Online Cluster: Great Tomb
Chapter 1: Scammers and Sultans
I logged into Cluster World using Asset. The way to use this tool is also fairly easy. Just need to wear all available tools and lay the body in a relaxed manner, in fifteen seconds the players will enter the virtual world.
After the body of my avatar was formed, I opened my eyes and realized that I was in one of the rooms of our clan headquarters. I got out of the room and decided to go to the computer room, the place where we were monitoring around the headquarters and looking for information.
By the way, all the items in this headquarters we bought them. The price is also cheap because they are not things that can be obtained in the real world. I mean, different than when players buy shirts in the game and the developer actually sends the shirt to the address of the player who bought it. We used to call it souvenirs.
When opening the computer room door, one of the computers was still on with a dark room. I turned on the light by pressing the switch that was near the entrance of the room. A person with long black hair was focusing on looking at the data on the screen.
“Still not logout, Laz?”
“Not yet. A little more.”
I approached him and stood next to the chair he was sitting on and looked towards the same screen while trying to understand what he was doing. It looks like he is compiling and sorting data from what looks important.
“There's a good?”
I asked her briefly.
“Many! Especially this..”
He pointed at one of the files with his hand.
“...They have many Blueprints, especially the same weapons ammunition. But we don't have a 3D Printer or the materials to make it.”
“Emh... There are no NPC stores or players who sell?”
“Shortly!”
He searched the computer. Since the internet in the real world can be reached through this game, I don't think it will be difficult to find information if there are players who sell the items we want.
“Ane search in FB there are selling. His avatar's house is on the S7. Wanna go there? If yes will ane contact the person.”
“Sector 7 yes... Contact him, I'll be there now!”
I picked up the earpiece and immediately put it on.
“Oya Laz, know market price 3D Printer gak?”
“If in NPC usually 15 million Credits. If the average player is in the number 9 to 12 millions.”
“By! I bought it for our clan. Tell him he's logged in through the earpiece! Just get a Blueprint for M4A1 with AR-15 if you have.”
“There if not wrong, later ane see again.”
After that I left the headquarters and headed to Sector 7 through the transporter that was in the middle of the city. Each Sector must have a city as a safe area and transporters to move the players to the other Sector they want. Our headquarters are in Sector 51, for the exact location to be kept secret.
After arriving at Sector 7, I did not feel any difference from the other Sector cities, even though this was my first time coming to Sector 7.
“News from the guy Laz?”
“There! He said he would login. His meeting place is at the southwest gate of the city he said.”
I slightly frowned hearing that.
“At the city gate..?”
“Iya. Need to tell other members nemanin?”
“Hoo... understand yak? But no problem. I bought it myself.”
“Judah. Ane off yak, drowsy from last night stay up late to compile the data. IGN him Bajirot.”
“Oke, thanks.”
I left after the connection was cut off and reinserted the earpiece into the inventory, while checking the items inside.
“Hahhh... I should have brought a better weapon.”
Because of my habit of always leaving as much inventory space as possible, I ended up carrying only a gun and a pair of daggers as weaponry. As I was about to approach the gate that led out of the city, I pulled out a USP-type gun and hid it behind my body.
Someone was standing right in the middle of the path with many trees at its edges. He looked alone and was just waiting outside the gate. I approached him and stood right at the end line of the safe area.
“Bajirot...?”
“Oh, do you want to buy 3D Printer?”
I looked around and didn't see any other players around and answered his question.
“Iya. The stuff is?”
Without lingering he took out an object the size of a large safe with all its sides visible transparent except the bottom, then there were many other parts inside that I could not explain.
Honestly, it's the first time I've seen a 3D Printer, even I'm not sure if it's a 3D Printer.
“How much is it?”
“Nego here just let it taste good.”.
He invited me to approach him, but I chose to refuse.
“Well, it doesn't matter here either. So how much does it cost..?”
“Gue its mass is priced at 13 million.”
I think it's a little too expensive for the price between players. So I lowered the price a little.
“7 million how?”
“Ngot dikitlah bro, time is so..”.
I was a little offended when he said that.
“What if-..”
Suddenly someone from behind me nudged, by reflex I held back and twisted his right hand with my right hand to the back of his body, while the other hand held his neck while I was behind.
The player by the name of Bajirot was already holding an assault rifle weapon and pointed it at me.
“Cih!”
“Information on FB says that your house is here, but you prefer to trade at the city gate. You've also thought of a way if I don't get out of safe territory, then your partner will act like pushing me unintentionally and driving me out of safe territory. Hmm... Nice plan, but unfortunately it didn't work.”
I took the gun that was behind my shirt and pointed it right behind the head of the person who had been nudging me.
“I came here to buy. Since we stopped negotiating, I'll offer once more. 3D Printer that I bought at the price of your friend, Bajirot.”
“Ha? I give you expensive gini stuff. You release him, you will survive.”
He raised his weapon and started aiming.
“Ck ck ck, now you don't have a chance for that. You should already know that players who die outside the safe area will lose all equipment in the inventory if killed by other players, and players who kill will get everything.”
The player in front of me raised his voice.
“Hah! That's you know! What are we doing for?!”
Hearing that I immediately jumped backwards while pulling the player I was making a hostage, right after that Bajirot had shot a few bullets. He was about the player I was playing with, but it was useless as long as we were in safe territory.
“So so.. If you fail, the Bajirot only needs to kill you, so that your equipment is safe. I think you guys are a big-time scammer yak..”
Right after I said that, the player by the name of Bajirot tried to escape and leave behind the weapon and 3D Printer he had issued.
“Oh... You are not able to escape!”
I shot him a few times in the back until his body fell down and immediately disappeared.
