final packing." Arthur checked if he was done with all the things.
He was going to leave behind the furniture since it was old and close to breaking and the only thing he was taking with him was some of the essentials and clothes.
'I should probably buy some clothes later too. I do have enough to do that now.' Arthur thought.
While his clothes could still work, he still had a limited amount of them. Most of them were in a worn condition too.
And by the time he was done with everything, he got a call.
"Good morning! We've arrived to move the Dream Pod V3." The person on the phone spoke.
"Ah yes! You can come up." Arthur replied.
Five minutes later, a knock was heard on the door, prompting Arthur to open it.
"Greetings." The technician said with a smile.
"Greetings. Ah, it's you all again." Arthur recognized the men.
They were the same people who had set up the Dream Pod for him originally.
"Yes. We're the one's assigned to this area." The technician replied.
"Though we're surprised you're already asking to move it." The second technician spoke in confusion.
"Oh? Is it too quick?" Arthur raised his brows.
"No rather… you're the very first one to request it." The technician replied.
"First one in the area?" Arthur inquired.
"First one among everyone that had bought a Dream Pod V3 so far." The technician revealed.
"Huh… didn't expect that." Arthur was certainly surprised. "I thought at least a couple of people would have done it too. You know, refunds or replacements."
"None so far. The feedback we've gotten is really great and basically everyone is loving the Dream Pod V3." The second technician replied.
"It certainly shows the quality of the product." The first technician said with a hint of pride.
"Indeed." Arthur nodded before moving out of the way. "You can get to work. I'll just get my things out of the way."
The technicians went in and looked at the tiny apartment that now seemed to have most of the things other than furniture cleared out.
Upon seeing the apartment, a thought appeared in the mind of the technician.
"Are you moving out today itself by any chance?" the first technician questioned.
"Yeah." Arthur nodded. "The new address for the Dream Pod is where I'm moving to as well."
"I see…" The technician replied before thinking of something. "If you want, you can ride along with us." He offered.
"Would that be fine?" The offer was convenient for Arthur.
"We do have the space, so it's fine. Just give us 5 star rating in the feedback." The technician chuckled.
"Of course!" Arthur was satisfied with that.
"Let's get to work then." The Technician said.
Arthur watched them work as they disconnected the Dream Pod V3.
It was too large to take out through the doorway, thus they had to disassemble it first. Thankfully, they didn't have to fully disassemble it in the way that it had arrived as that would take quite some time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInstead, they simply disassembled it into three parts; the chamber in which the user sat, the lid, and the power supply unit.
With the three parts separated, the Dream Pod was packed into secure boxes before being taken down.
"You can come now." The first technician spoke.
"Sure," Arthur said before grabbing a single large box.
"Is that all you're bringing?" the technician asked.
"Yeah, I got all my new stuff in the new apartment already. I don't need the old furniture." Arthur replied.
"I see… that does make sense, considering the condition of them." The Technician agreed.
With that said, the two went down to the ground floor
"Ah, just give me a minute, I need to talk to the landlord." Arthur requested.
"Sure, we'll wait at the truck." The technician replied. "I'll take the box with me too."
"Thank you." Arthur said.
Arthur then went up to Boyd's apartment and knocked on the door.
~knock~ knock~
He waited for a few seconds before the door opened.
"What?" The man asked with a tired and irritated look.
It was clear that he hasn't had sleep from his expression.
"I'm moving out now." Arthur replied. "Here's the rental agreement and the remaining rent as well." He said before tapping on his phone.
>You've transferred 250 UC<
>Total Balance remaining: 6810 UC<
"Hmm… go on. Get out of my face." Boyd said after seeing that he had gotten the money.
Arthur had already re-read the agreement and knew that there were no issues in him leaving early. Boyd seemingly hadn't thought much while making the agreement, and only had some basic terms on it.
It worked in Arthur's favor, as it meant that he could leave whenever he wanted as long as he paid that month's rent.
~thud~
Boyd closed the door in his face, making Arthur sigh.
"Guess it'll take him longer to change." Arthur shook his head before heading out.
He saw the truck waiting for him, and the technician that was waiting outside it.
"Ready?"
