The Chronicles Of The Stick Emperor 2 Chapter 2 - Thugs

"Eh? Your looking for a job? Well you came to the right person." said Alexander over the phone.

"Shut up, give me the listings." said Tang Yao

"Alright, Alright first is Red Lobster - Server $9.50/hr + tip; McDonald - Cas.h.i.+er $12.50/hr; Sub Way - Sandwich maker - $14.50/hr What do you think?" asked Alexander

"What do I think? Well f.u.c.k all these jobs are trash, I can barley make any money for them." said Tang Yao.

"Wait. Tang Yao don't you like games?" asked Alexander

"What do games have to do with earning money, I'm not a professional." replied Tang Yao

"No, not those trash computer games, I'm talking about the world's first VRMMORPG Reverie, you can join some gold mining team with a salary of $4,000 a month!" said Alexander

"Reverie the game that is always being advertised, isn't it suppose to be released in a few days? Still, if I play a game I want to be free, I don't want to earn gold forever." said Tang Yao

"You don't have to join a team to make money, if you get some items from killing monsters you can sell them to other players for money, or in game currency which can be traded for cash. In the game the currency is Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. When the game is set to release you can trade 1 gold for $1000!" said Alexander

"Well f.u.c.k, why didn't you tell me this earlier?" asked Tang Yao

"Well because, you first need to buy a device that you can play the game on, and the cheapest one is a thousand dollars, and you need 100x Iron to get 1 Bronze, 100x Bronze to get 1 Silver, and 100x Silver to get 1 Gold. You also only start off with 10 Iron Coins, so you would need 1 million Iron coins for 1 gold coin." said Alexander

"Doesn't matter you said that I could sell items for cash that is enough. Bye." said Tang Yao

"WAIT! f.u.c.k he disconnected whatever I forgot to tell him to buy the device as soon as possible, since they have a special offer going on that if you are within the first 5 people to buy the capsule you get something special in game." said Alexander.

Tang Yao looked online, and found that they were selling the devices tomorrow, so he would head there later. First he needed to research the game more, after he researched the game for several hours he found that. When one created a character they can only just their appearance by 10%, and that there are only 500 hidden cla.s.ses within the game. Also that a player can only have 1 account, and it can not be recreated, so he needed to be extra careful when making his character. He also found out that there is a special offer tomorrow where the first 5 people who buy the capsule will receive a special in-game reward. So Tang Yao decided, to arrive extra early and camp out the first 5 spots.

'Holy s.h.i.+t, Why is there so many people in line already, I came an hour early to be the first 5, but there are already more than 500 people in line, what the h.e.l.l is this s.h.i.+t?' though Tang Yao. He could only curse at himself for being so foolish, of course there were gonna be people who camp overnight to be one of the first 5 people.

As the line was moving forward, he saw an old man across the street begging for food, and that people around him were spitting at him, and verbally abusing the old man. Tang Yao would normally not involve himself in that mess, but when he saw a that the old man was smiling, he felt that something was off, and decided to get out of line and help the old man.

Tang Yao yelled at the thugs while running towards the old man, "Yo, why the h.e.l.l are you guys abusing the old man."

Tang Yao also noticed a young girl running towards the old man to offer a.s.sistance as well. 'Interesting, is she helping out of kindness' wondered Tang Yao.

"Eh? Why the h.e.l.l do you care what we do to this old man?" questioned one of the thugs who were abusing the old man.

Before Tang Yao could respond, the little girl came and said, "Does it make you feel good, to abuse a homeless old man, who barley has enough to eat?"

"Who the h.e.l.l is this little girl, you should get away there are many mean people now a days, that would kidnap a little girl." said one of the thugs while chuckling.

Seeing how these thugs were l.u.s.ting after this little girl reminded Tang Yao of his sister, which p.i.s.sed Tang Yao off.

"Shameless Sc.u.m" shouted the little girl, before trying to run off.

One of the thugs reached out and grabbed the girl, "Hehe, you shouldn't have gotten involved little girl, now your going to experience the real world."

Tang Yao grabbed the thugs hand and said in his most manly voice, "Let go of the girl."

"Eh? Let go of my hand, we have you out numbered don't try to be a hero and scram!" shouted the thug.

Tang Yao pulled the girl out of the man's grip, and flipped him onto the floor before the thug realized what happen.

"Little girl get as far away as you can" said Tang Yao to the girl.

"Huh? WTF GET HIM!" shouted the thug who was on the floor.

Several people in line, could only look apologetically to the man for trying to be a hero.

"You guys think you can beat me?" snorted Tang Yao

Tang Yao then grabbed the first attacker, and broke his wrist before throwing him into the men rus.h.i.+ng at him. Causing several of them to fall down on their behind.

The man who had the broken wrist was rolling on the ground screaming in agony.

"I suggest you guys back off before, I decide to get serious." said Tang Yao in a menacing tone.

"RUSH AT HIM, he can't possibly beat all of us at once" shouted one of the thug.

All the thugs rushed at Tang Yao, then before anyone realized what happened all the Thugs were on the floor grabbing their legs, and screaming in agony.

"I'll say this once again, leave before I decide to get serious." said Tang Yao

"YOU THINK YOUR SO COOL HUH? LETS SEE YOU DEAL WITH THIS!" one of the thugs shouted before pulling out a gun.

All the people in line were shocked, and started to run away in several directions, to get out of the cross fire. Of course, the people didn't leave they were hiding behind some objects to watch the outcome.

Tang Yao dashed towards the man faster then he could see, and bent his gun, then punched him in the gut sending him flying for 5 meters before falling to the ground, and pa.s.sing out from the pain.

'Huh, all the people in line are gone, guess I'll be the first 5, hehe.' though Tang Yao. 'Wait, where the old man, and girl?' Tang Yao turned around and saw the old man smiling, and the girl behind him with a shocked expression.

"Are you okay old man?" asked Tang Yao.

"Interesting" murmured the old man, not bothering to reply to Tang Yao question, before walking off.

"What a weird old man, whatever I'm not gonna be the first 5 people." said Tang Yao.

Tang Yao then walked in the line, and the surrounding people were still in shock before, all the people realized that everyone left the line, and they saw that Tang Yao was now first in line, and the little girl was 2nd in line. Everyone now had the same thought, 'There are 3 spots left in line'. All the people started to rush towards the line, in an attempt to become one of the 5 people to receive the special reward.

The 3 people who got the spot was 1 women, and 2 men who got the spot after clawing through the crowd. The people who were originally the first 5 in line, could only show expression of regret for leaving the line.

After a few minutes of waiting, it was finally time for the store to open, and everyone in line was filled with antic.i.p.ation. However, the person that opened the door shocked everyone in line. Though Tang Yao was expecting it, he was still quite surprised when he opened the door for everyone.