“Should if you want to run mending towards the forest, instead of straight!”
I pushed the player I was holding outside the safe area and shot him in the head.
“While I was expecting a normal barter..”
I set foot outside the safe area to take that 3D Printer and put it into inventory. Then the weapon Bajirot left behind I also took of course.
“AK-47? Not my type, but I think it can be resold at a cheap price.”
I opened the inventory and saw what I got from the two players just now. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be said to be very good.
“Rubbish doang... hahh.
The message was shown in the hologram window right in front of me and the sender from Dimas. A short message that says, ‘Mabar? Of S36.’. I replied to his message with an answer, ‘Kuy! Bring me all my gear in the storage box.’, then he returns to reply, ‘Otw.’.
I went downtown and moved to Sector 36. This is my first time going to this sector. It turned out that no different from Sector 16, Sector 36 was a snowy region. Even in the city it is covered with snow.
I opened up the friend list and invited Dimas to the party. It didn't take long for him to accept it, two minutes later he reached Sector 36 and passed me by.
“Yo!”
I greeted him, and he replied with a greeting as well.
“Yo’i!”
“Snow area turned out to be S36. I don't know cuy, where don't have camouflage equipment.”
While replying to my statement, he gave all my equipment that I left at the headquarters with the barter feature already in place.
“What if you buy dye? NPCs usually sell even though they cost one hundred thousand credits.”
“Hmm.... somewhat expensive, anyway.. but okelah!”.
I agreed to his suggestion and went to one of the NPC stores to buy an item that could change the color of another item, namely dye. Even so, the dye will only be able to change the color for 12 hours. Then it goes back to the original color.
After buying the dye, I immediately used it. The item is round in shape and has a color according to what the player wants.
“Where to now?”
I asked for our purpose because I really didn't know where to go for the hunt. Besides, I also don't know what Dimas wants to do.
“South aja. There are many sources of ingot crystals. Maybe there will be a lot of people.”
“Oooh...PvP yes?”
“Vietnam. All you want to ngetes AWM new get anyway, hehe..”.
I laughed a little at hearing that too. I think he wants to find the item he needs. It was just to try a new weapon. Well, I'll come along if it has anything to do with hunting down other players. Although there is someone who much prefers this kind of thing in our Clan.
After the brief preparations I made were done, we headed south and looked for the plateau as a lurking spot. Just as we reached the point where we felt fit, Dimas pulled out the rifle he had just obtained last night.
“Shortly!”
I told him to stop all his activities in a slightly high tone.
“What?”
“No reducer wear? Sure?”
He looked several times at the rifle he was holding, then at me.
“Casual.. I bring Optical Camouflage kok.”.
I frowned hearing that.
“What is it?”
He did not answer me, but took out an item that looked like a white raincoat. A moment after he put it on, suddenly the item that looked like a white raincoat was seen disappearing - perhaps more precisely transparent.
“What is it?!”
Anyone would be surprised to see such an item, no exception to me. This is the first time I've seen anything like it.
“Hehe... good, ‘kan?”
I just shook my head in astonishment.
“How much does cuh cuy cost?”
Actually I don't want to ask you that kind of thing, but I'm very curious about the price.
“About 28 million credits if not wrong..”.
Nothing else and not just a sour expression that I showed while rubbing my chest slowly.
“My poor soul is tormented hearing that..!”.
He just showed a proud face. Honestly, it's a little disturbing. If it was me, mana would probably use 28 million credits for just one item. While my head was still filled with such an expensive number, again he took out a tool from within the inventory and gave it to me.
“What's new?”
“Bantuin measure the same distance the elevation of this disposable enemy.
A wry smile was plastered on his face. I just took the item in the shape of a viewfinder in his hand and asked nothing. After that Dimas positioned his body and weapon in the prone position.
“Not cold?”
“Cockwise. Not touching the snow. There is Optical Camouflage, so it is not cold.”
It seems that my worries are not necessary at all. Honestly speaking, Dimas now only had his head and his gun in sight, and it was a little uncomfortable to look at. But part of me thinks this is funny.
Without saying anything I sat down next to him and used the tool he gave me earlier in front of my right eye while looking for other players. It features distance, temperature, altitude, direction, elevation angle, and automatic counting in its optics.
“Good also nih..”
“Clearly! Isn't it worth?”
“GAK!!”
If I asked about the price, it would only hurt myself, especially my financial side.
“Oh, I think there are players!”
I saw two people walking together in thick clothes and their plains position was slightly higher than our place. When Dimas asked about the calculations, that's when I just needed to give him the information already in the optical apparatus
“Arah?”
“172 degree.”
“Jarak?”
“218 meters.”
“Elevation?”
“0.4 to top.”
Dimas looks a little set the visibility of his weapon aiming tool.
“Oya cuy, lately group chat so quiet yak?”
I looked at him for a moment, then looked back at the aiming tool.
“Ya. How you gonna do it again? I have plans for a new member. But not yet for now.”.
“Hmm..”
He didn't say anything more after that and just pulled the trigger. Instantly one of the players who was far away there gasped and his body immediately disappeared.
“If you need help tell me. I'll help spread the group link.
While saying that he got up from his position and put all his equipment into the inventory. I also stood up because my body was starting to feel cold.
“It's already…? Isn't there still one person?”
“Already, just want to try once just kok.”
He at once asked me to return the tool that was given. He does not give, but only lends.
“Shortly... means I spent a hundred thousand credits for dye, Just for one try?!”
“Lah, yes. Dah yuk, back to the headquarters aja.”
I just put on a wry smile with both hands clasped and was forced to accept it.
“Oke.”
‘Basic sultan!’
