Chapter 44: Final preparations

"Boss, you guys level up so fast!" Nightingale felt like crying.

"It’s just been a month but you all are already level 20!"

"How are casuals like us supposed to save any face if you continue leveling up at such a crazy speed?"

Noah chuckled. "Work harder then".

"..." Tears streamed down Nightingale’s face.

At this moment, they were all complete. The initial group of 4, Nightingale’s crew that played the Pork Labyrinth dungeon with Noah, completing the unique skill challenge with him, including Noah’s friends.

After hearing of the commotion that Lord Doom was causing at the arena, Nightingale and his crew rushed there where they were able to witness the extraordinary skill of God level players first-hand.

It took some getting used to, but Nightingale finally accepted the fact that he really was interrupting with God-level players of the English Warstar Pro Alliance.

He was not sure about the others but Noah and Aria were definitely God level players of England’s Warstar eSports scene.

Afterall, not every pro player could boast of an MVP award.

It took some time before Nightingale was able to let go of his fanboyism a bit to start interacting with them normally.

At this moment, they were inside an inn with their in-game Avatars, enjoying a treat that Nightingale sponsored.

Nightingale did indeed complete a special quest that rewarded him with a thousand-year-old mystical wine.

In Warstar, mystical items don’t just have an aesthetic value, they have tangible benefits attributed to them, including this wine.

It improved certain attributes of a Warstar Avatar.

[+2 Spirit Attribute]

[+2 Vitality Attribute]

It was while they idly ate with their in-game Avatars that Nightingale brought up a conversation. "The new Pro Alliance season is starting in less than 2 months".

"Yeah". Noah idly nodded.

"The teams that will be competing in the new campaign are already finalized".

"Yeah".

"..."

Nightingale truly felt like crying. ’Can’t you say more? Say more! Say more! What’s yeah? Am I an NPC?’

In the end, with a sigh, he finally decided to go straight to the point.

"Boss, don’t you guys intend to return to the Pro Alliance?"

Noah finally looked at Nightingale. "Yeah, why?"

Nightingale sighed. "You know, it’s less than 2 months to the start of a new campaign yet your new Avatars are still just level 20".

He looked at Noah. "How do you guys intend to do it?"

"We’re not joining this new campaign".

"Huh?"

Noah chuckled. "Our initial rush was because at first, I thought the Warstar World Championship will be played every year".

"Our main goal for deciding to come out of retirement is for the World title".

"If it is played every 2 years, that gives us more preparation time and to me, that’s win-win in my books".

"While the new campaign starts, we’ll focus on building our in-game Avatars into the ultimate competitive version".

"Our new team will join in the 2027/2028 season".

"Oh! Wow," Nightingale’s Deadly Musician looked at him. "I finally understand". He took another sip of the wine.

"What of a sponsor?" Nightingale looked at him. "Creating a new pro team from scratch is not an easy endeavor, you need to have a sponsor".

Hearing that, Noah smiled, shamelessly looking at him. "I heard from Vivi that you’re a rich musician in London".

"Do you perhaps want to be our sponsor?"

"Ahem...," Nightingale cleared his throat, making Benjamin chuckle.

The older fellow looked at the musician. "I’m telling you boy, sponsoring a future championship team has to be your Goodluck fortune".

He sighed. "I never had the privilege".

"Once, I wanted to sponsor a championship team, but they said my funds weren’t goal-den enough". He shook his head. "Too pitiful, just too pitiful".

"Umm, I’ll think about it". Nightingale eventually said.

But in his mind, his heart said something else entirely. ’Yes! Yes! I actually did it, I actually got the opportunity to sponsor God Noah’s new team!’

’I can’t believe it!’

At that moment, Noah smiled mischievously. "Since you’re going to think about it, why not give us certain privileges of being sponsored by you".

"Afterall, you have to prove to us that you have the means".

Nightingale was confused. "Privileges like?"

Noah nodded. "Well, actually, we’ve been preparing for some time for our first level 20 dungeon raid and we’re almost done with our preparations".

"Really?" Nightingale was excited. "Can I join?"

"Sorry, it’s a 5-man party level 20 beginner village dungeon".

"Oh!" Nightingale sighed in dejection. "So?"

Noah responded like he’s been waiting for this question all along. "We’ve completed majority of our preparations, except one," he raised a finger up for emphasis. "And that is fully gearing our in-game Avatars up".

Noah smiled mischievously. "We need a full set of A-ranked gear".

"..."

Nightingale’s face fell as he finally understood. ’I’ve been scammed!’

At this stage of the game, there are no S-ranked equipment, making A-ranked equipment the pinnacle available to players.

Special quests and circumstances are needed to get an A-ranked equipment.

They were incredibly rare to get but at just level 20, their drop rate was significantly higher than when it is high level A-ranked equipment.

To get a complete set of A-ranked equipment to fully gear up Noah and his friends, that was going to put a dent in Nightingale’s bank account no matter how rich he thought he was.

In the end, despite feeling that he was scammed though, Nightingale didn’t argue much about it. He paid for it.

And with that, about an hour later, Noah and his friends’ final preparations was complete as they became fully-geared in level 20 A-ranked equipment.

After leveling up for most of the day, leveling up to level 20, from there going to complete their class change quest and then fighting in the arena, they’ve expended a great deal of energy already.

For the dungeon raid, Noah wanted himself and his friends to be fresh mentally, ready to give their best.

"Let’s go rest".

"Let’s meet up in 7 hours".

"By then, you all should be fully rested".

Nightingale and his friends also went to rest.

Though they won’t be participating in the dungeon raid, they wanted to be alert and active when Noah’s team entered a level 20 dungeon the first time.

Surely, a new clear record was going to be set.

With that, they all left.
